**<u>PACIFICORP</u>** 

*General*

PacifiCorp, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BHE, is a U.S. regulated electric utility company headquartered in Oregon that serves approximately 2.1 million retail electric customers in portions of Utah, Oregon, Wyoming, Washington, Idaho and California. PacifiCorp is principally engaged in the business of generating, transmitting, distributing and selling electricity. PacifiCorp's combined service territory covers approximately 141,500 square miles and includes diverse regional economies across six states. No single segment of the economy dominates the combined service territory, which helps mitigate PacifiCorp's exposure to economic fluctuations. In the eastern portion of the service territory, consisting of Utah, Wyoming and southeastern Idaho, the principal industries are manufacturing, mining or extraction of natural resources, agriculture, technology, recreation and government. In the western portion of the service territory, consisting of Oregon, southern Washington and northern California, the principal industries are agriculture, manufacturing, forest products, food processing, technology, government and primary metals. In addition to retail sales, PacifiCorp buys and sells electricity on the wholesale market with other utilities, energy marketing companies, financial institutions and other market participants to balance and optimize the economic benefits of electricity generation, retail customer loads and existing wholesale transactions. Certain PacifiCorp subsidiaries support its electric utility operations by providing coal mining services.

PacifiCorp's operations are conducted under numerous franchise agreements, certificates, permits and licenses obtained from federal, state and local authorities. The average term of these franchise agreements is approximately 21 years. Several of these franchise agreements allow the municipality the right to seek amendment to the franchise agreement at a specified time during the term. PacifiCorp generally has an exclusive right to serve electric customers within its service territories and, in turn, has an obligation to provide electric service to those customers. In return, the state utility commissions have established rates on a cost-of-service basis, which are designed to allow PacifiCorp an opportunity to recover its costs of providing services and to earn a reasonable return on its investments.

PacifiCorp was incorporated under the laws of the state of Oregon in 1989. Its principal executive offices are located at 825 N.E. Multnomah Street, Portland, Oregon 97232, its telephone number is (888) 221-7070 and its internet address is www.pacificorp.com. PacifiCorp delivers electricity to customers in Utah, Wyoming and Idaho under the trade name Rocky Mountain Power and to customers in Oregon, Washington and California under the trade name Pacific Power.

All shares of PacifiCorp's common stock are indirectly held by BHE.

*Subsequent Event*

On February 15, 2026, PacifiCorp and Portland General Electric Company and an affiliate of Portland General Electric Company (together, the "PGE Entities") entered into an Asset Purchase and Service Area Transfer Agreement (the "Sale Agreement") to sell to the PGE Entities certain PacifiCorp assets and liabilities associated with PacifiCorp's Washington operations for a sales price of $1.9 billion in cash plus additional cash consideration for the value of specified assets delivered at closing, subject to customary purchase price adjustments (the "Transaction").

The Transaction assets and liabilities are associated with PacifiCorp's retail service area in Washington and include certain related distribution assets and infrastructure, as well as PacifiCorp's Chehalis combined cycle natural gas-fueled generating facility located in Chehalis, Washington, Goodnoe Hills wind-powered generating facility located in Goldendale, Washington, and Marengo wind-powered generating facility located in Dayton, Washington.

Variations in weather, economic conditions and various conservation, energy efficiency and private generation measures and programs can impact customer energy requirements. Wholesale sales are impacted by market prices for energy relative to the incremental cost to generate electricity.

The annual hourly peak customer demand, which represents the highest demand on a given day and at a given hour, occurs in the summer when air conditioning and irrigation systems are heavily used. During the summer months of 2025, 2024 and 2023, PacifiCorp's hourly peak demand was 11,263, 11,156 and 10,802 MWs, respectively. Peak demand in the winter occurs due to heating requirements. During the winter months of 2025, 2024 and 2023, PacifiCorp's hourly peak demand was 9,302, 9,139 and 8,998 MWs, respectively.

(1)Repowered dates are associated with component replacements on existing wind-powered generating facilities commonly referred to by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") as repowering. IRS rules provide for re-establishment of the PTCs for an existing wind-powered generating facility upon the replacement of a significant portion of its components. If the degree of component replacement in such projects meets IRS guidelines, PTCs are re-established for 10 years beginning with the date the repowered facility is placed in-service.

(2)Converted dates are associated with the in-service date of coal-fueled generating facilities converted to natural gas-fueled facilities.

(3)Facility Net Capacity represents the lesser of nominal ratings or any limitations under applicable interconnection, power purchase, or other agreements for intermittent resources and the total net dependable capability available during summer conditions for all other units. An intermittent resource's nominal rating is the manufacturer's contractually specified capability (in MWs) under specified conditions. Net Owned Capacity indicates PacifiCorp's ownership of Facility Net Capacity.

(4)PacifiCorp removed Naughton Nos. 1 and 2 from coal-fueled service in December 2025 and will convert them to gas-fueled generation facilities in 2026.

PacifiCorp has a 2 MW battery energy storage system under construction in Oregon with an indeterminate in-service date.

PacifiCorp has entered into multiple electricity contracts from specified resources that it considers part of the total available generating capacity. The following table presents PacifiCorp's contractual right to capacity regarding generation sources of purchased electricity contracts as of December 31, 2025:

(1)All or some of the renewable energy attributes associated with generation from these sources may be: (a) used in future years to comply with RPS or other regulatory requirements, (b) sold to third parties in the form of RECs or other environmental commodities, or (c) excluded from energy purchased.

PacifiCorp is required to have resources available to continuously meet its customer needs and reliably operate its electric system. The percentage of PacifiCorp's energy supplied by energy source varies from year to year and is subject to numerous operational, economic and environmental factors such as planned and unplanned outages; fuel commodity prices; fuel availability; fuel transportation costs; weather, including temperature, hydrologic conditions, wind and sun; legislative and environmental considerations; transmission constraints; wholesale market prices of electricity and other factors. PacifiCorp evaluates these factors continuously in order to facilitate dispatch of its generating facilities. When factors for one energy source are less favorable, PacifiCorp places more reliance on other energy sources. For example, PacifiCorp can generate more electricity using its low-cost wind-powered and hydroelectric generating facilities when factors associated with these facilities are favorable. In addition to meeting its customers' energy needs, PacifiCorp is required to maintain operating reserves on its system to mitigate the impacts of unplanned outages or other disruption in supply, and to meet intra-hour changes in load and resource balance. This operating reserve requirement is dispersed across PacifiCorp's generation portfolio on a least-cost basis based on the operating characteristics of the portfolio. Operating reserves may be held on hydroelectric, coal-fueled, natural gas-fueled or certain types of interruptible load. PacifiCorp manages certain risks relating to its supply of electricity and fuel requirements by entering into various contracts, which may be accounted for as derivatives and may include forwards, options, swaps and other agreements. Refer to "General Regulation" in Item 1 of this Form 10-K for a discussion of energy cost recovery by jurisdiction and to PacifiCorp's Item 7A in this Form 10-K for a discussion of commodity price risk and derivative contracts.

*Coal*

PacifiCorp has interests in coal mines that support its coal-fueled generating facilities and jointly operates the Bridger surface coal mine. These mines supplied 17%, 18% and 18% of PacifiCorp's total coal requirements during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Most of PacifiCorp's coal reserves are held through agreements with the federal Bureau of Land Management and certain states and private parties. The agreements generally have multi-year terms that may be renewed or extended and require payment of rents and royalties. In addition, federal and state regulations require that comprehensive environmental protection and reclamation standards be met during the course of mining operations and upon completion of mining activities.

Coal reserve estimates are subject to adjustment as a result of the development of additional engineering and geological data, new mining technology and changes in regulation and economic factors affecting the utilization of such reserves. Recoverability by surface mining methods typically ranges from 90% to 95%.

PacifiCorp believes it will be able to purchase coal under both long- and short-term third-party contracts to supply the remaining coal requirements at its coal-fueled generating facilities over their currently expected remaining useful lives.

------

*Natural Gas*

PacifiCorp uses natural gas as fuel for its generating facilities that use combined-cycle, simple-cycle and steam turbines. Oil and natural gas are also used for igniter fuel and standby purposes. These sources are presently in adequate supply and available to meet PacifiCorp's needs.

PacifiCorp enters into forward natural gas purchases at fixed or indexed market prices. PacifiCorp purchases natural gas in the spot market with both fixed and indexed market prices for physical delivery to fulfill any fuel requirements not already satisfied through forward purchases of natural gas and sells natural gas in the spot market for the disposition of any excess supply if the forecasted requirements of its natural gas-fueled generating facilities decrease. When prudent, PacifiCorp also utilizes financial swap contracts to mitigate price risk associated with its forecasted fuel requirements.

*Wind* 

PacifiCorp utilizes wind-powered generating facilities as a prudent means of supplying electricity and to comply with laws and regulations. Wind-powered generating facilities have low to no emissions. The generation from PacifiCorp's wind-powered generating fleet, comprised of newly constructed and recently repowered wind-powered generating facilities, qualifies for federal PTCs for 10 years beginning with the date the new or repowered facility is placed in-service.

*Hydroelectric and Other Renewable Resources*

The amount of electricity PacifiCorp is able to generate from its hydroelectric generating facilities depends on a number of factors, including snowpack in the mountains upstream of its hydroelectric generating facilities, reservoir storage, precipitation in its watersheds, generating unit availability and restrictions imposed by oversight bodies due to competing water management objectives.

PacifiCorp operates the majority of its hydroelectric generating portfolio under long-term licenses. The FERC regulates 98% of the net capacity of this portfolio through 14 individual licenses, which have terms of 30 to 50 years. The licenses for these hydroelectric generating facilities expire at various dates through 2061. A portion of this portfolio is licensed under the Oregon Hydroelectric Act.

*Wholesale Activities*

PacifiCorp purchases and sells electricity in the wholesale markets as needed to balance its generation with its retail load obligations. PacifiCorp may also purchase electricity in the wholesale markets when it is more economical than generating electricity from its own facilities and may sell surplus electricity in the wholesale markets when it can do so economically. When prudent, PacifiCorp enters into financial swap contracts and forward electricity sales and purchases for physical delivery at fixed prices to reduce its exposure to changes in electricity prices.

------

*Energy Imbalance Market*

PacifiCorp and the California ISO implemented an EIM in November 2014, which delivers customer benefits by leveraging automation and resource diversity to result in more efficient dispatch of a larger and more diverse pool of resources, more effectively integrates renewables and enhances reliability through improved situational awareness and responsiveness. The EIM expands the real-time component of the California ISO's market technology to optimize and balance electricity supply and demand every five minutes across the EIM footprint. The EIM is voluntary and available to all balancing authorities in the western U.S. EIM market participants submit bids to the California ISO market operator before each hour for each generating resource they choose to be dispatched by the market. Each bid is comprised of a dispatchable operating range, ramp rate and prices across the operating range. The California ISO market operator uses sophisticated technology to select the least-cost resources to meet demand and send simultaneous dispatch signals to every participating generator across the EIM footprint every five minutes. In addition to generation resource bids, the California ISO market operator also receives continuous real-time updates of the transmission grid network, meteorological and load forecast information that it uses to optimize dispatch instructions. PacifiCorp is working with the California ISO to join the California ISO Extended Day-Ahead Market ("EDAM") in 2026. The EDAM is a voluntary day-ahead electricity market designed to deliver significant reliability, economic, and environmental benefits to balancing areas and utilities throughout the West. Customer benefits are expected to increase further with renewable resource expansion and as more entities join the EIM, bringing incremental resource diversity. With the development of other day ahead markets scheduled to go live in 2027, there is a risk of future reductions in benefits to PacifiCorp customers if current EIM balancing areas leave the EIM market. A smaller EIM footprint could lead to a reduction in transmission connectivity, resource and load diversity and market transfers between EIM balancing areas, potentially reducing overall EIM benefits.

<u>Transmission and Distribution</u>

PacifiCorp operates one balancing authority area in the western portion of its service territory ("PacifiCorp-West") and one balancing authority area in the eastern portion of its service territory ("PacifiCorp-East"). A balancing authority area is a geographic area with transmission systems that control generation to maintain schedules with other balancing authority areas and ensure reliable operations. In operating the balancing authority areas, PacifiCorp is responsible for continuously balancing electricity supply and demand by dispatching generating resources and interchange transactions so that generation internal to the balancing authority area, plus net imported power, matches customer loads. Deliveries of energy over PacifiCorp's transmission system are managed and scheduled in accordance with the FERC's requirements.

PacifiCorp's transmission system is part of the Western Interconnection, which includes the interconnected transmission systems of 14 western states, two Canadian provinces and parts of Mexico. PacifiCorp's transmission system, together with contractual rights on other transmission systems, enables PacifiCorp to integrate and access generation resources to meet its customer load requirements. PacifiCorp's transmission and distribution systems included approximately 17,500 miles of transmission lines in 10 states, 67,700 miles of distribution lines and 900 substations as of December 31, 2025.

PacifiCorp's transmission and distribution system is managed on a coordinated basis to obtain maximum load-carrying capability and efficiency. Portions of PacifiCorp's transmission and distribution systems are located:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On property owned or used through agreements by PacifiCorp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Under or over streets, alleys, highways and other public places, the public domain and national forests and state and federal lands under franchises, easements or other rights that are generally subject to termination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Under or over private property as a result of easements obtained primarily from the title holder of record; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Under or over Native American reservations through agreements with the U.S. Secretary of Interior or Native American tribes.

It is possible that some of the easements and the property over which the easements were granted may have title defects or may be subject to mortgages or liens existing at the time the easements were acquired.

<u>Wildfire Prevention</u>

PacifiCorp has developed detailed wildfire mitigation plans for each of the six states in which it operates. Wildfire mitigation plans are filed per required state timelines with the UPSC, the OPUC, the WPSC, the WUTC, the IPUC and the CPUC. These plans include capital investment in asset hardening and meteorological systems, the implementation of risk modeling tools and PacifiCorp's ongoing enhanced safety settings, inspections, vegetation management, PSPS and wildfire encroachment programs and policies.

------

*Asset Hardening*

PacifiCorp has and continues to invest in rebuilding overhead lines with covered conductor and in some cases has converted overhead distribution lines to underground. These system hardening efforts reduce the exposure of PacifiCorp's lines to interference from trees and other objects. Covered conductor helps mitigate the risk of fault-caused electrical arcs that could cause an ignition. Overall, mitigated overhead lines help reduce ignition risk and improve reliability during storms or periods of significant wildfire risk.

Approximately 8% of PacifiCorp's service territory and approximately 10% of its customer base are in fire high consequence areas ("FHCA"). Approximately 10,000 miles, or 15%, of PacifiCorp's distribution lines and approximately 1,800 miles, or 10%, of its transmission lines are in the FHCA. In 2024, the process for updating the risk modeling for the identification of the FHCA was completed resulting in an expansion of FHCA.

As of December 31, 2025, all of the approximately 1,800 miles of transmission lines in the FHCA are mitigated by system relay protection schemes. All of the approximately 10,000 miles of distribution lines in the FHCA include some form of mitigation including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 5,100 miles, or 51%, with bare conductor mitigated by system relay protection schemes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 800 miles, or 8%, with new covered conductor; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 4,100 miles, or 41%, underground.

The on-going asset hardening of the FHCA is a priority for PacifiCorp and a key part of the developed wildfire mitigation plans.

Refer to "Future Uses of Cash" in Item 7 of this Form 10-K for further discussion of PacifiCorp's wildfire prevention related capital expenditures, including asset hardening.

*Enhanced Safety Settings*

Enhanced safety settings are available across PacifiCorp's service territory, including the ongoing installation of new microprocessor relays to detect faults occurring on transmission and distribution lines when wildfire risk is elevated and de-energize the line quickly limiting the arc-energy and potential for wildfire ignition. Field reclosers are being upgraded with similar fault detection capability and are enabled when wildfire risk is elevated.

*Meteorology and Risk Modeling*

PacifiCorp has installed approximately 650 weather stations that monitor weather conditions and model the impact to the electrical infrastructure. These weather stations utilized by the weather forecasting team servicing PacifiCorp's service territory provide PacifiCorp with the ability to forecast weather and fire risk impact data twice daily. PacifiCorp will continue to install additional weather stations to refine weather modeling in areas where geographic terrain conditions require a dense network of weather stations in order to provide the necessary granular data. In 2025, PacifiCorp upgraded its existing high-powered computer clusters and installed three new high-powered computer clusters to transition to improved forecast models and longer-term forecasting with greater accuracy.

*Asset Inspection Program*

PacifiCorp conducts an annual inspection of overhead facilities within the FHCA with an accelerated correction timeline for any conditions noted. A detailed inspection of facilities is conducted every five years, which is twice as often as areas outside the FHCA.

*Vegetation Management*

PacifiCorp's vegetation management program includes annual vegetation inspections and ground clearing of equipment poles in the FHCA along with three-year trimming cycles in place, including in Oregon and California where fire hazard risk is highest.

------

*Public Safety Power Shutoff and Wildfire Encroachment Policy*

A PSPS is used as a preventative measure during periods of extreme wildfire risk where the electrical network is de-energized proactively under certain conditions. In determining whether to initiate a PSPS, PacifiCorp works with local public safety authorities in consideration of data from meteorological systems and forecasting tools. PacifiCorp also has a wildfire encroachment policy under which it will de-energize its lines when a known wildfire is within a specified distance of its assets. PSPS is an increasingly common practice for utilities to use as part of wildfire prevention.

*Situational Awareness - Wildfire Intelligence Center*

PacifiCorp has a dedicated situational awareness team, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, that began operation in April 2025 to monitor wildfire related threats and coordinate internal stakeholder action and external engagement. This team supports real-time operations by monitoring for weather, wildfire and other hazards external to the system that could threaten PacifiCorp's assets or community safety. Staffing is comprised of individuals with backgrounds in fire agency dispatch, wildland firefighting and emergency response. During wildfire season, the center's primary focus is to utilize technology for early identification of wildfires within 10 miles of PacifiCorp's transmission and distribution assets. The early detection capabilities allow PacifiCorp to determine the need for encroachment related de-energizations and utilize widely available intelligence to determine the level of threat to assets or communities and to proactively coordinate PacifiCorp's actions and external communications.

<u>Future Generation, Conservation and Energy Efficiency</u>

*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. The IRP process identifies the amount and timing of PacifiCorp's expected future resource needs, accounting for planning uncertainty, risks, reliability, state energy policies and other factors. The IRP is prepared following a public process, which provides an opportunity for stakeholders to participate in PacifiCorp's resource planning process. 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 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. In December 2025, the IPUC acknowledged the 2025 IRP.

*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 and 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 through Oregon retail rates. In May 2025, the OPUC issued an order for a partial waiver of competitive bidding rules but still requiring PacifiCorp to go through the formal approval process. The OPUC approved the RFP in August 2025, with certain conditions. Those conditions were satisfied in October 2025, when it was issued to market.

In June 2025, PacifiCorp filed an expedited application with the WUTC seeking approval to issue to market an RFP for new generating and energy storage resources that will serve Washington customers and be recovered through Washington retail rates. The WUTC approved the RFP in August 2025, and it was issued to market in September 2025.

------

*Energy Efficiency Programs*

PacifiCorp has provided its customers with a comprehensive set of DSM programs since the 1970s. The programs are designed to reduce energy consumption and more effectively manage when energy is used, including management of customer loads. PacifiCorp offers services to customers such as energy engineering audits and information on how to improve the efficiency of their homes and businesses. To assist customers in investing in energy efficiency, PacifiCorp offers rebates or incentives encouraging the purchase and installation of high-efficiency equipment such as lighting, heating and cooling equipment, weatherization, motors, process equipment and systems, as well as incentives for energy project management, efficient building operations and efficient construction. Incentives are also paid to solicit participation in load management programs by residential, business and agricultural customers through programs such as PacifiCorp's residential and small commercial air conditioner load control program, battery control program, electric vehicle programs and irrigation equipment load control programs. Although subject to prudence reviews, state regulations allow for recovery of costs incurred for the DSM programs through state-specific energy efficiency surcharges to retail customers or for recovery of costs through rates through PacifiCorp's general rate case process. During 2025, PacifiCorp spent $245 million on these DSM programs, resulting in an estimated 662,542 MWhs of first-year energy savings and an estimated 428 MWs of peak load management. In addition to these DSM programs, PacifiCorp has load curtailment contracts with a number of large industrial customers that deliver up to 247 MWs of load reduction when needed, depending on the customers' actual operations. Costs associated with the large industrial load curtailment program are captured in the respective customers' retail special contracts.

*Human Capital*

<u>Employees</u>

As of December 31, 2025, PacifiCorp had approximately 5,200 employees, of which approximately 2,800 (54%) were covered by union contracts, principally with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, the Utility Workers Union of America and the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers.

Variations in weather, economic conditions and various conservation and energy efficiency measures and programs can impact customer energy requirements. Wholesale sales are primarily impacted by market prices for energy.

There are seasonal variations in MidAmerican Energy's electricity sales that are principally related to weather and the related use of electricity for air conditioning. Additionally, electricity sales are priced higher in the summer months compared to the remaining months of the year. As a result, 40% to 50% of MidAmerican Energy's regulated electric retail revenue is reported in the months of June through September.

A degree of concentration of sales exists with certain large electric retail customers. Sales to the 10 largest customers, from a variety of industries, comprised 28%, 27% and 26% of total retail electric sales in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Sales to electronic data storage customers included in the 10 largest customers comprised 24%, 23% and 20% of total retail electric sales in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The annual hourly peak demand on MidAmerican Energy's electric system usually occurs as a result of air conditioning use during the cooling season. Peak demand represents the highest demand on a given day and at a given hour. During 2025, 2024 and 2023, MidAmerican Energy's hourly peak demand was 5,817, 5,623 and 5,851 MWs, respectively. On August 23, 2023, retail customer usage of electricity caused a new record hourly peak demand of 5,851 MWs on MidAmerican Energy's electric distribution system.

------

MidAmerican Energy is required to have accredited resources available for dispatch by MISO to continuously meet its customer's needs and reliably operate its electric system. The percentage of MidAmerican Energy's energy supplied by energy source varies from year to year and is subject to numerous operational and economic factors such as planned and unplanned outages; fuel commodity prices; fuel availability; fuel transportation costs; weather, including temperature, wind and sun; legislative and environmental considerations; transmission constraints; wholesale market prices of electricity and other factors. MidAmerican Energy evaluates these factors continuously in order to facilitate dispatch of its generating facilities by MISO. When factors for one energy source are less favorable, MidAmerican Energy places more reliance on other energy sources. For example, MidAmerican Energy can generate more electricity using its low cost wind-powered generating facilities when factors associated with these facilities are favorable. When factors associated with wind resources are less favorable, MidAmerican Energy must increase its reliance on more expensive generation or purchased electricity. Refer to "General Regulation" in Item 1 of this Form 10-K for a discussion of energy cost recovery by jurisdiction.

*Wind*

MidAmerican Energy owns more wind-powered generating capacity than any other U.S. rate-regulated electric utility and believes wind-powered generation offers a viable, economical and environmentally prudent means of supplying electricity and complying with laws and regulations. Pursuant to ratemaking principles approved by the IUC, facilities accounting for 87% of MidAmerican Energy's wind-powered generating capacity in-service at December 31, 2025, are authorized to earn a fixed rate of return on equity over their regulatory lives ranging from 10.75% to 12.3% on the depreciated cost of their original construction, which excludes the cost of later replacements, in any future Iowa rate proceeding. MidAmerican Energy's wind-powered generating facilities, including those facilities where a significant portion of the equipment was replaced, commonly referred to as repowered facilities, are eligible for federal renewable electricity PTCs for 10 years beginning with the date the facilities are placed in-service. PTCs are earned as energy from qualifying wind-powered generating facilities is produced and sold. PTCs for MidAmerican Energy's wind-powered generating facilities currently in-service began expiring in 2014, with final expiration in 2035. MidAmerican Energy has repowered 2,863 MWs of wind-powered generating facilities for which PTCs had expired and plans to repower 1,033 MWs of wind-powered generating facilities for which PTCs have expiration dates from 2024-2026.

Of the 7,854 MWs (nameplate capacity) of wind-powered generating facilities in-service, 7,651 MWs were generating PTCs at some point in 2025, including 2,863 MWs of repowered facilities. MidAmerican Energy earned PTCs from wind-powered generating facilities totaling $751 million, $761 million and $681 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

*Coal*

All the coal-fueled generating facilities operated by MidAmerican Energy are fueled by low-sulfur, sub-bituminous coal from the Powder River Basin in northeast Wyoming. MidAmerican Energy's coal supply portfolio includes multiple suppliers and mines under short-term and multi-year agreements of varying terms and quantities through 2028. MidAmerican Energy believes supplies from these sources are presently adequate and available to meet MidAmerican Energy's needs. Essentially all of MidAmerican Energy's expected coal supply requirements are covered under fixed-price contracts. MidAmerican Energy regularly monitors the western coal market for opportunities to enhance its coal supply portfolio.

MidAmerican Energy has a multi-year long-haul coal transportation agreement with BNSF Railway Company ("BNSF"), an affiliate company, for the delivery of coal to two MidAmerican Energy-operated coal-fueled generating facilities. Under this agreement, BNSF delivers coal directly to MidAmerican Energy's Walter Scott, Jr. Energy Center and to an interchange point with Canadian Pacific Kansas City Railway Company ("CPKC"). MidAmerican Energy has a single-year contract for short-haul delivery with CPKC from the interchange point to the Louisa Energy Center. MidAmerican Energy has a multi-year long-haul coal transportation agreement with Union Pacific Railroad Company for the delivery of coal to the George Neal Energy Center.

------

*Nuclear*

MidAmerican Energy is a 25% joint owner of Quad Cities Generating Station Units 1 and 2 ("Quad Cities Station"), a nuclear generating facility, which is currently licensed by the NRC for operation until December 14, 2032. Constellation Energy Generation, LLC ("Constellation Energy"), is the 75% joint owner and the operator of Quad Cities Station. Approximately one-third of the nuclear fuel assemblies in each reactor core at Quad Cities Station is replaced every 24 months. MidAmerican Energy has been advised by Constellation Energy that it expects to obtain the necessary uranium concentrates, conversion, enrichment and fabrication services to meet the nuclear fuel requirements of Quad Cities Station. In reaction to concerns about the profitability of Quad Cities Station and Constellation Energy's ability to continue its operation, in December 2016, Illinois passed legislation creating a zero-emission standard, which went into effect June 1, 2017. The zero-emission standard requires the Illinois Power Agency to purchase ZECs and recover the costs from certain ratepayers in Illinois, subject to certain limitations. Currently, Quad Cities is operating under agreements to provide Illinois load serving entities ZECs through May 31, 2027. Additionally, on August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into law which contained numerous provisions, including expanded tax credits for clean energy incentives. As a result of the enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, MidAmerican Energy's ownership of the Quad Cities Station qualifies for federal nuclear PTCs which provide a tax credit beginning in 2024 for qualifying production volumes subject to a phase-out based on annual gross receipts. Both the amount of the PTC and the gross receipt thresholds adjust annually for inflation over the duration of the program. MidAmerican Energy earned nuclear PTCs totaling $12 million and $49 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively, of which 88% were included in the Iowa EAC.

*Natural Gas and Other*

MidAmerican Energy uses natural gas and oil as fuel for intermediate and peak demand electric generation, igniter fuel, transmission support and standby purposes. These sources are presently in adequate supply and available to meet MidAmerican Energy's needs.

*Regional Transmission Organizations*

MidAmerican Energy sells and purchases electricity and ancillary services related to its generation and load in wholesale markets pursuant to the tariffs in those markets. MidAmerican Energy participates predominantly in the MISO energy and ancillary service markets, which provide MidAmerican Energy with wholesale opportunities over a large market area. MidAmerican Energy can enter into wholesale bilateral transactions in addition to market activity related to its assets. MidAmerican Energy is also authorized to participate in the Southwest Power Pool, Inc. and PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. ("PJM") markets and can contract with several other utilities in the region.

The MISO requires each member to maintain a minimum seasonal reserve margin of its accredited generating capacity over its seasonal peak demand obligation based on the member's seasonal load forecast filed with the MISO each year. Owned and contracted accredited capacity represents the amount of generation available to meet the requirements of MidAmerican Energy's retail customers and consists of MidAmerican Energy-owned generation, interruptible retail customer load, certain customer private generation that MidAmerican Energy is contractually allowed to dispatch and the net amount of capacity purchases and sales, excluding sales into the MISO annual capacity auction. Accredited capacity may vary significantly from the nominal capacity ratings, particularly for wind or solar facilities whose output is dependent upon energy resource availability at any given time. Additionally, the actual amount of generating capacity available at any time may be less than the accredited capacity due to regulatory restrictions, transmission constraints, fuel restrictions and generating units being temporarily out of service for inspection, maintenance, refueling, modifications or other reasons. The MISO's reserve requirements for the 2025-2026 planning year were 7.9% for summer 2025, 14.9% for fall 2025, 18.4% for winter 2025-2026 and 25.3% for spring 2026. For the summer peak demand season, MidAmerican Energy's owned and contracted capacity accredited for the 2025-2026 MISO capacity auction was 6,017 MWs compared to a peak demand obligation of 5,725 MWs. MidAmerican Energy purchased an additional 160 MWs in the MISO Planning Resource Auction to fulfill the MISO summer reserve requirements. MidAmerican Energy has more than adequate reserve margin for the fall, winter and spring peak demand seasons. Some of the excess capacity may be sold through bilateral or MISO capacity auction transactions. The reserve requirements for the 2026-2027 planning year will be 7.9% for summer 2026, 11.6% for fall 2026, 18.9% for winter 2026-2027 and 23.4% for spring 2027. MidAmerican Energy's decisions regarding additions to or reductions of its generation portfolio may be impacted by the MISO's minimum reserve margin requirements.

<u>Transmission and Distribution</u>

MidAmerican Energy's transmission and distribution systems included 4,700 circuit miles of transmission lines in four states, 25,800 circuit miles of distribution lines and 330 substations as of December 31, 2025. Electricity from MidAmerican Energy's generating facilities and purchased electricity is delivered to wholesale markets and its retail customers via the transmission facilities of MidAmerican Energy and others. MidAmerican Energy participates in the MISO capacity, energy and ancillary services markets as a transmission-owning member and, accordingly, operates its transmission assets at the direction of the MISO. The MISO manages its energy and ancillary service markets using reliability-constrained dispatch of the region's generation. For both the day-ahead and real-time (every five minutes) markets, the MISO analyzes generation commitments to provide market liquidity and transparent pricing while maintaining transmission system reliability by minimizing congestion and maximizing efficient energy transmission. Additionally, through its FERC-approved OATT, the MISO performs the role of transmission service provider throughout the MISO footprint and administers the long-term planning function. The MISO costs of the participants are shared among the participants through a number of mechanisms in accordance with the MISO tariff.

*Regulated Natural Gas Operations*

MidAmerican Energy is engaged in the distribution of natural gas to customers in its service territory and the related procurement, transportation and storage of natural gas for the benefit of those customers. MidAmerican Energy purchases natural gas from various suppliers and contracts with interstate natural gas pipelines for transportation of the gas to MidAmerican Energy's service territory and for storage and balancing services. MidAmerican Energy sells natural gas and delivery services to end-use customers on its distribution system; sells natural gas to other utilities, municipalities and energy marketing companies; and transports natural gas through its distribution system for end-use customers who have independently secured their supply of natural gas. During 2025, 58% of the total natural gas delivered through MidAmerican Energy's distribution system was associated with transportation service.

Natural gas property consists primarily of natural gas mains and service lines, meters, and related distribution equipment, including feeder lines to communities served from natural gas pipelines owned by others. The natural gas distribution facilities of MidAmerican Energy included 25,300 miles of natural gas main and service lines as of December 31, 2025.

(1)Commercial and industrial customers are classified primarily based on the nature of their business and natural gas usage. Commercial customers are non-residential customers that use natural gas principally for heating. Industrial customers are non-residential customers that use natural gas principally for their manufacturing processes.

(2)Wholesale sales are generally made to other utilities, municipalities and energy marketing companies for eventual resale to end-use customers.

There are seasonal variations in MidAmerican Energy's regulated natural gas business that are principally due to the use of natural gas for heating. Typically, 50-60% of MidAmerican Energy's regulated retail natural gas revenue is reported in the months of January, February, March and December.

During 2025, 2024 and 2023, MidAmerican Energy's peak-day delivery through its distribution system was 1,372,402, 1,309,874 and 1,119,503 Dths, respectively. On January 20, 2025, MidAmerican Energy recorded its all-time highest peak-day of 1,372,402 Dths. This peak-day delivery consisted of 66% traditional retail sales service and 34% transportation service.

<u>Natural Gas Supply and Capacity</u>

MidAmerican Energy uses several strategies designed to maintain a reliable natural gas supply and reduce the impact of volatility in natural gas prices on its regulated retail natural gas customers. These strategies include the purchase of a geographically diverse supply portfolio from producers and third-party energy marketing companies, the use of interstate pipeline storage services and MidAmerican Energy's LNG peaking facilities, and the use of financial derivatives to fix the price on a portion of the anticipated natural gas requirements of MidAmerican Energy's customers. Refer to "General Regulation" in Item 1 of this Form 10-K for a discussion of the PGAs.

MidAmerican Energy contracts for firm natural gas pipeline capacity to transport natural gas from key production areas and liquid market centers to its service territory through direct interconnects to the pipeline systems of several interstate natural gas pipeline systems, including Northern Natural Gas, an affiliate company. MidAmerican Energy has multiple pipeline interconnections into several larger markets within its distribution system. Multiple pipeline interconnections create competition among pipeline suppliers for transportation capacity to serve those markets, thus reducing costs. In addition, multiple pipeline interconnections increase delivery reliability and give MidAmerican Energy the ability to optimize delivery of the lowest cost supply from the various production areas and liquid market centers into these markets. Benefits to MidAmerican Energy's distribution system customers are shared among all jurisdictions through a consolidated PGA.

------

At times, the natural gas pipeline capacity available through MidAmerican Energy's firm capacity portfolio may exceed the requirements of retail customers on MidAmerican Energy's distribution system. Firm capacity in excess of MidAmerican Energy's system needs can be released to other companies to achieve optimum use of the available capacity. Past IUC and South Dakota Public Utilities Commission ("SDPUC") rulings have allowed MidAmerican Energy to retain 30% of the revenue on the resold capacity, with the remaining 70% being returned to customers through the PGAs.

MidAmerican Energy utilizes interstate pipeline natural gas storage services to meet retail customer requirements, manage fluctuations in demand due to changes in weather and other usage factors and manage variation in seasonal natural gas pricing. MidAmerican Energy typically withdraws natural gas from storage during the heating season when customer demand is historically at its peak and injects natural gas into storage during off-peak months when customer demand is historically lower. MidAmerican Energy also utilizes its three LNG facilities to meet peak day demands during the winter heating season. Interstate pipeline storage services and MidAmerican Energy's LNG facilities reduce dependence on natural gas purchases during the volatile winter heating season and can deliver a significant portion of MidAmerican Energy's anticipated retail sales requirements on a peak winter day. For MidAmerican Energy's 2025/2026 winter heating season preliminary peak-day of January 23, 2026, supply sources used to meet deliveries to traditional retail sales service customers included 56% from purchases delivered on interstate pipelines, 34% from interstate pipeline storage services and 10% from MidAmerican Energy's LNG facilities.

MidAmerican Energy attempts to optimize the value of its regulated transportation capacity, natural gas supply and interstate pipeline storage services by engaging in wholesale transactions. IUC and SDPUC rulings have allowed MidAmerican Energy to retain 50% of the respective jurisdictional margins earned on certain wholesale sales of natural gas, with the remaining 50% being returned to customers through the PGAs.

MidAmerican Energy is not aware of any factors that would cause material difficulties in meeting its anticipated retail customer demand under normal operating conditions for the foreseeable future.

*Energy Efficiency Programs*

MidAmerican Energy has provided a comprehensive set of DSM programs to its Iowa electric and natural gas customers since 1990. The programs, collectively referred to as energy efficiency programs, are designed to reduce energy consumption and more effectively manage when energy is used, including management of seasonal peak loads. Current programs offer services to customers such as energy engineering audits and information on how to improve the efficiency of their homes and businesses. To assist customers in investing in energy efficiency, MidAmerican Energy offers rebates or incentives encouraging the purchase and installation of high-efficiency equipment such as lighting, heating and cooling equipment, weatherization, motors, process equipment and systems, as well as incentives for efficient construction. Incentives are also paid to residential customers who participate in the air conditioner load control program and nonresidential customers who participate in the nonresidential load management program. In Iowa, legislation passed in 2018 provides that projected cumulative average annual costs for a natural gas energy efficiency plan cannot exceed 1.5% of expected Iowa natural gas retail revenue and, for an electric demand response plan and separately for an electric energy efficiency plan other than demand response, cannot exceed 2.0% of expected annual Iowa electric retail revenue. Although subject to prudence reviews, state regulations allow for contemporaneous recovery of costs incurred for energy efficiency programs through state-specific energy efficiency service charges paid by all retail electric and natural gas customers. In 2025, $53 million was expensed for MidAmerican Energy's energy efficiency programs, which resulted in estimated first-year energy savings of 232,000 MWhs of electricity and 136,000 Dths of natural gas and an estimated peak load reduction of 262 MWs of electricity and 2,014 Dths per day of natural gas.

*Human Capital*

<u>Employees</u>

As of December 31, 2025, MidAmerican Funding and MidAmerican Energy had approximately 3,600 employees, of which approximately 1,400 (39%) were covered by union contracts. MidAmerican Energy has three separate contracts with locals of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union.

Variations in weather, economic conditions, particularly for gaming, mining and wholesale customers and various conservation, energy efficiency and private generation measures and programs can impact customer energy requirements. Wholesale sales are impacted by market prices for energy relative to the incremental cost to generate power.

There are seasonal variations in the Nevada Utilities' electric business that are principally related to weather and the related use of electricity for air conditioning. Typically, 47-52% of Nevada Power's and 38-40% of Sierra Pacific's regulated electric revenue is reported in the months of June through September.

------

The annual hourly peak customer demand on the Nevada Utilities' electric systems occurs as a result of air conditioning use during the cooling season. Peak demand represents the highest demand on a given day and at a given hour. During the summer months of 2025, 2024 and 2023, customer usage of electricity caused an hourly peak demand on Nevada Power's electric system of 6,168, 6,656 and 6,311 MWs, respectively, and on Sierra Pacific's electric system of 2,073, 2,113 and 1,825 MWs, respectively.

(1) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Energy generated from renewable generating facilities mainly comprised of the solar resources related to the Dry Lake solar generating facility that was placed into service in May 2024.

(2) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All or some of the renewable energy attributes associated with generation from these sources may be: (a) used in future years to comply with RPS or other regulatory requirements, (b) sold to third parties in the form of RECs or other environmental commodities, or (c) excluded from energy purchased.

------

The Nevada Utilities are required to have resources available to continuously meet their customer needs and reliably operate their electric systems. The percentage of the Nevada Utilities' energy supplied by energy source varies from year-to-year and is subject to numerous operational and economic factors such as planned and unplanned outages; fuel commodity prices; fuel availability; fuel transportation costs; weather, including temperature, wind and sun; legislative and environmental considerations; transmission constraints; wholesale market prices of electricity and other factors. The Nevada Utilities evaluate these factors continuously in order to facilitate dispatch of their generating facilities. When factors for one energy source are less favorable, the Nevada Utilities place more reliance on other energy sources. As long as the Nevada Utilities' purchases are deemed prudent by the PUCN, through their annual prudency review, the Nevada Utilities are permitted to recover the cost of fuel and purchased power. The Nevada Utilities also have the ability to reset quarterly the BTERs, with PUCN approval, based on the last 12 months fuel costs and purchased power and to reset the quarterly DEAA.

The Nevada Utilities have adopted an approach to managing the energy supply function that has three primary elements. The first element is a set of management guidelines for procuring and optimizing the supply portfolio that is consistent with the requirements of a load serving entity with a full requirements obligation, and with the growth of private generation serving a small but growing group of customers with partial requirements. The second element is an energy risk management and control approach that ensures clear separation of roles between the day-to-day management of risks and compliance monitoring and control and ensures clear distinction between planning and execution. Lastly, the Nevada Utilities pursue a process of ongoing regulatory involvement and acknowledgment of the resource portfolio management plans.

The Nevada Utilities have entered into multiple long-term power purchase contracts (three or more years) with suppliers that generate electricity utilizing renewable resources and natural gas. Nevada Power has entered into contracts with a total capacity of 3,902 MWs with contract termination dates ranging from 2026 to 2067. Included in these contracts are 2,874 MWs of capacity from renewable energy, of which 150 MWs of capacity are owned, and 1,028 MWs of capacity are under development or construction and not currently available. Sierra Pacific has entered into contracts with a total capacity of 1,172 MWs with contract termination dates ranging from 2026 to 2053. Included in these contracts are 1,160 MWs of capacity from renewable energy, of which 215 MWs of capacity are under development or construction and not currently available.

The Nevada Utilities manage certain risks relating to their supply of electricity and fuel requirements by entering into various contracts, which may be accounted for as derivatives, including forwards, futures, options, swaps and other agreements. Refer to NV Energy's "General Regulation" section in Item 1 of this Form 10-K for a discussion of energy cost recovery by jurisdiction and Nevada Power's Item 7A and Sierra Pacific's Item 7A in this Form 10-K for a discussion of commodity price risk and derivative contracts.

*Natural Gas*

The Nevada Utilities rely on indexed physical gas purchases for the majority of natural gas needed to operate their generating facilities. To secure natural gas supplies for the generating facilities, the Nevada Utilities execute purchases pursuant to a PUCN approved four-season laddering strategy. In 2025, natural gas supply net purchases averaged 319,859 and 148,892 Dths per day with the winter period contracts averaging 302,161 and 175,031 Dths per day and the summer period contracts averaging 332,346 and 130,449 Dths per day for Nevada Power and Sierra Pacific, respectively. The Nevada Utilities believe supplies from these sources are presently adequate and available to meet its needs.

The Nevada Utilities contract for firm natural gas pipeline capacity to transport natural gas from production areas to their service territory through direct interconnects to the pipeline systems of several interstate natural gas pipeline systems, including Nevada Power who contracts with Kern River, an affiliated company. Sierra Pacific utilizes natural gas storage contracted from interstate pipelines to meet retail customer requirements and to manage the daily changes in demand due to changes in weather and other usage factors. The stored natural gas is typically replaced during off-peak months when the demand for natural gas is historically lower than during the heating season.

*Coal*

Sierra Pacific relied on spot market solicitations for coal supplies and regularly monitored the western coal market for opportunities to meet these needs. Sierra Pacific had a transportation services contract with Union Pacific Railroad Company to ship coal from various origins in central Utah, western Colorado and Wyoming that expired December 31, 2025. Sierra Pacific had a transportation services contract with BNSF, an affiliate company, to ship coal from western Montana that expired October 31, 2025. The Valmy generating facility, Sierra Pacific's remaining facility requiring coal, had an approved retirement date of December 2025. Sierra Pacific proposed in its Fifth Amendment to the 2021 Joint Integrated Resource Plan to convert the existing coal-fueled plant to a cleaner natural gas-fueled plant which was approved by the PUCN in April 2024 as delineated in the final modified order. Nevada Power has no coal requirements.

------

*Energy Imbalance Market*

The Nevada Utilities participate in the EIM operated by the California ISO, which reduces costs to serve customers through more efficient dispatch of a larger and more diverse pool of resources, more effectively integrates renewables and enhances reliability through improved situational awareness and responsiveness. The EIM expands the real-time component of the California ISO's market technology to optimize and balance electricity supply and demand every five minutes across the EIM footprint. The EIM is voluntary and available to all balancing authorities in the western U.S. EIM market participants submit bids to the California ISO market operator before each hour for each generating resource they choose to be dispatched by the market. Each bid is comprised of a dispatchable operating range, ramp rate and prices across the operating range. The California ISO market operator uses sophisticated technology to select the least-cost resources to meet demand and send simultaneous dispatch signals to every participating generator across the EIM footprint every five minutes. In addition to generation resource bids, the California ISO market operator also receives continuous real-time updates of the transmission grid network, meteorological and load forecast information that it uses to optimize dispatch instructions. The EIM delivers customer benefits by leveraging automation and resource diversity to result in more efficient dispatch, more effective integration of renewables and improved situational awareness. Benefits are expected to increase further with renewable resource expansion and as more entities join the EIM bringing incremental diversity.

<u>Transmission and Distribution</u>

The Nevada Utilities' transmission system is part of the Western Interconnection, a regional grid in the U.S. The Western Interconnection includes the interconnected transmission systems of 14 western states, two Canadian provinces and parts of Mexico. The Nevada Utilities' transmission system, together with contractual rights on other transmission systems, enables the Nevada Utilities to integrate and access generation resources to meet their customer load requirements. Nevada Power's transmission and distribution systems included approximately 1,700 miles of transmission lines, 14,800 miles of distribution lines and 220 substations as of December 31, 2025. Sierra Pacific's transmission and distribution systems included approximately 4,300 miles of transmission lines, 9,600 miles of distribution lines and 200 substations as of December 31, 2025.

ON Line is a 231-mile, 500-kV transmission line connecting Nevada Power's and Sierra Pacific's service territories. ON Line provides the ability to jointly dispatch energy throughout Nevada and provide access to renewable energy resources in parts of northern and eastern Nevada, which enhances the Nevada Utilities' ability to manage and optimize their generating facilities. ON Line provides between 600 MWs northbound and 900 MWs southbound of transfer capability with interconnection between the Robinson Summit substation on the Sierra Pacific system and the Harry Allen substation on the Nevada Power system. ON Line was a joint project between the Nevada Utilities and Great Basin Transmission, LLC. The Nevada Utilities own a 25% interest in ON Line and have entered into a long-term transmission use agreement with Great Basin Transmission, LLC for its 75% interest in ON Line until 2054. The Nevada Utilities share of its 25% interest in ON Line and the long-term transmission use agreement is split 75% for Nevada Power and 25% for Sierra Pacific.

The PUCN has approved the Nevada Utilities' Greenlink Nevada transmission expansion program, with an estimated cost of approximately $4.2 billion, which builds a foundation for the Nevada Utilities to accommodate existing and future transmission network customers, increase transmission system reliability, create access to diversified resources and facilitate development of conventional generation. The Greenlink program consists of a 350-mile, 525-kV transmission line, known as Greenlink West, connecting the Walker River substation, near Yerington, Nevada to the Northwest substation, near Las Vegas, Nevada to the Harry Allen substation, near Las Vegas, Nevada; a 235-mile, 525-kV transmission line, known as Greenlink North, connecting the new Walker River substation, near Yerington, Nevada to the Robinson Summit substation, near Ely, Nevada; and various interconnections, known as Greenlink Common Ties that primarily include a 46-mile, 345-kV transmission line from the new Walker River substation, near Yerington, Nevada to the Mira Loma substations, near Yerington, Nevada; and a 38-mile, 345-kV transmission line from the new Walker River substation, near Yerington, Nevada to the Comstock Meadows substations, near Reno, Nevada. The Greenlink program will be constructed in stages that are estimated to be placed in-service between May 2027 and December 2028. The Nevada Utilities will jointly own and operate the Greenlink transmission lines with Nevada Power having a 70% ownership share in Greenlink West and North and Sierra Pacific having a 30% ownership share. Sierra Pacific will have a 100% ownership share in the Greenlink Common Ties. Through December 31, 2025, $1.2 billion had been spent.

------

<u>Wildfire Prevention</u>

The Nevada Utilities have developed detailed natural disaster protection plans for its service territory and areas in which it owns and operates assets. Natural disaster protection plans are filed with the PUCN on or before March 1 of every third year with annual updates to be filed on or before September 1 of the second and third years of the plan. These plans include capital investment in asset hardening and meteorological systems, the implementation of risk modeling tools and the Nevada Utilities' ongoing enhanced safety settings, inspections, vegetation management, enhancement to situational awareness to include implementation of wildfire alert cameras and weather stations in extreme fire-risk areas. In addition, NV Energy has an active power shutoff program referred to as public safety outage management ("PSOM") as well as an emergency de-energization policy in response to active wildfires encroaching the company's infrastructure.

*Asset Hardening*

The Nevada Utilities have and continue to invest in rebuilding overhead transmission and distribution lines with covered conductor and fire mesh and in some cases have converted overhead distribution lines to underground. These system hardening efforts reduce the exposure of the Nevada Utilities' lines to interference from trees and other objects. Covered conductor helps mitigate the risk of fault-caused electrical arcs that could cause an ignition. Overall, mitigated overhead lines help reduce ignition risk and improve reliability during storms or periods of significant wildfire risk.

The Nevada Utilities compiled an assessment of heightened threat areas ("HTAs") for wildfires that are presented as different tiers to characterize wildfire risk and potential catastrophic wildfire risk. The different tiers that the Nevada Utilities use to categorize their HTAs are Tier 1, Tier1E - Elevated ("Tier 1E"), Tier 2 (high) and Tier 3 (extreme).

Approximately 2,720 miles, or 9%, of the Nevada Utilities' transmission and distribution lines are in Tier 1E, Tier 2 and Tier 3 HTAs, covering approximately 6% of its service territory and approximately 0.2% of its customer base.

As of December 31, 2025, the 2,720 miles of transmission and distribution lines in Tier 1E, Tier 2 and Tier 3 HTAs were as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 1,930 miles, or 71%, with bare conductor miles, a portion of which in Tier 3 is fully mitigated by system relay fast trip protection schemes that are expanding into Tiers 2 and 1E with estimated completion by the end of 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 20 miles, or 1%, with new covered conductor miles; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 770 miles, or 28%, with underground miles.

The on-going asset hardening of the HTAs is a priority for the Nevada Utilities and a key part of the developed natural disaster protection plans.

Refer to "Future Uses of Cash" in Item 7 of this Form 10-K for further discussion of the Nevada Utilities' natural disaster protection plan related capital expenditures, including asset hardening.

*Enhanced Safety Settings*

Enhanced safety settings are available across the HTAs in the Nevada Utilities' service territory. Upon declaration of wildfire season, the Nevada Utilities place all Tier 3 circuits and certain Tier 2 and Tier 1E circuits into seasonal fire mode with no circuit reclosing which reduces the potential for sparking on multiple reclosing events when faults occur. Additionally, Fast Trip Fire Mode is an instantaneous lockout setting available at most HTA substations that is enabled when certain fire danger conditions are present to provide an enhanced level of protection to limit the potential for wildfire ignition.

*Meteorology and Risk Modeling*

The Nevada Utilities have installed 65 weather stations that monitor weather conditions and model the impact to the electrical infrastructure. These weather stations combined with the Nevada Utilities' dedicated two full-time meteorologists provide the Nevada Utilities with the ability to forecast weather and fire risk impact data twice daily. The Nevada Utilities will continue to install additional weather stations to refine weather modeling in areas where geographic terrain conditions require a dense network of weather stations in order to provide the necessary granular data. The Nevada Utilities have also installed 25 fire cameras equipped with artificial intelligence that provide around-the-clock monitoring and alerts of new fire starts.

------

*Asset Inspection Program*

Within the identified HTAs, the Nevada Utilities conduct an annual inspection of overhead facilities with an accelerated correction timeline for any conditions noted. A detailed inspection of facilities located in HTAs is conducted every three to 10 years based on the identified risk level.

*Vegetation Management*

The Nevada Utilities follow industry best management practices, internal protocols and the standards outlined in the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code. The Nevada Utilities' vegetation management program consists of prioritized patrols and inspections, prescribed tree pruning and removal and strategic ground clearing of equipment poles and right-of -way ground fuels reduction in all HTAs. The Nevada Utilities collaborate with state and federal agencies along with private property owners where vegetation clearing creates rights-of-way that deters fire spread.

*Public Safety Outage Management and Wildfire Encroachment Policy*

A PSOM is used as a preventative measure prior to extreme fire weather conditions that may pose threats to the public, customers, infrastructure or the environment where the electrical network is de-energized proactively under certain conditions. This program includes areas of wildfire risk system-wide where proactive de-energization zones are identified. In determining whether to initiate a PSOM, the Nevada Utilities evaluate conditions that may create an unacceptable level of risk of electric infrastructure being damaged and causing an ignition using data from meteorological systems and forecasting tools. During 2025, the Nevada Utilities continued to actively utilize the PSOM program to address extreme-risk weather conditions. PSOM is an increasingly common practice for utilities to use as part of wildfire prevention. The Nevada Utilities' also have an emergency de-energization policy under which it will de-energize its lines when a known wildfire that is unpredictable and uncontrollable is within a specified distance of its assets.

<u>Future Generation, Conservation and Energy Efficiency</u>

*Energy Supply Planning*

Within the energy supply planning process, there are four key components covering different time frames:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• IRPs are filed by the Nevada Utilities for approval by the PUCN every three years and the Nevada Utilities may, as necessary, file amendments to their IRPs. IRPs are prepared in compliance with Nevada laws and regulations and cover a 20-year period. Nevada law governing the IRP process was modified in 2017 and now requires joint filings by Nevada Power and Sierra Pacific. IRPs develop a comprehensive, integrated plan that considers customer energy requirements and propose the resources to meet those requirements in a manner that is consistent with prevailing market fundamentals. The ultimate goal of the IRPs is to balance the objectives of minimizing costs and reducing volatility while reliably meeting the electric needs of the Nevada Utilities' customers. Costs incurred to complete projects approved through the IRP process still remain subject to review for reasonableness by the PUCN.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Energy Supply Plans ("ESP") are filed with the PUCN for approval and operate in conjunction with the PUCN-approved 20-year IRP. The ESP has a one- to three-year planning horizon and is an intermediate-term resource procurement and risk management plan that establishes the supply portfolio strategies within which intermediate-term resource requirements will be met with PUCN approval required for executing contracts of longer than three years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Distributed Resource Plans ("DRP") are filed with the PUCN for approval and operate in conjunction with the PUCN-approved 20-year IRP. The DRP establishes a formal process to aid in the cost-effective integration of distributed resources into the Nevada Utilities' distribution and transmission process and ultimately the NV Energy utilities' electricity grid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Action plans are filed with the PUCN for approval and operate in conjunction with the PUCN-approved 20-year IRP and PUCN-approved ESP. The action plan establishes tactical execution activities with a three-year focus.

------

In August 2023, the Nevada Utilities filed its Joint Application for approval of the Fifth Amendment to the 2021 Joint Integrated Resource Plan. The Fifth Amendment sought, in part (1) to convert the existing coal-fueled generating facility at North Valmy Generating Station to a cleaner natural gas-fueled generating facility (2) to purchase, install, and operate a company-owned 400 MW solar plant along with a 400 MW, four-hour battery storage system in Northern Nevada; (3) to continue operation of Tracy units 4 and 5 to 2049; (4) to purchase development assets for the 149 MW photovoltaic and 149 MW battery energy storage system Crescent Valley Solar project; (5) to construct the Esmeralda and Sagebrush substations transformers; and (6) to construct the necessary infrastructure in the APEX Area Master Plan. The Nevada Utilities sought approval of approximately $1.8 billion in total costs of new projects. An order was issued in March 2024 in which the Nevada Utilities filed a motion for clarification and petition for reconsideration. In April 2024, a modified final order was issued, which granted in part and denied in part including the denial of the 149 MW photovoltaic and 149 MW battery energy storage system Crescent Valley Solar project as delineated in the final modified order.

In May 2024, the Nevada Utilities filed its joint Application for approval of the 2024 Joint Integrated Resources Plan. The 2024 joint Application sought, in part (1) the addition of three power purchase agreements for solar generating resources totaling more than 1,000 MW, each with co-located battery storage systems; (2) the addition of 400 MW of company-owned hydrogen-capable natural gas simple cycle combustion turbine peakers at the North Valmy generation station; (3) to approve an update of the Greenlink Nevada Transmission project costs; and (4) to construct the necessary transmission infrastructure to support growing customer demand. In December 2024, the PUCN largely accepted the filing as filed but denied opining on the additional costs associated with the Greenlink Nevada project as all costs expended to construct the previously approved Greenlink Nevada project are subject to a prudency review in the GRC as delineated in the final 2024 Joint Integrated Resource Plan order.

In October 2025, the Nevada Utilities submitted a Joint Application for approval of the First Amendment to the 2024 Joint Integrated Resource Plan. The First Amendment seeks approval to enter into a 20-year power purchase agreement with the developer for an additional 150-MW battery energy storage system that will reduce the Nevada Utilities' open position beginning in the summer of 2027. The battery energy storage system will be co-located with existing Dodge Flat solar and battery facility in Washoe County, Nevada. In January 2026, the Nevada Utilities filed a stipulation with the PUCN that reflected a settlement among participating parties and largely accepted the First Amendment as filed, including approval of the 150-MW battery energy storage system power purchase agreement. A final order approving the stipulation was received in February 2026.

*Energy Efficiency Programs*

The Nevada Utilities have provided a comprehensive set of DSM programs which include energy efficiency, demand response, and conservation programs to their Nevada electric customers. The programs are designed to reduce energy consumption and more effectively manage when energy is used, including management of seasonal peak loads. Current programs offer services to customers such as energy audits and customer education and awareness efforts that provide information on how to improve the efficiency of their homes and businesses. To assist customers in investing in energy efficiency, the Nevada Utilities have offered rebates or incentives encouraging the purchase and installation of high-efficiency equipment such as lighting, heating and cooling equipment, electric water heating, weatherization, motors, process equipment and systems, as well as incentives for efficient construction. Incentives are also paid to residential customers who participate in the air conditioner load control program and nonresidential customers who participate in the smart thermostat and energy storage demand response program and nonresidential load management program. Energy efficiency program costs are recovered through annual rates set by the PUCN and adjusted based on the Nevada Utilities' annual filing to recover current program costs and any over or under collections from the prior filing, subject to prudence review. During 2025, Nevada Power spent $43 million on energy efficiency programs, resulting in an estimated 206,435 MWhs of electric energy savings and an estimated 157 MWs of electric peak load management. During 2025, Sierra Pacific spent $14 million on energy efficiency programs, resulting in an estimated 56,219 MWhs of electric energy savings and an estimated 31 MWs of electric peak load management.

*Regulated Natural Gas Operations*

Sierra Pacific is engaged in the distribution of natural gas to customers in its service territory and the related procurement, transportation and storage of natural gas for the benefit of those customers. Sierra Pacific purchases natural gas from various suppliers and contracts with interstate natural gas pipelines for transportation of the natural gas from the production areas to Sierra Pacific's service territory and for storage services to manage fluctuations in system demand and seasonal pricing. Sierra Pacific sells natural gas and delivery services to end-use customers on its distribution system; sells natural gas to other utilities, municipalities and energy marketing companies; and transports natural gas through its distribution system for a number of end-use customers who have independently secured their supply of natural gas. During 2025, 7% of the total natural gas delivered through Sierra Pacific's distribution system was for transportation service.

------

Natural gas property consists primarily of natural gas mains and service lines, meters, and related distribution equipment, including feeder lines to communities served from natural gas pipelines owned by others. The natural gas distribution facilities of Sierra Pacific included 3,700 miles of natural gas mains and service lines as of December 31, 2025.

Sierra Pacific specifically provided a Demand-Side Management "DSM" Gas Energy Education Program that delivers information, educational tools, tips, and personalized recommendations for gas customers who want to learn about their usage behavior and ways they can improve their energy efficiency practices. The Program utilizes engagement, outreach, and education as pathways to inform customers about access and use of energy. During 2025, Sierra Pacific spent $0.3 million on the DSM Gas Energy Education Program, resulting in an estimated 476,400 Dths in deemed therm savings. Sierra bases its estimated 2025 deemed therm savings on previously verified gas savings reported by Measurement and Verification reports from 2019. A deemed savings approach involves using stipulated savings for energy conservation measures for which savings values are well known and documented. Deemed savings are estimates of natural gas savings based on the actual reported savings for a similar program measure or action from previous years.

In October 2025, Sierra Pacific filed its 2025 Natural Gas Triennial Integrated Resource Plan (the "2025 NGIRP") with the PUCN, covering the 2026 through 2028 action plan period. The filling seeks approval of forecasted natural gas demand, ten significant operational and capital projects, the 2025 DSM Plan, and related findings regarding the reasonableness of the forecast methodology, projected demand, cost-effectiveness of proposed investments, resource mix, greenhouse gas considerations, and impacts on low-income and historically underserved communities. The application also requests authorization to establish a regulatory asset account to record costs associated with a proposed Plexco Service Tee Cap Replacement Program addressing premature failures of certain service tee caps installed between 1990 and 1996, with recovery of amounts recorded in the regulatory asset account to be sought in a future general rate case. In January 2026, Sierra Pacific filed a stipulation with the PUCN that reflected a settlement among participating parties and largely accepted the NGIRP as filed with removal of the requested regulatory asset account to record costs associated with the Plexco Service Tee CAP Replacement Program. A final order approving the stipulation was received in February 2026.

<u>Customer Usage and Seasonality</u>

The percentages of natural gas sold to Sierra Pacific's retail and wholesale customers by class of customer, total Dths of natural gas sold, total Dths of transportation service and the average number of retail customers for the years ended December 31 were as follows:

(1)Commercial and industrial customers are classified primarily based on the nature of their business and natural gas usage. Commercial customers are non-residential customers with monthly gas usage less than 12,000 therms during five consecutive winter months. Industrial customers are non-residential customers that use natural gas in excess of 12,000 therms during one or more winter months.

(2)Wholesale sales are generally made to other utilities, municipalities and energy marketing companies for eventual resale to end-use customers.

------

There are seasonal variations in Sierra Pacific's regulated natural gas business that are principally due to the use of natural gas for heating. Typically, 47-58% of Sierra Pacific's regulated natural gas revenue is reported in the months of December through March.

During the winter months of 2025, 2024 and 2023, Sierra Pacific's peak-day natural gas delivery through its gas distribution system was 151,018, 140,157 and 160,974 Dths, respectively.

<u>Fuel Supply and Capacity</u>

The purchase of natural gas for Sierra Pacific's regulated natural gas operations is done in combination with the purchase of natural gas for Sierra Pacific's regulated electric operations. In response to energy supply challenges, Sierra Pacific has adopted an approach to managing the energy supply function that has three primary elements, as discussed earlier under Generating Facilities and Fuel Supply. Similar to Sierra Pacific's regulated electric operations, as long as Sierra Pacific's purchases of natural gas are deemed prudent by the PUCN, through its annual prudency review, Sierra Pacific is permitted to recover the cost of natural gas. Sierra Pacific also has the ability, with PUCN approval, to reset quarterly the BTERs, based on the last 12 months fuel costs, and to reset quarterly DEAA.

**<u>NORTHERN POWERGRID</u>** 

Northern Powergrid, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BHE, is a holding company with investments in two companies that distribute electricity in Great Britain, Northern Powergrid (Northeast) plc and Northern Powergrid (Yorkshire) plc. In addition to the Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies, Northern Powergrid also has investments in a meter asset rental business that leases meters to energy suppliers in the United Kingdom, an engineering contracting business that provides electrical infrastructure contracting services primarily to third parties, an upstream gas exploration and production business that is focused on developing integrated projects in Europe and Australia and two solar generation facilities in Australia having a total net owned capacity of 260 MWs.

The Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies serve 4.0 million end-users and operate in the north-east of England from North Northumberland through Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Yorkshire to North Lincolnshire, an area covering 10,000 square miles. The principal function of the Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies is to build, maintain and operate the electricity distribution network through which the end-user receives a supply of electricity.

The Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies receive electricity from the national grid transmission system and from generators that are directly connected to the distribution network and distribute it to end-users' premises using their networks of transformers, switchgear and distribution lines and cables. Substantially all of the end-users in the Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies' distribution service areas are directly or indirectly connected to the Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies' networks and electricity can only be delivered to these end-users through their distribution systems, thus providing the Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies with distribution volumes that are relatively stable from year to year. The Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies charge fees for the use of their distribution systems to the suppliers of electricity.

------

The suppliers purchase electricity from generators, sell the electricity to end-user customers and use the Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies' distribution networks pursuant to an industry standard "Distribution Connection and Use of System Agreement." During 2025, E.ON and certain of its affiliates, British Gas Trading Limited and Octopus Energy Group Limited represented 16%, 15% and 12%, respectively, of the total combined distribution revenue of the Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies. Variations in demand from end-users can affect the revenues that are received by the Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies in any year, but such variations have no effect on the total revenue that the Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies are allowed to recover in a price control period. Under- or over-recoveries against price-controlled revenues are carried forward into prices for future years.

The Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies' combined service territory features a diverse economy with no dominant sector. The mix of rural, agricultural, urban and industrial areas covers a broad customer base ranging from domestic usage through farming and retail to major industry including automotives, chemicals, mining, steelmaking and offshore marine construction. The industry within the area is concentrated around the principal centers of Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Sheffield and Leeds.

The price-controlled revenue of the Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies is set out in the special conditions of the licenses of those companies. The licenses are enforced by the regulator, GEMA, through Ofgem, and limit increases to allowed revenues (or may require decreases) based upon the rate of inflation, other specified factors and other regulatory action. The current electricity distribution price control became effective April 1, 2023 and will continue through March 31, 2028.

GWhs and percentages of electricity distributed to the Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies' end-users and the total number of end-users as of and for the years ended December 31 were as follows:

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2025** | **2024** | **2024** | **2023** | **2023** |

As of December 31, 2025, the combined electricity distribution network of the Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies included approximately 17,000 miles of overhead lines, 44,700 miles of underground cables and 860 major substations.

**<u>BHE PIPELINE GROUP (EASTERN ENERGY GAS AND EGTS)</u>**

The BHE Pipeline Group consists of BHE GT&S, Northern Natural Gas and Kern River, each an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BHE. The BHE Pipeline Group operates approximately 20,900 miles of pipeline with a design capacity of approximately 21.6 Bcf of natural gas per day, transported approximately 15% of the total natural gas consumed in the U.S. during 2025 and owns assets in 27 states. The BHE Pipeline Group also operates 22 natural gas storage facilities with a total working gas capacity of 515.6 Bcf and an LNG export, import and storage facility. BHE Pipeline Group, LLC's operations also include a company specializing in environmentally clean, low-emission, large-horsepower contract compression services. As of December 31, 2025, the BHE Pipeline Group had approximately 2,800 employees, consisting of approximately 2,300 natural gas operations employees and 500 corporate services employees.

The Pipeline Companies compete with other pipelines on the basis of cost, flexibility, reliability of service and overall customer service, with the customer's decision being made primarily on the basis of delivered price, which includes both the natural gas commodity cost and transmission costs. The Pipeline Companies also compete with midstream operators and gas marketers seeking to provide or arrange transmission, storage and other services to meet customer needs. Natural gas competes with alternative energy sources, including coal, nuclear energy, wind, geothermal, solar and fuel oil and the electricity generated from these alternative energy sources. The Pipeline Companies generate a substantial portion of their revenue from long-term firm contracts for transmission and storage services and are therefore insulated from competitive factors during the terms of the contracts. When these long-term contracts expire, the Pipeline Companies face competitive pressures from other natural gas pipeline facilities.

------

Subject to regulatory requirements, the Pipeline Companies attempt to recontract or remarket capacity at the maximum rates allowed under their tariffs, although at times the Pipeline Companies discount these rates to remain competitive. Historically, the Pipeline Companies have been able to provide competitively priced services because of access to a variety of relatively low cost supply basins, cost control measures and the relatively high level of firm entitlement that is sold on a seasonal and annual basis, which lowers the per unit cost of transmission. To date, the Pipeline Companies have avoided significant pipeline system bypasses.

*BHE GT&S*

BHE GT&S' operations, through its investment in Eastern Energy Gas, includes three interstate natural gas pipeline systems, one of the nation's largest underground natural gas storage systems and one LNG export, import and storage facility. BHE GT&S' operations also include smaller LNG facilities and natural gas liquid gathering and processing facilities.

Eastern Energy Gas' principal wholly owned subsidiaries are EGTS and CGT. EGTS' operations include natural gas transmission system 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. CGT's operations include an interstate natural gas transmission system located in South Carolina and Georgia. Eastern Energy Gas also holds a 50% equity interest in Iroquois. Iroquois owns and operates an interstate natural gas transmission system located in the states of New York and Connecticut.

Eastern Energy Gas' LNG operations involve the export, import and storage of LNG at the Cove Point LNG Facility that is owned by Cove Point, located in Maryland, as well as the transmission of regasified LNG to the interstate pipeline grid and mid-Atlantic markets and the liquefaction of natural gas for export as LNG. Cove Point's LNG Facility has an operational peak regasification daily send-out capacity of approximately 1.8 million Dths and an aggregate LNG storage capacity of approximately 14.6 billions of cubic feet equivalent ("Bcfe"). In addition, Cove Point has a small liquefier that has the potential to produce approximately 15,000 Dth/day. The Liquefaction Facility consists of one LNG train with a nameplate outlet capacity of 5.25 million tonnes per annum ("Mtpa"). Cove Point has authorization from the DOE to export up to 0.77 Bcfe/day (approximately 5.75 Mtpa) should the Liquefaction Facility perform better than expected. Cove Point's 36-inch diameter underground interstate natural gas pipelines are approximately 139 miles, with interconnections to Transcontinental Gas Pipeline, LLC in Fairfax County, Virginia, and with Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC and EGTS in Loudoun County, Virginia. Eastern Energy Gas operates, as the general partner, and holds 75% of the limited partner interests in the Cove Point export, import and storage facility. BHE GT&S also operates and has interests in three smaller LNG facilities in Alabama, Florida and Pennsylvania.

In total, Eastern Energy Gas operates approximately 5,400 miles of natural gas transmission, gathering and storage pipelines, of which approximately 5,200 miles are owned by Eastern Energy Gas, with a design capacity of 12.9 Bcf per day as well as approximately 100 miles of natural gas liquids pipelines operated by BHE GT&S. EGTS operates approximately 3,900 miles of natural gas transmission and storage pipelines with a design capacity of 10.1 Bcf per day. EGTS also operates 17 underground storage fields with a total working gas capacity of approximately 420 Bcf, of which approximately 307 Bcf relates to natural gas storage field capacity that EGTS owns. BHE GT&S' pipeline system is configured with approximately 370 active receipt and delivery points. In 2025, BHE GT&S delivered over 2.3 trillion cubic feet ("Tcf") of natural gas to its customers. BHE GT&S also operates two natural gas liquid gathering and processing facilities in West Virginia.

BHE GT&S' natural gas transmission and storage earnings primarily result from rates established by FERC. Revenues derived from BHE GT&S' pipeline operations are primarily from reservation charges for firm transmission and storage services as provided for in their FERC-approved tariffs. Reservation charges are required to be paid regardless of volumes transported or stored. The profitability of these businesses is dependent on their ability, through the rates they are permitted to charge, to recover costs and earn a reasonable return on their capital investments. As of December 31, 2025, 86% of Eastern Energy Gas' transmission capacity is subscribed, including 78% under long-term contracts and 8% on a year-to-year basis, and 100% of EGTS' storage capacity is subscribed, including 99% under long-term contracts. As of December 31, 2025, the weighted average remaining contract term for Eastern Energy Gas' and EGTS' firm transmission contracts is six years and five years, respectively, and EGTS' storage contracts is three years. Additionally, BHE GT&S receives revenue from firm fee-based contractual arrangements, including negotiated rates, for certain pipeline transmission and LNG storage and terminal services. Variability in BHE GT&S' earnings results from changes in operating and maintenance expenditures, as well as changes in rates and the demand for services, which are dependent on weather, changes in commodity prices and the economy.

Many of Northern Natural Gas' LDC customers are part of combined utilities that also use natural gas as a fuel source for electric generation. Northern Natural Gas delivered over 1.4 Tcf of natural gas to its customers in 2025.

------

Northern Natural Gas' transmission rates and most of its storage rates are cost-based. These rates are designed to provide Northern Natural Gas with an opportunity to recover its costs of providing services and earn a reasonable return on its investments. Substantially all of Northern Natural Gas' Market Area transmission revenue is generated from reservation charges, with the balance from usage charges. Most of Northern Natural Gas' transmission capacity in the Market Area is committed to customers under firm transmission contracts, where customers pay Northern Natural Gas a monthly reservation charge for the right to transport natural gas through Northern Natural Gas' system. Reservation charges are required to be paid regardless of volumes transported or stored. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 64% of Northern Natural Gas' customers' entitlement in the Market Area have terms beyond 2027 and approximately 38% beyond 2029. As of December 31, 2025, the weighted average remaining contract term for Northern Natural Gas' Market Area firm transmission contracts is five years. Northern Natural Gas' Field Area customers consist primarily of energy marketing companies, midstream companies and power generators that are connected to Northern Natural Gas' system in Texas and New Mexico that are contracted on a long-term basis with a weighted average remaining contract term of five years. Northern Natural Gas' storage services are provided through the operation of one underground natural gas storage field in Iowa and two underground natural gas storage facilities in Kansas.

---

Except for quantities of natural gas owned and managed for operational and system balancing purposes, Northern Natural Gas does not own the natural gas that is transported through its system. The sale of natural gas for operational and system balancing purposes accounts for the majority of the remaining operating revenue.

During 2025, Northern Natural Gas had two customers that each accounted for greater than 10% of its transmission and storage revenue and its 10 largest customers accounted for 60% of its system-wide transmission and storage revenue. Northern Natural Gas has agreements with terms through 2027 and 2034 to retain the majority of its two largest customers' volumes. The loss of either of these significant customers, if not replaced, could have a material adverse effect on Northern Natural Gas.

*Kern River*

Kern River owns an interstate natural gas pipeline system that extends from supply areas in the Rocky Mountains to consuming markets in Utah, Nevada and California. Kern River's pipeline system consists of 1,700 miles of natural gas pipelines, including 1,400 miles of mainline section and 300 miles of common facilities, with a year-round design capacity of 2,166,575 Dths, or 2.2 Bcf, per day. Additional seasonal design capacity (Bell-Curve) is contracted in all months except July, August and September. Kern River owns the entire mainline section, which extends from the system's point of origination near Opal, Wyoming, through the Central Rocky Mountains to Daggett, California. The mainline section consists of 1,300 miles of primarily 36-inch diameter pipeline and 100 miles of various laterals that connect to the mainline. The common facilities are jointly owned by Kern River and Mojave Pipeline Company as tenants-in-common and are operated by Mojave Pipeline Operating Company.

------

Kern River's rates are designed to provide Kern River with an opportunity to recover its costs of providing services and earn a reasonable return on its investments and are based on a levelized rate design that assumes recovery of 70% of the original investment during the initial long-term contracts ("Period One rates"). After expiration of the initial term, eligible customers have the option to elect service at rates ("Period Two rates") that are lower than Period One rates because they are designed to recover the remaining 30% of the original investment. To the extent that eligible customers do not contract for service at Period Two rates, the volumes are turned back to Kern River, and it resells capacity at market rates for varying terms. As of December 31, 2025, Kern River's design capacity, including seasonal Bell-Curve, totaled 2,345,381 Dths per day and approximately 95% is contracted pursuant to long-term firm natural gas transmission service agreements, whereby Kern River receives natural gas on behalf of customers at designated receipt points and transports the natural gas on a firm basis to designated delivery points. In return for this service, each customer pays Kern River a fixed monthly reservation fee based on each customer's maximum daily quantity, which represents nearly 94% of total operating revenue, and a commodity charge based on the actual amount of natural gas transported pursuant to its long-term firm natural gas transmission service agreements and Kern River's tariff. These long-term firm natural gas transmission service agreements expire between February 2026 and December 2045 and have a weighted-average remaining contract term of approximately six years. As of December 31, 2025, 67% of the year-round design capacity of 2,166,575 Dths under firm contract has primary delivery points in California, with the flexibility to access secondary delivery points in Nevada and Utah.

Kern River primarily transports natural gas for utilities, municipalities, energy marketing companies, electric generating companies and other industrial and commercial users. Except for quantities of natural gas owned for operational purposes, Kern River does not own the natural gas that is transported through its system. Kern River's transmission rates are cost-based.

During 2025, Kern River had two customers, including Nevada Power Company, an affiliated company, that each accounted for greater than 10% of its revenue. The loss of these significant customers, if not replaced, could have a material adverse effect on Kern River.

**<u>BHE TRANSMISSION</u>**

BHE Transmission consists of BHE Canada, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BHE, BHE U.S. Transmission, a wholly owned subsidiary of BHE, interests in generating facilities and 300 MWs of long-term northbound transmission rights on the Montana Alberta Tie Line (commencing April 30, 2026). BHE Canada and BHE U.S. Transmission together own and operate the Montana Alberta Tie Line, which is a 214-mile, 230-kV transmission line that runs from Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, to Great Falls, Montana, U.S., and connects power grids in the two jurisdictions. BHE Canada also owns AlbertaEx, a cross-border operations center to optimize in real-time the value of BHE Transmission's existing physical generation assets on the Montana Alberta Tie Line. Operations for AlbertaEx commenced in January 2025.

*AltaLink*

BHE Canada primarily consists of AltaLink, a regulated electric transmission utility company headquartered in Alberta, Canada, serving approximately 85% of Alberta's population. AltaLink's high voltage transmission lines and related facilities transmit electricity from generating facilities to major load centers, cities and large industrial plants throughout its 87,000 square mile service territory, which covers a diverse geographic area including most major urban centers in central and southern Alberta. AltaLink's transmission facilities, consisting of approximately 8,300 miles of transmission lines and approximately 310 substations as of December 31, 2025, are an integral part of the Alberta Interconnected Electric System ("AIES").

The AIES is a network or grid of transmission facilities operating at high voltages ranging from 69 kV to 500 kV. The grid delivers electricity from generating units across Alberta, Canada, through approximately 16,000 miles of transmission lines. The AIES is interconnected to British Columbia's transmission system and to Montana's transmission system that link Alberta with the North American western interconnected system. The AIES is also interconnected with Saskatchewan's transmission system that links Alberta with the North American eastern interconnection.

AltaLink is a transmission facility owner within the electricity industry in Alberta and is permitted to charge a tariff rate for the use of its transmission facilities. Such tariff rates are established on a cost-of-service regulatory model, which is designed to allow AltaLink an opportunity to recover its costs of providing services and to earn a reasonable return on its investments. Transmission tariff rates are approved by the AUC and are collected from the AESO.

------

The electricity industry in Alberta consists of four principal segments. Generators sell wholesale power into the power pool operated by the AESO and through direct contractual arrangements. Alberta's transmission system or grid is composed of high voltage power lines and related facilities that transmit electricity from generating facilities to distribution networks and directly connected end-users. Distribution facility owners are regulated by the AUC and are responsible for arranging for, or providing, regulated rate and regulated default supply services to convey electricity from transmission systems and distribution-connected generators to end-use customers. Retailers can procure energy through the power pool, through direct contractual arrangements with energy suppliers or ownership of generation facilities and arrange for its distribution to end-use customers.

The AESO mandate, defined in the *Electric Utilities Act* (Alberta) and its regulations, requires the AESO to assess both current and future needs of the AIES. In January 2025, the AESO released its 2025 Long-Term Transmission Plan ("LTP"). The LTP identifies three areas of planning: load growth, generation growth and intertie development. The LTP was developed under Alberta's current zero-congestion policy and acknowledges that the current workstream to develop and implement the AESO's Optimal Transmission Planning ("OTP") Framework will impact generation growth driven transmission projects. The OTP Framework seeks to optimize the use of the existing transmission system while planning the development of new transmission; altogether it ensures a safe and reliable electricity system that enables a fair, efficient, and openly competitive electricity market. The OTP Framework is not anticipated to impact transmission system projects driven by load growth and by intertie development. The LTP identifies approximately C$2.1 billion of generation driven projects and C$150 million of intertie driven projects in AltaLink's service territory.

In May 2024, the AESO released its 2024 Long-Term Outlook. The reference case was consistent with the Government of Alberta's target to achieve decarbonization by 2050. The alternatives focused on the following three scenarios:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Decarbonization by 2035: a scenario which assumes a linear decline in emissions from 2030 to 2035 based on federal Clean Electricity Regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Alternative Decarbonization: a scenario which explores the effect of increasing intertie connections in 2035 and anticipates technological cost declines as well as delays in development of carbon capture, utilization and storage, nuclear small modular reactors and hydrogen; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• High Electrification: a scenario which anticipates higher load growth from increased electric vehicles, electrification of building heating and cooling as well as additional industrial load due to electrification and carbon capture, utilization and storage adoption.

The scenarios allowed the AESO to consider possible future states of the Alberta market.

<u>Wildfire Prevention</u>

AltaLink has developed and implemented detailed wildfire mitigation plans ("WMPs") for its service territory since 2019. AltaLink submits these plans to the AUC for approval as part of its General Tariff Application ("GTA") process. AltaLink received approval for its wildfire mitigation plan in the 2019-2021, 2022-2023, and 2024-2025 GTA periods. AltaLink's 2026-2027 WMP is currently under review by the AUC in the regulatory approval process for AltaLink's 2026-2027 GTA. In the 2026-2027 WMP, AltaLink introduced a new Wildfire Risk Model that responds to the AUC's directives from the 2024-2025 GTA decision. The Wildfire Risk Model attempts to quantify wildfire risk and estimate net benefits from wildfire risk mitigation measures. AltaLink's 2026-2027 WMP includes improvements in situational awareness, meteorological systems, and risk modeling; investments in asset hardening and vegetation management; and AltaLink's ongoing elevated wildfire risk operating practices and policies, which include inspections, recloser blocking procedures, wildfire encroachment procedures, and public safety power shutoff ("PSPS") procedures.

*Asset Hardening and Vegetation Management*

AltaLink developed a new Wildfire Risk Model that quantifies the risk at every transmission structure in AltaLink's system to target specific asset investments. These hardening efforts reduce the likelihood of AltaLink's transmission lines igniting a wildfire at locations of high fire risk. Investments are primarily focused on targeted transmission structure or transmission line upgrades or identified right-of-way improvements to remove hazardous vegetation to reduce fire ignition risk.

------

*Situational Awareness, Meteorology, and Risk Modeling*

AltaLink uses available integrated meteorology, fire monitoring and camera systems available from the Government of Alberta. Additionally, AltaLink installed incremental weather and camera stations in support of improvements to its situational awareness. This weather information, combined with expert third-party assessment, provides daily weather and fire risk forecasting for AltaLink's service territory. AltaLink also established a Daily Hazard Forecast Report, which is provided to the organization and field crews, and implemented an information portal in the control room. AltaLink implemented further enhancements to its fire weather modeling tools in 2024. AltaLink provides regular training to field operations and contractor crews regarding fire management and preventive practices. AltaLink completed its fire risk modeling and high-risk fire area ("HRFA") mapping in 2020, implemented dynamic modeling as well as further enhancements to its fire weather modeling tools in 2024, implemented the Wildfire Risk Model to quantify wildfire risk in 2025, and will complete updates to the Wildfire Risk Model in 2026 aligned with the AUC's upcoming decision for the 2026-2027 GTA.

*Asset Inspection Program*

AltaLink completes asset inspections for all its facilities at least annually. For lines located in HRFAs, inspection frequencies are twice per year to review structure and vegetation conditions.

*Public Safety Power Shutoff and Wildfire Encroachment Policy*

A PSPS is an operating protocol used as a preventative measure of last resort during periods of extreme wildfire risk. It involves de-energizing a transmission line or lines proactively under certain conditions to reduce the risk of wildfire ignition. PSPS is an increasingly common practice for utilities to use as part of wildfire prevention.

In determining whether to initiate a PSPS, AltaLink works with local public safety authorities and considers data from its wildfire risk forecasting tools and meteorological systems. If the forecast exceeds thresholds, escalating action is taken proactively starting from the seven-day forecast outlook. AltaLink continues to conduct stakeholder and Indigenous engagement and exercises related to its PSPS process. To mitigate the risk of secondary ignitions from fires on the landscape as well as safety risks to fire fighters on scene, AltaLink also has a wildfire encroachment policy to either disable reclosers or proactively de-energize transmission lines. These measures aim to reduce the risk to public safety.

*BHE U.S. Transmission*

BHE U.S. Transmission is engaged in various joint ventures to develop, own and operate transmission assets and is pursuing additional investment opportunities in the U.S. Currently, BHE U.S. Transmission has two joint ventures with transmission assets that are operational: ETT, a 50% owned joint venture with subsidiaries of American Electric Power Company, Inc. ("AEP"), and Prairie Wind Transmission, LLC, a 25% owned joint venture with AEP and Evergy, Inc. ETT owns and operates electric transmission assets in the ERCOT and, as of December 31, 2025, had total assets of $4.4 billion. ETT's transmission system includes approximately 2,100 miles of transmission lines and 51 substations as of December 31, 2025. Prairie Wind Transmission, LLC, owns and operates a 108-mile, 345-kV transmission project in Kansas having total assets of $125 million as of December 31, 2025.

In response to MISO's Tranche 2 competitive bid process, BHE U.S. Transmission in partnership with AEP and Evergy, Inc, submitted a $1.2 billion bid on a 765 kV line in Wisconsin that was awarded on January 6, 2026. The line must be operational by June 1, 2034.

**<u>HOMESERVICES</u>**

HomeServices, a wholly owned subsidiary of BHE, is one of the largest residential real estate brokerage firms in the U.S. In addition to providing traditional residential real estate brokerage services, HomeServices offers other integrated real estate services, including mortgage originations and mortgage banking; title and closing services; property and casualty insurance; home warranties; relocation services; and other home-related services. HomeServices' real estate brokerage business is subject to seasonal fluctuations because more home sale transactions tend to close during the second and third quarters of the year. As a result, HomeServices' operating results and profitability are typically higher in the second and third quarters relative to the remainder of the year. HomeServices' owned brokerages currently operate in over 770 offices in 35 states and the District of Columbia with nearly 35,000 real estate agents under 46 brand names. The U.S. residential real estate brokerage business is subject to the general real estate market conditions, is highly competitive and consists of numerous local brokers and agents in each market seeking to represent sellers and buyers in residential real estate transactions.

HomeServices' franchise business currently includes over 250 franchisees and nearly 1,400 brokerage offices with approximately 39,700 real estate agents under two brand names, primarily in the U.S. In exchange for certain fees, HomeServices provides franchisees the right to use the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices or Real Living brand names and other related service marks, as well as providing orientation programs, training and consultation services, advertising programs and other services.

**<u>GENERAL REGULATION</u>**

BHE's regulated subsidiaries and certain affiliates are subject to comprehensive governmental regulation, which significantly influences their operating environment, prices charged to customers, capital structure, costs and, ultimately, their ability to recover costs and earn a reasonable return on invested capital. In addition to the discussion contained herein regarding general regulation, refer to "Regulatory Matters" in Item 1 of this Form 10-K for further discussion regarding certain regulatory matters.

<u>Domestic Regulated Public Utility Subsidiaries</u>

The Utilities are subject to comprehensive regulation by various state, federal and local agencies. The more significant aspects of this regulatory framework are described below.

------

*State Regulation*

Historically, state regulatory commissions have established retail electric and natural gas rates on a cost-of-service basis, which are designed to allow a utility the opportunity to recover what each state regulatory commission deems to be the utility's reasonable costs of providing services, including the opportunity to earn a fair and reasonable return on its investments based on its cost of debt and equity. In addition to return on investment, a utility's cost of service generally reflects a representative level of prudent expenses, including cost of sales, operating expense, depreciation and amortization and income and other tax expense, reduced by wholesale electricity and other revenue. The allowed operating expenses are typically based on actual historical costs adjusted for known and measurable or forecasted changes. State regulatory commissions may adjust cost of service for various reasons, including pursuant to a review of: (a) the utility's revenue and expenses during a defined test period, (b) the utility's level of investment and (c) changes in income tax laws. State regulatory commissions typically have the authority to review and change rates on their own initiative; however, they may also initiate reviews at the request of a utility, utility customers or organizations representing groups of customers. In certain jurisdictions, the utility and such parties, however, may agree with one another not to request a review of or changes to rates for a specified period of time.

The retail electric rates of the Utilities are generally based on the cost of providing traditional bundled services, including generation, transmission and distribution services. The Utilities have established ECAMs and other cost recovery mechanisms in certain states, which help mitigate their exposure to changes in costs from those assumed in establishing base rates.

With certain limited exceptions, the Utilities have an exclusive right to serve retail customers within their service territories and, in turn, have an obligation to provide service to those customers. In some jurisdictions, certain classes of customers may choose to purchase all or a portion of their energy from alternative energy suppliers, and in some jurisdictions retail customers can generate all or a portion of their own energy. In Utah, a law signed in March 2025 (Senate Bill 132) establishes an alternative process to provide electric service to customers with new loads of 100 MW or greater, which includes the ability for the customer to take service from an independent power producer if the utility is unable to meet certain service provisions or reach a mutually agreeable service agreement with the customer. Under Oregon law, PacifiCorp has the exclusive right and obligation to provide electricity distribution services to all residential and nonresidential customers within its allocated service territory; however, nonresidential customers have the right to choose an alternative provider of energy supply. The impact of this right on PacifiCorp's consolidated financial results has not been material. In Washington, state law does not provide for exclusive service territory allocation. PacifiCorp's service territory in Washington is surrounded by other public utilities with whom PacifiCorp has from time to time entered into service area agreements under the jurisdiction of the WUTC. Under California law, PacifiCorp has the exclusive right and obligation to provide electricity distribution services to all residential and nonresidential customers within its allocated service territory; however, cities, counties and certain other public agencies have the right to choose to generate energy supply or elect an alternative provider of energy supply through the formation of a Community Choice Aggregator ("CCA"). To date, no CCA activity has occurred in PacifiCorp's California service territory. If a CCA is formed, PacifiCorp would continue to provide CCA customers transmission, distribution, metering and billing services and the CCA would provide generation supply. In addition, PacifiCorp would likely be able to collect costs from CCA customers for the generation-related costs that PacifiCorp incurred while they were customers of PacifiCorp. PacifiCorp would remain the electricity provider of last resort for these customers. In Illinois, state law has established a competitive environment so that all Illinois customers are free to choose their retail service supplier. For customers that choose an alternative retail energy supplier, MidAmerican Energy continues to have an ongoing obligation to deliver the supplier's energy to the retail customer. MidAmerican Energy bills the retail customer for such delivery services. MidAmerican Energy also has an obligation to serve customers at regulated cost-based rates and has a continuing obligation to serve customers who have not selected a competitive electricity provider. The impact of this right on MidAmerican Energy's financial results has not been material. In Nevada, Chapter 704B of the Nevada Revised Statutes allows retail electric customers with an average annual load of one MW or more to file a letter of intent and application with the PUCN to acquire electric energy and ancillary services from another energy supplier. The law requires customers wishing to choose a new supplier to receive the approval of the PUCN to meet public interest standards. In particular, departing customers must secure new energy resources that are not under contract to the Nevada Utilities, the departure must not burden the Nevada Utilities with increased costs or cause any remaining customers to pay increased costs and the departing customers must pay their portion of any deferred energy balances, all as determined by the PUCN. SB 547 revised Chapter 704B to establish limits on the amount of load eligible to take service under Chapter 704B and to set those limits as a part of the IRP filed by the Nevada Utilities. Also, the Utilities and the state regulatory commissions are individually evaluating how best to integrate private generation resources into their service and rate design, including considering such factors as maintaining high levels of customer safety and service reliability, minimizing adverse cost impacts and fairly allocating costs among all customers.

------

In Nevada, large natural gas customers using 12,000 therms per month with fuel switching capability are allowed to participate in the incentive natural gas rate tariff. Once a service agreement has been executed, a customer can compare natural gas prices under this tariff to alternative energy sources and choose its source of natural gas. In addition, natural gas customers using greater than 1,000 therms per day have the ability to secure their own natural gas supplies under the gas transportation tariff.

*PacifiCorp*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Rate Filings*

Under Utah law, the UPSC must issue a written order within 240 days of a public utility's application for a general rate change. Absent an order, the proposed rates go into effect as filed and are not subject to refund. The UPSC may allow interim rates to take effect within 45 days of an application, subject to refund or surcharge, if an adequate prima facie showing is established in hearing that the interim rate change is justified.

In Oregon, the OPUC has the authority to suspend proposed new rates for a period of up to 10 months, beyond the 30-day time period when the new rates would otherwise go into effect. Absent suspension or other action from the OPUC, new rates automatically go into effect 30 days from filing by the utility. Upon suspension by the OPUC, the OPUC is authorized to allow the collection of an interim rate, subject to refund, during the pendency of the OPUC's review of the rate request. In July 2025, Oregon House Bill 3179, the "FAIR Energy Act" (Fairness & Affordability in Residential Energy Regulation), was signed into law. Among other changes, the FAIR Energy Act prohibits any increase in residential rates from taking effect during the high-demand winter months, November 1 to March 31.

In Wyoming, the WPSC can allow interim rates to go into effect 30 days after the initial application but may require a bond to secure a refund for the amount. The WPSC may suspend the rates for final approval for a period not to exceed 10 months.

In Washington, the WUTC has the authority to suspend proposed new rates, subject to hearing, for a period not to exceed 10 months beyond the 30-day time period when the new rate would otherwise go into effect.

Under Idaho law, the IPUC can suspend a filing for an initial period not to exceed five months and an additional extension of 60 days with a showing of good cause.

In California, the CPUC has the authority to suspend proposed new rates, subject to hearing, for a period not to exceed 18 months. The CPUC may extend the suspension period on a case-by-case basis.

*Potential Wildfire Related Funds*

In Wyoming and Idaho, PacifiCorp is pursuing a self-insurance reserve fund for wildfire liability instead of acquiring commercial excess liability insurance. If approved by the state commissions, the reserve fund that would be funded through rates would allow PacifiCorp to recover the costs associated with third-party claims and external legal costs incurred as a result of wildfires occurring in the respective states. Additionally, in Utah, PacifiCorp is pursuing a catastrophic wildfire fund that is supported by Utah statute and which would differ from the reserve funds being pursued in Wyoming and Idaho in that commercial excess liability insurance for wildfires would be maintained.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Adjustment Mechanisms*

In addition to recovery through base rates, PacifiCorp also achieves recovery of certain costs through various adjustment mechanisms as summarized below.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **State Regulator** | **Base Rate Test Period** | **Adjustment Mechanism** |
| UPSC | Forecasted or historical with known and measurable changes<sup>(1)</sup> | EBA under which 100% of the difference between base net power costs set during a general rate case and actual net power costs is deferred and reflected in future rates. Wheeling revenue and PTCs are also included in the mechanism with a true-up at 100%. |
|  |  | Balancing account to provide for 90% refund of REC revenues to customers (10% REC incentive authorized by the UPSC). |
|  |  | Recovery mechanism for single capital investments that in total exceed 1% of existing rate base when a general rate case has occurred within the preceding 18 months. |
|  |  | Wildland Fire Mitigation Balancing Account to recover operating expenses and capital expenditures incurred to implement PacifiCorp's Utah Wildland Fire Protection Plan incremental to those included in base rates. |

*MidAmerican Energy* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Rate Filings*

Under Iowa law, a utility may implement temporary rates, without IUC review and subject to refund, on or after 10 days of filing a request for higher base rates. If the IUC has not issued a final order within 10 months after the filing date, the temporary rates become final. Under Illinois law, new base rates may become effective 45 days after the filing of a request with the ICC, or earlier with ICC approval. The ICC has authority to suspend the proposed new rates, subject to hearing, for a period not to exceed approximately 11 months after filing. South Dakota law authorizes the SDPUC to suspend new base rates for up to six months during the pendency of rate proceedings; however, a utility may implement all or a portion of the proposed new rates six months after the filing of a request for a rate increase subject to refund pending a final order in the proceeding.

Iowa law also permits rate-regulated utilities to seek ratemaking principles with the IUC prior to the construction of certain types of new generating facilities. Pursuant to this law, MidAmerican Energy has applied for and obtained IUC ratemaking principles orders for a 484-MW (MidAmerican Energy's share) coal-fueled generating facility, a 495-MW combined cycle natural gas-fueled generating facility and 7,055 MWs (nominal ratings) of wind-powered generating facilities in-service as of December 31, 2025. These ratemaking principles established cost caps for the projects, below which such costs are deemed prudent by the IUC and authorized a fixed rate of return on equity for the respective generating facilities over the regulatory life of the facilities in any future Iowa rate proceeding. As of December 31, 2025, the generating facilities in-service totaled $7.4 billion, or 31%, of MidAmerican Energy's regulated property, plant and equipment, net and were subject to these ratemaking principles at a weighted average return on equity of 11.3% with a weighted average remaining life of 31 years.

Ratemaking principles for several wind-powered generation projects have established mechanisms in Iowa where electric rate base may be reduced. The current revenue sharing mechanism is in accordance with Wind PRIME ratemaking principles and reduces rate base for Iowa electric returns on equity exceeding an established benchmark. Sharing is triggered by MidAmerican Energy's actual equity return being above a threshold calculated annually. The threshold, not to exceed 11%, is the weighted average equity return of rate base with returns authorized via ratemaking principles proceedings and all other rate base. For all other rate base, the return is based on interest rates on 30-year A-rated utility bond yields plus 400 basis points, with a minimum return of 9.5%. MidAmerican Energy shares with customers 90% of the revenue in excess of the trigger. A second mechanism, the retail customer benefit mechanism, reduces electric rate base for the value of higher cost retail energy displaced by covered wind-powered production and applies to the wind-powered generating facilities constructed under the Wind X and Wind XII projects, and wind-powered generating facilities placed in service in 2023 and future projects yet to be constructed under the Wind PRIME project that was approved by the IUC in December 2023. Rate base reductions under these mechanisms are applied to coal and other generation facilities in specified orders. A third mechanism, the Iowa EAC rate mitigation mechanism, provides EAC rate stability to customers by allocating revenue sharing amounts as required to reduce retail electric energy cost recoveries to a targeted amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Adjustment Mechanisms*

Under its current Iowa, Illinois and South Dakota electric tariffs, MidAmerican Energy is allowed to recover fluctuations in electric energy costs for its retail electric sales through fuel, or energy, cost adjustment mechanisms. Additionally, MidAmerican Energy has transmission adjustment clauses to recover certain transmission charges related to retail customers in all jurisdictions. The transmission adjustment mechanisms recover costs billed by the MISO for regional transmission service. The Illinois adjustment mechanism additionally recovers MidAmerican Energy's entire transmission revenue requirement attributable to Illinois. The adjustment mechanisms reduce the regulatory lag for the recovery of energy and transmission costs related to retail electric customers in these jurisdictions and accomplish, with limited timing differences, a pass-through of the related costs to these customers. Recoveries through these adjustment mechanisms are reflected in operating revenue, and the related costs are reflected in cost of fuel and energy or operations and maintenance expense, as applicable.

------

Of the wind-powered generating facilities placed in-service as of December 31, 2025, 5,451 MWs (nominal ratings) have not been included in the determination of MidAmerican Energy's Iowa retail electric base rates. In accordance with related ratemaking principles, until such time as these generation assets are reflected in base rates and ceasing thereafter, MidAmerican Energy will continue to reduce its revenue from Iowa EAC recoveries by $12 million each calendar year.

MidAmerican Energy's cost of natural gas purchased for resale is collected for each jurisdiction through a uniform PGA, which is updated monthly to reflect changes in actual costs. Subject to prudence reviews, the PGA accomplishes a pass-through of MidAmerican Energy's cost of natural gas purchased for resale to its customers and, accordingly, has no direct effect on net income.

MidAmerican Energy's electric and natural gas energy efficiency program costs are collected through bill riders that are adjusted annually based on actual and expected costs in accordance with the energy efficiency plans filed with and approved by the respective state regulatory commission. As such, the energy efficiency program costs, which are reflected in operations and maintenance expense, and related recoveries, which are reflected in operating revenue, have no direct impact on net income.

*NV Energy (Nevada Power and Sierra Pacific)*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Rate Filings*

Nevada statutes require the Nevada Utilities to file electric general rate cases at least every three years with the PUCN and prohibit the Nevada Utilities from filing another general rate application until all pending general rate applications filed have been decided by the Commission unless, after application and hearing, the Commission determines that a substantial financial emergency would exist if the public utility or its affiliate is not permitted to file another general rate case sooner. Sierra Pacific may also file natural gas general rate cases with the PUCN. The Nevada Utilities are also subject to a two-part fuel and purchased power adjustment mechanism. The Nevada Utilities make quarterly filings to reset the BTERs, based on the last 12 months of fuel and purchased power costs. The difference between actual fuel and purchased power costs and the revenue collected in the BTERs is deferred into a balancing account. The DEAA rate clears amounts deferred into the balancing account. Nevada regulations allow an electric or natural gas utility that adjusts its BTERs on a quarterly basis to request PUCN approval to make quarterly changes to its DEAA rate if the request is in the public interest. During required annual DEAA proceedings, the prudence of fuel and purchased power costs is reviewed, and if any costs are disallowed on such grounds, the disallowances will be incorporated into the next quarterly BTERs change. Also, on an annual basis, the Nevada Utilities (a) seek a determination that energy efficiency program expenditures were reasonable, (b) request that the PUCN reset base and amortization EEPR, and (c) request that the PUCN reset base and amortization EEIR.

*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EEPR and EEIR*

EEPR was established to allow the Nevada Utilities to recover the costs of implementing energy efficiency programs and EEIR was established to offset the negative impacts on revenue associated with the successful implementation of energy efficiency programs. These rates change once a year in the utility's annual DEAA application based on energy efficiency program budgets prepared by the Nevada Utilities and approved by the PUCN in the IRP proceedings. When the Nevada Utilities' regulatory earned rate of return for a calendar year exceeds the regulatory rate of return used to set base tariff general rates, they are obligated to refund energy efficiency implementation revenue previously collected for that year.

------

*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net Metering*

Nevada enacted Assembly Bill 405 ("AB 405") on June 15, 2017. The legislation, among other things, established net metering crediting rates for private generation customers with installed net metering systems less than 25 kilowatts. Under AB 405, private generation customers will be compensated for excess energy on a monthly basis at 95% of the rate the customer would have paid for a kilowatt-hour of electricity supplied by the Nevada Utilities for the first 80 MWs of cumulative installed capacity of all net metering systems in Nevada, 88% of the rate for the next 80 MWs, 81% of the rate for the next 80 MWs and 75% of the rate for any additional private generation capacity.

The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada approved a new 2025 net metering rate schedule ("NMR-2025") effective October 1, 2025, for only Sierra customers whose generation capacity is less than 25 kilowatts. Nevada Power customers remain on the NMR-405 rate. The new NMR-2025 rate does not change the compensation amounts established by AB 405 law, but it increases the frequency at which the net metering bill equations are calculated from once a month to every 15 minutes.

As of December 31, 2025, the cumulative installed and applied-for capacity of net metering systems under NMR-405 and NMR-2025 in Nevada was 957 megawatts.

*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Natural Disaster Protection Plan ("NDPP")*

Senate Bill 329 ("SB 329"), Natural Disaster Mitigation Measures, was signed into law on May 22, 2019. The legislation requires the Nevada Utilities to submit an NDPP to the PUCN. The PUCN adopted NDPP regulations on January 29, 2020, that require the Nevada Utilities to file their NDPP for approval on or before March 1 of every third year. The regulations also require annual updates to be filed on or before September 1 of the second and third years of the plan. The plan must include procedures, protocols and other certain information as it relates to the efforts of the Nevada Utilities to prevent or respond to a fire or other natural disaster. The expenditures incurred by the Nevada Utilities in developing and implementing the NDPP are held in a regulatory asset account. Historically, these costs were recovered through an annual application filed on or before March 1, with 2025 representing the final year of that recovery mechanism. Beginning in 2026, NDPP related costs will continue to be deferred as a regulatory asset and will be recovered through the Nevada Utilities' General Rate Case recovery mechanism.

*Federal Regulation*

The FERC is an independent agency with broad authority to implement provisions of the Federal Power Act, the Natural Gas Act ("NGA"), the Energy Policy Act of 2005 ("Energy Policy Act") and other federal statutes. The FERC regulates rates for wholesale sales of electricity; transmission of electricity, including pricing and regional planning for the expansion of transmission systems; electric system reliability; utility holding companies; accounting and records retention; securities issuances; construction and operation of hydroelectric facilities; and other matters. The FERC also has the enforcement authority to assess civil penalties for violation of rules, regulations and orders issued under the Federal Power Act. The Utilities have implemented programs and procedures that facilitate and monitor compliance with the FERC's regulations described below. MidAmerican Energy is also subject to regulation by the NRC pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended ("Atomic Energy Act"), with respect to its interest in the Quad Cities Station.

*Wholesale Electricity and Capacity*

The FERC regulates the Utilities' rates charged to wholesale customers for electricity and transmission capacity and related services. Much of the Utilities' wholesale electricity sales and purchases occur under market-based pricing allowed by the FERC and are therefore subject to market volatility. The Utilities are precluded from selling at market-based rates in the PacifiCorp-East, PacifiCorp-West, and Nevada Utilities balancing authority areas. Wholesale electricity sales in those specific balancing authority areas are permitted at cost-based rates. PacifiCorp and the Nevada Utilities have been granted the authority to bid into the California EIM at market-based rates.

------

The Utilities' authority to sell electricity in wholesale electricity markets at market-based rates is subject to triennial reviews conducted by the FERC. Accordingly, the Utilities are required to submit triennial filings to the FERC that demonstrate a lack of market power over sales of wholesale electricity and electric generation capacity in their respective market areas. PacifiCorp, the Nevada Utilities and certain affiliates, representing the BHE Northwest Companies, file together for market power study purposes. The BHE Northwest Companies' most recent triennial filing was made in June 2025 and is pending acceptance by the FERC. MidAmerican Energy and certain affiliates file together for market power study purposes of the FERC-defined Northeast Region. The most recent triennial filing for the Northeast Region was made in June 2023, and it remains under review by the FERC. MidAmerican Energy and certain affiliates file together for market power study purposes of the FERC-defined Central Region. The most recent triennial filing for the Central Region was made in December 2023, and it remains pending under review. Under the FERC's market-based rules, the Utilities must also file with the FERC a notice of change in status when there is a change in the conditions that the FERC relied upon in granting market-based rate authority. PacifiCorp filed its most recent notice of non-material change in status in October 2025. MidAmerican Energy filed a notice of non-material change in status in July 2022, and the filing is currently under review by the FERC. In January 2024, MidAmerican Energy filed a change in status filing due to the addition of the Chickasaw wind farm generation, and the filing is currently under review by the FERC.

*Transmission*

PacifiCorp's and the Nevada Utilities' wholesale transmission services are regulated by the FERC under cost-based regulation subject to PacifiCorp's and the Nevada Utilities' OATTs. These services are offered on a non-discriminatory basis, which means that all potential customers are provided an equal opportunity to access the transmission system. PacifiCorp's and the Nevada Utilities' transmission business is managed and operated independently from its wholesale marketing business in accordance with the FERC's Standards of Conduct. PacifiCorp and the Nevada Utilities have made several required compliance filings in accordance with these rules.

In December 2011, PacifiCorp adopted a cost-based formula rate under its OATT for its transmission services. Cost-based formula rates are intended to be an effective means of recovering PacifiCorp's investments and associated costs of its transmission system without the need to file rate cases with the FERC, although the formula rate results are subject to discovery and challenges by the FERC and intervenors. A significant portion of these services are provided to PacifiCorp's energy supply management function.

MidAmerican Energy participates in the MISO as a transmission-owning member. Accordingly, the MISO is the transmission provider under its FERC-approved OATT. While the MISO is responsible for directing the operation of MidAmerican Energy's transmission system, MidAmerican Energy retains ownership of its transmission assets and, therefore, is subject to the FERC's reliability standards discussed below. MidAmerican Energy's transmission business is managed and operated independently from its wholesale marketing business in accordance with the FERC's Standards of Conduct.

MidAmerican Energy constructed and owns four Multi-Value Projects ("MVPs") located in Iowa and Illinois that added approximately 250 miles of 345-kV transmission line to MidAmerican Energy's transmission system since 2012. The MISO's OATT allows for broad cost allocation for MidAmerican Energy's MVPs, including similar MVPs of other MISO participants. Accordingly, a significant portion of the revenue requirement associated with MidAmerican Energy's MVP investments is shared with other MISO participants based on the MISO's cost allocation methodology, and a portion of the revenue requirement of the other participants' MVPs is allocated to MidAmerican Energy, which MidAmerican Energy recovers from customers via a rider mechanism. The transmission assets and financial results of MidAmerican Energy's MVPs are excluded from the determination of its base retail electric rates.

The FERC has established an extensive number of mandatory reliability standards developed by the NERC and the WECC, including planning and operations, critical infrastructure protection and regional standards. Compliance, enforcement and monitoring oversight of these standards is carried out by the FERC; the NERC; and the WECC for PacifiCorp, Nevada Power, and Sierra Pacific; and the Midwest Reliability Organization for MidAmerican Energy.

*Hydroelectric*

The FERC licenses and regulates the operation of hydroelectric systems, including license compliance and dam safety programs. Most of PacifiCorp's hydroelectric generating facilities are licensed by the FERC as major systems under the Federal Power Act, and certain of these systems are licensed under the Oregon Hydroelectric Act. Under the Federal Power Act, 16 of PacifiCorp's hydroelectric developments are classified as "high hazard potential," meaning it is probable in the event of a dam failure that loss of human life in the downstream population could occur. PacifiCorp uses the FERC's guidelines to develop public safety programs consisting of a dam safety program and emergency action plans.

------

*Nuclear Regulatory Commission*

*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;General*

MidAmerican Energy is subject to the jurisdiction of the NRC with respect to its license and 25% interest in Quad Cities Station. Constellation Energy, the operator and 75% owner of Quad Cities Station, is under contract with MidAmerican Energy to secure and keep in effect all necessary NRC licenses and authorizations.

The NRC regulates the granting of permits and licenses for the construction and operation of nuclear generating stations and regularly inspects such stations for compliance with applicable laws, regulations and license terms. Current licenses for Quad Cities Station provide for operation until December 14, 2032. The NRC review and regulatory process covers, among other things, operations, maintenance, environmental and radiological aspects of such stations. The NRC may modify, suspend or revoke licenses and impose civil penalties for failure to comply with the Atomic Energy Act, the regulations under such Act or the terms of such licenses.

Federal regulations provide that any nuclear operating facility may be required to cease operation if the NRC determines there are deficiencies in state, local or utility emergency preparedness plans relating to such facility, and the deficiencies are not corrected. Constellation Energy has advised MidAmerican Energy that an emergency preparedness plan for Quad Cities Station has been approved by the NRC. Constellation Energy has also advised MidAmerican Energy that state and local plans relating to Quad Cities Station have been approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The NRC also regulates the decommissioning of nuclear-powered generating facilities, including the planning and funding for the eventual decommissioning of the facilities. In accordance with these regulations, MidAmerican Energy submits a biennial report to the NRC providing reasonable assurance that funds will be available to pay its share of the costs of decommissioning Quad Cities Station. MidAmerican Energy has established a trust for the investment of funds collected for nuclear decommissioning of Quad Cities Station.

Under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 ("NWPA"), the DOE is responsible for the selection and development of repositories for, and the permanent disposal of, spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive wastes. Constellation Energy, as required by the NWPA, signed a contract with the DOE under which the DOE was to receive spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste for disposal beginning not later than January 1998. The DOE did not begin receiving spent nuclear fuel on the scheduled date and remains unable to receive such fuel and waste. The costs to be incurred by the DOE for disposal activities were previously being financed by fees charged to owners and generators of the waste. In accordance with a 2013 ruling by the D.C. Circuit, the DOE, in May 2014, provided notice that, effective May 16, 2014, the spent nuclear fuel disposal fee would be zero. In 2004, Constellation Energy, reached a settlement with the DOE concerning the DOE's failure to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel in 1998. As a result, Quad Cities Station has been billing the DOE, and the DOE is obligated to reimburse the station for all station costs incurred due to the DOE's delay. Constellation Energy has constructed an interim spent fuel storage installation ("ISFSI") at Quad Cities Station consisting of two pads to store spent nuclear fuel in dry casks to free space in the storage pool. The first dry cask was placed in-service in 2005. As of December 31, 2021, the first pad at the ISFSI is full, and the second pad is in operation. The first and second pads at the ISFSI are expected to facilitate storage of casks to support operations at Quad Cities Station through the end of its current operating licenses, which is 2032.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*

*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*

*Nuclear Insurance*

MidAmerican Energy maintains financial protection against catastrophic loss associated with its interest in Quad Cities Station through a combination of insurance purchased by Constellation Energy, insurance purchased directly by MidAmerican Energy, and the mandatory industry-wide loss funding mechanism afforded under the Price-Anderson Amendments Act of 1988 ("Price-Anderson"), which was amended and extended by the Energy Policy Act. The general types of coverage maintained are: nuclear liability, property damage or loss and nuclear worker liability, as discussed below.

Constellation Energy purchases private market nuclear liability insurance for Quad Cities Station in the maximum available amount of $500 million, which includes coverage for MidAmerican Energy's ownership. In accordance with Price-Anderson, excess liability protection above that amount is provided by a mandatory industry-wide Secondary Financial Protection program under which the licensees of nuclear generating facilities could be assessed for liability incurred due to a serious nuclear incident at any commercial nuclear reactor in the U.S. Currently, MidAmerican Energy's aggregate maximum potential share of an assessment for Quad Cities Station is approximately $83 million per incident, payable in installments not to exceed $12 million annually.

------

The insurance for nuclear property damage losses covers property damage, stabilization and decontamination of the facility, disposal of the decontaminated material and premature decommissioning arising out of a covered loss. For Quad Cities Station, Constellation Energy purchases primary property insurance protection for the combined interests in Quad Cities Station, with coverage limits for nuclear damage losses up to $1.5 billion for nuclear perils and $500 million for non-nuclear perils. MidAmerican Energy also directly purchases extra expense coverage for its share of replacement power and other extra expenses in the event of a covered accidental outage at Quad Cities Station. The property and related coverages purchased directly by MidAmerican Energy and by Constellation Energy, which includes the interests of MidAmerican Energy, are underwritten by an industry mutual insurance company and contain provisions for retrospective premium assessments to be called upon based on the industry mutual board of directors' discretion for adverse loss experience. Currently, the maximum retrospective amounts that could be assessed against MidAmerican Energy from industry mutual policies for its obligations associated with Quad Cities Station total $9.8 million.

The master nuclear worker liability coverage, which is purchased by Constellation Energy for Quad Cities Station, is an industry-wide guaranteed-cost policy with an aggregate limit of $500 million for the nuclear industry as a whole, which is in effect to cover tort claims of workers in nuclear-related industries.

*U.S. Mine Safety*

PacifiCorp's surface mining operations are regulated by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration, which administers federal mine safety and health laws and regulations, and state regulatory agencies. The Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration has the statutory authority to institute a civil action for relief, including a temporary or permanent injunction, restraining order or other appropriate order against a mine operator who fails to pay penalties or fines for violations of federal mine safety standards. Information regarding PacifiCorp's mine safety violations and other legal matters disclosed in accordance with Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Reform Act is included in Exhibit 95 to this Form 10-K.

<u>Interstate Natural Gas Pipeline Subsidiaries</u>

The Pipeline Companies are regulated by the FERC, pursuant to the NGA and the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978. Under this authority, the FERC regulates, among other items, (a) rates, charges, terms and conditions of service, (b) the construction and operation of interstate pipelines, storage and related facilities, including the extension, expansion or abandonment of such facilities and (c) the construction and operation of LNG export/import facilities. The Pipeline Companies hold certificates of public convenience and necessity and LNG facility authorizations issued by the FERC, which authorize them to construct, operate and maintain their pipeline and related facilities and services.

In February 2022, the FERC updated its certificate policy that guides the authorization of natural gas projects and issued an interim policy providing guidance on how the FERC will review a natural gas project for its impact on climate change. The policies apply to pending and future natural gas projects. On September 12, 2025, the FERC terminated the proceedings to update its certificate policy without modification.

FERC regulations and the Pipeline Companies' tariffs allow each of the Pipeline Companies to charge approved rates for the services set forth in their respective tariffs. Generally, these rates are a function of the cost of providing services to customers, including prudently incurred operations and maintenance expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization and a reasonable return on invested capital. Tariff rates for each of the Pipeline Companies have been developed under a rate design methodology whereby substantially all fixed costs, including a return on invested capital and income taxes, are collected through reservation charges, which are paid by firm transportation and storage customers regardless of volumes shipped. Commodity charges, which are paid only with respect to volumes actually shipped, are designed to recover the remaining, primarily variable, costs. Kern River's reservation rates have historically been approved using a "levelized" cost-of-service methodology so that the rate remains constant over the levelization period. This levelized cost of service has been achieved by using a FERC-approved depreciation schedule in which depreciation increases as the cost of capital decreases on declining rate base. Each of the Pipeline Companies also hold authority to negotiate rates for their services, subject to requirements to offer cost-based rate alternatives, and to publish such negotiated rates. In addition, for services that are not subject to FERC rate jurisdiction pursuant to Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act, Cove Point charges rates that are established by contract.

------

The Pipeline Companies' rates are subject to change in future general rate proceedings. Rates for natural gas pipelines are changed by filings under either Section 5 or Section 4 of the Natural Gas Act. Section 5 proceedings are initiated by the FERC or the pipeline's customers for a potential reduction to rates that the FERC finds are no longer just and reasonable. In a Section 5 proceeding, the initiating party has the burden of demonstrating that the currently effective rates of the pipeline are no longer just and reasonable, and of demonstrating alternative just and reasonable rates. Any rate decrease as a result of a Section 5 proceeding is implemented prospectively upon the issuance of a final FERC order adopting the new just and reasonable rates. Section 4 rate proceedings are initiated by the natural gas pipeline, who must demonstrate that the new proposed rates are just and reasonable. The new rates as a result of a Section 4 proceeding are typically implemented six months after the Section 4 filing if higher than prior rates and are subject to refund upon issuance of a final order by the FERC.

The FERC-regulated natural gas companies may not grant undue preference to any customer. FERC regulations require that certain information be made public for market access, through standardized internet websites. These regulations also restrict each pipeline's marketing affiliates' access to certain non-public information that could affect price or availability of service.

Interstate natural gas pipelines are also subject to regulations administered by the Office of Pipeline Safety within the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, an agency of the DOT. Federal pipeline safety regulations are issued pursuant to the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968, as amended ("NGPSA"), which establishes safety requirements in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of interstate natural gas facilities, and requires an entity that owns or operates pipeline facilities to comply with such plans. Major amendments to the NGPSA include the Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002 ("2002 Act"), the Pipeline Inspection, Protection, Enforcement and Safety Act of 2006 ("2006 Act"), the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011 ("2011 Act") the Protecting Our Infrastructure of Pipelines and Enhancing Safety Act of 2016 ("2016 Act") and the Protecting Our Infrastructure of Pipelines and Enhancing Safety Act of 2020 ("2020 Act").

The 2002 Act established additional safety and pipeline integrity regulations for all natural gas pipelines in high-consequence areas. The 2002 Act imposed major new requirements in the areas of operator qualifications, risk analysis and integrity management. The 2002 Act mandated more frequent periodic inspection or testing of natural gas pipelines in high-consequence areas, which are locations where the potential consequences of a natural gas pipeline accident may be significant or may do considerable harm to persons or property. Pursuant to the 2002 Act, the DOT promulgated regulations that require natural gas pipeline operators to develop comprehensive integrity management programs, to identify applicable threats to natural gas pipeline segments that could impact high-consequence areas, to assess these segments and to provide ongoing mitigation and monitoring. The regulations require recurring inspections of high-consequence area segments every seven years after the initial baseline assessment.

The 2006 Act required pipeline operators to institute human factors management plans for personnel employed in pipeline control centers. DOT regulations published pursuant to the 2006 Act required development and implementation of written control room management procedures.

The 2011 Act was a response to natural gas pipeline incidents, most notably the San Bruno natural gas pipeline explosion that occurred in September 2010 in California. The 2011 Act increased the maximum allowable civil penalties for violations, directs operator assistance for Federal authorities conducting investigations and authorized the DOT to hire additional inspection and enforcement personnel. The 2011 Act also directed the DOT to study several topics, including the definition of high-consequence areas, the use of automatic shutoff valves in high-consequence areas, expansion of integrity management requirements beyond high-consequence areas and cast iron pipe replacement. The studies are complete, and a number of notices of proposed rulemaking have been issued. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration ("PHMSA") issued the Safety of Gas Transmission Pipelines: MAOP Reconfirmation, Expansion of Assessment Requirements and Other Related Amendments final rule in October 2019. The primary change was the expansion of the pipeline integrity assessment requirements to cover moderate-consequence areas and reconfirming maximum allowable operating pressures. Pipeline operators were required to develop procedures to address assessment requirements by July 2021 and complete 50% of the required MAOP reconfirmation actions by 2028 and the remaining by 2035. The BHE Pipeline Group has updated procedures, identified pipeline segments subject to the rule and has planned projects to complete required assessments. PHMSA sent Part 2 of the rule to the Federal Register for publishing August 4, 2022, and it was published in the Federal Register August 24, 2022. The rule initially had an effective date of May 2023, but has been extended to February 2024. The third part of the rule, the gas gathering rule, has also been issued, but has minimal impact on the BHE Pipeline Group.

------

The 2016 Act required the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration to set federal minimum safety standards for underground natural gas storage facilities and authorized emergency order authority. In February 2020, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration issued a final rule regarding underground natural gas storage facilities that incorporates by reference the American Petroleum Institute's Recommended Practice 1171, "Functional Integrity of Natural Gas Storage in Depleted Hydrocarbon Reservoirs and Aquifer Reservoirs," clarifies certain aspects of the mandatory nature of the standard and defines regulatory completion dates for underground storage facility risk assessments. The BHE Pipeline Group has 20 total underground natural gas storage fields at EGTS and Northern Natural Gas that fall under this regulation and is complying with the final rule. The BHE Pipeline Group underground storage fields have had several audits under the Final Rule with no notices of probable violations issued. Kern River, Carolina Gas and Cove Point do not have underground natural gas storage facilities.

The 2020 Act required operations to review and update their inspection and maintenance plans to address how the plans contribute to eliminate hazardous leaks of natural gas, reduction of fugitive emissions and replacement or remediation of pipelines that are known to leak based on the material, design or past operating maintenance history. BHE Pipeline Group has completed the review and update of its inspection and maintenance plans. To assist in this effort, Kern River participated in a non-punitive pilot inspection with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.

The DOT and related state agencies routinely audit and inspect the pipeline facilities for compliance with their regulations. The Pipeline Companies conduct periodic internal audits of their facilities with more frequent reviews of those deemed higher risk. The Pipeline Companies also conduct preliminary audits in advance of agency audits. Compliance issues that arise during these audits or during the normal course of business are addressed on a timely basis. The Pipeline Companies believe their pipeline systems comply in all material respects with the NGPSA and with DOT regulations issued pursuant to the NGPSA.

<u>Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies</u>

The Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies, as holders of electricity distribution licenses, are subject to regulation by GEMA. GEMA regulates distribution network operators ("DNOs") within the terms of the Electricity Act 1989 and the terms of DNO licenses, which are revocable with 25 years notice. Under the Electricity Act 1989, GEMA has a duty to ensure that DNOs can finance their regulated activities and DNOs have a duty to maintain an investment grade credit rating. GEMA discharges certain of its duties through its staff within Ofgem. Each of fourteen licensed DNOs distributes electricity from the national grid transmission system and distribution-connected generators to end users within its respective distribution services area.

DNOs are subject to price controls, enforced by Ofgem, that limit the revenue that may be recovered and retained from their electricity distribution activities. The regulatory regime that has been applied to electricity distributors in Great Britain encourages companies to look for efficiency gains in order to improve profits. The distribution price control formula also adjusts the revenue received by DNOs to reflect a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the rate of inflation (as measured by the United Kingdom's Retail Prices Index) and the quality of service delivered by the licensee's distribution system. The current price control, Electricity Distribution 2 ("ED2"), has been set for a period of five years, starting April 1, 2023. The procedure and methodology adopted at a price control review are at the reasonable discretion of Ofgem. Ofgem's judgment of the future allowed revenue of licensees is likely to take into account, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the actual operating and capital costs of each of the licensees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the operating and capital costs that each of the licensees would incur if it were as efficient as, in Ofgem's judgment, the more efficient licensees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the actual value of certain costs which are judged to be beyond the control of the licensees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the taxes that each licensee is expected to pay;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the regulatory value ascribed to the expenditures that have been incurred in the past and the efficient expenditures that are to be incurred in the forthcoming regulatory period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the rate of return to be allowed on expenditures that make up the regulatory asset value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the financial ratios of each of the licensees and the license requirement for each licensee to maintain investment grade status;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an allowance in respect of the repair of the pension deficits in the defined benefit pension schemes sponsored by each of the licensees; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any under- or over-recoveries of revenues, relative to allowed revenues, in the previous price control period.

------

A number of incentive schemes also operate within the current price control period to encourage DNOs to provide an appropriate quality of service to end users. This includes specified payments to be made for failures to meet prescribed standards of service. The aggregate of these guaranteed standards payments is uncapped but may be excused in certain prescribed circumstances that are generally beyond the control of the DNOs.

The current electricity distribution price control became effective April 1, 2023 and is due to terminate on March 31, 2028, and will be immediately replaced with a new price control. Although it has been the convention in Great Britain for regulators to conduct periodic regulatory reviews before making proposals for any changes to the price controls, a new price control can be implemented by GEMA without the consent of the DNOs. If a licensee disagrees with a change to its license, it can appeal the matter to the United Kingdom's CMA, as can certain other parties. Any appeals must be notified within 20 working days of the license modification by GEMA. If the CMA determines that the appellant has relevant standing, then the statute requires that the CMA complete its process within six months, or in some exceptional circumstances seven months. The Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies appealed Ofgem's proposals for the resetting of the formula that commenced April 1, 2023, the CMA remitted the matter back to Ofgem to determine and implement a remedy.

Ofgem completed the price control review that resulted in a new price control effective April 1, 2023. The license modifications that give effect to the price control were published by Ofgem on February 3, 2023 and were subject to appeal to the CMA, if an appeal is filed by March 3, 2023. Many aspects of the prior price control were maintained and the changes made generally follow the template that was set by the price controls implemented in April 2021 for transmission and gas distribution in Great Britain. Specific changes include new service standard incentives and mechanisms to adjust cost allowances in specific circumstances, particularly related to investment required to support decarbonization efforts, and partially updating the allowed return on equity within the period for changes in the interest rate on government bonds. Ofgem's final determinations also included an allowed cost of equity of 5.23% plus inflation (calculated using the United Kingdom's consumer prices index including owner occupiers' housing costs) and cost allowances representing a 20% real-term increase compared to the current regulatory period annual average. The base allowed revenue, excluding the effects of incentive schemes, pass-through costs and any deferred revenues from the prior price control, will decrease approximately 4.0% at Northern Powergrid (Northeast) plc and will increase approximately 2.5% at Northern Powergrid (Yorkshire) plc, respectively, in 2023-24 before the addition of inflation.

Ofgem also monitors DNO compliance with license conditions and enforces the remedies resulting from any breach of condition. License conditions include the prices and terms of service, financial strength of the DNO, the provision of information to Ofgem and the public, as well as maintaining transparency, non-discrimination and avoidance of cross-subsidy in the provision of such services. Ofgem also monitors and enforces certain duties of a DNO set out in the Electricity Act 1989, including the duty to develop and maintain an efficient, coordinated and economical system of electricity distribution. Under changes to the Electricity Act 1989 introduced by the Utilities Act 2000, GEMA is able to impose financial penalties on DNOs that contravene any of their license duties or certain of their duties under the Electricity Act 1989, as amended, or that are failing to achieve a satisfactory performance in relation to the individual standards prescribed by GEMA. Any penalty imposed must be reasonable and may not exceed 10% of the licensee's revenue.

<u>AltaLink</u>

AltaLink is regulated by the AUC, pursuant to the *Electric Utilities Act* (Alberta), the *Public Utilities Act* (Alberta), the *Alberta Utilities Commission Act* (Alberta) and the *Hydro and Electric Energy Act* (Alberta). The AUC is an independent, quasi-judicial agency established by the province of Alberta, Canada, which is responsible for, among other things, approving the tariffs of transmission facility owners, including AltaLink, acquisitions of such transmission facility owners or utilities, and construction and operation of new transmission projects in Alberta. The AUC also investigates and rules on regulated rate disputes, system access, and market participant conduct. The AUC regulates and oversees Alberta's electricity transmission sector with broad authority that may impact many of AltaLink's activities, including its tariffs, rates, construction, operations and financing.

The AUC has various core functions in regulating the Alberta electricity transmission sector, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulating and adjudicating issues related to the operation of electric utilities within Alberta;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• processing and approving general tariff applications relating to revenue requirements, capital expenditure prudency and rates of return including deemed capital structure for regulated utilities, while ensuring that utility rates are just and reasonable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approving the transmission tariff rates of regulated transmission providers paid by the AESO, which is the independent transmission system operator in Alberta, Canada, that controls the operation of AltaLink's transmission system;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approving the need for new electricity transmission facilities and permits to build and licenses to operate electricity transmission facilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewing operations and accounts from electric utilities and conducting on-site inspections to ensure compliance with industry regulation and standards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adjudicating enforcement issues including the imposition of administrative penalties that arise when market participants violate the rules of the AESO or contravene legislation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• collecting, storing, analyzing, appraising and disseminating information to effectively fulfill its duties as an industry regulator.

In addition, AUC approval is required in connection with new energy and regulated utility initiatives in Alberta, amendments to existing approvals and financing proposals by designated utilities.

AltaLink's tariffs are regulated by the AUC under the provisions of the *Electric Utilities Act* (Alberta) in respect of rates and terms and conditions of service. In regulating transmission tariffs, the AUC must facilitate sufficient investment to ensure the timely upgrade, enhancement or expansion of transmission facilities, and foster a stable investment climate and a continued stream of capital investment for the transmission system.

Under the *Electric Utilities Act* (Alberta), AltaLink prepares and files applications with the AUC for approval of tariffs to be paid by the AESO for the use of its transmission facilities, and the terms and conditions governing the use of those facilities. The AUC reviews and approves such tariff applications based on a cost-of-service regulatory model under a forward test year basis. Under this model, the AUC provides AltaLink with a reasonable opportunity to (i) earn a fair return on equity; and (ii) recover its forecast costs, including operating expenses, depreciation, borrowing costs and taxes (including deemed income taxes) associated with its regulated transmission business. The AUC must approve tariffs that are just, reasonable and not unduly preferential, arbitrary or unjustly discriminatory. AltaLink's transmission tariffs are not dependent on the price or volume of electricity transported through its transmission system.

The AESO is an independent system operator in Alberta, Canada, that oversees the Alberta Interconnected Electric System ("AIES") and wholesale electricity market. The AESO is responsible for directing the safe, reliable and economic operation of the AIES, including long-term transmission system planning. AltaLink and the other transmission facility owners receive substantially all of their transmission tariff revenues from the AESO. The AESO, in turn, charges wholesale tariffs, approved by the AUC, in a manner that promotes fair and open access to the AIES and facilitates a competitive market for the purchase and sale of electricity. The AESO monitors compliance with approved reliability standards, which are enforced by the Market Surveillance Administrator, which may impose penalties on transmission facility owners for non-compliance with the approved reliability standards.

The AESO determines the need and plans for the expansion and enhancement of the transmission system in Alberta in accordance with applicable law and reliability standards. The AESO's responsibilities include long-term transmission planning and management, including assessing the current and future transmission system capacity needs of market participants. When the AESO determines an expansion or enhancement of the transmission system is needed, with limited exceptions, it submits an application to the AUC for approval of the proposed expansion or enhancement. The AESO then determines which transmission provider should submit an application to the AUC for a permit and license to construct and operate the designated transmission facilities. Generally, the transmission provider operating in the geographic area where the transmission facilities expansion or enhancement is to be located is selected by the AESO to build, own and operate the transmission facilities. In addition, Alberta law provides that certain transmission projects may be subject to a competitive process open to qualified bidders.

<u>Independent Power Projects</u>

The Yuma, Cordova, Saranac, Power Resources, Topaz, Agua Caliente, Solar Star 1, Solar Star 2, Solar Star 3, Solar Star 4 Bishop Hill II, Jumbo Road, Marshall, Grande Prairie, Walnut Ridge, Pinyon Pines I, Pinyon Pines II, Santa Rita, Independence, Fluvanna II, Flat Top, Mariah del Norte, Rio Bravo, Alamo 6 and Pearl independent power projects are Exempt Wholesale Generators ("EWGs") under the Energy Policy Act, while the Community Solar Gardens, Imperial Valley and Wailuku independent power projects are currently each certified as a Qualifying Facility ("QF") under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978. Both EWGs and QFs generally are exempt from compliance with extensive federal and state regulations that control the financial structure of an electric generating plant and the prices and terms at which electricity may be sold by the facilities.

------

The Yuma, Cordova, Saranac, Imperial Valley, Topaz, Agua Caliente, Solar Star 1, Solar Star 2, Solar Star 3, Solar Star 4, Bishop Hill II, Marshall, Grande Prairie, Walnut Ridge, Independence, Pinyon Pines I and Pinyon Pines II independent power projects have obtained authority from the FERC to sell their power at market-based rates. This authority to sell electricity in wholesale electricity markets at market-based rates is subject to triennial reviews conducted by the FERC. Accordingly, the respective independent power projects are required to submit triennial filings to the FERC that demonstrate a lack of market power over sales of wholesale electricity and electric generation capacity in their respective market areas. The Pinyon Pines I, Pinyon Pines II, Solar Star 1, Solar Star 2, Solar Star 3, Solar Star 4, Topaz and Yuma independent power projects and power marketers CalEnergy, LLC and BHER Market Operations, LLC file together for market power study purposes of the FERC-defined Southwest Region. The most recent triennial filing for the Southwest Region was made in June 2025, and is awaiting FERC action. The Cordova and Saranac independent power projects and power marketer CalEnergy, LLC file together with MidAmerican Energy and certain affiliates for market power study purposes of the FERC-defined Northeast Region. The most recent triennial filing for the Northeast Region was made in June 2023 and is awaiting FERC action. The Bishop Hill II and Walnut Ridge independent power projects and power marketer CalEnergy, LLC file together with MidAmerican Energy and certain affiliates for market power study purposes of the FERC-defined Central Region. The most recent triennial filing for the Central Region was made in December 2023 and is awaiting FERC action. The Marshall and Grande Prairie independent power projects and power marketer CalEnergy, LLC file together for market power study purposes in the FERC-defined Southwest Power Pool Region. The most recent triennial filing for the Southwest Power Pool Region was made in December 2024 and is awaiting FERC action. Power marketers CalEnergy LLC and BHER Market Operations, LLC also file for market power study purposes in the FERC-defined Northwest Region together with PacifiCorp, Nevada Power Company, Sierra Power Company and certain affiliates. The most recent triennial filing for the Northwest Region was made in June 2025, and is awaiting FERC action.

The entire output of Jumbo Road, Santa Rita, Fluvanna II, Flat Top, Mariah del Norte, Rio Bravo, Alamo 6, Pearl and Power Resources is within ERCOT and market-based authority is not required for such sales solely within ERCOT as the ERCOT market is not a FERC-jurisdictional market. Similarly, Wailuku sells its output solely to the Hawaii Electric Light Company within the Hawaii electric grid, which is not a FERC-jurisdictional market and therefore, Wailuku does not require market-based rate authority.

EWGs are permitted to sell capacity and electricity only in the wholesale markets, not to end users. Additionally, utilities are required to purchase electricity produced by QFs at a price that does not exceed the purchasing utility's "avoided cost" and to sell back-up power to the QFs on a non-discriminatory basis, unless they have successfully petitioned the FERC for an exemption from this purchase requirement. Avoided cost is defined generally as the price at which the utility could purchase or produce the same amount of power from sources other than the QF on a long-term basis. The Energy Policy Act eliminated the purchase requirement for utilities with respect to new contracts under certain conditions. New QF contracts are also subject to FERC rate filing requirements, unlike QF contracts entered into prior to the Energy Policy Act. FERC regulations also permit QFs and utilities to negotiate agreements for utility purchases of power at rates other than the utility's avoided cost.

**<u>REGULATORY MATTERS</u>**

In addition to the discussion contained herein regarding regulatory matters, refer to "General Regulation" in Item 1 of this Form 10-K for further information regarding the general regulatory framework.

*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 $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 were 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 2025. After the UPSC denied the rehearing, PacifiCorp filed for review with the Utah Supreme Court.

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. In November and December 2024, PacifiCorp filed updated testimony that further revised the requested rate increase to $330 million, or 14.0%, effective February 23, 2025. 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 limited PacifiCorp's recovery of costs associated with insurance premiums, lowered PacifiCorp's authorized return on equity and equity component of its capital structure, reduced forecast base net power costs, substantially limited recovery for amounts previously deferred under the wildland fire mitigation balancing account and disallowed recovery of Utah's share of PacifiCorp's investment in certain assets on the Klamath River hydroelectric system. In May 2025, PacifiCorp filed a request for rehearing that the UPSC denied in June 2025, except for a partial reconsideration of a mathematical error that granted an additional $7 million related to excess liability insurance premiums. PacifiCorp has filed for review of these decisions with the Utah Supreme Court.

In May 2025, PacifiCorp filed its EBA application to recover deferred net power costs from 2024. The filing requests recovery of $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%. In June 2025, the UPSC approved the interim rate change, effective July 1, 2025. In December 2025, a settlement stipulation was filed that updated recovery to $467 million of deferred net power costs. In February 2026, the UPSC approved the settlement stipulation.

In November 2025, PacifiCorp filed an application to create a catastrophic wildfire fund authorized by Utah statute. The fire fund would serve as a supplement to other forms of insurance to manage liabilities associated with catastrophic fire events in Utah that are not otherwise covered by insurance.

*Oregon*

In February 2024, PacifiCorp filed a general rate case requesting a rate increase that included new capital investments in transmission and wind-powered generating facilities, higher insurance premiums for third-party liability coverage and proposed funding for a catastrophic fire fund. In July 2024, PacifiCorp filed updated testimony that removed the proposed funding for a catastrophic fire fund and included a reduction in the requested return on equity and in August 2024, PacifiCorp filed updated testimony that further revised the requested rate increase to $208 million, or 11.2%, effective January 1, 2025. In December 2024, the OPUC issued an order in the general rate case that resulted in a rate increase of $140 million, or 7.5%, effective January 1, 2025. 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 December 2024 general rate case order or that were placed into service subsequent to the rate effective date of the last general rate case. The application sought a rate increase of $51 million, or 2.5%, effective January 1, 2026. In December 2025, the OPUC approved recovery of the wind-powered generating facilities but not the associated transmission lines, resulting in a rate increase of $40 million, which is a 2.2% increase for non-residential customers effective January 1, 2026, and a 1.7% increase, for residential customers effective April 1, 2026. In February 2026, PacifiCorp filed an application for reconsideration with the OPUC regarding the decision to exclude recovery of the transmission lines.

In August 2025, PacifiCorp filed an application to defer the costs of certain wind-powered generating facilities and associated transmission lines not already in rates as of August 15, 2025 through December 31, 2025, when these projects would be included in rates through the renewable adjustment clause.

In February 2026, PacifiCorp filed an application to defer 90% of the incremental costs associated with insurance coverage commencing in February 2026.

*Wyoming*

In March 2023, PacifiCorp filed a general rate case requesting a rate increase of $140 million, or 21.6%, to become effective January 1, 2024. The requested rate increase included recovery of increases in net power costs and new major capital investments in transmission and wind-powered generating facilities. In September 2023, PacifiCorp filed updated testimony that included updated net power costs and increased insurance premium costs associated with third-party liability coverage. In November 2023, the WPSC approved a rate increase of $54 million, or 8.3%, effective January 1, 2024. In January 2024, PacifiCorp filed an application for rehearing requesting the WPSC consider three items, including the WPSC's adjustment to net power costs related to third-party wholesale reserves, costs associated with the Washington Cap and Invest program and the opportunity to revise PacifiCorp's initial revenue requirement request for updates, corrections and revisions reflected in rebuttal testimony. In April 2024, the WPSC denied a rehearing in an open meeting. PacifiCorp is pursuing review of this decision in federal and Wyoming state courts. In September 2025, the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming granted PacifiCorp's motion for summary judgment ruling that the WPSC's net power costs adjustment intruded on the FERC's jurisdiction over third-party wholesale reserves. The WPSC and another intervening party have appealed the decision to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals.

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 WPSC approved the stipulation as filed, with rates effective June 1, 2025.

In April 2025, PacifiCorp filed its ECAM and its REC and SO2 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. In June 2025, the WPSC approved the interim rate change, effective July 1, 2025. In December 2025, the WPSC approved an all-party settlement stipulation that reduced the interim rate change by $3 million, effective January 1, 2026.

In January 2026, PacifiCorp filed an application to establish a temporary balancing account to track the excess liability insurance premium expenses currently included in rates and 80% of the cost of claims and outside legal defense costs related to wildfires that occur in Wyoming while pursuing a self-insurance reserve fund for wildfire liability.

*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. In April 2025, the WUTC approved the second year increase as filed, effective April 3, 2025.

------

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 August 2023, PacifiCorp filed a deferral application with the WUTC for costs associated with increased insurance premium costs associated with third-party liability coverage. In September 2025, the WUTC approved the request to defer these costs.

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 under the Washington 2026 Protocol also proposed in the filing. The filing requested a $34 million, or 7.9%, rate increase effective January 1, 2026. In September 2025, PacifiCorp submitted rebuttal testimony which reflected a lower proposed rate increase of $12 million, or 2.8%. The update is primarily due to Washington Engrossed House Bill 1329, enacted into law in May 2025, that updated types of wholesale power purchases allowed by electric utilities under Washington's Clean Energy Transformation Act. In December 2025, the WUTC approved the 2026 Protocol and PacifiCorp's request to update its baseline net power costs. The final rates that went into effect January 1, 2026, incorporated cost updates and resulted in a rate increase of $2 million, or 0.5%, for customers.

In June 2025, PacifiCorp filed its PCAM requesting recovery of deferred net power costs from 2024. The filing requested a rate increase of $56 million, or 10.0%, effective October 1, 2025. In September 2025, the WUTC approved recovery of $57 million, with an updated effective date of February 1, 2026, for most customer classes. Since the 2024 PCAM effective date coincides with the expiration of the larger 2023 PCAM surcharge, customers will experience an overall decrease in rates.

*Idaho*

In April 2024, PacifiCorp filed its ECAM to recover deferred net power costs from 2023. The filing requested a rate increase of $33 million, or 10.5%, effective June 1, 2024. In May 2024, the IPUC approved a rate increase of $30 million, or 9.7%, effective June 1, 2024, that excluded costs associated with the Washington Cap and Invest program. In June 2024, PacifiCorp filed a petition for reconsideration of the disallowed costs, and in July 2024, the IPUC granted the request for reconsideration. PacifiCorp filed comments in September 2024, and in October 2024, the IPUC issued a decision denying reconsideration of its May order. Subsequently, in November 2024, PacifiCorp filed an appeal with the Idaho Supreme Court regarding the IPUC's order that was denied in November 2025. Per the 2024 Idaho general rate case settlement approved in January 2025 by the IPUC, the rate increase approved for the ECAM will be spread over a two-year period.

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, that the IPUC approved in May 2025. The filing excluded costs associated with the Washington Cap and Invest program.

In January 2026, PacifiCorp filed an application to establish a temporary balancing account to track the excess liability insurance premium expenses currently included in rates and 80% of the cost of claims and outside legal defense costs related to wildfires that occur in Idaho while pursuing a self-insurance reserve fund for wildfire liability.

*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 addressed 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.

------

In June 2023, PacifiCorp filed an application with the CPUC for authority to establish a Wildfire Expense Memorandum Account to track for future cost recovery incremental, unreimbursed wildfire liability-related expenses, including increased insurance premium costs and legal expenses, to be applied to expenses incurred on or after June 21, 2023, for wildfires occurring on or after June 21, 2020. In September 2025, the CPUC approved the request to track California claims for unreimbursed wildfire liability-related expenses, including third-party liability expenses and legal expenses for wildfires occurring between June 21, 2020, and June 30, 2026, and for incremental, unreimbursed wildfire insurance premiums incurred on or after June 21, 2023, subject to certain limitations.

In September 2024, PacifiCorp filed to recover costs associated with an event that occurred in 2023 recorded in the catastrophic events memorandum account requesting recovery of $30 million over a two-year period, resulting in an annual rate increase of $15 million, or 10.2%, effective March 1, 2025. In August 2025, parties filed a motion for the CPUC to adopt a joint settlement agreement for $29 million amortized over three years.

In June 2025, the CPUC issued a proposed administrative enforcement order against PacifiCorp for its 2020 wildfire mitigation plan compliance. The order alleges that PacifiCorp did not meet targets in the approved wildfire mitigation plan and did not provide sufficient data to support PacifiCorp's compliance or corrective actions. The order proposes a $27 million penalty. In July 2025, PacifiCorp filed a request for hearing which will take place in May 2026.

*FERC*

PacifiCorp's wholesale transmission rates are set annually using formula rates approved by the FERC and are updated annually. In May 2024, PacifiCorp published the 2024 annual update of its transmission formula rate in FERC Docket No. ER24-2004-000 pursuant to its formula rate implementation protocols. The 2024 formula rate update included the impacts of approximately $1,677 million of accrued losses, net of expected insurance recoveries associated with the Wildfires recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023, among other adjustments. Pursuant to the formula rate implementation protocols, PacifiCorp transmission customers are permitted to lodge "preliminary challenges" to the formula rate updates, which provides an informal basis upon which PacifiCorp and the transmission customers may exchange certain information and engage in discussions in order to provide further context to the rates resulting from the updates. Transmission customers are ultimately permitted to lodge "formal challenges" to the formula rate update with the FERC in the event preliminary discussions are not fruitful or do not resolve outstanding issues, and the FERC has an established process to resolve formal challenges. In June 2025, several PacifiCorp transmission customers filed formal challenges with the FERC, largely seeking to disallow PacifiCorp's recovery of the portion of losses associated with the Wildfires allocable to transmission customers through the formula rate and other, less substantive expenses. In August 2025, PacifiCorp filed a response and procedural motion with the FERC to dismiss the formal challenges on the basis that the formal challenges lack merit and do not support finding that PacifiCorp's Wildfires losses were imprudently incurred. In September 2025, those transmission customers who filed the formal challenges filed responses to PacifiCorp's filing. In October 2025, PacifiCorp filed an additional response with the FERC. PacifiCorp will continue to utilize the FERC-established process to resolve all outstanding issues related to its 2024 annual update. The matter is pending before the FERC.

In May 2025, PacifiCorp published the 2025 annual update of its transmission formula rate in FERC Docket No. ER25-2221-000, which included the impacts of approximately $346 million of accrued losses associated with the Wildfires recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024, among other adjustments. In January 2026, several PacifiCorp transmission customers filed preliminary challenges to the 2025 formula rate update. Formal challenges with the FERC are due June 25, 2026.

*2026 PacifiCorp Inter-Jurisdictional Allocation Protocol*

In August 2025, PacifiCorp filed applications with the UPSC, the OPUC, the WPSC and the IPUC for approval of PacifiCorp's 2026 Inter-Jurisdictional Cost Allocation Protocol ("2026 Protocol"). The 2026 Protocol is intended to supersede the 2020 PacifiCorp Inter-Jurisdictional Allocation Protocol for Utah, Oregon, Wyoming, Idaho and California, and align with the changes proposed in the Washington 2026 Protocol, filed with the April 2025 power cost only rate case. This filing is the first phase in a multi-phased process to transition PacifiCorp's cost-allocation methodology to accommodate diverging resource portfolios and changes to operations needed to address individual state energy policies. If approved, the 2026 Protocol will be effective for new regulatory filings beginning January 1, 2026. The CPUC will consider the 2026 Protocol as part of PacifiCorp's next general rate case filed in California. In December 2025, PacifiCorp filed deferral applications with the UPSC, the OPUC, the WPSC and the IPUC for net impacts of the reallocation of resources required to implement the 2026 Protocol as of January 1, 2026, while approval of the 2026 Protocol is pending in the respective states.

*MidAmerican Energy*

*2025 Solar Reliability Project*

In February 2025, MidAmerican Energy filed an application with the IUC for advance ratemaking principles for MidAmerican Energy's 2025 Solar Reliability Project. The application asks the IUC to approve installation of up to 800 MWs of new solar generation in Iowa to meet capacity needs driven by load growth and regional capacity requirements. In July 2025, MidAmerican Energy filed a unanimous settlement with all parties. On September 11, 2025, the IUC issued its final order, approving the unanimous settlement without modification. MidAmerican Energy accepted the ratemaking principles on September 12, 2025, and began construction in 2025 and expects to place the project's facilities in-service in 2026 through 2028.

*Iowa Transmission Legislation*

In 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 challenged 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.

In May 2024, while the appeal was pending, MISO initiated 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. In August 2024, MISO announced the outcome of its variance analysis, which implemented a mitigation plan 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 affirmed that, pursuant to its tariff, MidAmerican Energy and ITC Midwest remain obligated to construct the projects assigned to each company.

On May 30, 2025, the Iowa Supreme Court issued its opinion on the scope of the injunction. The Iowa Supreme Court held that the district court's injunction properly restricted the parties from taking any additional action, or relying on prior actions, related to any and all electric transmission line projects in Iowa that were claimed pursuant to, under or in reliance on Iowa's ROFR law. However, the Iowa Supreme Court advised that any relief related to the application of the MISO tariff or the assignment of projects under MISO's variance analysis should be sought from the FERC.

Following the Iowa Supreme Court's opinion, the IUC requested additional briefing in a docket involving an LRTP Tranche 1 project to be constructed by ITC Midwest. The IUC advised that it needed to address "existing barriers to resolution of this and other proposed transmission projects," noting that the Iowa Supreme Court "provided acute clarity with respect to Iowa law and how the Commission should act, or not act, in regard to projects tainted by ROFR" but left unresolved "the impact of federal determinations on these proceedings." MidAmerican Energy filed comments that support the right to proceed with projects assigned under MISO's variance analysis and mitigation plan. At a July 22, 2025 hearing in the ITC Midwest docket, the IUC held that the variance analysis and mitigation plan allowed the project to proceed and encouraged any party that disagreed to "seek appropriate relief from MISO or FERC". The IUC issued a franchise and opinion on December 1, 2025, finding that the variance analysis assigning Tranche 1 projects relies on grounds other than Iowa's ROFR law. No petition for judicial review was filed, rendering the IUC's favorable decision final. MidAmerican Energy continues to progress with a franchise petition for its first LRTP Tranche 1 project, consistent with the IUC ruling.

------

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)*

*Regulatory Rate Review*

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%. In May 2025, a settlement was reached in the cost of capital phase, resulting in the return on equity remaining at 9.5% and the capital structure as well as the cost of debt being approved as filed. Hearings for the revenue requirement and rate design phases were held in July 2025. In September 2025, the PUCN issued an order approving an increase in the revenue requirement of $118 million, which includes 50% of construction work in progress in rate base for the Greenlink project, with rates effective October 1, 2025. In October, 2025, Nevada Power filed a petition for reconsideration and clarification of certain aspects of the PUCN's order, including recovery of the Flex Pay Program implementation costs. In November 2025, the PUCN issued a final modified order largely reaffirming its original order.

*Wildfire Self-Insurance Policy Filing*

In January 2025, the Nevada Utilities filed applications for approval of the establishment and associated cost recovery of a Wildfire Self-Insurance Policy. The applications request that the PUCN issue an order determining that it is reasonable and prudent for the Nevada Utilities to establish a $500 million wildfire self-insurance policy (the "Policy") in order to have additional wildfire liability insurance in place in the event that a catastrophic wildfire in Nevada is alleged to be caused or exacerbated by utility equipment. The Policy would provide $500 million in additional coverage for the Nevada Utilities for third-party claims, and it would be in excess to the commercial wildfire liability insurance the Nevada Utilities possess. In addition, the applications request approval to collect the costs for the Policy in rates over a ten-year period. Hearings before the Commission concluded in June 2025. In July 2025, the PUCN issued an order that approved the application in part and denied the application in part. The PUCN found that $1.0-$1.5 billion in insurance coverage is a prudent range for the Nevada Utilities based on its wildfire risk profile and that the Nevada Utilities sufficiently supported its initial request for an additional $500 million of excess insurance. However, the PUCN also determined that additional information is necessary to assess whether the self-insurance policy proposed by the Nevada Utilities is prudent under the circumstances and reasonable considering other options, if any. The Nevada Utilities filed the additional information requested by the PUCN in October 2025. The PUCN has set a hearing in April 2026 to assess the prudency of self-insurance.

*BHE Pipeline Group* 

*Northern Natural Gas*

In July 2025, Northern Natural Gas filed a general rate case that proposed an overall annual cost-of-service of $1.6 billion. This is an increase of $286 million above the cost-of-service filed in its 2022 rate case of $1.3 billion, largely due to higher depreciation expense and return allowance of $165 million from increased rate base and an increase in depreciation and negative salvage rates, and increased operations and maintenance expenses of $96 million. Northern Natural Gas requested increases in various rates, including transportation and storage reservation rates. In January 2026, the FERC approved Northern Natural Gas' filing to implement interim rates effective January 1, 2026, subject to refund and the outcome of hearing procedures.

*BHE Transmission*

*AltaLink*

In May 2025, AltaLink filed its 2026-2027 General Tariff Application and 2023-2024 Deferral Accounts Reconciliation Application with the AUC. AltaLink amended its application in July 2025. In August 2025, AltaLink advised the AUC that it reached a negotiated settlement with customer groups for substantially all its 2026-2027 GTA revenue and the entirety of the 2023-2024 Deferral Accounts Reconciliation Application. AltaLink filed its revised GTA reflecting the terms of the negotiated settlement agreement with total amended revenue requirements of C$919 million and C$960 million for 2026 and 2027, respectively. Under the agreement, AltaLink reduced its applied-for operating expenses by C$4 million and sustaining capital expenditures by C$67 million for the 2026-2027 test period. In September 2025, the AUC approved the negotiated settlement agreement. The approved negotiated settlement marks AltaLink's fourth successful negotiated settlement over the past decade.

The negotiated settlement agreement does not include, among other items, AltaLink's 2026-2027 Wildfire Mitigation Plan and the execution and costs of the 2024-2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan, insurance premiums, depreciation on certain asset classes, the regulatory accounting and income tax treatment of certain costs and the proposal of two deferral accounts. These items were heard in an AUC hearing in November 2025, with a decision expected in the first quarter of 2026. A decision is expected in March 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*BHE U.S. Transmission* 

In January 2025, ETT filed a request with the Public Utilities Commission of Texas ("PUCT") for a $57 million annual base rate increase over its adjusted test year revenues which includes interim transmission rate updates. The rate case sought a prudence review determination on cumulative capital additions included in interim rates since the initial base regulatory review in 2007. In June 2025, ETT filed a unanimous and unopposed settlement with the PUCT with a base rate increase of approximately $20 million, based on an ROE of 9.6% and a capital structure of 59% debt and 41% equity. The settlement also included a determination that ETT's invested capital and rate base are prudent and properly included in rates. A motion to approve interim rates was granted in June 2025. In October 2025, the PUCT issued an order approving the June 2025 settlement. The rates approved by the order are identical to the rates approved on an interim basis.

*Northern Powergrid*

Ofgem is currently consulting on its framework for the five-year RIIO-ED3 price control, which will become effective April 1, 2028. Ofgem plans to publish its decision on the framework in Q2 2026. Northern Powergrid will be required to submit its final business plan in December 2026, ahead of Ofgem's Final Determination scheduled for December 2027.

**<u>ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS</u>**

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 laws and regulations are subject to interpretation that may ultimately be resolved by the courts.

The Company has cumulative investments in (i) owned wind, solar and geothermal generating facilities and electric battery storage facilities of $38.0 billion and (ii) wind tax equity investments of $7.1 billion and has ceased coal operations at 22 coal-fueled generation facilities. As a result, as of December 31, 2025, the Company reduced its annual GHG emissions by 30% as compared to 2005 levels. To the extent it is beneficial for customers and consistent with regulatory provisions, the Company plans to continue investing in wind, solar and other low-carbon generation and storage in the future, including (i) $4.9 billion on the construction of renewable generating facilities and repowering certain existing wind-powered generating facilities through 2028 and (ii) $197 million on the construction of electric battery storage facilities through 2028, and to cease coal operations at additional coal-fueled generation facilities in a reliable and cost-effective manner. Refer to "Liquidity and Capital Resources" of each respective Registrant in Item 7 of this Form 10-K for discussion of each Registrant's renewable generation-related capital expenditures.

------

On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued a series of U.S. federal executive orders, including a memorandum establishing a regulatory freeze pending review. The memo prohibits submission of rules and guidance documents to the Federal Register without direct review, requires immediate withdrawal of rules and guidance documents submitted to the Federal Register but not yet published, and, for rules and guidance documents published but not yet having taken effect, consideration of a 60-day delay and possible additional comment period. Additional executive orders direct the heads of all administrative agencies to review all existing regulations, orders, guidance documents, policies, settlements, consent orders and any other agency actions and develop action plans to suspend, revise or rescind all agency actions identified as unduly burdensome. Until the agencies complete reviews and take final action consistent with these directives, the relevant Registrant cannot determine the impact and whether additional action will be necessary.

*<u>Climate Change</u>*

In December 2015, an international agreement was negotiated by 195 nations to create a universal framework for coordinated action on climate change in what is referred to as the Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement reaffirms the goal of limiting global temperature increase well below 2 degrees Celsius, while urging efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius and reaching a global peak of GHG emissions as soon as possible to achieve climate neutrality by mid-century; establishes commitments by all parties to make nationally determined contributions and pursue domestic measures aimed at achieving the commitments; commits all countries to submit emissions inventories and report regularly on their emissions and progress made in implementing and achieving their nationally determined commitments; and commits all countries to submit new commitments every five years, with the expectation that the commitments will get more aggressive. After more than 55 countries representing more than 55% of global GHG emissions submitted their ratification documents, the Paris Agreement became effective November 4, 2016; however, the U.S. completed its first withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on November 4, 2020. The U.S. accepted the terms of the climate agreement on January 20, 2021, and the U.S. completed its reentry February 19, 2021. In January 2025, the U.S. announced its second departure from the Paris Agreement, which was finalized in January 2026.

*Environmental Deregulation*

On March 12, 2025, the EPA announced a significant deregulatory effort focused on climate change and measures that impact the energy sector. At the core of the deregulatory effort is the plan to reconsider the EPA's 2009 endangerment finding on greenhouse gases. That finding gives the EPA its authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions by finding they threaten public health. In addition to the endangerment finding, the EPA announced it will review the following rules and policies relevant to the Registrants: greenhouse gas standards for power plants; methane standards for the oil and natural gas sector; greenhouse gas reporting rule; mercury and air toxics standards; steam electric effluent limitation guidelines; oil and natural gas effluent limitation guidelines; risk management program; hydrofluorocarbon phase-out rule; National Ambient Air Quality Standards for fine particulate matter; regional haze program; state and tribe implementation plans for a variety of air quality rules; exceptional events policy; coal combustion residuals rule; and the definition of waters of the U.S. The EPA has taken the following actions to implement the announcement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On June 11, 2025, the EPA issued a proposal to rescind the 2024 rules establishing greenhouse gas emissions limits for existing coal-fueled power plants and new natural gas-fueled power plants. The rule contains two co-proposals: The lead proposal would exclude the power sector from Clean Air Act regulation for greenhouse gas emissions on the grounds that the sector does not significantly contribute to dangerous air pollution; the secondary proposal would eliminate the carbon capture and sequestration-based standards and other requirements from the 2024 rules. The effect of the secondary proposal for new natural gas-fueled plants is to leave in place the efficiency-based Phase 1 standards while removing the carbon capture and sequestration-based Phase 2 standards. For existing coal-fueled plants, the removal of carbon capture and sequestration-based and natural gas co-firing-based requirements means that no greenhouse gas emissions requirements would be in place. The proposed rescission could affect facilities at BHE Renewables, MidAmerican Energy, NV Energy and PacifiCorp. The EPA accepted comments on the proposal through August 7, 2025. Until the rulemaking process is complete and litigation exhausted, full impacts to the affected Registrants cannot be determined.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On June 11, 2025, the EPA issued a proposal to repeal the 2024 amendments to the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, specifically addressing the residual risk and technology review that informed the amendments. The repeal includes the filterable particulate matter emission standard as a surrogate for non-mercury hazardous air pollutants; the requirement to use continuous emission monitoring systems for measuring and reporting particulate matter emissions; and the mercury emissions standard for existing lignite-fueled electric generating units. The rescission of the first two limits would affect facilities at MidAmerican Energy and PacifiCorp. The EPA accepted comments on the proposal through August 11, 2025. Until the rulemaking process is complete and litigation exhausted, full impacts to the affected Registrants cannot be determined.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On July 17, 2025, the EPA issued a direct final rule and companion proposal that would extend the compliance deadlines for coal combustion residual management units set forth in the legacy CCR rule. The rule would (1) establish an additional option that will allow the part one and part two facility evaluation reports to be prepared concurrently so long as both reports are submitted no later than February 8, 2027; (2) extend by 15 months the deadline for CCR management units to comply with the groundwater monitoring provisions; and (3) make conforming changes to the remaining CCR management unit deadlines that will be impacted by the extended facility evaluation report deadline. The EPA accepted comments on the direct final rule and co-proposal through September 15, 2025. Because adverse comments were submitted, the direct final rule was withdrawn and the EPA proceeded to consider comments on the co-proposal. The EPA signed the final CCRMU Deadline Extension Rule on February 6, 2026, and it took effect February 9, 2027. The deadline extensions in the final rule provide owners and operators of CCR management units with an additional year to complete both the part one and part two facility evaluation reports, which are now due February 9, 2027, and February 8, 2028, respectively. Because these reports and deadlines serve as prerequisites for all other sequential deadlines for CCR management units, the EPA made conforming changes to extend deadlines for these requirements, including implementation of groundwater monitoring, preparing closure and post-closure care plans and initiating closure of the CCR management unit. Owners and operators of CCR management units will have a total of 36 months (i.e., February 10, 2031) from the completion of the part 2 facility evaluation report to design and install groundwater monitoring systems and initiate monitoring. Closure and post-closure care plans are now due August 11, 2031, and initial groundwater monitoring and corrective action reports for CCR management units are now due January 31, 2032. Until the rulemaking process is complete and litigation exhausted, full impacts to the affected Registrants cannot be determined.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On July 29, 2025, the EPA extended several compliance deadlines for the 2024 methane regulation, which covers new and modified oil and gas facilities, including transmission and storage assets. The interim rule was effective immediately. Most compliance deadlines for newly regulated sources, including equipment leaks, tank controls, pneumatic controllers, and super-emitter programs, have been extended by 18 months. Monitoring requirements for flares and enclosed combustion have a shorter, 120-day extension. States were given an additional 10 months to submit plans, now due November 9, 2026. The extension rule provides short-term operational relief for the Registrant BHE Pipeline Group, with additional time to plan and implement compliance measures for new and modified sources affected by the rule. However, the extension rule does not alter the substance of obligations under the methane rule. Additional rulemaking to address the substantive elements of the rule is anticipated in 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On July 29, 2025, the EPA released a proposed rule titled "Reconsideration of 2009 Endangerment Finding and Greenhouse Gas Vehicle Standards." This proposal would repeal the EPA's 2009 Endangerment Finding, a determination that greenhouse gas emissions qualify as air pollution that endangers human health or the environment. The proposed rescission offered several differing and potentially exclusive approaches to reach a new conclusion. The lead proposal would find that Clean Air Act section 202(a) (the section that authorizes regulation of motor vehicle emissions) does not authorize the EPA to prescribe emission standards based on global climate change concerns. The first alternative proposal would repeal the Endangerment Finding by casting doubt on the underlying record and scientific evidence. A second alternative proposal would not withdraw or repeal the Endangerment Finding but instead would reopen the standards the EPA established in 2024 for greenhouse gas emissions from light, medium, and heavy-duty motor vehicles and would find that there are no requisite emissions control technologies for motor vehicle greenhouse emissions that would meaningfully address global climate change without imposing a greater public health burden by presumed economic loss. The EPA finalized the Endangerment Finding Rescission on February 11, 2026. The EPA said that Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act does not allow the agency to enact emissions regulations for vehicles in a way that addresses climate change, so there is no legal basis to issue the endangerment finding and any resulting regulations. In the final rule, the EPA argues that the Clean Air Act was never intended to allow for regulation of greenhouse gases because climate change is a global phenomenon. Such a limitation, however, is not expressed in the law itself. The final rule is expected to be challenged in the D.C. Circuit and ultimately appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court for final adjudication. The legal process could take several years, with significant uncertainty in the short term. Until the rulemaking process is complete and litigation has been exhausted, impacts on the relevant Registrants cannot be determined.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On September 12, 2025, the EPA issued a proposed rule to rescind its greenhouse gas reporting requirements for nearly all industrial sectors currently subject to its Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program and to suspend until 2034 most oil and gas sector rules, while also repealing mandates for gas distribution operations. If finalized, the proposal would remove reporting obligations for most large facilities; all fuel and industrial gas suppliers; and carbon dioxide injection sites. The agency said that no sector would need to submit reports with 2025 data. However, the proposal would extend the March 31, 2026, deadline for such reports until June 10, 2026, which would "allow the EPA time to issue a final rule prior to the regulatory deadline for reporting year 2025." While power plants would no longer be subject to reporting emissions under the greenhouse gas reporting program, Section 821 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 established a separate statutory requirement that sources subject to the Title IV Acid Rain Program, principally power plants, must monitor and report carbon dioxide. That obligation is carried out through separate regulations that are not affected by the current proposal. Until the rulemaking process is complete and litigation has been exhausted, impacts on the relevant Registrants cannot be determined.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On November 20, 2025, the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ("Corps") proposed a revised waters of the U.S. definition limiting the scope of waters that receive federal Clean Water Act protections. An estimate in a regulatory impact analysis conducted by the EPA and the Corps said 19% of wetlands in the contiguous U.S. that have been mapped by the federal government would be protected under the draft definition. The agencies said the proposal conforms with *Sackett v. EPA*, a 2023 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that found only wetlands that directly touched a relatively permanent waterway – like a river or lake – fell under the scope of the Clean Water Act and the regulatory powers of the federal government. The agencies proposed a more restrictive interpretation of the ruling than prior iterations of the definitional rule. In addition to having a physical surface connection to a waterway, wetlands would need to contain surface water at least for the duration of the wet season to be considered jurisdictional waters. The relevant Registrants most commonly encounter the need to evaluate potential impacts to waters of the U.S. with infrastructure construction projects. The revised definition may reduce the companies' regulatory burden under programs like the Nationwide Permit program, due to the narrower definition of what constitutes a water of the U.S. The agencies accepted comments on the proposed rule through January 5, 2026. Until rulemaking is complete and litigation is exhausted, impacts on the relevant Registrants cannot be determined.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On December 31, 2025, the EPA finalized its rule extending by six years certain compliance deadlines in a rule governing coal-fired power plants' effluent limitations guidelines, while also providing assurances that officials will not enforce facilities violating permit conditions in the rule if they face an upcoming deadline to do so. The final rule extends the deadline for the Notice of Plan Participation for permanent cessation of coal by 2034 to December 31, 2031; extends the deadline for compliance with zero-liquid discharge technologies for bottom ash transport water, flue gas desulfurization wastewater, and combustion residual leachate from 2029 to 2034; and provides flexibilities for compliance with deadlines for bottom ash transport water and flue gas desulfurization wastewater from the 2020 rule. The final rule includes a provision granting sources that demonstrate unexpected changes in energy demand or supply the ability to obtain site-specific extensions of the discharge limit requirements on an as-needed basis. In addition to the deadline extensions, the EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance provided a no action assurance regarding certain coal plants that are subject to effluent limitations guidelines in both the 2020 rule and 2024 rule. The no action assurance establishes that the EPA will exercise its enforcement discretion to not pursue enforcement actions for certain permit violations by coal-fired power plants not yet in compliance with limitations from the 2020 and 2024 final rules where those limitations are required by the permit to be met on dates between December 31, 2025, through December 31, 2026, as long as the entities involved meet the conditions of the no action assurance. Facilities must submit to the permitting authority a timely and complete initial request letter to receive an alternative applicability date and provide a copy to the EPA; permitting authorities must find that the initial request letter factually supports the facility meeting one of the circumstances that warrant an alternative applicability date; and facilities must meet all applicable reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The extension rule takes effect March 2, 2026. MidAmerican and PacifiCorp own or operate facilities impacted by the 2024 rule's requirements and are evaluating the final extension rule's impacts on operations. Environmental groups opposing the changes are expected to file suit over the rule. Until litigation has been exhausted, impacts on the relevant Registrants cannot be determined.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On January 15, 2026, the EPA finalized changes to New Source Performance Standards for stationary combustion turbines. The rule applies to affected sources constructed, modified or reconstructed after December 13, 2024. The rule establishes nitrogen oxide emissions limits for affected turbines based on size, rates of utilization, design efficiency and fuel type. The final rule now requires selective catalytic reduction only for new, large gas-fueled turbines. The EPA included a new subcategory for small and medium temporary stationary combustion turbines which can only be used in a single location for up to 24 months. Such units must utilize combustion controls to meet applicable fuel-based emissions limits. The rule took effect upon publication in the Federal Register. Until anticipated litigation is exhausted, impacts on the relevant Registrants cannot be determined.

*Air Quality Regulations*

The Clean Air Act, as well as state laws and regulations impacting air emissions, provides a framework for protecting and improving the nation's air quality and controlling sources of air emissions. These laws and regulations continue to be promulgated and implemented and will impact the operation of BHE's generating facilities and require them to reduce emissions at those facilities to comply with the requirements. In addition, the potential adoption of state or federal clean energy standards, which include low-carbon, non-carbon and renewable electricity generating resources, may also impact electricity generators and natural gas providers.

<u>National Ambient Air Quality Standards</u>

Under the authority of the Clean Air Act, the EPA sets minimum NAAQS for six principal pollutants, consisting of carbon monoxide, lead, NOx, particulate matter, ozone and SO2, considered harmful to public health and the environment. Areas that achieve the standards, as determined by ambient air quality monitoring, are characterized as being in attainment, while those that fail to meet the standards are designated as being nonattainment areas. Generally, sources of emissions in a nonattainment area that are determined to contribute to the nonattainment are required to reduce emissions. Currently, with the exceptions described in the following paragraphs, air quality monitoring data indicates that all counties where the relevant Registrant's major emission sources are located are in attainment of the current NAAQS.

------

On June 4, 2018, the EPA published final ozone designations for much of the U.S. Relevant to the Registrants, these designations include classifying Yuma County, Arizona; Clark County, Nevada; and the Northern Wasatch Front, Southern Wasatch Front and Duchesne and Uintah counties in Utah as nonattainment-marginal with the 2015 ozone standard. These areas were required to meet the 2015 standard three years from the August 3, 2018, effective date. All other areas relevant to the Registrants were designated attainment/unclassifiable with this same action. However, on January 29, 2021, the D.C. Circuit vacated several provisions of the 2018 implementing rules for the 2015 ozone standards for contravening the Clean Air Act. The EPA and environmental groups finalized a consent decree in January 2022 that sets deadlines for the agency to approve or disapprove the "good neighbor" provisions of interstate ozone plans of dozens of states. Relevant to the Registrants, the EPA must, by April 30, 2022, propose to approve or disapprove the interstate ozone SIPs of Alabama, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin. On February 22, 2022, the EPA published a series of proposed decisions to disapprove the SIPs for interstate ozone transport of 19 states. Relevant to the Registrants, these states include Alabama, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, West Virginia and Wisconsin. The EPA also proposed to approve Iowa's SIP after re-analyzing the state's data. In addition, the EPA must approve or disapprove the interstate plans of Arizona, California, Nevada and Wyoming. On April 15, 2022, the EPA issued its final rule approving Iowa's SIP as meeting the good neighbor provisions for the 2015 ozone standard. On May 24, 2022, the EPA disapproved the Utah and Wyoming interstate ozone SIPs. On January 30, 2023, the EPA entered into a stipulated extension to the deadline for action on the Wyoming SIP, setting a new deadline of December 15, 2023. The EPA explained that the extra time is needed to fully consider updated air quality information and public comments. The EPA published its proposed approval of Wyoming's SIP on August 14, 2023 and finalized the approval December 19, 2023. As a result, Wyoming is not subject to the Good Neighbor Rule, discussed below, and litigation over Wyoming's SIP was terminated after the effective date of the rule on January 18, 2024. The EPA also reevaluated SIPs for Tennessee and Arizona. On January 31, 2023, the EPA issued final disapproval of the 19 SIPs proposed in April 2022, setting the stage to include those states in the federal implementation plan described under the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule. Separately, on March 28, 2022, the EPA proposed determinations as to whether certain areas have achieved levels of ground-level ozone pollution that meet the 2008 and 2015 ozone NAAQS. Relevant to Registrants, the Southern Wasatch Front in Utah and Yuma, Arizona are proposed to have met the 2015 ozone standard; and the Cincinnati area of Ohio and Kentucky and the Northern Wasatch Front in Utah are proposed to have not met the 2015 ozone standard and to be reclassified as Moderate Non-Attainment, and have until August 3, 2024, to meet the standard. In June 2022, the EPA took final action to redesignate the Ohio portion of the Cincinnati area to attainment status and no further action is required. In November 2022, the EPA finalized the redesignations of the Southern Wasatch Front area in Utah and Yuma, Arizona to attainment, and also finalized a finding of failure to attain and redesignation to marginal nonattainment for the Kentucky portion of the Cincinnati area. In September 2022, after achieving acceptable levels of the ozone NAAQS, the Commonwealth of Kentucky requested that the EPA redesignate the Kentucky portion of the Cincinnati area to attainment for the 2015 ozone standard. The EPA took final action in September 2023 to approve Kentucky's plan and to redesignate the Kentucky portion of the Cincinnati area to attainment for the 2015 ozone standard. In December 2024, the EPA finalized findings of failure to attain and reclassification of the Northern Wasatch Front area in Utah and the Las Vegas Valley area of Clark County, Nevada, as "serious" for the 2015 ozone standard. As a result, Utah and Nevada must submit to the EPA certain SIP revisions and may require permitting changes for the relevant Registrants' facilities. In October 2024, the EPA proposed to set a deadline of 18 months from the effective date of the reclassification, or no later than January 1, 2026. Also in October 2024, the EPA entered into a settlement agreement with environmental groups concerning the agency's delay in reviewing and revising, if necessary, the primary health-based NAAQS for NOx. Under the agreement, the EPA must sign a proposed NOx NAAQS update by January 17, 2028, and finalize it by November 10, 2028. On December 27, 2024, consistent with the terms of a separate settlement agreement, the EPA finalized action to revise the secondary NAAQS for SO2 and to retain the existing secondary standards for NOx and PM. Any action may be subject to further review by the new administration. Until the EPA takes final action to address implementation deadlines for newly reclassified areas and the affected states submit any required SIPs, the relevant Registrants cannot determine the impacts of these actions.

------

On February 7, 2024, the EPA released final standards for fine particulate matter, PM2.5. The EPA strengthened the primary, health-based annual PM2.5 standard from 12 micrograms per cubic meter to 9 micrograms per cubic meter. The standards were last updated in 2012. Most PM2.5 particles form in the atmosphere as a result of chemical reactions of substances, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, that are emitted from power plants, industrial sources and automobiles. National ambient air quality standards are implemented through compliance plans submitted by states and tribes that are then approved by the EPA. The EPA stated that 119 counties in the 48 contiguous states do not meet the revised standard but predicted that that number would be reduced to 52 counties by 2032, the earliest year by which a compliance requirement is anticipated. A coalition of two dozen states challenged the final PM2.5 rule in the D.C Circuit Court of Appeals. The EPA initially defended the rule in briefing and at oral argument, but signaled a likely policy change with a request to abate litigation in 2025. The court granted the EPA's motion to stay litigation while the agency reconsidered the rule. In November 2025, the EPA asked the court to vacate the PM2.5 air standard because the agency determined it had not conducted a "thorough review" and it failed to evaluate compliance costs. The court has not yet ruled on the motion to vacate, and the EPA has not proposed a replacement rule. The EPA did not meet a February 6, 2026, deadline for designating attainment status with the current PM2.5 NAAQS. The agency is expected to extend the designation deadline by one year. Until additional rulemaking and litigation is exhausted, the relevant Registrants cannot determine the full impacts of the revised standard.

<u>Cross-State Air Pollution Rule</u>

On June 18, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision in favor of Utah and PacifiCorp in the ozone transport case titled *Oklahoma v. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency*, in which the state and company were parties. The case addressed the proper court venue for the EPA's disapproval of Oklahoma and Utah state ozone transport plans. The court's ruling provides needed clarity and confirms that while SIPs require a careful balance of federal and state collaboration, the Clean Air Act clearly directs that regional courts are the proper court venue for disagreements over the details of those plans. By recognizing that state plans are "undisputedly locally or regionally applicable actions," the court preserved important legal rights for states to have disagreements over their plans heard in the appropriate regional federal circuit court. This enables regional court consideration of the plans and arguments rather than grouping multiple state plans under a national review in the D.C. Circuit. The cases have been transferred back to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, the regional court where they were originally filed. The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to abate further litigation while the EPA reconsiders both its earlier disapproval of the state plans and the federal plan it promulgated. On November 10, 2025, the EPA approved a portion of Utah's SIP addressing interstate transport for the 2008 8-hour ozone standard.

On January 27, 2026, the EPA signed a proposal to reconsider the Good Neighbor Plan. In the proposed rule, the EPA finds that it wrongly disallowed state implementation plans that relied on earlier guidance to show that they meet the Clean Air Act's good neighbor provision with respect to the 2015 ozone national ambient air quality standard. Relevant to the Registrants, the EPA is proposing to approve the SIP submissions of Arizona, Minnesota and Nevada and to withdraw previously proposed error-correction action related to interstate transport obligations for Iowa. The currently approved Iowa Plan will therefore stay in place. The EPA will accept public comments on the proposed reconsideration through March 2, 2026. It is the first of a two-part effort to establish a new interstate ozone policy, and the EPA intends to take a subsequent action to address interstate transport obligations for the 2015 8-hour ozone standard for other states covered by the Good Neighbor Plan, including Utah, Texas, Illinois, Michigan, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia. The Good Neighbor Plan required nitrogen oxides emissions cuts from power plants, but also - for the first time - additional industry sectors, including oil and natural gas pipelines. Enforcement of the Good Neighbor Plan remains suspended pending full reconsideration. Until rulemaking is complete and litigation is exhausted, the potential impacts to the relevant Registrants cannot be determined.

<u>Regional Haze</u>

*First Planning Period*

The EPA's Regional Haze Rule, finalized in 1999, requires states to develop and implement plans to improve visibility in designated federally protected areas ("Class I areas"). In accordance with the federal requirements, states are required to submit SIPs that address emissions from sources subject to visibility requirements and demonstrate progress towards achieving natural visibility requirements in Class I areas by 2064.

On January 30, 2014, the EPA disapproved Wyoming's first planning period regional haze SIP for Dave Johnston Unit 3 and imposed a federal plan that effectively required Unit 3 to shut down by the end of 2027. On September 25, 2025, PacifiCorp and Wyoming filed petitions for reconsideration, requesting that the EPA reconsider the specific part of the SIP disapproval that resulted in the federal plan's shutdown requirement. The EPA granted the petitions for reconsideration and PacifiCorp continues to coordinate with Wyoming and the EPA on this action. On August 7, 2025, the EPA finalized approval of Wyoming's revision of its first planning period regional haze implementation plan for Jim Bridger Units 1 and 2.

------

The state of Colorado first planning period regional haze SIP requires SCR equipment at Craig Unit 2 and Hayden Units 1 and 2, in which PacifiCorp has interests. Each of those regional haze compliance projects are in-service. In addition, in February 2015, the state of Colorado finalized an amendment to its regional haze SIP relating to Craig Unit 1, in which PacifiCorp has an interest, to require the installation of SCR controls by 2021. In September 2016, the owners of Craig Units 1 and 2 reached an agreement with state and federal agencies and certain environmental groups that were parties to the previous settlement requiring SCR to retire Unit 1 by December 31, 2025, in lieu of SCR installation, or alternatively to remove the unit from coal-fueled service by August 31, 2021 with an option to convert the unit to natural gas by August 31, 2023, in lieu of SCR installation. The terms of the agreement were approved by the Colorado Air Quality Board in December 2016, incorporated into an amended Colorado regional haze SIP in 2017 and approved by the EPA in August 2018. PacifiCorp retained a December 31, 2025, retirement date for Craig Unit 1 in its 2023 IRP, which will satisfy its regional haze obligations in the state of Colorado. On December 30, 2025, the DOE issued an emergency order requiring the operators of Craig Generating Station to "take all measures necessary to ensure that Craig Unit 1 is available to operate" until at least March 30, 2026. The operators and owners are reviewing the order to determine its impact and assess compliance with the order and with other regulatory requirements.

*Second Planning Period*

Nevada, Utah and Wyoming each submitted regional haze SIPs for the regional haze second planning period to the EPA and received completeness determinations in August 2022. The EPA was required to make final determinations on the SIPs by August 2023. The states of Utah and Wyoming filed deadline suits in the Utah and Wyoming federal district courts in October and November 2023, respectively, asking the court to require the EPA to perform its statutory duty to approve or disapprove the states' regional haze second planning period SIPs. PacifiCorp also filed a deadline suit in both courts. Three environmental groups filed similar deadline suits in the federal district court in Washington, D.C. for seven different states on June 15, 2023. The environmental groups amended their lawsuit on November 10, 2023, after Wyoming and PacifiCorp's suits were filed, to include Utah's and Wyoming's state plans. PacifiCorp intervened in the D.C. district court case and asked that court to stay the Utah and Wyoming cases in that court while they proceed in the relevant federal courts in Utah and Wyoming. On August 1, 2024, the EPA proposed to partially approve and partially disapprove Wyoming's SIP for the second planning period and accepted comments on the proposal through September 3, 2024. On August 19, 2024, the EPA proposed to partially approve and partially disapprove Utah's SIP for the second planning period and accepted comments on the proposal through September 18, 2024. On December 2, 2024, the EPA finalized the partial approval and partial disapproval of Utah's and Wyoming's SIPs. The EPA finalized its approval of West Virginia's second planning period regional haze plan in July 2025, setting a precedent for other states seeking to meet haze reduction goals for 156 national parks and wilderness areas using a more gradual reduction timeline, which often means new pollution control requirements are not necessary. The EPA's approval hinges on a reframing of what states need to do to make reasonable progress toward the objective of restoring natural visibility to those lands by 2064. If states meet what is known as the "uniform rate of progress" on the way to that target, they would be deemed in compliance. The EPA believes that the policy meshes with the purpose of regional haze program regulations to achieve reasonable progress towards Congress' natural visibility goal. Several states have regional haze implementation plans pending with the EPA that are expected to be impacted by this policy which are applicable to the relevant Registrants, including Texas, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming and Nevada. Two environmental groups filed a lawsuit in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in September 2025, challenging the EPA's decision in its approval of West Virginia's plan to incorporate the uniform rate of progress policy. The outcome of that litigation may affect other SIPs that incorporate the uniform rate of progress policy. Based on the uniform rate of progress policy, the EPA approved Texas' SIP for the second planning period on December 5, 2025. The EPA partially disapproved SIPs for Arizona, Utah and Wyoming in December 2024. Arizona petitioned for reconsideration of the EPA's partial disapproval and the EPA granted the state's petition in September 2025. Wyoming and PacifiCorp filed petitions for reconsideration in January 2025 and remain in coordination with the EPA. PacifiCorp filed a petition for reconsideration of the Utah plan denial in January 2025 and remains in coordination with Utah and the EPA. On April 30, 2025, the EPA granted PacifiCorp's petition for reconsideration on its disapproval of the Utah Regional Haze SIP for the second planning period, as well as PacifiCorp's and Wyoming's petitions for reconsideration on the EPA's disapproval of the second planning period Wyoming Regional Haze SIP. Both the Utah and Wyoming plan denials were also petitioned to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals; the suits are held in abeyance while the EPA reviews the underlying decisions. The EPA proposed to approve portions of the second round regional haze SIP for Nevada in October 2025 and finalized the action February 6, 2026. The EPA determined Nevada's SIP meets the requirements related to the uniform rate of progress. The EPA plans to address reasonable progress determinations for the North Valmy Station's Units 1 and 2 and Tracy Generating Station Unit 7 (Pinyon Pine Unit 4) that were part of a 2025 SIP supplement, issued on May 28, 2025, as a separate action to allow sufficient time for the EPA's full consideration. Until rulemaking is complete and litigation exhausted, impacts on the relevant Registrants cannot be determined.

------

On August 25, 2022, the EPA promulgated a finding of failure to submit a SIP for the regional haze second planning period for 15 states, including Iowa. The finding establishes a two-year deadline for the agency to promulgate FIPs to address the requirements, unless prior to promulgating a FIP, the state submits, and the agency approves, a SIP meeting the requirements. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources issued a SIP in August 2023 that requires operational improvements to existing control equipment at MidAmerican Energy's Louisa Generation Station and Walter Scott, Jr. Energy Center - Unit 3. Iowa submitted that plan to the EPA in fall 2023. The operational improvements were implemented beginning January 1, 2024. On August 2, 2024, the EPA proposed a rule to approve Iowa's SIP as submitted. The EPA accepted comment on the proposal through September 3, 2024. On August 5, 2025, the EPA approved Iowa's SIP for the regional haze second planning period.

*Third Planning Period*

On January 6, 2026, the EPA issued a final rule that moves the deadline for states to submit state implementation plans for the regional haze rule's third implementation period from July 31, 2028, to July 31, 2031. The rule pushes back the deadline in response to persistent delays by states in submitting state implementation plans, and by the EPA in approving them, for the first and second implementation periods. The second implementation phase currently underway is focused on ensuring reasonable further progress in restoring visibility to natural conditions in Class I areas – national parks and wilderness areas. The EPA deferred action on other elements including the September 2025 proposed rule, including whether to keep or extend the existing deadline of 2064 for states to attain natural visibility conditions for their Class I areas. Until the rulemaking process is complete and litigation has been exhausted, impacts on the relevant Registrants cannot be determined.

*Coal Ash Disposal*

In April 2015, the EPA released a final rule to regulate the management and disposal of CCR under the RCRA. The rule regulates coal combustion residuals as non-hazardous waste under RCRA Subtitle D and establishes minimum nationwide standards for the disposal of CCR. Under the final rule, surface impoundments and landfills utilized for coal combustion residuals will need to be closed unless they can meet the more stringent regulatory requirements.

On August 28, 2025, the EPA proposed to approve Wyoming's coal combustion residuals permit program. A final determination is expected in early 2026. If finalized as proposed, the state will have authority to manage disposal of coal combustion residuals in surface impoundments and landfills in Wyoming, replacing the current federal self-implementing program and bringing PacifiCorp coal ash units at Jim Bridger, Dave Johnston and Naughton under the state program. The pending approval excludes provisions related to legacy CCR units, suspension of groundwater monitoring and alternate groundwater protection standards for constituents without maximum contaminant levels. As a result, facilities must comply with both Wyoming's rules and applicable federal requirements for these excluded provisions. PacifiCorp submitted comments in support of the EPA's proposed approval of the state of Wyoming's Coal Combustion Residuals permit program by the November 3, 2025, deadline. Until the rule is finalized and litigation is exhausted, impacts on the relevant Registrants cannot be determined.

On November 28, 2025, the EPA issued a proposed rule to extend the closure deadline for certain coal combustion residuals surface impoundments operating under alternative closure provisions. The rule would defer the deadline from October 17, 2028, to October 17, 2031, to cease operation of coal-fueled boilers and complete the closure of unlined coal combustion residual surface impoundments larger than 40 acres. The subset of impoundments affected by the proposed rule are those that submitted alternative closure demonstrations in 2020 under the Part A rule. The EPA has not taken final action on the Part A demonstrations at issue in this proposed extension rule. PacifiCorp's Naughton Plan submitted a Part A demonstration in November 2020 for its South Ash Pond, which is identified as one of the potentially affected surface impoundments in the proposed rule. The EPA accepted comments on the proposed rule through February 6, 2026. Until rulemaking is complete and litigation is exhausted, impacts on the relevant Registrants cannot be determined.

Notwithstanding the status of the final CCR rule, citizens' suits have been filed against regulated entities seeking judicial relief for contamination alleged to have been caused by releases of coal combustion residuals. Some of these cases have been successful in imposing liability upon companies if coal combustion residuals contaminate groundwater that is ultimately released or connected to surface water. In addition, actions have been filed against regulated entities seeking to require that surface impoundments containing CCR be subject to closure by removal rather than being allowed to effectuate closure in place as provided under the final rule. The Registrants are not a party to these lawsuits and until they are resolved, the Registrants cannot predict the impact on overall compliance obligations.

------

*Mandatory Climate Change Disclosures*

In October 2023, California enacted three climate-related disclosure laws. Because Berkshire Hathaway Energy does business in California and exceeds certain applicability thresholds, it is subject to all three laws. Reporting under all three statutes covers Berkshire Hathaway Energy's global operations, including operating companies that otherwise do not do business in California. Under California's Voluntary Market Disclosure Act, authorized by Assembly Bill 1305, companies must make certain disclosures if they make claims in California regarding greenhouse gas emissions reductions or if they market, sell, purchase or use voluntary carbon offsets. Berkshire Hathaway Energy posted its disclosure on December 31, 2024 on its company website, with the required information concerning statements about its greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Berkshire Hathaway Energy is preparing consolidated disclosures of its scopes 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions and the financial risks of climate change to the business. Under California's Corporate Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, authorized by Senate Bill 253, as amended, Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions must be reported to California beginning in 2026. While the reporting timeline has not been finalized, the Company anticipates a compliance deadline of August 10, 2026. Scope 3 emissions are not required to be reported until 2027. Under California's Climate-Related Financial Risk Disclosure Program, authorized by Senate Bill 261, as amended, a report discussing the financial impacts of climate change to the business, consistent with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework, must be posted to the Company's public website by January 1, 2026. The Company is monitoring litigation challenging both SB 253 and SB 261 to assess impacts on compliance obligations. On November 18, 2025, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order staying enforcement of SB 261, but denied requests to stay enforcement of SB 253. The court heard oral argument in the case on January 9, 2026, and is expected to issue a decision by summer 2026.

*Federal Permitting Moratoria for Renewable Energy*

On January 20, 2025, the Trump Administration released a Presidential Memorandum temporarily placing a halt on offshore wind leasing and on federal permitting for onshore wind facilities. The memorandum calls for a "temporary cessation and immediate review" of federal wind permitting for onshore wind. This directive covers "new or renewed approvals, rights of way, permits, leases, or loans for onshore or offshore wind projects" pending the completion of a comprehensive assessment and review of federal wind leasing and permitting practices. The memorandum does not provide a timeline for the Secretary of the Interior to complete its review. It also does not provide any guidance on the alleged deficiencies in the permitting process that are to be addressed. Between January and August 2025, the U.S. Department of Interior ("DOI') issued a number of orders to implement the Presidential Memorandum and enact a significant federal policy shift concerning renewable energy. Seventeen states, the District of Columbia, and the Alliance for Clean Energy New York challenged the Presidential Memorandum in U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. On December 8, 2025, the court found the memorandum to be arbitrary and capricious and contrary to law and directed that it be vacated in full, meaning the ruling applies nationwide. However, the various directives issued by federal agencies limited access to federal permits or increasing the regulatory requirements for wind and solar projects do not rely on the Presidential Memorandum, so the district court's order is not expected to directly affect them. On December 23, 2025, eight regional renewable energy trade associations filed suit in Massachusetts district court challenging six actions by federal agencies that have blocked or curtailed permitting for renewable energy projects and have requested a preliminary injunction of these actions. Applicable to the relevant Registrants, the challenged administrative actions include the DOI's policy requiring review and approval by three of the department's most senior officials for each discretionary action related to wind and solar projects; a memorandum from the Corps requiring consideration of capacity density when reviewing applications for individual permits under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act; and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's prohibition on wind facilities obtaining permits authorizing the take of eagles under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Until litigation is exhausted, impacts on the relevant Registrants cannot be determined.

*Other*

Other laws, regulations and agencies to which the relevant Registrants are subject include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and similar state laws may require any current or former owners or operators of a disposal site, as well as transporters or generators of hazardous substances sent to such disposal site, to share in environmental remediation costs. Certain Registrants have been identified as potentially responsible parties in connection with certain disposal sites. The relevant Registrants have completed several cleanup actions and are participating in ongoing investigations and remedial actions. Costs associated with these actions are not expected to be material and are expected to be found prudent and included in rates.

The Registrants expect they will be allowed to recover their respective prudently incurred costs to comply with the environmental laws and regulations discussed above. The Registrants' planning efforts take into consideration the complexity of balancing factors such as: (a) pending environmental regulations and requirements to reduce emissions, address waste disposal, ensure water quality and protect wildlife; (b) avoidance of excessive reliance on any one generation technology; (c) costs and trade-offs of various resource options including energy efficiency, demand response programs and renewable generation; (d) state-specific energy policies, resource preferences and economic development efforts; (e) additional transmission investment to reduce power costs and increase efficiency and reliability of the integrated transmission system; and (f) keeping rates affordable. Due to the number of generating units impacted by environmental regulations, deferring installation of compliance-related projects is often not feasible or cost effective and places the Registrants at risk of not having access to necessary capital, material, and labor while attempting to perform major equipment installations in a compressed timeframe concurrent with other utilities across the country. Therefore, the Registrants have established installation schedules with permitting agencies that coordinate compliance timeframes with construction and tie-in of major environmental compliance projects as units are scheduled off-line for planned maintenance outages; these coordinated efforts help reduce costs associated with replacement power and maintain system reliability.

**Item 1A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Risk Factors**

Each Registrant is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described below. Careful consideration of these risks, together with all of the other information included in this Form 10-K and the other public information filed by the relevant Registrant, should be made before making an investment decision. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known or which each Registrant currently deems immaterial may also impair its business operations. Unless stated otherwise, the risks described below generally relate to each Registrant.

**<u>Liquidity, Capital Requirements and Corporate Structure Risks</u>**

***BHE and EEGH are holding companies and depend on distributions from subsidiaries, including joint ventures, to meet their obligations.***

BHE and EEGH are holding companies with no material assets other than the investment interests in their subsidiaries and joint ventures, collectively referred to as subsidiaries. Accordingly, the cash flows of BHE and EEGH and the ability to meet their obligations are largely dependent upon the earnings of their respective subsidiaries and the payment of such earnings to BHE or EEGH in the form of dividends or other distributions. As a result of material wildfire litigation at PacifiCorp, no dividends will be paid to BHE by PacifiCorp over the next several years, which could impact BHE's ability to fund its operations, make interest payments, fund debt maturities and increase BHE's reliance on debt.

Prior to funding the obligations of BHE or EEGH, their respective subsidiaries, including the Subsidiary Registrants, have financial obligations and certain regulatory restrictions that must be satisfied. Each respective subsidiary is a separate and distinct legal entity and has no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay amounts due pursuant to BHE's or EEGH's debt or other obligations, or to make funds available, whether by dividends or other payments, for the payment of amounts due pursuant to BHE's or EEGH's debt or other obligations, and do not guarantee the payment of any of BHE's or EEGH's obligations. Distributions from subsidiaries may also be limited by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PacifiCorp's liquidity concerns resulting from wildfire litigation (described below);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• their respective earnings, capital requirements, and required debt payments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the satisfaction of certain terms contained in financing, ring-fencing or organizational documents; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulatory restrictions that limit the ability of BHE's regulated utility subsidiaries to distribute profits.

***The Registrants are substantially leveraged, the terms of their existing debt do not restrict the incurrence of additional debt by BHE or its subsidiaries, including the Subsidiary Registrants, and BHE's debt is structurally subordinated to the debt of its subsidiaries, including the Subsidiary Registrants, and each of such factors could adversely affect the Registrants' financial results.***

A significant portion of BHE's capital structure is comprised of debt, and BHE expects to incur additional debt in the future to fund items such as, among others, acquisitions, capital investments and the development and construction of new or expanded facilities. As of December 31, 2025, BHE had the following outstanding obligations:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• senior unsecured debt of $11.5 billion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• commercial paper borrowings of $— million; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• guarantees, letters of credit and surety bonds in respect of subsidiaries, equity method investments and other related parties aggregating $3.9 billion.

BHE's consolidated subsidiaries, including the Subsidiary Registrants, also have significant amounts of outstanding debt, which totaled $47.8 billion as of December 31, 2025, and expect to incur additional debt in the future to fund items such as, among others, acquisitions, capital investments and the development and construction of new or expanded facilities. These amounts exclude (a) trade debt, (b) preferred stock obligations, (c) letters of credit in respect of subsidiary debt, and (d) BHE's share of the outstanding debt of its own or its subsidiaries' equity method investments. PacifiCorp may also incur additional debt in the future in response to impacts associated with wildfire litigation as described under "PacifiCorp Wildfire Litigation Related Risks" below.

Given each Registrant's substantial leverage, a Registrant may not have sufficient cash to service its debt, which could limit its ability to finance future acquisitions, develop and construct additional projects, or operate successfully under difficult conditions, including those brought on by adverse national and global economies, unfavorable financial markets or growth

------

conditions where its capital needs may exceed its ability to fund them. Each Registrant's leverage could also impair its credit quality or the credit quality of its subsidiaries, making it more difficult to finance operations or issue future debt on favorable terms, and could result in a downgrade in debt ratings by credit rating agencies. Refer to "PacifiCorp Wildfire Litigation Risks" below for additional information regarding PacifiCorp.

The terms of BHE's and its subsidiaries' debt, including the Subsidiary Registrants, do not limit BHE's ability or the ability of its subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock. Accordingly, BHE or its subsidiaries could enter into acquisitions, new financings, refinancings, recapitalizations, leases or other highly leveraged transactions that could significantly increase BHE's or its subsidiaries' total amount of outstanding debt. The interest payments needed to service this increased level of debt could adversely affect BHE's or its subsidiaries' financial results. Many of BHE's subsidiaries' debt agreements contain covenants, or may in the future contain covenants, that restrict or limit, among other things, such subsidiaries' ability to create liens, sell assets, make certain distributions, incur additional debt or miss contractual deadlines or requirements, and BHE's ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond its control. Further, if an event of default accelerates a repayment obligation and such acceleration results in an event of default under some or all of BHE's other debt, BHE may not have sufficient funds to repay all of the accelerated debt simultaneously, and the other risks described under "Corporate and Financial Structure Risks" may be magnified as well.

Because BHE is a holding company, the claims of its debt holders are structurally subordinated with respect to the assets and earnings of its subsidiaries. Therefore, the rights of its creditors to participate in the assets of any subsidiary in the event of a liquidation or reorganization are subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary's creditors and preferred shareholders, if any. In the event of default due to the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of a significant subsidiary, all of BHE's debt will become immediately due. In addition, pursuant to separate financing agreements, substantially all of PacifiCorp's electric utility properties, MidAmerican Energy's electric utility properties in the state of Iowa, Nevada Power's and Sierra Pacific's properties in the state of Nevada, AltaLink's transmission properties, the equity interest of MidAmerican Funding's subsidiary and substantially all of the assets of the subsidiaries of BHE Renewables that are direct or indirect owners of solar and wind generation projects, are directly or indirectly pledged to secure their financings and, therefore, may be unavailable as potential sources of repayment of BHE's debt.

***A downgrade in BHE's credit ratings or the credit ratings of its subsidiaries, could negatively affect BHE's or its subsidiaries' access to capital, increase the cost of borrowing or raise energy transaction credit support requirements.***

BHE's senior unsecured debt and its subsidiaries' long-term debt, including the Subsidiary Registrants, are rated by various rating agencies. BHE cannot give assurance that its senior unsecured debt rating or any of its subsidiaries' long-term debt ratings will not be reduced in the future. Although none of the Registrants' outstanding debt has rating-downgrade triggers that would accelerate a repayment obligation, a credit rating downgrade would increase any such Registrant's borrowing costs and commitment fees on its revolving credit agreements and other financing arrangements, perhaps significantly. In addition, such Registrant would likely be required to pay a higher interest rate in future financings, the potential pool of investors would likely decrease and depending on the rating, require some investors to sell the Registrants' bonds. Further, access to the commercial paper market could be significantly limited, resulting in higher interest costs.

Similarly, any downgrade, change in rating methodology impacting subsidiaries credit rating, placement on negative outlook or credit watch or other event negatively affecting the credit ratings of BHE's subsidiaries could make their costs of borrowing higher or access to funding sources more limited, which in turn could cause BHE to provide liquidity in the form of capital contributions or loans to such subsidiaries, thus reducing its and its subsidiaries' liquidity and borrowing capacity; however BHE is not obligated to provide liquidity to its subsidiaries.

Most of the Registrants' large wholesale customers, suppliers and counterparties require such Registrant to have sufficient creditworthiness in order to enter into transactions, particularly in the wholesale energy markets. If the credit ratings of a Registrant were to decline, especially below investment grade, the relevant Registrant's financing costs and borrowings would likely increase because certain counterparties may require collateral in the form of cash, a letter of credit or some other form of security for existing transactions and as a condition to entering into future transactions with such Registrant. Amounts could be material and could adversely affect such Registrant's liquidity and cash flows.

Refer to "PacifiCorp Wildfire Litigation Related Risks" section below for additional information regarding PacifiCorp.

------

***Disruptions in the financial markets could affect each Registrant's ability to obtain debt financing or to draw upon or renew existing credit facilities and have other adverse effects on each Registrant.***

Disruptions in the financial markets could affect each Registrant's ability to obtain debt financing or to draw upon or renew existing credit facilities and have other adverse effects on each Registrant. Significant dislocations and liquidity disruptions in the U.S., Great Britain, Canada and global credit markets, such as those that occurred in 2008, 2009 and 2020, may materially impact liquidity in the bank and debt capital markets, making financing terms less attractive for borrowers that are able to find financing and, in other cases, may cause certain types of debt financing, or any financing, to be unavailable. Additionally, economic uncertainty in the U.S. or globally may adversely affect the U.S. credit markets and could negatively impact each Registrant's ability to access funds on favorable terms or at all. If a Registrant is unable to access the bank and debt markets to meet liquidity and capital expenditure needs, it may adversely affect the timing and amount of its capital expenditures, acquisition financing and its financial results.

***Poor performance of plan and fund investments and other factors impacting the pension and other postretirement benefit plans and nuclear decommissioning and mine reclamation trust funds could unfavorably impact each Registrant's cash flows, liquidity and financial results.***

Costs of providing each Registrant's defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans and costs associated with the joint trustee plan to which PacifiCorp contributes depend upon a number of factors, including the rates of return on plan assets, the level and nature of benefits provided, discount rates, mortality assumptions, the interest rates used to measure required minimum funding levels, the funded status of the plans, changes in benefit design, tax deductibility and funding limits, changes in laws and government regulation and each Registrant's required or voluntary contributions made to the plans. Furthermore, the timing of recognition of unrecognized gains and losses associated with the Registrants' defined benefit pension plans is subject to volatility due to events that may give rise to settlement accounting. Settlement events resulting from lump sum distributions offered by certain of the Registrants' defined benefit pension plans are influenced by the interest rates used to discount a participant's lump sum distribution. When the applicable interest rates are low, lump sum distributions in a given year tend to increase resulting in a higher likelihood of triggering settlement accounting.

If the Registrant's pension or other postretirement benefit plans are in underfunded positions, the respective Registrant may be required to make cash contributions to fund such underfunded plans in the future. Additionally, each Registrant's plans have investments in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities and other investments that are subject to the risk of loss. Losses from investments could add to the volatility, size and timing of future contributions.

Furthermore, the funded status of the UMWA 1974 Pension Plan multiemployer plan to which PacifiCorp's subsidiary previously contributed is considered critical and declining. PacifiCorp's subsidiary involuntarily withdrew from the UMWA 1974 Pension Plan in June 2015 when the UMWA employees ceased performing work for the subsidiary. PacifiCorp has recorded its best estimate of the withdrawal obligation.

In addition, MidAmerican Energy is required to fund over time the projected costs of decommissioning Quad Cities Station, a nuclear generating facility, and Bridger Coal Company, a joint venture of PacifiCorp's subsidiary, Pacific Minerals, Inc., is required to fund projected mine reclamation costs. The funds that MidAmerican Energy has invested in a nuclear decommissioning trust and a subsidiary of PacifiCorp has invested in a mine reclamation trust are invested in debt and equity securities and poor performance of these investments will reduce the amount of funds available for their intended purpose, which could require MidAmerican Energy or PacifiCorp's subsidiary to make additional cash contributions. As contributions to the trust are being made over the operating life of the respective facility, reductions in the expected operating life of the facility could also require MidAmerican Energy and PacifiCorp's subsidiary to make additional contributions to the related trust. Such cash funding obligations, which are also impacted by the other factors described above, could have a material impact on MidAmerican Energy's or PacifiCorp's liquidity by reducing their available cash. Additionally, PacifiCorp's mine reclamation obligation for Bridger Coal Company is secured by a surety bond. Refer to "PacifiCorp Wildfire Litigation Related Risks" below for additional information regarding PacifiCorp.

***BHE's shareholder, Berkshire Hathaway, could exercise control over BHE in a manner that would benefit Berkshire Hathaway to the detriment of BHE's creditors and BHE could exercise control over the Subsidiary Registrants in a manner that would benefit BHE to the detriment of the Subsidiary Registrants' creditors.***

Berkshire Hathaway holds all of the common stock of BHE and has control over all decisions requiring shareholder approval. In circumstances involving a conflict of interest between Berkshire Hathaway and BHE's creditors, Berkshire Hathaway could exercise its control in a manner that would benefit Berkshire Hathaway to the detriment of BHE's creditors.

------

BHE indirectly holds all of the common stock of PacifiCorp, Nevada Power, Sierra Pacific and EGTS and the membership interest in Eastern Energy Gas. BHE is also the sole member of MidAmerican Funding and, accordingly, indirectly holds all of MidAmerican Energy's common stock. As a result, BHE has control over all decisions requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors. In circumstances involving a conflict of interest between BHE and the creditors of the Subsidiary Registrants, BHE could exercise its control in a manner that would benefit BHE to the detriment of the Subsidiary Registrants' creditors.

**<u>PacifiCorp Wildfire Litigation Related Risks</u>**

***PacifiCorp's litigation risk associated with the Wildfires and the potential impacts of CMO NO. 11 are inherently uncertain and the ultimate outcomes of the associated claims and the James appeals could materially and adversely affect PacifiCorp's financial condition and results of operations and its ability to obtain financing, to fund its operations, capital investments and settlements arising from the Wildfires.***

*Wildfire Litigation*

A substantial number of complaints and demands associated with the 2020 Wildfires have been filed in Oregon and California, including the *James* class action complaint, for which a June 2023 Jury verdict found PacifiCorp's conduct grossly negligent, reckless and willful. Additionally, multiple complaints associated with the 2022 McKinney Fire have been filed in California. PacifiCorp may be subject to additional complaints and demands (collectively "actions") associated with the Wildfires and additional plaintiffs may be added to the *James* class action complaint. The amounts specified in the original filed actions do not limit the amount of damages that ultimately may be awarded in a court proceeding; therefore PacifiCorp's liability for damages could be substantially greater than the original amounts specified and its estimated losses. While certain settlements associated with the Wildfires have occurred, PacifiCorp cannot be certain that additional settlements can be achieved on terms it finds reasonable, if at all.

PacifiCorp has and intends to appeal adverse decisions associated with the Wildfires, and while final determination of its liability could take several years, the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon granted PacifiCorp's motion for expedited oral argument in the *James* appeal. Refer to Item 3. Legal Proceedings, BHE's Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K and PacifiCorp's Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information on the Wildfires, including settlement activities, *James* verdicts, CMO No. 11 and the pending *James* appeals.

*Liquidity and Potential Impacts of CMO No. 11*

As a result of the litigation risk and estimated losses recorded to date associated with the Wildfires, PacifiCorp's liquidity has been materially impacted and its credit ratings have been downgraded. Based on the volume of *James* damages phase trials scheduled under Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon in CMO No. 11, combined with the requirement to bond judgments for each verdict and potential additional impacts on PacifiCorp's credit rating, PacifiCorp may be unable to obtain the necessary funding to meet its liquidity needs.

While judgments awarded in *James* to date have been supported by surety bonds, they can also be supported by posting letters of credit or cash. PacifiCorp estimates damages awarded in additional *James* jury verdicts will exceed its available surety bond and letter of credit capacity, requiring cash bonding thereafter. PacifiCorp expects additional debt financings, including potential borrowings under its $2.0 billion credit facility to the extent available, or other sources of funding will be needed to provide liquidity to post cash for judgments. These bonding requirements will weaken PacifiCorp's credit metrics, which could result in a downgrade of PacifiCorp's senior secured debt to below investment grade. Such a downgrade may result in the loss of surety bond and letter of credit capacity, trigger cash collateral calls for surety bonds posted and trigger cash collateral calls or other forms of security for wholesale energy agreements that contain credit risk-related contingent features or rights to demand adequate assurance in the event of a material adverse change in PacifiCorp's creditworthiness. Additionally, a downgrade of PacifiCorp's senior secured debt below investment grade would require new regulatory applications and approvals due to certain authorizations or exemptions currently in place with certain regulatory commissions for the issuance of securities. PacifiCorp may also be subject to borrowing limitations under its long-term debt covenants.

In the event of a downgrade below investment grade and the caseload under CMO No. 11 progresses as scheduled, PacifiCorp may be unable to secure sufficient debt financings or alternative funding sources to support ongoing operations, including the ability to absorb wholesale power volatility, pay suppliers and meet debt obligations, and such liquidity issues may impact transmission and generation development, purchasing power in the market, building and upgrading substations, connecting new customers, addressing outages and maintaining system resilience. Investors in PacifiCorp's first mortgage bonds may be unable

------

to hold existing bonds or to invest in new bonds, and perceived risks associated with the Wildfires may limit PacifiCorp's ability to attract investors. At a minimum, the cost of any short- or long-term financing is expected to be higher as a result of the wildfire litigation risks and decline in PacifiCorp's credit ratings.

Refer to Item 7 "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for further information regarding the liquidity impacts arising from the Wildfires.

**<u>Regulatory, Legislative and Legal Risks</u>**

***Each Registrant may be subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign legislation and regulation, including numerous environmental, health, safety, reliability, data privacy and other laws and regulations that may affect its operations and costs. These laws and regulations are complex, dynamic and subject to new interpretations or change. In addition, new laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, initiatives regarding deregulation and restructuring of the utility industry, are continually being proposed and enacted that may impose new or revised requirements or standards on each Registrant.***

Each Registrant is required to comply with numerous federal, state, local or foreign laws and regulations as described in "General Regulation" and "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Item 1 of this Form 10-K that have broad application to each Registrant and limits the respective Registrant's ability to independently make and implement management decisions regarding, among other items, acquiring businesses; constructing, acquiring, disposing or retiring operating assets; operating and maintaining generating facilities and transmission and distribution system assets; complying with pipeline safety and integrity and environmental requirements; setting rates charged to customers; establishing capital structures and issuing debt or equity securities; managing and reporting transactions between subsidiaries and affiliates; and paying dividends or similar distributions. These laws and regulations, which are followed in developing the Registrants' safety and compliance programs and procedures, are implemented and enforced by federal, state and local regulatory agencies, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the FERC, the EPA, the DOT, the NRC, the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration and various state regulatory commissions in the U.S., and by foreign regulatory agencies, such as GEMA, which discharges certain of its powers through its staff within Ofgem, in Great Britain and the AUC in Alberta, Canada.

Compliance with applicable laws and regulations generally requires each Registrant to obtain and comply with a wide variety of licenses, permits, inspections, audits and other approvals. Further, compliance with laws and regulations can require significant capital and operating expenditures, including expenditures for new equipment, inspection, cleanup costs, removal and remediation costs and damages arising out of contaminated properties. Compliance activities pursuant to existing or new laws and regulations could be prohibitively expensive or otherwise uneconomical. As a result, each Registrant could be required to shut down some facilities or materially alter its operations. Further, each Registrant may not be able to obtain or maintain all required environmental or other regulatory approvals and permits for its operating assets or development projects. Delays in, or active opposition by third parties to, obtaining any required environmental or regulatory authorizations or failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the authorizations may increase costs or prevent or delay each Registrant from operating its facilities, developing or favorably locating new facilities or expanding existing facilities. If any Registrant fails to comply with any environmental or other regulatory requirements, such Registrant may be subject to penalties and fines or other sanctions, including changes to the way its electricity generating facilities are operated that may adversely impact generation or how the Pipeline Companies are permitted to operate their systems that may adversely impact throughput. The costs of complying with laws and regulations could adversely affect each Registrant's financial results. Not being able to operate existing facilities or develop new generating facilities to meet customer electricity needs could require such Registrant to increase its purchases of electricity on the wholesale market, which could increase market and price risks and adversely affect such Registrant's financial results.

Existing laws and regulations, while comprehensive, are subject to changes and revisions from ongoing policy initiatives by legislators and regulators and to interpretations that may ultimately be resolved by the courts. For example, changes in laws and regulations could result in, but are not limited to, increased competition and decreased revenue within each Registrant's service territories; new environmental or climate-related requirements; RPS and GHG emissions reduction goals; the issuance of new or stricter air quality standards; the implementation of energy efficiency mandates; the issuance of regulations governing the management and disposal of coal combustion byproducts; changes in forecasting requirements; changes to each Registrant's service territories as a result of condemnation or takeover by municipalities or other governmental entities, particularly where it lacks the exclusive right to serve its customers; the inability of each Registrant to recover its costs on a timely basis, if at all; new pipeline safety requirements; or a negative impact on each Registrant's current cost recovery arrangements. In addition to changes in existing legislation and regulation, new laws and regulations are likely to be enacted from time to time that impose additional or new requirements or standards on each Registrant. Adverse rulings in GHG-related cases could result in increased or changed regulations and could increase costs for GHG emitters, including the Registrants' generating facilities. The GHG

------

rules, changes to those rules, and the Registrants' compliance requirements are subject to potential outcomes from proceedings and litigation challenging the rules.

New federal, regional, state and international accords, legislation, regulation, or judicial proceedings limiting GHG emissions could have a material adverse impact on the Registrants, the U.S. and the global economy. Companies and industries with higher GHG emissions, such as utilities with significant coal-fueled generating facilities, will be subject to more direct impacts and greater financial and regulatory risks. The impact is dependent on numerous factors, none of which can be meaningfully quantified at this time. These factors include, but are not limited to, the magnitude and timing of GHG emissions reduction requirements; the design of the requirements; the cost, availability and effectiveness of emissions control technology; the price, distribution method and availability of offsets and allowances used for compliance; government-imposed compliance costs; and the existence and nature of incremental cost recovery mechanisms. Examples of how new requirements may impact the Registrants include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Additional costs may be incurred to purchase required emissions allowances under any market-based cap-and-trade system in excess of allocations that are received at no cost. These purchases would be necessary until new technologies could be developed and deployed to reduce emissions or lower carbon generation is available;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Acquiring and renewing construction and operating permits for new and existing generating facilities may be costly and difficult;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Additional costs may be incurred to purchase and deploy new generating technologies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Costs may be incurred to retire existing coal-fueled generating facilities before the end of their otherwise useful lives or to convert them to burn fuels, such as natural gas or biomass, that result in lower emissions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operating costs may be higher and generating unit outputs may be lower;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Higher interest and financing costs and reduced access to capital markets may result to the extent that financial markets view climate change and GHG emissions as a greater business risk; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The relevant Registrant's natural gas pipeline operations and capacity sales, electric transmission and retail sales may be impacted in response to changes in customer demand and requirements to reduce GHG emissions.

The impact of events or conditions caused by climate change, whether from natural processes or human activities, are uncertain and could vary widely, from highly localized to worldwide, and the extent to which a utility's operations may be affected is uncertain. Climate change may cause physical and financial risks through, among other things, sea level rise, changes in precipitation and extreme weather events. Consumer demand for energy may increase or decrease, based on overall changes in weather and as customers promote lower energy consumption through the continued use of energy efficiency programs or other means. Availability of resources to generate electricity, such as water for hydroelectric production and cooling purposes, may also be impacted by climate change and could influence the Registrants' existing and future electricity generating portfolio. These issues may have a direct impact on the costs of electricity production and increase the price customers pay or their demand for electricity.

Implementing actions required under, and otherwise complying with, new federal and state laws and regulations and changes in existing ones are among the most challenging aspects of managing utility operations. The Registrants cannot accurately predict the type or scope of future laws and regulations that may be enacted, changes in existing ones or new interpretations by agency orders or court decisions, nor can each Registrant determine their impact on it at this time; however, any one of these could adversely affect each Registrant's financial results through higher capital expenditures and operating costs, early closure of generating facilities or lower tax benefits or restrict or otherwise cause an adverse change in how each Registrant operates its business. To the extent that each Registrant is not allowed by its regulators to recover or cannot otherwise recover the costs to comply with new laws and regulations or changes in existing ones, the costs of complying with such additional requirements could have a material adverse effect on the relevant Registrant's financial results. Additionally, even if such costs are recoverable in rates, if they are substantial and result in rates increasing to levels that substantially reduce customer demand, this could have a material adverse effect on the relevant Registrant's financial results.

------

***Recovery of costs and certain activities by each Registrant is subject to regulatory review and approval, and the inability to recover costs or undertake certain activities may adversely affect each Registrant's financial results.***

*State Regulatory Rate Review Proceedings*

The Utilities establish rates for their regulated retail services through state regulatory proceedings. These proceedings typically involve multiple parties, including government bodies and officials, consumer advocacy groups and various consumers of energy, who have differing concerns but generally have the common objective of limiting rate increases or requesting rate decreases while also requiring the Utilities to ensure system reliability. Decisions are subject to judicial appeal, potentially leading to further uncertainty associated with the approval proceedings.

States set retail rates for consumers within their jurisdiction based in part upon the state regulatory commission's acceptance of an allocated share of total utility costs. When states adopt different methods to calculate interjurisdictional cost allocations, some costs may not be incorporated into rates of any state or other jurisdiction. Ratemaking is also generally done on the basis of estimates of normalized costs, so if a given year's realized costs are higher than normalized costs, rates may not be sufficient to cover those costs. In some cases, actual costs are lower than the normalized or estimated costs recovered through rates and from time-to-time may result in a state regulator requiring refunds to customers. Each state regulatory commission generally sets rates based on a test year established in accordance with that commission's policies. The test year data adopted by each state regulatory commission may create a lag between the incurrence of a cost and its recovery in rates. Each state regulatory commission also decides the allowed levels of expense, investment and capital structure that it deems are prudently incurred in providing the service and may disallow recovery in rates for any costs that it believes do not meet such standard. Additionally, each state regulatory commission establishes the allowed rate of return the Utilities will be given an opportunity to earn on their sources of capital. While rate regulation is premised on providing a fair opportunity to earn a reasonable rate of return on invested capital, the state regulatory commissions do not guarantee that each Registrant will be able to realize the allowed rate of return or recover all of its costs even if it believes such costs to be prudently incurred.

Some state regulatory commissions have authorized recovery of certain costs above the level assumed in establishing base rates through adjustment mechanisms, which may be subject to customer sharing. Any significant increase in fuel costs for electricity generation or purchased electricity costs could have a negative impact on the Utilities, despite efforts to minimize this impact through the use of hedging contracts and adjustment mechanisms or through future general regulatory rate reviews. Further, interjurisdictional cost allocation constraints could limit PacifiCorp's ability to recover such costs despite the adjustment mechanisms. Any of these consequences could adversely affect each Registrant's financial results.

*FERC and Other Jurisdictions*

The FERC authorizes cost-based rates associated with transmission services provided by the Utilities' transmission facilities. Under the Federal Power Act, the Utilities, or MISO as it relates to MidAmerican Energy, may voluntarily file, or may be obligated to file, for changes, including general rate changes, to their system-wide transmission service rates. General rate changes implemented may be subject to refund. The FERC also has responsibility for approving both cost- and market-based rates under which the Utilities sell electricity in the wholesale market, has jurisdiction over most of PacifiCorp's hydroelectric generating facilities and has broad jurisdiction over energy markets. The FERC may impose price limitations, bidding rules and other mechanisms to address some of the volatility of these markets or could revoke or restrict the ability of the Utilities to sell electricity at market-based rates, which could adversely affect each Registrant's financial results. The FERC also maintains rules concerning standards of conduct, affiliate restrictions, interlocking directorates and cross-subsidization. As a transmission owning member of MISO, MidAmerican Energy is also subject to MISO-directed modifications of market rules, which are subject to FERC approval and operational procedures. As participants in EIM, PacifiCorp, Nevada Power and Sierra Pacific are also subject to applicable California ISO rules, which are subject to FERC approval and operational procedures. The FERC may also impose substantial civil penalties for any non-compliance with the Federal Power Act and the FERC's rules and orders.

The NERC has standards in place to ensure the reliability of the electric generation system and transmission grid. The Utilities are subject to the NERC's regulations and periodic audits to ensure compliance with those regulations. The NERC may carry out enforcement actions for non-compliance and administer significant financial penalties, subject to the FERC's review.

The FERC has jurisdiction over, among other things, the construction, abandonment, modification and operation of natural gas pipelines and related facilities used in the transportation, storage and sale of natural gas in interstate commerce, including all rates, charges and terms and conditions of service. The FERC also has market transparency authority and has adopted additional reporting and internet posting requirements for natural gas pipelines and buyers and sellers of natural gas.

------

Rates for the interstate natural gas transmission and storage operations at the Pipeline Companies, which include reservation, commodity, surcharges, fuel and gas lost and unaccounted for charges, are authorized by the FERC. In accordance with the FERC's ratemaking principles, the Pipeline Companies' current maximum tariff rates are designed to recover prudently incurred costs included in their pipeline systems' regulatory cost of service that are associated with the construction, operation and maintenance of their pipeline systems and to afford the Pipeline Companies an opportunity to earn a reasonable rate of return. Nevertheless, the rates the FERC authorizes the Pipeline Companies to charge their customers may not be sufficient to recover the costs incurred to provide services in any given period. Moreover, from time to time, the FERC may change, alter or refine its policies or methodologies for establishing pipeline rates and terms and conditions of service. In addition, the FERC has the authority under Section 5 of the NGA to investigate whether a pipeline may be earning more than its allowed rate of return and, when appropriate, to institute proceedings against such pipeline to prospectively reduce rates. Any such proceedings, if instituted, could result in significantly adverse rate decreases.

Under FERC policy, interstate pipelines and their customers may execute contracts at negotiated rates, which may be above or below the maximum tariff rate for that service or the pipeline may agree to provide a discounted rate, which would be a rate between the maximum and minimum tariff rates. In a rate proceeding, rates in these contracts are generally not subject to adjustment. It is possible that the cost to perform services under negotiated or discounted rate contracts will exceed the cost used in the determination of the negotiated or discounted rates, which could result either in losses or lower rates of return for providing such services. Under certain circumstances, FERC policy allows interstate natural gas pipelines to design new maximum tariff rates to recover such costs in regulatory rate reviews. However, with respect to discounts granted to affiliates, the interstate natural gas pipeline must demonstrate that the discounted rate was necessary in order to meet competition.

The Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies, as DNOs and holders of electricity distribution licenses, are subject to regulation by GEMA. Most of the revenue of a DNO is controlled by a distribution price control formula set out in the electricity distribution license. The price control formula does not directly constrain profits from year-to-year but is a control on revenue that operates independent of a significant portion of the DNO's actual costs. A resetting of the formula does not require the consent of the DNO, but if a licensee disagrees with a change to its license, it can appeal the matter to the United Kingdom's CMA. GEMA is able to impose financial penalties on DNOs that contravene any of their electricity distribution license duties or certain of their duties under British law or fail to achieve satisfactory performance of individual standards prescribed by GEMA. Any penalty imposed must be reasonable and may not exceed 10% of the DNO's revenue. During the term of any price control, additional costs have a direct impact on the financial results of the Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies.

The AUC is an independent, quasi-judicial agency established by the province of Alberta, Canada, which is responsible for, among other things, approving the tariffs of transmission facility owners, including AltaLink, and distribution utilities, acquisitions of such transmission facility owners or utilities, and construction and operation of new transmission projects in Alberta. The AUC also investigates and rules on regulated rate disputes, system access problems and market participant conduct.

The AUC regulates and oversees Alberta's electricity transmission sector with broad authority that may impact many of AltaLink's activities, including its tariffs, rates, construction, operations and financing. In addition, AUC approval is required in connection with new energy and regulated utility initiatives in Alberta, amendments to existing approvals and financing proposals by designated utilities.

***Each Registrant is involved in a variety of legal proceedings, the outcomes of which are uncertain and could adversely affect its financial results.***

Each Registrant is, and in the future may become, a party to a variety of legal proceedings. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the Registrants cannot predict the outcome of individual matters with certainty. It is possible that the final resolution of some of the matters in which each Registrant is involved could result in additional material payments substantially in excess of established liabilities or in terms that could require each Registrant to change business practices and procedures or divest ownership of assets. Further, litigation could result in the imposition of operational or financial penalties or injunctions and adverse regulatory consequences, any of which could limit each Registrant's ability to take certain desired actions or the denial of needed permits, licenses or regulatory authority to conduct its business, including the siting, operation or permitting of facilities. Unfavorable judgments could also require posting of surety bonds as security until the amounts awarded to plaintiffs are paid or the judgment is overturned in the appeals process. To the extent the Registrant or affected subsidiary is unable to post such a bond, other forms of security may be required such as cash or letters of credit that could reduce borrowing capacity under credit facility agreements. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on such Registrant's or BHE's financial results. Refer to "PacifiCorp Wildfire Litigation Related Risks" above for additional information regarding PacifiCorp's wildfire litigation risks.

**<u>Operational and Development Risks</u>**

***The Registrants are subject to operating uncertainties and events beyond each respective Registrant's control that impact the costs to operate, maintain, repair and replace utility and interstate natural gas pipeline systems and the ability to self-insure many risks, which could adversely affect each respective Registrant's financial results.***

The operation of complex utility systems or interstate natural gas pipeline and storage systems that are spread over large geographic areas involves many operating uncertainties and events beyond each respective Registrant's control. These potential events include the breakdown or failure of the Registrants' thermal, nuclear, hydroelectric, solar, wind and other electricity generating facilities and related equipment, compressors, pipelines, transmission and distribution lines and associated electric operations equipment or other equipment or processes, which could lead to catastrophic events; unscheduled outages; coal supply challenges occurring as a result of the transition away from coal-fueled resources; strikes, lockouts, other labor-related actions or shortages of qualified labor, including with respect to the Registrants' suppliers and vendors; transmission and distribution system constraints; failure to obtain, renew or maintain rights-of-way, easements and leases on U.S. federal, Native American, First Nations or tribal lands; terrorist activities or military or other actions, including physical or cyber attacks; fuel shortages or interruptions; unavailability of critical equipment, materials and supplies; low water flows and other weather-related impacts; performance below expected levels of output, capacity or efficiency; operator error; third-party excavation errors; unexpected degradation of transmission lines, pipeline systems or storage reservoirs; design, construction or manufacturing defects; and catastrophic events such as severe storms, floods, fires, extreme temperature events, wind events, earthquakes, explosions, landslides, an electromagnetic pulse, mining incidents, costly litigation, wars, terrorism, pandemics and embargoes. A catastrophic event might result in injury or loss of life, extensive property damage, environmental or natural resource damages or excessive economic loss. For example, in the event of an uncontrolled release of water at one of PacifiCorp's high hazard potential hydroelectric dams, it is probable that loss of human life, disruption of lifeline facilities and property damage could occur in the downstream population and civil or other penalties could be imposed by the FERC. The extent of that liability would be determined by the applicable state law where any such damage occurred. Any of these events or other operational events could significantly reduce or eliminate the relevant Registrant's revenue or significantly increase its expenses, thereby reducing the availability of distributions to BHE. For example, if the relevant Registrant cannot operate its electricity or natural gas facilities at full capacity due to damage caused by a catastrophic event or due to supply constraints, its revenue could decrease and its expenses could increase due to the need to obtain energy from more expensive sources.

The Registrants self-insure many risks, and current and future insurance coverage may not be sufficient to replace lost revenue or cover repair and replacement costs or other damages. Further, third-party liability insurance coverage may be costly or unavailable as a result of increasing risks associated with catastrophic wildfires as discussed below. The scope, cost and availability of each Registrant's insurance coverage may change, including the portion that is self-insured.

Any reduction of each Registrant's revenue or increase in its expenses resulting from the risks described above, could adversely affect the relevant Registrant's financial results. Refer also to "PacifiCorp Wildfire Litigation Related Risks" above for additional information regarding PacifiCorp's wildfire insurance risks.

***The Registrants are subject to increasing risks from catastrophic wildfires and may be unable to obtain enough third-party liability insurance coverage at a reasonable cost or at all and insurance coverage on existing wildfire claims could be insufficient to cover all losses, all of which could materially affect the Registrants financial results and liquidity.***

The risk of catastrophic and severe wildfires has increased in the western U.S. giving rise to the potential for large damage claims against utilities for fire-related losses. Catastrophic and severe wildfires can occur in PacifiCorp, Nevada Power and Sierra Pacific's ("Western Domestic Utilities") service territories even when the Western Domestic Utilities effectively implement their wildfire mitigation plans and prudently manage their systems.

In California, for example, where PacifiCorp operates, "inverse condemnation" currently exposes utilities to potential liability for property damages where the utility's electrical equipment was a substantial cause of the wildfire. California courts have held that utilities can be held liable under inverse condemnation without being found negligent and regardless of fault. California law also permits inverse condemnation plaintiffs to recover attorney's fees. As a result of inverse condemnation being applied to utilities and wildfire damages, recent losses recorded by insurance companies, and the risk of an increase in the frequency, duration and size of wildfires, insurance for wildfire liabilities may not be available or may be available only at rates that are prohibitively expensive. In addition, even if insurance for wildfire liabilities is available, it may not be available in amounts necessary to cover potential losses.

Certain Registrants have experienced material increases in the cost of third-party liability insurance as a result of worsening damage claims in the utility industry associated with catastrophic wildfires in the geographic regions in which they operate.

------

Such costs may continue to increase materially to the point of being prohibitively expensive, and it is possible that the Registrants may be unable to obtain third-party liability insurance. Increases in the cost of insurance may be challenged when Registrants seek cost recovery and such amounts may not be recoverable in customer rates. To the extent third-party liability insurance costs continue to increase, becomes cost prohibitive or is unavailable and such increased costs are not recoverable in customer rates, the Registrant's financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected and its liquidity position further negatively impacted.

The Western Domestic Utilities monitor weather conditions with specific thresholds for designated high fire consequence areas to help ensure the safe and reliable operation of their systems during periods of elevated wildfire ignition risk. Should weather conditions become extreme, the Western Domestic Utilities may de-energize certain sections of their transmission and distribution facilities as a last resort to minimize risk to the public. These "public safety power shutoffs" could be subject to increased scrutiny by regulators and policy makers. And, although "public safety power shutoffs" are intended to minimize risk of wildfire ignition, de-energization may cause other damages for which the Western Domestic Utilities could be held liable.

***Each Registrant is actively pursuing, developing and constructing new or expanded facilities, the completion and expected costs of which are subject to significant risk, and each Registrant has significant funding needs related to its planned capital expenditures.***

Each Registrant actively pursues, develops and constructs new or expanded facilities. Each Registrant expects to incur significant annual capital expenditures over the next several years. Such expenditures may include construction and other costs for new electricity generating facilities, electric transmission or distribution projects, environmental control and compliance systems, natural gas storage facilities, new or expanded pipeline and local distribution systems, and continued maintenance and upgrades of existing assets.

Development and construction of major facilities are subject to substantial risks, including fluctuations in the price and availability of commodities, manufactured goods, equipment, and the imposition of tariffs thereon when sourced by foreign providers, labor, siting and permitting and changes in environmental and operational compliance matters, load forecasts and other items over a multi-year construction period, as well as counterparty risk and the economic viability of the Registrants' suppliers, customers and contractors. Certain of the Registrants' construction projects are substantially dependent upon a single supplier or contractor and replacement of such supplier or contractor may be difficult and cannot be assured. These risks may result in the inability to timely complete a project or higher than expected costs to complete an asset and place it in-service and, in extreme cases, the loss of the power purchase agreements or other long-term off-take contracts underlying such projects. Such costs may not be recoverable in the regulated rates or market or contract prices each Registrant is able to charge its customers. Delays in construction of renewable projects may result in delayed in-service dates which may result in the loss of anticipated revenue or income tax benefits. It is also possible that additional generation needs may be obtained through power purchase agreements, which could increase long-term purchase obligations and force reliance on the operating performance of a third party. The inability to successfully and timely complete a project, avoid unexpected costs or recover any such costs could adversely affect such Registrant's financial results.

Furthermore, each Registrant depends upon both internal and external sources of liquidity to provide working capital and to fund capital requirements. If BHE does not provide needed funding to its subsidiaries and the subsidiaries are unable to obtain funding from external sources, they may need to postpone or cancel planned capital expenditures. Refer to "PacifiCorp Wildfire Litigation Related Risks" above for additional information regarding the impact of wildfire litigation risks on PacifiCorp's ability to fund capital expenditures.

***A significant sustained decrease in demand for electricity or natural gas in the markets served by each Registrant would decrease its operating revenue, could impact its planned capital expenditures and could adversely affect its financial results.***

A significant sustained decrease in demand for electricity or natural gas in the markets served by each Registrant would decrease its operating revenue, could impact its planned capital expenditures and could adversely affect its financial results. Factors that could lead to a decrease in market demand include, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a depression, recession or other adverse economic condition that results in a lower level of economic activity or reduced spending by consumers on electricity or natural gas;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase in the market price of electricity or natural gas or a decrease in the price of other competing forms of energy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• shifts in competitively priced natural gas supply sources away from the sources connected to the Pipeline Companies' systems, including shale gas sources;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• efforts by customers, legislators and regulators to reduce the consumption of electricity generated or distributed by each Registrant through various existing laws and regulations, as well as, deregulation, conservation, energy efficiency and private generation measures and programs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• laws or policy pronouncements mandating or encouraging renewable energy sources, which may decrease the demand for electricity and natural gas or change the market prices of these commodities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• higher fuel taxes or other governmental or regulatory actions that increase, directly or indirectly, the cost of natural gas or other fuel sources for electricity generation or that limit the use of natural gas or the generation of electricity from fossil fuels;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a shift to more energy-efficient or alternative fuel machinery or an improvement in fuel economy, whether as a result of technological advances by manufacturers, legislation mandating higher fuel economy or lower emissions, price differentials, incentives or otherwise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a reduction in the state or federal subsidies or tax incentives that are provided to agricultural, industrial or other customers, or a significant sustained change in prices for commodities such as ethanol or corn for ethanol manufacturers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sustained mild weather that reduces heating or cooling needs.

***Each Registrant's operating results may fluctuate on a seasonal and quarterly basis and may be adversely affected by weather.***

In most parts of the U.S. and other markets in which each Registrant operates, demand for electricity peaks during the summer months when irrigation and cooling needs are higher. Market prices for electricity also generally peak at that time. In other areas, including the western portion of PacifiCorp's service territory, demand for electricity peaks during the winter when heating needs are higher. In addition, demand for natural gas and other fuels generally peaks during the winter. This is especially true in MidAmerican Energy's and Sierra Pacific's retail natural gas businesses. Further, extreme weather conditions, such as heat waves, winter storms or floods could cause these seasonal fluctuations to be more pronounced. Periods of low rainfall or snowpack may negatively impact electricity generation at PacifiCorp's hydroelectric generating facilities, which may result in greater purchases of electricity from the wholesale market or from other sources at market prices. Additionally, PacifiCorp and MidAmerican Energy have added substantial wind-powered generating capacity, and BHE's unregulated subsidiaries are adding solar-powered and wind-powered generating capacity, each of which is also a climate-dependent resource.

As a result, the overall financial results of each Registrant may fluctuate substantially on a seasonal and quarterly basis. Each Registrant has historically provided less service, and consequently earned less income, when weather conditions are mild. Unusually mild weather in the future may adversely affect each Registrant's financial results through lower revenue or margins. Conversely, unusually extreme weather conditions could increase each Registrant's costs to provide services and could adversely affect its financial results. The extent of fluctuation in each Registrant's financial results may change depending on a number of factors related to its regulatory environment and contractual agreements, including its ability to recover energy costs, the existence of revenue sharing provisions as it relates to MidAmerican Energy, Nevada Power and Sierra Pacific, and terms of its wholesale sale contracts.

***Each Registrant is subject to market risk associated with the wholesale energy markets, which could adversely affect its financial results.***

In general, each Registrant's primary market risk is adverse fluctuations in the market price of wholesale electricity and fuel, including natural gas, coal and fuel oil, which is compounded by volumetric changes affecting the availability of or demand for electricity and fuel. The market price of wholesale electricity may be influenced by several factors, such as the adequacy or type of generating capacity, scheduled and unscheduled outages of generating facilities, prices and availability of fuel sources for generation, disruptions or constraints to transmission and distribution facilities, weather conditions, demand for electricity, economic growth and changes in technology. Volumetric changes are caused by fluctuations in generation or changes in customer needs that can be due to the weather, electricity and fuel prices, the economy, regulations and governmental policies or customer behavior. For example, the Utilities purchase electricity and fuel in the open market as part of their normal operating businesses. If market prices rise, especially in a time when larger than expected volumes must be purchased at market prices, the Utilities may incur significantly greater expenses than anticipated. Likewise, if electricity market prices decline in a period when the Utilities are a net seller of electricity in the wholesale market, the Utilities could earn less revenue. Although the Utilities have ECAMs, the risks associated with changes in market prices may not be fully mitigated due to customer sharing bands as it relates to PacifiCorp and other factors, including potential interjurisdictional allocation constraints and extended recovery periods that negatively impact cash flows.

------

***Certain of BHE's subsidiaries are subject to the risk that customers will not renew their contracts or that BHE's subsidiaries will be unable to obtain new customers for expanded capacity, each of which could adversely affect its financial results.***

If BHE's subsidiaries are unable to renew, remarket, or find replacements for their customer agreements on favorable terms, BHE's subsidiaries' sales volumes and operating revenue would be exposed to reduction and increased volatility. For example, without the benefit of long-term transportation agreements, BHE cannot assure that the Pipeline Companies will be able to transport natural gas at efficient capacity levels. Substantially all of the Pipeline Companies' revenue is generated under transportation, storage and LNG contracts that periodically must be renegotiated and extended or replaced, and the Pipeline Companies are dependent upon relatively few customers for a substantial portion of their revenue. Similarly, without long-term power purchase agreements, BHE cannot assure that its unregulated power generators will be able to operate profitably. Failure to maintain existing long-term agreements or secure new long-term agreements, or being required to discount rates significantly upon renewal or replacement, could adversely affect BHE's consolidated financial results. The replacement of any existing long-term agreements depends on market conditions and other factors that may be beyond BHE's subsidiaries' control.

***Each Registrant is subject to counterparty risk, which could adversely affect its financial results.***

Each Registrant is subject to counterparty credit risk related to contractual payment obligations with wholesale suppliers and customers. Adverse economic conditions or other events affecting counterparties with whom each Registrant conducts business could impair the ability of these counterparties to meet their payment obligations. Each Registrant depends on these counterparties to remit payments on a timely basis. Each Registrant monitors the creditworthiness of its wholesale suppliers and customers in an attempt to reduce the impact of any potential counterparty default. If strategies used to minimize these risk exposures are ineffective or if a Registrant's wholesale suppliers' or customers' financial condition deteriorates or they otherwise become unable to pay, it could have a significant adverse impact on the Registrant's liquidity and its financial results.

Each Registrant is subject to counterparty performance risk related to performance of contractual obligations by wholesale suppliers, customers and contractors. Each Registrant relies on wholesale suppliers to deliver commodities, primarily natural gas, coal and electricity, in accordance with short- and long-term contracts. Failure or delay by suppliers to provide these commodities pursuant to existing contracts could disrupt the delivery of electricity and require the Utilities to incur additional expenses to meet customer needs. In addition, when these contracts terminate, the Utilities may be unable to purchase the commodities on terms equivalent to the terms of current contracts.

Each Registrant relies on wholesale customers to take delivery of the energy they have committed to purchase. Failure of customers to take delivery may require the relevant Registrant to find other customers to take the energy at lower prices than the original customers committed to pay. If each Registrant's wholesale customers are unable to fulfill their obligations, there may be a significant adverse impact on its financial results.

The Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies' customers are concentrated in a small number of electricity supply businesses. AltaLink's primary source of operating revenue is the AESO. Generally, a single customer purchases the energy from BHE's independent power projects in the U.S. pursuant to long-term power purchase agreements. Any material payment or other performance failure by the counterparties in these arrangements could have a significant adverse impact on BHE's consolidated financial results.

***Inflation and changes in commodity prices and transportation fuel costs may adversely affect each Registrant's financial results.***

Inflation and increases in commodity prices and transportation fuel costs may affect each Registrant by increasing both operating and capital costs. As a result of existing rate agreements, contractual arrangements or competitive price pressures, each Registrant may not be able to pass the inflated costs on to its customers. If a Registrant is unable to manage cost increases or pass them on to its customers, its financial results could be adversely affected.

***Physical or cyber attacks, both threatened and actual, could impact each Registrant's operations and could adversely affect its financial results.***

Each Registrant relies on technology in virtually all aspects of its business. Like any business, the Registrants' technology systems are a target for computer viruses, malicious codes, unauthorized access, phishing efforts, denial-of-service attacks and other cyber attacks and each Registrant expects to be subject to attempted attacks in the future and will continue to adapt defensive capabilities as such attacks become more sophisticated and frequent. A significant disruption or failure of its technology systems by cyber or physical attack could result in service interruptions, safety failures, security events, regulatory

------

compliance failures, an inability to protect information and assets against unauthorized users, and other operational difficulties. Attacks perpetrated against each Registrant's systems could result in loss of assets and critical information and expose it to remediation costs and reputational damage.

Although the Registrants have taken steps intended to mitigate these risks, a significant disruption or cyber intrusion at one or more of each Registrant's operations could adversely affect the impacted Registrant's financial results. Cyber attacks could further adversely affect each Registrant's ability to operate facilities, information technology and business systems, or compromise sensitive customer and employee information. In addition, physical or cyber attacks against key suppliers or service providers could have a similar effect on each Registrant. Additionally, if each Registrant is unable to acquire, develop, implement, adopt or protect rights around new technology, it may suffer a competitive disadvantage.

***Much of BHE's growth has been achieved through acquisitions, and any such acquisition may not be successful.***

Much of BHE's growth has been achieved through acquisitions. Future acquisitions may range from buying individual assets to the purchase of entire businesses. BHE will continue to investigate and pursue opportunities for future acquisitions that it believes, but cannot assure, may increase value and expand or complement existing businesses. BHE may participate in bidding or other negotiations at any time for such acquisition opportunities which may or may not be successful. An acquisition could cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, the activities of one or more of BHE's subsidiaries. In addition, the final orders of regulatory authorities approving acquisitions may be subject to appeal by third parties. The diversion of BHE management's attention and any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with the approval and integration of the acquired operations could adversely affect BHE's combined businesses and financial results and could impair its ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. BHE cannot assure that future acquisitions, if any, or any integration efforts will be successful, or that BHE's ability to repay its obligations will not be adversely affected by any future acquisitions.

***Certain Registrants are subject to the unique risks associated with nuclear generation.***

The ownership and operation of nuclear generating facilities, such as MidAmerican Energy's 25% interest in Quad Cities Station, involves certain risks. These risks include, among other items, mechanical or structural problems, inadequacy or lapses in maintenance protocols, the impairment of reactor operation and safety systems due to human error, the costs of storage, handling and disposal of nuclear materials, compliance with and changes in regulation of nuclear generating facilities, limitations on the amounts and types of insurance coverage commercially available, economic risks impacting the current and expected value of the facilities, and uncertainties with respect to the technological and financial aspects of decommissioning nuclear facilities at the end of their useful lives. Additionally, Constellation Energy, the 75% owner and operator of the facility, may respond to the occurrence of any of these or other operational or economic risks in a manner that negatively impacts MidAmerican Energy, including closure of Quad Cities Station prior to the expiration of its operating license. The prolonged unavailability, or early closure, of Quad Cities Station due to operational or economic factors could have a materially adverse effect on the relevant Registrant's financial results, particularly when the cost to produce power at the generating facility is significantly less than market wholesale prices. The following are among the more significant of these risks:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Operational Risk* - Operations at any nuclear generating facility could degrade to the point where the generating facility would have to be shut down. If such degradations were to occur, the process of identifying and correcting the causes of the operational downgrade to return the generating facility to operation could require significant time and expenses, resulting in both lost revenue and increased fuel and purchased electricity costs to meet supply commitments. Rather than incurring substantial costs to restart the generating facility, the generating facility could be shut down. Furthermore, a shut-down or failure at any other nuclear generating facility could cause regulators to require a shut-down or reduced availability at Quad Cities Station.

In addition, issues relating to the disposal of nuclear waste material, including the availability, unavailability and expenses of a permanent repository for spent nuclear fuel could adversely impact operations as well as the cost and ability to decommission nuclear generating facilities, including Quad Cities Station, in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Regulatory Risk* - The NRC may modify, suspend or revoke licenses and impose civil penalties for failure to comply with applicable Atomic Energy Act regulations or the terms of the licenses of nuclear facilities. Unless extended, the NRC operating licenses for Quad Cities Station will expire in 2032. Changes in regulations by the NRC could require a substantial increase in capital expenditures or result in increased operating or decommissioning costs.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Nuclear Accident and Catastrophic Risks* - Accidents and other unforeseen catastrophic events have occurred at nuclear facilities other than Quad Cities Station, both in the U.S. and elsewhere, such as at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear generating facility in Japan as a result of the earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. The consequences of an accident or catastrophic event can be severe and include loss of life and property damage. Any resulting liability from a nuclear accident or catastrophic event could exceed the relevant Registrant's resources, including insurance coverage.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Economic Risks* - Market power prices, results of capacity auctions, potential legislative and regulatory actions that impact the compensation received from state or federal policies, reliability or fuel security, and the financial impact of potential rules from the EPA requiring reduction of carbon and other emissions and the efforts of states to implement those final rules may affect the current and expected economic value of the nuclear generating facility resulting in an early nuclear generating facility retirement.

***Potential terrorist activities and the impact of military or other actions, including sanctions, export controls and similar measures, could adversely affect each Registrant's financial results.***

The ongoing threat of terrorism and the impact of military or other actions by nations or politically, ethnically or religiously motivated organizations regionally or globally may create increased political, economic, social and financial market instability, which could subject each Registrant's operations to increased risks. Additionally, the U.S. government has issued warnings that energy assets, specifically pipeline, nuclear generation, transmission and other electric utility infrastructure, are potential targets for terrorist attacks. Further, the potential or actual outbreak of war or other hostilities and the resulting economic sanctions on aggressor nations, as well as the existing and potential further responses from such aggressors or other countries to such sanctions and military actions, could adversely affect global and regional economies and financial markets. For instance, a ban on imports of oil, liquefied natural gas and coal to the U.S. could contribute to increases in prices for such commodities in the U.S. and elsewhere which could adversely affect each Registrant's business. Further, each Registrant's business must be conducted in compliance with applicable economic and trade sanctions laws and regulations, including those administered and enforced by the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the United Nations Security Council and other relevant governmental authorities in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and European Union, which include sanctions that could potentially restrict or prohibit each Registrant's relationships with certain suppliers and customers. Political, economic, social or financial market instability or damage to or interference with the operating assets of the Registrants, customers or suppliers, or continued increases in the price of natural gas and other petroleum commodities may result in business interruptions, lost revenue, higher costs, disruption in fuel supplies, lower energy consumption and unstable markets, particularly with respect to electricity and natural gas, and increased security, repair or other costs, any of which may materially adversely affect each Registrant in ways that cannot be predicted at this time. Any of these risks could materially affect BHE's consolidated financial results. Furthermore, instability in the financial markets as a result of terrorism or war could also materially adversely affect each Registrant's ability to raise capital.

***Each Registrant's business could be adversely affected by epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks.***

Each Registrant's business could be adversely affected by epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks generally and more specifically in the markets in which we operate, including, without limitation, if each Registrant's utility customers experience decreases in demand for their products and services or otherwise reduce their consumption of electricity or natural gas that the respective Registrant supplies, or if such Registrant experiences material payment defaults by its customers. In addition, each Registrant's results and financial condition may be adversely affected by federal, state or local and foreign legislation related to such epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks (or other similar laws, regulations, policies, orders or other governmental or regulatory actions) that would impose a moratorium on terminating electric or natural gas utility services, including related assessment of late fees, due to non-payment or other circumstances. Additionally, HomeServices' real estate businesses could experience a decline (which could be significant) in real estate transactions if potential customers elect to defer purchases in reaction to any epidemic, pandemic or other outbreak or due to general economic uncertainty such as high unemployment levels, in some or all of the real estate markets in which HomeServices operates. The government and regulators could impose other requirements on each Registrant's business that could have an adverse impact on such Registrant's financial results.

Further, epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks could disrupt supply chains (including supply chains for energy generation, steel or transmission wire) relating to the markets each Registrant serves, which could adversely impact such Registrant's ability to generate or supply power. In addition, such disruptions to the supply chain could delay certain construction and other capital expenditure projects, including construction and repowering of the Registrants' renewable generation projects. Such disruptions could adversely affect the impacted Registrant's future financial results.

------

Such declines in demand, any inability to generate or supply power or delays in capital projects could also significantly reduce cash flows at BHE's subsidiaries, thereby reducing the availability of distributions to BHE, which could adversely affect its financial results.

***Cyclical fluctuations and competition in the residential real estate brokerage and mortgage businesses could adversely affect HomeServices.***

The residential real estate brokerage and mortgage industries tend to experience cycles of greater and lesser activity and profitability and are typically affected by changes in economic conditions, which are beyond HomeServices' control. Any of the following, among others, are examples of items that could have a material adverse effect on HomeServices' businesses by causing a general decline in the number of home sales, sale prices or the number of home financings which, in turn, would adversely affect its financial results:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• rising interest rates or unemployment rates, including a sustained high unemployment rate in the U.S.;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• periods of economic slowdown or recession in the markets served or the adverse effects on market actions as a result of epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• decreasing home affordability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• lack of available mortgage credit for potential homebuyers, such as the reduced availability of credit, which may continue into future periods;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• inadequate home inventory levels;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sources of new competition; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in applicable tax law.

***BHE holds investments in foreign countries that are exposed to risks related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and increased economic, regulatory and political risks.***

BHE's business operations and investments outside the U.S. increase its risk related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the British pound and the Canadian dollar. BHE's principal reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, and the value of the assets and liabilities, earnings, cash flows and potential distributions from its foreign operations changes with the fluctuations of the currency in which they transact. BHE may selectively reduce some foreign currency exchange rate risk by, among other things, requiring contracted amounts be settled in, or indexed to, U.S. dollars or a currency freely convertible into U.S. dollars, or hedging through foreign currency derivatives. These efforts, however, may not be effective and could negatively affect BHE's consolidated financial results.

In addition to any disruption in the global financial markets, the economic, regulatory and political conditions in some of the countries where BHE has operations or is pursuing investment opportunities may present increased risks related to, among others, inflation, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, currency repatriation restrictions, nationalization, renegotiation, privatization, availability of financing on suitable terms, customer creditworthiness, construction delays, business interruption, political instability, civil unrest, guerilla activity, terrorism, pandemics, expropriation, trade sanctions, contract nullification and changes in law, regulations or tax policy. BHE may not choose to or be capable of either fully insuring against or effectively hedging these risks.

**CYBER RISK MANAGEMENT AND STRATEGY**

BHE and its Subsidiary Registrants recognize that maintaining processes for identifying, assessing and managing cybersecurity threats is important in dealing with their significant business risks. As such, BHE has implemented a framework for cybersecurity and cyber-related information management across its businesses. BHE's Chief Security Office ("CSO") drives collective focus and central coordination of BHE's cyber and physical security programs. The CSO identifies the strategic framework that promotes standardization of business security policies and practices and provides direction in managing security risks. Although the CSO provides oversight, the businesses retain accountability for executing company security objectives, policies and practices within their areas of responsibility.

------

BHE manages cybersecurity threats through its proactive risk management program and cybersecurity awareness program. BHE's businesses are certified against the ISO 27001 standard. The standard is authored by the International Organization for Standardization ("ISO") of Geneva, Switzerland. To achieve the certification, each business must sustain an information security management system that includes a risk-based framework to identify and manage information security risks through a continuous improvement cycle. The risks and controls identified in the system must be approved by top management and confirmed through annual internal and external ISO audits prior to certification. BHE administers security policies and standards supporting these initiatives, ensuring alignment with the NIST Cybersecurity 2.0 and ISO 27001.

In addition, BHE's compliance requirements include the North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection Standards, the Transportation Security Administration Pipeline Security Directives and the United Kingdom Center for the Protection of National Infrastructure Standards as applicable to each of the companies. These requirements are audited and assessed as mandated by applicable government agencies.

Each Registrant relies on technology in virtually all aspects of its business. Like any business, the Registrants' technology systems are a target for cyber attacks. Each Registrant expects to be subject to attempted attacks in the future and will continue to adapt defensive capabilities as such attacks become more sophisticated and frequent. A significant disruption or failure of its technology systems by cyber or physical attack could result in service interruptions, safety failures, security events, regulatory compliance failures, an inability to protect information and assets against unauthorized users, and other operational difficulties. Attacks perpetrated against each Registrant's systems could result in loss of assets and critical information and expose it to remediation costs and reputational damage.

In certain circumstances, BHE relies on third-party service providers for a variety of products and services to run its information systems. This dependence exposes BHE, along with others who use these service providers, to the impact of a cyber attack on these providers. Cyber attacks at a third-party service provider could have a significant financial, operational, or reputational impact. BHE continuously monitors the risks associated with its service providers.

**GOVERNANCE**

BHE's Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of BHE's cybersecurity risk management program.

BHE's CSO is responsible for cyber and physical security across BHE and its Subsidiary Registrants. The CSO is responsible for identifying, assessing and managing cyber risk for BHE and its Subsidiary Registrants. BHE's Board of Directors has evaluated the expertise of the CSO and determined that it possesses the knowledge and expertise necessary to oversee BHE's cybersecurity risk management processes.

The CSO provides, at least annually, updates to the Board of Directors on:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Strategic cyber and physical security initiatives

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Current threats and the risk landscape impacting the organization

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Security compliance with regulatory requirements

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Compliance with ISO 27001 framework

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Number and impact of incidents reported through the BHE cybersecurity incident reporting process

BHE's Cybersecurity Reporting Framework enables BHE to use a repeatable and timely process to identify, assess and manage any security incidents for materiality reporting. Each BHE business is required to report significant cybersecurity events to BHE. The Board of Directors reviews summaries of incidents and together with the CSO determines whether a cyber incident report should be filed with the SEC.

**Item 2.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Properties**

Each Registrant's energy properties consist of the physical assets necessary to support its electricity and natural gas businesses. Properties of the relevant Registrant's electricity businesses include electric generation, transmission and distribution facilities, as well as coal mining assets that support certain of PacifiCorp's electric generating facilities. Properties of the relevant Registrant's natural gas businesses include natural gas distribution facilities, interstate pipelines, storage facilities, LNG facilities, compressor stations and meter stations. The transmission and distribution assets are primarily within each Registrant's service territories. In addition to these physical assets, the Registrants have rights-of-way, mineral rights and water rights that enable each Registrant to utilize its facilities. It is the opinion of each Registrant's management that the principal depreciable properties owned by it are in good operating condition and are well maintained. Pursuant to separate financing agreements, substantially all of PacifiCorp's electric utility properties, MidAmerican Energy's electric utility properties in the state of Iowa, Nevada Power's and Sierra Pacific's properties in the state of Nevada, AltaLink's transmission properties and substantially all of the assets of the subsidiaries of BHE Renewables that are direct or indirect owners of generation projects are pledged or encumbered to support or otherwise provide the security for the related subsidiary debt. For additional information regarding each Registrant's energy properties, refer to Item 1 of this Form 10-K and Notes 4, 5 and 22 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Berkshire Hathaway Energy in Item 8 of this Form 10-K, Notes 3 and 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of PacifiCorp in Item 8 of this Form 10-K, Notes 3 and 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements of MidAmerican Energy in Item 8 of this Form 10-K, Notes 3 and 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Nevada Power in Item 8 of this Form 10-K, Notes 3 and 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Sierra Pacific in Item 8 of this Form 10-K, Notes 4 and 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Eastern Energy Gas in Item 8 of this Form 10-K and Notes 3 and 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of EGTS in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Additionally, as of December 31, 2025, the Company has electric generating facilities that are under construction in Iowa, Nevada, Montana, West Virginia and California having total Facility Net Capacity and Net Owned Capacity of 1,949 MWs.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company also has battery energy storage systems in Nevada, Montana, California, West Virginia and Oregon having total Facility Net Capacity and Net Owned Capacity in operation of 320 MW and under construction of 543 MW.

------

The right to construct and operate each Registrant's electric transmission and distribution facilities and interstate natural gas pipelines across certain property was obtained in most circumstances through negotiations and, where necessary, through prescription, eminent domain or similar rights. PacifiCorp, MidAmerican Energy, Nevada Power, Sierra Pacific, BHE GT&S, Northern Natural Gas and Kern River in the U.S.; Northern Powergrid (Northeast) plc and Northern Powergrid (Yorkshire) plc in Great Britain; and AltaLink in Alberta, Canada continue to have the power of eminent domain or similar rights in each of the jurisdictions in which they operate their respective facilities, but the U.S. and Canadian utilities do not have the power of eminent domain with respect to governmental, Native American or Canadian First Nations' tribal lands. Although the main Kern River pipeline crosses the Moapa Indian Reservation, all facilities in the Moapa Indian Reservation are located within a utility corridor that is reserved to the U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management.

With respect to real property, each of the electric transmission and distribution facilities and interstate natural gas pipelines fall into two basic categories: (1) parcels that are owned in fee, such as certain of the electric generating facilities, electric substations, natural gas compressor stations, natural gas meter stations and office sites; and (2) parcels where the interest derives from leases, easements (including prescriptive easements), rights-of-way, permits or licenses from landowners or governmental authorities permitting the use of such land for the construction, operation and maintenance of the electric transmission and distribution facilities and interstate natural gas pipelines. Each Registrant believes it has satisfactory title or interest to all of the real property making up their respective facilities in all material respects.

**Item 3.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Legal Proceedings**

**<u>BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY ENERGY AND PACIFICORP</u>**

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 $50 billion, excluding any doubling or trebling of damages or punitive damages included in the complaints, and of which approximately $48 billion represents the economic and noneconomic damages sought in the *James* mass complaints described below, as amended. 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. Generally, the complaints filed in California do not specify damages sought and are excluded from this amount. 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. However, as described below, plaintiffs included in the *James* mass complaints are required to amend their complaints to align the economic damages to the facts specific to their complaints rather than the common per plaintiff damages specified in the originally filed mass complaints. Based on the damages awarded in the jury verdicts to date as presented in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of PacifiCorp in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, it is likely that amended damages and those ultimately awarded by jury verdicts in additional damages phase trials associated with the plaintiffs included in the mass complaints will be significantly lower than the amounts sought in the mass complaints.

*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.

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 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Berkshire Hathaway Energy in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, and PacifiCorp, refer to Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of PacifiCorp in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

*Wildfire Settlements*

PacifiCorp has settled various claims associated with the Wildfires as described below and has settled all wrongful death claims and federal government demands and complaints associated with the Wildfires. For the Archie Creek fire, Slater fire and 2022 McKinney Fire, settlements have been reached with substantially all plaintiffs. For the Santiam Canyon, Echo Mountain Complex, South Obenchain and 242 fires, while PacifiCorp settled claims with individual plaintiffs who were granted substitution of counsel in the *James* case, with the Oregon wineries and with the federal government as described below, claims remain outstanding for a substantial number of class members in the *James* case and individual plaintiffs in the *Dietrich* case.

*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 $1,467 million. The $1,467 million in settlements were comprised of $605 million associated with the *James* related fires for plaintiffs who opted out of the *James* class, plaintiffs granted substitution counsel in the *James* case, Oregon wineries, insurance subrogation claims and for plaintiffs in certain of the consolidated cases; $605 million associated with the Archie Creek fire; $254 million associated with the Slater fire; and $3 million associated with other fires. Amounts associated with the February 2026 settlement with the federal government described below will be paid in March 2026. 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 $227 million. Amounts associated with the February 2026 settlement with the federal government described below will be paid in March 2026. 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.

*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 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. 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 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. Since filing of the original class action complaint, numerous James class members have been named and damages specified in various complaints as described below. Additionally, numerous cases were consolidated into the original *James* complaint as described below under "*James* Consolidated Cases."

------

In April, May, July and September 2024; January, May and September 2025; and January 2026, nine separate mass complaints against PacifiCorp naming 1,000, 100, 265, 78, 93, 55, 99, 34 and 36 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*, *Butte Falls Family Ranch, LLC et al. v. PacifiCorp*, *Amanda Bateman et al. v. PacifiCorp*, *Philip Estes et al. v. PacifiCorp* and *Stephen Becker et al. v. PacifiCorp*, respectively, each referencing the original *James* case as the lead case. 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, as well as doubling of economic damages. The class members demand a trial by jury. Refer to "*James* Court Activity" section below for information regarding additional damages phase trials and the requirement for plaintiffs to amend their complaints to specify damages based on facts associated with their claims. Complaints for some of the plaintiffs in the mass complaints have been dismissed.

On December 31, 2024, a complaint against PacifiCorp was filed, captioned *Frank Timber Resources, Inc. et al. v. PacifiCorp*, referencing the original *James* case 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. In November 2025, settlement was reached with the *Frank Timber* plaintiffs. As a result of the settlement, the trial previously scheduled for early January 2026 was cancelled and the complaint was dismissed.

On December 31, 2024, a complaint against PacifiCorp was filed, captioned *Theodore and Deana Freres et al. v. PacifiCorp*, referencing the original *James* case 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. In November 2025, settlement was reached with the *Theodore and Deana Freres* plaintiffs. As a result of the settlement, the trial previously scheduled for early January 2026 was cancelled and the complaint was dismissed.

From October 2024 through March 2025, various plaintiffs' counsel filed motions with the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon for substitution of lead counsel in the *James* case for approximately 1,500 individual plaintiffs, including a minor number of plaintiffs included in the *James* mass complaints described above and a small portion who filed complaints in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon seeking the same damages as those in the *James* mass complaints. Substitution motions covering substantially all of the approximately 1,500 plaintiffs were granted. In November 2025, PacifiCorp settled with approximately 1,400 of the individual plaintiffs granted substitution counsel for $150 million, substantially all of which was paid in December 2025.

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. Refer to "*James* Court Activity" below for information regarding PacifiCorp's filings of motions to stay further *James* damages phase trials in consideration of the ODF's Report described above under "Investigations."

From October 2025 through February 2026, PacifiCorp reached settlement with several individual plaintiffs in the *James* case. As a result of dismissals for the mass complaints and settlements, *James* complaints for approximately 1,700 individual plaintiffs remain outstanding, substantially all of which are represented by lead counsel.

*<u>James</u>* <u>Trial Activity</u>

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. The jury awarded economic and noneconomic damages. After the jury verdict, the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon doubled the economic damages, in accordance with Oregon law, and added punitive damages by applying a 0.25 multiplier to the awarded economic and noneconomic damages. 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. In January 2024, PacifiCorp filed a notice of appeal associated with the June 2023 verdict, including whether the case can proceed as a class action.

------

Subsequent to the June 2023 *James* verdict, numerous damages phase trials were held with separate jury verdicts issued and damages awarded for each on a basis consistent with the initial trial and relying on the liability determination in the June 2023 *James* verdict. PacifiCorp amended its January 2024 appeal of the June 2023 *James* verdict to include the jury verdicts for the first two damages phase trials. PacifiCorp has filed notices of appeal for the subsequent jury verdicts in the damages phase trials once limited judgments are entered and any post-trial motions filed. Refer to "*James* Court Activity" below regarding the filing of PacifiCorp's appellate briefs. The appeals process and further actions could take several years.

The *James* jury verdicts to date have awarded total net damages of $1,005 million to 145 plaintiffs, including $114 million of doubled economic damages, $725 million of noneconomic damages, $196 million of punitive damages and partially offset by estimated insurance offsets of $30 million. Refer to additional details by trial in Note 14 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of PacifiCorp in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Through February 2026, jury verdict awards averaged approximately $7 million per plaintiff, including insurance offset. Additional damages phase trials are scheduled to occur through 2028 as described below.

*<u>James</u>* <u>Court Activity</u>

In April 2025, PacifiCorp filed its appellate brief with the Oregon Court of Appeals in connection with its appeal of the June 2023 *James* verdict and the January and March 2024 *James* damages phase trial verdicts. In the appellate 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 appellate brief. Various parties who are not party to the *James* case filed supportive amicus briefs with the court. Plaintiffs filed their combined answering and cross-appeal brief on August 21, 2025, after plaintiffs requested three delays from the Oregon Court of Appeals. PacifiCorp has filed additional appellate briefs and will continue to file individual appellate briefs in connection with appeals of each of the verdicts for additional *James* damages phase trials.

In November 2025, the Oregon Court of Appeals issued an order for expedited oral argument in response to PacifiCorp's October 2025 request to facilitate a more prompt decision from the court. As a result of the order, oral argument for the appeal was held on February 4, 2026.

Subsequent to the first two damages phase trials, nine damages phase trials were scheduled to be held in 2025 in accordance with the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon's October 2024 case management order, adjudicating the damages of approximately 10 plaintiffs per trial. In March 2025, PacifiCorp filed a motion to stay the additional damages phase trials scheduled under the October 2024 case management order in consideration of the ODF's Report, but the motion was denied in April 2025. Plaintiffs selected for the nine damages phase trials scheduled in 2025 were required to file amended complaints alleging the specific facts that supported their claims for economic and noneconomic damages. Damages sought in the amended complaints were significantly lower than the amounts sought in the original mass complaints. Jury verdicts were issued in 2025 for each of the nine damages phase trials, resulting in amounts awarded that are also significantly less than the amounts sought in the original mass complaints as described above under "*James* Trial Activity." Also in accordance with the October 2024 case management order, the parties engaged in a global mediation on May 5, 2025, July 28, 2025, and December 10, 2025, with the objective of resolving the claims of the remaining absent class members. Although PacifiCorp has been unable to resolve claims as a class through mediation efforts, it has reached settlement with a minor number of individual plaintiffs in the *James* case as described above.

In July 2025, the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon issued CMO No. 11 in response to the May 2025 hearing that was held to evaluate the scheduling of additional damages phase trials. As ordered, CMO No. 11 proposes to schedule dozens of trials in 2026 and over 100 more in 2027 and 2028. Currently, approximately 1,500 plaintiffs are scheduled for trial under CMO No. 11, including substantially all of those included in the mass complaints described above and reflecting the impacts of settlements and dismissals. CMO No. 11 requires plaintiffs included in the mass complaints to amend their complaints alleging the specific facts that support their claims for economic damages within 180 days before the start of their respective trials. Additionally, CMO No. 11 requires mediation every other month.

------

In August 2025, PacifiCorp filed a motion with the Oregon Court of Appeals to stay the *James* damages phase trials addressed in CMO No. 11. In September 2025, the Appellate Commissioner of the Oregon Court of Appeals denied PacifiCorp's motion to stay, to which PacifiCorp filed a request for reconsideration of the stay denial with the Chief Judge of the Oregon Court of Appeals. In October 2025, the Oregon Court of Appeals issued an order denying PacifiCorp's request for reconsideration. In November 2025, PacifiCorp petitioned the Oregon Supreme Court to review the Oregon Court of Appeals' decisions. In December 2025, plaintiffs' counsel filed their opposition to the petition, and a decision is expected in 2026.

Refer to "Potential Effects of *James* CMO No. 11" in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of PacifiCorp in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

*<u>James Consolidated Cases</u>*

The following cases were consolidated into the original *James* case:

The amended *Salter* complaint was filed August 20, 2021, in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon by approximately 97 individuals seeking damages similar to those described above, including economic damages not to exceed $150 million and noneconomic damages not to exceed $500 million. A portion of these plaintiffs are included in the *James* mass complaints and either already have verdicts or have trials scheduled under CMO No. 11. The *Salter* case is currently stayed due to plaintiffs' motion to consolidate the case into *James*.

The amended *Allen* complaint was filed September 2, 2021, in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon by approximately five individuals seeking damages similar to those described above, including $8 million in economic and $24 million in noneconomic damages related to the Beachie Creek Fire.

*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. In 2024, PacifiCorp settled with three of the *Lee* plaintiffs and the complaints were dismissed. 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. Across 2022, 2023 and early 2024, PacifiCorp paid approximately $28 million to the subrogation insurers, and all but the following subrogation complaints were fully dismissed.

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. This complaint is expected to be fully dismissed as a result of the Rock Creek Fish Hatchery settlement described below under "United States and State of Oregon – Loss and Damages to Federal and State Lands – Oregon Fires."

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.

*Winery Cases*

In 2023 and 2024, multiple Oregon vineyards filed lawsuits against PacifiCorp alleging economic damages of approximately $198 million and unspecified punitive damages associated with the 2020 Wildfires. In November 2025, PacifiCorp settled and paid all claims made by these Oregon vineyards. As a result, the associated trials were cancelled and complaints dismissed.

*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 November 2025, PacifiCorp reached settlement for the Rock Creek Fish Hatchery component of this matter.

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 incurred by the ODF associated with the Oregon portion of the Slater Fire. On May 5, 2025, PacifiCorp received a demand from the ODOJ for $5 million of suppression costs incurred by the Oregon State Fire Marshal 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.

On May 5, 2025, PacifiCorp received a demand from the Oregon State Fire Marshal for $5 million in fire suppression costs associated with the Slater Fire.

On February 20, 2026, the United States Attorney for the District of Oregon and the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of California approved a settlement agreement for $575 million between PacifiCorp and the United States of America resolving all known federal government complaints and demands associated with the Wildfires, including those associated with the 242, Archie Creek, Echo Mountain Complex, McKinney, Slater and South Obenchain fires. In accordance with the settlement agreement, PacifiCorp will pay the $575 million within 10 calendar days of the February 20, 2026, effective date.

PacifiCorp is actively cooperating with the ODOJ on resolving the 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.

In May 2025, PacifiCorp settled 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. All settled cases are expected to be dismissed.

*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. As described above under "United States and State of Oregon – Loss and Damages to Federal and State Lands – Oregon Fires," PacifiCorp settled this demand in February 2026.

------

*2022 McKinney Fire*

Numerous complaints associated with the 2022 McKinney Fire were filed in Sacramento County Superior Court California on behalf of approximately 1,200 plaintiffs as described below. Certain complaints include wrongful death claims associated with the four fatalities. 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 seek various damages. The damages sought generally include: (i) economic damages; (ii) noneconomic damages; (iii) doubling or trebling of timber damages; (iv) punitive damages; (v) prejudgment interest; and (vi) attorneys' fees and other costs. The complaints do not specify the amount of damages sought.

On August 16, 2022, a complaint against PacifiCorp was filed, captioned *Bridges et al. v. PacifiCorp*, ("*Bridges*") in Sacramento County Superior Court California by approximately five plaintiffs. Additional complaints associated with the 2022 McKinney Fire were filed and subsequently consolidated into the *Bridges* case, covering approximately 1,200 plaintiffs, including wrongful death claims. To date, settlements have been reached with substantially all the plaintiffs associated with the 2022 McKinney Fire, including all wrongful death claims, and PacifiCorp believes that there are approximately 50 plaintiffs remaining to settle. While only a portion of the associated complaints have been dismissed as a result of the settlements, the remaining settled complaints are also expected to be dismissed. No trials are scheduled for the remaining 2022 McKinney Fire plaintiffs.

**<u>BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY ENERGY</u>**

HomeServices, a subsidiary of BHE, 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. The cases are captioned as follows.

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 and settlements were reached by Keller Williams, NAR and HomeServices subsequent to the trial. All settlements received court approval, had final judgments entered by the court and were appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. All appeals were fully briefed by December 19, 2025, and oral arguments took place on January 14, 2026. A ruling from the court on the appeals is pending. The final HomeServices settlement agreement with the plaintiffs reached on April 25, 2024, 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 four years aggregating $250 million. 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.

Earnings on common shares decreased $234 million for 2025 compared to 2024. Included in these results was a pre-tax gain in 2025 of $110 million ($87 million after-tax) compared to a pre-tax gain in 2024 of $444 million ($351 million after-tax) related to the Company's investment in BYD Company Limited ("BYD"). Excluding the impact of this item, adjusted earnings on common shares in 2025 was $3,979 million, an increase of $30 million, or 1%, compared to adjusted earnings on common shares in 2024 of $3,949 million.

The decrease in earnings on common shares for 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Utilities' earnings increased $136 million primarily due to higher electric utility margin and lower wildfire loss accruals of $246 million. These items were offset by higher operations and maintenance expense, increased depreciation and amortization expense, lower interest and dividend income, higher interest expense, lower allowances for equity and borrowed funds used during construction and unfavorable income tax benefits, largely due to the effects of ratemaking. Electric retail customer volumes increased 2.2% for 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher customer usage and an increase in the average number of customers, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of weather;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Northern Powergrid's earnings decreased $204 million, primarily due to lower distribution revenue and higher interest expense. Units distributed increased 1.1% for 2025 compared to 2024 mainly due to higher customer usage;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• BHE Pipeline Group's earnings decreased $81 million, primarily due to higher interest expense at BHE GT&S, higher operations and maintenance expense and lower margins on gas sales at Northern Natural Gas, higher depreciation and amortization expense at BHE GT&S and Northern Natural Gas and lower equity earnings at BHE GT&S, partially offset by higher transportation and storage revenues at Northern Natural Gas and BHE GT&S and higher variable revenue at Cove Point;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• BHE Renewables' earnings increased $138 million, primarily due to higher earnings from the wind tax equity investment portfolio, higher natural gas and geothermal earnings and higher solar earnings, partially offset by lower earnings from owned wind projects;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• HomeServices' earnings increased $131 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• BHE and Other's earnings decreased $338 million, primarily due to an unfavorable comparative change of $264 million and lower net interest and dividend income of $91 million, each related to the Company's investment in BYD, and unfavorable consolidated income tax adjustments, partially offset by lower interest expense.

Earnings on common shares increased $1,314 million for 2024 compared to 2023. Included in these results was a pre-tax gain in 2024 of $444 million ($351 million after-tax) compared to a pre-tax gain in 2023 of $639 million ($505 million after-tax) related to the Company's investment in BYD. Excluding the impact of this item, adjusted earnings on common shares in 2024 was $3,949 million, an increase of $1,468 million, or 59%, compared to adjusted earnings on common shares in 2023 of $2,481 million.

The increase in earnings on common shares for 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Utilities' earnings increased $1,055 million largely due to a decrease in wildfire loss accruals, net of expected insurance recoveries, of $1,331 million, higher electric utility margin, higher PTCs and increased allowances for equity and borrowed funds used during construction. These items were offset by increased interest expense and increased operations and maintenance expense. Electric retail customer volumes increased 3.6% for 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to higher customer usage and an increase in the average number of customers, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of weather;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Northern Powergrid's earnings increased $382 million, primarily due to higher distribution revenue, the write-off of gas exploration costs in 2023 and lower income tax expense from charges recognized in 2023 related to the Energy Profits Levy income tax and a group relief tax claim recognized in 2024, partially offset by higher distribution-related costs and unfavorable operating performance at the upstream gas exploration and production business. Units distributed increased 0.4% mainly due to the favorable impact of weather;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• BHE Pipeline Group's earnings increased $153 million, primarily due to the acquisition of an additional 50% limited partner interest in Cove Point on September 1, 2023;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• BHE Renewables' earnings decreased $71 million, primarily due to lower earnings from the wind tax equity investment portfolio, gains on the extinguishment of debt recognized in 2023 and lower geothermal and natural gas earnings, partially offset by higher earnings from the retail energy service business;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• HomeServices' earnings decreased $120 million, primarily due to a 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, partially offset by higher mortgage earnings and favorable operating expenses; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• BHE and Other's earnings decreased $102 million, primarily due to an unfavorable comparative change of $154 million related to the Company's investment in BYD, partially offset by lower dividends due to the final redemption of BHE's 4.00% Perpetual Preferred Stock issued to certain subsidiaries of Berkshire Hathaway in December 2023.

Wind earnings decreased due to lower earnings from the wind tax equity investment portfolio of $49 million and lower earnings at owned wind projects of $24 million, primarily due to gains on the extinguishment of debt recognized in 2023 and lower revenue.

*HomeServices* 

Operating revenue decreased $27 million for 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to lower brokerage and settlement services revenue of $50 million, partially offset by higher mortgage revenue of $20 million. The decrease in brokerage and settlement services revenue resulted from a 5% 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 driven primarily by a 9% increase in average loan size.

Earnings increased $131 million for 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 and favorable operating expenses, partially offset by the write-off of internally developed software costs.

Operating revenue increased $32 million for 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to higher mortgage revenue of $35 million. The increase in mortgage revenue was due to a 4% increase in funded volume, primarily due to higher refinance activity and a 7% increase in average loan size.

Earnings decreased $120 million for 2024 compared to 2023, 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, partially offset by higher mortgage earnings of $31 million, mainly due to higher revenue, and favorable operating expenses.

------

*BHE and Other* 

Earnings decreased $338 million for 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to the $264 million unfavorable comparative change and lower net interest and dividend income of $91 million each related to the Company's investment in BYD and unfavorable consolidated income tax adjustments totaling $43 million, partially offset by lower interest expense of $69 million largely due to lower outstanding long-term debt balances.

Earnings decreased $102 million for 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to the $154 million unfavorable comparative change and lower net interest and dividend income of $18 million each related to the Company's investment in BYD, partially offset by $34 million of lower dividends due to the final redemption of BHE's 4.00% Perpetual Preferred Stock issued to certain subsidiaries of Berkshire Hathaway in December 2023 and favorable consolidated income tax adjustments totaling $28 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 this Form 10-K for further discussion regarding the limitation of distributions from BHE's subsidiaries.

------

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA") was enacted, introducing substantial revisions to federal energy-related tax policy. Among its provisions, the OBBBA accelerates the phase-out of clean electricity production and investment tax credits and establishes new sourcing requirements applicable to facilities commencing construction after December 31, 2025. On July 7, 2025, a federal executive order (the "Executive Order") was issued directing the Secretary of the Treasury to promulgate new or revised guidance consistent with applicable law to ensure that policies concerning the "beginning of construction" requirements are not circumvented for wind and solar-powered generating facilities. In response, the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury issued partial guidance on September 2, 2025, through Notice 2025-42. While the guidance largely reaffirmed existing standards, it notably eliminated the five percent safe harbor method for establishing the beginning of construction for projects commencing construction on or after September 2, 2025. The OBBBA and Notice 2025-42 did not have a material impact on the Company's 2025 consolidated financial results.

The Company's future financial performance and capital expenditures related to renewable energy, storage and technology neutral projects may be affected by the combined effects of the OBBBA, the Executive Order, and broader macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including changes in international trade policies and tariff regimes. The pace of change in these areas accelerated during 2025, and uncertainty persists regarding the scope and duration of these external factors. However, the Company currently does not believe these items and any resulting changes to future capital project allocations will significantly impact its business in the near term.

<u>Operating Activities</u>

Net cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $8,359 million and $8,442 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the timing of payments related to fuel and energy costs, lower income tax receipts and higher cash paid for interest, partially offset by favorable operating results and changes in working capital, including receipt of $98 million of insurance reimbursements related to wildfire liabilities and a decrease in wildfire liability settlement payments.

Net cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $8.4 billion and $7.1 billion, respectively. The increase was primarily due to favorable operating results, changes in working capital, including receipt of $401 million of insurance reimbursements related to wildfire liabilities, a decrease in wildfire liability settlement payments and higher income tax receipts, partially offset by higher cash paid for interest.

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.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

Net cash flows from investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $(10.1) billion and $(6.0) billion, respectively.

Refer to "Future Uses of Cash" for further discussion of capital expenditures.

Net cash flows from investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $(6.0) billion and $(5.9) billion, respectively.

*Debt Repurchases* 

The Company may from time to time seek to acquire its outstanding debt securities through cash purchases in the open market, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Any debt securities repurchased by the Company may be reissued or resold by the Company from time to time and will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company's liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

*Preferred Stock Redemptions*

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2023, BHE redeemed at par 481,000 and 849,982 shares of its 4.00% Perpetual Preferred Stock from certain subsidiaries of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. for $481 million and $850 million.

There were no common stock repurchases for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2023.

<u>Future Uses of Cash</u>

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 customers' 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. Expenditures for certain assets may ultimately include acquisitions of existing assets.

<u>Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements</u>

The Company has certain investments that are accounted for under the equity method in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, an amount is recorded on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as an equity investment and is increased or decreased for the Company's pro-rata share of earnings or losses, respectively, less any dividends from such investments. Certain equity investments are presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets net of investment tax credits.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company's investments that are accounted for under the equity method had short- and long-term debt of $2.9 billion, unused revolving credit facilities of $210 million and letters of credit outstanding of $27 million. As of December 31, 2025, the Company's pro-rata share of such short- and long-term debt was $1.4 billion, unused revolving credit facilities was $105 million and outstanding letters of credit was $13 million. The entire amount of the Company's pro-rata share of the outstanding short- and long-term debt and unused revolving credit facilities is non-recourse to the Company. The entire amount of the Company's pro-rata share of the outstanding letters of credit is recourse to the Company. Although the Company is generally not required to support debt service obligations of its equity investees, default with respect to this non-recourse short- and long-term debt could result in a loss of invested equity.

**Material Cash Requirements** 

The Company has cash requirements that may affect its consolidated financial condition that arise primarily from long- and short-term debt (refer to Note 9, 10 and 11), operating and financing leases (refer to Note 6), firm commitments (refer to Note 16), letters of credit (refer to Note 9), construction and other development costs (refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources included within this Item 7), uncertain tax positions (refer to Note 12) and AROs (refer to Note 14).

Debt of BHE and debt and preferred securities of certain of its subsidiaries are rated by credit rating agencies. Assigned credit ratings are based on each rating agency's assessment of the rated company's ability to, in general, meet the obligations of its issued debt or preferred securities. The credit ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and there is no assurance that a particular credit rating will continue for any given period of time.

BHE and its subsidiaries have no credit rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity dates of outstanding debt, and a change in ratings is not an event of default under the applicable debt instruments. The Company's unsecured revolving credit facilities do not require the maintenance of a minimum credit rating level in order to draw upon their availability. However, commitment fees and interest rates under the credit facilities are tied to credit ratings and increase or decrease when the ratings change. A ratings downgrade could also increase the future cost of commercial paper, short- and long-term debt issuances or new credit facilities.

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," or in some cases terminate the contract, in the event of a material adverse change in creditworthiness. These rights can vary by contract and by counterparty. As of December 31, 2025, the applicable entities' credit ratings from the recognized credit rating agencies were investment grade. If all credit-risk-related contingent features or adequate assurance provisions for these agreements had been triggered as of December 31, 2025, the Company would have been required to post $378 million of additional collateral. The Company's collateral requirements could fluctuate considerably due to market price volatility, changes in credit ratings, changes in legislation or regulation, or other factors.

**Inflation**

Historically, overall inflation and changing prices in the economies where BHE's subsidiaries operate have not had a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial results. In the U.S. and Canada, the Regulated Businesses operate under cost-of-service based rate-setting structures administered by various state and provincial commissions and the FERC. Under these rate-setting structures, the Regulated Businesses are allowed to include prudent costs in their rates, including the impact of inflation. The price control formula used by the Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies incorporates the rate of inflation in determining rates charged to customers. BHE's subsidiaries attempt to minimize the potential impact of inflation on their operations through the use of fuel, energy and other cost adjustment clauses and bill riders, by employing prudent risk management and hedging strategies and by considering, among other areas, its impact on purchases of energy, operating expenses, materials and equipment costs, contract negotiations, future capital spending programs and long-term debt issuances. There can be no assurance that such actions will be successful.

**New Accounting Pronouncements**

For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements affecting the Company, refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

**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. The following critical accounting estimates are impacted significantly by the Company's methods, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

------

*Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation*

The Regulated Businesses prepare their financial statements in accordance with authoritative guidance for regulated operations, which recognizes the economic effects of regulation. Accordingly, the Regulated Businesses defer the recognition of certain costs or income if it is probable that, through the ratemaking process, there will be a corresponding increase or decrease in future regulated rates. Regulatory assets and liabilities are established to reflect the impacts of these deferrals, which will be recognized in earnings in the periods the corresponding changes in regulated rates occur.

The Company continually evaluates the applicability of the guidance for regulated operations and whether its regulatory assets and liabilities are probable of inclusion in future regulated rates by considering factors such as a change in the regulator's approach to setting rates from cost-based ratemaking to another form of regulation, other regulatory actions or the impact of competition that could limit the Regulated Businesses' ability to recover their costs. The Company believes its application of the guidance for regulated operations is appropriate and its existing regulatory assets and liabilities are probable of inclusion in future regulated rates. The evaluation reflects the current political and regulatory climate at the federal, state and provincial levels. If it becomes no longer probable that the deferred costs or income will be included in future regulated rates, the related regulatory assets and liabilities will be recognized in net income, returned to customers or re-established as AOCI. Total regulatory assets were $4.8 billion and total regulatory liabilities were $7.0 billion as of December 31, 2025. Refer to Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Regulated Businesses' regulatory assets and liabilities.

*Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets*

The Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025, includes goodwill of acquired businesses of $11.5 billion. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually and completed its annual review as of October 31, 2025. Additionally, no indicators of impairment were identified as of December 31, 2025. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of the reporting unit and performing goodwill impairment tests. The Company uses a variety of methods to estimate a reporting unit's fair value, principally discounted projected future net cash flows. Key assumptions used include, but are not limited to, the use of estimated future cash flows; multiples of earnings or rate base; and an appropriate discount rate. Estimated future cash flows are impacted by, among other factors, growth rates, changes in regulations and rates, ability to renew contracts and estimates of future commodity prices. In estimating future cash flows, the Company incorporates current market information, as well as historical factors.

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment, including property, plant and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable or when the assets are being held for sale. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the asset is reviewed to assess whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of the asset plus the residual value from the ultimate disposal exceeds the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amounts, the asset is written down to the estimated fair value and any resulting impairment loss is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a majority of all property, plant and equipment is used in regulated businesses, the impacts of regulation are considered when evaluating the carrying value of regulated assets.

The estimate of cash flows arising from the future use of an asset, for the purposes of impairment analysis, requires the exercise of judgment. Circumstances that could significantly alter the calculation of fair value or the recoverable amount of an asset may include significant changes in the regulatory environment, the business climate, management's plans, legal factors, market price of the asset, the use of the asset, the physical condition of the asset, future market prices, load growth, competition and many other factors over the life of the asset. Any resulting impairment loss is highly dependent on the underlying assumptions and could significantly affect the Company's results of operations.

*Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits*

Certain of the Company's subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans that cover the majority of employees. The Company recognizes the funded status of the defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Funded status is the fair value of plan assets minus the benefit obligation as of the measurement date. As of December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a net asset totaling $471 million for the funded status of the defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. As of December 31, 2025, amounts not yet recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost that were included in net regulatory assets totaled $122 million and in AOCI totaled $646 million.

------

The expense and benefit obligations relating to these defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans are based on actuarial valuations. Inherent in these valuations are key assumptions, including, but not limited to, discount rates, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and healthcare cost trend rates. These key assumptions are reviewed annually and modified as appropriate. The Company believes that the key assumptions utilized in recording obligations under the plans are reasonable based on prior plan experience and current market and economic conditions. Refer to Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for disclosures about the defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans, including the key assumptions used to calculate the funded status and net periodic benefit cost for these plans as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company chooses a discount rate based upon high quality debt security investment yields in effect as of the measurement date that corresponds to the expected benefit period. The pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities increase as the discount rate is reduced.

In establishing its assumption as to the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, the Company utilizes the expected asset allocation and return assumptions for each asset class based on historical performance and forward-looking views of the financial markets. Pension and other postretirement benefits expense increases as the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets decreases. The Company regularly reviews its actual asset allocations and rebalances its investments to its targeted allocations when considered appropriate.

The Company chooses a healthcare cost trend rate that reflects the near and long-term expectations of increases in medical costs and corresponds to the expected benefit payment periods. The healthcare cost trend rate is assumed to gradually decline to 5.00% by 2035, at which point the rate of increase is assumed to remain constant.

The key assumptions used may differ materially from period to period due to changing market and economic conditions. These differences may result in a significant impact to pension and other postretirement benefits expense and funded status. If changes were to occur for the following key assumptions, the approximate effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements would be as follows (dollars in millions):

---

A variety of factors affect the funded status of the plans, including discount rates, asset returns, mortality assumptions, plan changes and the Company's funding policy for each plan.

------

*Income Taxes* 

In determining the Company's income taxes, management is required to interpret complex income tax laws and regulations, which includes consideration of regulatory implications imposed by the Company's various regulatory commissions. The Company's income tax returns are subject to continuous examinations by federal, state, local and foreign income tax authorities that may give rise to different interpretations of these complex laws and regulations. Due to the nature of the examination process, it generally takes years before these examinations are completed and these matters are resolved. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Although the ultimate resolution of the Company's federal, state, local and foreign income tax examinations is uncertain, the Company believes it has made adequate provisions for these income tax positions. The aggregate amount of any additional income tax liabilities that may result from these examinations is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial results. Refer to Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company's income taxes.

It is probable the Company's regulated businesses will pass income tax benefit and expense related to the federal tax rate change from 35% to 21%, certain property-related basis differences and other various differences on to their customers. As of December 31, 2025, these amounts were recognized as a net regulatory liability of $1.7 billion and will be included in regulated rates when the temporary differences reverse.

The Company has not established deferred income taxes on its undistributed foreign earnings from Northern Powergrid that have been determined by management to be reinvested indefinitely; however, the Company periodically evaluates its capital requirements. If circumstances change in the future and a portion of the Company's undistributed foreign earnings were repatriated, the dividends may be subject to taxation in the U.S. but the tax is not expected to be material.

*Loss Contingencies*

As a result of certain conditions, situations or circumstances involving uncertainty as to possible loss, including (i) several wildfires that have occurred in the Company's service territory and surrounding areas in the western U.S. and Canada and (ii) antitrust cases at HomeServices, the Company is required to evaluate its exposure to potential loss contingencies arising from claims associated with these items. In determining this exposure, the Company is required to assess whether the likelihood of loss for each of these items is remote, reasonably possible or probable, which involves complex judgments based on several variables including available information regarding the outcome of the appeals process, cause and origin investigations, settlement medication activities, other litigation matters and upcoming legal proceedings. If deemed reasonably possible, the Company is required to estimate the potential loss or range of potential loss and disclose any material amounts. If deemed probable, the Company is required to accrue a loss if reasonably estimable based on the bottom end of the range if no amount within the range of estimated loss is any better than another amount. Many assumptions and variables are involved in determining the estimates relative to wildfires, including identifying the various categories of potential loss such as fire suppression costs, real and personal property damages, natural resource damages and noneconomic damages such as personal injury damages and loss of life damages. Within the categories of potential loss, further assumptions are made regarding items such as the types of structures damaged, estimated replacement values associated with those structures, value of personal property, the types of natural resource damage such as timber, the value of that timber, the nature of noneconomic damages such as those arising from personal injuries, other damages the Company may be responsible for if found negligent such as punitive damages, and the amount of any penalties or fines that may be imposed by governmental entities. Estimates associated with the Wildfires are subject to change as additional relevant information becomes available. Refer to Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company's loss contingencies associated with wildfires and the antitrust cases at HomeServices.

**Item 7A.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

The Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets include assets and liabilities with fair values that are subject to market risks. The Company's significant market risks are primarily associated with commodity prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and the extension of credit to counterparties with which the Company transacts. The following discussion addresses the significant market risks associated with the Company's business activities. Each of the Company's businesses has established guidelines for credit risk management.

------

<u>Commodity Price Risk</u>

The Company is principally exposed to electricity, natural gas, coal and fuel oil commodity price risk primarily through BHE's ownership of the Utilities as they have an obligation to serve retail customer load in their regulated service territories. The Utilities' 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, wholesale electricity that is purchased and sold and natural gas supply for retail customers. 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 Company does not engage in a material amount of proprietary trading activities. To manage a portion of its commodity price risk, the Company 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. The Company does not hedge all of its commodity price risk, thereby exposing the unhedged portion to changes in market prices. The Company's exposure to commodity price risk is generally limited by its ability to include commodity costs in regulated rates, which is subject to regulatory lag that occurs between the time the costs are incurred and when the costs are included in regulated rates, as well as the impact of any customer sharing resulting from cost adjustment mechanisms.

The table that follows summarizes the Company's price risk on commodity contracts accounted for as derivatives, excluding collateral netting of $75 million and $9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and shows the effects of a hypothetical 10% increase and 10% decrease in forward market prices with the contracted or expected volumes. The selected hypothetical change does not reflect what could be considered the best or worst case scenarios (dollars in millions).

| Designated as hedging contracts | 1 | (1) | 3 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total commodity derivative contracts | $(189) | $(154) | $(224) |
| **<u>As of December 31, 2024:</u>** |  |  |  |

| Designated as hedging contracts | 21 | 23 | 19 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total commodity derivative contracts | $(147) | $(95) | $(199) |

---

The settled cost of certain of the Company's commodity derivative contracts not designated as hedging contracts is included in regulated rates and, therefore, net unrealized gains and losses associated with interim price movements on commodity derivative contracts do not expose the Company to earnings volatility. Consolidated financial results would be negatively impacted if the costs of wholesale electricity, wholesale natural gas or fuel are higher than what is included in regulated rates, including the impacts of adjustment mechanisms. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, a net regulatory asset of $206 million and $181 million, respectively, was recorded related to the net derivative liability of $190 million and $168 million, respectively. For the Company's commodity derivative contracts designated as hedging contracts, net unrealized gains and losses associated with interim price movements on commodity derivative contracts, to the extent the hedge is considered effective, generally do not expose the Company to earnings volatility.

<u>Interest Rate Risk</u>

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its outstanding variable-rate short- and long-term debt, future debt issuances and mortgage commitments. The Company 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. As a result of the fixed interest rates, the Company's fixed-rate long-term debt does not expose the Company to the risk of loss due to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, because fixed-rate long-term debt is not carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, changes in fair value would impact earnings and cash flows only if the Company were to reacquire all or a portion of these instruments prior to their maturity. The nature and amount of the Company's short- and long-term debt can be expected to vary from period to period as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. Refer to Notes 9, 10, 11, and 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion of the Company's short and long-term debt.

------

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had short- and long-term variable-rate obligations totaling $2.3 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, that expose the Company to the risk of increased interest expense in the event of increases in short-term interest rates. If variable interest rates were to increase by 10% from December 31 levels, it would not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated annual interest expense. The carrying value of the variable-rate obligations approximates fair value as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Company may from time to time enter into interest rate derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps or locks, forward sale commitments or mortgage interest rate lock commitments, to mitigate the Company's exposure to interest rate risk. Changes in fair value of agreements designated as cash flow hedges are reported in AOCI to the extent the hedge is effective until the forecasted transaction occurs. Changes in fair value of agreements not designated as hedging contracts are recognized in earnings. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $289 million and $370 million, respectively, £106 million and £137 million, respectively, and A$— million and A$154 million, respectively, to protect the Company against an increase in interest rates. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had mortgage commitments, net, with notional amounts of $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, to protect the Company against an increase in interest rates. The fair value of the Company's interest rate derivative contracts was a net derivative asset of $42 million and $79 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. A hypothetical 10 basis point increase and a 10 basis point decrease in interest rates would not have a material impact on the Company.

The Company holds foreign currency swaps with the purpose of hedging the foreign currency exchange rate associated with Euro denominated debt. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had €250 million in aggregate notional amounts of these foreign currency swaps outstanding. A hypothetical 10% decrease in market interest rates would not have resulted in a material decrease in fair value of the Company's foreign currency swaps.

<u>Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk</u>

BHE's business operations and investments outside of the U.S. increase its risk related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates primarily in relation to the British pound and the Canadian dollar. BHE's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, and the value of the assets and liabilities, earnings, cash flows and potential distributions from BHE's foreign operations changes with the fluctuations of the currency in which they transact.

Northern Powergrid's functional currency is the British pound. As of December 31, 2025, a 10% devaluation in the British pound to the U.S. dollar would result in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet being negatively impacted by a $532 million cumulative translation adjustment in AOCI. A 10% devaluation in the average currency exchange rate would have resulted in lower reported earnings for Northern Powergrid of $34 million in 2025.

BHE Canada's functional currency is the Canadian dollar. As of December 31, 2025, a 10% devaluation in the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar would result in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet being negatively impacted by a $372 million cumulative translation adjustment in AOCI. A 10% devaluation in the average currency exchange rate would have resulted in lower reported earnings for BHE Canada of $19 million in 2025.

<u>Credit Risk</u>

*Domestic Regulated Operations*

The Utilities are 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 the Utilities' counterparties have similar economic, industry or other characteristics and due to direct or indirect relationships among the counterparties. Before entering into a transaction, the Utilities analyze the financial condition of each significant wholesale counterparty, establish limits on the amount of unsecured credit to be extended to each counterparty and evaluate the appropriateness of unsecured credit limits on an ongoing basis. To further mitigate wholesale counterparty credit risk, the Utilities enter 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, the Utilities exercise rights under these arrangements, including calling on the counterparty's credit support arrangement.

------

As of December 31, 2025, PacifiCorp's aggregate credit exposure with wholesale energy supply and marketing counterparties included counterparties having non-investment grade, internally rated credit ratings. Substantially all of these non-investment grade, internally rated counterparties are associated with long-duration solar and wind power purchase agreements, some of which are from facilities that have not yet achieved commercial operation and for which PacifiCorp has no obligation should the facilities not achieve commercial operation.

Substantially all of MidAmerican Energy's electric wholesale sales revenue results from participation in RTOs, including the MISO and the PJM. MidAmerican Energy's share of historical losses from defaults by other RTO market participants has not been material. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025, MidAmerican Energy's aggregate direct credit exposure from electric wholesale marketing counterparties was not material.

As of December 31, 2025, NV Energy's aggregate credit exposure from energy related transactions, based on settlement and mark-to-market exposures, net of collateral, was not material.

BHE GT&S primary customers include electric and natural gas distribution utilities, natural gas producers and LNG export, import and storage customers. Northern Natural Gas' primary customers include utilities in the upper Midwest. Kern River's primary customers are electric and natural gas distribution utilities, major oil and natural gas companies or affiliates of such companies, electric generating companies, energy marketing and trading companies and financial institutions. As a general policy, collateral is not required for receivables from creditworthy customers. Customers' financial condition and creditworthiness, as defined by the tariff, are regularly evaluated and historical losses have been minimal. In order to provide protection against credit risk, and as permitted by the separate terms of each of BHE GT&S, Northern Natural Gas' and Kern River's tariffs, the companies have required customers that lack creditworthiness to provide cash deposits, letters of credit or other security until they meet the creditworthiness requirements of the respective tariff.

*Northern Powergrid* 

The Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies charge fees for the use of their distribution systems to supply companies. The supply companies purchase electricity from generators and traders, sell the electricity to end-use customers and use the Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies' distribution networks pursuant to the multilateral "Distribution Connection and Use of System Agreement." The Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies' customers are concentrated in a small number of electricity supply businesses. During 2025, E.ON and certain of its affiliates, British Gas Trading Limited and Octopus Energy Group Limited represented 16%, 15% and 12%, respectively, of the total combined distribution revenue of the Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies. The industry operates in accordance with a framework which sets credit limits for each supply business based on its credit rating or payment history and requires them to provide credit cover if their value at risk (measured as being equivalent to 45 days usage) exceeds the credit limit. Acceptable credit typically is provided in the form of a parent company guarantee, letter of credit or an escrow account. Ofgem has indicated that, provided the Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies have implemented credit control, billing and collection in line with best practice guidelines and can demonstrate compliance with the guidelines or are able to satisfactorily explain departure from the guidelines, any bad debt losses arising from supplier default will be recovered through an increase in future allowed income. Losses incurred to date have not been material.

*BHE Canada* 

AltaLink's primary source of operating revenue is the AESO, an entity rated AA- by Standard and Poor's. Because of the dependence on a single customer, any material failure of the customer to fulfill its obligations would significantly impair AltaLink's ability to meet its existing and future obligations. Total operating revenue for AltaLink was $666 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

*BHE Renewables* 

BHE Renewables owns independent power projects that generally have separate project financing agreements. Operating revenue for these projects is derived primarily from long-term power purchase agreements with single customers, primarily utilities, which expire between 2026 and 2043. Because of the dependence generally from a single customer at each project, any material failure of the customer to fulfill its obligations would significantly impair that project's ability to meet its existing and future obligations. Total operating revenue for BHE Renewables' independent power projects was $1.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Board of Directors and the shareholders of

Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company

Des Moines, Iowa

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matters**

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the Board of Directors and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

**Regulatory Matters — Effects of Rate Regulation on the Financial Statements — Refer to Note 7 to the financial statements**

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

The Company is subject to rate regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as well as certain other regulatory commissions (collectively, the "Commissions"), which have jurisdiction with respect to the rates of electric and natural gas companies in the respective service territories where the Company operates. Management has determined its regulated operations meet the requirements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to prepare its financial statements applying the specialized rules to account for the effects of cost-based rate regulation. Accounting for the economic effects of rate regulation has a pervasive effect on the financial statements.

------

Regulated rates are subject to regulatory rate-setting processes. Rates are determined, approved, and established based on a cost-of-service basis, which is designed to allow the Company an opportunity to recover its prudently incurred costs of providing services and to earn a reasonable return on its invested capital. Regulatory decisions can have an effect on the recovery of costs, the rate of return earned on investment, and the timing and amount of assets to be recovered by rates. While the Company has indicated it expects to recover costs from customers through regulated rates, there is a risk that changes to the Commissions' approach to setting rates or other regulatory actions could limit the Company's ability to recover its costs.

We identified the effects of rate regulation on the financial statements as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgments made by management to support its assertions about certain affected account balances and disclosures and the high degree of subjectivity involved in assessing the impact of regulatory orders on the financial statements. Management judgments include assessing the likelihood of (1) recovery in future rates of incurred costs, (2) a disallowance of part of the cost of recently completed plant or plant under construction, and (3) refunds to customers. Given that management's accounting judgments are based on assumptions about the outcome of decisions by the Commissions, auditing these judgments required specialized knowledge of accounting for rate regulation and the rate setting process due to its inherent complexities.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to the uncertainty of decisions by the Commissions included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated the Company's disclosures related to the effects of rate regulation, by testing certain recorded balances and evaluating regulatory developments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We read relevant regulatory orders issued by the Commissions, regulatory statutes, filings made by the Company and other external information. We evaluated relevant external information and compared it to certain recorded regulatory asset and liability balances for completeness.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For certain regulatory matters, we inspected the Company's filings with the Commissions and the filings with the Commissions by intervenors to assess the likelihood of recovery in future rates or of a future reduction in rates based on precedents of the Commissions' treatment of similar costs under similar circumstances.

**Wildfires — Contingencies — Refer to Note 16 to the financial statements**

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

As a result of several wildfires that have occurred in the Company's service territory and surrounding areas in Oregon and California, the Company is required to evaluate its exposure to potential loss contingencies arising from claims associated with the 2020 Wildfires and the 2022 McKinney Fire (the "Wildfires"). In determining this exposure, the Company is required to determine whether the likelihood of loss for each of the Wildfires is remote, reasonably possible or probable, which involves complex judgments based on several variables including available information regarding the cause and origin of the Wildfires, investigations, discovery associated with lawsuits and negotiations with claimants.

A provision for a loss contingency is recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If deemed reasonably possible, the Company is required to estimate and disclose the potential loss or range of potential loss.

Management has recorded estimated liabilities, which represent its best estimate of probable losses associated with the Wildfires.

We identified wildfire-related contingencies and the related disclosures as a critical audit matter because of the significant judgments made by management to determine the probability of loss and estimate the probable losses. Auditing the reasonableness of management's judgments, estimates and disclosures related to wildfire-related loss contingencies required the application of a high degree of judgment and extensive effort.

------

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to management's judgments regarding the probability of loss, estimated losses and related disclosures for wildfire-related contingencies included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated management's judgments related to whether a loss was remote, reasonably possible, or probable for the Wildfires by inquiring of management and the Company's external and internal legal counsel regarding the likelihood of loss and amounts of probable and reasonably possible losses. We also evaluated the potential impact of information gained through the Company and third parties' investigations into the cause of the fires, information from claimants, the advice of legal counsel, and reading external information for any evidence that might contradict management's assertions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated the estimation methodology for determining the amount of probable and reasonably possible losses through inquiries with management and external and internal legal counsel and we tested the significant assumptions, including certain settlements, used in the estimates of probable and reasonably possible losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We read legal letters from the Company's external and internal legal counsel regarding known information and evaluated whether the information therein was consistent with the information obtained in our procedures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated whether the Company's disclosures were appropriate and consistent with the information obtained in our procedures.

**BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY ENERGY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(1)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Organization and Operations** 

Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company ("BHE"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway"), is a holding company headquartered in Iowa that has investments in a highly diversified portfolio of locally managed and operated businesses principally engaged in the energy industry (collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company").

The Company's operations are organized as eight business segments: PacifiCorp and its subsidiaries ("PacifiCorp"), MidAmerican Funding, LLC and its subsidiaries ("MidAmerican Funding") (which primarily consists of MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican Energy")), NV Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("NV Energy") (which primarily consists of Nevada Power Company and its subsidiaries ("Nevada Power") and Sierra Pacific Power Company and its subsidiaries ("Sierra Pacific")), Northern Powergrid Holdings Company and its subsidiaries ("Northern Powergrid") (which primarily consists of Northern Powergrid (Northeast) plc and Northern Powergrid (Yorkshire) plc), BHE Pipeline Group, LLC and its subsidiaries (which primarily consists of BHE GT&S, LLC and its subsidiaries ("BHE GT&S"), Northern Natural Gas Company ("Northern Natural Gas") and Kern River Gas Transmission Company ("Kern River")), BHE Transmission (which consists of BHE Canada Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries ("BHE Canada") (which primarily consists of AltaLink, L.P. ("AltaLink")) and BHE U.S. Transmission, LLC and its subsidiaries), BHE Renewables, LLC and its subsidiaries ("BHE Renewables") and HomeServices of America, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("HomeServices"). The Company, through these locally managed and operated businesses, has investments in four utility companies in the U.S. serving customers in 11 states, two electricity distribution companies in Great Britain, five interstate natural gas pipeline companies and interests in a liquefied natural gas ("LNG") export, import and storage facility in the U.S., an electric transmission business in Canada, interests in electric transmission businesses in the U.S., a renewable energy business primarily investing in wind, solar, geothermal and hydroelectric projects, one of the largest residential real estate brokerage firms and a residential real estate brokerage business in the U.S.

**(2)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** 

*Basis of Consolidation and Presentation*

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of BHE and its subsidiaries in which it holds a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement date. The Consolidated Statements of Operations include the revenue and expenses of any acquired entities from the date of acquisition. The Company consolidates variable interest entities ("VIE") in which it possesses both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

*Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements*

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, the effects of regulation; impairment of goodwill; recovery of long-lived assets; certain assumptions made in accounting for pension and other postretirement benefits; asset retirement obligations ("AROs"); income taxes; unbilled revenue; valuation of certain financial assets and liabilities, including derivative contracts; and accounting for loss contingencies and applicable insurance recoveries, including those related to the Oregon and Northern California 2020 wildfires (the "2020 Wildfires") and a 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"), referred to together as "the Wildfires" as discussed in Note 16. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements.

------

*Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation*

PacifiCorp, MidAmerican Energy, Nevada Power, Sierra Pacific, BHE GT&S, Northern Natural Gas, Kern River and AltaLink (the "Regulated Businesses") prepare their financial statements in accordance with authoritative guidance for regulated operations, which recognizes the economic effects of regulation. Accordingly, the Regulated Businesses defer the recognition of certain costs or income if it is probable that, through the ratemaking process, there will be a corresponding increase or decrease in future regulated rates. Regulatory assets and liabilities are established to reflect the impacts of these deferrals, which will be recognized in earnings in the periods the corresponding changes in regulated rates occur. If it becomes no longer probable that the deferred costs or income will be included in future regulated rates, the related regulatory assets and liabilities will be recognized in net income, returned to customers or re-established as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI").

*Fair Value Measurements*

As defined under GAAP, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability between market participants in the principal market or in the most advantageous market when no principal market exists. Adjustments to transaction prices or quoted market prices may be required in illiquid or disorderly markets in order to estimate fair value. Alternative valuation techniques may be appropriate under the circumstances to determine the value that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction. Market participants are assumed to be independent, knowledgeable, able and willing to transact an exchange and not under duress. Nonperformance or credit risk is considered when determining fair value. Considerable judgment may be required in interpreting market data used to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current or future market exchange.

*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 debt service obligations for certain of the Company's nonregulated renewable energy projects. A reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 December 31,** | **As of December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $1695 | $1392 |
| Investments and restricted cash and cash equivalents | 168 | 177 |
| Investments and restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments | 15 | 17 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents | $1878 | $1586 |

---

*Investments*

*Fixed Maturity Securities*

The Company's management determines the appropriate classification of investments in fixed maturity securities at the acquisition date and reevaluates the classification at each balance sheet date. Investments and restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments that management does not intend to use or is restricted from using in current operations are presented as noncurrent on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

------

Available-for-sale investments are carried at fair value with realized gains and losses, as determined on a specific identification basis, recognized in earnings and unrealized gains and losses recognized in AOCI, net of tax. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturity securities in a trust related to the decommissioning of the Quad Cities Generating Station Units 1 and 2 ("Quad Cities Station") are recorded as a net regulatory liability because the Company expects to refund to customers any decommissioning funds in excess of costs for these activities through regulated rates. Trading investments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortized cost, reflecting the ability and intent to hold the securities to maturity. The difference between the original cost and maturity value of a fixed maturity security is amortized to earnings using the interest method.

Investment gains and losses arise when investments are sold (as determined on a specific identification basis) or are other-than-temporarily impaired with respect to securities classified as available-for-sale. If the fair value of a fixed maturity investment declines to below amortized cost and the decline is deemed other than temporary, the amortized cost of the investment is reduced to fair value, with a corresponding charge to earnings. Any resulting impairment loss is recognized in earnings if the Company intends to sell, or expects to be required to sell, the debt security before its amortized cost is recovered. If the Company does not expect to ultimately recover the amortized cost basis even if it does not intend to sell the security, the credit loss component is recognized in earnings and any difference between fair value and the amortized cost basis, net of the credit loss, is reflected in other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI"). For regulated fixed maturity investments, any impairment charge is offset by the establishment of a regulatory asset to the extent recovery in regulated rates is probable.

*Equity Securities*

Investments in equity securities are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as a component of gains (losses) on marketable securities, net. All changes in fair value of equity securities in a trust related to the decommissioning of the Quad Cities Station are recorded as a net regulatory liability because the Company expects to refund to customers any decommissioning funds in excess of costs for these activities through regulated rates.

*Equity Method Investments*

The Company utilizes the equity method of accounting with respect to investments when it possesses the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial policies of the investee. The ability to exercise significant influence is presumed when the investor possesses more than 20% of the voting interests of the investee. This presumption may be overcome based on specific facts and circumstances that demonstrate that the ability to exercise significant influence is restricted. In applying the equity method, the Company records the investment at cost and subsequently increases or decreases the carrying value of the investment by the Company's share of the net earnings or losses and OCI of the investee. The Company records dividends or other equity distributions as reductions in the carrying value of the investment. Certain equity investments are presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets net of related investment tax credits.

*Allowance for Credit Losses*

Trade receivables are primarily short-term in nature with stated collection terms of less than one year from the date of origination and are stated at the outstanding principal amount, net of an estimated allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's assessment of the collectability of amounts owed to the Company by its customers. This assessment requires judgment regarding the ability of customers to pay or the outcome of any pending disputes. In measuring the allowance for credit losses for trade receivables, the Company primarily utilizes credit loss history. However, the Company may adjust the allowance for credit losses to reflect current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that deviate from historical experience. The changes in the balance of the allowance for credit losses, which is included in trade receivables, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, is summarized as follows for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Beginning balance | $79 | $102 | $106 |
| Charged to operating costs and expenses, net | 51 | 61 | 68 |
| Write-offs, net | (66) | (84) | (72) |
| Ending balance | $64 | $79 | $102 |

---

------

*Derivatives*

The Company employs a number of different derivative contracts, which may include forwards, futures, options, swaps and other agreements, to manage its commodity price, interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks. 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. Derivative balances reflect offsetting permitted under master netting agreements with counterparties and cash collateral paid or received under such agreements. Cash collateral received from or paid to counterparties to secure derivative contract assets or liabilities in excess of amounts offset is included in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Commodity derivatives used in normal business operations that are settled by physical delivery, among other criteria, are eligible for and may be designated as normal purchases or normal sales. Normal purchases or normal sales contracts are not marked-to-market and settled amounts are recognized as operating revenue or cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For the Company's derivatives not designated as hedging contracts, the settled amount is generally included in regulated rates. Accordingly, the net unrealized gains and losses associated with interim price movements on contracts that are accounted for as derivatives and probable of inclusion in regulated rates are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities. For the Company's derivatives not designated as hedging contracts and for which changes in fair value are not recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses are recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as operating revenue for sales contracts; cost of sales and operating expense for purchase contracts and electricity, natural gas and fuel swap contracts; and other, net for interest rate swap derivatives.

For the Company's derivatives designated as hedging contracts, the Company formally assesses, at inception and thereafter, whether the hedging contract is highly effective in offsetting changes in the hedged item. The Company formally documents hedging activity by transaction type and risk management strategy. For derivative instruments that are accounted for as cash flow hedges or fair value hedges, the cash flows from the derivatives and from the related hedged items are classified in operating cash flows.

Changes in the estimated fair value of a derivative contract designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge, to the extent effective, are included on the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity as AOCI, net of tax, until the contract settles and the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it has determined that a derivative contract no longer qualifies as an effective hedge, or when it is no longer probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will occur. When hedge accounting is discontinued because the derivative contract no longer qualifies as an effective hedge, future changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative contract are charged to earnings. Gains and losses related to discontinued hedges that were previously recorded in AOCI will remain in AOCI until the contract settles and the hedged item is recognized in earnings, unless it becomes probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will not occur at which time associated deferred amounts in AOCI are immediately recognized in earnings.

*Inventories*

Inventories consist mainly of fuel, which includes coal stocks, stored gas and fuel oil, totaling $399 million and $422 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and materials and supplies totaling $1,706 million and $1,540 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The cost of materials and supplies, coal stocks and fuel oil is determined primarily using the average cost method. The cost of stored gas is determined using either the last-in-first-out ("LIFO") method or the lower of average cost or market. With respect to inventories carried at LIFO cost, the replacement cost would be $26 million and $18 million higher as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

------

*Property, Plant and Equipment, Net*

*General*

Additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. The Company capitalizes all construction-related materials, direct labor and contract services, as well as indirect construction costs. Indirect construction costs include capitalized interest, including debt allowance for funds used during construction ("AFUDC"), and equity AFUDC, as applicable to the Regulated Businesses. The cost of additions and betterments are capitalized, while costs incurred that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the related assets are generally expensed. Additionally, MidAmerican Energy has regulatory arrangements in Iowa in which the carrying cost of certain utility plant has been reduced for amounts associated with electric returns on equity exceeding specified thresholds.

Depreciation and amortization are generally computed by applying the composite or straight-line method based on either estimated useful lives or mandated recovery periods as prescribed by the Company's various regulatory authorities. Depreciation studies are completed by the Regulated Businesses to determine the appropriate group lives, net salvage and group depreciation rates. These studies are reviewed and rates are ultimately approved by the applicable regulatory commission. Net salvage includes the estimated future residual values of the assets and any estimated removal costs recovered through approved depreciation rates. Estimated removal costs are recorded as either a cost of removal regulatory liability or an ARO liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, depending on whether the obligation meets the requirements of an ARO. As actual removal costs are incurred, the associated liability is reduced.

Generally when the Company retires or sells a component of regulated property, plant and equipment, it charges the original cost, net of any proceeds from the disposition, to accumulated depreciation. Any gain or loss on disposals of all other assets is recorded through earnings.

Debt and equity AFUDC, which represent the estimated costs of debt and equity funds necessary to finance the construction of regulated facilities, is capitalized by the Regulated Businesses as a component of property, plant and equipment, with offsetting credits to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. AFUDC is computed based on guidelines set forth by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") and the Alberta Utilities Commission. After construction is completed, the Company is permitted to earn a return on these costs as a component of the related assets, as well as recover these costs through depreciation expense over the useful lives of the related assets.

*Asset Retirement Obligations*

The Company recognizes AROs when it has a legal obligation to perform decommissioning, reclamation or removal activities upon retirement of an asset. The Company's AROs are primarily related to the decommissioning of the Quad Cities Station and obligations associated with its other generating facilities and offshore natural gas pipelines. The fair value of an ARO liability is recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset, which is then depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the ARO liability is adjusted for any revisions to the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows (with corresponding adjustments to property, plant and equipment, net) and for accretion of the ARO liability due to the passage of time. For the Regulated Businesses, the difference between the ARO liability, the corresponding ARO asset included in property, plant and equipment, net and amounts recovered in rates to satisfy such liabilities is recorded as a regulatory asset or liability.

*Impairment*

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment, including property, plant and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable or when the assets are being held for sale. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the asset is reviewed to assess whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of the asset plus the residual value from the ultimate disposal exceeds the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amounts, the asset is written down to the estimated fair value and any resulting impairment loss is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a majority of all property, plant and equipment is used in regulated businesses, the impacts of regulation are considered when evaluating the carrying value of regulated assets.

------

*Leases*

The Company has non-cancelable operating leases primarily for office space, office equipment, generating facilities, land and rail cars and finance leases consisting primarily of transmission assets, generating facilities and vehicles. These leases generally require the Company to pay for insurance, taxes and maintenance applicable to the leased property. Given the capital-intensive nature of the utility industry, it is common for a portion of lease costs to be capitalized when used during construction or maintenance of assets, in which the associated costs will be capitalized with the corresponding asset and depreciated over the remaining life of that asset. Certain leases contain renewal options for varying periods and escalation clauses for adjusting rent to reflect changes in price indices. The Company does not include options in its lease calculations unless there is a triggering event indicating the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option. The Company's accounting policy is to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease obligations for leases with contract terms of one year or less and not separate lease components from non-lease components and instead account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with a lease as a single lease component. Leases are evaluated for impairment in line with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment" when a triggering event has occurred that might affect the value and use of the assets being leased.

The Company's leases of generating facilities generally are for the long-term purchase of electric energy, also known as power purchase agreements ("PPA"). PPAs are generally signed before or during the early stages of project construction and can yield a lease that has not yet commenced. These agreements are primarily for renewable energy and the payments are considered variable lease payments as they are based on the amount of output.

The Company's operating and finance right-of-use assets are recorded in other assets and the operating and finance lease liabilities are recorded in current and long-term other liabilities accordingly.

*Goodwill*

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually and completed its annual review as of October 31, 2025. When evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds the estimated fair value, then the excess is charged to earnings as an impairment loss. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of the reporting unit and performing goodwill impairment tests. The determination of fair value incorporates significant unobservable inputs. During 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not record any material goodwill impairments.

The Company records goodwill adjustments for changes to the purchase price allocation prior to the end of the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.

*Revenue Recognition*

*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Customer Revenue*

The Company uses a single five-step model to identify and recognize revenue from contracts with customers ("Customer Revenue") upon transfer of control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company records sales, franchise and excise taxes collected directly from customers and remitted directly to the taxing authorities on a net basis on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the event one of the parties to a contract has performed before the other, the Company would recognize a contract asset or contract liability depending on the relationship between the Company's performance and the customer's payment.

*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Energy Products and Services*

A majority of the Company's energy revenue is derived from tariff-based sales arrangements approved by various regulatory commissions. These tariff-based revenues are mainly comprised of energy, transmission, distribution and natural gas and have performance obligations to deliver energy products and services to customers which are satisfied over time as energy is delivered or services are provided. The Company's energy revenue that is nonregulated primarily relates to the Company's renewable energy business.

------

Revenue recognized is equal to what the Company has the right to invoice as it generally corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company's performance to date and includes billed and unbilled amounts. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, trade receivables, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets relate substantially to Customer Revenue, including unbilled revenue of $811 million and $807 million, respectively. Payments for amounts billed are generally due from the customer within 30 days of billing. Rates charged for energy products and services are established by regulators or contractual arrangements that establish the transaction price as well as the allocation of price amongst the separate performance obligations. When preliminary regulated rates are permitted to be billed prior to final approval by the applicable regulator, certain revenue collected may be subject to refund and a liability for estimated refunds is accrued.

*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Real Estate Services*

The Company's HomeServices reportable segment consists of separate brokerage, mortgage and franchise businesses. Rates charged for brokerage, mortgage and franchise real estate services are established through contractual arrangements that establish the transaction price and the allocation of the price amongst the separate performance obligations.

The full-service residential real estate brokerage business has performance obligations to deliver integrated real estate services including brokerage services, title and closing services, property and casualty insurance, home warranties, relocation services, and other home-related services to customers. All performance obligations related to the full-service residential real estate brokerage business are satisfied in less than one year at the point in time when a real estate transaction is closed or when services are provided. Commission revenue from real estate brokerage transactions and related amounts due to agents are recognized when a real estate transaction is closed. Title and escrow closing fee revenue from real estate transactions and related amounts due to the title insurer are recognized at closing. Payments for amounts billed are generally due from the customer at closing.

The franchise business operates a network that has performance obligations to provide the right to use certain brand names and other related service marks as well as to provide orientation programs, training and consultation services, advertising programs and other services to its franchisees. The performance obligations related to the franchise business are satisfied over time or when the services are provided. Franchise royalty fees are sales-based variable consideration and are based on a percentage of commissions earned by franchisees on real estate sales, which are recognized when the sale closes. Meetings and training revenue, referral fees, late fees, service fees and franchise termination fees are earned when services have been completed. Payments for amounts billed are generally due from the franchisee within 30 days of billing.

*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other Revenue*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Energy Products and Services*

Other revenue consists primarily of revenue related to power purchase agreements not considered Customer Revenue as they are recognized in accordance with ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" and ASC 842, "Leases" and certain non-tariff-based revenue approved by the regulator that is not considered Customer Revenue within ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers."

*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Real Estate Service*

Mortgage and other revenue consists primarily of revenue related to the mortgage business. Mortgage fee revenue consists of amounts earned related to application and underwriting fees and fees on canceled loans. Fees associated with the origination of mortgage loans are recognized as earned. These amounts are not considered Customer Revenue as they are recognized in accordance with ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging," ASC 825, "Financial Instruments" and ASC 860, "Transfers and Servicing."

*Unamortized Debt Premiums, Discounts and Debt Issuance Costs*

Premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs incurred for the issuance of long-term debt are amortized over the term of the related financing using the effective interest method.

------

*Foreign Currency*

The accounts of foreign-based subsidiaries are measured in most instances using the local currency of the subsidiary as the functional currency. Revenue and expenses of these businesses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for the period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the end of the reporting period. Gains or losses from translating the financial statements of foreign-based operations are included in equity as a component of AOCI. Gains or losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity that is party to the transaction are included in earnings.

*Income Taxes*

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, pursuant to a tax allocation agreement.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted income tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities associated with components of OCI are charged or credited directly to OCI. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities associated with certain property-related basis differences and other various differences that the Company's regulated businesses deems probable to be passed on to their customers are charged or credited directly to a regulatory asset or liability and will be included in regulated rates when the temporary differences reverse. Other changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities are included as a component of income tax expense. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities attributable to changes in enacted income tax rates are charged or credited to income tax expense or a regulatory asset or liability in the period of enactment. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more-likely-than-not to be realized.

Investment tax credits are deferred and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the related properties or as prescribed by various regulatory commissions. The Company has not established deferred income taxes on its undistributed foreign earnings from Northern Powergrid that have been determined by management to be reinvested indefinitely.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company's unrecognized tax benefits are primarily included in accrued property, income and other taxes and other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Estimated interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense (benefit) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

*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 adopted this guidance for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025, under the retrospective method. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, but did expand the disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 12 for expanded rate reconciliation disclosures and disaggregation of income taxes paid.

------

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, as clarified in ASU 2025-01, 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 December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, Government Grants Topic 832, "Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities" which establishes accounting for government grants received by an entity, including guidance for a grant related to an asset and a grant related to income. This guidance also requires, consistent with current disclosure requirements, that an entity provide disclosures including the nature of the government grant received, the accounting policies used to account for the grant, and significant terms and conditions of the grant. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028. Early adoption is permitted and can be applied using either a modified prospective approach, a modified retrospective approach or a retrospective approach. 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.

**(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Business Acquisitions**

On September 1, 2023, BHE and Eastern MLP Holding Company II, LLC ("the Buyer"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BHE, completed the acquisition of DECP Holdings, Inc.'s (the "Seller"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Dominion Energy, Inc., 50% limited partner interests in Cove Point LNG, LP ("Cove Point") ("The Transaction"). Under the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated July 9, 2023 (the "Purchase Agreement"), the Buyer paid $3.3 billion in cash, plus the pro rata portion of the quarterly distribution made by Cove Point for the third fiscal quarter of 2023. BHE funded the Transaction with cash on hand, including cash realized from the liquidation of certain investments, which was contributed to BHE GT&S. The Buyer now holds 75% of the limited partner interests, and its affiliate, Cove Point GP Holding Company, LLC, continues to hold 100% of the general partner interest, of Cove Point. Prior to the Transaction, BHE held 100% of the general partner interest and 25% of the limited partner interests in Cove Point. BHE previously determined it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Cove Point's economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to it and accordingly, consolidated Cove Point. Because BHE controls Cove Point both before and after the Transaction, the changes in BHE's interest in Cove Point were accounted for as an equity transaction and no gain or loss was recognized. In connection with the Transaction, BHE recognized $120 million of income taxes in equity primarily attributable to the step up in tax basis of the investment in Cove Point of $144 million, partially offset by establishing additional regulatory liabilities related to excess deferred income taxes of $24 million.

Pursuant to MidAmerican Energy's mortgage dated September 9, 2013, MidAmerican Energy's first mortgage bonds, currently and from time to time outstanding, are secured by a first mortgage lien on substantially all of its electric generating, transmission and distribution property within the state of Iowa, subject to certain exceptions and permitted encumbrances. Approximately $26 billion of MidAmerican Energy's eligible property, based on original cost, was subject to the lien of the mortgage as of December 31, 2025. Additionally, MidAmerican Energy's senior notes outstanding are equally and ratably secured with the first mortgage bonds as required by the indentures under which the senior notes were issued.

MidAmerican Energy's variable-rate tax-exempt bond obligations bear interest at rates that are periodically established through remarketing of the bonds in the short-term tax-exempt market. MidAmerican Energy, at its option, may change the mode of interest calculation for these bonds by selecting from among several floating or fixed rate alternatives. The interest rates shown in the table above are the weighted average interest rates as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. MidAmerican Energy maintains revolving credit facility agreements to provide liquidity for holders of these issues. Additionally, MidAmerican Energy's obligations associated with the $30 million and $150 million variable rate, tax-exempt bond obligations due 2046 and 2047, respectively, are secured by an equal amount of first mortgage bonds pursuant to MidAmerican Energy's mortgage dated September 9, 2013, as supplemented and amended.

Energy-related tax credits relate primarily to production tax credits ("PTC") 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.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits totaling $81 million and $95 million, respectively, that if recognized, would have an impact on the effective tax rate. The remaining unrecognized tax benefits relate to tax positions for which ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty as to the timing of such deductibility. Recognition of these tax benefits, other than applicable interest and penalties, would not affect the Company's effective income tax rate.

**(13)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Employee Benefit Plans**

<u>Defined Benefit Plans</u>

*Domestic Operations*

PacifiCorp, MidAmerican Energy and NV Energy sponsor defined benefit pension plans that cover a majority of all employees of BHE and its domestic energy subsidiaries. These pension plans include noncontributory defined benefit pension plans, supplemental executive retirement plans ("SERP") and restoration plans. PacifiCorp, MidAmerican Energy and NV Energy also provide certain postretirement healthcare and life insurance benefits through various plans to eligible retirees.

*Net Periodic Benefit Cost (Credit)*

For purposes of calculating the expected return on plan assets, a market-related value is used. The market-related value of plan assets is generally calculated by spreading the difference between expected and actual investment returns over a five-year period beginning after the first year in which they occur.

Net periodic benefit cost (credit) for the plans included the following components for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

*Contributions and Benefit Payments*

Employer contributions to the pension and other postretirement benefit plans are expected to be $13 million and $4 million, respectively, during 2026. Funding to the established pension trusts is based upon the actuarially determined costs of the plans and the requirements of the IRC, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Pension Protection Act of 2006, as amended. The Company considers contributing additional amounts from time to time in order to achieve certain funding levels specified under the Pension Protection Act of 2006, as amended. The Company evaluates a variety of factors, including funded status, income tax laws and regulatory requirements, in determining contributions to its other postretirement benefit plans.

*Plan Assets*

<u>Investment Policy and Asset Allocations</u>

The Company's investment policy for its pension and other postretirement benefit plans is to balance risk and return through a diversified portfolio of debt securities, equity securities and other alternative investments. Maturities for debt securities are managed to targets consistent with prudent risk tolerances. The plans retain outside investment consultants to advise on plan investments within the parameters outlined by the Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company Investment Committee. The investment portfolio is managed in line with the investment policy with sufficient liquidity to meet near-term benefit payments.

The target allocations (percentage of plan assets) for the Company's pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets are as follows as of December 31, 2025:

(1)Refer to Note 15 for additional discussion regarding the three levels of the fair value hierarchy.

(2)Investment funds are comprised of mutual funds and collective trust funds. These funds consist of equity and debt securities of approximately 54% and 46%, respectively, for 2025 and 59% and 41%, respectively, for 2024. Additionally, these funds are invested in U.S. and international securities of approximately 97% and 3%, respectively, for 2025 and 88% and 12%, respectively, for 2024.

For level 1 investments, 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. For level 2 investments, the fair value is determined using pricing models based on observable market inputs. Shares of mutual funds not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, private equity limited partnership interests, common and commingled trust funds and investment entities are reported at fair value based on the net asset value per unit, which is used for expedience purposes. A fund's net asset value is based on the fair value of the underlying assets held by the fund less its liabilities.

*Foreign Operations*

Certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Northern Powergrid participate in the Northern Powergrid group of the United Kingdom industry-wide Electricity Supply Pension Scheme (the "UK Plan"), which provides pension and other related defined benefits, based on final pensionable pay, to the employees of Northern Powergrid. The UK Plan is closed to employees hired after July 23, 1997. Employees hired after that date are covered by a defined contribution plan sponsored by a wholly owned subsidiary of Northern Powergrid.

*Net Periodic Benefit Cost (Credit)*

For purposes of calculating the expected return on pension plan assets, a market-related value is used. The market-related value of plan assets is calculated by including the difference between expected and actual investment returns after the first year in which they occur.

Net periodic benefit cost (credit) for the UK Plan included the following components for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

---

*Plan Assets*

<u>Investment Policy and Asset Allocations</u>

The investment policy for the UK Plan is to balance risk and return through a diversified portfolio of debt securities, equity securities, real estate and other asset classes. Maturities for debt securities are managed to targets consistent with prudent risk tolerances. The UK Plan retains outside investment advisors to manage plan investments within the parameters set by the trustees of the UK Plan in consultation with Northern Powergrid. The investment portfolio is managed in line with the investment policy with sufficient liquidity to meet near-term benefit payments. The return on assets assumption is based on a weighted-average of the expected historical performance for the types of assets in which the UK Plan invests.

The target allocations (percentage of plan assets) for the UK Plan assets are as follows as of December 31, 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | % |
| Debt securities<sup>(1)</sup> | 60-70 |
| Equity securities<sup>(1)</sup> | 10-20 |
| Real estate funds and other | 15-25 |

---

(1)For purposes of target allocation percentages and consistent with the plans' investment policy, investment funds have been allocated based on the underlying investments in debt and equity securities.

<u>Defined Contribution Plans</u>

The Company sponsors various defined contribution plans covering substantially all employees. The Company's contributions vary depending on the plan, but matching contributions are based on each participant's level of contribution, and certain participants receive contributions based on eligible pre-tax annual compensation. Contributions cannot exceed the maximum allowable for tax purposes. The Company's contributions to these plans were $202 million, $196 million and $177 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

**(14)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Asset Retirement Obligations** 

The Company estimates its ARO liabilities based upon detailed engineering calculations of the amount and timing of the future cash spending for a third party to perform the required work. Spending estimates are escalated for inflation and then discounted at a credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. Changes in estimates could occur for a number of reasons, including changes in laws and regulations, plan revisions, inflation and changes in the amount and timing of the expected work.

The Company does not recognize liabilities for AROs for which the fair value cannot be reasonably estimated. Due to the indeterminate removal date, the fair value of the associated liabilities on certain generation, transmission, distribution and other assets cannot currently be estimated, and no amounts are recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements other than those included in the cost of removal regulatory liability established via approved depreciation rates in accordance with accepted regulatory practices. These accruals totaled $3.1 billion and $2.9 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The following table presents the Company's ARO liabilities by asset type as of December 31 (in millions):

---

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulates the decommissioning of the Quad Cities Station, which includes the planning and funding for the decommissioning. In accordance with these regulations, MidAmerican Energy submits a biennial report to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission providing reasonable assurance that funds will be available to pay for its share of the Quad Cities Station decommissioning.

Certain of the Company's decommissioning and reclamation obligations relate to jointly owned facilities and mine sites, and as such, each subsidiary is committed to pay a proportionate share of the decommissioning or reclamation costs. In the event of a default by any of the other joint participants, the respective subsidiary may be obligated to absorb, directly or by paying additional sums to the entity, a proportionate share of the defaulting party's liability. The Company's estimated share of the decommissioning and reclamation obligations are primarily recorded as ARO liabilities.

In May 2024, the United States Environmental Protection Agency published its final rule on legacy coal combustion residuals ("CCR") surface impoundments and CCR management units ("CCRMUs") in the Federal Register. CCRMUs include CCR surface impoundments and landfills closed before October 19, 2015 and inactive CCR landfills. The final rule contains three main components: (1) a definition for legacy CCR surface impoundments, which are inactive surface impoundments at inactive generating facilities that must adhere to the same regulations as inactive CCR impoundments at active generating facilities, barring location restrictions and liner design criteria, with customized compliance deadlines; (2) groundwater monitoring, corrective action, closure, and post closure care requirements for CCRMUs, which may be located at active generating facilities and inactive generating facilities with a legacy CCR surface impoundment; and (3) the owners and operators of inactive generating facilities must identify the presence of legacy CCR surface impoundments and comply with all rule requirements for surface impoundments; and the owners and operators of active generating facilities and inactive generating facilities with a legacy CCR surface impoundment must prepare Facility Evaluation Reports ("FERs") that identify and describe the CCRMUs and determine whether closure is required. In February 2026, the EPA extended certain compliance deadlines with CCRMUs. Accordingly, and in a manner consistent with existing CCR rules, owners and operators must publish FERs on their CCR websites in two parts, within 12 months (Part 1) and 24 months (Part 2) of the final rule's effective date in February 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the final rule and does not anticipate identifying any legacy surface impoundments, but does anticipate identifying CCRMUs subject to the rule. Due to the number of site investigations warranted by this rule and the nature of engineering and other studies required at each site, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the potential impact, which may be material, to its asset retirement obligations.

**(15)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

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 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 for the years ended December 31 (in millions). Transfers out of Level 3 occur primarily due to increased price observability.

The Company's long-term debt is carried at cost, including fair value adjustments and unamortized premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs as applicable, on the Consolidated Financial Statements. 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 as of December 31 (in millions):

*Fuel, Capacity and Transmission Contract Commitments*

The Utilities have fuel supply and related transportation and lime contracts for their coal- and natural gas-fueled generating facilities. The Utilities expect to supplement these contracts with additional contracts and spot market purchases to fulfill their future fossil fuel needs. The Utilities acquire a portion of their electricity through long-term purchases and exchange agreements. The Utilities have several power purchase agreements with renewable generating facilities that are not included in the table above as the payments are based on the amount of energy generated and there are no minimum payments. The Utilities also have contracts for the right to transmit electricity over other entities' transmission lines to facilitate delivery to their customers.

MidAmerican Energy has long-term rail transportation contracts with BNSF Railway Company ("BNSF"), an affiliate company, and Union Pacific Railroad Company for the transportation of coal to all of the MidAmerican Energy-operated coal-fueled generating facilities. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, $98 million, $80 million and $109 million, respectively, were incurred for coal transportation services, the majority of which was related to the BNSF and Union Pacific Railway Company agreements.

*Construction Commitments*

The Company's firm construction commitments reflected in the table above include the following major construction projects:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PacifiCorp's costs associated with certain generating plant, transmission, distribution and operations projects.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• MidAmerican Energy's firm construction commitments primarily consisting of contracts for the repowering of wind-powered generating facilities and construction of new natural gas-powered and solar-powered generating facilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Nevada Utilities' firm construction commitments consisting of costs associated with 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, the Greenlink Nevada transmission expansion program that is being developed in western and northern Nevada, the repower project at the Valmy generating station to convert existing coal-fired combustion to natural gas-fire combustion, a hydrogen-capable natural gas simple cycle combustion turbine peakers project at the Valmy generating station and certain other generation plant projects.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• AltaLink's investments in directly assigned transmission projects from the Alberta Electric System Operator.

*Easements*

The Company has non-cancelable easements for land on which certain of its assets, primarily wind- and solar-powered generating facilities, are located.

*Maintenance, Service and Other Contracts*

The Company has entered into service agreements related to its nonregulated wind-powered and solar-powered projects with third parties to operate and maintain the projects under fixed-fee operating and maintenance agreements. Additionally, the Company has various non-cancelable maintenance, service and other contracts primarily related to turbine and equipment maintenance and various other service agreements.

*Hydroelectric Commitments*

Certain of PacifiCorp's hydroelectric licenses and settlement agreements contain requirements for PacifiCorp to make certain capital and operating expenditures related to its hydroelectric facilities, which are estimated to be approximately $278 million over the next 10 years.

*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 and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact its 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 also 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. On February 20, 2026, the United States Attorney for the District of Oregon and the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of California approved a settlement agreement for $575 million between PacifiCorp and the United States of America resolving all known federal government complaints and demands associated with the Wildfires, including those associated with the 242, Archie Creek, Echo Mountain Complex, McKinney, Slater and South Obenchain fires. In accordance with the settlement agreement, PacifiCorp will pay the $575 million within 10 calendar days of the February 20, 2026, effective date. PacifiCorp is actively cooperating with the Oregon Department of Justice on resolving the alleged claims.

Amounts sought in outstanding complaints and demands filed in Oregon and in certain demands made in California totaled approximately $50 billion, excluding any doubling or trebling of damages or punitive damages included in the complaints, and of which approximately $48 billion represents the economic and noneconomic damages sought in the *James* mass complaints described below, as amended. 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. Generally, the complaints filed in California do not specify damages sought and are excluded from this amount. 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. However, plaintiffs included in the *James* mass complaints are required to amend their complaints to align the economic damages to the facts specific to their complaints rather than the common per plaintiff damages specified in the originally filed mass complaints. Refer to "*James* Trial Activity" below for information regarding damages awarded to date in the *James* case.

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, losses have been and will likely continue to be incurred associated with the Wildfires. Final determinations of liability will only be made following the completion of comprehensive investigations, which may be or have been performed by various entities, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service ("USFS"), the California Public Utilities Commission, the Oregon Department of Forestry ("ODF") and the Oregon Department of Justice, as well as litigation or similar processes, the outcome of which, if adverse, could, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on PacifiCorp's financial condition.

------

*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 USFS report for the Archie Creek fire 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 USFS report for the Slater fire also 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. Additionally, PacifiCorp has settled all wrongful death claims and all federal government demands and complaints associated with the 2020 Wildfires.

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 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. 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 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. Since filing of the original class action complaint, numerous James class members have been named and damages specified in various complaints as described below. Additionally, numerous cases were consolidated into the original *James* complaint.

As of December 2025, various mass complaints against PacifiCorp naming 1,760 class members have been filed referencing the *James* case as the lead case with complaints for some of the plaintiffs subsequently dismissed. These *James* mass complaints make damages-only allegations with substantially all plaintiffs individually seeking $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, as well as doubling of economic damages. As described below under "*James* Court Activity," plaintiffs included in the mass complaints are required to amend their complaints to align the economic damages to the facts specific to their complaints.

------

An additional approximately 1,500 plaintiffs were granted the ability not to be represented by *James* lead counsel, a small portion of which filed complaints seeking damages similar to those in the mass complaints. In November 2025, PacifiCorp settled with approximately 1,400 of these plaintiffs for $150 million.

As a result of dismissals for the mass complaints and the November 2025 settlement, James complaints for approximately 1,700 individual plaintiffs remain outstanding, substantially all of which are represented by lead counsel. PacifiCorp believes the magnitude of damages sought by the class members in the *James* mass complaints to be of remote likelihood of being awarded based on the amounts awarded in the jury verdicts described below under "*James* Trial Activity" that are being appealed.

*<u>James</u>* <u>Trial Activity</u>

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. The jury awarded economic and noneconomic damages. After the jury verdict, the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon doubled the economic damages, in accordance with Oregon law, and added punitive damages by applying a 0.25 multiplier to the awarded economic and noneconomic damages. 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. In January 2024, PacifiCorp filed a notice of appeal associated with the June 2023 verdict, including whether the case can proceed as a class action.

Subsequent to the June 2023 *James* verdict, numerous damages phase trials were held with separate jury verdicts issued and damages awarded for each on a basis consistent with the initial trial and relying on the liability determination in the June 2023 *James* verdict. PacifiCorp amended its January 2024 appeal of the June 2023 *James* verdict to include the jury verdicts for the first two damages phase trials. PacifiCorp has filed notices of appeal for the subsequent jury verdicts in the damages phase trials once limited judgments are entered and any post-trial motions filed. Refer to "*James* Court Activity" below regarding the filing of PacifiCorp's appellate briefs. The appeals process and further actions could take several years.

(1)For jury verdicts where the limited judgment has not yet been entered, the doubling of economic damages and the application of punitive damages are estimates.

(2)For jury verdicts where limited judgment has been entered, the court offset the awards by the amount of insurance proceeds received by any of the plaintiffs. For jury verdicts where the limited judgment has not yet been entered, the insurance offset is an estimate.

(3)For each limited judgment entered in the court, PacifiCorp has posted or expects to post 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. The supersedeas bond posted for the June 2023 *James* verdict covers three years of post-judgment interest while amounts posted for the subsequent verdicts cover two years of post-judgment interest.

Through February 2026, jury verdict awards averaged approximately $7 million per plaintiff, including insurance offset. Additional damages phase trials are scheduled to occur through 2028 as described below.

------

*<u>James</u>* <u>Court Activity</u>

In April 2025, PacifiCorp filed its appellate brief with the Oregon Court of Appeals in connection with its appeal of the June 2023 *James* verdict and the January and March 2024 *James* damages phase trial verdicts. In the appellate 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 appellate brief. Various parties who are not party to the *James* case filed supportive amicus briefs with the court. Plaintiffs filed their combined answering and cross-appeal brief on August 21, 2025, after plaintiffs requested three delays from the Oregon Court of Appeals. PacifiCorp has filed additional appellate briefs and will continue to file individual appellate briefs in connection with appeals of each of the verdicts for additional *James* damages phase trials.

In November 2025, the Oregon Court of Appeals issued an order for expedited oral argument in response to PacifiCorp's October 2025 request to facilitate a more prompt decision from the court. As a result of the order, oral argument for the appeal was held on February 4, 2026.

Subsequent to the first two damages phase trials, nine damages phase trials were scheduled to be held in 2025 in accordance with the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon's October 2024 case management order, adjudicating the damages of approximately 10 plaintiffs per trial. In March 2025, PacifiCorp filed a motion to stay the additional damages phase trials scheduled under the October 2024 case management order in consideration of the ODF's Report, but the motion was denied in April 2025. Refer to "*James* Trial Activity" above for information regarding the damages phase trials held in 2025.

In July 2025, the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon issued Case Management Order No. 11 ("CMO No. 11") in response to the May 2025 hearing that was held to evaluate the scheduling of additional damages phase trials. As ordered, CMO No. 11 proposes to schedule dozens of trials in 2026 and over 100 more in 2027 and 2028. Currently, approximately 1,500 plaintiffs are scheduled for trial under CMO No. 11, including substantially all of those included in the mass complaints described above and reflecting the impacts of settlements and dismissals. CMO No. 11 requires plaintiffs included in the mass complaints to amend their complaints alleging the specific facts that support their claims for economic damages within 180 days before the start of their respective trials. Additionally, CMO No. 11 requires mediation every other month.

In August 2025, PacifiCorp filed a motion with the Oregon Court of Appeals to stay the *James* damages phase trials addressed in CMO No. 11. In September 2025, the Appellate Commissioner of the Oregon Court of Appeals denied PacifiCorp's motion to stay, to which PacifiCorp filed a request for reconsideration of the stay denial with the Chief Judge of the Oregon Court of Appeals. In October 2025, the Oregon Court of Appeals issued an order denying PacifiCorp's request for reconsideration. In November 2025, PacifiCorp petitioned the Oregon Supreme Court to review the Oregon Court of Appeals' decisions. In December 2025, plaintiffs' counsel filed their opposition to the petition, and a decision is expected in 2026.

<u>Potential Effects of</u> *<u>James</u>* <u>CMO No. 11</u>

To stay payment of damages awarded by the limited judgments while on appeal, PacifiCorp is required to bond the judgments. As of the date of this filing, PacifiCorp has posted bonds totaling $606 million associated with the limited judgments entered to date for 109 plaintiffs. These bonding requirements will continue to apply to future judgments associated with the CMO No. 11 trials. As noted above, CMO No. 11 proposes to schedule dozens of trials in 2026 and over 100 more in 2027 and 2028, with trials currently scheduled for approximately 1,500 plaintiffs. Each trial is subject to and dependent on judicial resources and availability, which will be determined six weeks before each trial. The CMO No. 11 proposed schedule is likely to put significant strain on the Multnomah County Circuit Court system, and PacifiCorp believes this may challenge the court's ability to fulfill the schedule in CMO No. 11.

PacifiCorp's liquidity has been materially impacted and its credit ratings have been downgraded as a result of the litigation risk and estimated losses recorded to date associated with the Wildfires. Due to the volume of *James* damages phase trials scheduled under CMO No. 11 combined with the requirement to bond judgments for each verdict to stay payment of damages during the appeals process, PacifiCorp may be unable to obtain the necessary funding to meet its liquidity needs.

------

While bonding of judgments awarded in *James* verdicts to date have been supported by surety bonds, they can also be supported by posting letters of credit or cash. If the trial schedule and caseload progress as proposed in CMO No. 11 and the future limited judgments follow current trends, damages awarded in additional *James* jury verdicts could exceed PacifiCorp's available surety bond and letter of credit capacity, requiring cash bonding thereafter. PacifiCorp expects additional debt financings, including potential borrowings under its $2.0 billion credit facility to the extent available, or other sources of funding will be needed to provide liquidity to post cash for judgments. These bonding requirements could weaken PacifiCorp's credit metrics. Any further credit rating downgrade may result in the loss of surety bond and letter of credit capacity, trigger cash collateral calls for surety bonds posted and trigger cash collateral calls or other forms of security for wholesale energy agreements that contain credit risk-related contingent features or rights to demand adequate assurance in the event of a material adverse change in PacifiCorp's creditworthiness. Additionally, a downgrade of PacifiCorp's senior secured debt below investment grade would require new regulatory applications and approvals due to certain authorizations or exemptions currently in place with certain regulatory commissions for the issuance of securities. PacifiCorp may also be subject to borrowing limitations under its long-term debt covenants.

In the event of a downgrade below investment grade, PacifiCorp may be unable to secure sufficient debt financings or alternative funding sources to support ongoing operations, including the ability to absorb wholesale power volatility, pay suppliers and meet debt obligations, and such liquidity issues may impact transmission and generation development, purchasing power in the market, building and upgrading substations, connecting new customers, addressing outages and maintaining system resilience. Investors in PacifiCorp's first mortgage bonds may be unable to hold existing bonds or to invest in new bonds, and perceived risks associated with the Wildfires may limit PacifiCorp's ability to attract investors. At a minimum, the cost of any short- or long-term financing is expected to be higher as a result of the wildfire litigation risks and decline in PacifiCorp's credit ratings.

Litigation is inherently difficult to predict, and its potential financial impacts are therefore based on assumptions that will change. Furthermore, there may be judicial decisions and other events or circumstances that could improve or worsen the challenges PacifiCorp faces. PacifiCorp believes it will have sufficient liquidity to cover its operations and obligations beyond a year.

*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. Settlements have been reached with substantially all individual plaintiffs, timber companies and insurance subrogation plaintiffs in the 2022 McKinney Fire. Additionally, PacifiCorp has settled all wrongful death claims associated with the 2022 McKinney Fire and has settled with the federal government as described above.

*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) cause and origin investigations; (ii) ongoing settlement and mediation activities; (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 $2,853 million through December 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 December 31, 2025, PacifiCorp paid $1,692 million in settlements associated with the Wildfires, $53 million of which occurred in 2022. As a result of the settlements, various trials have been cancelled. In January and February 2026, 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 for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| **Beginning balance** | $1536 | $1723 | $424 |
| Accrued losses | 100 | 346 | 1930 |
| Payments | (475) | (533) | (631) |
| **Ending balance** | $1161 | $1536 | $1723 |

As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, $734 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 December 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 December 31, 2025, and 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 for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

As of December 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.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, PacifiCorp recognized probable losses net of expected insurance recoveries associated with the Wildfires of $100 million, $346 million and $1,677 million, respectively.

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, 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 and settlements were reached by Keller Williams, NAR and HomeServices subsequent to the trial. All settlements received court approval, had final judgments entered by the court and were appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. All appeals were fully briefed by December 19, 2025, and oral arguments took place on January 14, 2026. A ruling from the court on the appeals is pending.

The final HomeServices settlement agreement with the plaintiffs reached on April 25, 2024, 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 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024, was $158 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.

**(18)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**BHE Shareholders' Equity** 

*Preferred Stock*

As of December 31, 2024, BHE had 481,000 shares outstanding of its Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "4% Perpetual Preferred Stock"), which were issued to a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway. The 4% Perpetual Preferred Stock had a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and paid a 4.00% dividend per share on the liquidation preference. Dividends accrued and accumulated daily, were cumulative, compounded semi-annually and, if declared, were payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. If dividends were not declared and paid, any accumulating dividends would continue to accumulate and compound. BHE would not make any dividends on shares of any other class or series of its capital stock (other than for dividends on shares of common stock payable in shares of common stock, unless the holders of the then outstanding 4% Perpetual Preferred Stock should first receive, or simultaneously have received, a dividend in an amount at least equivalent to the amount accumulated and not previously paid. BHE would not declare or pay any dividends on shares of the 4% Perpetual Preferred Stock if such declaration or payment would constitute an event of default on BHE's senior indebtedness (as defined)). BHE may, at its option, redeem the 4% Perpetual Preferred Stock in whole or in part at any time at a price per share equal to the liquidation preference. In February 2025, BHE redeemed the 481,000 outstanding shares of 4% Perpetual Preferred Stock for $481 million.

*Common Stock*

In September 2024, BHE repurchased 4,424,494 shares of its voting common stock held by certain family members and related or affiliated entities of the late Mr. Walter Scott, Jr., a former member of BHE's Board of Directors (each, a "Minority Shareholder") and acquired, cancelled and extinguished the Junior Subordinated Debenture due 2057, having an aggregate principal amount of $100 million, issued by BHE to a certain Minority Shareholder on June 19, 2017 (the "Debenture") (collectively, the "Transactions"). Consideration for the Transactions consisted of (i) cash in an aggregate amount of $2.4 billion and (ii) a Promissory Note, due and payable on September 30, 2025, having an aggregate principal amount of $600 million, which was fully repaid plus accrued interest in October 2024.

*BHE B Merger*

In December 2024, BHE entered into an agreement and plan of merger ("Merger Agreement") with BHE B, a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway. BHE B (the "Disappearing Company") merged with and into BHE with BHE surviving (the "Merger"). The Merger was accounted for at book value as BHE and BHE B are entities under common control. BHE B owned eight investments in wind-powered generating facilities sponsored by third parties, commonly referred to as tax equity investments, and had net assets as of December 31, 2024, of approximately $1 billion.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, which took place at 10:59 p.m., Central Time, on December 31, 2024, (a) the separate existence of the Disappearing Company ceased and each share of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value, of the Disappearing Company was cancelled and (b) all shares of the issued and outstanding Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value, of the Disappearing Company, which were held by the BHE B Sole Preferred Stockholder, were converted into and became exchangeable in the aggregate for (i) 481,000 shares of the 4% Perpetual Preferred Stock, (ii) an amount in cash of $57 million and (ii) the transfer of a U.S. Treasury Bill of $364 million.

*Restricted Net Assets*

BHE has maximum debt-to-total capitalization percentage restrictions imposed by its senior unsecured credit facilities expiring in June 2028 which, in certain circumstances, limit BHE's ability to make cash dividends or distributions. As a result of this restriction, BHE has restricted net assets of $24.5 billion as of December 31, 2025.

Certain of BHE's subsidiaries have restrictions on their ability to dividend, loan or advance funds to BHE due to specific legal or regulatory restrictions, including, but not limited to, maximum debt-to-total capitalization percentages and commitments made to state commissions. As a result of these restrictions, BHE's subsidiaries had restricted net assets of $27.1 billion as of December 31, 2025.

Reclassifications from AOCI to net income for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were insignificant. Additionally, refer to the "Foreign Operations" discussion in Note 13 for information about unrecognized amounts on retirement benefits reclassifications from AOCI that do not impact net income in their entirety.

**(20)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Variable Interest Entities and Noncontrolling Interests** 

The primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the VIE and to disclose certain information about its significant variable interests in the VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the entity that has both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

As of December 31, 2025, BHE holds 75% of the limited partner interest and holds 100% of the general partner interest of Cove Point. BHE concluded that Cove Point is a VIE due to the limited partner lacking the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. BHE is the primary beneficiary of Cove Point as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to it.

Included in noncontrolling interests on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are (i) Brookfield Super-Core Infrastructure Partner's 25% interest in Cove Point and (ii) preferred securities of subsidiaries of $56 million and $58 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, consisting primarily of $56 million of 8.061% cumulative preferred securities of Northern Electric plc, a subsidiary of Northern Powergrid, which are redeemable in the event of the revocation of Northern Electric plc's electricity distribution license by the Secretary of State.

**(23)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Subsequent Events**

On February 15, 2026, PacifiCorp and Portland General Electric Company and an affiliate of Portland General Electric Company (together, the "PGE Entities") entered into an Asset Purchase and Service Area Transfer Agreement (the "Sale Agreement") to sell to the PGE Entities certain PacifiCorp assets and liabilities associated with PacifiCorp's Washington operations for a sales price of $1.9 billion in cash plus additional cash consideration for the value of specified assets delivered at closing, subject to customary purchase price adjustments (the "Transaction").

The Transaction assets and liabilities are associated with PacifiCorp's retail service area in Washington and include certain related distribution assets and infrastructure, as well as PacifiCorp's Chehalis combined cycle natural gas-fueled generating facility located in Chehalis, Washington, Goodnoe Hills wind-powered generating facility located in Goldendale, Washington, and Marengo wind-powered generating facility located in Dayton, Washington.

The Transaction has been approved by PacifiCorp's board of directors but is subject to customary closing conditions including (i) the expiration or termination of the waiting period and other required approvals under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and (ii) the receipt of all necessary approvals, waivers and rulings from the FERC and each of PacifiCorp's six state public utility commissions. The Transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027.

------

The Sale Agreement contains certain termination rights, including if the Transaction is not consummated by August 15, 2027, (subject to a six month extension to the extent certain regulatory approvals have not been received as of such date), and provides that upon termination of the Sale Agreement under certain specified circumstances, the terminating party would be required to pay the other party a termination fee of $35 million.

As a result of the Transaction, PacifiCorp expects that the associated assets and liabilities will be presented as assets held for sale in its first quarter 2026 Form 10-Q. As the Transaction is not expected to have major impact on PacifiCorp's operations or financial results particularly due to the scale of PacifiCorp's Washington operations and retail service territory relative to its overall operations and retail service territory, PacifiCorp does not expect to present the effects of the Transaction as a discontinued operation.

PacifiCorp believes the carrying value of the assets and liabilities are less than fair value and therefore does not expect to record a loss as a result of the Transaction. PacifiCorp expects to continue to depreciate the property, plant and equipment included in the Transaction as it will continue to operate and serve PacifiCorp's customers through closing of the Transaction and the costs to operate such property, plant and equipment will continue to be recovered in PacifiCorp's retail rates. Certain regulatory asset, regulatory liability, asset retirement obligation and deferred income tax balances will also be impacted by the Transaction.

**Item 7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. PacifiCorp's actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.

**Results of Operations**

<u>Overview</u>

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $640 million, an increase of $101 million, compared to 2024 net income of $539 million primarily due to higher utility margin and lower estimated losses associated with the Wildfires of $246 million, partially offset by higher operations and maintenance expense, higher depreciation expense, higher net interest expense, lower allowances for equity and borrowed funds used during construction, lower income tax benefit and higher property and other taxes. Utility margin increased primarily due to higher average retail customer prices and volumes, lower purchased electricity costs and higher wholesale sales, partially offset by lower net power cost deferrals and higher thermal generation costs. Retail customer volumes increased 1.3% primarily due to an increase in the average number of customers and an increase in customer usage, partially offset by unfavorable impacts of weather. Energy generated increased 4,587 gigawatt-hours, or 10%, primarily due to higher coal-fueled and wind-powered generation, partially offset by lower natural gas-fueled and hydroelectric-powered generation. Wholesale electricity sales volumes increased 2,074 gigawatt-hours, or 91% and purchased electricity volumes decreased 1,768 gigawatt-hours, or 9%.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $539 million, an increase of $1,007 million, compared to 2023 net loss of $468 million, primarily due to lower estimated losses of $1,331 million associated with the Wildfires, net of expected insurance recoveries, higher utility margin and higher allowances for equity and borrowed funds used during construction. These items were partially offset by lower income tax benefit, increased operations and maintenance expense, higher net interest expense, and higher depreciation and amortization expense. Utility margin increased primarily due to higher retail prices and volumes, lower coal-fueled generation volumes, lower purchased electricity prices, lower natural gas-fueled generation prices, and higher net wheeling revenue, partially offset by lower net power cost deferrals, driven by higher amortization of prior deferrals and lower current year deferrals, higher purchased electricity volumes, higher coal-fueled generation prices, higher natural-gas generation volumes and lower wholesale revenue from lower volumes and prices. Retail customer volumes increased 3.1% primarily due to an increase in commercial, industrial and irrigation customer usage and an increase in the average number of customers, partially offset by a decrease in the residential customer usage and unfavorable impacts of weather. Energy generated decreased 807 gigawatt-hours, or 2%, primarily due to lower coal-fueled and hydroelectric-powered generation, partially offset by higher natural gas-fueled and wind-powered generation. Wholesale electricity sales volumes decreased 631 gigawatt-hours, or 22%, and purchased electricity volumes increased 2,192 gigawatt-hours, or 12%.

<u>Non-GAAP Financial Measure</u>

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 directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation of utility margin to operating income for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

<u>Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2024</u>

*Utility margin* increased $455 million, or 12%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $793 million of higher retail revenue primarily due to higher average prices and higher volumes. Retail customer volumes increased 1.3%, primarily due to higher Utah and Oregon commercial customer usage, mainly due to increase in data centers usage, an increase in the average number of commercial and residential customers across the service territory, mainly in Utah and Oregon, and an increase in irrigation customer usage across the service territory, except in California and Washington, partially offset by a decrease in Wyoming, Utah and Washington industrial customer usage, unfavorable weather related impacts on residential and commercial customers primarily in Utah and a decrease in residential customer usage across the service territory, except in Idaho.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $447 million of lower purchased electricity costs from lower average market prices and lower volumes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $75 million of higher wholesale revenue primarily due to higher volumes, partially offset by lower average prices; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $43 million of lower natural gas-fueled generation costs primarily due to lower volumes, partially offset by higher average prices.

The increases above were partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $734 million of lower net power cost deferrals in accordance with established adjustment mechanisms driven by higher amortization of prior deferrals and lower current year deferrals; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $184 million of higher coal-fueled generation costs primarily due to higher volumes and prices.

*Operations and maintenance* increased $180 million, or 11%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $89 million of higher insurance expense due to increased liability insurance premiums and lower deferrals compounded by amortization of prior deferrals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $55 million of higher demand side management amortization driven by increased spend;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $49 million of higher general plant and maintenance costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $34 million increase in salary and benefit expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $29 million of higher legal fees; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $15 million of plant disallowance loss of Utah's share of certain assets on the Klamath River hydroelectric system as a result of the 2025 Utah general rate case order.

The increases above were partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $50 million of lower vegetation management and wildfire mitigation costs primarily from lower gross costs and lower amortization of prior deferrals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $14 million due to higher accruals of federal grant reimbursements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $11 million decrease associated with prior year costs associated with the Lower Klamath Project;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $10 million decrease associated with prior year plant disallowances due to the 2024 Oregon rate case order partial disallowance of certain wildfire mitigation transmission plant investments; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $4 million of lower injuries and damages expenses, excluding the Wildfires.

*Wildfires losses, net of recoveries* decreased $246 million, or 71%, for 2025 compared to 2024 due to a decrease in loss accruals associated with the Wildfires.

*Depreciation and amortization* increased $137 million, or 12%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher average in-service plant and accelerated depreciation totaling $87 million to buydown a portion of Utah's share of certain coal-fueled units and depreciation related regulatory assets pursuant to the second quarter 2025 Utah general rate case order, partially offset by a $12 million decrease due to a change in the annual Oregon and Washington allocation adjustment compounded by the prior year increase in the allocation adjustment of $5 million, current year extension of depreciable lives for certain plants as a result of the 2025 Oregon general rate case order of $30 million and lower depreciation expense resulting from the impacts of the second quarter 2025 Utah buydown.

------

*Property and other taxes* increased $21 million, or 10%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher property taxes in Utah, Colorado and Washington, higher franchise taxes primarily in Oregon, higher Washington public utility taxes and higher federal excise tax expense.

*Interest expense* increased $37 million*,* or 5%*,* for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to the issuance of $850 million of junior subordinated notes in March 2025 and higher levels of commercial paper.

*Allowance for borrowed and equity funds* decreased $112 million, or 35%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to lower qualified construction work-in-progress balances and lower rates.

*Interest and dividend income* decreased $78 million, or 41%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to lower current year cash equivalents, lower interest rates and lower interest income on regulatory assets.

*Income tax benefit* decreased $40 million, or 17%, for 2025 compared to 2024. The effective tax rate was (44)% and (78)% for 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $40 million decrease was primarily due to lower loss accruals associated with the Wildfires and lower benefit from the effects of ratemaking, partially offset by higher PTCs from PacifiCorp's wind-powered generating facilities.

<u>Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2023</u>

*Utility margin* increased $158 million, or 4%, for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $716 million of higher retail revenue primarily due to higher average prices and higher volumes. Retail customer volumes increased 3.1%, primarily due to a higher Utah, Oregon and Washington commercial customer usage and Utah residential customer usage, higher industrial customer usage in Washington, Wyoming and Idaho, higher irrigation customer usage across the service territory, mainly in Idaho, and increase in the average number of residential and commercial customers. These increases were partially offset by lower residential customer usage across the western service territory, mainly in Oregon and unfavorable weather impacts across the service territory;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $39 million of lower coal-fueled generation costs due to lower volumes, partially offset by higher prices; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $14 million of higher net wheeling revenue.

The increases above were partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $440 million of lower net power cost deferrals in accordance with established adjustment mechanisms driven by higher amortization of prior deferrals and lower current year deferrals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $81 million of higher purchased electricity costs from higher volumes, partially offset by lower average market prices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $68 million of lower wholesale revenue primarily due to lower volumes and lower average prices; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $16 million of higher natural gas-fueled generation costs primarily due to higher volumes, partially offset by lower average prices.

*Operations and maintenance* increased $134 million, or 9%, for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $38 million of higher vegetation management and other wildfire mitigation costs, primarily due to higher amortization of amounts previously deferred in Oregon and higher costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $32 million of higher liability insurance costs net of current year deferral of $45 million for a portion of Oregon's and Idaho's shares of higher insurance premiums;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $23 million of higher DSM amortization expense;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $21 million increase in salary and benefit expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $15 million increase due to prior year establishment of a regulatory asset associated with the December 2023 California general rate case outcome compounded by amortization in the current year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $11 million increase due to costs associated with the Lower Klamath Project;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $10 million of plant disallowances substantially due to Oregon rate case order partial disallowance of wildfire mitigation transmission plant investments; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $4 million of higher legal fees.

------

The increases above were partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $11 million decrease in general and plant maintenance costs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $9 million decrease in bad debt expense.

*Wildfires losses, net of recoveries* decreased $1,331 million, or 79%, for 2024 compared to 2023 due to lower accruals for estimated losses associated with the Wildfires, net of expected insurance recoveries in 2024 compared to 2023.

*Depreciation and amortization* increased $26 million, or 2%, for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to higher plant in-service balances in the current year, partially offset by cessation of Washington incremental depreciation of certain coal plants.

*Interest expense* increased $210 million*,* or 38%*,* for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to higher average long-term debt balances due to the issuance of $3.8 billion of first mortgage bonds in January 2024.

*Allowance for borrowed and equity funds* increased $109 million, or 51%, for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to higher qualified construction work-in-progress balances, partially offset by lower rates.

*Interest and dividend income* increased $93 million, or 95%, for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to higher investment income of $45 million from higher cash equivalents and higher regulatory asset interest income of $45 million primarily from higher deferred net power cost balances.

*Income tax benefit* decreased $317 million, or 57%, for 2024 compared to 2023. The effective tax rate was (78)% and 54% for 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $317 million decrease was primarily due to higher prior year loss accruals, net of expected insurance recoveries, associated with the Wildfires and lower current year benefit from the effects of ratemaking, partially offset by higher recognized PTCs from PacifiCorp's wind-powered generating facilities.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

<u>Overview</u>

PacifiCorp's liquidity has been materially impacted and its credit ratings have been downgraded as a result of the litigation risk and estimated losses recorded to date associated with the Wildfires. Due to the volume of *James* damages phase trials scheduled under CMO No. 11 combined with the requirement to bond judgments for each verdict in order to stay payment of damages during the appeals process, PacifiCorp may be unable to obtain the necessary funding to meet its liquidity needs.

While bonding of judgments awarded in *James* verdicts to date have been supported by surety bonds, they can also be supported by posting letters of credit or cash. If the trial schedule and caseload progress as proposed in CMO No. 11 and the future limited judgments follow current trends, PacifiCorp damages awarded in additional *James* jury verdicts could exceed its available surety bond and letter of credit capacity, requiring cash bonding thereafter. PacifiCorp expects additional debt financings, including potential borrowings under its $2.0 billion credit facility to the extent available, or other sources of funding will be needed to provide liquidity to post cash for judgments. These bonding requirements could weaken PacifiCorp's credit metrics. Any further credit rating downgrade may result in the loss of surety bond and letter of credit capacity, trigger cash collateral calls for surety bonds posted and trigger cash collateral calls or other forms of security for wholesale energy agreements that contain credit risk-related contingent features or rights to demand adequate assurance in the event of a material adverse change in PacifiCorp's creditworthiness. Additionally, a downgrade of PacifiCorp's senior secured debt below investment grade would require new regulatory applications and approvals due to certain authorizations or exemptions currently in place with certain regulatory commissions for the issuance of securities. PacifiCorp may also be subject to borrowing limitations under its long-term debt covenants.

In the event of a downgrade below investment grade, PacifiCorp may be unable to secure sufficient debt financings or alternative funding sources to support ongoing operations, including the ability to absorb wholesale power volatility, pay suppliers and meet debt obligations, and such liquidity issues may impact transmission and generation development, purchasing power in the market, building and upgrading substations, connecting new customers, addressing outages and maintaining system resilience. Investors in PacifiCorp's first mortgage bonds may be unable to hold existing bonds or to invest in new bonds, and perceived risks associated with the Wildfires may limit PacifiCorp's ability to attract investors. At a minimum, the cost of any short- or long-term financing is expected to be higher as a result of the wildfire litigation risks and decline in PacifiCorp's credit ratings.

------

Litigation is inherently difficult to predict, and its potential financial impacts are therefore based on assumptions that will change. Furthermore, there may be judicial decisions and other events or circumstances that could improve or worsen the challenges PacifiCorp faces.

As of December 31, 2025, PacifiCorp's issuer credit ratings for senior unsecured debt from the recognized credit rating agencies were investment grade. Refer to additional information below under "Collateral and Contingent Features."

For more information about the risks that could materially affect PacifiCorp's financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows, or that could cause future results to differ from historical results, see Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Form 10-K, including those associated with the changes in PacifiCorp's credit ratings and the litigation risk associated with the Wildfires. Additionally, this report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. These statements reflect management's judgment and opinions that are based on current estimates, expectations, and projections about future events and assumptions regarding these events and management's knowledge of facts as of the date of this report. See "Forward-Looking Statements" above for a list of some of the factors that may cause actual results to differ materially.

<u>Net Liquidity</u> 

As of December 31, 2025, PacifiCorp's total net liquidity was as follows (in millions):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | $73 |
| Credit facilities | 2900 |
| Less: |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Short-term debt | (1000) |

---

Refer to Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K and "Credit Facilities and Letters of Credit" below for further discussion regarding PacifiCorp's credit facilities and letters of credit.

<u>Operating Activities</u>

Net cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $1.7 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher collections from retail customers and lower wholesale purchases, partially offset by lower insurance reimbursements related to wildfire liabilities and higher cash paid for income taxes and interest.

Net cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $1.2 billion and $700 million, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher collections from retail customers and insurance reimbursements related to wildfire liabilities, partially offset by higher operating expenses, higher wholesale purchases and lower wholesale sales, and higher fuel purchases.

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 selected and assumptions made for each payment date.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

Net cash flows from investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $(3.0) billion and $(3.1) billion, respectively. The decrease in net cash outflows from investing activities is mainly due to a decrease in capital expenditures of $107 million.

------

Net cash flows from investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $(3.1) billion and $(3.2) billion, respectively. The decrease in net cash outflows from investing activities is mainly due to a decrease in capital expenditures of $124 million.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

Net cash flows from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $1.3 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to lower proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, partially offset by higher net proceeds from short-term debt and lower repayments of senior debt.

Net cash flows from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $1.8 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to higher net repayments for short-term debt and senior debt, partially offset by higher proceeds from senior debt and lower dividends paid to PPW Holdings LLC.

Future debt issuances are subject to market conditions, may be impacted by the Wildfires, including CMO No. 11, as described above and are further limited by regulatory authorizations or commitments or by covenants and tests contained in other financing agreements, as described below.

*Mortgage*

PacifiCorp's Mortgage and Deed of Trust creates a lien on most of PacifiCorp's electric utility property, allowing the issuance of bonds based on a percentage of utility property additions, bond credits arising from retirement of previously outstanding bonds or deposits of cash. The amount of bonds that PacifiCorp may issue generally is also subject to a net earnings test. As of December 31, 2025, PacifiCorp estimated it would be able to issue up to $4.4 billion of new first mortgage bonds under the most restrictive issuance test under the Mortgage and Deed of Trust. PacifiCorp also has the ability to release property from the lien of the mortgage on the basis of property additions, bond credits or deposits of cash.

*Debt Authorizations, Restrictions and Debt Covenants*

Certain of the state regulatory orders that authorized BHE's acquisition of PacifiCorp limit PacifiCorp's capital structure indirectly by requiring the consolidated equity of PPW Holdings LLC to be no less than 44.00% of total consolidated PPW Holdings LLC capitalization, excluding short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt. As of December 31, 2025, consolidated PPW Holdings LLC equity exceeded the threshold.

PacifiCorp currently has regulatory authority from the OPUC and the IPUC to issue an additional $2.65 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.

PacifiCorp currently has regulatory authority from the OPUC, the WUTC, the IPUC and the FERC to issue $3.0 billion of short-term debt.

While PacifiCorp's current revolving credit facilities are unsecured, upon future renewal, PacifiCorp may be required to secure the facilities, which could further limit the amount of first mortgage bonds PacifiCorp can issue.

The credit facilities require that PacifiCorp's ratio of consolidated debt, including current maturities, to total capitalization not exceed 0.65 to 1.0 as of the last day of each quarter. As of December 31, 2025, PacifiCorp's debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.58 to 1.0.

As of December 31, 2025, PacifiCorp was in compliance with all financial covenants that affect access to capital.

*Short-term Debt*

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, PacifiCorp had $1.0 billion and $240 million of short-term debt outstanding at a weighted average rate of 5.23% and 4.65%, respectively. The outstanding short-term debt as of December 31, 2025, was subsequently repaid in February 2026. For further discussion, refer to Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

------

*Long-term 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 used the remaining net proceeds to fund capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes.

In February 2026, PacifiCorp issued $1.1 billion of its 7.125% Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due August 2056. PacifiCorp will pay interest on the junior subordinated notes at a rate of 7.125% through August 2031, subject to a reset every five years, not to reset below 7.125%. PacifiCorp used a portion of the net proceeds to repay outstanding short-term debt and will use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

In February 2026, PacifiCorp issued $400 million of 4.25% First Mortgage Bonds due March 2029. PacifiCorp used a portion of the net proceeds to repay outstanding short-term debt and will use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

PacifiCorp made repayments on long-term debt totaling $302 million and $591 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

*Credit Facilities and Letters of Credit*

In June 2025, PacifiCorp amended its existing $2.0 billion unsecured credit facility expiring in June 2027. The amendment extended the expiration date to June 2028 and amended certain provisions of the existing credit agreement. Also in June 2025, PacifiCorp amended its existing $900 million 364-day unsecured credit facility expiring in June 2025. The amendment extended the expiration date to June 2026 and amended certain provisions of the existing credit agreement.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, PacifiCorp had $255 million of letter of credit capacity under its $2.0 billion revolving credit facility of which no amounts were outstanding. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, PacifiCorp had $963 million and $488 million, respectively, of letter of credit capacity outside of its $2.0 billion revolving credit facility, of which $949 million and $454 million, respectively, was available.

As described above under "Overview" within "Liquidity and Capital Resources," any further credit rating downgrade may result in the loss of letter of credit capacity.

Refer to Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding amounts outstanding and the maximum debt-to-total capitalization percentage required under various financing agreements.

*Preferred Stock*

As of December 31, 2025, PacifiCorp had 350 shares of Serial Preferred Stock authorized at the stated value of $1,000,000 per share, and $16 million shares of Preferred Stock authorized. There are no shares of PacifiCorp Serial Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock issued or outstanding. As of December 31, 2024, PacifiCorp had non-redeemable preferred stock outstanding with an aggregate stated value of $2 million.

On December 17, 2024, PPW Holdings LLC, PacifiCorp's direct parent and sole holder of the common stock of PacifiCorp, commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of PacifiCorp's outstanding 6.00% and 7.00% Serial Preferred Stock (together the "Serial Preferred Stock"). After giving effect to the tender offer, which expired on January 24, 2025, PPW Holdings LLC held 2,494 shares of the 5,930 issued and outstanding shares of the 6.00% Serial Preferred Stock and 10,269 shares of the 18,046 issued and outstanding shares of the 7.00% Serial Preferred Stock.

On February 6, 2025, PacifiCorp filed a First Articles of Amendment to the Fourth Restated Articles of Incorporation of PacifiCorp authorizing a one-for-ten thousand reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") of the Serial Preferred Stock. The Reverse Stock Split became effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on February 10, 2025. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 10,000 shares of each of PacifiCorp's pre-reverse split Serial Preferred Stock were combined and reclassified into one share of Serial Preferred Stock, with a corresponding reduction in the number of authorized shares of Serial Preferred Stock from 3,500 thousand to 350 and change to stated value of $100 to $1,000,000 per share. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split and shareholders who would have otherwise held a fractional share of Serial Preferred Stock received payment in cash. As a result, all issued and outstanding shares of PacifiCorp's preferred stock as of February 10, 2025, were held by PPW Holdings LLC.

------

On April 23, 2025, PacifiCorp repurchased the sole outstanding share of its 7.00% Serial Preferred Stock from PPW Holdings LLC, for a purchase price of $1,800,000.

*Common Shareholder's Equity*

In 2025 and 2024, PacifiCorp did not declare or pay dividends to PPW Holdings LLC.

*Capitalization*

PacifiCorp manages its capital structure with the objective of maintaining liquidity and its investment grade credit ratings, which is expected to facilitate continued access to the debt markets and flexible borrowing arrangements at favorable costs and rates. This objective, subject to periodic review and revision, attempts to balance the interests of all shareholders, customers and creditors and provide a competitive cost of capital and predictable capital market access. Refer to "Overview" within "Liquidity and Capital Resources" above regarding the potential impacts of the Wildfires on PacifiCorp's liquidity and access to capital. To help mitigate PacifiCorp's liquidity pressures, BHE has indicated that it will suspend dividends for the next several years.

Under existing or prospective authoritative accounting guidance, such as guidance pertaining to consolidations and leases, it is possible that new purchase power, energy storage and gas agreements, transmission arrangements or amendments to existing arrangements may be accounted for as lease obligations on PacifiCorp's financial statements. While PacifiCorp has successfully amended covenants in financing arrangements that may be impacted, it may be more difficult for PacifiCorp to comply with its capitalization targets or regulatory commitments concerning minimum levels of common equity as a percentage of capitalization. This may lead PacifiCorp to seek amendments to its financing agreements and from regulators or take other actions.

<u>Future Uses of Cash</u>

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, conditions in the overall capital markets, including the condition of the utility industry. Refer also to the "Overview" above for potential impacts of the Wildfires and CMO No. 11.

*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 and the potential impacts of CMO No. 11; 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.

Historical and forecast capital expenditures, each of which exclude amounts for non-cash equity AFUDC and other non-cash items, for the years ended December 31 are as follows (in millions):

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Historical** | **Historical** | **Historical** | **Forecast** | **Forecast** | **Forecast** |
| | **2023** | **2024** | **2025** | **2026** | **2027** | **2028** |
| Electric transmission | $1189 | $840 | $646 | $1133 | $920 | $590 |
| Electric distribution | 673 | 761 | 783 | 762 | 387 | 546 |
| Wildfire prevention | 325 | 539 | 789 | 499 | 468 | 520 |
| Wind generation | 755 | 425 | 221 | 43 | 29 | 28 |
| Other | 284 | 537 | 556 | 447 | 729 | 771 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $3226 | $3102 | $2995 | $2884 | $2533 | $2455 |

---

------

PacifiCorp's historical and forecast capital expenditures include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Electric transmission includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Transmission growth primarily reflects costs associated with major transmission projects. Expenditures for certain projects placed in-service during 2024 totaled $72 million for 2025, $382 million for 2024 and $738 million for 2023. Expenditures for major transmission projects that are expected to be placed in-service through 2032 totaled $213 million for 2025, $112 million for 2024 and $55 million for 2023. Planned spending for major transmission projects that are expected to be placed in-service through 2032 totals $431 million in 2026, $260 million in 2027 and $132 million in 2028 and includes the Boardman to Hemingway 300-mile, 500-kV transmission line discussed in Notes 14 and 21 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. The remaining investments primarily relate to expenditures for transmission operations, generation interconnection requests and other transmission segments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Electric distribution includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Growth expenditures include spending on new customer connections totaled $354 million in 2025, $338 million in 2024 and $264 million in 2023. Planned spending for new customer connections total $397 million in 2026, $29 million in 2027 and $218 million in 2028. The remaining investments primarily relate to expenditures for distribution operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Wildfire prevention includes operating expenditures. Expenditures totaled $789 million in 2025, $539 million in 2024 and $325 million in 2023. Planned spending through 2028 is comprised of reducing wildfire risk in the fire high consequence areas by conversion of overhead systems to underground, replacing overhead bare wire conductor with covered conductors, replacing traditional fuses with non-expulsion fuses and deployment of advanced protection devices for faster fault detection. The efforts will also include an expansion of the weather station network and predictive tools for situational awareness across the entire service territory.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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 $195 million for 2025, $396 million for 2024 and $735 million for 2023. PacifiCorp placed in-service 529 MWs at the Rock Creek I and Rock Creek II wind-powered generating facilities in 2025, 50 MWs at the Rock River I and 61 MWs at the Rock Creek I wind-powered generating facilities in 2024 and 42 MWs at the Foote Creek III and Foote Creek IV wind-powered generating facilities in 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Expenditures for information technology totaled $151 million in 2025, $159 million in 2024 and $179 million for 2023. Planned information technology spending totals $107 million in 2026, $233 million in 2027 and $338 million in 2028. The remaining investments relate to operating projects that consist of routine expenditures for generation and other infrastructure needed to serve existing and expected demand

Certain capital expenditures pertain to projects that are subject to federal grant funding. Forecast amounts included above do not reflect the potential cost reimbursements associated with these federal grants.

<u>Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements</u>

From time to time, PacifiCorp enters into arrangements in the normal course of business to facilitate commercial transactions with third parties that involve guarantees or similar arrangements. PacifiCorp currently has indemnification obligations in connection with the sale or transfer of certain assets. PacifiCorp believes that the likelihood that it would be required to perform or otherwise incur any significant losses associated with any of these obligations is remote. Refer to Notes 11, 14, and 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information on these obligations and arrangements.

**Material Cash Requirements** 

PacifiCorp has cash requirements that may affect its consolidated financial condition that arise primarily from long-term debt (refer to Note 8); certain commitments and contingencies, including those associated with the Wildfires (refer to Note 14); and cost of removal and AROs (refer to Notes 6 and 11). Refer to the respective referenced note in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

PacifiCorp has cash requirements relating to interest payments of $13.8 billion on long-term debt, including $738 million due in 2026.

PacifiCorp is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to the discussion contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-K for further information regarding PacifiCorp's general regulatory framework and 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 consolidated financial results.

Refer to "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Item 1 of this Form 10-K for further discussion regarding environmental laws and regulations.

**Collateral and Contingent Features**

Debt securities of PacifiCorp are rated by credit rating agencies. Assigned credit ratings are based on each rating agency's assessment of PacifiCorp's ability to, in general, meet the obligations of its issued debt securities. The credit ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and there is no assurance that a particular credit rating will continue for any given period of time. As of December 31, 2025, PacifiCorp's issuer credit ratings for senior unsecured debt from the recognized credit rating agencies were investment grade.

PacifiCorp has no credit rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity dates of outstanding debt and a change in ratings is not an event of default under the applicable debt instruments. PacifiCorp's unsecured revolving credit facilities do not require the maintenance of a minimum credit rating level to draw upon their availability. However, commitment fees and interest rates under the credit facilities are tied to credit ratings and increase or decrease when the ratings change. A ratings downgrade could also increase the future cost of commercial paper, short- and long-term debt issuances or new credit facilities. Certain authorizations or exemptions by regulatory commissions for the issuance of securities are valid as long as PacifiCorp maintains investment grade ratings on senior secured debt. A downgrade below that level would necessitate new regulatory applications and approvals.

In accordance with industry practice, certain wholesale energy agreements, including contracts for purchases, sales and transportation of electricity, natural gas and coal, some of which are accounted for as derivatives, 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. If all credit-risk-related contingent features or adequate assurance provisions for these agreements had been triggered as of December 31, 2025, PacifiCorp would have been required to post $182 million of additional collateral. PacifiCorp's collateral requirements associated with wholesale energy agreements could fluctuate considerably due to market price volatility; changes in credit ratings; changes in legislation or regulation or other factors; and if counterparties demand adequate assurance in the event of a material adverse change in PacifiCorp's creditworthiness. Refer to Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for a discussion of PacifiCorp's collateral requirements specific to PacifiCorp's derivative contracts.

As described in Note 14 to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K, PacifiCorp had posted surety bonds totaling $606 million as of December 31, 2025, to stay payment of damages in the *James* case pending appeals. A limited number of the surety bond agreements include contingent features associated with PacifiCorp's financial condition. If all financial condition-related contingent features associated with the surety bonds had been triggered as of December 31, 2025, PacifiCorp would have been required to post $135 million of cash collateral.

------

**Inflation**

PacifiCorp operates under a cost-of-service based rate-setting structure administered by various state commissions and the FERC. Under this rate-setting structure, PacifiCorp is allowed to include prudent costs in its rates, including the impact of inflation. PacifiCorp seeks to minimize the potential impact of inflation on its operations through the use of energy and other cost adjustment clauses and tariff riders, by employing prudent risk management and hedging strategies and entering into contracts with fixed pricing where possible by considering, among other areas, its impact on purchases of energy, operating expenses, materials and equipment costs, contract negotiations, future capital spending programs and long-term debt issuances. There can be no assurance that such actions will be successful.

**New Accounting Pronouncements**

For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements affecting PacifiCorp, refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

**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. The following critical accounting estimates are impacted significantly by PacifiCorp's methods, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with PacifiCorp's Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

*Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation*

PacifiCorp prepares its financial statements in accordance with authoritative guidance for regulated operations, which recognizes the economic effects of regulation. Accordingly, PacifiCorp defers the recognition of certain costs or income if it is probable that, through the ratemaking process, there will be a corresponding increase or decrease in future rates. Regulatory assets and liabilities are established to reflect the impacts of these deferrals, which will be recognized in earnings in the periods the corresponding changes in rates occur.

PacifiCorp continually evaluates the applicability of the guidance for regulated operations and whether its regulatory assets and liabilities are probable of inclusion in future rates by considering factors such as a change in the regulator's approach to setting rates from cost-based ratemaking to another form of regulation, other regulatory actions or the impact of competition that could limit PacifiCorp's ability to recover its costs. PacifiCorp believes its application of the guidance for regulated operations is appropriate and its existing regulatory assets and liabilities are probable of inclusion in future rates. The evaluation reflects the current political and regulatory climate at both the federal and state levels. If it becomes no longer probable that the deferred costs or income will be included in future rates, the related regulatory assets and liabilities will be recognized in net income, returned to customers or re-established as AOCI. Total regulatory assets were $2.6 billion and total regulatory liabilities were $2.7 billion as of December 31, 2025. Refer to Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding PacifiCorp's regulatory assets and liabilities.

*Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits*

PacifiCorp sponsors defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans as described in Note 10. PacifiCorp recognizes the funded status of these defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Funded status is the fair value of plan assets minus the benefit obligation as of the measurement date. As of December 31, 2025, PacifiCorp recognized a net asset totaling $132 million for the funded status of its defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. As of December 31, 2025, amounts not yet recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost (credit) included in net regulatory assets and accumulated other comprehensive loss totaled $204 million and $13 million, respectively.

------

The expense and benefit obligations relating to these defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans are based on actuarial valuations. Inherent in these valuations are key assumptions, including, but not limited to, discount rate and expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. These key assumptions are reviewed annually and modified as appropriate. PacifiCorp believes that the key assumptions utilized in recording obligations under the plans are reasonable based on prior plan experience and current market and economic conditions. Refer to Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for disclosures about PacifiCorp's defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans, including the key assumptions used to calculate the funded status and net periodic benefit cost for these plans as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

PacifiCorp chooses a discount rate based upon high quality debt security investment yields in effect as of the measurement date with cash flows aligning to the expected timing and amount of plan liabilities. The pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities increase as the discount rate is reduced.

In establishing its assumption as to the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, PacifiCorp evaluates the investment allocation between return-seeking investment and fixed income securities based on the funded status of the plan and utilizes the asset allocation and return assumptions for each asset class based on forward-looking views of the financial markets and historical performance. Pension and other postretirement benefits expense increases as the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets decreases. PacifiCorp regularly reviews its actual asset allocations and rebalances its investments to its targeted allocations when considered appropriate.

The key assumptions used may differ materially from period to period due to changing market and economic conditions. These differences may result in a significant impact to pension and other postretirement benefits expense and funded status. If changes were to occur for the following key assumptions, the approximate effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements would be as follows (in millions):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | | | **Other Postretirement** | **Other Postretirement** |
| | **Pension Plans** | **Pension Plans** | **Benefit Plan** | **Benefit Plan** |
| | **+0.5%** | **-0.5%** | **+0.5%** | **-0.5%** |
| **Effect on December 31, 2025 Benefit Obligations:** |  |  |  |  |
| Discount rate | $(22) | $24 | $(7) | $7 |
| **Effect on 2025 Periodic Cost:** |  |  |  |  |
| Discount rate | $1 | $(1) | $— | $— |
| Expected rate of return on plan assets | (4) | 4 | (1) | 1 |

---

A variety of factors affect the funded status of the plans, including discount rates, asset returns, mortality assumptions, plan changes and PacifiCorp's funding policy for each plan.

*Income Taxes*

In determining PacifiCorp's income taxes, management is required to interpret complex income tax laws and regulations, which includes consideration of regulatory implications imposed by PacifiCorp's various regulatory commissions. PacifiCorp's income tax returns are subject to continuous examinations by federal, state and local income tax authorities that may give rise to different interpretations of these complex laws and regulations. Due to the nature of the examination process, it generally takes years before these examinations are completed and these matters are resolved. PacifiCorp recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Although the ultimate resolution of PacifiCorp's federal, state and local income tax examinations is uncertain, PacifiCorp believes it has made adequate provisions for these income tax positions. The aggregate amount of any additional income tax liabilities that may result from these examinations is not expected to have a material impact on PacifiCorp's consolidated financial results. Refer to Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding PacifiCorp's income taxes.

------

It is probable that PacifiCorp will pass income tax benefit and expense related to the federal tax rate change from 35% to 21%, certain property-related basis differences and other various differences on to customers in certain state jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2025, these amounts were recognized as a net regulatory liability of $762 million and will primarily be included in regulated rates over the estimated useful lives of the related properties.

*Wildfire Loss Contingencies*

PacifiCorp is required to evaluate its exposure to potential loss contingencies arising from claims associated with the Wildfires. In determining this exposure, PacifiCorp is required to assess whether the likelihood of loss associated with the Wildfires is remote, reasonably possible or probable, which involves complex judgments based on several variables including available information regarding cause and origin investigations, settlement and mediation activities, other litigation matters and upcoming legal proceedings. If deemed reasonably possible, PacifiCorp is required to estimate the potential loss or range of potential loss and disclose any material amounts. If deemed probable, PacifiCorp is required to accrue a loss if reasonably estimable based on the bottom end of the range if no amount within the range of estimated loss is any better than another amount. Many assumptions and variables are involved in determining these estimates, including identifying the various categories of potential loss such as fire suppression costs, real and personal property damages, natural resource damages and noneconomic damages such as personal injury damages and loss of life damages. Within the categories of potential loss, further assumptions are made regarding items such as the types of structures damaged, estimated replacement values associated with those structures, value of personal property, the types of natural resource damage such as timber, the value of that timber, the nature of noneconomic damages such as those arising from personal injuries, other damages PacifiCorp may be responsible for if found negligent such as punitive damages, and the amount of any penalties or fines that may be imposed by governmental entities. Estimates associated with the Wildfires are subject to change as additional relevant information becomes available. Refer to Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding PacifiCorp's loss contingencies associated with the Wildfires.

**Item 7A.** &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

PacifiCorp's Consolidated Balance Sheets include assets and liabilities with fair values that are subject to market risks. PacifiCorp's significant market risks are primarily associated with commodity prices, interest rates and the extension of credit to counterparties with which PacifiCorp transacts. The following discussion addresses the significant market risks associated with PacifiCorp's business activities. PacifiCorp has established guidelines for credit risk management. Refer to Notes 2 and 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding PacifiCorp's contracts accounted for as derivatives.

PacifiCorp has a risk management committee that is responsible for the oversight of market and credit risk relating to the commodity transactions of PacifiCorp. To limit PacifiCorp's exposure to market and credit risk, the risk management committee recommends, and executive management establishes, policies, limits and approved products, which are reviewed frequently to respond to changing market conditions.

Risk is an inherent part of PacifiCorp's business and 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. The risk management policy governs energy transactions and is designed for hedging PacifiCorp's existing energy and asset exposures, and to a limited extent, the policy permits arbitrage and trading activities to take advantage of market inefficiencies. The policy also governs the types of transactions authorized for use and establishes guidelines for credit risk management and management information systems required to effectively monitor such transactions. PacifiCorp's risk management policy provides for the use of only those contracts that have a similar volume or price relationship to its portfolio of assets, liabilities or anticipated transactions.

PacifiCorp has controls and procedures in place to monitor compliance with its risk management policy and limit procedures on a regular and on-going basis, including remediation procedures in the event of an incident of non-compliance to the policy.

------

<u>Commodity Price Risk</u>

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. PacifiCorp does not engage in a material amount of proprietary trading activities. 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 does not hedge all of its commodity price risk, thereby exposing the unhedged portion to changes in market prices. PacifiCorp's exposure to commodity price risk is generally limited by its ability to include commodity costs in rates, which is subject to regulatory lag that occurs between the time the costs are incurred and when the costs are included in rates, as well as the impact of any customer sharing resulting from cost adjustment mechanisms.

PacifiCorp measures, monitors and manages the market risk in its electricity and natural gas portfolio in comparison to established thresholds and measures its open positions subject to price risk in terms of quantity at each delivery location for each forward time period. PacifiCorp has a risk management policy that requires increasing volumes of hedge transactions over a three-year position management and hedging horizon to reduce market risk of its electricity and natural gas portfolio.

The table that follows summarizes PacifiCorp's price risk on commodity contracts accounted for as derivatives, excluding net collateral receivable of $71 million and $6 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and shows the effects of a hypothetical 10% increase and 10% decrease in forward market prices by the expected volumes for these contracts as of that date. The selected hypothetical change does not reflect what could be considered the best or worst case scenarios (dollars in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | | **Estimated Fair Value after** | **Estimated Fair Value after** |
| | | **Hypothetical Change in Price** | **Hypothetical Change in Price** |
| | **Fair Value -**<br> **Net (Liability)**<br>**Asset** | **10% increase** | **10% decrease** |
| **<u>As of December 31, 2025:</u>** | | | |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total commodity derivative contracts | $(137) | $(92) | $(182) |
| **<u>As of December 31, 2024:</u>** |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total commodity derivative contracts | $(97) | $(56) | $(138) |

---

PacifiCorp's commodity derivative contracts are generally recoverable from customers in rates; therefore, net unrealized gains and losses associated with interim price movements on commodity derivative contracts do not expose PacifiCorp to earnings volatility. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, a regulatory asset of $137 million and $97 million, respectively, was recorded related to the net derivative liability of $137 million and $97 million, respectively.

<u>Interest Rate Risk</u>

PacifiCorp is exposed to interest rate risk on its outstanding variable-rate short- and long-term debt and future debt issuances. 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. As a result of the fixed interest rates, PacifiCorp's fixed-rate long-term debt does not expose PacifiCorp to the risk of loss due to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, because fixed-rate long-term debt is not carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, changes in fair value would impact earnings and cash flows only if PacifiCorp were to reacquire all or a portion of these instruments prior to their maturity. 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. The nature and amount of PacifiCorp's short- and long-term debt can be expected to vary from period to period as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. Refer to Notes 7, 8 and 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion of PacifiCorp's short- and long-term debt.

------

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, PacifiCorp had short- and long-term variable-rate obligations totaling $1.0 billion and $292 million, respectively, that expose PacifiCorp to the risk of increased interest expense in the event of increases in short-term interest rates. The market risk related to PacifiCorp's variable-rate debt as of December 31, 2025 is not hedged. If variable interest rates were to increase by 10% from December 31 levels, it would not have a material effect on PacifiCorp's consolidated annual interest expense. The carrying value of the variable-rate obligations approximates fair value as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

<u>Credit Risk</u>

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.

As of December 31, 2025, PacifiCorp's aggregate credit exposure with wholesale energy supply and marketing counterparties included counterparties having non-investment grade, internally rated credit ratings. Substantially all of these non-investment grade, internally rated counterparties are associated with long-duration solar and wind power purchase agreements, some of which are from facilities that have not yet achieved commercial operation and for which PacifiCorp has no obligation should the facilities not achieve commercial operation.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of PacifiCorp

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PacifiCorp and subsidiaries ("PacifiCorp") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PacifiCorp as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of PacifiCorp's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on PacifiCorp's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. PacifiCorp is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of PacifiCorp's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matters**

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the Board of Directors and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

**Regulatory Matters — Effects of Rate Regulation on the Financial Statements — Refer to Note 6 to the financial statements**

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

PacifiCorp is subject to rate regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as well as certain other regulatory commissions (collectively, the "Commissions"), which have jurisdiction with respect to the rates of electric and natural gas companies in the respective service territories where PacifiCorp operates. Management has determined its regulated operations meet the requirements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to prepare its financial statements applying the specialized rules to account for the effects of cost-based rate regulation. Accounting for the economic effects of rate regulation has a pervasive effect on the financial statements.

------

Regulated rates are subject to regulatory rate-setting processes. Rates are determined, approved, and established based on a cost-of-service basis, which is designed to allow PacifiCorp an opportunity to recover its prudently incurred costs of providing services and to earn a reasonable return on its invested capital. Regulatory decisions can have an effect on the recovery of costs, the rate of return earned on investment, and the timing and amount of assets to be recovered by rates. While PacifiCorp has indicated it expects to recover costs from customers through regulated rates, there is a risk that changes to the Commissions' approach to setting rates or other regulatory actions could limit PacifiCorp's ability to recover its costs.

We identified the effects of rate regulation on the financial statements as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgments made by management to support its assertions about certain affected account balances and disclosures and the high degree of subjectivity involved in assessing the impact of regulatory orders on the financial statements. Management judgments include assessing the likelihood of (1) recovery in future rates of incurred costs, (2) a disallowance of part of the cost of recently completed plant or plant under construction, and (3) refunds to customers. Given that management's accounting judgments are based on assumptions about the outcome of decisions by the Commissions, auditing these judgments required specialized knowledge of accounting for rate regulation and the rate setting process due to its inherent complexities.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to the uncertainty of decisions by the Commissions included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated PacifiCorp's disclosures related to the effects of rate regulation by testing certain recorded balances and evaluating regulatory developments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We read relevant regulatory orders issued by the Commissions, regulatory statutes, filings made by PacifiCorp and other external information. We evaluated relevant external information and compared it to certain recorded regulatory asset and liability balances for completeness.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For certain regulatory matters, we inspected PacifiCorp's filings with the Commissions and the filings with the Commissions by intervenors to assess the likelihood of recovery in future rates or of a future reduction in rates based on precedents of the Commissions' treatment of similar costs under similar circumstances.

**Wildfires — Contingencies — Refer to Note 14 to the financial statements**

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

As a result of several wildfires that have occurred in PacifiCorp's service territory and surrounding areas in Oregon and California, PacifiCorp is required to evaluate its exposure to potential loss contingencies arising from claims associated with the 2020 Wildfires and the 2022 McKinney Fire (the "Wildfires"). In determining this exposure, PacifiCorp is required to determine whether the likelihood of loss for each of the Wildfires is remote, reasonably possible or probable, which involves complex judgments based on several variables including available information regarding the cause and origin of the Wildfires, investigations, discovery associated with lawsuits and negotiations with claimants.

A provision for a loss contingency is recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If deemed reasonably possible, PacifiCorp is required to estimate and disclose the potential loss or range of potential loss.

Management has recorded estimated liabilities which represent its best estimate of probable losses associated with the Wildfires.

We identified wildfire-related contingencies and the related disclosures as a critical audit matter because of the significant judgments made by management to determine the probability of loss and estimate the probable losses. Auditing the reasonableness of management's judgments, estimates and disclosures related to wildfire-related loss contingencies required the application of a high degree of judgment and extensive effort.

------

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to management's judgments regarding the probability of loss, estimated losses and related disclosures for wildfire-related contingencies included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated management's judgments related to whether a loss was remote, reasonably possible, or probable for the Wildfires by inquiring of management and PacifiCorp's external and internal legal counsel regarding the likelihood of loss and amounts of probable and reasonably possible losses. We also evaluated the potential impact of information gained through PacifiCorp and third-parties' investigations into the cause of the fires, information from claimants, the advice of legal counsel, and reading external information for any evidence that might contradict management's assertions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated the estimation methodology for determining the amount of probable and reasonably possible losses through inquiries with management and external and internal legal counsel, and we tested the significant assumptions, including certain settlements, used in the estimates of probable and reasonably possible losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We read legal letters from PacifiCorp's external and internal legal counsel regarding known information and evaluated whether the information therein was consistent with the information obtained in our procedures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated whether PacifiCorp's disclosures were appropriate and consistent with the information obtained in our procedures.

**PACIFICORP AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(1)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Organization and Operations**

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 based in Des Moines, Iowa that has investments in subsidiaries principally engaged in energy businesses. BHE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway").

*Subsequent Event*

Refer to Note 22 for information associated with the future sale of certain PacifiCorp assets and liabilities associated with PacifiCorp's Washington operations.

**(2)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

*Basis of Consolidation and Presentation*

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of PacifiCorp and its subsidiaries in which it holds a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement date. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

*Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements*

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, the effects of regulation; certain assumptions made in accounting for pension and other postretirement benefits; asset retirement obligations ("AROs"); income taxes; unbilled revenue; valuation of certain financial assets and liabilities, including derivative contracts; and accounting for loss contingencies and applicable insurance recoveries, including those related to the Oregon and Northern California 2020 wildfires (the "2020 Wildfires") and a 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"), referred to together as "the Wildfires" as discussed in Note 14. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements.

*Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation*

PacifiCorp prepares its financial statements in accordance with authoritative guidance for regulated operations, which recognizes the economic effects of regulation. Accordingly, PacifiCorp defers the recognition of certain costs or income if it is probable that, through the ratemaking process, there will be a corresponding increase or decrease in future rates. Regulatory assets and liabilities are established to reflect the impacts of these deferrals, which will be recognized in earnings in the periods the corresponding changes in rates occur.

If it becomes no longer probable that the deferred costs or income will be included in future rates, the related regulatory assets and liabilities will be recognized in net income, returned to customers or re-established as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI").

------

*Fair Value Measurements*

As defined under GAAP, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability between market participants in the principal market or in the most advantageous market when no principal market exists. Adjustments to transaction prices or quoted market prices may be required in illiquid or disorderly markets in order to estimate fair value. Different valuation techniques may be appropriate under the circumstances to determine the value that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction. Market participants are assumed to be independent, knowledgeable, able and willing to transact an exchange and not under duress. Nonperformance or credit risk is considered when determining fair value. Considerable judgment may be required in interpreting market data used to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current or future market exchange.

*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 of December 31, 2025 and 2024 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 December 31,** | **As of December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $73 | $46 |
| Restricted cash included in other current assets | 19 | 12 |
| Restricted cash included in other assets | 3 | 3 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents | $95 | $61 |

---

*Investments* 

Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with realized gains and losses, as determined on a specific identification basis, recognized in earnings and unrealized gains and losses recognized in AOCI, net of tax. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, PacifiCorp had no unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. Trading securities are carried at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings.

*Equity Method Investments*

PacifiCorp utilizes the equity method of accounting with respect to investments when it possesses the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial policies of the investee. The ability to exercise significant influence is presumed when an investor possesses more than 20% of the voting interests of the investee. This presumption may be overcome based on specific facts and circumstances that demonstrate that the ability to exercise significant influence is restricted. In applying the equity method, PacifiCorp records the investment at cost and subsequently increases or decreases the carrying value of the investment by PacifiCorp's proportionate share of the net earnings or losses and other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI") of the investee. PacifiCorp records dividends or other equity distributions as reductions in the carrying value of the investment.

------

*Allowance for Credit Losses*

Trade receivables are primarily short-term in nature with stated collection terms of less than one year from the date of origination, and are stated at the outstanding principal amount, net of an estimated allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is based on PacifiCorp's assessment of the collectability of amounts owed to PacifiCorp by its customers. This assessment requires judgment regarding the ability of customers to pay or the outcome of any pending disputes. In measuring the allowance for credit losses for trade receivables, PacifiCorp primarily utilizes credit loss history. However, PacifiCorp may adjust the allowance for credit losses to reflect current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that deviate from historical experience. The changes in the balance of the allowance for credit losses, which is included in trade receivables, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, is summarized as follows for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Beginning balance | $22 | $30 | $19 |
| Charged to operating costs and expenses, net | 33 | 26 | 34 |
| Write-offs, net | (35) | (34) | (23) |
| Ending balance | $20 | $22 | $30 |

---

*Derivatives*

PacifiCorp employs a number of different derivative contracts, which may include forwards, options, swaps and other agreements, to manage price risk for electricity, natural gas and other commodities and interest rate risk. 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. Derivative balances reflect offsetting permitted under master netting agreements with counterparties and cash collateral paid or received under such agreements.

Commodity derivatives used in normal business operations that are settled by physical delivery, among other criteria, are eligible for and may be designated as normal purchases or normal sales. Normal purchases or normal sales contracts are not marked-to-market and settled amounts are recognized as operating revenue or cost of fuel and energy on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For PacifiCorp's derivative contracts, the settled amount is generally included in rates. Accordingly, the net unrealized gains and losses associated with interim price movements on contracts that are accounted for as derivatives and probable of inclusion in rates are recorded as regulatory liabilities or assets. For a derivative contract not probable of inclusion in rates, changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings.

*Inventories*

Inventories consist mainly of materials, supplies and fuel stocks and are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.

*Property, Plant and Equipment, Net*

*General*

Additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. PacifiCorp capitalizes all construction-related material, direct labor and contract services, as well as indirect construction costs, which include debt and equity allowance for funds used during construction ("AFUDC"). The cost of additions and betterments are capitalized, while costs incurred that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the related assets are generally expensed.

------

Depreciation and amortization are generally computed on the straight-line method based on composite asset class lives prescribed by PacifiCorp's various regulatory authorities or over the assets' estimated useful lives. Depreciation studies are completed periodically to determine the appropriate composite asset class lives, net salvage and depreciation rates. These studies are reviewed and rates are ultimately approved by the various regulatory authorities. Net salvage includes the estimated future residual values of the assets and any estimated removal costs recovered through approved depreciation rates. Estimated removal costs are recorded as either a cost of removal regulatory liability or an ARO liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, depending on whether the obligation meets the requirements of an ARO. As actual removal costs are incurred, the associated liability is reduced.

Generally when PacifiCorp retires or sells a component of regulated property, plant and equipment, it charges the original cost, net of any proceeds from the disposition, to accumulated depreciation. Any gain or loss on disposals of all other assets is recorded through earnings.

Debt and equity AFUDC, which represents the estimated costs of debt and equity funds necessary to finance the construction of property, plant and equipment, is capitalized as a component of property, plant and equipment, with offsetting credits to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. AFUDC is computed based on guidelines set forth by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC"). After construction is completed, PacifiCorp is permitted to earn a return on these costs as a component of the related assets, as well as recover these costs through depreciation expense over the useful lives of the related assets.

*Asset Retirement Obligations*

PacifiCorp recognizes AROs when it has a legal obligation to perform decommissioning, reclamation or removal activities upon retirement of an asset. PacifiCorp's AROs are primarily associated with its generating facilities. The fair value of an ARO liability is recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset, which is then depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the ARO liability is adjusted for any revisions to the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows (with corresponding adjustments to property, plant and equipment, net) and for accretion of the ARO liability due to the passage of time. The difference between the ARO liability, the corresponding ARO asset included in property, plant and equipment, net and amounts recovered in rates to satisfy such liabilities is recorded as a regulatory asset or liability.

*Impairment*

PacifiCorp evaluates long-lived assets for impairment, including property, plant and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable or when the assets are being held for sale. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the asset is reviewed to assess whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of the asset plus the residual value from the ultimate disposal exceeds the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amounts, the asset is written down to the estimated fair value and any resulting impairment loss is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As substantially all property, plant and equipment supports PacifiCorp's regulated operations, the impacts of regulation are considered when evaluating the carrying value of regulated assets.

*Leases*

PacifiCorp has non-cancelable operating leases primarily for land, office space, office equipment, and generating facilities and finance leases consisting primarily of battery energy storage systems ("Energy Storage"), office buildings, natural gas pipeline facilities, and vehicles. These leases generally require PacifiCorp to pay for insurance, taxes and maintenance applicable to the leased property. Given the capital-intensive nature of the utility industry, it is common for a portion of lease costs to be capitalized when used during construction or maintenance of assets, in which the associated costs will be capitalized with the corresponding asset and depreciated over the remaining life of that asset. Certain leases contain renewal options for varying periods and escalation clauses for adjusting rent to reflect changes in price indices. PacifiCorp does not include options in its lease calculations unless there is a triggering event indicating PacifiCorp is reasonably certain to exercise the option. PacifiCorp's accounting policy is to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease obligations for leases with contract terms of one year or less and not separate lease components from non-lease components and instead account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with a lease as a single lease component. Right-of-use assets are evaluated for impairment in line with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment" when a triggering event has occurred that might affect the value and use of the assets being leased.

------

PacifiCorp's leases of generating facilities generally are in the form of long-term purchases of electricity, also known as power purchase agreements ("PPA"). PPAs are generally signed before or during the early stages of project construction and can yield a lease that has not yet commenced. These agreements are primarily for renewable energy, and the payments are generally considered variable lease payments as they are based on the amount of output. The lease payments associated with PacifiCorp's Energy Storage agreements are considered fixed because they are based on the guaranteed storage capacity.

PacifiCorp's operating and finance right-of-use assets are recorded in other assets and the operating and finance lease liabilities are recorded in current and long-term other liabilities accordingly.

*Revenue Recognition*

PacifiCorp uses a single five-step model to identify and recognize revenue from contracts with customers ("Customer Revenue") upon transfer of control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which PacifiCorp expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. PacifiCorp records sales, franchise and excise taxes collected directly from customers and remitted directly to the taxing authorities on a net basis on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Substantially all of PacifiCorp's Customer Revenue is derived from tariff-based sales arrangements approved by various regulatory commissions. These tariff-based revenues are mainly comprised of energy, transmission and distribution and have performance obligations to deliver energy products and services to customers which are satisfied over time as energy is delivered or services are provided.

Revenue recognized is equal to what PacifiCorp has the right to invoice as it corresponds directly with the value to the customer of PacifiCorp's performance to date and includes billed and unbilled amounts. Payments for amounts billed are generally due from the customer within 30 days of billing. Rates charged for energy products and services are established by regulators or contractual arrangements that establish the transaction price as well as the allocation of price amongst the separate performance obligations. When preliminary regulated rates are permitted to be billed prior to final approval by the applicable regulator, certain revenue collected may be subject to refund and a liability for estimated refunds is accrued.

The determination of customer billings is based on a systematic reading of meters. At the end of each month, energy provided to customers since the date of the last meter reading is estimated, and the corresponding unbilled revenue is recorded. Factors that can impact the estimate of unbilled energy include, but are not limited to, seasonal weather patterns, total volumes supplied to the system, line losses, economic impacts and composition of sales among customer classes. Unbilled revenue is reversed in the following month and billed revenue is recorded based on the subsequent meter readings.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, trade receivables, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets relate substantially to Customer Revenue, including unbilled revenue of $382 million and $329 million, respectively.

*Unamortized Debt Premiums, Discounts and Debt Issuance Costs*

Premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs incurred for the issuance of long-term debt are amortized over the term of the related financing using the effective interest method.

*Income Taxes*

Berkshire Hathaway includes PacifiCorp in its consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. Consistent with established regulatory practice, PacifiCorp's provision for income taxes has been computed on a stand-alone basis.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted income tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities associated with components of OCI are charged or credited directly to OCI. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities associated with certain property-related basis differences and other various differences that PacifiCorp deems probable to be passed on to its customers in most state jurisdictions are charged or credited directly to a regulatory asset or liability and will be included in regulated rates when the temporary differences reverse or as otherwise approved by PacifiCorp's various regulatory commissions. Other changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities are included as a component of income tax expense. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities attributable to changes in enacted income tax rates are charged or credited to income tax expense or a regulatory asset or liability in the period of enactment. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more-likely-than-not to be realized.

------

Investment tax credits are deferred and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the related properties or as prescribed by various regulatory commissions.

PacifiCorp recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. PacifiCorp's unrecognized tax benefits are primarily included in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Estimated interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense (benefit) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

*Government Grants*

From time to time, PacifiCorp enters into grant agreements with federal agencies, as well as agreements with third parties as a subrecipient of a federal grant, subjecting PacifiCorp to various federal compliance requirements. Most commonly these are cost share grants where PacifiCorp expenditures match the amount of grant proceeds. Grant proceeds most frequently support capital projects but are also used to cover operating costs. Grant proceeds received to reimburse capital project costs are applied as a direct offset to construction work-in-progress, ultimately serving to reduce PacifiCorp's investment in property, plant and equipment. Grant proceeds received to reimburse operating costs are applied as an offset to operating expense.

*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.

*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 adopted this guidance for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025, under the retrospective method. The adoption did not have a material impact on PacifiCorp's Consolidated Financial Statements, but did expand the disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 9 for expanded rate reconciliation disclosures and disaggregation of income taxes paid.

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, as clarified in ASU 2025-01, 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.

------

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, Government Grants Topic 832, "Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities" which establishes accounting for government grants received by an entity, including guidance for a grant related to an asset and a grant related to income. This guidance also requires, consistent with current disclosure requirements, that an entity provide disclosures including the nature of the government grant received, the accounting policies used to account for the grant, and significant terms and conditions of the grant. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028. Early adoption is permitted and can be applied using either a modified prospective approach, a modified retrospective approach or a retrospective approach. 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)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Property, Plant and Equipment, Net**

Property, plant and equipment, net consists of the following as of December 31 (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Depreciable Life** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Utility Plant: |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Generation | 15 - 59 years | $15114 | $14316 |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Distribution | 20 - 75 years | 11127 | 9842 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Intangible plant and other | 2 - 75 years | 2667 | 2958 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Utility plant in-service |  | 40640 | 38055 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accumulated depreciation and amortization |  | (12875) | (12504) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Utility plant in-service, net |  | 27765 | 25551 |
| Nonregulated, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization | 34 - 75 years | 18 | 19 |

| Construction work-in-progress |  | 3330 | 3550 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Property, plant and equipment, net |  | $31113 | $29120 |

---

The average depreciation and amortization rate applied to depreciable property, plant and equipment was 3.3%, 3.2% and 3.4% for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, including the impacts of accelerated depreciation totaling $87 million associated with Utah's share of certain coal-fueled units and depreciation related regulatory assets pursuant to the April 2025 Utah general rate case order. As discussed in Note 6, existing regulatory deferrals associated with the Utah Sustainability and Transportation Plan ("STEP") were utilized to accelerate depreciation of these assets.

*Unallocated Acquisition Adjustments*

PacifiCorp has unallocated acquisition adjustments that represent the excess of costs of the acquired interests in property, plant and equipment purchased from the entity that first dedicated the assets to utility service over their net book value in those assets. These unallocated acquisition adjustments included in other property, plant and equipment had an original cost of $156 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and accumulated depreciation of $145 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

*Government Grants*

In November 2024, PacifiCorp accepted two cost share grants from the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") under the DOE's Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships ("GRIP") Program supported by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The two GRIP grants will provide cash proceeds totaling approximately $150 million as cost reimbursements supporting PacifiCorp's investment in certain wildfire mitigation projects, such as system hardening for fire resistance and prevention and new substation infrastructure, and other investments in technologies that significantly enhance situational awareness to reduce or mitigate wildfires and improve electric grid flexibility, reliability and resiliency. The period of performance for both GRIP grants extends through September 2028 and 2029. No costs incurred after the period of performance will be eligible for reimbursement.

------

In conjunction with the two GRIP awards, the DOE and U.S. Department of Labor accepted PacifiCorp's request for a temporary exception regarding the Davis-Bacon Act weekly pay and certified payroll reporting requirements with which PacifiCorp is required to comply under the terms of the grants. The parties agreed to a curative plan that provides for a temporary means to achieve the goals of these requirements and allows PacifiCorp to have until April 1, 2026, to fully comply with these requirements.

In December 2024, PacifiCorp accepted four cost share grants from the DOE under the DOE's Hydroelectric Efficiency Improvement Incentive, supported by Section 243 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Expected grant proceeds for the hydroelectric grants total approximately $14 million as cost reimbursements to support PacifiCorp's efforts to improve efficiency and extend the life of its generating assets. The period of performance for the hydroelectric grants runs through March 2028.

In December 2025, PacifiCorp entered into three state grant agreements related to grid resiliency, which are intended to support activities focused on wildfire mitigation, outage prevention and overall grid-hardening measures. PacifiCorp participates in these programs as a subrecipient with the state agencies serving as the prime recipients of DOE grants. The total amount allocated to PacifiCorp for these grants is approximately $8 million. The period of performance extends through April 2030.

Previous DOE cost share grants primarily supported electric vehicle infrastructure programs and energy efficiency programs. The period of performance for the electric vehicle infrastructure grant ended December 2024, and was for total cash proceeds of $6 million. The energy efficiency grant was cancelled by the DOE in October 2025.

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. The pause was lifted on federal funding disbursements in April 2025 and the invoice process resumed.

Various compliance requirements are associated with the DOE grants, including demonstration that the costs are allowable under the grants. In the event PacifiCorp fails to meet these requirements, it could be required to return funds to the DOE. No costs incurred after the period of performance for a specific grant will be eligible for reimbursement.

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, approximately $50 million and $11 million, respectively, of federal grant funds reduced additions to Property, plant and equipment – net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and approximately $18 million and $4 million, respectively, of federal grant funds reduced operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Federal grant funds received prior to 2024 were insignificant.

**(4)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Jointly Owned Utility Facilities**

Under joint facility ownership agreements with other utilities, PacifiCorp, as a tenant in common, has undivided interests in jointly owned generation, transmission and distribution facilities. PacifiCorp accounts for its proportionate share of each facility, and each joint owner has provided financing for its share of each facility. Operating costs of each facility are assigned to joint owners based on their percentage of ownership or energy production, depending on the nature of the cost. Operating costs and expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations include PacifiCorp's share of the expenses of these facilities.

------

The amounts shown in the table below represent PacifiCorp's share in each jointly owned facility included in property, plant and equipment, net as of December 31, 2025 (dollars in millions):

(1)Represents amounts not yet recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost that are expected to be included in rates when recognized.

(2)Amounts represent regulatory assets established as a result of the Utah mine disposition in 2015 for the United Mine Workers of America ("UMWA") 1974 Pension Plan withdrawal and closure costs incurred to date considered probable of recovery. Refer to Note 10 for additional information.

(3)At December 31, 2025, DSM regulatory assets were substantially offset by amounts billed to Utah retail customers under Utah STEP. In accordance with the April 2025 Utah general rate case order, $87 million of amounts billed to Utah customers under Utah STEP were used to accelerate depreciation of certain plant balances and depreciation related regulatory assets included in "Other" above as discussed in Note 3.

Regulatory assets totaling approximately $991 million, primarily related to those for Employee benefit plans, Unrealized loss on derivative contracts and Asset retirement obligation, were not accruing interest or included in rate base earning a return on investment as of December 31, 2025. Most other regulatory assets accrue interest but are not included in rate base earning a return on investment. In general, regulatory assets associated with property, plant and equipment are included in rate base and earn a return on investment.

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effects of ratemaking is primarily attributable to activity associated with excess deferred income taxes.

Energy-related tax credits relate primarily to production tax credits ("PTC") earned by 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.

The net deferred income tax liability consists of the following as of December 31 (in millions):

**(10)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Employee Benefit Plans**

PacifiCorp sponsors defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans that cover certain of its employees, as well as a defined contribution 401(k) employee savings plan ("401(k) Plan"). In addition, PacifiCorp contributes to a joint trustee pension plan and a subsidiary previously contributed to a multiemployer pension plan for benefits offered to certain bargaining units.

<u>Defined Benefit Plans</u>

PacifiCorp's pension plans include non-contributory defined benefit pension plans, the PacifiCorp Retirement Plan ("Retirement Plan"), and the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"). The Retirement Plan is closed to all non-union employees hired after January 1, 2008. All non-union Retirement Plan participants hired prior to January 1, 2008 that did not elect to receive equivalent fixed contributions to the 401(k) Plan effective January 1, 2009 earned benefits based on a cash balance formula through December 31, 2016. Effective January 1, 2017, non-union employee participants with a cash balance benefit in the Retirement Plan are no longer eligible to receive pay credits in their cash balance formula. In general for union employees, benefits under the Retirement Plan were frozen at various dates from December 31, 2007 through December 31, 2011, as they are now being provided with enhanced 401(k) Plan benefits. However, certain limited union Retirement Plan participants continue to earn benefits under the Retirement Plan based on the employee's years of service and a final average pay formula. The SERP was closed to new participants as of March 21, 2006, and froze future accruals for active participants as of December 31, 2014.

PacifiCorp's other postretirement benefit plan provides healthcare and life insurance benefits to eligible retirees.

*Net Periodic Benefit Cost (Credit)*

For purposes of calculating the expected return on plan assets, a market-related value is used. The market-related value of plan assets is calculated by spreading the difference between expected and actual investment returns over a five-year period beginning after the first year in which they occur.

In establishing its assumption as to the expected return on plan assets, PacifiCorp utilizes the asset allocation and return assumptions for each asset class based on historical performance and forward-looking views of the financial markets.

*Contributions and Benefit Payments*

Employer contributions to the pension and other postretirement benefit plans are expected to be $4 million and $— million, respectively, during 2026. Funding to PacifiCorp's Retirement Plan trust is based upon the actuarially determined costs of the plan and the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") and the Pension Protection Act of 2006, as amended. PacifiCorp considers contributing additional amounts from time to time in order to achieve certain funding levels specified under the Pension Protection Act of 2006. PacifiCorp evaluates a variety of factors, including funded status, income tax laws and regulatory requirements, in determining contributions to its other postretirement benefit plan.

------

The expected benefit payments to participants in PacifiCorp's pension and other postretirement benefit plans for 2026 through 2030 and for the five years thereafter are summarized below (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Projected Benefit Payments** | **Projected Benefit Payments** |
| | **Pension** | **Other Postretirement** |

*Plan Assets*

*Investment Policy and Asset Allocations*

PacifiCorp's investment policy for its pension and other postretirement benefit plans is to balance risk and return through a diversified portfolio of debt securities, equity securities and other alternative investments. Maturities for debt securities are managed to targets consistent with prudent risk tolerances. The plans retain outside investment consultants to advise on plan investments within the parameters outlined by the Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company Investment Committee. The investment portfolio is managed in line with the investment policy with sufficient liquidity to meet near-term benefit payments.

The target allocations (percentage of plan assets) for PacifiCorp's pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets are as follows as of December 31, 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Pension**<sup>(1)</sup> | **Other Postretirement**<sup>(1)</sup> |
| | % | % |
| Debt securities<sup>(2)</sup> | 50 - 80 | 76 - 95 |
| Equity securities<sup>(2)</sup> | 10 - 50 | 0 - 19 |
| Other | 0 - 10 | 0 - 5 |

---

(1)The trust in which the PacifiCorp Retirement Plan is invested includes a separate account that is used to fund benefits for the other postretirement benefit plan. In addition to this separate account, the assets for the other postretirement benefit plan are held in Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association ("VEBA") trusts, each of which has its own investment allocation strategies. Target allocations for the other postretirement benefit plan include the separate account of the Retirement Plan trust and the VEBA trusts.

(2)For purposes of target allocation percentages and consistent with the plans' investment policy, investment funds are allocated based on the underlying investments in debt and equity securities.

(1)Refer to Note 13 for additional discussion regarding the three levels of the fair value hierarchy.

(2)Investment funds are substantially comprised of mutual funds and collective trust funds. These funds consist of equity and debt securities of approximately 0% and 100%, respectively, for 2025 and 39% and 61%, respectively, for 2024, and are invested in U.S. and international securities of approximately 88% and 12%, respectively, for 2025 and 90% and 10%, respectively, for 2024.

For level 1 investments, 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. For level 2 investments, the fair value is determined using pricing models based on observable market inputs. Shares of mutual funds not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, private equity limited partnership interests, common and commingled trust funds and investment entities are reported at fair value based on the net asset value per unit, which is used for expedience purposes. A fund's net asset value is based on the fair value of the underlying assets held by the fund less its liabilities.

<u>Multiemployer and Joint Trustee Pension Plans</u>

PacifiCorp contributes to the PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Retirement Trust Fund ("Local 57 Trust Fund") (plan number 001) and its subsidiary, Energy West Mining Company, previously contributed to the UMWA 1974 Pension Plan (plan number 002). Contributions to these pension plans are based on the terms of collective bargaining agreements.

------

As a result of the Utah Mine Disposition and UMWA labor settlement, PacifiCorp's subsidiary, Energy West Mining Company, triggered involuntary withdrawal from the UMWA 1974 Pension Plan in June 2015 when the UMWA employees ceased performing work for the subsidiary. PacifiCorp recorded its estimate of the withdrawal obligation in December 2014 when withdrawal was considered probable and deferred the portion of the obligation considered probable of recovery to a regulatory asset. PacifiCorp has subsequently revised its estimate due to changes in facts and circumstances for a withdrawal occurring by July 2015. As communicated in a letter received in August 2016, the plan trustees determined a withdrawal liability of $115 million. Energy West Mining Company began making installment payments in November 2016 and has the option to elect a lump sum payment to settle the withdrawal obligation. In January 2024, the withdrawal liability was recalculated by the plan's actuary to be $80 million as a result of arbitration efforts regarding the interest rate used to compute the obligation. The ultimate amount paid by Energy West Mining Company to settle the obligation is dependent on a variety of factors, including the results of ongoing efforts with the plan trustees and the recent arbitration activities.

The Local 57 Trust Fund is a joint trustee plan such that the board of trustees is represented by an equal number of trustees from PacifiCorp and the union. The Local 57 Trust Fund was established pursuant to the provisions of the Taft-Hartley Act and although formed with the ability for other employers to participate in the plan, there are no other employers that participate in this plan.

The risk of participating in multiemployer pension plans generally differs from single-employer plans in that assets are pooled such that contributions by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers and plan assets cannot revert to employers. If an employer ceases participation in the plan, the employer may be obligated to pay a withdrawal liability based on the participants' unfunded, vested benefits in the plan. If participating employers withdraw from a multiemployer plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers.

The following table presents PacifiCorp's participation in individually significant joint trustee and multiemployer pension plans for the years ended December 31 (dollars in millions):

---

---

PacifiCorp's minimum contributions to the Local 57 Trust Fund are based on the amount of wages paid to employees covered by the Local 57 Trust Fund collective bargaining agreements, subject to ERISA minimum funding requirements. The collective bargaining agreements governing the Local 57 Trust Fund expire in 2028.

<u>Defined Contribution Plan</u>

PacifiCorp's 401(k) Plan covers substantially all employees. PacifiCorp's matching contributions are based on each participant's level of contribution and, as of January 1, 2024, all participants receive contributions based on eligible pre-tax annual compensation. Contributions cannot exceed the maximum allowable for tax purposes. PacifiCorp's contributions to the 401(k) Plan were $60 million, $55 million and $48 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

**(11)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Asset Retirement Obligations**

PacifiCorp estimates its ARO liabilities based upon detailed engineering calculations of the amount and timing of the future cash spending for a third party to perform the required work. Spending estimates are escalated for inflation and then discounted at a credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. Changes in estimates could occur for a number of reasons, including changes in laws and regulations, plan revisions, inflation and changes in the amount and timing of the expected work.

PacifiCorp does not recognize liabilities for AROs for which the fair value cannot be reasonably estimated. Due to the indeterminate removal date, the fair value of the associated liabilities on certain transmission, distribution and other assets cannot currently be estimated, and no amounts are recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements other than those included in the cost of removal regulatory liability established via approved depreciation rates in accordance with accepted regulatory practices.

------

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of PacifiCorp's ARO liabilities for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| **Beginning balance** | $427 | $356 |

Certain of PacifiCorp's decommissioning and reclamation obligations relate to jointly owned facilities and mine sites. PacifiCorp is committed to pay a proportionate share of the decommissioning or reclamation costs. In the event of a default by any of the other joint participants, PacifiCorp may be obligated to absorb, directly or by paying additional sums to the entity, a proportionate share of the defaulting party's liability. PacifiCorp's estimated share of the decommissioning and reclamation obligations are primarily recorded as ARO liabilities.

In May 2024, the United States Environmental Protection Agency published its final rule on legacy coal combustion residuals ("CCR") surface impoundments and CCR management units ("CCRMUs") in the Federal Register. CCRMUs include CCR surface impoundments and landfills closed before October 19, 2015 and inactive CCR landfills. The final rule contains three main components: (1) a definition for legacy CCR surface impoundments, which are inactive surface impoundments at inactive generating facilities that must adhere to the same regulations as inactive CCR impoundments at active generating facilities, barring location restrictions and liner design criteria, with customized compliance deadlines; (2) groundwater monitoring, corrective action, closure, and post closure care requirements for CCRMUs, which may be located at active generating facilities and inactive generating facilities with a legacy CCR surface impoundment; and (3) the owners and operators of inactive generating facilities must identify the presence of legacy CCR surface impoundments and comply with all rule requirements for surface impoundments; and the owners and operators of active generating facilities and inactive generating facilities with a legacy CCR surface impoundment must prepare Facility Evaluation Reports ("FERs") that identify and describe the CCRMUs and determine whether closure is required. In February 2026, the EPA extended certain compliance deadlines with CCRMUs. Accordingly, and in a manner consistent with existing CCR rules, owners and operators must publish FERs on their CCR websites in two parts, within 12 months (Part 1) and 24 months (Part 2) of the final rule's effective date in February 2026. PacifiCorp is currently evaluating the final rule and does not anticipate identifying any legacy surface impoundments, but does anticipate identifying CCRMUs subject to the rule. Due to the number of site investigations warranted by this rule and the nature of engineering and other studies required at each site, PacifiCorp is unable to reasonably estimate the potential impact, which may be material, to its asset retirement obligations.

**(12)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**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.

There have been no significant changes in PacifiCorp's accounting policies related to derivatives. Refer to Notes 2 and 13 for additional information on 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 energy agreements, including contracts for purchases, sales and transportation of electricity, natural gas and coal, some of which are accounted for as derivatives, 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 December 31, 2025, PacifiCorp's 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 specific credit-risk-related contingent features totaled $145 million and $123 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, for which PacifiCorp had posted collateral of $71 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024, PacifiCorp would have been required to post $69 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.

PacifiCorp's collateral requirements associated with wholesale energy agreements could fluctuate considerably due to market price volatility; changes in credit ratings; changes in legislation or regulation or other factors; and if counterparties demand adequate assurance in the event of a material adverse change in PacifiCorp's creditworthiness.

**(13)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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 12 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 as of December 31 (in millions):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|

**(14)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Commitments and Contingencies**

*Commitments*

PacifiCorp has the following firm commitments that are not reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain commitments are with related parties. Refer to Note 21 for transactions associated with these related party contracts. Minimum payments as of December 31, 2025, are as follows (in millions):

*PPAs - Commercially Operable*

The table above reflects PPAs with expiration dates ranging from 2026 through 2052. As part of its energy resource portfolio, PacifiCorp acquires a portion of its electricity through long-term purchases and exchange agreements. PacifiCorp has many long-term PPAs primarily with solar-, wind- or hydro-powered generating facilities that are not included in the table above due to there being no minimum payments generally due to being dependent on solar, wind and stream flow conditions. These PPAs generally range from 10 to 30 years in duration, with certain of the PPAs extending through 2055. Future payments associated with these PPAs are expected to be material. Certain PPAs qualify as leases as described in Note 2 and are also excluded from the table above. Refer to Note 5 for variable lease costs associated with these lease commitments.

Included in the minimum fixed annual payments for purchased electricity above are commitments to purchase electricity from several hydroelectric systems under long-term arrangements with public utility districts. These purchases are made on a "cost-of-service" basis for a stated percentage of system output and for a like percentage of system operating expenses and debt service. These costs are included in energy costs on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. PacifiCorp is required to pay its portion of operating costs and its portion of the debt service, whether or not any electricity is produced. These arrangements accounted for less than 5% of PacifiCorp's 2025, 2024 and 2023 energy sources.

*PPAs and Energy Storage Contracts - Non-Commercially Operable*

PacifiCorp has agreements with facilities that have not achieved commercial operation, including PPAs primarily related to solar-, wind- or hydro-powered generating facilities, as well as Energy Storage agreements.

The table above reflects estimated capacity payments through 2046 for various Energy Storage agreements that are expected to reach commercial operation in 2026, and for which the accounting determination is pending.

Commitments associated with PPAs from primarily solar- and hydro-powered generating facilities are not included in the table above due to there being no minimum payments generally due to being dependent on solar and stream flow conditions. The PPAs generally range from 10 to 20 years in duration, some of which extend through 2046. Future payments associated with these PPAs are expected to be material.

To the extent these facilities do not achieve commercial operation, PacifiCorp has no obligation to the counterparties.

*Fuel Contracts*

PacifiCorp has "take or pay" coal and natural gas contracts that require minimum payments.

------

*Construction Commitments*

PacifiCorp's construction commitments included in the table above relate to firm commitments and include costs associated with certain generating plant, transmission, distribution and operations projects.

In June 2025, PacifiCorp became committed under the terms of a previously existing construction funding agreement with Idaho Power Company to support the development of the Boardman to Hemingway 300-mile, 500-kV transmission line (the "B2H Project"). Under this agreement, PacifiCorp is committed to contributing up to $460 million toward construction costs, representing PacifiCorp's share of the total estimated shared project costs of $843 million. B2H Project costs will also include costs directly incurred by PacifiCorp, a substantial portion of which have already been incurred. Refer to Note 21 for information regarding the sale leaseback transaction associated with the B2H Project.

*Transmission*

PacifiCorp has contracts for the right to transmit electricity over other entities' transmission lines to facilitate delivery to PacifiCorp's customers.

*Easements*

PacifiCorp has easements for land on which certain of its assets, primarily wind-powered generating facilities, are located.

*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*

PacifiCorp is a party to the 2016 amended Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement ("KHSA"), which addressed disputes surrounding PacifiCorp's efforts to relicense the Klamath Hydroelectric Project. The KHSA established a process for PacifiCorp, the states of Oregon and California ("States") and other stakeholders to assess whether dam removal could occur consistent with the settlement's terms. For PacifiCorp, the key elements of the settlement include: (1) a contribution from PacifiCorp's Oregon and California customers capped at $200 million plus $250 million in California bond funds; (2) complete indemnification from harms associated with dam removal; (3) transfer of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") license to a third-party dam removal entity, the Klamath River Renewal Corporation ("KRRC"); and (4) ability for PacifiCorp to operate the facilities for the benefit of customers through commencement of dam removal.

In September 2016, the KRRC and PacifiCorp filed a joint application with the FERC to transfer the license for the four mainstem Klamath hydroelectric dams comprising the Lower Klamath Project (FERC Project No. 14803) from PacifiCorp to the KRRC. The KRRC filed an amended license surrender application for the Lower Klamath Project with FERC in November 2020. In November 2022, the FERC issued a license surrender order for the Lower Klamath Project, which was accepted by the KRRC and the States in December 2022, resulting in the transfer of the Lower Klamath Project dams. Although PacifiCorp no longer owned the Lower Klamath Project, PacifiCorp continued to operate the facilities under an operation and maintenance agreement with the KRRC until each facility was ready for removal. PacifiCorp's obligations under the operations and maintenance agreement terminated in January 2024, when PacifiCorp's customers no longer received generation benefits from the facilities. Removal of the Copco No. 2 facility was completed in November 2023, and removal of the remaining three dams (J.C. Boyle, Copco No. 1, and Iron Gate) was completed in October 2024. 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. As a result, PacifiCorp provided supplemental funding to the KRRC of approximately $11 million in October 2024 and approximately $2 million in July 2025, and expects to provide the remaining $2 million in 2026.

------

*Hydroelectric Commitments*

Certain of PacifiCorp's hydroelectric licenses and settlement agreements contain requirements for PacifiCorp to make certain capital and operating expenditures related to its hydroelectric facilities, which are estimated to be approximately $278 million over the next 10 years.

*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 also 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. On February 20, 2026, the United States Attorney for the District of Oregon and the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of California approved a settlement agreement for $575 million between PacifiCorp and the United States of America resolving all known federal government complaints and demands associated with the Wildfires, including those associated with the 242, Archie Creek, Echo Mountain Complex, McKinney, Slater and South Obenchain fires. In accordance with the settlement agreement, PacifiCorp will pay the $575 million within 10 calendar days of the February 20, 2026, effective date. PacifiCorp is actively cooperating with the Oregon Department of Justice on resolving the alleged claims.

Amounts sought in outstanding complaints and demands filed in Oregon and in certain demands made in California totaled approximately $50 billion, excluding any doubling or trebling of damages or punitive damages included in the complaints, and of which approximately $48 billion represents the economic and noneconomic damages sought in the *James* mass complaints described below, as amended. 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. Generally, the complaints filed in California do not specify damages sought and are excluded from this amount. 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. However, plaintiffs included in the *James* mass complaints are required to amend their complaints to align the economic damages to the facts specific to their complaints rather than the common per plaintiff damages specified in the originally filed mass complaints. Refer to "*James* Trial Activity" below for information regarding damages awarded to date in the *James* case.

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, losses have been and will likely continue to be incurred associated with the Wildfires. Final determinations of liability will only be made following the completion of comprehensive investigations, which may be or have been performed by various entities, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service ("USFS"), the California Public Utilities Commission, the Oregon Department of Forestry ("ODF") and the Oregon Department of Justice, as well as litigation or similar processes, the outcome of which, if adverse, could, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on PacifiCorp's financial condition.

*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 USFS report for the Archie Creek fire 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 USFS report for the Slater fire also 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. Additionally, PacifiCorp has settled all wrongful death claims and all federal government demands and complaints associated with the 2020 Wildfires.

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 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. 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 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. Since filing of the original class action complaint, numerous James class members have been named and damages specified in various complaints as described below. Additionally, numerous cases were consolidated into the original *James* complaint.

------

As of December 2025, various mass complaints against PacifiCorp naming 1,760 class members have been filed referencing the *James* case as the lead case with complaints for some of the plaintiffs subsequently dismissed. These *James* mass complaints make damages-only allegations with substantially all plaintiffs individually seeking $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, as well as doubling of economic damages. As described below under "*James* Court Activity," plaintiffs included in the mass complaints are required to amend their complaints to align the economic damages to the facts specific to their complaints.

An additional approximately 1,500 plaintiffs were granted the ability not to be represented by *James* lead counsel, a small portion of which filed complaints seeking damages similar to those in the mass complaints. In November 2025, PacifiCorp settled with approximately 1,400 of these plaintiffs for $150 million.

As a result of dismissals for the mass complaints and the November 2025 settlement, James complaints for approximately 1,700 individual plaintiffs remain outstanding, substantially all of which are represented by lead counsel. PacifiCorp believes the magnitude of damages sought by the class members in the *James* mass complaints to be of remote likelihood of being awarded based on the amounts awarded in the jury verdicts described below under "*James* Trial Activity" that are being appealed.

*<u>James</u>* <u>Trial Activity</u>

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. The jury awarded economic and noneconomic damages. After the jury verdict, the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon doubled the economic damages, in accordance with Oregon law, and added punitive damages by applying a 0.25 multiplier to the awarded economic and noneconomic damages. 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. In January 2024, PacifiCorp filed a notice of appeal associated with the June 2023 verdict, including whether the case can proceed as a class action.

Subsequent to the June 2023 *James* verdict, numerous damages phase trials were held with separate jury verdicts issued and damages awarded for each on a basis consistent with the initial trial and relying on the liability determination in the June 2023 *James* verdict. PacifiCorp amended its January 2024 appeal of the June 2023 *James* verdict to include the jury verdicts for the first two damages phase trials. PacifiCorp has filed notices of appeal for the subsequent jury verdicts in the damages phase trials once limited judgments are entered and any post-trial motions filed. Refer to "*James* Court Activity" below regarding the filing of PacifiCorp's appellate briefs. The appeals process and further actions could take several years.

(1)For jury verdicts where the limited judgment has not yet been entered, the doubling of economic damages and the application of punitive damages are estimates.

(2)For jury verdicts where limited judgment has been entered, the court offset the awards by the amount of insurance proceeds received by any of the plaintiffs. For jury verdicts where the limited judgment has not yet been entered, the insurance offset is an estimate.

(3)For each limited judgment entered in the court, PacifiCorp has posted or expects to post 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. The supersedeas bond posted for the June 2023 *James* verdict covers three years of post-judgment interest while amounts posted for the subsequent verdicts cover two years of post-judgment interest.

Through February 2026, jury verdict awards averaged approximately $7 million per plaintiff, including insurance offset. Additional damages phase trials are scheduled to occur through 2028 as described below.

*<u>James</u>* <u>Court Activity</u>

In April 2025, PacifiCorp filed its appellate brief with the Oregon Court of Appeals in connection with its appeal of the June 2023 *James* verdict and the January and March 2024 *James* damages phase trial verdicts. In the appellate 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 appellate brief. Various parties who are not party to the *James* case filed supportive amicus briefs with the court. Plaintiffs filed their combined answering and cross-appeal brief on August 21, 2025, after plaintiffs requested three delays from the Oregon Court of Appeals. PacifiCorp has filed additional appellate briefs and will continue to file individual appellate briefs in connection with appeals of each of the verdicts for additional *James* damages phase trials.

In November 2025, the Oregon Court of Appeals issued an order for expedited oral argument in response to PacifiCorp's October 2025 request to facilitate a more prompt decision from the court. As a result of the order, oral argument for the appeal was held on February 4, 2026.

Subsequent to the first two damages phase trials, nine damages phase trials were scheduled to be held in 2025 in accordance with the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon's October 2024 case management order, adjudicating the damages of approximately 10 plaintiffs per trial. In March 2025, PacifiCorp filed a motion to stay the additional damages phase trials scheduled under the October 2024 case management order in consideration of the ODF's Report, but the motion was denied in April 2025. Refer to "*James* Trial Activity" above for information regarding the damages phase trials held in 2025.

In July 2025, the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon issued Case Management Order No. 11 ("CMO No. 11") in response to the May 2025 hearing that was held to evaluate the scheduling of additional damages phase trials. As ordered, CMO No. 11 proposes to schedule dozens of trials in 2026 and over 100 more in 2027 and 2028. Currently, approximately 1,500 plaintiffs are scheduled for trial under CMO No. 11, including substantially all of those included in the mass complaints described above and reflecting the impacts of settlements and dismissals. CMO No. 11 requires plaintiffs included in the mass complaints to amend their complaints alleging the specific facts that support their claims for economic damages within 180 days before the start of their respective trials. Additionally, CMO No. 11 requires mediation every other month.

In August 2025, PacifiCorp filed a motion with the Oregon Court of Appeals to stay the *James* damages phase trials addressed in CMO No. 11. In September 2025, the Appellate Commissioner of the Oregon Court of Appeals denied PacifiCorp's motion to stay, to which PacifiCorp filed a request for reconsideration of the stay denial with the Chief Judge of the Oregon Court of Appeals. In October 2025, the Oregon Court of Appeals issued an order denying PacifiCorp's request for reconsideration. In November 2025, PacifiCorp petitioned the Oregon Supreme Court to review the Oregon Court of Appeals' decisions. In December 2025, plaintiffs' counsel filed their opposition to the petition, and a decision is expected in 2026.

<u>Potential Effects of</u> *<u>James</u>* <u>CMO No. 11</u>

To stay payment of damages awarded by the limited judgments while on appeal, PacifiCorp is required to bond the judgments. As of the date of this filing, PacifiCorp has posted bonds totaling $606 million associated with the limited judgments entered to date for 109 plaintiffs. These bonding requirements will continue to apply to future judgments associated with the CMO No. 11 trials. As noted above, CMO No. 11 proposes to schedule dozens of trials in 2026 and over 100 more in 2027 and 2028, with trials currently scheduled for approximately 1,500 plaintiffs. Each trial is subject to and dependent on judicial resources and availability, which will be determined six weeks before each trial. The CMO No. 11 proposed schedule is likely to put significant strain on the Multnomah County Circuit Court system, and PacifiCorp believes this may challenge the court's ability to fulfill the schedule in CMO No. 11.

PacifiCorp's liquidity has been materially impacted and its credit ratings have been downgraded as a result of the litigation risk and estimated losses recorded to date associated with the Wildfires. Due to the volume of *James* damages phase trials scheduled under CMO No. 11 combined with the requirement to bond judgments for each verdict to stay payment of damages during the appeals process, PacifiCorp may be unable to obtain the necessary funding to meet its liquidity needs.

------

While bonding of judgments awarded in *James* verdicts to date have been supported by surety bonds, they can also be supported by posting letters of credit or cash. If the trial schedule and caseload progress as proposed in CMO No. 11 and the future limited judgments follow current trends, damages awarded in additional *James* jury verdicts could exceed PacifiCorp's available surety bond and letter of credit capacity, requiring cash bonding thereafter. PacifiCorp expects additional debt financings, including potential borrowings under its $2.0 billion credit facility to the extent available, or other sources of funding will be needed to provide liquidity to post cash for judgments. These bonding requirements could weaken PacifiCorp's credit metrics. Any further credit rating downgrade may result in the loss of surety bond and letter of credit capacity, trigger cash collateral calls for surety bonds posted and trigger cash collateral calls or other forms of security for wholesale energy agreements that contain credit risk-related contingent features or rights to demand adequate assurance in the event of a material adverse change in PacifiCorp's creditworthiness. Additionally, a downgrade of PacifiCorp's senior secured debt below investment grade would require new regulatory applications and approvals due to certain authorizations or exemptions currently in place with certain regulatory commissions for the issuance of securities. PacifiCorp may also be subject to borrowing limitations under its long-term debt covenants.

In the event of a downgrade below investment grade, PacifiCorp may be unable to secure sufficient debt financings or alternative funding sources to support ongoing operations, including the ability to absorb wholesale power volatility, pay suppliers and meet debt obligations, and such liquidity issues may impact transmission and generation development, purchasing power in the market, building and upgrading substations, connecting new customers, addressing outages and maintaining system resilience. Investors in PacifiCorp's first mortgage bonds may be unable to hold existing bonds or to invest in new bonds, and perceived risks associated with the Wildfires may limit PacifiCorp's ability to attract investors. At a minimum, the cost of any short- or long-term financing is expected to be higher as a result of the wildfire litigation risks and decline in PacifiCorp's credit ratings.

Litigation is inherently difficult to predict, and its potential financial impacts are therefore based on assumptions that will change. Furthermore, there may be judicial decisions and other events or circumstances that could improve or worsen the challenges PacifiCorp faces. PacifiCorp believes it will have sufficient liquidity to cover its operations and obligations beyond a year.

*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. Settlements have been reached with substantially all individual plaintiffs, timber companies and insurance subrogation plaintiffs in the 2022 McKinney Fire. Additionally, PacifiCorp has settled all wrongful death claims associated with the 2022 McKinney Fire and has settled with the federal government as described above.

*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) cause and origin investigations; (ii) ongoing settlement and mediation activities; (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 $2,853 million through December 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 December 31, 2025, PacifiCorp paid $1,692 million in settlements associated with the Wildfires, $53 million of which occurred in 2022. As a result of the settlements, various trials have been cancelled. In January and February 2026, 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 for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| **Beginning balance** | $1536 | $1723 | $424 |
| Accrued losses | 100 | 346 | 1930 |
| Payments | (475) | (533) | (631) |
| **Ending balance** | $1161 | $1536 | $1723 |

---

As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, $734 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 December 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 December 31, 2025, and 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 for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| **Beginning balance** | $98 | $499 | $246 |
| Accruals |  |  | 253 |
| Payments received | (98) | (401) |  |
| **Ending balance** | $— | $98 | $499 |

---

As of December 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.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, PacifiCorp recognized probable losses net of expected insurance recoveries associated with the Wildfires of $100 million, $346 million and $1,677 million, respectively.

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, 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.

**(16)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Preferred Stock**

As of December 31, 2025, PacifiCorp had 350 shares of Serial Preferred Stock authorized at the stated value of $1,000,000 per share, and 16 million shares of Preferred Stock authorized. There are no shares of PacifiCorp Serial Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock issued or outstanding.

As of December 31, 2024, PacifiCorp had 3,500 thousand shares of Serial Preferred Stock authorized at the stated value of $100 per share. PacifiCorp had 24 thousand shares of such Serial Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2024. The outstanding preferred stock series were non-redeemable and had annual dividend rates of 6.00% and 7.00%.

In the event of voluntary liquidation, all preferred stock was entitled to stated value or a specified preference amount per share plus accrued dividends. Upon involuntary liquidation, all preferred stock was entitled to stated value plus accrued dividends. Dividends on all preferred stock were cumulative. Holders also had the right to elect members to the PacifiCorp Board of Directors in the event dividends payable are in default in an amount equal to four full quarterly payments.

As of December 31, 2024, PacifiCorp had 16 million shares of Preferred Stock authorized, but no shares were issued or outstanding.

On February 10, 2025, PacifiCorp effected a one-for-ten thousand reverse stock split ("Reverse Stock Split") of its Serial Preferred Stock.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 10,000 shares of each of PacifiCorp's pre-reverse split Serial Preferred Stock were combined and reclassified into one share of Serial Preferred Stock, with a corresponding reduction in the number of authorized shares of Serial Preferred Stock from 3,500 thousand to 350 and change to stated value of $100 to $1,000,000 per share. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split and shareholders who would have otherwise held a fractional share of Serial Preferred Stock received payment in cash. As a result, all issued and outstanding shares of PacifiCorp's preferred stock as of February 10, 2025, were held by PPW Holdings LLC.

On April 23, 2025, PacifiCorp repurchased the sole outstanding share of its 7.00% Serial Preferred Stock from PPW Holdings LLC, for a purchase price of $1,800,000.

------

**(17)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Common Shareholder's Equity**

Through PPW Holdings LLC, BHE is the sole shareholder of PacifiCorp's common stock. The state regulatory orders that authorized BHE's acquisition of PacifiCorp contain restrictions on PacifiCorp's ability to pay dividends to the extent that they would reduce PacifiCorp's common equity below specified percentages of defined capitalization. As of December 31, 2025, the most restrictive of these commitments prohibits PacifiCorp from making any distribution to PPW Holdings LLC or BHE without prior state regulatory approval to the extent that it would reduce PacifiCorp's common equity below 44.00% of its total capitalization, excluding short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt. As of December 31, 2025, PacifiCorp's actual common equity percentage, as calculated under this measure, was 44.27%. BHE has indicated that it will suspend dividends for the next several years.

Certain of these commitments also indirectly limit PacifiCorp's capital structure by requiring the consolidated equity of PPW Holdings LLC to be no less than 44.00% of total consolidated PPW Holdings LLC capitalization, excluding short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt. As of December 31, 2025, consolidated PPW Holdings LLC equity exceeded the threshold.

These commitments also restrict PacifiCorp from making any distributions to either PPW Holdings LLC or BHE if PacifiCorp's senior unsecured debt rating is BBB- or lower by Standard & Poor's Rating Services and Baa3 or lower by Moody's Investor Service. As of December 31, 2025, PacifiCorp met this minimum required senior unsecured debt rating commitment.

PacifiCorp is also subject to a maximum debt-to-total capitalization percentage under various financing agreements as further discussed in Note 7.

**(18)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Components of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, Net**

Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net consists of unrecognized amounts on retirement benefits, net of tax, of $10 million and $9 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**(19)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Variable Interest Entities**

PacifiCorp holds a 66.67% interest in Bridger Coal Company ("Bridger Coal"), which supplies coal to the Jim Bridger generating facility that is owned 66.67% by PacifiCorp and 33.33% by PacifiCorp's joint venture partner in Bridger Coal. PacifiCorp purchases 66.67% of the coal produced by Bridger Coal, while the joint venture partner purchases the remaining 33.33% of the coal produced. The power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Bridger Coal's economic performance are shared with the joint venture partner. Each joint venture partner is jointly and severally liable for the obligations of Bridger Coal. Bridger Coal's necessary working capital to carry out its mining operations is financed by contributions from PacifiCorp and its joint venture partner. PacifiCorp's equity investment in Bridger Coal was $34 million and $42 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Refer to Note 21 for information regarding related party transactions with Bridger Coal.

PacifiCorp transacts with its equity investees, Bridger Coal and Trapper Mining Inc. Services provided by equity investees to PacifiCorp primarily relate to coal purchases. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, coal purchases from PacifiCorp's equity investees totaled $122 million, $132 million and $139 million, respectively. Payables to PacifiCorp's equity investees were $32 million and $36 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

In November 2025, PacifiCorp executed a Master Purchase and Sale Agreement, Project Schedule to Master Purchase and Sale Agreement and Master Lease Agreement (collectively, the "B2H Agreements") with BHE B2H, LLC ("BHE B2H"), a newly created wholly owned subsidiary of BHE. The B2H Agreements provide for sale and leaseback of the B2H Project that is currently under construction with joint owner Idaho Power Company. The B2H Project is expected to be placed into service by the end of 2027, at which time the sale and leaseback of the B2H Project between PacifiCorp and BHE B2H will occur. The aggregate purchase price paid by BHE B2H to PacifiCorp under the Agreements will be equal to PacifiCorp's total investment in the B2H Project and the lease term is set for 20 years with early purchase options by PacifiCorp available every five years at net book value beginning from the closing date of the proposed transactions. The sale leaseback of the B2H Project is subject to approvals by the FERC and the OPUC. Refer to Note 14 for information regarding construction commitments associated with the B2H Project.

**(22)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Subsequent Events**

On February 15, 2026, PacifiCorp and Portland General Electric Company and an affiliate of Portland General Electric Company (together, the "PGE Entities") entered into an Asset Purchase and Service Area Transfer Agreement (the "Sale Agreement") to sell to the PGE Entities certain PacifiCorp assets and liabilities associated with PacifiCorp's Washington operations for a sales price of $1.9 billion in cash plus additional cash consideration for the value of specified assets delivered at closing, subject to customary purchase price adjustments (the "Transaction").

The Transaction assets and liabilities are associated with PacifiCorp's retail service area in Washington and include certain related distribution assets and infrastructure, as well as PacifiCorp's Chehalis combined cycle natural gas-fueled generating facility located in Chehalis, Washington, Goodnoe Hills wind-powered generating facility located in Goldendale, Washington, and Marengo wind-powered generating facility located in Dayton, Washington.

------

The Transaction has been approved by PacifiCorp's board of directors but is subject to customary closing conditions including (i) the expiration or termination of the waiting period and other required approvals under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and (ii) the receipt of all necessary approvals, waivers and rulings from the FERC and each of PacifiCorp's six state public utility commissions. The Transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027.

The Sale Agreement contains certain termination rights, including if the Transaction is not consummated by August 15, 2027, (subject to a six month extension to the extent certain regulatory approvals have not been received as of such date), and provides that upon termination of the Sale Agreement under certain specified circumstances, the terminating party would be required to pay the other party a termination fee of $35 million.

As a result of the Transaction, PacifiCorp expects that the associated assets and liabilities will be presented as assets held for sale in its first quarter 2026 Form 10-Q. As the Transaction is not expected to have major impact on PacifiCorp's operations or financial results particularly due to the scale of PacifiCorp's Washington operations and retail service territory relative to its overall operations and retail service territory, PacifiCorp does not expect to present the effects of the Transaction as a discontinued operation.

PacifiCorp believes the carrying value of the assets and liabilities are less than fair value and therefore does not expect to record a loss as a result of the Transaction. PacifiCorp expects to continue to depreciate the property, plant and equipment included in the Transaction as it will continue to operate and serve PacifiCorp's customers through closing of the Transaction and the costs to operate such property, plant and equipment will continue to be recovered in PacifiCorp's retail rates. Certain regulatory asset, regulatory liability, asset retirement obligation and deferred income tax balances will also be impacted by the Transaction.

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 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and MidAmerican Energy's historical Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements each in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. MidAmerican Funding's and MidAmerican Energy's actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.

**Results of Operations** 

<u>Overview</u>

MidAmerican Energy -

MidAmerican Energy's net income for 2025 was $1,061 million, an increase of $58 million, or 6%, compared to 2024 primarily due to higher electric utility margin, higher allowances for equity and borrowed funds used during construction, lower interest expense and higher natural gas utility margin. These items were partially offset by an unfavorable income tax benefit, higher operations and maintenance expense, higher depreciation and amortization expense, higher property and other taxes, lower interest income and unfavorable changes in the cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance policies. Utility margin increased primarily due to higher wholesale margin, higher electric retail customer usage and the favorable impact of weather, partially offset by unfavorable price impacts from changes in sales mix, lower recoveries through bill riders, lower wind-turbine performance settlements and lower natural gas base rates. Electric retail customer volumes increased 10% primarily due to higher customer usage for certain industrial customers and the favorable impact of weather. Wholesale electricity sales volumes increased 6% due to favorable market conditions. Increased total electric sales of 8% coupled with lower renewable-powered generation from lower wind and lower natural gas generation from higher average fuel costs resulted in increased coal-fueled generation and energy purchased volumes. Natural gas retail customer volumes increased 11% due to the favorable impact of weather.

MidAmerican Energy's net income for 2024 was $1,003 million, an increase of $21 million, or 2%, compared to 2023 primarily due to a favorable income tax benefit, higher natural gas utility margin, higher interest income, higher allowances for equity and borrowed funds used during construction and favorable changes in the cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance policies. These items were partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense, higher interest expense, higher operations and maintenance expense, lower electric utility margin and higher property and other taxes. Utility margin increased primarily due to higher natural gas base rates and higher electric retail customer usage, partially offset by lower wholesale margin and the unfavorable impact of weather. Electric retail customer volumes increased 1.2% primarily due to higher customer usage for certain industrial customers, partially offset by lower customer usage for commercial and residential customers and the unfavorable impact of weather. Wholesale electricity sales volumes decreased 5% due to unfavorable market conditions. Energy generated increased 2% primarily due to 7% higher renewable-powered generation, partially offset by 13% lower coal-fueled generation. Energy purchased volumes decreased 23% primarily due to the increase in energy generated and decreased total sales of 1%. Natural gas retail customer volumes decreased 5% due to the unfavorable impact of weather.

MidAmerican Funding -

MidAmerican Funding's net income for 2025 was $1,048 million, an increase of $57 million, or 6%, compared to 2024. MidAmerican Funding's net income for 2024 was $991 million, an increase of $11 million, or 1%, compared to 2023. The increases were primarily due to the changes in MidAmerican Energy's earnings discussed above and a one-time gain on the sale of an investment of $10 million in 2023.

<u>Non-GAAP Financial Measure</u>

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 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 directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation of utility margin to operating income for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

<u>Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2024</u> 

MidAmerican Energy -

*Electric utility margin* increased $257 million, or 12%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $136 million increase in wholesale utility margin, driven by a $124 million increase in margin per unit reflecting higher market prices, and $12 million, or 5.8%, increase in sales volumes; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $121 million increase in retail utility margin primarily due to $133 million from higher customer usage, $56 million from higher recoveries through bill riders (offset in income tax benefit), and $17 million from the favorable impact of weather, partially offset by $66 million of lower recoveries through bill riders (partially offset in operations and maintenance expense), $12 million due to price impacts from changes in sales mix and $7 million of lower wind-turbine performance settlements from higher wind plant availability. Retail customer volumes increased 9.6%.

*Natural gas utility margin* increased $7 million, or 2%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $10 million increase due to the favorable impact of weather; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $2 million increase from higher natural gas transportation margin; partially offset by

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $5 million decrease from lower base rates.

*Operations and maintenance* increased $54 million, or 6%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher other power generation costs of $23 million, higher electric distribution costs of $12 million, higher gas distribution costs of $10 million, higher steam generation costs of $10 million, and higher transmission costs from MISO of $9 million, partially offset by lower administrative and other costs of $11 million.

------

*Depreciation and amortization* increased $30 million, or 3%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to $32 million related to new and repowered wind-powered generating facilities and other plant placed in-service and $29 million from a regulatory mechanism that provides customers the retail energy benefits of certain wind-powered generation projects, partially offset by $31 million from lower Iowa revenue sharing accruals.

*Property and other taxes* increased $10 million, or 6%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher wind turbine property taxes and higher replacement taxes.

*Interest expense* decreased $12 million, or 3%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to lower average outstanding long-term debt balances.

*Allowance for borrowed and equity funds* increased $20 million, or 22%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher construction work-in-progress balances related to wind- and solar-powered generation projects.

*Other, net* decreased $17 million, or 20%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to lower interest income and lower cash surrender values of corporate-owned life insurance policies.

*Income tax benefit* decreased $123 million, or 15%, for 2025 compared to 2024. The effective tax rate was (208)% and (512)% for 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $123 million decrease was primarily due to lower PTCs of $47 million, higher pre-tax income and lower benefit from the effects of ratemaking.

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 prescribed per-kilowatt rate pursuant to the applicable federal income tax law. Qualifying generating facilities are eligible for the credits for 10 years from the date the facilities are placed in-service. Beginning in late 2014, some of MidAmerican Energy's wind-powered generating facilities surpassed the 10-year eligibility period for earning the credits. Most of those facilities have since been repowered, and under IRS rules, qualifying repowered facilities are eligible for the available credits, for 10 years from the date they are returned to service. Refer to "Capital Expenditures" in Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information about repowering and new wind- and solar-powered generation placed in-service.

Additionally, beginning in 2024, MidAmerican Energy's ownership of the Quad Cities Station qualifies for federal nuclear PTCs which provide a tax credit for qualifying production volumes subject to a phase-out based on annual gross receipts. Both the amount of the PTC and the gross receipt thresholds adjust annually for inflation over the duration of the program.

MidAmerican Funding -

*Income tax benefit* for MidAmerican Funding decreased $122 million, or 14%, for 2025 compared to 2024. The effective tax rate was (220)% for 2025 and (570)% for 2024. The $122 million decrease was primarily due to the factors discussed for MidAmerican Energy.

*Electric utility margin* decreased $18 million, or 1%, for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $33 million decrease in wholesale utility margin due to lower margin per unit of $19 million, reflecting lower market prices, and lower volumes of $14 million or 5.3%; partially offset by

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $16 million increase in retail utility margin primarily due to $42 million from higher recoveries through bill riders (partially offset in operations and maintenance expense) and $24 million from higher customer usage, partially offset by $42 million of lower recoveries through bill riders (offset in income tax benefit) and $12 million from the unfavorable impact of weather. Retail customer volumes increased 1.2%.

*Natural gas utility margin* increased $29 million, or 11%, for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $32 million increase from higher base rates; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $5 million increase from higher natural gas transportation margin; partially offset by

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $8 million decrease due to the unfavorable impact of weather.

------

*Operations and maintenance* increased $28 million, or 3%, for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to higher electric distribution costs of $19 million, higher transmission costs from MISO of $9 million and higher energy efficiency costs of $8 million, partially offset by lower nuclear power generation costs of $8 million.

*Depreciation and amortization* increased $93 million, or 10%, for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to $56 million related to new and repowered wind-powered generating facilities and other plant placed in-service, $52 million from higher Iowa revenue sharing accruals and $5 million from a regulatory mechanism that provides customers the retail energy benefits of certain wind-powered generation projects, partially offset by $19 million from the write-off of certain assets in 2023.

*Property and other taxes* increased $5 million, or 3%, for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to higher wind turbine property taxes.

*Interest expense* increased $71 million, or 21%, for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to September 2023 and January 2024 long-term debt issuances.

------

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA") was enacted, introducing substantial revisions to federal energy-related tax policy. Among its provisions, the OBBBA accelerates the phase-out of clean electricity production and investment tax credits and establishes new sourcing requirements applicable to facilities commencing construction after December 31, 2025. On July 7, 2025, a federal executive order (the "Executive Order") was issued directing the Secretary of the Treasury to promulgate new or revised guidance consistent with applicable law to ensure that policies concerning the "beginning of construction" requirements are not circumvented for wind and solar-powered generating facilities. In response, the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury issued partial guidance on September 2, 2025, through Notice 2025-42. While the guidance largely reaffirmed existing standards, it notably eliminated the five percent safe harbor method for establishing the beginning of construction for projects commencing construction on or after September 2, 2025. The OBBBA and Notice 2025-42 did not have a material impact on MidAmerican Energy's 2025 consolidated financial results.

MidAmerican Energy's future financial performance and capital expenditures related to renewable energy, storage and technology neutral projects may be affected by the combined effects of the OBBBA, the Executive Order, and broader macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including changes in international trade policies and tariff regimes. The pace of change in these areas accelerated during 2025, and uncertainty persists regarding the scope and duration of these external factors. However, MidAmerican Energy currently does not believe these items and any resulting changes to future capital project allocations will significantly impact its business in the near term.

<u>Operating Activities</u>

MidAmerican Energy's net cash flows from operating activities were $1.8 billion, $2.0 billion and $2.2 billion for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. MidAmerican Funding's net cash flows from operating activities were $1.8 billion, $2.0 billion and $2.2 billion for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cash flows from operating activities decreased for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to lower income tax receipts and higher accounts receivable balances, partially offset by higher utility margin for MidAmerican Energy's regulated electric and natural gas businesses. Cash flows from operating activities decreased for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to higher payments to vendors, lower utility margin for MidAmerican Energy's regulated electric business, higher interest payments and higher property tax payments, partially offset by higher income tax receipts, lower asset retirement obligation settlements and higher utility margin for MidAmerican Energy's regulated natural gas business.

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.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

MidAmerican Energy's net cash flows from investing activities were $(1.8) billion, $(1.7) billion and $(1.8) billion for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. MidAmerican Funding's net cash flows from investing activities were $(1.8) billion, $(1.7) billion and $(1.8) billion for 2025, 2024 and 2023, 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 primarily consist of activity within the Quad Cities Generating Station nuclear decommissioning trust and other trust investments.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

MidAmerican Energy's net cash flows from financing activities were $59 million, $(374) million and $(6) million for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. MidAmerican Funding's net cash flows from financing activities were $79 million, $(361) million and $(6) million for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, MidAmerican Energy paid $500 million, $425 million and $1,025 million, respectively, in cash dividends to its parent company, MHC Inc. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, MidAmerican Funding paid $474 million, $425 million and $1,025 million, respectively, in cash distributions to its sole member, BHE.

*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, with new authorization through April 2, 2028, filed and pending approval. MidAmerican Energy has a $1.5 billion unsecured credit facility expiring in June 2028. 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 filed with the SEC to issue an unspecified amount of long-term debt securities and preferred stock through October 2028. MidAmerican Energy has authorization from the FERC to issue, through June 30, 2027, long-term debt securities up to an aggregate of $2.1 billion and preferred stock up to an aggregate of $500 million. MidAmerican Energy has authorization from the ICC through April 24, 2028, to issue long-term debt securities up to an aggregate of $2.75 billion and preferred stock up to an aggregate of $500 million.

MidAmerican Energy's mortgage dated September 9, 2013, creates a lien on most of MidAmerican Energy's electric utility property within the state of Iowa, allowing the issuance of bonds based on a percentage of eligible utility property additions, bond credits arising from retirement of previously outstanding bonds or deposits of cash. As of December 31, 2025, MidAmerican Energy estimated it would be able to issue up to $9.2 billion of new first mortgage bonds under the mortgage. Any issuances are subject to market conditions, and amounts are further limited by regulatory authorizations and commitments, as well as any more restrictive requirements of covenants and tests contained in other financing agreements. MidAmerican Energy also has the ability to release property from the lien of the mortgage on the basis of property additions, bond credits or deposits of cash.

MidAmerican Funding or one of its subsidiaries, including MidAmerican Energy, may from time to time seek to acquire its outstanding debt securities through cash purchases in the open market, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Any debt securities repurchased by MidAmerican Funding or one of its subsidiaries may be reissued or resold by MidAmerican Funding or one of its subsidiaries from time to time and will depend on prevailing market conditions, the issuing company's liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

<u>Future Uses of Cash</u>

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 customers' rates; changes in environmental and other rules and regulations; the impact of U.S. federal executive orders; 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, for the years ended December 31 are as follows (in millions):

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Historical** | **Historical** | **Historical** | **Forecast** | **Forecast** | **Forecast** |

---

MidAmerican Energy's capital expenditures provided above consist of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Wind generation includes the construction, acquisition, repowering and operation of wind-powered generating facilities in Iowa. Growth expenditures include spending for the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Construction of wind-powered generating facilities totaled $233 million for 2025, $127 million for 2024 and $608 million for 2023. MidAmerican Energy placed in-service 214 MWs and 200 MWs of new wind-powered generation in 2025 and 2023, respectively. Planned spending for the construction of additional wind-powered generating facilities totals $239 million for 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Repowering of wind-powered generating facilities totaled $346 million for 2025, $307 million for 2024 and $47 million for 2023. Planned spending for repowering totals $700 million and $815 million in 2026 and 2027, respectively. MidAmerican Energy expects its repowered facilities to meet IRS 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Solar generation includes the construction and operation of solar-powered generating facilities, with total spend of $40 million in 2025, $3 million in 2024 and $13 million in 2023. Planned spending for the construction and operation of solar-powered generating facilities totals $162 million, $582 million and $873 million for 2026, 2027 and 2028, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Electric distribution includes expenditures for new facilities to meet retail demand growth and for replacement of existing facilities to maintain system reliability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Remaining expenditures primarily relate to the construction of new natural gas-powered generating facilities in Iowa, routine projects for other generation, natural gas distribution, technology, facilities and other operational needs to serve existing and expected demand.

**Material Cash Requirements**

MidAmerican Energy and MidAmerican Funding have cash requirements that may affect their financial condition that arise primarily from long- and short-term debt (refer to Notes 7 and 8), firm commitments (refer to Note 13) and construction and other development costs (refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources included within this Item 7) and AROs (refer to Note 11). Refer, where applicable, to the respective referenced note in Notes to Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

MidAmerican Energy has cash requirements relating to interest payments of $8.1 billion on long-term debt, including $413 million due in 2026. Additionally, MidAmerican Funding has cash requirements relating to interest payments on its long-term debt of $58 million, including $16 million due in 2026.

**Regulatory Matters**

MidAmerican Energy is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to the discussion contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-K for further information regarding MidAmerican Energy's general regulatory framework and 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 Item 1 of this Form 10-K for further discussion regarding environmental laws and regulations.

------

**Collateral and Contingent Features**

Debt securities of MidAmerican Energy are rated by credit rating agencies. Assigned credit ratings are based on each rating agency's assessment of MidAmerican Energy's ability to, in general, meet the obligations of its issued debt securities. The credit ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and there is no assurance that a particular credit rating will continue for any given period of time. As of December 31, 2025, MidAmerican Energy'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. As a result of the issuance of first mortgage bonds by MidAmerican Energy in September 2013, its then outstanding senior unsecured debt was equally and ratably secured with such first mortgage bonds. Refer to Note 8 of MidAmerican Energy's Notes to Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for a discussion of MidAmerican Energy's first mortgage bonds.

MidAmerican Funding and MidAmerican Energy have no credit rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity dates of its outstanding debt, and a change in ratings is not an event of default under the applicable debt instruments. MidAmerican Energy's unsecured revolving credit facilities do not require the maintenance of a minimum credit rating level in order to draw upon their availability. However, commitment fees and interest rates under the credit facilities are tied to credit ratings and increase or decrease when the ratings change. A ratings downgrade could also increase the future cost of commercial paper, short- and long-term debt issuances or new credit facilities.

In accordance with industry practice, certain wholesale agreements, including derivative contracts, contain credit support provisions that in part base MidAmerican Energy's collateral requirements on its 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," or in some cases terminate the contract, in the event of a material adverse change in MidAmerican Energy's creditworthiness. These rights can vary by contract and by counterparty. If all credit-risk-related contingent features or adequate assurance provisions for these agreements had been triggered as of December 31, 2025, MidAmerican Energy would have been required to post $124 million of additional collateral. MidAmerican Energy's collateral requirements could fluctuate considerably due to market price volatility, changes in credit ratings, changes in legislation or regulation, or other factors.

**Inflation**

Historically, overall inflation and changing prices in the economies where MidAmerican Energy operates have not had a significant impact on its financial results. MidAmerican Energy operates under cost-of-service based rate-setting structures administered by various state commissions and the FERC. Under these rate-setting structures, MidAmerican Energy is allowed to include prudent costs in its rates, including the impact of inflation. MidAmerican Energy attempts to minimize the potential impact of inflation on its operations through the use of fuel, energy and other cost adjustment clauses and bill riders, by employing prudent risk management and hedging strategies and by considering, among other areas, inflation's impact on purchases of energy, operating expenses, materials and equipment costs, contract negotiations, future capital spending programs, and long-term debt issuances. There can be no assurance that such actions will be successful.

**New Accounting Pronouncements**

For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements affecting MidAmerican Energy and MidAmerican Funding, refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

**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. The following critical accounting estimates are impacted significantly by MidAmerican Energy's methods, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with MidAmerican Energy's Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

------

*Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation*

MidAmerican Energy prepares its financial statements in accordance with authoritative guidance for regulated operations, which recognizes the economic effects of regulation. Accordingly, MidAmerican Energy defers the recognition of certain costs or income if it is probable that, through the ratemaking process, there will be a corresponding increase or decrease in future regulated rates. Regulatory assets and liabilities are established to reflect the impacts of these deferrals, which will be recognized in earnings in the periods the corresponding changes in regulated rates occur.

MidAmerican Energy continually evaluates the applicability of the guidance for regulated operations and whether its regulatory assets and liabilities are probable of inclusion in future regulated rates by considering factors such as a change in the regulator's approach to setting rates from cost-based ratemaking to another form of regulation, other regulatory actions or the impact of competition, that could limit MidAmerican Energy's ability to recover its costs. MidAmerican Energy believes its application of the guidance for regulated operations is appropriate, and its existing regulatory assets and liabilities are probable of inclusion in future regulated rates. The evaluation reflects the current political and regulatory climate at both the federal and state levels. If it becomes no longer probable that the deferred costs or income will be included in future regulated rates, the related regulatory assets and liabilities will be written off to net income, returned to customers or re-established as AOCI. Total regulatory assets were $304 million and total regulatory liabilities were $1,323 million as of December 31, 2025. Refer to Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding regulatory assets and liabilities.

*Impairment of Goodwill*

MidAmerican Funding's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025, includes goodwill from the acquisition of MHC totaling $1.3 billion. Goodwill is allocated to each reporting unit. MidAmerican Funding evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually and completed its annual review as of October 31, 2025. Additionally, no indicators of impairment were identified as of December 31, 2025. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of the reporting unit and performing goodwill impairment tests. MidAmerican Funding uses a variety of methods to estimate a reporting unit's fair value, principally discounted projected future net cash flows. Key assumptions used include, but are not limited to, the use of estimated future cash flows; multiples of earnings; and an appropriate discount rate. Estimated future cash flows are impacted by, among other factors, growth rates, changes in regulations and rates, ability to renew contracts and estimates of future commodity prices. In estimating future cash flows, MidAmerican Funding incorporates current market information, as well as historical factors.

*Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits*

MidAmerican Energy sponsors defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans that cover the majority of the employees of BHE and its domestic energy subsidiaries other than PacifiCorp and NV Energy Inc. MidAmerican Energy recognizes the funded status of its defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans on the Balance Sheets. Funded status is the fair value of plan assets minus the benefit obligation as of the measurement date. As of December 31, 2025, MidAmerican Energy recognized net assets totaling $77 million for the funded status of its defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. As of December 31, 2025, amounts not yet recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost that were included in regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities totaled $16 million and $103 million, respectively.

The expense and benefit obligations relating to these defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans are based on actuarial valuations. Inherent in these valuations are key assumptions, including, but not limited to, discount rates, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and healthcare cost trend rates. These key assumptions are reviewed annually and modified as appropriate. MidAmerican Energy believes that the key assumptions utilized in recording obligations under the plans are reasonable based on prior plan experience and current market and economic conditions. Refer to Note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for disclosures about MidAmerican Energy's defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans, including the key assumptions used to calculate the funded status and net periodic benefit cost for these plans as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

MidAmerican Energy chooses a discount rate based upon high quality debt security investment yields in effect as of the measurement date that corresponds to cash flows over the expected benefit period. The pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities increase as the discount rate is reduced.

------

In establishing its assumption as to the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, MidAmerican Energy utilizes the expected asset allocation and return assumptions for each asset class based on historical performance and forward-looking views of the financial markets. Pension and other postretirement benefits expense increases as the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets decreases. MidAmerican Energy regularly reviews its actual asset allocations and rebalances its investments to its targeted allocations when considered appropriate.

MidAmerican Energy chooses a healthcare cost trend rate that reflects the near and long-term expectations of increases in medical costs and corresponds to the expected benefit payment periods. The healthcare cost trend rate is assumed to gradually decline to 5.00% by 2035 at which point the rate of increase is assumed to remain constant.

The key assumptions used may differ materially from period to period due to changing market and economic conditions. These differences may result in a significant impact to pension and other postretirement benefits expense and funded status. If changes were to occur for the following key assumptions, the approximate effect on the Financial Statements of the total plan before allocations to affiliates would be as follows (in millions):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | | | **Other Postretirement** | **Other Postretirement** |
| | **Pension Plans** | **Pension Plans** | **Benefit Plans** | **Benefit Plans** |
| | **+0.5%** | **-0.5%** | **+0.5%** | **-0.5%** |
| **Effect on December 31, 2024 Benefit Obligations:** |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Discount rate | $(20) | $22 | $(8) | $9 |
| **Effect on 2024 Periodic Cost:** |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Discount rate | $1 | $(1) | $— | $— |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expected rate of return on plan assets | (2) | 2 | (1) | 1 |

---

A variety of factors affect the funded status of the plans, including discount rates, asset returns, plan changes and MidAmerican Energy's funding policy for each plan.

*Income Taxes*

In determining MidAmerican Funding's and MidAmerican Energy's income taxes, management is required to interpret complex income tax laws and regulations, which includes consideration of regulatory implications imposed by MidAmerican Energy's various regulatory commissions. MidAmerican Funding's and MidAmerican Energy's income tax returns are subject to continuous examinations by federal, state and local tax authorities that may give rise to different interpretations of these complex laws and regulations. Due to the nature of the examination process, it generally takes years before these examinations are completed and these matters are resolved. MidAmerican Funding and MidAmerican Energy recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Although the ultimate resolution of their federal, state and local tax examinations is uncertain, each company believes it has made adequate provisions for its income tax positions. The aggregate amount of any additional income tax liabilities that may result from these examinations is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial results. Refer to Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding income taxes.

It is probable that MidAmerican Energy will either refund to, or recover from its customers in certain state jurisdiction income tax benefits and expense related to the federal tax rate change from 35% to 21%, certain property-related basis differences, and other various differences. As of December 31, 2025, these amounts were recognized as a net regulatory asset of $9 million and will be included in regulated rates when the temporary differences reverse.

------

**Item 7A.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

MidAmerican Energy's Balance Sheets include assets and liabilities with fair values that are subject to market risks. MidAmerican Energy's significant market risks are primarily associated with commodity prices, interest rates and the extension of credit to counterparties with which it transacts. The following discussion addresses the significant market risks associated with MidAmerican Energy's business activities. MidAmerican Energy has established guidelines for credit risk management. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding MidAmerican Energy's contracts accounted for as derivatives.

<u>Commodity Price Risk</u>

MidAmerican Energy is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. MidAmerican Energy 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 regulated service territory. 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. Commodity price risk for MidAmerican Energy's regulated retail electricity and natural gas operations is significantly mitigated by the inclusion of energy costs in energy cost rider mechanisms, which permit the current recovery of such costs from its retail customers. MidAmerican Energy uses commodity derivative contracts, which may include forwards, futures, options, swaps and other agreements to mitigate price volatility on behalf of its customers. MidAmerican Energy does not engage in a material amount of proprietary trading activities.

<u>Interest Rate Risk</u>

MidAmerican Energy and MidAmerican Funding are exposed to interest rate risk on their outstanding variable-rate short- and long-term debt and future debt issuances. MidAmerican Energy and MidAmerican Funding manage interest rate risk by limiting their exposure to variable interest rates primarily through the issuance of fixed-rate long-term debt and by monitoring market changes in interest rates. As a result of the fixed interest rates, the fixed-rate long-term debt does not expose MidAmerican Energy or MidAmerican Funding to the risk of loss due to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, because fixed-rate long-term debt is not carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, changes in fair value would impact earnings and cash flows only if MidAmerican Energy or MidAmerican Funding were to reacquire all or a portion of these instruments prior to their maturity. MidAmerican Energy or MidAmerican Funding may from time to time enter into interest rate derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps or locks, to mitigate their exposure to interest rate risk. The nature and amount of their short- and long-term debt can be expected to vary from period to period as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. Refer to Notes 7, 8 and 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion of MidAmerican Energy's and MidAmerican Funding's short- and long-term debt.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, MidAmerican Energy had short- and long-term variable-rate obligations totaling $258 million and $271 million, respectively, that expose MidAmerican Energy to the risk of increased interest expense in the event of increases in short-term interest rates. The market risk related to MidAmerican Energy's variable-rate debt as of December 31, 2025, is not hedged. If variable interest rates were to increase by 10% from December 31 levels, it would not have a material effect on MidAmerican Energy's annual interest expense. The carrying value of the variable-rate obligations approximates fair value as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

<u>Credit Risk</u>

MidAmerican Energy 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. Additionally, MidAmerican Energy participates in the RTO markets and has indirect credit exposure related to other participants, although RTO credit policies are designed to limit exposure to credit losses from individual participants. Credit risk may be concentrated to the extent MidAmerican Energy's counterparties have similar economic, industry or other characteristics and due to direct or indirect relationships among the counterparties. Before entering into a transaction, MidAmerican Energy 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, MidAmerican Energy 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, MidAmerican Energy exercises rights under these arrangements, including calling on the counterparty's credit support arrangement.

------

Substantially all of MidAmerican Energy's electric wholesale sales revenue results from participation in RTOs, including the MISO and the PJM. MidAmerican Energy's share of historical losses from defaults by other RTO market participants has not been material. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025, MidAmerican Energy's aggregate direct credit exposure from electric wholesale marketing counterparties was not material.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of

MidAmerican Energy Company

Des Moines, Iowa

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican Energy") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related statements of operations, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MidAmerican Energy as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of MidAmerican Energy's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on MidAmerican Energy's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. MidAmerican Energy is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of MidAmerican Energy's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matter**

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the Board of Directors and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

**Regulatory Matters — Effects of Rate Regulation on the Financial Statements — Refer to Note 5 to the financial statements**

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

MidAmerican Energy is subject to rate regulation by state public service commissions as well as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (collectively, the "Commissions"), which have jurisdiction with respect to the rates of electric and natural gas companies in the respective service territories where MidAmerican Energy operates. Management has determined its regulated operations meet the requirements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to prepare its financial statements applying the specialized rules to account for the effects of cost-based rate regulation. Accounting for the economic effects of rate regulation has a pervasive effect on the financial statements.

------

Regulated rates are subject to regulatory rate-setting processes. Rates are determined, approved, and established based on a cost-of-service basis, which is designed to allow MidAmerican Energy an opportunity to recover its prudently incurred costs of providing services and to earn a reasonable return on its invested capital. Regulatory decisions can have an effect on the recovery of costs, the rate of return earned on investment, and the timing and amount of assets to be recovered by rates. While MidAmerican Energy has indicated it expects to recover costs from customers through regulated rates, there is a risk that changes to the Commissions' approach to setting rates or other regulatory actions could limit MidAmerican Energy's ability to recover its costs.

We identified the effects of rate regulation on the financial statements as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgments made by management to support its assertions about affected account balances and disclosures and the high degree of subjectivity involved in assessing the impact of regulatory orders on the financial statements. Management judgments include assessing the likelihood of (1) recovery in future rates of incurred costs, (2) a disallowance of part of the cost of recently completed plant or plant under construction, and (3) a refund to customers. Given that management's accounting judgments are based on assumptions about the outcome of decisions by the Commissions, auditing these judgments required specialized knowledge of accounting for rate regulation and the rate setting process due to its inherent complexities.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to the uncertainty of decisions by the Commissions included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated MidAmerican Energy's disclosures related to the effects of rate regulation by testing recorded balances and evaluating regulatory developments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We read relevant regulatory orders issued by the Commissions, regulatory statutes, filings made by MidAmerican Energy and other external information. We evaluated relevant external information and compared it to certain recorded regulatory asset and liability balances for completeness.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For certain regulatory matters, we inspected MidAmerican Energy's filings with the Commissions and the filings with the Commissions by intervenors to assess the likelihood of recovery in future rates or of a future reduction in rates based on precedents of the Commissions' treatment of similar costs under similar circumstances.

**(2)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** 

*Basis of Presentation*

The Statements of Comprehensive Income have been omitted as net income equals comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

*Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements*

The preparation of the Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, the effects of regulation; certain assumptions made in accounting for pension and other postretirement benefits; asset retirement obligations ("AROs"); income taxes; unbilled revenue; valuation of certain financial assets and liabilities, including derivative contracts; and accounting for contingencies. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the Financial Statements.

A*ccounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation*

MidAmerican Energy's utility operations are subject to the regulation of the Iowa Utilities Commission ("IUC"), the Illinois Commerce Commission ("ICC"), the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC"). MidAmerican Energy's accounting policies and the accompanying Financial Statements conform to GAAP applicable to rate-regulated enterprises and reflect the effects of the ratemaking process.

MidAmerican Energy prepares its financial statements in accordance with authoritative guidance for regulated operations, which recognizes the economic effects of regulation. Accordingly, MidAmerican Energy defers the recognition of certain costs or income if it is probable that, through the ratemaking process, there will be a corresponding increase or decrease in future regulated rates. Regulatory assets and liabilities are established to reflect the impacts of these deferrals, which will be recognized in earnings in the periods the corresponding changes in regulated rates occur. If it becomes no longer probable that the deferred costs or income will be included in future regulated rates, the related regulatory assets and liabilities will be written off to net income, returned to customers or re-established as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI").

*Fair Value Measurements*

As defined under GAAP, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability between market participants in the principal market or in the most advantageous market when no principal market exists. Adjustments to transaction prices or quoted market prices may be required in illiquid or disorderly markets in order to estimate fair value. Different valuation techniques may be appropriate under the circumstances to determine the value that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction. Market participants are assumed to be independent, knowledgeable, able and willing to transact an exchange and not under duress. Nonperformance or credit risk is considered when determining fair value. Considerable judgment may be required in interpreting market data used to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current or future market exchange.

------

*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 of December 31, 2025 and 2024 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):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **As of December 31,** | **As of December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $670 | $549 |
| Restricted cash and cash equivalents in other current assets | 6 | 6 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents | $676 | $555 |

---

*Investments*

*Fixed Maturity Securities*

MidAmerican Energy's management determines the appropriate classification of investments in fixed maturity securities at the acquisition date and reevaluates the classification at each balance sheet date. Investments that management does not intend to use or is restricted from using in current operations are presented as noncurrent on the Balance Sheets.

Available-for-sale investments are carried at fair value with realized gains and losses, as determined on a specific identification basis, recognized in earnings and unrealized gains and losses recognized in AOCI, net of tax. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturity securities in a trust related to the decommissioning of the Quad Cities Generating Station Units 1 and 2 ("Quad Cities Station") are recorded as a net regulatory liability because MidAmerican Energy expects to refund to customers any decommissioning funds in excess of costs for these activities through regulated rates. Trading investments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost, reflecting the ability and intent to hold the securities to maturity. The difference between the original cost and maturity value of a fixed maturity security is amortized to earnings using the interest method.

Investments gains and losses arise when investments are sold (as determined on a specific identification basis) or are other-than-temporarily impaired with respect to securities classified as available-for-sale. If the fair value of a fixed maturity investment declines to below amortized cost and the decline is deemed other than temporary, the amortized cost of the investment is reduced to fair value, with a corresponding charge to earnings. Any resulting impairment loss is recognized in earnings if MidAmerican Energy intends to sell, or expects to be required to sell, the debt security before its amortized cost is recovered. If MidAmerican Energy does not expect to ultimately recover the amortized cost basis even if it does not intend to sell the security, the credit loss component is recognized in earnings and any difference between fair value and the amortized cost basis, net of the credit loss, is reflected in other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI"). For regulated investments, any impairment charge is offset by the establishment of a regulatory asset to the extent recovery in regulated rates is probable.

*Equity Securities*

All changes in fair value of equity securities in a trust related to the decommissioning of the Quad Cities Station are recorded as a net regulatory liability since MidAmerican Energy expects to refund to customers any decommissioning funds in excess of costs for these activities through regulated rates.

------

*Allowance for Credit Losses*

Trade receivables are primarily short-term in nature with stated collection terms of less than one year from the date of origination and are stated at the outstanding principal amount, net of an estimated allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is based on MidAmerican Energy's assessment of the collectability of amounts owed to it by its customers. This assessment requires judgment regarding the ability of customers to pay or the outcome of any pending disputes. In measuring the allowance for credit losses for trade receivables, MidAmerican Energy primarily utilizes credit loss history. However, it may adjust the allowance for credit losses to reflect current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that deviate from historical experience. The changes in the balance of the allowance for credit losses, which is included in trade receivables, net on the Balance Sheets, is summarized as follows for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Beginning balance | $11 | $12 | $14 |
| Charged to operating costs and expenses, net | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| Write-offs, net | (11) | (9) | (10) |
| Ending balance | $8 | $11 | $12 |

---

*Derivatives*

MidAmerican Energy employs a number of different derivative contracts, including forwards, futures, options, swaps and other agreements, to manage price risk for electricity, natural gas and other commodities, and interest rate risk. Derivative contracts are recorded on the 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. Derivative balances reflect offsetting permitted under master netting agreements with counterparties and cash collateral paid or received under such agreements. Cash collateral received from or paid to counterparties to secure derivative contract assets or liabilities in excess of amounts offset is included in other current assets on the Balance Sheets.

Commodity derivatives used in normal business operations that are settled by physical delivery, among other criteria, are eligible for and may be designated as normal purchases or normal sales. Normal purchases or normal sales contracts are not marked to market, and settled amounts are recognized as operating revenue or cost of sales on the Statements of Operations.

For MidAmerican Energy's derivatives not designated as hedging contracts, the settled amount is generally included in regulated rates. Accordingly, the net unrealized gains and losses associated with interim price movements on contracts that are accounted for as derivatives and probable of inclusion in regulated rates are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities.

*Inventories*

Inventories consist mainly of materials and supplies, totaling $244 million and $249 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, coal stocks, totaling $57 million and $86 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and natural gas in storage, totaling $28 million and $29 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The cost of materials and supplies, coal stocks and fuel oil is determined using the average cost method. The cost of stored natural gas is determined using the last-in-first-out method. With respect to stored natural gas, the replacement cost would be $26 million and $18 million higher as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

*Property, Plant and Equipment, Net*

*General*

Additions to utility plant are recorded at cost. MidAmerican Energy capitalizes all construction-related material, direct labor and contract services, as well as indirect construction costs. Indirect construction costs include debt allowance for funds used during construction ("AFUDC") and equity AFUDC. The cost of additions and betterments are capitalized, while costs incurred that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the related assets are generally expensed. Additionally, MidAmerican Energy has regulatory arrangements in Iowa in which the carrying cost of certain utility plant has been reduced for amounts associated with electric returns on equity exceeding specified thresholds and retail energy benefits associated with certain wind-powered generation. Amounts expensed under these arrangements are included as a component of depreciation and amortization.

------

Depreciation and amortization for MidAmerican Energy's utility operations are computed by applying the composite or straight-line method based on either estimated useful lives or mandated recovery periods as prescribed by its various regulatory authorities. Depreciation studies are completed by MidAmerican Energy to determine the appropriate group lives, net salvage and group depreciation rates. These studies are reviewed and rates are ultimately approved by the applicable regulatory commission. Net salvage includes the estimated future residual values of the assets and any estimated removal costs recovered through approved depreciation rates. Estimated removal costs are recorded as either a cost of removal regulatory liability or an ARO liability on the Balance Sheets, depending on whether the obligation meets the requirements of an ARO. As actual removal costs are incurred, the associated liability is reduced.

Generally, when MidAmerican Energy retires or sells a component of utility plant, it charges the original cost, net of any proceeds from the disposition to accumulated depreciation. Any gain or loss on disposals of nonregulated assets is recorded through earnings.

Debt and equity AFUDC, which represent the estimated costs of debt and equity funds necessary to finance the construction of its regulated facilities, is capitalized by MidAmerican Energy as a component of utility plant, with offsetting credits to the Statements of Operations. AFUDC is computed based on guidelines set forth by the FERC. After construction is completed, MidAmerican Energy is permitted to earn a return on these costs as a component of the related assets, as well as recover these costs through depreciation expense over the useful lives of the related assets.

*Asset Retirement Obligations*

MidAmerican Energy recognizes AROs when it has a legal obligation to perform decommissioning or removal activities upon retirement of an asset. MidAmerican Energy's AROs are primarily related to decommissioning of the Quad Cities Station and obligations associated with its other generating facilities. The fair value of an ARO liability is recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset, which is then depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the ARO liability is adjusted for any revisions to the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows (with corresponding adjustments to utility plant) and for accretion of the ARO liability due to the passage of time. The difference between the ARO liability, the corresponding ARO asset included in utility plant, net and amounts recovered in rates to satisfy such liabilities is recorded as a regulatory asset or liability.

*Impairment*

MidAmerican Energy evaluates long-lived assets for impairment, including property, plant and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable or when the assets are being held for sale. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the asset is reviewed to assess whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of the asset plus the residual value from the ultimate disposal exceeds the carrying value of the asset. Additionally, when evaluating the carrying value of regulated assets, MidAmerican Energy considers the impact of regulation on recoverability. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amounts, the asset is written down to the estimated fair value and any resulting impairment loss is reflected on the Statements of Operations.

*Revenue Recognition*

MidAmerican Energy uses a single five-step model to identify and recognize revenue from contracts with customers ("Customer Revenue") upon transfer of control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which MidAmerican Energy expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. MidAmerican Energy records sales, franchise and excise taxes collected directly from customers and remitted directly to the taxing authorities on a net basis on the Statements of Operations.

A majority of MidAmerican Energy's energy revenue is derived from tariff-based sales arrangements approved by various regulatory commissions. These tariff-based revenues are mainly comprised of energy, transmission, distribution and natural gas and have performance obligations to deliver energy products and services to customers which are satisfied over time as energy is delivered or services are provided.

Revenue from electric and natural gas customers is recognized as electricity or natural gas is delivered or services are provided. Revenue recognized includes billed and unbilled amounts. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, unbilled revenue was $111 million and $109 million, respectively, and is included in trade receivables, net on the Balance Sheets.

------

The determination of customer billings is based on a systematic reading of customer meters and applicable rates. At the end of each month, amounts of energy provided to customers since the date of the last meter reading are estimated, and the corresponding unbilled revenue is recorded. Factors that can impact the estimate of unbilled revenue include, but are not limited to, seasonal weather patterns, total volumes supplied to the system, line losses and composition of customer classes. Unbilled revenue is reversed in the following month and billed revenue is recorded based on the subsequent meter readings.

All of MidAmerican Energy's regulated retail electric and natural gas sales are subject to energy adjustment clauses. MidAmerican Energy also has costs that are recovered, at least in part, through bill riders, including demand-side management and certain transmission costs. The clauses and riders allow MidAmerican Energy to adjust the amounts charged for electric and natural gas service as the related costs change. The costs recovered in revenue through use of the adjustment clauses and bill riders are charged to expense in the same year the related revenue is recognized. At any given time, these costs may be over or under collected from customers. The total under collection included in trade receivables, net at December 31, 2025, was $147 million and the total over collection included in trade receivables, net at December 31, 2024, was $16 million.

*Unamortized Debt Premiums, Discounts and Issuance Costs*

Premiums, discounts and issuance costs incurred for the issuance of long-term debt are amortized over the term of the related financing using the effective interest method.

*Income Taxes*

Berkshire Hathaway includes MidAmerican Funding and MidAmerican Energy in its consolidated U.S. federal and Iowa state income tax returns. MidAmerican Funding's and MidAmerican Energy's provisions for income taxes have been computed on a stand-alone basis.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted income tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities associated with certain property-related basis differences and other various differences that MidAmerican Energy deems probable to be passed on to its customers in most state jurisdictions are charged or credited directly to a regulatory asset or liability and will be included in regulated rates when the temporary differences reverse. Other changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities are included as a component of income tax expense. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities attributable to changes in enacted income tax rates are charged or credited to income tax expense or a regulatory asset or liability in the period of enactment. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more-likely-than-not to be realized.

Investment tax credits are deferred and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the related properties or as prescribed by various regulatory commissions.

MidAmerican Funding and MidAmerican Energy recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. MidAmerican Funding's and MidAmerican Energy's unrecognized tax benefits are primarily included in taxes accrued and other long-term liabilities on their respective Consolidated Balance Sheets. Estimated interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense (benefit) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

*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 adopted this guidance for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025, under the retrospective method. The adoption did not have a material impact on MidAmerican Energy's Financial Statements, but did expand the disclosures included within Notes to Financial Statements. Refer to Note 9 for expanded rate reconciliation disclosures and disaggregation of income taxes paid.

------

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, as clarified in ASU 2025-01, 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.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Electric | 3.1% | 3.1% | 3.3% |
| Natural gas | 3.0% | 3.0% | 2.8% |

---

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 years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, $49 million, $81 million, and $29 million, respectively, is reflected in depreciation and amortization expense on the Statements of Operations.

**(4)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Jointly Owned Utility Facilities**

Under joint facility ownership agreements with other utilities, MidAmerican Energy, as a tenant in common, has undivided interests in jointly owned generation and transmission facilities. MidAmerican Energy accounts for its proportionate share of each facility, and each joint owner has provided financing for its share of each facility. Operating costs of each facility are assigned to joint owners based on their percentage of ownership or energy production, depending on the nature of the cost. Operating expenses on the Statements of Operations include MidAmerican Energy's share of the expenses of these facilities.

Pursuant to MidAmerican Energy's mortgage dated September 9, 2013, MidAmerican Energy's first mortgage bonds, currently and from time to time outstanding, are secured by a first mortgage lien on substantially all of its electric generating, transmission and distribution property within the state of Iowa, subject to certain exceptions and permitted encumbrances. Approximately $26 billion of MidAmerican Energy's eligible property, based on original cost, was subject to the lien of the mortgage as of December 31, 2025. Additionally, MidAmerican Energy's senior notes outstanding are equally and ratably secured with the first mortgage bonds as required by the indentures under which the senior notes were issued.

MidAmerican Energy's variable-rate tax-exempt bond obligations bear interest at rates that are periodically established through remarketing of the bonds in the short-term tax-exempt market. MidAmerican Energy, at its option, may change the mode of interest calculation for these bonds by selecting from among several floating or fixed rate alternatives. The interest rates shown in the table above are the weighted average interest rates as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. MidAmerican Energy maintains revolving credit facility agreements to provide liquidity for holders of these issues. Additionally, MidAmerican Energy's obligations associated with the $30 million and $150 million variable rate, tax-exempt bond obligations due 2046 and 2047, respectively, are secured by an equal amount of first mortgage bonds pursuant to MidAmerican Energy's mortgage dated September 9, 2013, as supplemented and amended.

As of December 31, 2025, MidAmerican Energy was in compliance with all of its applicable long-term debt covenants.

In March 1999, MidAmerican Energy committed to the IUC to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain an investment grade rating on its long-term debt and to maintain its common equity level above 42% of total capitalization unless circumstances beyond its control result in the common equity level decreasing to below 39% of total capitalization. MidAmerican Energy must seek the approval from the IUC of a reasonable utility capital structure if MidAmerican Energy's common equity level decreases below 42% of total capitalization, unless the decrease is beyond the control of MidAmerican Energy. MidAmerican Energy is also required to seek the approval of the IUC if MidAmerican Energy's equity level decreases to below 39%, even if the decrease is due to circumstances beyond the control of MidAmerican Energy. As of December 31, 2025, MidAmerican Energy's common equity ratio was 54% computed on a basis consistent with its commitment. As a result of its regulatory commitment to maintain its common equity level above certain thresholds, MidAmerican Energy could dividend $4.0 billion as of December 31, 2025, without falling below 42%.

**(9)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Income Taxes**

Berkshire Hathaway includes BHE and subsidiaries in its U.S. federal income tax return and BHE includes its subsidiaries in certain 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 pursuant to a tax allocation agreement. Income before income tax expense (benefit) as reported on the Statements of Operations, is all domestic.

Energy-related 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. 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.

As of December 31, 2025, MidAmerican Energy's state tax carryforwards, principally related to $968 million of net operating losses, expire at various intervals between 2026 and 2046.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has closed or effectively settled its examination of MidAmerican Energy's income tax returns through December 31, 2013. The statute of limitations for MidAmerican Energy's income tax returns have expired for certain states through December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2013, and for other states through December 31, 2021, except for the impact of any federal audit adjustments.

As of December 31, 2025, MidAmerican Energy had unrecognized tax benefits totaling $60 million that, if recognized, would have an impact on the effective tax rate. The remaining unrecognized tax benefits relate to tax positions for which ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty as to the timing of such deductibility. Recognition of these tax benefits, other than applicable interest and penalties, would not affect MidAmerican Energy's effective income tax rate.

**(10)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Employee Benefit Plans**

<u>Defined Benefit Plan</u>

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. Benefit obligations under the plan are based on a cash balance arrangement for salaried employees and most union employees and final average pay formulas for other union employees. MidAmerican Energy also maintains noncontributory, nonqualified defined benefit supplemental executive retirement plans ("SERP") for certain active and retired participants. In 2024, the defined benefit pension plan recorded a curtailment gain of $1 million as a result of certain plan amendments. In 2023, the defined benefit pension plan recorded a settlement gain of $3 million for previously unrecognized gains and losses as a result of excess lump sum distributions over the defined threshold.

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. Under the plans, a majority of all employees of the participating companies may become eligible for these benefits if they reach retirement age. New employees are not eligible for benefits under the plans. MidAmerican Energy has been allowed to recover accrued pension and other postretirement benefit costs in its electric and gas service rates.

*Net Periodic Benefit Cost*

For purposes of calculating the expected return on pension plan assets, a market-related value is used. The market-related value of plan assets is calculated by spreading the difference between expected and actual investment returns on equity investments over a five-year period beginning after the first year in which they occur.

MidAmerican Energy bills to and is reimbursed currently for affiliates' share of the net periodic benefit costs from all plans in which such affiliates participate. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, MidAmerican Energy's share of the pension net periodic benefit cost was $(4) million, $(4) million and $(5) million, respectively. MidAmerican Energy's share of the other postretirement net periodic benefit cost in 2025, 2024 and 2023 totaled $(3) million, $1 million and $2 million, respectively.

Net periodic benefit cost for the plans of MidAmerican Energy and the aforementioned affiliates included the following components for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

The SERP has no plan assets; however, MidAmerican Energy and BHE have Rabbi trusts that hold corporate-owned life insurance and other investments to provide funding for the future cash requirements of the SERP. The cash surrender value of all of the policies included in MidAmerican Energy's Rabbi trusts, net of amounts borrowed against the cash surrender value, plus the fair market value of other Rabbi trust investments, was $171 million and $157 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These assets are not included in the plan assets in the above table, but are reflected in investments and restricted investments on the Balance Sheets.

*Contributions and Benefit Payments*

Employer contributions to the pension and other postretirement benefit plans are expected to be $7 million and $1 million, respectively, during 2026. Funding to MidAmerican Energy's qualified pension benefit plan trust is based upon the actuarially determined costs of the plan and the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Pension Protection Act of 2006, as amended. MidAmerican Energy considers contributing additional amounts from time to time in order to achieve certain funding levels specified under the Pension Protection Act of 2006, as amended. MidAmerican Energy evaluates a variety of factors, including funded status, income tax laws and regulatory requirements, in determining contributions to its other postretirement benefit plans.

Net periodic benefit costs assigned to MidAmerican Energy affiliates are reimbursed currently in accordance with its intercompany administrative services agreement. The expected benefit payments to participants in MidAmerican Energy's pension and other postretirement benefit plans for 2026 through 2030 and for the five years thereafter are summarized below (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Projected Benefit Payments** | **Projected Benefit Payments** |

(1)Refer to Note 12 for additional discussion regarding the three levels of the fair value hierarchy.

(2)Investment funds are comprised of mutual funds and collective trust funds. These funds consist of equity and debt securities of approximately 83% and 17%, respectively, for 2025 and 84% and 16%, respectively, for 2024. Additionally, these funds are invested in U.S. and international securities of approximately 100% and 0%, respectively, for 2025 and 84% and 16%, respectively, for 2024.

For level 1 investments, 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. For level 2 investments, the fair value is determined using pricing models based on observable market inputs. Shares of mutual funds not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, private equity limited partnership interests, common and commingled trust funds and investment entities are reported at fair value based on the net asset value per unit, which is used for expedience purposes. A fund's net asset value is based on the fair value of the underlying assets held by the fund less its liabilities.

<u>Defined Contribution Plan</u>

MidAmerican Energy sponsors a defined contribution plan ("401(k) plan") covering substantially all employees. MidAmerican Energy's matching contributions are based on each participant's level of contribution, and certain participants receive contributions based on eligible pretax annual compensation. Contributions cannot exceed the maximum allowable for tax purposes. Certain participants now receive enhanced benefits in the 401(k) plan and no longer accrue benefits in the noncontributory defined benefit pension plans. MidAmerican Energy's contributions to the plan were $37 million, $36 million, and $34 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

**(11)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Asset Retirement Obligations**

MidAmerican Energy estimates its ARO liabilities based upon detailed engineering calculations of the amount and timing of the future cash spending for a third party to perform the required work. Spending estimates are escalated for inflation and then discounted at a credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. Changes in estimates could occur for a number of reasons, including changes in laws and regulations, plan revisions, inflation and changes in the amount and timing of the expected work.

------

MidAmerican Energy does not recognize liabilities for AROs for which the fair value cannot be reasonably estimated. Due to the indeterminate removal date, the fair value of the associated liabilities on certain generation, transmission, distribution and other assets cannot currently be estimated, and no amounts are recognized on the Financial Statements other than those included in the cost of removal regulatory liability established via approved depreciation rates in accordance with accepted regulatory practices. These accruals totaled $488 million and $452 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The following table presents MidAmerican Energy's ARO liabilities by asset type as of December 31 (in millions):

---

Retirements in 2025 and 2024 relate to settlements of MidAmerican Energy's coal combustion residuals ARO liabilities.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulates the decommissioning of the Quad Cities Station, which includes the planning and funding for the decommissioning. In accordance with these regulations, MidAmerican Energy submits a biennial report to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission providing reasonable assurance that funds will be available to pay for its share of the Quad Cities Station decommissioning.

Certain of MidAmerican Energy's decommissioning and reclamation obligations relate to jointly owned facilities. MidAmerican Energy is committed to pay a proportionate share of the decommissioning or reclamation costs. In the event of a default by any of the other joint participants, MidAmerican Energy may be obligated to absorb, directly or by paying additional sums to the entity, a proportionate share of the defaulting party's liability. MidAmerican Energy's estimated share of the decommissioning and reclamation obligations are primarily recorded as ARO liabilities.

------

In May 2024, the United States Environmental Protection Agency published its final rule on legacy coal combustion residuals ("CCR") surface impoundments and CCR management units ("CCRMUs") in the Federal Register. CCRMUs include CCR surface impoundments and landfills closed before October 19, 2015 and inactive CCR landfills. The final rule contains three main components: (1) a definition for legacy CCR surface impoundments, which are inactive surface impoundments at inactive generating facilities that must adhere to the same regulations as inactive CCR impoundments at active generating facilities, barring location restrictions and liner design criteria, with customized compliance deadlines; (2) groundwater monitoring, corrective action, closure, and post closure care requirements for CCRMUs, which may be located at active generating facilities and inactive generating facilities with a legacy CCR surface impoundment; and (3) the owners and operators of inactive generating facilities must identify the presence of legacy CCR surface impoundments and comply with all rule requirements for surface impoundments; and the owners and operators of active generating facilities and inactive generating facilities with a legacy CCR surface impoundment must prepare Facility Evaluation Reports ("FERs") that identify and describe the CCRMUs and determine whether closure is required. In February 2026, the EPA extended certain compliance deadlines with CCRMUs. Accordingly, and in a manner consistent with existing CCR rules, owners and operators must publish FERs on their CCR websites in two parts, within 12 months (Part 1) and 24 months (Part 2) of the final rule's effective date in February 2026. MidAmerican Energy is currently evaluating the final rule and does not anticipate identifying any legacy surface impoundments, but does anticipate identifying CCRMUs subject to the rule. Due to the number of site investigations warranted by this rule and the nature of engineering and other studies required at each site, MidAmerican Energy is unable to reasonably estimate the potential impact, which may be material, to its asset retirement obligations.

**(12)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

(1)Represents netting under master netting arrangements and a net cash collateral receivable of $5 million and $3 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

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.

MidAmerican Energy's long-term debt is carried at cost on the Financial Statements. 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.

**(19)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**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 for the year ended December 31 (in millions):

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Board of Managers and Member of

MidAmerican Funding, LLC

Des Moines, Iowa

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MidAmerican Funding, LLC and subsidiaries ("MidAmerican Funding") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in member's equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MidAmerican Funding as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of MidAmerican Funding's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on MidAmerican Funding's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. MidAmerican Funding is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of MidAmerican Funding's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matter**

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the Board of Directors and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

**Regulatory Matters — Effects of Rate Regulation on the Financial Statements — Refer to Note 5 to the financial statements**

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

MidAmerican Funding is subject to rate regulation by state public service commissions as well as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (collectively, the "Commissions"), which have jurisdiction with respect to the rates of electric and natural gas companies in the respective service territories where MidAmerican Funding operates. Management has determined its regulated operations meet the requirements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to prepare its financial statements applying the specialized rules to account for the effects of cost-based rate regulation. Accounting for the economic effects of rate regulation has a pervasive effect on the financial statements.

Regulated rates are subject to regulatory rate-setting processes. Rates are determined, approved, and established based on a cost-of-service basis, which is designed to allow MidAmerican Funding an opportunity to recover its prudently incurred costs of providing services and to earn a reasonable return on its invested capital. Regulatory decisions can have an effect on the recovery of costs, the rate of return earned on investment, and the timing and amount of assets to be recovered by rates. While MidAmerican Funding has indicated it expects to recover costs from customers through regulated rates, there is a risk that changes to the Commissions' approach to setting rates or other regulatory actions could limit MidAmerican Funding's ability to recover its costs.

We identified the effects of rate regulation on the financial statements as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgments made by management to support its assertions about affected account balances and disclosures and the high degree of subjectivity involved in assessing the impact of regulatory orders on the financial statements. Management judgments include assessing the likelihood of (1) recovery in future rates of incurred costs, (2) a disallowance of part of the cost of recently completed plant or plant under construction, and (3) a refund to customers. Given that management's accounting judgments are based on assumptions about the outcome of decisions by the Commissions, auditing these judgments required specialized knowledge of accounting for rate regulation and the rate setting process due to its inherent complexities.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to the uncertainty of decisions by the Commissions included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated MidAmerican Funding's disclosures related to the effects of rate regulation by testing recorded balances and evaluating regulatory developments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We read relevant regulatory orders issued by the Commissions, regulatory statutes, filings made by MidAmerican Funding and other external information. We evaluated relevant external information and compared it to certain recorded regulatory asset and liability balances for completeness.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For certain regulatory matters, we inspected MidAmerican Funding's filings with the Commissions and the filings with the Commissions by intervenors to assess the likelihood of recovery in future rates or of a future reduction in rates based on precedents of the Commissions' treatment of similar costs under similar circumstances.

**MIDAMERICAN FUNDING, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(1)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Organization and Operations** 

MidAmerican Funding, LLC ("MidAmerican Funding") is an Iowa limited liability company with Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company ("BHE") as its sole member. BHE is a holding company based in Des Moines, Iowa that has investments in subsidiaries principally engaged in energy businesses. BHE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway"). MidAmerican Funding's direct wholly owned subsidiary is MHC Inc. ("MHC"), which constitutes substantially all of MidAmerican Funding's assets, liabilities and business activities except those related to MidAmerican Funding's long-term debt securities. MHC conducts no business other than the ownership of its subsidiaries. MHC's principal subsidiary is MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican Energy"), a public utility with electric and natural gas operations, and its direct, wholly owned nonregulated subsidiary is Midwest Capital Group, Inc. ("Midwest Capital Group").

**(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** 

In addition to the following significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2 of MidAmerican Energy's Notes to Financial Statements for significant accounting policies of MidAmerican Funding.

*Basis of Consolidation and Presentation*

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of MidAmerican Funding and its subsidiaries in which it held a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement date. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated, other than those between rate-regulated operations. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income have been omitted as net income equals comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

*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 of December 31, 2025 and 2024 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 December 31,** | **As of December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $672 | $552 |
| Restricted cash and cash equivalents in other current assets | 6 | 6 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents | $678 | $558 |

---

*Goodwill*

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired when MidAmerican Funding purchased MHC. MidAmerican Funding evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually and completed its annual review as of October 31, 2025. When evaluating goodwill for impairment, MidAmerican Funding estimates the fair value of its reporting units. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds the estimated fair value, then the identifiable assets, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities of the reporting unit are estimated at fair value as of the current testing date. The excess of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit over the current estimated fair value of net assets establishes the implied value of goodwill. The excess of the recorded goodwill over the implied goodwill value is charged to earnings as an impairment loss. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of the reporting unit and performing goodwill impairment tests. The determination of fair value incorporates significant unobservable inputs. During 2025, 2024 and 2023, MidAmerican Funding did not record any goodwill impairments.

**(7)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Short-term Debt and Credit Facilities**

Refer to Note 7 of MidAmerican Energy's Notes to Financial Statements. In addition to MidAmerican Energy's credit facilities, MHC has a $4 million unsecured credit facility, which expires in June 2026 and has a variable interest rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, plus a spread. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding under this credit facility. As of December 31, 2025, MHC was in compliance with the covenants of its credit facility.

**(8)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Long-term Debt**

Refer to Note 8 of MidAmerican Energy's Notes to Financial Statements for detail and a discussion of its long-term debt. In addition to MidAmerican Energy's annual repayments of long-term debt, MidAmerican Funding parent company has $239 million of 6.927% Senior Bonds due in 2029, with a carrying value of $240 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The MidAmerican Funding parent company bonds are the direct senior secured obligations of MidAmerican Funding and effectively rank junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of MidAmerican Funding, to the extent of the assets of these subsidiaries. MidAmerican Funding may redeem the bonds in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price equal to the sum of any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption and the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the bonds or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the bonds, discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis at the treasury yield plus 25 basis points.

MidAmerican Funding parent company long-term debt is secured by a pledge of the common stock of MHC, which is not publicly traded. In the event of any triggering event under the related debt indenture, the common stock of MHC would be available to satisfy the applicable debt obligations. Triggering events include, among other specified circumstances, (1) default on the payment of interest for 30 days or principal for three days; (2) a material default in the performance of any material covenants or obligations in the indenture continuing for a period of 90 days after written notice in accordance with the indenture; or (3) the failure generally of MidAmerican Funding or any significant subsidiary to pay its debts when due.

Subsidiaries of MidAmerican Funding must make payments on their own indebtedness before making distributions to MidAmerican Funding. Refer to Note 8 of MidAmerican Energy's Notes to Financial Statements for a discussion of utility regulatory restrictions affecting distributions from MidAmerican Energy. As a result of the utility regulatory restrictions agreed to by MidAmerican Energy in March 1999, MidAmerican Funding had restricted net assets of $7 billion as of December 31, 2025.

As of December 31, 2025, MidAmerican Funding was in compliance with all of its applicable long-term debt covenants.

------

Each of MidAmerican Funding's direct or indirect subsidiaries is organized as a legal entity separate and apart from MidAmerican Funding and its other subsidiaries. It should not be assumed that any asset of any subsidiary of MidAmerican Funding will be available to satisfy the obligations of MidAmerican Funding or any of its other subsidiaries; provided, however, that unrestricted cash or other assets which are available for distribution may, subject to applicable law and the terms of financing arrangements of such parties, be advanced, loaned, paid as dividends or otherwise distributed or contributed to MidAmerican Funding, one of its subsidiaries or affiliates thereof.

**(9)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Income Taxes**

Berkshire Hathaway includes BHE and subsidiaries in its U.S. federal income tax return and BHE includes its subsidiaries in certain state income tax returns. Consistent with established regulatory practice, MidAmerican Funding's provision for federal and state income tax have 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 pursuant to a tax allocation agreement. Income before income tax expense (benefit) as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, is all domestic.

MidAmerican Funding recognizes the full amount of the funded status for its pension and postretirement plans, and amounts attributable to MidAmerican Funding's affiliates that have not previously been recognized through income are recognized as an intercompany balance with such affiliates. MidAmerican Funding adjusts these balances when changes to the funded status of the respective plans are recognized and does not intend to settle the balances currently. Amounts receivable from affiliates attributable to the funded status of employee benefit plans totaled $73 million and $70 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Similar amounts payable to affiliates totaled $76 million and $68 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are included in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 10 for further information pertaining to pension and postretirement accounting.

The indenture pertaining to MidAmerican Funding's long-term debt restricts MidAmerican Funding from paying a distribution on its equity securities, unless after making such distribution either its debt to total capital ratio does not exceed 0.67:1.0 and its interest coverage ratio is not less than 2.2:1.0 or its senior secured long-term debt rating is at least BBB or its equivalent. MidAmerican Funding may seek a release from this restriction upon delivery to the indenture trustee of written confirmation from the ratings agencies that without this restriction MidAmerican Funding's senior secured long-term debt would be rated at least BBB+.

**(19)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**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.

**Item 7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Nevada Power's actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.

**Results of Operations**

<u>Overview</u>

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $247 million, a decrease of $102 million, or 29%, compared to 2024, primarily due to lower utility margin, higher operations and maintenance expense, increased depreciation and amortization expense, higher interest expense and unfavorable interest and dividend income. These items were partially offset by favorable income tax expense and higher capitalized interest and allowance for equity funds. Utility margin decreased primarily due to an accrual in connection with a potential customer refund arising from an ongoing regulatory proceeding, unfavorable price impacts from changes in sales mix, lower transmission and wholesale revenue and lower energy efficiency implementation revenue, partially offset by higher power purchase agreement sales and higher other retail revenue. Retail customer volumes, including distribution only service customers, decreased 3.3% primarily due to the unfavorable impact of weather and customer usage patterns, offset by an increase in the average number of customers. Energy generated decreased 3% for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to lower natural gas-fueled generation. Wholesale electricity sales volumes decreased 10% and purchased electricity volumes were consistent with 2024.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $349 million, an increase of $89 million, or 34%, compared to 2023, primarily due to higher utility margin, lower depreciation and amortization expense, higher capitalized interest and allowance for equity funds. These items were partially offset by unfavorable interest and dividend income, higher income tax expense, partially offset by increased federal income tax credits and higher interest expense. Utility margin increased primarily due to higher retail customer volumes, higher retail rates from the 2023 regulatory rate review with new rates effective January 2024 and higher power purchase agreement sales, partially offset by lower other revenue from expiring regulatory amortizations and the impact of lower regulatory amortizations approved in the 2023 regulatory rate review. Retail customer volumes, including distribution only service customers, increased 7.8% primarily due to the favorable impact of weather, higher customer usage and an increase in the average number of customers. Energy generated increased 14% for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to higher natural gas-fueled generation. Wholesale electricity sales volumes increased 102% and purchased electricity volumes increased 4%.

<u>Non-GAAP Financial Measure</u>

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.

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 for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

<u>Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2024</u> 

*Utility margin* decreased $70 million, or 6%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $46 million of lower revenue related to an accrual in connection with a potential customer refund arising from an ongoing regulatory proceeding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $28 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, decreased 3.3% primarily due to the unfavorable impacts of weather and customer usage patterns, offset by an increase in the average number of customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $5 million of lower transmission and wholesale revenue and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $4 million of lower energy efficiency implementation revenue.

The decrease in utility margin was partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $5 million of higher power purchase agreement sales from the Dry Lake renewable generation facility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $5 million of higher other retail revenue from the impact of regulatory amortizations and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $4 million of higher energy efficiency program revenue (offset in operations and maintenance expense).

*Operations and maintenance* increased $33 million, or 11%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to increased technology costs, higher plant operations and maintenance expenses, regulatory impacts from the 2025 regulatory rate review and higher insurance premiums due to additional wildfire and general excess liability coverage, partially offset by lower general and administrative costs and lower energy efficiency program costs (offset in operating revenue).

*Depreciation and amortization* increased $24 million, or 6%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher plant placed in-service, partially offset by lower amortization.

*Interest expense* increased $15 million, or 7%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher long-term debt and higher average interest rate.

*Capitalized interest and allowance for equity funds* increased $12 million, or 24%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher construction work-in-progress.

*Interest and dividend income* decreased $11 million, or 46%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to unfavorable interest income, mainly from lower carrying charges on regulatory balances.

*Income tax expense* decreased $39 million, or 68%, for 2025 compared to 2024. The effective tax rate was 7% and 14% for 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $39 million decrease was primarily due to lower pretax income, higher benefit from the effects of ratemaking and higher PTCs.

<u>Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2023</u> 

*Utility margin* increased $119 million for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $118 million of higher electric retail utility margin primarily due to higher retail customer volumes and higher retail rates from the 2023 regulatory rate review with new rates effective January 2024. Retail customer volumes, including distribution only service customers, increased 7.8% primarily due to the favorable impacts of weather, customer usage patterns and an increase in the average number of customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $13 million of higher power purchase agreement sales from the Dry Lake renewable generation facility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $7 million of higher energy efficiency program revenue (offset in operations and maintenance expense);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $4 million of higher energy efficiency implementation revenue and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $4 million of higher transmission and wholesale revenue.

The increase in utility margin was partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $14 million of lower other revenue from expiring regulatory amortizations and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $14 million of lower other retail revenue from the impact of regulatory amortizations.

------

*Operations and maintenance* decreased $1 million for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to the impact of regulatory amortizations approved in the 2023 regulatory rate review, partially offset by higher plant operations and maintenance expenses, higher energy efficiency program costs (offset in operating revenue) and higher insurance premiums due to additional wildfire and general excess liability coverage.

*Depreciation and amortization* decreased $56 million, or 13%, for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to lower regulatory amortizations, partially offset by higher amortization from an increased rate for intangible software approved in the 2023 regulatory rate review.

*Property and other taxes* increased $2 million, or 4%, for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to a decrease in the amount of abatements available, higher plant placed in-service and an increase in commerce and franchise tax from higher revenue.

*Interest expense* increased $11 million, or 6% for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to higher long-term debt and higher average interest rate.

*Capitalized interest and allowance for equity funds* increased $5 million for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to higher construction work-in-progress.

*Interest and dividend income* decreased $48 million, or 67%, for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to unfavorable interest income, mainly from carrying charges on regulatory balances.

*Other, net* was favorable by $4 million for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to lower pension expense.

*Income tax expense* increased $35 million or 159%, for 2024 compared to 2023. The effective tax rate was 14% and 8% for 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $35 million increase was primarily due to higher pretax income and lower benefit from the effects of ratemaking, partially offset by higher PTCs and ITCs.

Refer to Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion regarding Nevada Power's credit facility and letters of credit.

<u>Operating Activities</u>

Net cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $839 million and $989 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to higher payments related to fuel and energy costs, the timing of payments for operating costs, higher interest payments and decreased customer and vendor deposits, partially offset by lower income tax payments.

------

Net cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $989 million and $761 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to lower payments related to fuel and energy costs and the timing of payments for operating costs, partially offset by higher income tax payments, lower collections from customers, higher interest payments and decreased vendor deposits.

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 selected and assumptions made for each payment date.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

Net cash flows from investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $(1,207) million and $(1,099) million, respectively. The change was primarily due to increased capital expenditures and a decrease in proceeds from the sale of assets. Refer to "Future Uses of Cash" for further discussion of capital expenditures.

Net cash flows from investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $(1,099) million and $(1,309) million, respectively. The change was primarily due to decreased capital expenditures, offset by decreased proceeds from an affiliate note receivable. Refer to "Future Uses of Cash" for further discussion of capital expenditures.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

Net cash flows from financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $361 million and $115 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to higher net proceeds from the issuance of junior subordinated debt, proceeds from borrowings under credit facility and higher customer receipts from contributions in aid of construction, partially offset by higher dividends paid to NV Energy, Inc. and lower contributions from NV Energy, Inc.

Net cash flows from financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $115 million and $525 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from long-term debt, lower contributions from NV Energy, Inc. and higher dividends paid to NV Energy, Inc., partially offset by a decrease in repayments of long-term debt.

In January 2026, Nevada Power received contributions from NV Energy, Inc. of $200 million.

*Debt Authorizations*

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. Additionally, Nevada Power's ability to issue debt is primarily impacted by its financing authority from the PUCN. As of December 31, 2025, Nevada Power has financing authority from the PUCN consisting of the ability to issue long-term and short-term debt securities so long as the total amount of debt outstanding (excluding borrowings under Nevada Power's $600 million secured credit facility) does not exceed $5.5 billion and to issue common and preferred stock so long as the total amounts outstanding do not exceed $6.5 billion and $800 million, respectively, as measured at the end of each calendar quarter. Nevada Power's revolving credit facility contains a financial maintenance covenant which Nevada Power was in compliance with as of December 31, 2025. In addition, certain financing agreements contain covenants which are currently suspended as Nevada Power's senior secured and subordinated debt is rated investment grade. However, if Nevada Power's debt ratings fall below investment grade by either Moody's Investor Service or Standard & Poor's, Nevada Power would be subject to limitations under these covenants.

*General and Refunding Mortgage Securities*

To the extent Nevada Power has the ability to issue debt under the most restrictive covenants in its financing agreements and has financing authority to do so from the PUCN, Nevada Power's ability to issue secured debt is limited by the amount of bondable property or retired bonds that can be used to issue debt under Nevada Power's indenture.

Nevada Power's indenture creates a lien on substantially all of Nevada Power's properties in Nevada. As of December 31, 2025, Nevada Power had approximately $11.8 billion in bondable property, of which $6.2 billion had been pledged. Nevada Power had the capacity to issue $3.9 billion of additional general and refunding mortgage securities as of December 31, 2025, determined on the basis of 70% of net utility property additions. Property additions include plant-in-service and specific assets in construction work-in-progress. The amount of bond capacity listed above does not include eligible property in construction work-in-progress. Nevada Power also has the ability to release property from the lien of Nevada Power's indenture on the basis of net property additions, cash or retired bonds. To the extent Nevada Power releases property from the lien of Nevada Power's indenture, it will reduce the amount of securities issuable under the indenture.

------

<u>Future Uses of Cash</u>

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 secured revolving credit facilities, 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 Nevada Power's credit ratings, investors' judgment of risk associated with Nevada Power 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 customers' 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.

Historical and forecasted capital expenditures, each of which exclude amounts for non-cash equity AFUDC and other non-cash items, for the years ending December 31 are as follows (in millions):

Nevada Power receives PUCN approval through its IRP filings for various projects and has included estimates from IRP filings as well as potential future filings in its forecast capital expenditures for 2026 through 2028. These estimates are likely to change as a result of the RFP process, continued evaluation and future IRP filing refinements. Nevada Power's historical and forecast capital expenditures include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Electric transmission includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Growth projects primarily relate to the Nevada Utilities' Greenlink Nevada transmission expansion program totaling $428 million for 2025, $181 million for 2024 and $62 million for 2023. Planned spending for the Greenlink Nevada transmission expansion program expected to be placed in-service in 2027 and 2028 totals $730 million in 2026, $902 million in 2027 and $411 million in 2028. Operating expenditures consist of routine expenditures for transmission and other infrastructure needed to serve existing and expected demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Electric distribution includes both growth projects and operating expenditures consisting of routine expenditures for distribution needed to serve existing and expected demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Wildfire prevention includes growth and operating expenditures related to projects included 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.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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 an ownership share approved by the PUCN of 10% for Nevada Power and 90% for 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. Also included was a 220-MW grid-tied battery energy storage system that was developed on the site of the retired Reid Gardner generating station in Clark County, Nevada that commenced operations in December 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Growth projects primarily consist of additional completed 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.

*2021 Joint Integrated Resource Plan*

In August 2023, the Nevada Utilities filed its Joint Application for approval of the Fifth Amendment to the 2021 Joint Integrated Resource Plan. The Fifth Amendment sought, in part (1) to convert the existing coal-fueled generating facility at North Valmy Generating Station to a cleaner natural gas-fueled generating facility (2) to purchase, install, and operate a company-owned 400 MW solar plant along with a 400 MW, four-hour battery storage system in Northern Nevada; (3) to continue operation of Tracy units 4 and 5 to 2049; (4) to purchase development assets for the 149 MW photovoltaic and 149 MW battery energy storage system Crescent Valley Solar project; (5) to construct the Esmeralda and Sagebrush substations transformers; and (6) to construct the necessary infrastructure in the APEX Area Master Plan. The Nevada Utilities sought approval of approximately $1.8 billion in total costs of new projects of which Nevada Power's share is approximately $1.0 billion. An order was issued in March 2024 in which the Nevada Utilities filed a motion for clarification and petition for reconsideration. In April 2024, a modified final order was issued, which granted in part and denied in part including the denial of the 149 MW photovoltaic and 149 MW battery energy storage system Crescent Valley Solar project as delineated in the final modified order.

*2024 Joint Integrated Resource Plan*

In May 2024, the Nevada Utilities filed its joint Application for approval of the 2024 Joint Integrated Resources Plan. The 2024 joint Application sought, in part (1) the addition of three power purchase agreements for solar generating resources totaling more than 1,000 MW, each with co-located battery storage systems; (2) the addition of 400 MW of company-owned hydrogen-capable natural gas simple cycle combustion turbine peakers at the North Valmy generation station; (3) to approve an update of the Greenlink Nevada Transmission project costs; and (4) to construct the necessary transmission infrastructure to support growing customer demand. In December 2024, the PUCN largely accepted the filing as filed but denied opining on the additional costs associated with the Greenlink Nevada project as all costs expended to construct the previously approved Greenlink Nevada project are subject to a prudency review in the GRC as delineated in the final 2024 Joint Integrated Resource Plan order.

In October 2025, the Nevada Utilities submitted a Joint Application for approval of the First Amendment to the 2024 Joint Integrated Resource Plan. The First Amendment seeks approval to enter into a 20-year power purchase agreement with the developer for an additional 150-MW battery energy storage system that will reduce the Nevada Utilities' open position beginning in the summer of 2027. The battery energy storage system will be co-located with existing Dodge Flat solar and battery facility in Washoe County, Nevada. In January 2026, the Nevada Utilities filed a stipulation with the PUCN that reflected a settlement among participating parties and largely accepted the First Amendment as filed, including approval of the 150-MW battery energy storage system power purchase agreement. A final order approving the stipulation was received in February 2026.

**Material Cash Requirements**

Nevada Power has cash requirements that may affect its consolidated financial condition that arise primarily from long- and short-term debt (refer to Notes 7 and 8), operating and financing leases (refer to Note 5), purchased electricity contracts (refer to Note 14), fuel contracts (refer to Note 14), construction and other development costs (refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources included within this Item 7 and Note 14) and AROs (refer to Note 11). Refer to the respective referenced note in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

------

Nevada Power has cash requirements relating to interest payments of $3.4 billion on long-term debt, including $187 million due in 2026.

**Regulatory Matters**

Nevada Power is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to the discussion contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-K for further information regarding Nevada Power's general regulatory framework and 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 consolidated financial results.

Refer to "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Item 1 of this Form 10-K for further discussion regarding environmental laws and regulations.

**Collateral and Contingent Features**

Debt of Nevada Power is rated by credit rating agencies. Assigned credit ratings are based on each rating agency's assessment of Nevada Power's ability to, in general, meet the obligations of its issued debt. The credit ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and there is no assurance that a particular credit rating will continue for any given period of time.

Nevada Power has no credit rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity dates of outstanding debt, and a change in ratings is not an event of default under the applicable debt instruments. Nevada Power's secured revolving credit facility does not require the maintenance of a minimum credit rating level in order to draw upon its availability. However, commitment fees and interest rates under the credit facility are tied to credit ratings and increase or decrease when the ratings change. A ratings downgrade could also increase the future cost of commercial paper, short- and long-term debt issuances or new credit facilities.

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 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," or in some cases terminate the contract, in the event of a material adverse change in creditworthiness. These rights can vary by contract and by counterparty. As of December 31, 2025, the applicable credit ratings obtained from recognized credit rating agencies were investment grade. If all credit-risk-related contingent features or adequate assurance provisions for these agreements had been triggered as of December 31, 2025, Nevada Power would have been required to post $41 million of additional collateral. 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.

**Inflation**

Historically, overall inflation and changing prices in the economies where Nevada Power operates has not had a significant impact on Nevada Power's consolidated financial results. Nevada Power operates under a cost-of-service based rate-setting structure administered by the PUCN and the FERC. Under this rate-setting structure, Nevada Power is allowed to include prudent costs in its rates, including the impact of inflation after Nevada Power experiences cost increases. Fuel and purchase power costs are recovered through a balancing account, minimizing the impact of inflation related to these costs. Nevada Power attempts to minimize the potential impact of inflation on its operations through the use of periodic rate adjustments for fuel and energy costs, by employing prudent risk management and hedging strategies and by considering, among other areas, its impact on purchases of energy, operating expenses, materials and equipment costs, contract negotiations, future capital spending programs and long-term debt issuances. There can be no assurance that such actions will be successful.

**New Accounting Pronouncements**

For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements affecting Nevada Power, refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

**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. The following critical accounting estimates are impacted significantly by Nevada Power's methods, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with Nevada Power's Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Nevada Power's Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

*Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation*

Nevada Power prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with authoritative guidance for regulated operations, which recognizes the economic effects of regulation. Accordingly, Nevada Power defers the recognition of certain costs or income if it is probable that, through the ratemaking process, there will be a corresponding increase or decrease in future regulated rates. Regulatory assets and liabilities are established to reflect the impacts of these deferrals, which will be recognized in earnings in the periods the corresponding changes in regulated rates occur.

Nevada Power continually evaluates the applicability of the guidance for regulated operations and whether its regulatory assets and liabilities are probable of inclusion in future regulated rates by considering factors such as a change in the regulator's approach to setting rates from cost-based ratemaking to another form of regulation, other regulatory actions or the impact of competition that could limit Nevada Power's ability to recover its costs. Nevada Power believes its application of the guidance for regulated operations is appropriate and its existing regulatory assets and liabilities are probable of inclusion in future regulated rates. The evaluation reflects the current political and regulatory climate at both the federal and state levels. If it becomes no longer probable that the deferred costs or income will be included in future regulated rates, the related regulatory assets and liabilities will be written off to net income, returned to customers or re-established as AOCI. Total regulatory assets were $0.6 billion and total regulatory liabilities were $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2025. Refer to Nevada Power's Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding Nevada Power's regulatory assets and liabilities.

*Impairment of Long-Lived Assets*

Nevada Power evaluates long-lived assets for impairment, including property, plant and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable or when the assets are being held for sale. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the asset is reviewed to assess whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of the asset plus the residual value from the ultimate disposal exceeds the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amounts, the asset is written down to the estimated fair value and any resulting impairment loss is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As substantially all property, plant and equipment was used in regulated businesses as of December 31, 2025, the impacts of regulation are considered when evaluating the carrying value of regulated assets.

The estimate of cash flows arising from the future use of an asset, for the purposes of impairment analysis, requires the exercise of judgment. Circumstances that could significantly alter the calculation of fair value or the recoverable amount of an asset may include significant changes in the regulatory environment, the business climate, management's plans, legal factors, market price of the asset, the use of the asset, the physical condition of the asset, future market prices, load growth, competition and many other factors over the life of the asset. Any resulting impairment loss is highly dependent on the underlying assumptions and could significantly affect Nevada Power's results of operations.

------

*Income Taxes*

In determining Nevada Power's income taxes, management is required to interpret complex income tax laws and regulations, which includes consideration of regulatory implications imposed by Nevada Power's various regulatory commissions. Nevada Power's income tax returns are subject to continuous examinations by federal, state and local income tax authorities that may give rise to different interpretations of these complex laws and regulations. Due to the nature of the examination process, it generally takes years before these examinations are completed and these matters are resolved. Nevada Power recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Although the ultimate resolution of Nevada Power's federal, state and local income tax examinations is uncertain, Nevada Power believes it has made adequate provisions for these income tax positions. The aggregate amount of any additional income tax liabilities that may result from these examinations is not expected to have a material impact on Nevada Power's consolidated financial results. Refer to Nevada Power's Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding Nevada Power's income taxes.

It is probable that Nevada Power will pass income tax benefit and expense related to the federal tax rate change from 35% to 21%, certain property related basis differences and other various differences on to its customers. As of December 31, 2025, these amounts were recognized as a net regulatory liability of $484 million and will be included in regulated rates when the temporary differences reverse.

**Item 7A. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

Nevada Power's Consolidated Balance Sheets include assets and liabilities with fair values that are subject to market risks. Nevada Power's significant market risks are primarily associated with commodity prices, interest rates and the extension of credit to counterparties with which Nevada Power transacts. The following discussion addresses the significant market risks associated with Nevada Power's business activities. Nevada Power has established guidelines for credit risk management. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding Nevada Power's contracts accounted for as derivatives.

<u>Commodity Price Risk</u>

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. 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 does not hedge all of its commodity price risk, thereby exposing the unhedged portion to changes in market prices. Nevada Power's exposure to commodity price risk is generally limited by its ability to include commodity costs in regulated rates through its deferred energy mechanism, which is subject to disallowance and regulatory lag that occurs between the time the costs are incurred and when the costs are included in regulated rates, as well as the impact of any customer sharing resulting from cost adjustment mechanisms.

------

The table that follows summarizes Nevada Power's price risk on commodity contracts accounted for as derivatives and shows the effects of a hypothetical 10% increase and 10% decrease in forward market prices by the expected volumes for these contracts as of that date. The selected hypothetical change does not reflect what could be considered the best or worse case scenarios (dollars in millions).

---

Nevada Power's commodity derivative contracts not designated as hedging contracts are recoverable from customers in regulated rates and therefore, net unrealized gains and losses associated with interim price movements on commodity derivative contracts do not expose Nevada Power to earnings volatility. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, a net regulatory asset of $41 million and $57 million, respectively, was recorded related to the net derivative liability of $41 million and $57 million, respectively. The settled cost of these commodity derivative contracts is generally included in regulated rates.

<u>Interest Rate Risk</u>

Nevada Power is exposed to interest rate risk on its outstanding variable-rate short- and long-term debt and future debt issuances. 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. As a result of the fixed interest rates, Nevada Power's fixed-rate long-term debt does not expose Nevada Power to the risk of loss due to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, because fixed-rate long-term debt is not carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, changes in fair value would impact earnings and cash flows only if Nevada Power were to reacquire all or a portion of these instruments prior to their maturity. The nature and amount of Nevada Power's short- and long-term debt can be expected to vary from period to period as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. Refer to Notes 7 and 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion of Nevada Power's short- and long-term debt.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Nevada Power had no short- and long-term variable-rate obligations that expose Nevada Power to the risk of increased interest expense in the event of increases in short-term interest rates.

<u>Credit Risk</u>

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.

As of December 31, 2025, Nevada Power's aggregate credit exposure from energy related transactions were not material, based on settlement and mark-to-market exposures, net of collateral.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of

Nevada Power Company

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nevada Power Company and subsidiaries ("Nevada Power") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nevada Power as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of Nevada Power's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Nevada Power's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Nevada Power is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Nevada Power's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matter**

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the Board of Directors and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

**Regulatory Matters — Effects of Rate Regulation on the Financial Statements — Refer to Note 6 to the financial statements**

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

Nevada Power is subject to rate regulation by a state public service commission as well as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (collectively, the "Commissions"), which have jurisdiction with respect to the rates of electric and natural gas companies in the respective service territories where Nevada Power operates. Management has determined its regulated operations meet the requirements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to prepare its financial statements applying the specialized rules to account for the effects of cost-based rate regulation. Accounting for the economic effects of rate regulation has a pervasive effect on the financial statements.

Regulated rates are subject to regulatory rate-setting processes. Rates are determined, approved, and established based on a cost-of-service basis, which is designed to allow Nevada Power an opportunity to recover its prudently incurred costs of providing services and to earn a reasonable return on its invested capital. Regulatory decisions can have an effect on the recovery of costs, the rate of return earned on investment, and the timing and amount of assets to be recovered by rates. While Nevada Power Company has indicated it expects to recover costs from customers through regulated rates, there is a risk that changes to the Commissions' approach to setting rates or other regulatory actions could limit Nevada Power's ability to recover its costs.

We identified the effects of rate regulation on the financial statements as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgments made by management to support its assertions about certain affected account balances and disclosures and the high degree of subjectivity involved in assessing the impact of regulatory orders on the financial statements. Management judgments include assessing the likelihood of (1) recovery in future rates of incurred costs and (2) disallowance of part of the cost of recently completed plant or plant under construction, and (3) refunds to customers. Given that management's accounting judgments are based on assumptions about the outcome of decisions by the Commissions, auditing these judgments required specialized knowledge of accounting for rate regulation and the rate setting process due to its inherent complexities.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to the uncertainty of decisions by the Commissions included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated Nevada Power's disclosures related to the effects of rate regulation by testing certain recorded balances and evaluating regulatory developments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We read relevant regulatory orders issued by the Commissions, regulatory statutes filings made by Nevada Power and other external information. We evaluated relevant external information and compared it to certain recorded regulatory asset and liability balances for completeness.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For certain regulatory matters, we inspected Nevada Power's filings with the Commissions and the filings with the Commissions by intervenors to assess the likelihood of recovery in future rates or of a future reduction in rates based on precedents of the Commissions' treatment of similar costs under similar circumstances.

**NEVADA POWER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Organization and Operations** 

Nevada Power Company and 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 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 based in Des Moines, Iowa that has investments in subsidiaries principally engaged in energy businesses. BHE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway").

**(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** 

*Basis of Consolidation and Presentation*

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Nevada Power and its subsidiaries in which it holds a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement date. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income have been omitted as net income equals comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

*Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements*

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, the effects of regulation; recovery of long-lived assets; certain assumptions made in accounting for pension and other postretirement benefits; asset retirement obligations ("AROs"); income taxes; unbilled revenue; valuation of certain financial assets and liabilities, including derivative contracts; and accounting for contingencies. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements.

*Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation*

Nevada Power prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with authoritative guidance for regulated operations, which recognizes the economic effects of regulation. Accordingly, Nevada Power defers the recognition of certain costs or income if it is probable that, through the ratemaking process, there will be a corresponding increase or decrease in future regulated rates. Regulatory assets and liabilities are established to reflect the impacts of these deferrals, which will be recognized in earnings in the periods the corresponding changes in regulated rates occur. If it becomes no longer probable that the deferred costs or income will be included in future regulated rates, the related regulatory assets and liabilities will be written off to net income, returned to customers or re-established as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI").

*Fair Value Measurements*

As defined under GAAP, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability between market participants in the principal market or in the most advantageous market when no principal market exists. Adjustments to transaction prices or quoted market prices may be required in illiquid or disorderly markets in order to estimate fair value. Different valuation techniques may be appropriate under the circumstances to determine the value that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction. Market participants are assumed to be independent, knowledgeable, able and willing to transact an exchange and not under duress. Nonperformance or credit risk is considered when determining fair value. Considerable judgment may be required in interpreting market data used to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current or future market exchange.

------

*Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash*

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 of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 December 31,** | **As of December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $22 | $23 |
| Restricted cash and cash equivalents included in other current assets | 13 | 19 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents | $35 | $42 |

---

*Allowance for Credit Losses*

Trade receivables are primarily short-term in nature with stated collection terms of less than one year from the date of origination and are stated at the outstanding principal amount, net of an estimated allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is based on Nevada Power's assessment of the collectability of amounts owed to Nevada Power by its customers. This assessment requires judgment regarding the ability of customers to pay or the outcome of any pending disputes. In measuring the allowance for credit losses for trade receivables, Nevada Power primarily utilizes credit loss history. However, Nevada Power may adjust the allowance for credit losses to reflect current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that deviate from historical experience. Nevada Power also has the ability to assess deposits on customers who have delayed payments or who are deemed to be a credit risk. The changes in the balance of the allowance for credit losses, which is included in trade receivables, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, is summarized as follows for the years ended December 31, (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Beginning balance | $17 | $20 | $20 |
| Charged to operating costs and expenses, net | 15 | 19 | 18 |
| Write-offs, net | (19) | (22) | (18) |
| Ending balance | $13 | $17 | $20 |

---

*Derivatives* 

Nevada Power employs a number of different derivative contracts, which may include forwards, futures, options, swaps and other agreements, to manage its commodity price and interest rate risks. 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. Derivative balances reflect offsetting permitted under master netting agreements with counterparties and cash collateral paid or received under such agreements.

Commodity derivatives used in normal business operations that are settled by physical delivery, among other criteria, are eligible for and may be designated as normal purchases or normal sales. Normal purchases or normal sales contracts are not marked-to-market and settled amounts are recognized as cost of fuel, energy and capacity on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For Nevada Power's derivative contracts, the settled amount is generally included in regulated rates. Accordingly, the net unrealized gains and losses associated with interim price movements on contracts that are accounted for as derivatives and probable of inclusion in regulated rates are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities. For a derivative contract not probable of inclusion in rates, changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings.

------

*Inventories*

Inventories consist mainly of materials and supplies totaling $230 million and $190 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The cost is determined using the average cost method. Materials are charged to inventory when purchased and are expensed or capitalized to construction work in process, as appropriate, when used.

*Property, Plant and Equipment, Net* 

*General*

Additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Nevada Power capitalizes all construction-related material, direct labor and contract services, as well as indirect construction costs. Indirect construction costs include debt allowance for funds used during construction ("AFUDC"), and equity AFUDC, as applicable. The cost of additions and betterments are capitalized, while costs incurred that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the related assets are generally expensed. The cost of repairs and minor replacements are charged to expense when incurred with the exception of costs for generation plant maintenance under certain long-term service agreements. Costs under these agreements are expensed straight-line over the term of the agreements as approved by the PUCN.

Depreciation and amortization are generally computed by applying the composite or straight-line method based on either estimated useful lives or mandated recovery periods as prescribed by Nevada Power's various regulatory authorities. Depreciation studies are completed by Nevada Power to determine the appropriate group lives, net salvage and group depreciation rates. These studies are reviewed and rates are ultimately approved by the applicable regulatory commission. Net salvage includes the estimated future residual values of the assets and any estimated removal costs recovered through approved depreciation rates. Estimated removal costs are recorded as a noncurrent regulatory liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As actual removal costs are incurred, the associated liability is reduced.

Generally when Nevada Power retires or sells a component of regulated property, plant and equipment depreciated using the composite method, it charges the original cost, net of any proceeds from the disposition, to accumulated depreciation. Any gain or loss on disposals of all other assets is recorded through earnings with the exception of material gains or losses on regulated property, plant and equipment depreciated on a straight-line basis, which is then recorded to a regulatory liability or asset, respectively.

Debt and equity AFUDC, which represent the estimated costs of debt and equity funds necessary to finance the construction of regulated facilities, are capitalized as a component of property, plant and equipment, with offsetting credits to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The rate applied to construction costs is the lower of the PUCN allowed rate of return and rates computed based on guidelines set forth by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC"). After construction is completed, Nevada Power is permitted to earn a return on these costs as a component of the related assets, as well as recover these costs through depreciation expense over the useful lives of the related assets. Nevada Power's AFUDC rate used during 2025 and 2024 was 7.44% and 7.43%, respectively.

*Asset Retirement Obligations*

Nevada Power recognizes AROs when it has a legal obligation to perform decommissioning, reclamation or removal activities upon retirement of an asset. Nevada Power's AROs are primarily associated with its generating facilities. The fair value of an ARO liability is recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset, which is then depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the ARO liability is adjusted for any revisions to the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows (with corresponding adjustments to property, plant and equipment, net) and for accretion of the ARO liability due to the passage of time. The difference between the ARO liability, the corresponding ARO asset included in property, plant and equipment, net and amounts recovered in rates to satisfy such liabilities is recorded as a regulatory asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The costs are not recovered in rates until the work has been completed.

------

*Impairment*

Nevada Power evaluates long-lived assets for impairment, including property, plant and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable or when the assets are being held for sale. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the asset is reviewed to assess whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of the asset plus the residual value from the ultimate disposal exceeds the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amounts, the asset is written down to the estimated fair value and any resulting impairment loss is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As substantially all property, plant and equipment was used in regulated businesses, the impacts of regulation are considered when evaluating the carrying value of regulated assets.

*Leases*

Nevada Power has non-cancelable operating leases primarily for land, generating facilities, vehicles and office equipment and finance leases consisting primarily of transmission assets, generating facilities, office space and vehicles. These leases generally require Nevada Power to pay for insurance, taxes and maintenance applicable to the leased property. Given the capital-intensive nature of the utility industry, it is common for a portion of lease costs to be capitalized when used during construction or maintenance of assets, in which the associated costs will be capitalized with the corresponding asset and depreciated over the remaining life of that asset. Certain leases contain renewal options for varying periods and escalation clauses for adjusting rent to reflect changes in price indices. Nevada Power does not include options in its lease calculations unless there is a triggering event indicating Nevada Power is reasonably certain to exercise the option. Nevada Power's accounting policy is to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease obligations for leases with contract terms of one year or less and not separate lease components from non-lease components and instead account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with a lease as a single lease component. Right-of-use assets are evaluated for impairment in line with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment" when a triggering event has occurred that might affect the value and use of the assets being leased.

Nevada Power's leases of generating facilities generally are for the long-term purchase of electric energy, also known as power purchase agreements ("PPA"). PPAs are generally signed before or during the early stages of project construction and can yield a lease that has not yet commenced. These agreements are primarily for renewable energy and the payments are considered variable lease payments as they are based on the amount of output.

Nevada Power's operating and right-of-use assets are recorded in other assets and the operating lease liabilities are recorded in current and long-term other liabilities accordingly.

*Revenue Recognition*

Nevada Power uses a single five-step model to identify and recognize revenue from contracts with customers ("Customer Revenue") upon transfer of control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which Nevada Power expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Nevada Power records sales, franchise and excise taxes collected directly from customers and remitted directly to the taxing authorities on a net basis on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Substantially all of Nevada Power's Customer Revenue is derived from tariff-based sales arrangements approved by various regulatory commissions. These tariff-based revenues are mainly comprised of energy, transmission and distribution and have performance obligations to deliver energy products and services to customers which are satisfied over time as energy is delivered or services are provided. Other revenue consists primarily of amounts not considered Customer Revenue within ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" and revenue recognized in accordance with ASC 842, "Leases."

Revenue recognized is equal to what Nevada Power has the right to invoice as it corresponds directly with the value to the customer of Nevada Power's performance to date and includes billed and unbilled amounts. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, trade receivables, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets relate substantially to Customer Revenue, including unbilled revenue of $131 million and $132 million, respectively. Payments for amounts billed are generally due from the customer within 30 days of billing. Rates charged for energy products and services are established by regulators or contractual arrangements that establish the transaction price as well as the allocation of price amongst the separate performance obligations. When preliminary regulated rates are permitted to be billed prior to final approval by the applicable regulator, certain revenue collected may be subject to refund and a liability for estimated refunds is accrued. In addition, Nevada Power has recognized contract assets of $1 million and $1 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, due to Nevada Power's performance on certain contracts.

------

*Unamortized Debt Premiums, Discounts and Issuance Costs*

Premiums, discounts and financing costs incurred for the issuance of long-term debt are amortized over the term of the related financing using the effective interest method.

*Income Taxes*

Berkshire Hathaway includes Nevada Power in its consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. Consistent with established regulatory practice, Nevada Power's provision for income taxes has been computed on a stand-alone basis.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted income tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities associated with components of other comprehensive income ("OCI") are charged or credited directly to OCI. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities associated with certain property-related basis differences and other various differences that Nevada Power deems probable to be passed on to its customers are charged or credited directly to a regulatory asset or liability and will be included in regulated rates when the temporary differences reverse. Other changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities are included as a component of income tax expense. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities attributable to changes in enacted income tax rates are charged or credited to income tax expense or a regulatory asset or liability in the period of enactment. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more-likely-than-not to be realized.

Investment tax credits are deferred and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the related properties.

Nevada Power recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Nevada Power's unrecognized tax benefits are primarily included in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Estimated interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense (benefit) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

*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.

*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 adopted this guidance for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025, under the retrospective method. The adoption did not have a material impact on Nevada Power's Consolidated Financial Statements, but did expand the disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 9 for expanded rate reconciliation disclosures and disaggregation of income taxes paid.

------

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, as clarified in ASU 2025-01, 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.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, Government Grants Topic 832, "Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities" which establishes accounting for government grants received by an entity, including guidance for a grant related to an asset and a grant related to income. This guidance also requires, consistent with current disclosure requirements, that an entity provide disclosures including the nature of the government grant received, the accounting policies used to account for the grant, and significant terms and conditions of the grant. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028. Early adoption is permitted and can be applied using either a modified prospective approach, a modified retrospective approach or a retrospective approach. 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.

*Operating and Finance Lease Obligations*

Nevada Power's lease obligation primarily consists of a transmission line, One Nevada Transmission Line ("ON Line"), which was placed in-service on December 31, 2013. Nevada Power and Sierra Pacific, collectively the ("Nevada Utilities"), entered into a long-term transmission use agreement, in which the Nevada Utilities have a 25% interest and Great Basin Transmission South, LLC has a 75% interest. The Nevada Utilities' share of the long-term transmission use agreement and ownership interest is split at 75% for Nevada Power and 25% for Sierra Pacific. The term of the lease is 41 years with the agreement ending December 31, 2054. Total ON Line finance lease obligations of $239 million and $253 million were included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. See Note 2 for further discussion of Nevada Power's other lease obligations.

**(6)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Regulatory Matters** 

*Regulatory Assets*

Regulatory assets represent costs that are expected to be recovered in future rates. Nevada Power's regulatory assets reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of the following as of December 31 (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Weighted**<br>**Average**<br>**Remaining Life** | **2025** | **2024** |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Noncurrent assets |  | 433 | 459 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total regulatory assets |  | $553 | $583 |

---

------

Nevada Power had regulatory assets not earning a return on investment of $263 million and $313 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The regulatory assets not earning a return on investment primarily consist of merger costs from the 1999 merger, AROs, unrealized losses on regulated derivative contracts, deferred operating costs, losses on reacquired debt and a portion of the employee benefit plans.

*Regulatory Liabilities*

Regulatory liabilities represent amounts that are expected to be returned to customers in future periods. Nevada Power's regulatory liabilities reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of the following as of December 31 (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Weighted**<br>**Average**<br>**Remaining Life** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Deferred income taxes<sup>(1)</sup> | Various | $484 | $510 |
| Cost of removal<sup>(2)</sup> | 37 years | 417 | 399 |
| Earning sharing mechanism | 3 years | 44 | 77 |
| Other | Various | 68 | 52 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total regulatory liabilities |  | $1013 | $1038 |
| Reflected as: |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Current liabilities |  | $33 | $41 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Noncurrent liabilities |  | 980 | 997 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total regulatory liabilities |  | $1013 | $1038 |

---

(1)Amounts primarily represent income tax liabilities related to the federal tax rate change from 35% to 21% that are probable to be passed on to customers, offset by income tax benefits related to accelerated tax depreciation and certain property-related basis differences that were previously passed on to customers and will be included in regulated rates when the temporary differences reverse.

(2)Amounts represent estimated costs, as accrued through depreciation rates and exclusive of ARO liabilities, of removing regulated property, plant and equipment in accordance with accepted regulatory practices.

*Deferred Energy*

Nevada statutes permit regulated utilities to adopt deferred energy accounting procedures. The intent of these procedures is to ease the effect on customers of fluctuations in the cost of purchased natural gas, fuel and electricity and are subject to annual prudency review by the PUCN. Under deferred energy accounting, to the extent actual fuel and purchased power costs exceed fuel and purchased power costs recoverable through current rates that excess is not recorded as a current expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations but rather is deferred and recorded as a regulatory asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and would be included in the regulatory assets table above as deferred energy costs. Conversely, a regulatory liability is recorded to the extent fuel and purchased power costs recoverable through current rates exceed actual fuel and purchased power costs and is included in the regulatory liabilities table above as deferred energy costs. These excess amounts are reflected in quarterly adjustments to rates and recorded as cost of fuel, energy and capacity in future time periods.

*Regulatory Rate Review*

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%. In May 2025, a settlement was reached in the cost of capital phase, resulting in the return on equity remaining at 9.5% and the capital structure as well as the cost of debt being approved as filed. Hearings for the revenue requirement and rate design phases were held in July 2025. In September 2025, the PUCN issued an order approving an increase in the revenue requirement of $118 million, which includes 50% of construction work in progress in rate base for the Greenlink project, with rates effective October 1, 2025. In October 2025, Nevada Power filed a petition for reconsideration and clarification of certain aspects of the PUCN's order, including recovery of the Flex Pay Program implementation costs. In November 2025, the PUCN issued a final modified order largely reaffirming its original order.

------

*Wildfire Self-Insurance Policy Filing*

In January 2025, Nevada Power filed an application for approval of the establishment and associated cost recovery of a Wildfire Self-Insurance Policy. In the application, Nevada Power request that the PUCN issue an order determining that it is reasonable and prudent for the Nevada Utilities to establish a $500 million wildfire self-insurance policy (the "Policy") in order to have additional wildfire liability insurance in place in the event that a catastrophic wildfire in Nevada is alleged to be caused or exacerbated by utility equipment. The Policy would provide $500 million in additional coverage for the Nevada Utilities for third-party claims, and it would be in excess to the commercial wildfire liability insurance the Nevada Utilities possess. In addition, the application requests approval to collect the costs for the Policy in rates over a ten-year period. Hearings before the Commission concluded in June 2025. In July 2025, the PUCN issued an order that approved the application in part and denied the application in part. The PUCN found that $1.0-$1.5 billion in insurance coverage is a prudent range for the Nevada Utilities based on its wildfire risk profile and that the Nevada Utilities sufficiently supported its initial request for an additional $500 million of excess insurance. However, the PUCN also determined that additional information is necessary to assess whether the self-insurance policy proposed by the Nevada Utilities is prudent under the circumstances and reasonable considering other options, if any. The Nevada Utilities filed the additional information requested by the PUCN in October 2025. The PUCN has set a hearing in April 2026 to assess the prudency of self-insurance.

 **(7)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Short-term Debt and Credit Facilities** 

Nevada Power has a $600 million secured credit facility expiring in June 2028 with an unlimited number of maturity extension options, subject to lender consent. The credit facility, which is for general corporate purposes and provide for the issuance of letters of credit, has a variable interest rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or a base rate, at Nevada Power's option, plus a spread that varies based on Nevada Power's credit ratings for its senior secured long-term debt securities.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Nevada Power had $50 million and $— million of short-term debt outstanding at a weighted average rate of 4.71% and —%, respectively.

Amounts due under Nevada Power's credit facility are collateralized by Nevada Power's general and refunding mortgage bonds. The credit facility requires Nevada Power's ratio of consolidated debt, including current maturities, to total capitalization not exceed 0.65 to 1.0 as of the last day of each quarter.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Nevada Power had $50 million of letter of credit capacity under its $600 million secured credit facility, of which no amount was outstanding.

**(9)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income Taxes** 

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 pursuant to a tax allocation agreement. Income before income tax expense (benefit) as reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, is all domestic.

Income tax expense consists of the following for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Substantially all income taxes paid or (received) by Nevada Power are pursuant to a tax allocation agreement.

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to the effective income tax rate applicable to income before income tax expense is as follows for the years ended December 31:

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2025** | **2024** | **2024** | **2023** | **2023** |
| | **Amount** | **Percent** | **Amount** | **Percent** | **Amount** | **Percent** |
| U.S federal statutory income tax rate | $56 | 21.0% | $85 | 21.0% | $59 | 21.0% |
| Energy-related tax credits | (20) | (7.6) | (15) | (3.8) |  |  |
| Effects of ratemaking | (18) | (6.8) | (13) | (3.3) | (37) | (13.2) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Effective income tax rate | $18 | 6.6% | $57 | 13.9% | $22 | 7.8% |

---

Effects of ratemaking is primarily attributable to the recognition of excess deferred income taxes related to the federal tax rate change from 35% to 21% pursuant to an order issued by the PUCN effective January 1, 2021.

Energy-related tax credits relate to production tax credits ("PTC") and investment tax credits ("ITC") 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. PTCs recognized for the for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 totaled $12 million, $8 million and $— million, respectively. ITCs recognized for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 totaled $8 million, $7 million and $— million, respectively.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has closed or effectively settled its examination of Nevada Power's income tax return through the short year ended December 31, 2014. The closure of examinations, or the expiration of the statute of limitations, may not preclude the U.S. Internal Revenue Service from adjusting the federal net operating loss carryforward utilized in a year for which the statute of limitations is not closed.

**(10)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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. Nevada Power did not make any contributions to the Qualified Pension Plan for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Nevada Power contributed $1 million to the Non-Qualified Pension Plans for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Nevada Power did not make any contributions to the Other Postretirement Plans for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. 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.

Amounts receivable from (payable to) NV Energy are included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and consist of the following as of December 31 (in millions):

**(11)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Asset Retirement Obligations** 

Nevada Power estimates its ARO liabilities based upon detailed engineering calculations of the amount and timing of the future cash spending for a third party to perform the required work. Spending estimates are escalated for inflation and then discounted at a credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. Changes in estimates could occur for a number of reasons, including changes in laws and regulations, plan revisions, inflation and changes in the amount and timing of the expected work.

Nevada Power does not recognize liabilities for AROs for which the fair value cannot be reasonably estimated. Due to the indeterminate removal date, the fair value of the associated liabilities on certain generation, transmission, distribution and other assets cannot currently be estimated, and no amounts are recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements other than those included in the cost of removal regulatory liability established via approved depreciation rates in accordance with accepted regulatory practices. These accruals totaled $417 million and $399 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The following table presents Nevada Power's ARO liabilities by asset type as of December 31 (in millions):

---

In 2008, Nevada Power signed an administrative order of consent as owner and operator of Reid Gardner Generating Station Unit Nos. 1, 2 and 3 and as co-owner and operating agent of Unit No. 4. Based on the administrative order of consent, Nevada Power recorded estimated AROs and capital remediation costs. However, actual costs of work under the administrative order of consent may vary significantly once the scope of work is defined and additional site characterization has been completed. In connection with the termination of the co-ownership arrangement, effective October 22, 2013, between Nevada Power and California Department of Water Resources ("CDWR") for the Reid Gardner Generating Station Unit No. 4, Nevada Power and CDWR entered into a cost-sharing agreement that sets forth how the parties will jointly share in costs associated with all investigation, characterization and, if necessary, remedial activities as required under the administrative order of consent.

Certain of Nevada Power's decommissioning and reclamation obligations relate to jointly-owned facilities. Nevada Power is committed to pay a proportionate share of the decommissioning or reclamation costs. In the event of a default by any of the other joint participants, the respective subsidiary may be obligated to absorb, directly or by paying additional sums to the entity, a proportionate share of the defaulting party's liability. Management has identified legal obligations to retire generation plant assets specified in land leases for Nevada Power's jointly-owned Navajo Generating Station, retired in November 2019, and the Higgins Generating Station. Provisions of the lease require the lessees to remove the facilities upon request of the lessors at the expiration of the leases. Nevada Power's estimated share of the decommissioning and reclamation obligations are primarily recorded as ARO liabilities in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In May 2024, the United States Environmental Protection Agency published its final rule on legacy coal combustion residuals ("CCR") surface impoundments and CCR management units ("CCRMUs") in the Federal Register. CCRMUs include CCR surface impoundments and landfills closed before October 19, 2015 and inactive CCR landfills. The final rule contains three main components: (1) a definition for legacy CCR surface impoundments, which are inactive surface impoundments at inactive generating facilities that must adhere to the same regulations as inactive CCR impoundments at active generating facilities, barring location restrictions and liner design criteria, with customized compliance deadlines; (2) groundwater monitoring, corrective action, closure, and post closure care requirements for CCRMUs, which may be located at active generating facilities and inactive generating facilities with a legacy CCR surface impoundment; and (3) the owners and operators of inactive generating facilities must identify the presence of legacy CCR surface impoundments and comply with all rule requirements for surface impoundments; and the owners and operators of active generating facilities and inactive generating facilities with a legacy CCR surface impoundment must prepare Facility Evaluation Reports ("FERs") that identify and describe the CCRMUs and determine whether closure is required. In February 2026, the EPA extended certain compliance deadlines with CCRMUs. Accordingly, and in a manner consistent with existing CCR rules, owners and operators must publish FERs on their CCR websites in two parts, within 12 months (Part 1) and 24 months (Part 2) of the final rule's effective date in February 2026. Nevada Power is currently evaluating the final rule and does not anticipate identifying any legacy surface impoundments, but does anticipate identifying CCRMUs subject to the rule. Due to the number of site investigations warranted by this rule and the nature of engineering and other studies required at each site, Nevada Power is unable to reasonably estimate the potential impact, which may be material, to its asset retirement obligations.

**(12)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**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 Notes 2 and 13 for additional information on derivative contracts.

(1)Nevada Power's commodity derivatives not designated as hedging contracts are included in regulated rates. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, a regulatory asset of $41 million and $57 million, respectively, was recorded related to the net derivative liability of $41 million and $57 million, respectively.

*Derivative Contract Volumes*

The following table summarizes the net notional amounts of outstanding commodity derivative contracts with fixed price terms that comprise the mark-to-market values as of December 31 (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Unit of**<br>**Measure** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Electricity purchases | Megawatt hours | 2 | 2 |
| Natural gas purchases | Decatherms | 131 | 127 |

---

*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 December 31, 2025, Nevada Power's credit ratings for its senior secured debt and its issuer credit ratings for subordinated 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 $5 million and $13 million as of December 31, 2025 and 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.

**(13)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 Balance Sheets 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Input Levels for Fair Value Measurements** | **Input Levels for Fair Value Measurements** | **Input Levels for Fair Value Measurements** | |
| | **Level 1** | **Level 2** | **Level 3** |<br>**Total** |
| **<u>As of December 31, 2025:</u>** | | | | |
| **Assets:** | | | | |
| Money market mutual funds | $19 | $— | $— | $19 |
| Investment funds | 5 |  |  | 5 |
|  | $24 | $— | $— | $24 |
| **Liabilities - commodity derivatives** | $— | $— | $(41) | $(41) |

| **Liabilities - commodity derivatives** | $— | $— | $(57) | $(57) |

---

Nevada Power's investments in money market mutual funds and investment funds are accounted for as available-for-sale securities and 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 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 December 31, 2025, 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.

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of Nevada Power's net commodity derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant Level 3 inputs for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

Nevada Power's long-term debt is carried at cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of Nevada Power'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 following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of Nevada Power's long-term debt as of December 31 (in millions):

**Item 7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Sierra Pacific's actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.

**Results of Operations**

<u>Overview</u>

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $146 million, an increase of $61 million, or 72%, compared to 2024, primarily due to higher allowance for borrowed and equity funds, lower depreciation and amortization expense, higher utility margin and decreased operations and maintenance expense. These items were partially offset by higher interest expense and higher 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 and price impacts from changes in sales mix, partially offset by an accrual in connection with a potential customer refund arising from an ongoing regulatory proceeding. Electric retail customer volumes, including distribution only service customers, increased 0.2% primarily due to an increase in the average number of customers, offset by unfavorable impact of weather. Energy generated decreased 3% for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to lower natural gas- and coal-fueled generation. Wholesale electricity sales volumes decreased 9% and purchased electricity volumes decreased 1%.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $85 million, a decrease of $32 million, or 27%, compared to 2023, primarily due to increased operations and maintenance expense, higher interest expense and lower interest and dividend income. These items were partially offset by higher electric utility margin, higher allowance for equity funds, lower income tax expense and favorable other, net from lower pension expense. Electric utility margin increased primarily due to higher retail rates from the 2024 regulatory rate review with new rates effective October 2024 and higher retail customer volumes, partially offset by lower transmission and wholesale revenue. Electric retail customer volumes, including distribution only service customers, increased 3.9% primarily due to the favorable impact of weather and an increase in the average number of customers. Energy generated increased 8% for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to higher coal-fueled generation, offset by higher natural gas-fueled generation. Wholesale electricity sales volumes increased 10% and purchased electricity volumes decreased 17%.

<u>Non-GAAP Financial Measure</u>

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 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 directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation of utility margin to operating income for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

<u>Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2024</u> 

*Electric utility margin* increased $10 million, or 2%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $19 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 and price impacts from changes in sales mix. Retail customer volumes, including distribution only service customers, increased 0.2% primarily due to an increase in the average number of customers, offset by the unfavorable impact of weather;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* $3 million of higher energy efficiency program revenue (offset in operations and maintenance expense) and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* $2 million of other revenues.

The increase in electric utility margin was offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $14 million of lower revenue related to an accrual in connection with a potential customer refund arising from an ongoing regulatory proceeding and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $1 million of lower transmission and wholesale revenue.

*Natural gas utility margin* increased $5 million, or 8%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher retail rates due to the 2024 regulatory rate review with new rates effective October 2024 and an increase in the average number of customers, offset by lower customer volumes from the unfavorable impact of weather.

*Operations and maintenance* decreased $4 million, or 2%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to lower administrative and general costs, lower regulatory amortizations and disallowances and decreased energy efficiency program costs (offset in operating revenue), offset by higher insurance premiums due to additional wildfire coverage and increased technology costs.

*Depreciation and amortization* decreased $20 million, or 11%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to lower depreciation rates and regulatory amortizations as a result of extending the life of the Valmy generation facility with the conversion to natural gas.

*Interest expense* increased $15 million, or 17%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher long-term debt with higher average interest rates and higher carrying charges on regulatory balances.

------

*Allowance for borrowed and equity funds* increased $46 million for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher construction work-in-progress.

*Interest and dividend income* decreased $1 million, or 8%, for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to unfavorable interest income, mainly from lower carrying charges on regulatory balances.

*Other, net* was favorable by $2 million for 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to lower pension expense.

*Income tax expense* increased $9 million, or 90%, for 2025 compared to 2024. The effective tax rate was 12% and 11% for 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $9 million increase was primarily due to higher pretax income, partially offset by higher benefit from the effects of ratemaking.

<u>Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2023</u> 

*Electric utility margin* increased $14 million, or 3%, for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $19 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 and higher retail customer volumes. Retail customer volumes, including distribution only service customers, increased 3.9% primarily due to the favorable impact of weather and an increase in the average number of customers.

The increase in electric utility margin was offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $5 million of lower transmission and wholesale revenue.

*Operations and maintenance* increased $41 million, or 20%, for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to higher insurance premiums due to additional wildfire coverage, increased reserve costs, higher plant operations and maintenance expenses, higher regulatory expenses primarily related to mill tax, increased technology costs, higher administrative and general costs, higher energy efficiency program costs (offset in operating revenue) and regulatory impacts from the 2024 general rate review.

*Depreciation and amortization* decreased $4 million, or 2%, for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to lower plant amortizations.

*Interest expense* increased $20 million, or 30%, for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to higher long-term debt and higher average interest rates.

*Allowance for equity funds* increased $8 million for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to higher construction work-in-progress.

*Interest and dividend income* decreased $10 million, or 45%, for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to unfavorable interest income, mainly from lower carrying charges on regulatory balances.

*Other, net* favorable $6 million for 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to lower pension expense.

*Income tax expense* decreased $6 million, or 38%, for 2024 compared to 2023. The effective tax rate was 11% and 12% for 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $6 million decrease was primarily due lower pretax income.

Refer to Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion regarding Sierra Pacific's credit facility and letters of credit.

<u>Operating Activities</u>

Net cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $395 million and $470 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to higher payments related to fuel energy costs and decreased collections from customers, partially offset by the timing of payments for operating costs and lower income tax payments.

Net cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $470 million and $419 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to lower payments related to fuel energy costs and increased customer deposits, partially offset by lower collections from customers, the timing of payments for operating costs, higher interest payments and higher 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 selected and assumptions made for each payment date.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

Net cash flows from investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $(1,650) million and $(673) million, respectively. The change was primarily due to increased capital expenditures. Refer to "Future Uses of Cash" for further discussion of capital expenditures.

Net cash flows from investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $(673) million and $(388) million, respectively. The change was primarily due to increased capital expenditures. Refer to "Future Uses of Cash" for further discussion of capital expenditures.

<u>Financing Activities</u> 

Net cash flows from financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $1,241 million and $175 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to higher contributions from NV Energy, Inc., higher proceeds from the issuance of junior subordinated debt and lower dividends paid to NV Energy, Inc.

Net cash flows from financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $175 million and $(35) million, respectively. The change was primarily due to a decrease in repayments of long-term debt, higher contributions from NV Energy, Inc. and lower repayments of an affiliate note payable, partially offset by a decrease in proceeds from long-term debt and higher dividends paid to NV Energy, Inc.

In January 2026, Sierra Pacific received contributions from NV Energy, Inc. of $300 million.

------

*Debt Authorizations*

Sierra Pacific currently has an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC to issue an additional $2.1 billion of general and refunding mortgage securities through April 1, 2028. Additionally, Sierra Pacific's ability to issue debt is primarily impacted by its financing authority from the PUCN. As of December 31, 2025, Sierra Pacific has financing authority from the PUCN consisting of the ability to issue long-term and short-term debt securities so long as the total amount of debt outstanding (excluding borrowings under Sierra Pacific's $400 million secured credit facility) does not exceed $4.0 billion and to issue common and preferred stock so long as the total amounts outstanding do not exceed $5.1 billion and $500 million, respectively, as measured at the end of each calendar quarter. Sierra Pacific's revolving credit facility contains a financial maintenance covenant which Sierra Pacific was in compliance with as of December 31, 2025. In addition, certain financing agreements contain covenants which are currently suspended as Sierra Pacific's senior secured and subordinated debt is rated investment grade. However, if Sierra Pacific's debt ratings fall below investment grade by either Moody's Investor Service or Standard & Poor's, Sierra Pacific would be subject to limitations under these covenants.

*General and Refunding Mortgage Securities*

To the extent Sierra Pacific has the ability to issue debt under the most restrictive covenants in its financing agreements and has financing authority to do so from the PUCN, Sierra Pacific's ability to issue secured debt is limited by the amount of bondable property or retired bonds that can be used to issue debt under Sierra Pacific's indenture.

Sierra Pacific's indenture creates a lien on substantially all of Sierra Pacific's properties in Nevada. As of December 31, 2025, Sierra Pacific had approximately $5.6 billion in bondable property, of which $3.6 billion of those had been pledged. Sierra Pacific had the capacity to issue $1.4 billion of additional general and refunding mortgage securities as of December 31, 2025 determined on the basis of 70% of net utility property additions. Property additions include plant-in-service and specific assets in construction work-in-progress. The amount of bond capacity listed above does not include eligible property in construction work-in-progress. Sierra Pacific also has the ability to release property from the lien of Sierra Pacific's indenture on the basis of net property additions, cash or retired bonds. To the extent Sierra Pacific releases property from the lien of Sierra Pacific's indenture, it will reduce the amount of securities issuable under the indenture.

<u>Future Uses of Cash</u>

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 secured revolving credit facilities, 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 Sierra Pacific's credit ratings, investors' judgment of risk associated with Sierra Pacific 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 customers' 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 receives PUCN approval through its IRP filings for various projects and has included estimates from IRP filings as well as potential future filings in its forecast capital expenditures for 2026 through 2028. These estimates are likely to change as a result of the RFP process, continued evaluation and future IRP filing refinements. Sierra Pacific's historical and forecast capital expenditures include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Electric transmission includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Growth projects primarily relate to the Nevada Utilities' Greenlink Nevada transmission expansion program totaling $290 million for 2025, $84 million for 2024, $68 million for 2023. Planned spending for the expansion program expected to be placed in-service in 2027 and 2028 totals $384 million in 2026, $546 million in 2027 and $208 million in 2028. Operating expenditures consist of routine expenditures for transmission and other infrastructure needed to serve existing and expected demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Electric distribution includes both growth projects and operating expenditures consisting of routine expenditures for distribution needed to serve existing and expected demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Wildfire prevention includes growth and operating expenditures related to projects included 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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 an ownership share approved by the PUCN of 90% for Sierra Pacific and 10% for 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. Also included was solar photovoltaic panels procured for future growth projects.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other includes both growth projects and operating expenditures consisting of a repower project at the Valmy generating station to convert existing coal-fired combustion to natural gas-fired combustion, information technology expenditures, routine expenditures for generation, other operating projects and other infrastructure needed to serve existing and expected demand.

*2021 Joint Integrated Resource Plan*

In August 2023, the Nevada Utilities filed its Joint Application for approval of the Fifth Amendment to the 2021 Joint Integrated Resource Plan. The Fifth Amendment sought, in part (1) to convert the existing coal-fueled generating facility at North Valmy Generating Station to a cleaner natural gas-fueled generating facility (2) to purchase, install, and operate a company-owned 400 MW solar plant along with a 400 MW, four-hour battery storage system in Northern Nevada; (3) to continue operation of Tracy units 4 and 5 to 2049; (4) to purchase development assets for the 149 MW photovoltaic and 149 MW battery energy storage system Crescent Valley Solar project; (5) to construct the Esmeralda and Sagebrush substations transformers; and (6) to construct the necessary infrastructure in the APEX Area Master Plan. The Nevada Utilities seek approval of approximately $1.8 billion in total costs of new projects of which Sierra Pacific's share is approximately $0.8 billion. An order was issued in March 2024 in which the Nevada Utilities filed a motion for clarification and petition for reconsideration. In April 2024, a modified final order was issued, which granted in part and denied in part including the denial of the 149 MW photovoltaic and 149 MW battery energy storage system Crescent Valley Solar project as delineated in the final modified order.

------

*2024 Joint Integrated Resource Plan*

In May 2024, the Nevada Utilities filed its joint Application for approval of the 2024 Joint Integrated Resources Plan. The 2024 joint Application sought, in part (1) the addition of three power purchase agreements for solar generating resources totaling more than 1,000 MW, each with co-located battery storage systems; (2) the addition of 400 MW of company-owned hydrogen-capable natural gas simple cycle combustion turbine peakers at the North Valmy generation station; (3) to approve an update of the Greenlink Nevada Transmission project costs; and (4) to construct the necessary transmission infrastructure to support growing customer demand. In December 2024, the PUCN largely accepted the filing as filed but denied opining on the additional costs associated with the Greenlink Nevada project as all costs expended to construct the previously approved Greenlink Nevada project are subject to a prudency review in the GRC as delineated in the final 2024 Joint Integrated Resource Plan order.

In October 2025, the Nevada Utilities submitted a Joint Application for approval of the First Amendment to the 2024 Joint Integrated Resource Plan. The First Amendment seeks approval to enter into a 20-year power purchase agreement with the developer for an additional 150-MW battery energy storage system that will reduce the Nevada Utilities' open position beginning in the summer of 2027. The battery energy storage system will be co-located with existing Dodge Flat solar and battery facility in Washoe County, Nevada. In January 2026, the Nevada Utilities filed a stipulation with the PUCN that reflected a settlement among participating parties and largely accepted the First Amendment as filed, including approval of the 150-MW battery energy storage system power purchase agreement. A final order approving the stipulation was received in February 2026.

**Material Cash Requirements**

Sierra Pacific has cash requirements that may affect its consolidated financial condition that arise primarily from long- and short-term debt (refer to Notes 7 and 8), operating and financing leases (refer to Note 5), purchased electricity contracts (refer to Note 14), fuel contracts (refer to Note 14), construction and other development costs (refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources included within this Item 7 and Note 14) and AROs (refer to Note 11). Refer to the respective referenced note in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

Sierra Pacific has cash requirements relating to interest payments of $2.1 billion on long-term debt, including $94 million due in 2026.

**Regulatory Matters**

Sierra Pacific is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to the discussion contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-K for further information regarding Sierra Pacific's general regulatory framework and 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 consolidated financial results.

Refer to "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Item 1 of this Form 10-K for further discussion regarding environmental laws and regulations.

------

**Collateral and Contingent Features**

Debt of Sierra Pacific is rated by credit rating agencies. Assigned credit ratings are based on each rating agency's assessment of Sierra Pacific's ability to, in general, meet the obligations of its issued debt. The credit ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and there is no assurance that a particular credit rating will continue for any given period of time.

Sierra Pacific has no credit rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity dates of outstanding debt, and a change in ratings is not an event of default under the applicable debt instruments. Sierra Pacific's secured revolving credit facility does not require the maintenance of a minimum credit rating level in order to draw upon its availability. However, commitment fees and interest rates under the credit facility are tied to credit ratings and increase or decrease when the ratings change. A ratings downgrade could also increase the future cost of commercial paper, short- and long-term debt issuances or new credit facilities.

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 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," or in some cases terminate the contract, in the event of a material adverse change in creditworthiness. These rights can vary by contract and by counterparty. As of December 31, 2025, the applicable credit ratings obtained from recognized credit rating agencies were investment grade. If all credit-risk-related contingent features or adequate assurance provisions for these agreements had been triggered as of December 31, 2025, Sierra Pacific would have been required to post $32 million of additional collateral. 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.

**Inflation**

Historically, overall inflation and changing prices in the economies where Sierra Pacific operates has not had a significant impact on Sierra Pacific's consolidated financial results. Sierra Pacific operates under a cost-of-service based rate-setting structure administered by the PUCN and the FERC. Under this rate-setting structure, Sierra Pacific is allowed to include prudent costs in its rates, including the impact of inflation after Sierra Pacific experiences cost increases. Fuel and purchase power costs are recovered through a balancing account, minimizing the impact of inflation related to these costs. Sierra Pacific attempts to minimize the potential impact of inflation on its operations through the use of periodic rate adjustments for fuel and energy costs, by employing prudent risk management and hedging strategies and by considering, among other areas, its impact on purchases of energy, operating expenses, materials and equipment costs, contract negotiations, future capital spending programs and long-term debt issuances. There can be no assurance that such actions will be successful.

**New Accounting Pronouncements**

For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements affecting Sierra Pacific, refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

**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. The following critical accounting estimates are impacted significantly by Sierra Pacific's methods, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with Sierra Pacific's Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Sierra Pacific's Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

*Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation*

Sierra Pacific prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with authoritative guidance for regulated operations, which recognizes the economic effects of regulation. Accordingly, Sierra Pacific defers the recognition of certain costs or income if it is probable that, through the ratemaking process, there will be a corresponding increase or decrease in future regulated rates. Regulatory assets and liabilities are established to reflect the impacts of these deferrals, which will be recognized in earnings in the periods the corresponding changes in regulated rates occur.

------

Sierra Pacific continually evaluates the applicability of the guidance for regulated operations and whether its regulatory assets and liabilities are probable of inclusion in future regulated rates by considering factors such as a change in the regulator's approach to setting rates from cost-based ratemaking to another form of regulation, other regulatory actions or the impact of competition that could limit Sierra Pacific's ability to recover its costs. Sierra Pacific believes its application of the guidance for regulated operations is appropriate and its existing regulatory assets and liabilities are probable of inclusion in future regulated rates. The evaluation reflects the current political and regulatory climate at both the federal and state levels. If it becomes no longer probable that the deferred costs or income will be included in future regulated rates, the related regulatory assets and liabilities will be written off to net income, returned to customers or re-established as AOCI. Total regulatory assets were $274 million and total regulatory liabilities were $463 million as of December 31, 2025. Refer to Sierra Pacific's Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding Sierra Pacific's regulatory assets and liabilities.

*Impairment of Long-Lived Assets*

Sierra Pacific evaluates long-lived assets for impairment, including property, plant and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable or when the assets are being held for sale. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the asset is reviewed to assess whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of the asset plus the residual value from the ultimate disposal exceeds the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amounts, the asset is written down to the estimated fair value and any resulting impairment loss is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As substantially all property, plant and equipment was used in regulated businesses as of December 31, 2025, the impacts of regulation are considered when evaluating the carrying value of regulated assets.

The estimate of cash flows arising from the future use of an asset, for the purposes of impairment analysis, requires the exercise of judgment. Circumstances that could significantly alter the calculation of fair value or the recoverable amount of an asset may include significant changes in the regulatory environment, the business climate, management's plans, legal factors, market price of the asset, the use of the asset, the physical condition of the asset, future market prices, load growth, competition and many other factors over the life of the asset. Any resulting impairment loss is highly dependent on the underlying assumptions and could significantly affect Sierra Pacific's results of operations.

*Income Taxes*

In determining Sierra Pacific's income taxes, management is required to interpret complex income tax laws and regulations, which includes consideration of regulatory implications imposed by Sierra Pacific's various regulatory commissions. Sierra Pacific's income tax returns are subject to continuous examinations by federal, state and local income tax authorities that may give rise to different interpretations of these complex laws and regulations. Due to the nature of the examination process, it generally takes years before these examinations are completed and these matters are resolved. Sierra Pacific recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Although the ultimate resolution of Sierra Pacific's federal, state and local income tax examinations is uncertain, Sierra Pacific believes it has made adequate provisions for these income tax positions. The aggregate amount of any additional income tax liabilities that may result from these examinations is not expected to have a material impact on Sierra Pacific's consolidated financial results. Refer to Sierra Pacific's Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding Sierra Pacific's income taxes.

It is probable that Sierra Pacific will pass income tax benefit and expense related to the federal tax rate change from 35% to 21%, certain property-related basis differences and other various differences on to its customers. As of December 31, 2025, these amounts were recognized as a net regulatory liability of $173 million and will be included in regulated rates when the temporary differences reverse.

**Item 7A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

Sierra Pacific's Consolidated Balance Sheets include assets and liabilities with fair values that are subject to market risks. Sierra Pacific's significant market risks are primarily associated with commodity prices, interest rates and the extension of credit to counterparties with which Sierra Pacific transacts. The following discussion addresses the significant market risks associated with Sierra Pacific's business activities. Sierra Pacific has established guidelines for credit risk management. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding Sierra Pacific's contracts accounted for as derivatives.

------

<u>Commodity Price Risk</u>

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, wholesale electricity that is purchased and sold, and natural gas supply for retail customers. 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. 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 does not hedge all of its commodity price risk, thereby exposing the unhedged portion to changes in market prices. Sierra Pacific's exposure to commodity price risk is generally limited by its ability to include commodity costs in regulated rates through its deferred energy mechanism, which is subject to disallowance and regulatory lag that occurs between the time the costs are incurred and when the costs are included in regulated rates, as well as the impact of any customer sharing resulting from cost adjustment mechanisms.

The table that follows summarizes Sierra Pacific's price risk on commodity contracts accounted for as derivatives and shows the effects of a hypothetical 10% increase and 10% decrease in forward market prices by the expected volumes for these contracts as of that date. The selected hypothetical change does not reflect what could be considered the best or worse case scenarios (dollars in millions).

---

Sierra Pacific's commodity derivative contracts not designated as hedging contracts are recoverable from customers in regulated rates and therefore, net unrealized gains and losses associated with interim price movements on commodity derivative contracts do not expose Sierra Pacific to earnings volatility. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, a net regulatory asset of $11 million and $13 million, respectively, was recorded related to the net derivative liability of $11 million and $13 million, respectively. The settled cost of these commodity derivative contracts is generally included in regulated rates.

<u>Interest Rate Risk</u>

Sierra Pacific is exposed to interest rate risk on its outstanding variable-rate short- and long-term debt and future debt issuances. 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. As a result of the fixed interest rates, Sierra Pacific's fixed-rate long-term debt does not expose Sierra Pacific to the risk of loss due to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, because fixed-rate long-term debt is not carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, changes in fair value would impact earnings and cash flows only if Sierra Pacific were to reacquire all or a portion of these instruments prior to their maturity. The nature and amount of Sierra Pacific's short- and long-term debt can be expected to vary from period to period as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. Refer to Notes 7 and 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion of Sierra Pacific's short- and long-term debt.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Sierra Pacific had no short- and long-term variable-rate obligations that expose Sierra Pacific to the risk of increased interest expense in the event of increases in short-term interest rates.

------

<u>Credit Risk</u>

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.

As of December 31, 2025, Sierra Pacific's aggregate credit exposure from energy related transactions were not material, based on settlement and mark-to-market exposures, net of collateral.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of

Sierra Pacific Power Company

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sierra Pacific Power Company and subsidiaries ("Sierra Pacific") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sierra Pacific as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of Sierra Pacific's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Sierra Pacific's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Sierra Pacific is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Sierra Pacific's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matter**

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the Board of Directors and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

**Regulatory Matters — Effects of Rate Regulation on the Financial Statements — Refer to Note 6 to the financial statements**

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

Sierra Pacific is subject to rate regulation by a state public service commission as well as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (collectively, the "Commissions"), which have jurisdiction with respect to the rates of electric and natural gas companies in the respective service territories where Sierra Pacific operates. Management has determined its regulated operations meet the requirements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to prepare its financial statements applying the specialized rules to account for the effects of cost-based rate regulation. Accounting for the economic effects of rate regulation has a pervasive effect on the financial statements.

Regulated rates are subject to regulatory rate-setting processes. Rates are determined, approved, and established based on a cost-of-service basis, which is designed to allow Sierra Pacific an opportunity to recover its prudently incurred costs of providing services and to earn a reasonable return on its invested capital. Regulatory decisions can have an effect on the recovery of costs, the rate of return earned on investment, and the timing and amount of assets to be recovered by rates. While Sierra Pacific Power Company has indicated it expects to recover costs from customers through regulated rates, there is a risk that changes to the Commissions' approach to setting rates or other regulatory actions could limit Sierra Pacific's ability to recover its costs.

We identified the effects of rate regulation on the financial statements as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgments made by management to support its assertions about certain affected account balances and disclosures and the high degree of subjectivity involved in assessing the impact of regulatory orders on the financial statements. Management judgments include assessing the likelihood of (1) recovery in future rates of incurred costs, (2) disallowance of part of the cost of recently completed plant or plant under construction, and (3) a refund to customers. Given that management's accounting judgments are based on assumptions about the outcome of decisions by the Commissions, auditing these judgments required specialized knowledge of accounting for rate regulation and the rate setting process due to its inherent complexities.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to the uncertainty of decisions by the Commissions included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated Sierra Pacific's disclosures related to the effects of rate regulation by testing certain recorded balances and evaluating regulatory developments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We read relevant regulatory orders issued by the Commissions, regulatory statutes, filings made by Sierra Pacific and other external information. We evaluated relevant external information and compared it to certain recorded regulatory asset and liability balances for completeness.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For certain regulatory matters, we inspected Sierra Pacific's filings with the Commissions and the filings with the Commissions by intervenors to assess the likelihood of recovery in future rates or of a future reduction in rates based on precedents of the Commissions' treatment of similar costs under similar circumstances.

**SIERRA PACIFIC POWER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

 **(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Organization and Operations**

Sierra Pacific Power Company and 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 based in Des Moines, Iowa that has investments in subsidiaries principally engaged in energy businesses. BHE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway").

**(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** 

*Basis of Consolidation and Presentation*

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Sierra Pacific and its subsidiaries in which it holds a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement date. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income have been omitted as net income equals comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

*Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements*

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, the effects of regulation; recovery of long-lived assets; certain assumptions made in accounting for pension and other postretirement benefits; asset retirement obligations ("AROs"); income taxes; unbilled revenue; valuation of certain financial assets and liabilities, including derivative contracts; and accounting for contingencies. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements.

*Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation*

Sierra Pacific prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with authoritative guidance for regulated operations, which recognizes the economic effects of regulation. Accordingly, Sierra Pacific defers the recognition of certain costs or income if it is probable that, through the ratemaking process, there will be a corresponding increase or decrease in future regulated rates. Regulatory assets and liabilities are established to reflect the impacts of these deferrals, which will be recognized in earnings in the periods the corresponding changes in regulated rates occur. If it becomes no longer probable that the deferred costs or income will be included in future regulated rates, the related regulatory assets and liabilities will be written off to net income, returned to customers or re-established as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI").

*Fair Value Measurements*

As defined under GAAP, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability between market participants in the principal market or in the most advantageous market when no principal market exists. Adjustments to transaction prices or quoted market prices may be required in illiquid or disorderly markets in order to estimate fair value. Different valuation techniques may be appropriate under the circumstances to determine the value that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction. Market participants are assumed to be independent, knowledgeable, able and willing to transact an exchange and not under duress. Nonperformance or credit risk is considered when determining fair value. Considerable judgment may be required in interpreting market data used to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current or future market exchange.

------

*Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash*

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 of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 December 31,** | **As of December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $5 | $17 |
| Restricted cash and cash equivalents included in other current assets | 5 | 7 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents | $10 | $24 |

---

*Allowance for Credit Losses*

Trade receivables are primarily short-term in nature with stated collection terms of less than one year from the date of origination and are stated at the outstanding principal amount, net of an estimated allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is based on Sierra Pacific's assessment of the collectability of amounts owed to Sierra Pacific by its customers. This assessment requires judgment regarding the ability of customers to pay or the outcome of any pending disputes. In measuring the allowance for credit losses for trade receivables, Sierra Pacific primarily utilizes credit loss history. However, Sierra Pacific may adjust the allowance for credit losses to reflect current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that deviate from historical experience. Sierra Pacific also has the ability to assess deposits on customers who have delayed payments or who are deemed to be a credit risk. The changes in the balance of the allowance for credit losses, which is included in trade receivables, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, is summarized as follows for the years ended December 31, (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Beginning balance | $4 | $3 | $2 |
| Charged to operating costs and expenses, net | 3 | 4 | 4 |
| Write-offs, net | (5) | (3) | (3) |
| Ending balance | $2 | $4 | $3 |

---

*Derivatives* 

Sierra Pacific employs a number of different derivative contracts, which may include forwards, futures, options, swaps and other agreements, to manage its commodity price and interest rate risks. 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. Derivative balances reflect offsetting permitted under master netting agreements with counterparties and cash collateral paid or received under such agreements.

Commodity derivatives used in normal business operations that are settled by physical delivery, among other criteria, are eligible for and may be designated as normal purchases or normal sales. Normal purchases or normal sales contracts are not marked-to-market and settled amounts are recognized as cost of fuel, energy and capacity or natural gas purchased for resale on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For Sierra Pacific's derivative contracts, the settled amount is generally included in regulated rates. Accordingly, the net unrealized gains and losses associated with interim price movements on contracts that are accounted for as derivatives and probable of inclusion in regulated rates are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities. For a derivative contract not probable of inclusion in rates, changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings.

------

*Inventories*

Inventories consist mainly of materials and supplies totaling $150 million and $129 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and fuel, which includes coal stock, stored natural gas and fuel oil, totaling $1 million and $32 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The cost is determined using the average cost method. Materials are charged to inventory when purchased and are expensed or capitalized to construction work in process, as appropriate, when used. Fuel costs are recovered from retail customers through the base tariff energy rates and deferred energy accounting adjustment charges approved by the PUCN.

*Property, Plant and Equipment, Net*

*General*

Additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Sierra Pacific capitalizes all construction-related material, direct labor and contract services, as well as indirect construction costs. Indirect construction costs include debt allowance for funds used during construction ("AFUDC"), and equity AFUDC, as applicable. The cost of additions and betterments are capitalized, while costs incurred that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the related assets are generally expensed. The cost of repairs and minor replacements are charged to expense when incurred with the exception of costs for generation plant maintenance under certain long-term service agreements. Costs under these agreements are expensed straight-line over the term of the agreements as approved by the PUCN.

Depreciation and amortization are generally computed by applying the composite or straight-line method based on either estimated useful lives or mandated recovery periods as prescribed by Sierra Pacific's various regulatory authorities. Depreciation studies are completed by Sierra Pacific to determine the appropriate group lives, net salvage and group depreciation rates. These studies are reviewed and rates are ultimately approved by the applicable regulatory commission. Net salvage includes the estimated future residual values of the assets and any estimated removal costs recovered through approved depreciation rates. Estimated removal costs are recorded as a noncurrent regulatory liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As actual removal costs are incurred, the associated liability is reduced.

Generally when Sierra Pacific retires or sells a component of regulated property, plant and equipment depreciated using the composite method, it charges the original cost, net of any proceeds from the disposition, to accumulated depreciation. Any gain or loss on disposals of all other assets is recorded through earnings with the exception of material gains or losses on regulated property, plant and equipment depreciated on a straight-line basis, which is then recorded to a regulatory liability or asset, respectively.

Debt and equity AFUDC, which represent the estimated costs of debt and equity funds necessary to finance the construction of regulated facilities, are capitalized as a component of property, plant and equipment, with offsetting credits to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The rate applied to construction costs is the lower of the PUCN allowed rate of return and rates computed based on guidelines set forth by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC"). After construction is completed, Sierra Pacific is permitted to earn a return on these costs as a component of the related assets, as well as recover these costs through depreciation expense over the useful lives of the related assets. Sierra Pacific's AFUDC rate used during 2025 and 2024 was 7.38% and 7.06%, respectively, for electric, 7.31% and 6.14%, respectively, for natural gas and 7.38% and 7.06%, respectively, for common facilities.

*Asset Retirement Obligations*

Sierra Pacific recognizes AROs when it has a legal obligation to perform decommissioning, reclamation or removal activities upon retirement of an asset. Sierra Pacific's AROs are primarily associated with its generating facilities. The fair value of an ARO liability is recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset, which is then depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the ARO liability is adjusted for any revisions to the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows (with corresponding adjustments to property, plant and equipment, net) and for accretion of the ARO liability due to the passage of time. The difference between the ARO liability, the corresponding ARO asset included in property, plant and equipment, net and amounts recovered in rates to satisfy such liabilities is recorded as a regulatory asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The costs are not recovered in rates until the work has been completed.

------

*Impairment*

Sierra Pacific evaluates long-lived assets for impairment, including property, plant and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable or when the assets are being held for sale. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the asset is reviewed to assess whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of the asset plus the residual value from the ultimate disposal exceeds the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amounts, the asset is written down to the estimated fair value and any resulting impairment loss is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As substantially all property, plant and equipment was used in regulated businesses, the impacts of regulation are considered when evaluating the carrying value of regulated assets.

*Leases*

Sierra Pacific has non-cancelable operating leases primarily for transmission and delivery assets, generating facilities, vehicles and office equipment and finance leases consisting primarily of transmission assets, generating facilities and vehicles. These leases generally require Sierra Pacific to pay for insurance, taxes and maintenance applicable to the leased property. Given the capital-intensive nature of the utility industry, it is common for a portion of lease costs to be capitalized when used during construction or maintenance of assets, in which the associated costs will be capitalized with the corresponding asset and depreciated over the remaining life of that asset. Certain leases contain renewal options for varying periods and escalation clauses for adjusting rent to reflect changes in price indices. Sierra Pacific does not include options in its lease calculations unless there is a triggering event indicating Sierra Pacific is reasonably certain to exercise the option. Sierra Pacific's accounting policy is to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease obligations for leases with contract terms of one year or less and not separate lease components from non-lease components and instead account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with a lease as a single lease component. Right-of-use assets are evaluated for impairment in line with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment" when a triggering event has occurred that might affect the value and use of the assets being leased.

Sierra Pacific's leases of generating facilities generally are for the long-term purchase of electric energy, also known as power purchase agreements ("PPA"). PPAs are generally signed before or during the early stages of project construction and can yield a lease that has not yet commenced. These agreements are primarily for renewable energy and the payments are considered variable lease payments as they are based on the amount of output.

Sierra Pacific's operating and finance right-of-use assets are recorded in other assets and the operating and current finance lease liabilities are recorded in current and long-term other liabilities accordingly.

*Revenue Recognition*

Sierra Pacific uses a single five-step model to identify and recognize revenue from contracts with customers ("Customer Revenue") upon transfer of control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which Sierra Pacific expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Sierra Pacific records sales, franchise and excise taxes collected directly from customers and remitted directly to the taxing authorities on a net basis on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Substantially all of Sierra Pacific's Customer Revenue is derived from tariff-based sales arrangements approved by various regulatory commissions. These tariff-based revenues are mainly comprised of energy, transmission, distribution and natural gas and have performance obligations to deliver energy products and services to customers which are satisfied over time as energy is delivered or services are provided. Other revenue consists primarily of revenue recognized in accordance with ASC 842, "Leases" and amounts not considered Customer Revenue within ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers."

Revenue recognized is equal to what Sierra Pacific has the right to invoice as it corresponds directly with the value to the customer of Sierra Pacific's performance to date and includes billed and unbilled amounts. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, trade receivables, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets relate substantially to Customer Revenue, including unbilled revenue of $75 million and $84 million, respectively. Payments for amounts billed are generally due from the customer within 30 days of billing. Rates charged for energy products and services are established by regulators or contractual arrangements that establish the transaction price as well as the allocation of price amongst the separate performance obligations. When preliminary regulated rates are permitted to be billed prior to final approval by the applicable regulator, certain revenue collected may be subject to refund and a liability for estimated refunds is accrued.

------

*Unamortized Debt Premiums, Discounts and Issuance Costs*

Premiums, discounts and financing costs incurred for the issuance of long-term debt are amortized over the term of the related financing using the effective interest method.

*Income Taxes*

Berkshire Hathaway includes Sierra Pacific in its consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. Consistent with established regulatory practice, Sierra Pacific's provision for income taxes has been computed on a stand-alone basis.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted income tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities associated with components of other comprehensive income ("OCI") are charged or credited directly to OCI. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities associated with certain property-related basis differences and other various differences that Sierra Pacific deems probable to be passed on to its customers are charged or credited directly to a regulatory asset or liability and will be included in regulated rates when the temporary differences reverse. Other changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities are included as a component of income tax expense. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities attributable to changes in enacted income tax rates are charged or credited to income tax expense or a regulatory asset or liability in the period of enactment. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more-likely-than-not to be realized.

Investment tax credits are deferred and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the related properties.

Sierra Pacific recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Sierra Pacific's unrecognized tax benefits are primarily included in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Estimated interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense (benefit) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

*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 adopted this guidance for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025, under the retrospective method. The adoption did not have a material impact on Sierra Pacific's Consolidated Financial Statements, but did expand the disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 9 for expanded rate reconciliation disclosures and disaggregation of income taxes paid.

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, as clarified in ASU 2025-01, 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.

------

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, Government Grants Topic 832, "Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities" which establishes accounting for government grants received by an entity, including guidance for a grant related to an asset and a grant related to income. This guidance also requires, consistent with current disclosure requirements, that an entity provide disclosures including the nature of the government grant received, the accounting policies used to account for the grant, and significant terms and conditions of the grant. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028. Early adoption is permitted and can be applied using either a modified prospective approach, a modified retrospective approach or a retrospective approach. 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.

All of Sierra Pacific's plant is subject to the ratemaking jurisdiction of the PUCN and the FERC. Sierra Pacific's depreciation and amortization expense, as authorized by the PUCN, stated as a percentage of the depreciable property balances as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was 2.7%, 3.1% and 3.3%, respectively. Sierra Pacific is required to file a utility plant depreciation study every six years as a companion filing with the triennial general rate review filings. The most recent study was filed in 2022 and the approved rates were effective January 1, 2023.

Construction work-in-progress is primarily related to the construction of regulated assets mainly related to the costs associated with the 400-MW solar photovoltaic facility with additional 400-MW of co-located battery storage being developed in Churchill County, Nevada and the Greenlink Nevada transmission expansion project that is being developed in western and northern Nevada.

*Operating and Finance Lease Obligations*

Sierra Pacific's operating and finance lease obligations consist mainly of ON Line and Truckee-Carson Irrigation District ("TCID"). ON Line was placed in-service on December 31, 2013. Sierra Pacific and Nevada Power, collectively the ("Nevada Utilities"), entered into a long-term transmission use agreement, in which the Nevada Utilities have a 25% interest and Great Basin Transmission South, LLC has a 75% interest. The Nevada Utilities' share of the long-term transmission use agreement and ownership interest is split at 75% for Nevada Power and 25% for Sierra Pacific. The term of the lease is 41 years with the agreement ending December 31, 2054. In 1999, Sierra Pacific entered into a 50-year agreement with TCID to lease electric distribution facilities. Total finance lease obligations of $109 million and $114 million were included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, for these leases. See Note 2 for further discussion of Sierra Pacific's remaining lease obligations.

**(6)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Regulatory Matters**

Sierra Pacific had regulatory assets not earning a return on investment of $149 million and $131 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The regulatory assets not earning a return on investment primarily consist of merger costs from the 1999 merger, a portion of the employee benefit plans, unrealized losses on regulated derivative contracts, AROs and losses on reacquired debt.

------

*Regulatory Liabilities*

Regulatory liabilities represent amounts that are expected to be returned to customers in future periods. Sierra Pacific's regulatory liabilities reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of the following as of December 31 (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Weighted**<br>**Average**<br>**Remaining Life** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Cost of removal<sup>(1)</sup> | 30 years | $207 | $216 |
| Deferred income taxes<sup>(2)</sup> | Various | 173 | 193 |
| Deferred energy costs | 1 year | 44 | 86 |
| Other | Various | 39 | 27 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total regulatory liabilities |  | $463 | $522 |
| Reflected as: |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Current liabilities |  | $72 | $106 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Noncurrent liabilities |  | 391 | 416 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total regulatory liabilities |  | $463 | $522 |

---

(1)Amounts represent estimated costs, as accrued through depreciation rates and exclusive of ARO liabilities, of removing regulated property, plant and equipment in accordance with accepted regulatory practices.

(2)Amounts primarily represent income tax liabilities related to the federal tax rate change from 35% to 21% that are probable to be passed on to customers, offset by income tax benefits related to accelerated tax depreciation and certain property-related basis differences and other various differences that were previously passed on to customers and will be included in regulated rates when the temporary differences reverse.

*Deferred Energy*

Nevada statutes permit regulated utilities to adopt deferred energy accounting procedures. The intent of these procedures is to ease the effect on customers of fluctuations in the cost of purchased natural gas, fuel and electricity and are subject to annual prudency review by the PUCN. Under deferred energy accounting, to the extent actual fuel and purchased power costs exceed fuel and purchased power costs recoverable through current rates that excess is not recorded as a current expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations but rather is deferred and recorded as a regulatory asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and would be included in the regulatory assets table above as deferred energy costs. Conversely, a regulatory liability is recorded to the extent fuel and purchased power costs recoverable through current rates exceed actual fuel and purchased power costs and is included in the regulatory liabilities table above as deferred energy costs. These excess amounts are reflected in quarterly adjustments to rates and recorded as cost of fuel, energy and capacity in future time periods.

*Regulatory Rate Review*

In February 2024, Sierra Pacific filed electric and gas regulatory rate reviews with the PUCN that requested annual revenue increases of $95 million, or 8.8% and $11 million, or 4.9%, respectively. Sierra Pacific filed the certification filing that updated the electric and gas filings to requested annual revenue increases of $96 million, or 9.5% and $12 million, or 6.4%, respectively. Hearings in the cost of capital phase were held in June 2024 and the hearings for the revenue requirement phase were held in July 2024. The hearings in the rate design phase were held in August 2024. In September 2024, the PUCN issued an order approving an increase in base rates for electric of $40 million and for gas of $8 million. In October 2024, Sierra Pacific filed a petition for reconsideration and clarification of the order. In November 2024, the PUCN issued a final order approving in part and denying in part the petition for reconsideration.

------

*Wildfire Self-Insurance Policy Filing*

In January 2025, Sierra Pacific filed an application for approval of the establishment and associated cost recovery of a Wildfire Self-Insurance Policy. In the application, Sierra Pacific request that the PUCN issue an order determining that it is reasonable and prudent for the Nevada Utilities to establish a $500 million wildfire self-insurance policy (the "Policy") in order to have additional wildfire liability insurance in place in the event that a catastrophic wildfire in Nevada is alleged to be caused or exacerbated by utility equipment. The Policy would provide $500 million in additional coverage for the Nevada Utilities for third-party claims, and it would be in excess to the commercial wildfire liability insurance that the Nevada Utilities possess. In addition, the application requests approval to collect the costs for the Policy in rates over a ten-year period. Hearings before the Commission concluded in June 2025. In July 2025, the PUCN issued an order that approved the application in part and denied the application in part. The PUCN found that $1.0-$1.5 billion in insurance coverage is a prudent range for the Nevada Utilities based on its wildfire risk profile and that the Nevada Utilities sufficiently supported its initial request for an additional $500 million of excess insurance. However, the PUCN also determined that additional information is necessary to assess whether the self-insurance policy proposed by the Nevada Utilities is prudent under the circumstances and reasonable considering other options, if any. The Nevada Utilities filed the additional information requested by the PUCN in October 2025. The PUCN has set a hearing in April 2026 to assess the prudency of self-insurance.

**(7)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Short-term Debt and Credit Facilities**

Sierra Pacific has a $400 million secured credit facility expiring in June 2028 with an unlimited number of maturity extension options, subject to lender consent. The credit facility, which is for general corporate purposes and provides for the issuance of letters of credit, has a variable interest rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate or a base rate, at Sierra Pacific's option, plus a spread that varies based on Sierra Pacific's credit ratings for its senior secured long-term debt securities. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Sierra Pacific had no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility. Amounts due under Sierra Pacific's credit facility are collateralized by Sierra Pacific's general and refunding mortgage bonds. The credit facility requires Sierra Pacific's ratio of debt, including current maturities, to total capitalization not exceed 0.65 to 1.0 as of the last day of each quarter.

As of both December 31, 2025 and 2024, Sierra Pacific had $50 million of letter of credit capacity under its $400 million secured credit facility, of which no amount was outstanding.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has closed or effectively settled its examination of Sierra Pacific's income tax return through the short year ended December 31, 2014. The closure of examinations, or the expiration of the statute of limitations, may not preclude the U.S. Internal Revenue Service from adjusting the federal net operating loss carryforward utilized in a year for which the statute of limitations is not closed.

**(10)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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. Sierra Pacific did not make any contributions to the Qualified Pension Plan for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Sierra Pacific contributed $1 million to the Non-Qualified Pension Plans for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Sierra Pacific contributed $— million, $3 million and $3 million to the Other Post Retirement Plans for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 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.

**(11)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Asset Retirement Obligations** 

Sierra Pacific estimates its ARO liabilities based upon detailed engineering calculations of the amount and timing of the future cash spending for a third party to perform the required work. Spending estimates are escalated for inflation and then discounted at a credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. Changes in estimates could occur for a number of reasons, including changes in laws and regulations, plan revisions, inflation and changes in the amount and timing of the expected work.

Sierra Pacific does not recognize liabilities for AROs for which the fair value cannot be reasonably estimated. Due to the indeterminate removal date, the fair value of the associated liabilities on certain generation, transmission, distribution and other assets cannot currently be estimated, and no amounts are recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements other than those included in the cost of removal regulatory liability established via approved depreciation rates in accordance with accepted regulatory practices. These accruals totaled $207 million and $216 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The following table presents Sierra Pacific's ARO liabilities by asset type as of December 31 (in millions):

Certain of Sierra Pacific's decommissioning and reclamation obligations relate to jointly-owned facilities. Sierra Pacific is committed to pay a proportionate share of the decommissioning or reclamation costs. In the event of a default by any of the other joint participants, the respective subsidiary may be obligated to absorb, directly or by paying additional sums to the entity, a proportionate share of the defaulting party's liability. Sierra Pacific's estimated share of the decommissioning and reclamation obligations are primarily recorded as ARO liabilities in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In May 2024, the United States Environmental Protection Agency published its final rule on legacy coal combustion residuals ("CCR") surface impoundments and CCR management units ("CCRMUs") in the Federal Register. CCRMUs include CCR surface impoundments and landfills closed before October 19, 2015 and inactive CCR landfills. The final rule contains three main components: (1) a definition for legacy CCR surface impoundments, which are inactive surface impoundments at inactive generating facilities that must adhere to the same regulations as inactive CCR impoundments at active generating facilities, barring location restrictions and liner design criteria, with customized compliance deadlines; (2) groundwater monitoring, corrective action, closure, and post closure care requirements for CCRMUs, which may be located at active generating facilities and inactive generating facilities with a legacy CCR surface impoundment; and (3) the owners and operators of inactive generating facilities must identify the presence of legacy CCR surface impoundments and comply with all rule requirements for surface impoundments; and the owners and operators of active generating facilities and inactive generating facilities with a legacy CCR surface impoundment must prepare Facility Evaluation Reports ("FERs") that identify and describe the CCRMUs and determine whether closure is required. In February 2026, the EPA extended certain compliance deadlines with CCRMUs. Accordingly, and in a manner consistent with existing CCR rules, owners and operators must publish FERs on their CCR websites in two parts, within 12 months (Part 1) and 24 months (Part 2) of the final rule's effective date in February 2026. Sierra Pacific is currently evaluating the final rule and does not anticipate identifying any legacy surface impoundments, but does anticipate that it may identify CCRMUs subject to the rule. Due to the number of site investigations warranted by this rule and the nature of engineering and other studies required at each site, Sierra Pacific is unable to reasonably estimate the potential impact, which may be material, to its asset retirement obligations.

**(12)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**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 Notes 2 and 13 for additional information on derivative contracts.

(1)Sierra Pacific's commodity derivatives not designated as hedging contracts are included in regulated rates. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, a regulatory asset of $11 million and $13 million, respectively, was recorded related to the net derivative liability of $11 million and $13 million, respectively.

*Derivative Contract Volumes*

The following table summarizes the net notional amounts of outstanding commodity derivative contracts with fixed price terms that comprise the mark-to-market values as of December 31 (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Unit of**<br>**Measure** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Electricity purchases | Megawatt hours | 1 | 1 |
| Natural gas purchases | Decatherms | 75 | 57 |

---

*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 December 31, 2025, Sierra Pacific's credit ratings for its senior secured debt and its issuer credit ratings for subordinated 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 $1 million and $— million as of December 31, 2025 and 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. 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.

**(13)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 Balance Sheets 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Input Levels for Fair Value Measurements** | **Input Levels for Fair Value Measurements** | **Input Levels for Fair Value Measurements** | |
| | **Level 1** | **Level 2** | **Level 3** |<br>**Total** |

| **Assets:** | | | | |
| Commodity derivatives | $— | $— | $1 | $1 |
| Money market mutual funds | 14 |  |  | 14 |

|  | $13 | $— | $1 | $14 |
| **Liabilities - commodity derivatives** | $— | $— | $(14) | $(14) |

---

Sierra Pacific's investments in money market mutual funds and investment funds are accounted for as available-for-sale securities and 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 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 December 31, 2025, 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.

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of Sierra Pacific's net commodity derivative assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant Level 3 inputs for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

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 its current and future operations. Sierra Pacific believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

*Accrual for Customer Refund*

In 2025, Sierra Pacific recorded an accrual totaling $14 million in connection with a potential customer refund arising from an ongoing regulatory proceeding. The estimated accrual is based on currently available information to date and Sierra Pacific believes it is probable that losses will be incurred associated with the ongoing regulatory proceeding which reflects Sierra Pacific's commitment to transparency and regulatory compliance. Sierra Pacific filed an Offer of Compromise with the PUCN in January 2026 to settle the regulatory proceeding, inclusive of the amount accrued in 2025, that was accepted by the PUCN in February 2026.

*Legal Matters*

Sierra Pacific is party to a variety of legal actions arising out of the normal course of business. Sierra Pacific does not believe that such normal and routine litigation will have a material impact on its consolidated financial results.

**(18)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Segment Information** 

Sierra Pacific'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, and state regulatory ratemaking results as well as unique risks and opportunities, when making decisions about the allocation of resources and capital to each reportable segment.

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 7.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**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 Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Eastern Energy Gas' actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.

**Results of Operations**

<u>Overview</u>

Net income attributable to Eastern Energy Gas for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $579 million, a decrease of $12 million, or 2%, compared to 2024, primarily due to an increase in interest expense, partially offset by higher margin from regulated gas transmission and storage operations of $37 million and higher earnings from Cove Point of $23 million, largely due to an increase in variable revenue.

Net income attributable to Eastern Energy Gas for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $591 million, an increase of $117 million, or 25%, compared to 2023, primarily due to higher earnings from Cove Point of $151 million, largely due to the acquisition of an additional 50% limited partner interest in Cove Point, partially offset by one-time favorable income tax adjustments recorded in 2023 as a result of the acquisition of an additional 50% limited partner interest in Cove Point.

<u>Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2024</u> 

*Operating revenue* increased $81 million, or 4%, for 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to an increase in Cove Point LNG variable revenue of $55 million, an increase in EGTS' regulated gas transmission and storage services revenues of $22 million primarily due to additional capacity contracts, an increase in CGT's regulated gas transmission service revenues primarily due to additional capacity contracts of $10 million and the settlement of its general rate case of $8 million and an increase in services provided to affiliates of $6 million, partially offset by a decrease in Cove Point's storage-related service revenues of $7 million, a decrease in variable revenue related to park and loan activity of $5 million and a decrease in regulated gas sales for operational and system balancing purposes primarily due to decreased volumes of $5 million.

*Cost of gas* decreased $6 million, or 86%, for 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to a decrease in volumes sold.

*Operations and maintenance* increased $7 million, or 1%, for 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to an increase in charges from affiliates of $12 million and an increase in services provided to affiliates of $6 million, partially offset by a gain from the sale of a compressor unit to Northern Natural Gas of $5 million and lower salary and benefit expenses of $3 million.

*Depreciation and amortization* increased $14 million, or 4%, for 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher plant placed in-service of $11 million and the settlement of depreciation rates in CGT's general rate case of $3 million.

*Interest expense* increased $80 million, or 57%, for 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to the issuances of $1.2 billion of long-term debt in the first quarter of 2025 of $69 million and timing impacts and higher interest rates on $1.0 billion of long-term debt refinanced during 2024 of $18 million, partially offset by lower lending activity under BHE GT&S' intercompany revolving credit agreement of $8 million.

*Interest and dividend income* increased $8 million, or 57%, for 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher lending activity under BHE GT&S' intercompany revolving credit agreement of $12 million, partially offset by a decrease in income from money market mutual fund investments of $4 million.

*Income tax expense* decreased $28 million, or 14%, for 2025 compared to 2024. The effective tax rate was 21% and 24% for 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $28 million decrease was primarily due to favorable state income tax adjustments and lower equity earnings.

*Equity income* decreased $22 million, or 31%, for 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 7%, for 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher net income attributable to Cove Point.

------

<u>Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2023</u>

*Operating revenue* decreased $48 million, or 2%, for 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to a decrease in Cove Point's storage-related revenues of $22 million, a decrease in EGTS' variable revenue related to park and loan activity of $18 million, a decrease in regulated gas sales for operational and system balancing purposes due to decreased prices and volumes of $15 million, a decrease in Cove Point LNG variable revenue of $7 million, a decrease in Cove Point's regulated gas transmission service revenues due to decreased prices and volumes of $5 million and a decrease in services provided to affiliates of $5 million, partially offset by an increase in EGTS' regulated gas transmission and storage services revenues of $17 million primarily due to additional capacity contracts and an increase in CGT's regulated gas transmission service revenues of $12 million primarily due to the settlement of its general rate case.

*Cost of gas* decreased $31 million, or 82%, for 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to the unfavorable revaluation of volumes retained in 2023.

*Operations and maintenance* decreased $17 million, or 3%, for 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to lower technology and related charges of $19 million, lower outside services of $9 million due to the termination of Dominion Energy Inc.'s transition services agreement and a decrease in services provided to affiliates of $5 million, partially offset by a gain in 2023 from an agreement to convey development rights underneath one of its natural gas storage fields of $8 million and an increase in salary and benefit expenses of $4 million.

*Depreciation and amortization* increased $14 million, or 4%, for 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to higher plant placed in-service of $9 million and the settlement of depreciation rates in CGT's general rate case of $5 million.

*Interest expense* decreased $5 million, or 3%, for 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to the repayments of $650 million of long-term debt during 2023 of $17 million, partially offset by timing impacts and higher interest rates on $1.0 billion of long-term debt re-financed during 2024 of $8 million and higher lending activity under BHE GT&S' intercompany revolving credit agreement of $4 million.

*Interest and dividend income* decreased $16 million, or 53%, for 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to lower lending activity under BHE GT&S' intercompany revolving credit agreement.

*Income tax expense* increased $90 million, or 82%, for 2024 compared to 2023. The effective tax rate was 24% and 13% for 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $90 million increase was primarily due to less benefit from non-controlling interest from the ownership of 75% of the limited partner interests in Cove Point for the full year 2024 and a one-time favorable state adjustments of $26 million recorded in 2023, both as a result of the acquisition of an additional 50% limited partner interest in Cove Point on September 1, 2023.

*Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests* decreased $226 million, or 63%, for 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to the acquisition of an additional 50% limited partner interest in Cove Point.

Refer to Note 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion regarding Eastern Energy Gas' intercompany revolving credit agreement.

------

Eastern Energy Gas' future financial performance and capital expenditures related to certain projects may be affected by the combined effects of ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including changes in international trade policies and tariff regimes. The pace of change in these areas accelerated during 2025, and uncertainty persists regarding the scope and duration of these external factors. However, Eastern Energy Gas currently does not believe these items and any resulting changes to future capital project allocations will significantly impact its business in the near term.

<u>Operating Activities</u>

Net cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. The change was primarily due to lower distributions from Iroquois and higher cash paid for interest, partially offset by other working capital adjustments.

Net cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. The change was primarily due to the repayment of EGTS rate refunds to customers in 2023, the settlement of contract liabilities in 2023 and other changes in working capital, partially offset by unfavorable operating results.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

Net cash flows from investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $(866) million and $(372) million, respectively. The change was primarily due to a decrease in repayments of notes by its parent under an intercompany revolving credit agreement of $288 million and an increase in notes issued to its parent under an intercompany revolving credit agreement of $225 million, partially offset by an increase in proceeds from sales of marketable securities of $8 million and a decrease in capital expenditures of $6 million.

Net cash flows from investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $(372) million and $177 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to a decrease in repayments of notes by its parent under an intercompany revolving credit agreement of $429 million, an increase in notes issued to its parent under an intercompany revolving credit agreement of $107 million, an increase in capital expenditures of $11 million and proceeds from the assignment of shale development rights in 2023 of $8 million.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

Net cash flows from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $(299) million. Sources of cash totaled $1.2 billion and consisted of proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt. Uses of cash totaled $1.5 billion and consisted of distributions to its indirect parent, BHE, of $1.3 billion and distributions to noncontrolling interests from Cove Point of $167 million.

Net cash flows from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $(925) million. Sources of cash totaled $1.0 billion and consisted of proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt. Uses of cash totaled $2.0 billion and consisted of repayments of long-term debt of $1.1 billion, net repayment of notes payable to affiliates of $400 million, distributions to its indirect parent, BHE, of $361 million and distributions to noncontrolling interests from Cove Point of $155 million.

Net cash flows from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $(1.4) billion. Sources of cash totaled $3.3 billion and consisted of proceeds from equity contributions to fund the purchase of Cove Point noncontrolling interest of $2.9 billion and net issuance of notes payable to affiliates of $400 million. Uses of cash totaled $4.7 billion and consisted of $3.3 billion for the purchase of Cove Point noncontrolling interest, repayment of long-term debt of $650 million, distributions to noncontrolling interests from Cove Point of $388 million and distributions to its indirect parent, BHE, of $332 million.

------

*Long-term Debt*

Eastern Energy Gas currently has an effective shelf registration statement filed with the SEC to issue an additional $400 million of long-term debt securities through January 2027.

<u>Future Uses of Cash</u>

*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 customers' 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, for the years ending December 31 are as follows (in millions):

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Historical** | **Historical** | **Historical** | **Forecast** | **Forecast** | **Forecast** |
| | **2023** | **2024** | **2025** | **2026** | **2027** | **2028** |
| Natural gas transmission and storage | $23 | $64 | $62 | $115 | $258 | $605 |
| Other | 342 | 312 | 308 | 420 | 240 | 276 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $365 | $376 | $370 | $535 | $498 | $881 |

---

Eastern Energy Gas' natural gas transmission and storage capital expenditures primarily include growth capital expenditures related to planned regulated projects. Eastern Energy Gas' other capital expenditures consist primarily of nonregulated and routine capital expenditures for natural gas transmission, storage and LNG terminalling infrastructure needed to serve existing and expected demand.

<u>Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements</u>

Eastern Energy Gas has certain investments that are accounted for under the equity method in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, an amount is recorded on Eastern Energy Gas' Consolidated Balance Sheets as an equity investment and is increased or decreased for Eastern Energy Gas' pro-rata share of earnings or losses, respectively, less any dividends from such investments.

As of December 31, 2025, Eastern Energy Gas' investments that are accounted for under the equity method had short- and long-term debt of $295 million and an unused revolving credit facility of $10 million. As of December 31, 2025, Eastern Energy Gas' pro-rata share of such short- and long-term debt was $148 million and unused revolving credit facility was $5 million. The entire amount of Eastern Energy Gas' pro-rata share of the outstanding short- and long-term debt and unused revolving credit facility is non-recourse to Eastern Energy Gas. Although Eastern Energy Gas is generally not required to support debt service obligations of its equity investees, default with respect to this non-recourse short- and long-term debt could result in a loss of invested equity.

(1)Not reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In addition, Eastern Energy Gas also has cash requirements that may affect its consolidated financial condition that arise from long-term debt (refer to Note 8), construction and other development costs (refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources included within this Item 7), uncertain tax positions (refer to Note 9) and AROs (refer to Note 11). Refer, where applicable, to the respective referenced note in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

**Regulatory Matters**

Eastern Energy Gas is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to the discussion contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-K for further information regarding Eastern Energy Gas' general regulatory framework and 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 consolidated financial results.

Refer to "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Item 1 of this Form 10-K for further discussion regarding environmental laws and regulations.

**Collateral and Contingent Features**

Debt of Eastern Energy Gas is rated by credit rating agencies. Assigned credit ratings are based on each rating agency's assessment of Eastern Energy Gas' ability to, in general, meet the obligations of its issued debt. The credit ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and there is no assurance that a particular credit rating will continue for any given period of time.

Eastern Energy Gas has no credit rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity dates of outstanding debt, and a change in ratings is not an event of default under the applicable debt instruments.

------

**Inflation**

Historically, overall inflation and changing prices in the economies where Eastern Energy Gas operates have not had a significant impact on Eastern Energy Gas' consolidated financial results. Eastern Energy Gas and its subsidiaries primarily operate under cost-of-service based rate-setting structures administered by the FERC. Under these rate-setting structures, Eastern Energy Gas is allowed to include prudent costs in its rates, including the impact of inflation. Eastern Energy Gas attempts to minimize the potential impact of inflation on its operations by employing prudent risk management and hedging strategies and by considering, among other areas, its impact on purchases of energy, operating expenses, materials and equipment costs, contract negotiations, future capital spending programs and long-term debt issuances. There can be no assurance that such actions will be successful.

**New Accounting Pronouncements**

For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements affecting Eastern Energy Gas, refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

**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. The following critical accounting estimates are impacted significantly by Eastern Energy Gas' methods, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with Eastern Energy Gas' Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Eastern Energy Gas' Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

*Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation*

Eastern Energy Gas prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with authoritative guidance for regulated operations, which recognizes the economic effects of regulation. Accordingly, Eastern Energy Gas defers the recognition of certain costs or income if it is probable that, through the ratemaking process, there will be a corresponding increase or decrease in future regulated rates. Regulatory assets and liabilities are established to reflect the impacts of these deferrals, which will be recognized in earnings in the periods the corresponding changes in regulated rates occur.

Eastern Energy Gas continually evaluates the applicability of the guidance for regulated operations and whether its regulatory assets and liabilities are probable of inclusion in future regulated rates by considering factors such as a change in the regulator's approach to setting rates from cost-based ratemaking to another form of regulation, other regulatory actions or the impact of competition that could limit Eastern Energy Gas' ability to recover its costs. Eastern Energy Gas believes its application of the guidance for regulated operations is appropriate and its existing regulatory assets and liabilities are probable of inclusion in future regulated rates. The evaluation reflects the current political and regulatory climate at the federal level. If it becomes no longer probable that the deferred costs or income will be included in future regulated rates, the related regulatory assets and liabilities will be recognized in net income, returned to customers or re-established as AOCI. Total regulatory assets were $74 million and total regulatory liabilities were $666 million as of December 31, 2025. Refer to Eastern Energy Gas' Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding Eastern Energy Gas' regulatory assets and liabilities.

*Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets*

Eastern Energy Gas' Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025 includes goodwill of acquired businesses of $1.3 billion. Eastern Energy Gas evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually and completed its annual review as of October 31, 2025. Additionally, no indicators of impairment were identified as of December 31, 2025. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of the reporting unit and performing goodwill impairment tests. Eastern Energy Gas uses a variety of methods to estimate a reporting unit's fair value, principally discounted projected future net cash flows. Key assumptions used include, but are not limited to, the use of estimated future cash flows; multiples of earnings; and an appropriate discount rate. Estimated future cash flows are impacted by, among other factors, growth rates, changes in regulations and rates, ability to renew contracts and estimates of future commodity prices. In estimating future cash flows, Eastern Energy Gas incorporates current market information, as well as historical factors.

------

Eastern Energy Gas evaluates long-lived assets for impairment, including property, plant and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable or when the assets are being held for sale. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the asset is reviewed to assess whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of the asset plus the residual value from the ultimate disposal exceeds the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amounts, the asset is written down to the estimated fair value and any resulting impairment loss is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a majority of all property, plant and equipment is used in regulated businesses, the impacts of regulation are considered when evaluating the carrying value of regulated assets.

The estimate of cash flows arising from the future use of an asset, for the purposes of impairment analysis, requires the exercise of judgment. Circumstances that could significantly alter the calculation of fair value or the recoverable amount of an asset may include significant changes in the regulatory environment, the business climate, management's plans, legal factors, market price of the asset, the use of the asset, the physical condition of the asset, future market prices, competition and many other factors over the life of the asset. Any resulting impairment loss is highly dependent on the underlying assumptions and could significantly affect Eastern Energy Gas' results of operations.

*Income Taxes*

In determining Eastern Energy Gas' income taxes, management is required to interpret complex income tax laws and regulations, which includes consideration of regulatory implications imposed by the FERC. Eastern Energy Gas' income tax returns are subject to continuous examinations by federal, state and local income tax authorities that may give rise to different interpretations of these complex laws and regulations. Due to the nature of the examination process, it generally takes years before these examinations are completed and these matters are resolved. Eastern Energy Gas recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Although the ultimate resolution of Eastern Energy Gas' federal, state and local income tax examinations is uncertain, Eastern Energy Gas believes it has made adequate provisions for these income tax positions. The aggregate amount of any additional income tax liabilities that may result from these examinations is not expected to have a material impact on Eastern Energy Gas' consolidated financial results. Refer to Eastern Energy Gas' Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding Eastern Energy Gas' income taxes.

It is probable that Eastern Energy Gas will pass income tax benefit and expense related to the federal tax rate change from 35% to 21%, certain property-related basis differences and other various differences on to their customers. As of December 31, 2025, these amounts were recognized as a net regulatory liability of $404 million and will be included in regulated rates when the temporary differences reverse.

**Item 7A.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

Eastern Energy Gas' Consolidated Balance Sheets include assets and liabilities with fair values that are subject to market risks. Eastern Energy Gas' significant market risks are primarily associated with interest rates, foreign currency and the extension of credit to counterparties with which Eastern Energy Gas transacts. The following discussion addresses the significant market risks associated with Eastern Energy Gas' business activities. Eastern Energy Gas has established guidelines for credit risk management. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding Eastern Energy Gas' contracts accounted for as derivatives.

<u>Interest Rate Risk</u>

Eastern Energy Gas is exposed to interest rate risk on its outstanding variable-rate short- and long-term debt and future debt issuances. Eastern Energy Gas 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. As a result of the fixed interest rates, Eastern Energy Gas' fixed-rate long-term debt does not expose Eastern Energy Gas to the risk of loss due to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, because fixed-rate long-term debt is not carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, changes in fair value would impact earnings and cash flows only if Eastern Energy Gas were to reacquire all or a portion of these instruments prior to their maturity. The nature and amount of Eastern Energy Gas' short- and long-term debt can be expected to vary from period to period as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. Refer to Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion of Eastern Energy Gas' long-term debt.

------

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Eastern Energy Gas had no short- and long-term variable-rate obligations that expose Eastern Energy Gas to the risk of increased interest expense in the event of increases in short-term interest rates.

Eastern Energy Gas holds foreign currency swaps with the purpose of hedging the foreign currency exchange risk associated with Euro denominated debt. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Eastern Energy Gas had €250 million in aggregate notional amounts of these foreign currency swaps outstanding. A hypothetical 10% decrease in market interest rates would not have resulted in a material decrease in fair value of Eastern Energy Gas' foreign currency swaps as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The impact of a change in interest rates on the Eastern Energy Gas' interest rate-based financial derivative instruments at a point in time is not necessarily representative of the results that will be realized when the contracts are ultimately settled. Net gains and/or losses from interest rate derivative instruments used for hedging purposes, to the extent realized, will generally be offset by recognition of the hedged transaction.

Eastern Energy Gas is exposed to counterparty credit risk associated with natural gas transmission and storage service contracts with utilities, natural gas producers, power generators, industrials, energy marketing companies, financial institutions and other market participants. Credit risk may be concentrated to the extent Eastern Energy Gas' counterparties have similar economic, industry or other characteristics and due to direct and indirect relationships among the counterparties. Before entering into a transaction, Eastern Energy Gas analyzes the financial condition of each 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 counterparty credit risk, Eastern Energy Gas obtains third-party guarantees, letters of credit, financial guarantee bonds and cash deposits. If required, Eastern Energy Gas exercises rights under these arrangements, including calling on the counterparty's credit support arrangement.

Eastern Energy Gas' gross credit exposure for each counterparty is calculated as outstanding receivables plus any unrealized on- or off-balance sheet exposure, taking into account contractual netting rights. Gross credit exposure is calculated prior to the application of collateral. As of December 31, 2025, Eastern Energy Gas' credit exposure totaled $35 million. Of this amount, investment grade counterparties, including those internally rated, represented 100%, and no single counterparty exceeded $10 million of the credit exposure.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Board of Directors of Eastern Energy Gas Holdings, LLC

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eastern Energy Gas Holdings, LLC and subsidiaries ("Eastern Energy Gas") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eastern Energy Gas as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of Eastern Energy Gas' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Eastern Energy Gas' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Eastern Energy Gas is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Eastern Energy Gas' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matter** 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the Board of Directors and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

**Regulatory Matters — Effects of Rate Regulation on the Financial Statements — Refer to Notes 2 and 6 to the Financial Statements**

*Critical Audit Matter Description* 

Eastern Energy Gas, through its subsidiaries, is subject to rate regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the "FERC"), which has jurisdiction with respect to the rates of interstate natural gas transmission companies in the respective service territories where Eastern Energy Gas operates. Management has determined its regulated operations meet the requirements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to prepare its financial statements applying the specialized rules to account for the effects of cost-based rate regulation. Accounting for the economic effects of rate regulation has a pervasive effect on the financial statements.

------

Revenue provided by the Eastern Energy Gas interstate natural gas transmission operations is based primarily on rates approved by the FERC. Eastern Energy Gas defers the recognition of certain costs or income if it is probable that, through the ratemaking process, there will be a corresponding increase or decrease in future regulated rates. Regulatory assets and liabilities are established to reflect the impacts of these deferrals, which will be recognized in earnings in the periods the corresponding changes in regulated rates occur. Eastern Energy Gas continually evaluates the applicability of the guidance for regulated operations and whether its regulatory assets and liabilities are probable of inclusion in future rates by considering factors such as a change in the regulator's approach to setting rates from cost-based ratemaking to another form of regulation, other regulatory actions or the impact of competition that could limit Eastern Energy Gas' ability to recover its costs. The evaluation reflects the current political and regulatory climate. If it becomes no longer probable that the deferred costs or income will be included in future regulated rates, the regulatory assets and liabilities will be recognized in net income, returned to customers, or re-established as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

We identified the effects of rate regulation on the financial statements as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgments made by management to support its assertions about affected account balances and disclosures and the high degree of subjectivity involved in assessing the impact of regulatory orders on the financial statements. Management judgments include assessing the likelihood of (1) recovery in future rates of incurred costs, (2) a disallowance of part of the cost of recently completed plant or plant under construction, and (3) a refund to customers. Given that management's accounting judgments are based on assumptions about the outcome of decisions by the FERC, auditing these judgments required specialized knowledge of accounting for rate regulation and the rate setting process due to its inherent complexities.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to the uncertainty of decisions by the FERC included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated Eastern Energy Gas' disclosures related to the effects of rate regulation by testing recorded balances and evaluating regulatory developments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We read relevant regulatory orders issued by the FERC, regulatory statutes, filings made by Eastern Energy Gas and other external information. We evaluated relevant external information and compared it to certain recorded regulatory asset and liability balances for completeness.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For certain regulatory matters, we inspected Eastern Energy Gas' filings with the FERC, and the filings with the FERC by intervenors to assess the likelihood of recovery in future rates or of a future reduction in rates based on precedents of the FERC's treatment of similar costs under similar circumstances.

**EASTERN ENERGY GAS HOLDINGS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(1)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Organization and Operations**

Eastern Energy Gas Holdings, LLC is a holding company, and together with its subsidiaries ("Eastern Energy Gas") conducts business activities consisting of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC")-regulated interstate natural gas transmission systems and underground storage operations in the eastern region of the U.S. and operates Cove Point LNG, LP ("Cove Point"), a liquefied natural gas ("LNG") export, import and storage facility. Eastern Energy Gas holds 100% of the general partner interest and 75% of the limited partner interests of Cove Point. In addition, Eastern Energy Gas holds a 50% noncontrolling interest in Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P. ("Iroquois"), a 414-mile FERC-regulated interstate natural gas transmission system. Eastern Energy Gas is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company ("BHE"). BHE is a holding company based in Des Moines, Iowa that has investments in subsidiaries principally engaged in energy businesses. BHE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway").

**(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

*Basis of Consolidation and Presentation*

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Eastern Energy Gas and its subsidiaries in which it holds a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement date. Eastern Energy Gas consolidates variable interest entities ("VIE") in which it possesses both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

*Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements*

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, the effects of regulation; impairment of goodwill; recovery of long-lived assets; certain assumptions made in accounting for pension and other postretirement benefits; asset retirement obligations ("AROs"); income taxes; unbilled revenue; valuation of certain financial assets and liabilities, including derivative contracts; and accounting for contingencies. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements.

*Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation*

Eastern Energy Gas prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with authoritative guidance for regulated operations, which recognizes the economic effects of regulation. Accordingly, Eastern Energy Gas defers the recognition of certain costs or income if it is probable that, through the ratemaking process, there will be a corresponding increase or decrease in future regulated rates. Regulatory assets and liabilities are established to reflect the impacts of these deferrals, which will be recognized in earnings in the periods the corresponding changes in regulated rates occur.

If it becomes no longer probable that the deferred costs or income will be included in future regulated rates, the related regulatory assets and liabilities will be recognized in net income, returned to customers or re-established as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI").

*Fair Value Measurements*

As defined under GAAP, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability between market participants in the principal market or in the most advantageous market when no principal market exists. Adjustments to transaction prices or quoted market prices may be required in illiquid or disorderly markets in order to estimate fair value. Alternative valuation techniques may be appropriate under the circumstances to determine the value that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction. Market participants are assumed to be independent, knowledgeable, able and willing to transact an exchange and not under duress. Nonperformance or credit risk is considered when determining fair value. Considerable judgment may be required in interpreting market data used to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current or future market exchange.

------

*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 customer deposits as allowed under the FERC gas tariffs. A reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 December 31,** | **As of December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $80 | $34 |
| Restricted cash and cash equivalents included in other current assets | 33 | 27 |
| Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents | $113 | $61 |

---

*Investments*

Trading securities are carried at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings.

*Equity Method Investments*

Eastern Energy Gas utilizes the equity method of accounting with respect to investments when it possesses the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial policies of the investee. The ability to exercise significant influence is presumed when the investor possesses more than 20% of the voting interests of the investee. This presumption may be overcome based on specific facts and circumstances that demonstrate that the ability to exercise significant influence is restricted. In applying the equity method, Eastern Energy Gas records the investment at cost and subsequently increases or decreases the carrying value of the investment by Eastern Energy Gas' share of the net earnings or losses and other comprehensive income ("OCI") of the investee. Eastern Energy Gas records dividends or other equity distributions as reductions in the carrying value of the investment.

*Allowance for Credit Losses*

Trade receivables are primarily short-term in nature with stated collection terms of less than one year from the date of origination and are stated at the outstanding principal amount, net of an estimated allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is based on Eastern Energy Gas' assessment of the collectability of amounts owed to Eastern Energy Gas by its customers. This assessment requires judgment regarding the ability of customers to pay or the outcome of any pending disputes. In measuring the allowance for credit losses for trade receivables, Eastern Energy Gas primarily utilizes credit loss history. However, Eastern Energy Gas may adjust the allowance for credit losses to reflect current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that deviate from historical experience. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the allowance for credit losses was insignificant and is included in trade receivables, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

*Derivatives*

Eastern Energy Gas employs a number of different derivative contracts, which may include forwards, futures, options, swaps and other agreements, to manage its commodity price, interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks. 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. Derivative balances reflect offsetting permitted under master netting agreements with counterparties and cash collateral paid or received under such agreements. Cash collateral received from or paid to counterparties to secure derivative contract assets or liabilities in excess of amounts offset is included in other current assets or other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

------

Commodity derivatives used in normal business operations that are settled by physical delivery, among other criteria, are eligible for and may be designated as normal purchases or normal sales. Normal purchases or normal sales contracts are not marked-to-market and settled amounts are recognized as operating revenue or cost of gas on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For Eastern Energy Gas' derivatives not designated as hedging contracts, unrealized gains and losses are recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as operating revenue for derivatives related to natural gas sales contracts.

For Eastern Energy Gas' derivatives designated as hedging contracts, Eastern Energy Gas formally assesses, at inception and thereafter, whether the hedging contract is highly effective in offsetting changes in the hedged item. Eastern Energy Gas formally documents hedging activity by transaction type and risk management strategy. For derivative instruments that are accounted for as cash flow hedges or fair value hedges, the cash flows from the derivatives and from the related hedged items are classified in operating cash flows.

Changes in the estimated fair value of a derivative contract designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge, to the extent effective, are included on the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity as AOCI, net of tax, until the contract settles and the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Eastern Energy Gas discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it has determined that a derivative contract no longer qualifies as an effective hedge, or when it is no longer probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will occur. When hedge accounting is discontinued because the derivative contract no longer qualifies as an effective hedge, future changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative contract are charged to earnings. Gains and losses related to discontinued hedges that were previously recorded in AOCI will remain in AOCI until the contract settles and the hedged item is recognized in earnings, unless it becomes probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will not occur at which time associated deferred amounts in AOCI are immediately recognized in earnings.

*Inventories*

Inventories consist mainly of materials and supplies and are determined using the average cost method.

*Natural Gas Imbalances*

Natural gas imbalances occur when the physical amount of natural gas delivered from, or received by, a pipeline system or storage facility differs from the contractual amount of natural gas delivered or received. Eastern Energy Gas values these imbalances due to, or from, shippers and operators at an appropriate index price at period end, subject to the terms of its tariff for regulated entities. Imbalances are primarily settled in-kind. Imbalances due to Eastern Energy Gas from other parties are reported in natural gas imbalances and imbalances that Eastern Energy Gas owes to other parties are reported in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

*Property, Plant and Equipment, Net*

*General*

Additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Eastern Energy Gas capitalizes all construction-related materials, direct labor and contract services, as well as indirect construction costs. Indirect construction costs include capitalized interest, including debt allowance for funds used during construction ("AFUDC"), and equity AFUDC, as applicable. The cost of additions and betterments are capitalized, while costs incurred that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the related assets are generally expensed.

Depreciation and amortization are generally computed by applying the composite or straight-line method based on estimated useful lives. Depreciation studies are completed by Eastern Energy Gas for its regulated property, plant and equipment to determine the appropriate group lives, net salvage and group depreciation rates. These studies are reviewed and rates are ultimately approved by the FERC. Net salvage includes the estimated future residual values of the assets and any estimated removal costs recovered through approved depreciation rates. Estimated removal costs are recorded as either a cost of removal regulatory liability or an ARO liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, depending on whether the obligation meets the requirements of an ARO. As actual removal costs are incurred, the associated liability is reduced.

Generally when Eastern Energy Gas retires or sells a component of regulated property, plant and equipment, it charges the original cost, net of any proceeds from the disposition, to accumulated depreciation. Any gain or loss on disposals of all other assets is recorded through earnings.

------

Debt and equity AFUDC, which represent the estimated costs of debt and equity funds necessary to finance the construction of regulated facilities, is capitalized by Eastern Energy Gas as a component of property, plant and equipment, with offsetting credits to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. AFUDC is computed based on guidelines set forth by the FERC. After construction is completed, Eastern Energy Gas is permitted to earn a return on these costs as a component of the related assets, as well as recover these costs through depreciation expense over the useful lives of the related assets.

*Asset Retirement Obligations*

Eastern Energy Gas recognizes AROs when it has a legal obligation to perform decommissioning, reclamation or removal activities upon retirement of an asset. Eastern Energy Gas' AROs are primarily related to the obligations associated with its interstate natural gas transmission and storage well assets. The fair value of an ARO liability is recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset, which is then depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the ARO liability is adjusted for any revisions to the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows (with corresponding adjustments to property, plant and equipment, net) and for accretion of the ARO liability due to the passage of time. For Eastern Energy Gas, the difference between the ARO liability, the corresponding ARO asset included in property, plant and equipment, net and amounts recovered in rates to satisfy such liabilities is recorded as a regulatory asset or liability.

*Impairment*

Eastern Energy Gas evaluates long-lived assets for impairment, including property, plant and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable or when the assets are being held for sale. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the asset is reviewed to assess whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of the asset plus the residual value from the ultimate disposal exceeds the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amounts, the asset is written down to the estimated fair value and any resulting impairment loss is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a majority of all property, plant and equipment is used in regulated businesses, the impacts of regulation are considered when evaluating the carrying value of regulated assets.

*Goodwill*

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations. Eastern Energy Gas evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually and completed its annual review as of October 31, 2025. When evaluating goodwill for impairment, Eastern Energy Gas estimates the fair value of its reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds the estimated fair value, then the excess is charged to earnings as an impairment loss. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of the reporting unit and performing goodwill impairment tests. The determination of fair value incorporates significant unobservable inputs. During 2025, 2024 and 2023, Eastern Energy Gas did not record any goodwill impairments.

Eastern Energy Gas records goodwill adjustments for changes to the purchase price allocation prior to the end of the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.

*Revenue Recognition*

Eastern Energy Gas uses a single five-step model to identify and recognize revenue from contracts with customers ("Customer Revenue") upon transfer of control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which Eastern Energy Gas expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Eastern Energy Gas records sales and excise taxes collected directly from customers and remitted directly to the taxing authorities on a net basis on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

A majority of Eastern Energy Gas' Customer Revenue is derived from tariff-based sales arrangements approved by the FERC. These tariff-based revenues are mainly comprised of natural gas transmission and storage services and have performance obligations which are satisfied over time as services are provided. Eastern Energy Gas' revenue that is nonregulated primarily relates to LNG terminalling services and have performance obligations which are satisfied over time as services are provided.

------

Revenue recognized is equal to the value to the customer of Eastern Energy Gas' performance to date and includes billed and unbilled amounts. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, trade receivables, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets relate substantially to Customer Revenue, including unbilled revenue of $13 million and $12 million, respectively. Payments for amounts billed are generally due from the customer within 30 days of billing. Rates charged for energy products and services are established by regulators or contractual arrangements that establish the transaction price as well as the allocation of price amongst the separate performance obligations. When preliminary regulated rates are permitted to be billed prior to final approval by the applicable regulator, certain revenue collected may be subject to refund and a liability for estimated refunds is accrued. In the event one of the parties to a contract has performed before the other, Eastern Energy Gas would recognize a contract asset or contract liability depending on the relationship between Eastern Energy Gas' performance and the customer's payment. Eastern Energy Gas has recognized contract assets of $6 million and $7 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $43 million and $40 million of contract liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, due to Eastern Energy Gas' performance on certain contracts. Eastern Energy Gas recognizes revenue as it fulfills its obligations to provide services to its customers. For each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Eastern Energy Gas recognized revenue of $13 million from the beginning contract liability balances.

*Unamortized Debt Premiums, Discounts and Debt Issuance Costs*

Premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs incurred for the issuance of long-term debt are amortized over the term of the related financing using the effective interest method.

*Income Taxes*

Berkshire Hathaway includes Eastern Energy Gas in its consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. Consistent with established regulatory practice, Eastern Energy Gas' provision for income taxes has been computed on a stand-alone basis.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted income tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities associated with components of OCI are charged or credited directly to OCI. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities associated with certain property-related basis differences and other various differences that Eastern Energy Gas' regulated businesses deems probable to be passed on to its customers are charged or credited directly to a regulatory asset or liability and will be included in regulated rates when the temporary differences reverse. Other changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities are included as a component of income tax expense. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities attributable to changes in enacted income tax rates are charged or credited to income tax expense or a regulatory asset or liability in the period of enactment. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more-likely-than-not to be realized.

Eastern Energy Gas recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Estimated interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense (benefit) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

*Segment Information*

Eastern Energy Gas currently has one reportable segment, which includes its natural gas transmission, storage and LNG operations. Eastern Energy Gas' chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the BHE Pipeline Group (which consists primarily of BHE GT&S, LLC and its subsidiaries ("BHE GT&S"), Northern Natural Gas Company and Kern River Gas Transmission Company) President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses net income attributable to Eastern Energy Gas, 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.

*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. Eastern Energy Gas adopted this guidance for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025, under the retrospective method. The adoption did not have a material impact on Eastern Energy Gas' Consolidated Financial Statements, but did expand the disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 9 for expanded rate reconciliation disclosures and disaggregation of income taxes paid.

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, as clarified in ASU 2025-01, 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. Eastern Energy Gas is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Business Acquisitions**

On September 1, 2023, BHE and Eastern MLP Holding Company II, LLC ("the Buyer"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Eastern Energy Gas, completed the acquisition of DECP Holdings, Inc.'s, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Dominion Energy, Inc., 50% limited partner interests in Cove Point ("The Transaction"). Under the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated July 9, 2023, the Buyer paid $3.3 billion in cash, plus the pro rata portion of the quarterly distribution made by Cove Point for the third fiscal quarter of 2023. Eastern Energy Gas funded the Transaction through cash provided by BHE GT&S, which included an equity contribution of $2.9 billion and the repayment of affiliated notes of $474 million. The Buyer now holds 75% of the limited partner interests, and its affiliate, Cove Point GP Holding Company, LLC, continues to hold 100% of the general partner interest, of Cove Point. Prior to the Transaction, Eastern Energy Gas held 100% of the general partner interest and 25% of the limited partner interests in Cove Point. Eastern Energy Gas previously determined it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Cove Point's economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to it and accordingly, consolidated Cove Point. Because Eastern Energy Gas controls Cove Point both before and after the Transaction, the changes in Eastern Energy Gas' interest in Cove Point were accounted for as an equity transaction and no gain or loss was recognized. In connection with the Transaction, Eastern Energy Gas recognized $120 million of income taxes in equity primarily attributable to the step up in tax basis of the investment in Cove Point of $144 million, partially offset by establishing additional regulatory liabilities related to excess deferred income taxes of $24 million.

*Assignment of Shale Development Rights*

In September 2025, Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage, Inc. ("EGTS") signed an agreement to convey development rights over time to a natural gas producer for approximately 23,000 acres of Utica Shale and Point Pleasant Formation underneath one of its natural gas storage fields. The agreement provides for payments to EGTS of approximately $49 million over a period of three years, and an overriding royalty interest in gas produced from the acreage. In January 2026, EGTS conveyed approximately 7,600 acres and received proceeds of $16 million from the initial conveyance. This transaction resulted in a $16 million ($12 million after-tax) gain recorded in operations and maintenance expense in January 2026.

In June 2023, EGTS conveyed development rights to a natural gas producer for approximately 6,500 acres of Utica Shale and Point Pleasant Formation underneath one of its natural gas storage fields and received proceeds of $8 million and an overriding royalty interest in gas produced from the acreage. This transaction resulted in an $8 million ($6 million after-tax) gain, included in operations and maintenance expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations.

**(5)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Jointly Owned Utility Facilities**

Under joint facility ownership agreements with other utilities, Eastern Energy Gas, as a tenant in common, has undivided interests in jointly owned transmission and storage facilities. Eastern Energy Gas accounts for its proportionate share of each facility, and each joint owner has provided financing for its share of each facility. Operating costs of each facility are assigned to joint owners primarily based on their percentage of ownership. Operating costs and expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations include Eastern Energy Gas' share of the expenses of these facilities.

**(10)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Employee Benefit Plans**

*Defined Benefit Plans*

Eastern Energy Gas 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 ("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 ("Other Postretirement Plans") on behalf of Eastern Energy Gas. Eastern Energy Gas made $6 million, $7 million and $8 million of contributions to the MidAmerican Energy Company Retirement Plan for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Eastern Energy Gas made $1 million, $2 million and $2 million of contributions to the MidAmerican Energy Company Welfare Benefit Plan for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Contributions related to these plans are reflected as net periodic benefit cost in operations and maintenance expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amounts attributable to Eastern Energy Gas 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. Net periodic benefit costs not included in regulated rates are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net.

*Defined Contribution Plan*

Eastern Energy Gas participates in the MidAmerican Energy defined contribution plan. Eastern Energy Gas' matching contributions are based on each participant's level of contribution. Contributions cannot exceed the maximum allowable for tax purposes. Certain participants now receive enhanced benefits in the defined contribution plan and no longer accrue benefits in the noncontributory defined benefit pension plans. Eastern Energy Gas' contributions to the plans were $16 million, $14 million and $12 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

**(11)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Asset Retirement Obligations**

Eastern Energy Gas estimates its ARO liabilities based upon detailed engineering calculations of the amount and timing of the future cash spending for a third party to perform the required work. Spending estimates are escalated for inflation and then discounted at a credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. Changes in estimates could occur for a number of reasons, including changes in laws and regulations, plan revisions, inflation and changes in the amount and timing of the expected work.

Eastern Energy Gas does not recognize liabilities for AROs for which the fair value cannot be reasonably estimated. Due to the indeterminate removal date, the fair value of the associated liabilities on the Cove Point LNG facility, interim removal of natural gas pipelines and certain storage wells in EGTS' underground natural gas storage network cannot currently be estimated, and no amounts are recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements other than those included in the cost of removal regulatory liability established via approved depreciation rates in accordance with accepted regulatory practices. These accruals totaled $96 million and $92 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of Eastern Energy Gas' ARO liabilities for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

**(12)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Risk Management and Hedging Activities**

Eastern Energy Gas is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates. Eastern Energy Gas is principally exposed to natural gas market fluctuations primarily through fuel retained and used during the operation of the pipeline system, to interest rate risk on its outstanding variable-rate short-term debt and future debt issuances, and to foreign currency exchange risk associated with Euro denominated debt. Eastern Energy Gas 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, Eastern Energy Gas 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. Eastern Energy Gas also uses interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to variable interest rates on long-term debt as well as foreign currency swaps to hedge its exposure to principal and interest payments denominated in Euros. Eastern Energy Gas 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 Eastern Energy Gas' accounting policies related to derivatives. Refer to Notes 2 and 13 for additional information on derivative contracts.

*Derivative Contract Volumes*

The following table summarizes the combined absolute value of long and short positions of outstanding commodity and foreign currency derivative contracts with fixed price terms that comprise the mark-to-market values as of December 31 (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Unit of**<br>**Measure** | **2025** | **2024** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Foreign currency | Euro € | 250 | 250 |

---

*Credit Risk*

Eastern Energy Gas 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 Eastern Energy Gas' counterparties have similar economic, industry or other characteristics and due to direct or indirect relationships among the counterparties. Before entering into a transaction, Eastern Energy Gas 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, Eastern Energy Gas 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, Eastern Energy Gas exercises rights under these arrangements, including calling on the counterparty's credit support arrangement.

The majority of Cove Point's revenue and earnings are from annual reservation payments under certain terminalling, storage and transmission contracts with ST Cove Point, LLC, a joint venture of Sumitomo Corporation and Tokyo Gas Co., LTD., and GAIL Global (USA) LNG, LLC (the "Export Customers"). If such agreements were terminated and Cove Point was unable to replace such agreements on comparable terms, there could be a material impact on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

The Export Customers comprised approximately 39% of Eastern Energy Gas' operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, with Eastern Energy Gas' largest customer representing approximately 21% and 20% of such amounts, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, EGTS provided operational service to 250 customers with approximately 95% of its storage and transmission revenue being provided through firm services. The 10 largest customers provided approximately 40% of EGTS' total storage and transmission revenue and the thirty largest provided approximately 71% of EGTS' total storage and transmission revenue.

**(13)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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):

---

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, including unamortized premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs as applicable, 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 as of December 31 (in millions):

**(17)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Variable Interest Entities and Noncontrolling Interests**

The primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the VIE and to disclose certain information about its significant variable interests in the VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the entity that has both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

As of December 31, 2025, Eastern Energy Gas holds 75% of the limited partner interest and holds 100% of the general partner interest of Cove Point. Eastern Energy Gas concluded that Cove Point is a VIE due to the limited partner lacking the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Eastern Energy Gas is the primary beneficiary of Cove Point as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to it.

Eastern Energy Gas purchased shared services from Carolina Gas Services, Inc. ("Carolina Gas Services") an affiliated VIE, of $3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Effective April 2023, Carolina Gas Services no longer provides services to Eastern Energy Gas. Eastern Energy Gas determined that neither it nor any of its consolidated entities was the primary beneficiary of Carolina Gas Services as neither it nor any of its consolidated entities had both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impacted its economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to them. Carolina Gas Services provided marketing and operational services. Neither Eastern Energy Gas nor any of its consolidated entities had any obligation to absorb more than its allocated share of Carolina Gas Services costs.

Included in noncontrolling interests in the Consolidated Financial Statements are Dominion Energy Inc.'s 50% interest in Cove Point (through August 2023) and Brookfield Super-Core Infrastructure Partner's 25% interest in Cove Point.

**Item 7.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**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 Item 8 of this Form 10-K. EGTS' actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.

**Results of Operations**

<u>Overview</u>

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $266 million, an increase of $10 million, or 4%, compared to 2024, primarily due to higher margin from regulated gas transmission and storage operations of $19 million and an increase in interest income from higher lending activity under Eastern Energy Gas' intercompany revolving credit agreement, partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization, property and other taxes and operations and maintenance expenses.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $256 million, an increase of $18 million, or 8%, compared to 2023, primarily due to lower technology and related charges, lower outside services due to the termination of Dominion Energy, Inc.'s transition services agreement and higher margin from regulated gas transmission and storage operations of $4 million, partially offset by a gain in 2023 from an agreement to convey development rights underneath one of its natural gas storage fields.

<u>Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2024</u> 

*Operating revenue* increased $13 million, or 1%, for 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to an increase in regulated gas transmission and storage services revenues of $22 million primarily due to additional capacity contracts, partially offset by a decrease in variable revenue related to park and loan activity of $5 million and a decrease in regulated gas sales for operational and system balancing purposes primarily due to decreased volumes of $5 million.

*Cost of gas* decreased $6 million, or 86%, for 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due a decrease in volumes sold.

*Operations and maintenance* increased $4 million, or 1%, for 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to an increase in charges from affiliates of $11 million, partially offset by a gain from the sale of a compressor unit to Northern Natural Gas of $5 million.

*Depreciation and amortization* increased $6 million, or 4%, for 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher plant placed in-service.

*Property and other taxes* increased $5 million, or 9%, for 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher tax assessments.

*Other, net* increased $6 million for 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to an increase in interest income from higher lending activity under Eastern Energy Gas' intercompany revolving credit agreement.

*Income tax expense* was flat for 2025 compared to 2024 and the effective tax rate was 25% in 2025 and 2024.

<u>Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2023</u>

*Operating revenu*e decreased $27 million, or 3%, for 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to a decrease in variable revenue related to park and loan activity of $18 million, a decrease in regulated gas sales for operational and system balancing purposes due to decreased prices and volumes of $15 million and a decrease in services provided to affiliates of $7 million, partially offset by an increase in regulated gas transmission and storage services revenues of $17 million primarily due to additional capacity contracts.

*Cost of gas* decreased $31 million, or 82%, for 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to the unfavorable revaluation of volumes retained in 2023.

*Operations and maintenance* decreased $20 million, or 5%, for 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to lower technology and related charges of $14 million, lower outside services of $7 million due to the termination of Dominion Energy Inc.'s transition services agreement and a decrease in services provided to affiliates of $7 million, partially offset by a gain in 2023 from an agreement to convey development rights underneath one of its natural gas storage fields of $8 million.

------

*Other, net* increased $4 million for 2024 compared to 2023, largely due to ARO settlement gains resulting from the FERC order in late 2023 finalizing the remediation activities for the Supply Header Project.

*Income tax expense* increased $8 million, or 10%, for 2024 compared to 2023 and the effective tax rate was 25% in 2024 and 2023. The $8 million increase was primarily due to higher pre-tax income.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

As of December 31, 2025, EGTS' total net liquidity was as follows (in millions):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | $10 |
| Intercompany revolving credit agreement | 400 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total net liquidity | $410 |
| Intercompany revolving credit agreement: |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Maturity date | 2027 |

---

Refer to Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion regarding EGTS' intercompany revolving credit agreement.

EGTS' future financial performance and capital expenditures related to certain projects may be affected by the combined effects of ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including changes in international trade policies and tariff regimes. The pace of change in these areas accelerated during 2025, and uncertainty persists regarding the scope and duration of these external factors. However, EGTS currently does not believe these items and any resulting changes to future capital project allocations will significantly impact its business in the near term.

<u>Operating Activities</u>

Net cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $462 million and $497 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to lower collections from customers and the timing of payments for operating costs, partially offset by favorable operating results and other working capital adjustments.

Net cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $497 million and $418 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to the repayment of EGTS rate refunds to customers in 2023 and other changes in working capital.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

Net cash flows from investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $(399) million and $(251) million, respectively. The change was primarily due to an increase in notes issued to Eastern Energy Gas under an intercompany revolving credit agreement of $128 million, an increase in capital expenditures of $30 million and a decrease in repayments of notes by Eastern Energy Gas under an intercompany revolving credit agreement of $3 million, partially offset by an increase in proceeds from sales of marketable securities of $8 million.

Net cash flows from investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $(251) million and $(237) million, respectively. The change was primarily due to an increase in notes issued to Eastern Energy Gas under an intercompany revolving credit agreement of $25 million, an increase in capital expenditures of $14 million and proceeds from the assignment of shale development rights in 2023 of $8 million, partially offset by an increase in repayments of notes by Eastern Energy Gas under an intercompany revolving credit agreement of $25 million, an increase in proceeds from sales of marketable securities of $3 million a decrease in purchases of marketable securities of $3 million.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

Net cash flows from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $(56) million and consisted of dividends paid to Eastern Energy Gas.

------

Net cash flows from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $(248) million. Sources of cash totaled $162 million and consisted of proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt of $149 million and proceeds from equity contributions from Eastern Energy Gas of $13 million. Uses of cash totaled $410 million and consisted of dividends paid to Eastern Energy Gas of $297 million, repayment of long-term debt of $111 million and net repayment of notes payable to Eastern Energy Gas of $2 million.

Net cash flows from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $(192) million and consisted of dividends paid to Eastern Energy Gas of $158 million and net repayment of notes payable to Eastern Energy Gas of $34 million.

<u>Future Uses of Cash</u>

*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 customers' 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, for the years ending December 31 are as follows (in millions):

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Historical** | **Historical** | **Historical** | **Forecast** | **Forecast** | **Forecast** |
| | **2023** | **2024** | **2025** | **2026** | **2027** | **2028** |
| Natural gas transmission and storage | $16 | $34 | $54 | $114 | $258 | $605 |
| Other | 225 | 221 | 231 | 350 | 177 | 179 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $241 | $255 | $285 | $464 | $435 | $784 |

---

EGTS' natural gas transmission and storage capital expenditures primarily include growth capital expenditures related to planned regulated projects. EGTS' other capital expenditures consist primarily of 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.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total cash requirements | $114 | $228 | $215 | $781 | $1338 |

---

(1)Not reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In addition, EGTS also has cash requirements that may affect its consolidated financial condition that arise from operating leases (refer to Note 5), long-term debt (refer to Note 8), construction and other development costs (refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources included within this Item 7), uncertain tax positions (refer to Note 9) and AROs (refer to Note 11). Refer, where applicable, to the respective referenced note in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

------

**Regulatory Matters**

EGTS is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to the discussion contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-K for further information regarding EGTS' general regulatory framework and 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 and capital expenditure requirements, 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 laws and regulations 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 consolidated financial results.

Refer to "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Item 1 of this Form 10-K for further discussion regarding environmental laws and regulations.

**Collateral and Contingent Features**

Debt of EGTS is rated by credit rating agencies. Assigned credit ratings are based on each rating agency's assessment of EGTS' ability to, in general, meet the obligations of its issued debt. The credit ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and there is no assurance that a particular credit rating will continue for any given period of time.

EGTS has no credit rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity dates of outstanding debt, and a change in ratings is not an event of default under the applicable debt instruments.

**Inflation**

Historically, overall inflation and changing prices in the economies where EGTS operates have not had a significant impact on EGTS' consolidated financial results. EGTS operates under cost-of-service based rate-setting structures administered by the FERC. Under these rate-setting structures, EGTS is allowed to include prudent costs in its rates, including the impact of inflation. EGTS attempts to minimize the potential impact of inflation on its operations by employing prudent risk management and hedging strategies and by considering, among other areas, its impact on purchases of energy, operating expenses, materials and equipment costs, contract negotiations, future capital spending programs and long-term debt issuances. There can be no assurance that such actions will be successful.

**New Accounting Pronouncements**

For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements affecting EGTS, refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

**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. The following critical accounting estimates are impacted significantly by EGTS' methods, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with EGTS' Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in EGTS' Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

*Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation*

EGTS prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with authoritative guidance for regulated operations, which recognizes the economic effects of regulation. Accordingly, EGTS defers the recognition of certain costs or income if it is probable that, through the ratemaking process, there will be a corresponding increase or decrease in future regulated rates.

------

Regulatory assets and liabilities are established to reflect the impacts of these deferrals, which will be recognized in earnings in the periods the corresponding changes in regulated rates occur.

EGTS continually evaluates the applicability of the guidance for regulated operations and whether its regulatory assets and liabilities are probable of inclusion in future regulated rates by considering factors such as a change in the regulator's approach to setting rates from cost-based ratemaking to another form of regulation, other regulatory actions or the impact of competition that could limit EGTS' ability to recover its costs. EGTS believes its application of the guidance for regulated operations is appropriate and its existing regulatory assets and liabilities are probable of inclusion in future regulated rates. The evaluation reflects the current political and regulatory climate at the federal level. If it becomes no longer probable that the deferred costs or income will be included in future regulated rates, the related regulatory assets and liabilities will be recognized in net income, returned to customers or re-established as AOCI. Total regulatory assets were $45 million and total regulatory liabilities were $533 million as of December 31, 2025. Refer to EGTS' Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding EGTS' regulatory assets and liabilities.

*Impairment of Long-Lived Assets*

EGTS evaluates long-lived assets for impairment, including property, plant and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable or when the assets are being held for sale. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the asset is reviewed to assess whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of the asset plus the residual value from the ultimate disposal exceeds the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amounts, the asset is written down to the estimated fair value and any resulting impairment loss is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As substantially all property, plant and equipment supports EGTS' regulated businesses, the impacts of regulation are considered when evaluating the carrying value of regulated assets.

The estimate of cash flows arising from the future use of an asset, for the purposes of impairment analysis, requires the exercise of judgment. Circumstances that could significantly alter the calculation of fair value or the recoverable amount of an asset may include significant changes in the regulatory environment, the business climate, management's plans, legal factors, market price of the asset, the use of the asset, the physical condition of the asset, future market prices, competition and many other factors over the life of the asset. Any resulting impairment loss is highly dependent on the underlying assumptions and could significantly affect EGTS' results of operations.

*Income Taxes*

In determining EGTS' income taxes, management is required to interpret complex income tax laws and regulations, which includes consideration of regulatory implications imposed by the FERC. EGTS' income tax returns are subject to continuous examinations by federal, state and local income tax authorities that may give rise to different interpretations of these complex laws and regulations. Due to the nature of the examination process, it generally takes years before these examinations are completed and these matters are resolved. EGTS recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Although the ultimate resolution of EGTS' federal, state and local income tax examinations is uncertain, EGTS believes it has made adequate provisions for these income tax positions. The aggregate amount of any additional income tax liabilities that may result from these examinations is not expected to have a material impact on EGTS' consolidated financial results. Refer to EGTS' Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding EGTS' income taxes.

It is probable that EGTS will pass income tax benefit and expense related to the federal tax rate change from 35% to 21%, certain property-related basis differences and other various differences on to their customers. As of December 31, 2025, these amounts were recognized as a net regulatory liability of $360 million and will be included in regulated rates when the temporary differences reverse.

**Item 7A.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

EGTS' Consolidated Balance Sheets include assets and liabilities with fair values that are subject to market risks. EGTS' significant market risks are primarily associated with interest rates and the extension of credit to counterparties with which EGTS transacts. The following discussion addresses the significant market risks associated with EGTS' business activities. EGTS has established guidelines for credit risk management. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding EGTS' contracts accounted for as derivatives.

------

<u>Interest Rate Risk</u>

EGTS is exposed to interest rate risk on its outstanding variable-rate short- and long-term debt and future debt issuances. EGTS 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. As a result of the fixed interest rates, EGTS' fixed-rate long-term debt does not expose EGTS to the risk of loss due to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, because fixed-rate long-term debt is not carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, changes in fair value would impact earnings and cash flows only if EGTS were to reacquire all or a portion of these instruments prior to their maturity. The nature and amount of EGTS' short- and long-term debt can be expected to vary from period to period as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. Refer to Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion of EGTS' long-term debt.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, EGTS had no short- and long-term variable-rate obligations that expose EGTS to the risk of increased interest expense in the event of increases in short-term interest rates.

<u>Credit Risk</u>

EGTS is exposed to counterparty credit risk associated with natural gas transmission and storage service contracts with utilities, natural gas producers, power generators, industrials, energy marketing companies, financial institutions and other market participants. Credit risk may be concentrated to the extent EGTS' counterparties have similar economic, industry or other characteristics and due to direct and indirect relationships among the counterparties. Before entering into a transaction, EGTS analyzes the financial condition of each 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 counterparty credit risk, EGTS obtains third-party guarantees, letters of credit, financial guarantee bonds and cash deposits. If required, EGTS exercises rights under these arrangements, including calling on the counterparty's credit support arrangement.

EGTS' gross credit exposure for each counterparty is calculated as outstanding receivables plus any unrealized on- or off-balance sheet exposure, taking into account contractual netting rights. Gross credit exposure is calculated prior to the application of collateral. As of December 31, 2025, EGTS' credit exposure totaled $35 million. Of this amount, investment grade counterparties, including those internally rated, represented 100%, and no single counterparty exceeded $10 million of the credit exposure.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Board of Directors of Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage, Inc.

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage, Inc., and subsidiaries ("EGTS") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EGTS as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of EGTS' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on EGTS' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. EGTS is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of EGTS' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matter** 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the Board of Directors and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

**Regulatory Matters — Effects of Rate Regulation on the Financial Statements — Refer to Notes 2 and 6 to the Financial Statements**

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

EGTS is subject to rate regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the "FERC"), which has jurisdiction with respect to the rates of interstate natural gas transmission companies in the respective service territories where EGTS operates. Management has determined its regulated operations meet the requirements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to prepare its financial statements applying the specialized rules to account for the effects of cost-based rate regulation. Accounting for the economic effects of rate regulation has a pervasive effect on the financial statements.

------

Revenue provided by EGTS' interstate natural gas transmission operations is based primarily on rates approved by the FERC. EGTS defers the recognition of certain costs or income if it is probable that, through the ratemaking process, there will be a corresponding increase or decrease in future regulated rates. Regulatory assets and liabilities are established to reflect the impacts of these deferrals, which will be recognized in earnings in the periods the corresponding changes in regulated rates occur. EGTS continually evaluates the applicability of the guidance for regulated operations and whether its regulatory assets and liabilities are probable of inclusion in future rates by considering factors such as a change in the regulator's approach to setting rates from cost-based ratemaking to another form of regulation, other regulatory actions or the impact of competition that could limit EGTS' ability to recover its costs. The evaluation reflects the current political and regulatory climate. If it becomes no longer probable that the deferred costs or income will be included in future regulated rates, the regulatory assets and liabilities will be recognized in net income, returned to customers, or re-established as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

We identified the effects of rate regulation on the financial statements as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgments made by management to support its assertions about affected account balances and disclosures and the high degree of subjectivity involved in assessing the impact of regulatory orders on the financial statements. Management judgments include assessing the likelihood of (1) recovery in future rates of incurred costs, (2) a disallowance of part of the cost of recently completed plant or plant under construction, and (3) a refund to customers. Given that management's accounting judgments are based on assumptions about the outcome of decisions by the FERC, auditing these judgments required specialized knowledge of accounting for rate regulation and the rate setting process due to its inherent complexities.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to the uncertainty of decisions by the FERC included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated EGTS' disclosures related to the effects of rate regulation by testing recorded balances and evaluating regulatory developments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We read relevant regulatory orders issued by the FERC, regulatory statutes, filings made by EGTS and other external information. We evaluated relevant external information and compared it to certain recorded regulatory asset and liability balances for completeness.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For certain regulatory matters, we inspected EGTS' filings with the FERC, and the filings with the FERC by intervenors to assess the likelihood of recovery in future rates or of a future reduction in rates based on precedents of the FERC's treatment of similar costs under similar circumstances.

**EASTERN GAS TRANSMISSION AND STORAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(1)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Organization and Operations**

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 based in Des Moines, Iowa that has investments in subsidiaries principally engaged in energy businesses. BHE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway").

**(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

*Basis of Consolidation and Presentation*

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of EGTS and its subsidiaries in which it holds a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement date. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

*Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements*

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, the effects of regulation; recovery of long-lived assets; certain assumptions made in accounting for pension and other postretirement benefits; asset retirement obligations ("AROs"); income taxes; unbilled revenue; valuation of certain financial assets and liabilities, including derivative contracts; and accounting for contingencies. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements.

*Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation*

EGTS prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with authoritative guidance for regulated operations, which recognizes the economic effects of regulation. Accordingly, EGTS defers the recognition of certain costs or income if it is probable that, through the ratemaking process, there will be a corresponding increase or decrease in future regulated rates. Regulatory assets and liabilities are established to reflect the impacts of these deferrals, which will be recognized in earnings in the periods the corresponding changes in regulated rates occur.

If it becomes no longer probable that the deferred costs or income will be included in future regulated rates, the related regulatory assets and liabilities will be recognized in net income, returned to customers or re-established as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI").

*Fair Value Measurements*

As defined under GAAP, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability between market participants in the principal market or in the most advantageous market when no principal market exists. Adjustments to transaction prices or quoted market prices may be required in illiquid or disorderly markets in order to estimate fair value. Alternative valuation techniques may be appropriate under the circumstances to determine the value that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction. Market participants are assumed to be independent, knowledgeable, able and willing to transact an exchange and not under duress. Nonperformance or credit risk is considered when determining fair value. Considerable judgment may be required in interpreting market data used to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current or future market exchange.

------

*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 customer deposits as allowed under the FERC gas tariff. A reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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):

*Allowance for Credit Losses*

Trade receivables are primarily short-term in nature with stated collection terms of less than one year from the date of origination and are stated at the outstanding principal amount, net of an estimated allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is based on EGTS' assessment of the collectability of amounts owed to EGTS by its customers. This assessment requires judgment regarding the ability of customers to pay or the outcome of any pending disputes. In measuring the allowance for credit losses for trade receivables, EGTS primarily utilizes credit loss history. However, EGTS may adjust the allowance for credit losses to reflect current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that deviate from historical experience. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the allowance for credit losses was insignificant and is included in trade receivables, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

*Derivatives*

EGTS employs a number of different derivative contracts, which may include forwards, futures, options, swaps and other agreements, to manage its commodity price and interest rate risks. 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. Derivative balances reflect offsetting permitted under master netting agreements with counterparties and cash collateral paid or received under such agreements. Cash collateral received from or paid to counterparties to secure derivative contract assets or liabilities in excess of amounts offset is included in other current assets or other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Commodity derivatives used in normal business operations that are settled by physical delivery, among other criteria, are eligible for and may be designated as normal purchases or normal sales. Normal purchases or normal sales contracts are not marked-to-market and settled amounts are recognized as operating revenue or cost of gas on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For EGTS' derivatives not designated as hedging contracts, unrealized gains and losses are recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as operating revenue for derivatives related to natural gas sales contracts.

For EGTS' derivatives designated as hedging contracts, EGTS formally assesses, at inception and thereafter, whether the hedging contract is highly effective in offsetting changes in the hedged item. EGTS formally documents hedging activity by transaction type and risk management strategy. For derivative instruments that are accounted for as cash flow hedges or fair value hedges, the cash flows from the derivatives and from the related hedged items are classified in operating cash flows.

------

Changes in the estimated fair value of a derivative contract designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge, to the extent effective, are included on the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity as AOCI, net of tax, until the contract settles and the hedged item is recognized in earnings. EGTS discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it has determined that a derivative contract no longer qualifies as an effective hedge, or when it is no longer probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will occur. When hedge accounting is discontinued because the derivative contract no longer qualifies as an effective hedge, future changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative contract are charged to earnings. Gains and losses related to discontinued hedges that were previously recorded in AOCI will remain in AOCI until the contract settles and the hedged item is recognized in earnings, unless it becomes probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will not occur at which time associated deferred amounts in AOCI are immediately recognized in earnings.

*Inventories*

Inventories consist mainly of materials and supplies and are determined using the average cost method.

*Natural Gas Imbalances*

Natural gas imbalances occur when the physical amount of natural gas delivered from, or received by, a pipeline system or storage facility differs from the contractual amount of natural gas delivered or received. EGTS values these imbalances due to, or from, shippers and operators at an appropriate index price at period end, subject to the terms of its tariff for regulated entities. Imbalances are primarily settled in-kind. Imbalances due to EGTS from other parties are reported in natural gas imbalances and imbalances that EGTS owes to other parties are reported in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

*Property, Plant and Equipment, Net*

*General*

Additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. EGTS capitalizes all construction-related materials, direct labor and contract services, as well as indirect construction costs. Indirect construction costs include debt and equity allowance for funds used during construction ("AFUDC"), as applicable. The cost of additions and betterments are capitalized, while costs incurred that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the related assets are generally expensed.

Depreciation and amortization are generally computed by applying the composite or straight-line method based on estimated useful lives. Depreciation studies are completed by EGTS to determine the appropriate group lives, net salvage and group depreciation rates. These studies are reviewed and rates are ultimately approved by the FERC. Net salvage includes the estimated future residual values of the assets and any estimated removal costs recovered through approved depreciation rates. Estimated removal costs are recorded as either a cost of removal regulatory liability or an ARO liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, depending on whether the obligation meets the requirements of an ARO. As actual removal costs are incurred, the associated liability is reduced.

Generally when EGTS retires or sells a component of regulated property, plant and equipment, it charges the original cost, net of any proceeds from the disposition, to accumulated depreciation. Any gain or loss on disposals of all other assets is recorded through earnings.

Debt and equity AFUDC, which represent the estimated costs of debt and equity funds necessary to finance the construction of regulated facilities, is capitalized by EGTS as a component of property, plant and equipment, with offsetting credits to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. AFUDC is computed based on guidelines set forth by the FERC. After construction is completed, EGTS is permitted to earn a return on these costs as a component of the related assets, as well as recover these costs through depreciation expense over the useful lives of the related assets.

------

*Asset Retirement Obligations*

EGTS recognizes AROs when it has a legal obligation to perform decommissioning, reclamation or removal activities upon retirement of an asset. EGTS' AROs are primarily related to the obligations associated with its interstate natural gas transmission and storage well assets. The fair value of an ARO liability is recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset, which is then depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the ARO liability is adjusted for any revisions to the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows (with corresponding adjustments to property, plant and equipment, net) and for accretion of the ARO liability due to the passage of time. For EGTS, the difference between the ARO liability, the corresponding ARO asset included in property, plant and equipment, net and amounts recovered in rates to satisfy such liabilities is recorded as a regulatory asset or liability.

*Impairment*

EGTS evaluates long-lived assets for impairment, including property, plant and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable or when the assets are being held for sale. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the asset is reviewed to assess whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of the asset plus the residual value from the ultimate disposal exceeds the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amounts, the asset is written down to the estimated fair value and any resulting impairment loss is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As substantially all property, plant and equipment supports EGTS' regulated businesses, the impacts of regulation are considered when evaluating the carrying value of regulated assets.

*Leases*

EGTS has non-cancelable operating leases primarily for office space, office equipment and land. These leases generally require EGTS to pay for insurance, taxes and maintenance applicable to the leased property. Given the capital-intensive nature of the utility industry, it is common for a portion of lease costs to be capitalized when used during construction or maintenance of assets, in which the associated costs will be capitalized with the corresponding asset and depreciated over the remaining life of that asset. Certain leases contain renewal options for varying periods and escalation clauses for adjusting rent to reflect changes in price indices. EGTS does not include options in its lease calculations unless there is a triggering event indicating EGTS is reasonably certain to exercise the option. EGTS' accounting policy is to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease obligations for leases with contract terms of one year or less and not separate lease components from non-lease components and instead account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with a lease as a single lease component. Right-of-use assets are evaluated for impairment in line with Accounting Standards Codification 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment" when a triggering event has occurred that might affect the value and use of the assets being leased.

EGTS' operating right-of-use assets are recorded in other assets and the operating lease liabilities are recorded in current and long-term other liabilities accordingly.

*Revenue Recognition*

EGTS uses a single five-step model to identify and recognize revenue from contracts with customers ("Customer Revenue") upon transfer of control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which EGTS expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. EGTS records sales and excise taxes collected directly from customers and remitted directly to the taxing authorities on a net basis on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

A majority of EGTS' Customer Revenue is derived from tariff-based sales arrangements approved by the FERC. These tariff-based revenues are mainly comprised of natural gas transmission and storage services and have performance obligations which are satisfied over time as services are provided.

------

Revenue recognized is equal to what EGTS has the right to invoice as it corresponds directly with the value to the customer of EGTS' performance to date and includes billed and unbilled amounts. Trade receivables, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets relate substantially to Customer Revenue. Payments for amounts billed are generally due from the customer within 30 days of billing. Rates charged for energy products and services are established by regulators or contractual arrangements that establish the transaction price as well as the allocation of price amongst the separate performance obligations. When preliminary regulated rates are permitted to be billed prior to final approval by the applicable regulator, certain revenue collected may be subject to refund and a liability for estimated refunds is accrued. In the event one of the parties to a contract has performed before the other, EGTS would recognize a contract asset or contract liability depending on the relationship between EGTS' performance and the customer's payment. EGTS has recognized contract assets of $6 million and $7 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $7 million and $3 million of contract liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, due to EGTS' performance on certain contracts.

*Unamortized Debt Premiums, Discounts and Debt Issuance Costs*

Premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs incurred for the issuance of long-term debt are amortized over the term of the related financing using the effective interest method.

*Income Taxes*

Berkshire Hathaway includes EGTS in its consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. Consistent with established regulatory practice, EGTS' provision for income taxes has been computed on a stand-alone basis.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted income tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities associated with components of OCI are charged or credited directly to OCI. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities associated with certain property-related basis differences and other various differences that EGTS' regulated businesses deems probable to be passed on to its customers are charged or credited directly to a regulatory asset or liability and will be included in regulated rates when the temporary differences reverse. Other changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities are included as a component of income tax expense. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities attributable to changes in enacted income tax rates are charged or credited to income tax expense or a regulatory asset or liability in the period of enactment. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more-likely-than-not to be realized.

EGTS recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Estimated interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense (benefit) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

*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 and its subsidiaries ("BHE GT&S"), 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.

*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 adopted this guidance for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025, under the retrospective method. The adoption did not have a material impact on EGTS' Consolidated Financial Statements, but did expand the disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 9 for expanded rate reconciliation disclosures and disaggregation of income taxes paid.

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, as clarified in ASU 2025-01, 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.

*Assignment of Shale Development Rights*

In September 2025, EGTS signed an agreement to convey development rights over time to a natural gas producer for approximately 23,000 acres of Utica Shale and Point Pleasant Formation underneath one of its natural gas storage fields. The agreement provides for payments to EGTS of approximately $49 million over a period of three years, and an overriding royalty interest in gas produced from the acreage. In January 2026, EGTS conveyed approximately 7,600 acres and received proceeds of $16 million from the initial conveyance. This transaction resulted in a $16 million ($12 million after-tax) gain recorded in operations and maintenance expense in January 2026.

In June 2023, EGTS conveyed development rights to a natural gas producer for approximately 6,500 acres of Utica Shale and Point Pleasant Formation underneath one of its natural gas storage fields and received proceeds of $8 million and an overriding royalty interest in gas produced from the acreage. This transaction resulted in an $8 million ($6 million after-tax) gain, included in operations and maintenance expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has not closed or effectively settled an examination of EGTS' income tax returns for any tax years beginning on or after November 1, 2020. The statute of limitations for EGTS' states remains open for periods beginning on or after November 1, 2020. The closure of examinations, or the expiration of the statute of limitations, for state filings may not preclude the state from adjusting the state net operating loss carryforward utilized in a year for which the statute of limitations is not closed.

**(10)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Employee Benefit Plans**

*Defined 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 made $5 million, $7 million and $7 million of contributions to the MidAmerican Energy Company Retirement Plan for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. EGTS made $1 million, $2 million, and $2 million of contributions to the MidAmerican Energy Company Welfare Benefit Plan for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Contributions related to these plans are reflected as net periodic benefit cost in operations and maintenance expense in 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.

*Defined Contribution Plan*

EGTS participates in the MidAmerican Energy defined contribution plan. EGTS' matching contributions are based on each participant's level of contribution. Contributions cannot exceed the maximum allowable for tax purposes. Certain participants now receive enhanced benefits in the defined contribution plan and no longer accrue benefits in the noncontributory defined benefit pension plans. EGTS' contributions to the plans were $12 million, $10 million and $9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

**(11)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Asset Retirement Obligations**

EGTS estimates its ARO liabilities based upon detailed engineering calculations of the amount and timing of the future cash spending for a third party to perform the required work. Spending estimates are escalated for inflation and then discounted at a credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. Changes in estimates could occur for a number of reasons, including changes in laws and regulations, plan revisions, inflation and changes in the amount and timing of the expected work.

EGTS does not recognize liabilities for AROs for which the fair value cannot be reasonably estimated. Due to the indeterminate removal date, the fair value of the interim removal of natural gas pipelines and certain storage wells in EGTS' underground natural gas storage network cannot currently be estimated, and no amounts are recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements other than those included in the cost of removal regulatory liability established via approved depreciation rates in accordance with accepted regulatory practices. These accruals totaled $34 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of EGTS' ARO liabilities for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| **Beginning balance** | $28 | $30 |

**(12)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Risk Management and Hedging Activities**

EGTS is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in commodity prices, principally, to natural gas market fluctuations primarily related to fuel retained and used during the operation of the pipeline system. EGTS has established a risk management process that is designed to identify, assess, manage, mitigate, monitor and report, each of the various types of risk involved in its business. To mitigate a portion of its commodity price risk, EGTS 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. EGTS does not hedge all of its commodity price risk, thereby exposing the unhedged portion to changes in market prices. See Note 13 for further information about fair value measurements and associated valuation methods for derivatives.

There have been no significant changes in EGTS' accounting policies related to derivatives. Refer to Notes 2 and 13 for additional information on derivative contracts.

*Credit Risk*

EGTS 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 EGTS' counterparties have similar economic, industry or other characteristics and due to direct or indirect relationships among the counterparties. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the 10 largest customers provided 40% of the total storage and transmission revenues. Before entering into a transaction, EGTS 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, EGTS 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, EGTS exercises rights under these arrangements, including calling on the counterparty's credit support arrangement.

**(13)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* 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):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Input Levels for Fair Value Measurements** | **Input Levels for Fair Value Measurements** | **Input Levels for Fair Value Measurements** | |
| | **Level 1** | **Level 2** | **Level 3** |<br>**Total** |
| **<u>As of December 31, 2025</u>** | | | | |
| **Assets:** | | | | |
| Money market mutual funds | $10 | $— | $— | $10 |
| Equity securities: |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Investment funds | 8 |  |  | 8 |
|  | $18 | $— | $— | $18 |

| Equity securities: |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Investment funds | 18 |  |  | 18 |
|  | $26 | $— | $— | $26 |

---

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, including unamortized premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs as applicable, 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 as of December 31 (in millions):

---

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|

Each Registrant is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway and does not have an audit committee. The Berkshire Hathaway audit committee has considered whether the non-audit services provided to the Registrants by the Deloitte Entities impaired the independence of the Deloitte Entities and concluded that they did not. All of the services performed by the Deloitte Entities were pre-approved in accordance with the pre-approval policy adopted by the Berkshire Hathaway audit committee. The policy provides guidelines for the audit, audit-related, tax and other non-audit services that may be provided by the Deloitte Entities to the Registrants. The policy (a) identifies the guiding principles that must be considered by the Berkshire Hathaway audit committee in approving services to ensure that the Deloitte Entities' independence is not impaired; (b) describes the audit, audit-related and tax services that may be provided and the non-audit services that are prohibited; and (c) sets forth pre-approval requirements for all permitted services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)the increased Commitments will be assumed by one or more Lenders or other banks, financial institutions, trusts, funds or other entities (each an "**Increase Lender**") selected by the relevant Obligor (each of which shall not be a member of the Group) and each of which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of a Lender corresponding to that part of the increased Commitments which it is to assume as if it had been an Original Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Obligors and the Increase Lender would have assumed and/or acquired had the Increase Lender been an Original Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the execution by the Agent of an Increase Confirmation from the relevant Increase Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Unless the Agent otherwise agrees or the increased Commitment is assumed by an existing Lender, the relevant Obligor shall, on the date upon which the increase takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of £3,000 and the Company shall promptly on demand pay the Agent the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by it in connection with any increase in Commitments under this Clause 2.2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The obligations of each Finance Party under the Finance Documents are several.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Each Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree to any Extension Request (each such Lender, a "**Consenting Lender**"). Each Lender that agrees to an Extension Request by the date falling 15 days before the First Anniversary or the Second Anniversary (as applicable) (each such date being an "**Extension** 

10328650694-v9 - 32 - 70-41102614

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)If any Lender fails to reply to an Extension Request on or before an Extension Request Long Stop Date, it will be deemed to have refused that Extension Request and its Commitment will not be extended (each a "**Deemed Declining Lender**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Subject to paragraph (i) below, each Extension Request is irrevocable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)If one or more (but not all) of the Lenders agree to an Extension Request, then on an Extension Request Long Stop Date and in any case within 10 days of the relevant Extension Request Long Stop Date, the Agent must notify the Company (a "**Declining Lender Notice**"), identifying in that notification which Lenders have not agreed to the Extension Request (each such Lender together with any Deemed Declining Lender, a "**Declining Lender**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)no Default is continuing or would result from the proposed extension;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the Company has paid (or has procured payment of) the extension fee to each relevant Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) above; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)the Repeating Representations are true in all material respects.

5.7**Replacement of Declining Lenders**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If the Company has not withdrawn the relevant Extension Request in accordance with paragraph (i) of Clause 5.6 above, it may, within 60 days of receipt of a Declining Lender Notice, replace a Declining Lender as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)by requiring such Declining Lender to (and such Declining Lender shall) transfer pursuant to Clause 24 (*Changes to Parties*) all (and not

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

part only) of its rights and obligations under the Facility to a Consenting Lender or another bank, financial institution, trust fund or other entity (to the extent not a Consenting Lender, a "**Replacement Lender**") selected by the Company and which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of a Lender corresponding to that part of the Commitments to which it is to assume as if it had been an Original Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)each of the Obligors and any Replacement Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another as the Obligors and the Replacement Lender would have assumed and/or acquired had the Replacement Lender been an Original Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)the Commitments of the other Lenders shall continue in full force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Each Replacement Lender, by executing a Transfer Certificate, confirms (for the avoidance of doubt) that the Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the transfer becomes effective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The replacement of a Declining Lender pursuant to this Clause 5.7 shall be subject to the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)none of the Agent, any Arranger or any Lender shall have any obligation to find a Replacement Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)in no event shall the relevant Declining Lender be required to pay or surrender to the relevant Replacement Lender any of the fees or other amounts received by such Declining Lender pursuant to the Finance Documents prior to the date of such replacement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)any Transfer Certificate executed by the relevant Declining Lender and the relevant Replacement Lender shall include a confirmation from the Replacement Lender that it has agreed to the extension of the Termination Date requested by the Borrower in accordance with Clause 5.6 (*Extension Option*).

5.8**Utilisations on the date of this Agreement** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)On the date of this Agreement, each of Yorkshire, in respect of the outstanding principal amount under Existing Tranche A, and Northeast, in respect of the

outstanding principal amount under Existing Tranche B (each such outstanding principal amount being a "**Repayment Amount**"), shall be deemed to have delivered a Utilisation Request in an amount equal to the relevant Repayment Amount in accordance with Clause 5.1 (*Delivery of a Utilisation Request*).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Loans deemed to have been provided pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a) above shall be deemed to have been provided on equivalent terms to the corresponding loans under the Existing Facility, including, without limitation, in respect of the Margin and the Interest Period for each such Loan.

6.**OPTIONAL CURRENCIES**

6.1**Selection of currency**

A Borrower shall select the currency of a Loan in a Utilisation Request.

If before the Specified Time:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)a Lender notifies the Agent that the Optional Currency requested is not readily available to it in the amount required; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)a Lender notifies the Agent that compliance with its obligation to participate in a Loan in the proposed Optional Currency would contravene a law or regulation applicable to it,

the Agent will give notice to the relevant Borrower to that effect by the Specified Time. In this event, any Lender that gives notice pursuant to this Clause 6.2 will be required to participate in the Loan in the Base Currency (in an amount equal to that Lender's proportion of the Base Currency Amount or, in respect of a Rollover Loan, an amount equal to that Lender's proportion of the Base Currency Amount of the Rollover Loan that is due to be made) and its participation will be treated as a separate Loan denominated in the Base Currency during that Interest Period.

6.3**Participation in a Loan**

7.**REPAYMENT**

7.1**Repayment of Loans**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Subject to paragraph (b) below, each Borrower which has drawn a Loan shall repay that Loan on the last day of its Interest Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Without prejudice to each Borrower's obligation under paragraph (a) above, if one or more Loans are to be made available to a Borrower under a particular Tranche (a "**new Loan**"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)on the same day that a maturing Loan made under the same Tranche (a "**maturing Loan**") is due to be repaid by that Borrower;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)in the same currency as the maturing Loan (unless it arose as a result of the operation of Clause 6.2 *(Unavailability of a currency*));

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)in whole or in part for the purpose of refinancing the maturing Loan; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)the proportion borne by each Lender's participation in the maturing Loan to the amount of that maturing Loan is the same as the proportion borne by that Lender's participation in the new Loans to the aggregate amount of those new Loans,

the aggregate amount of the new Loans shall, unless a Borrower notifies the Agent to the contrary in the relevant Utilisation Request, be treated as if applied in or towards repayment of the maturing Loan so that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)if the amount of the maturing Loan exceeds the aggregate amount of the new Loans:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)the relevant Borrower will only be required to pay an amount in cash in the relevant currency equal to that excess; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)each Lender's participation (if any) in the new Loans shall be treated as having been made available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Lender's participation (if any) in the maturing Loan and that Lender will not be required to make its participation in the new Loans available in cash; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)if the amount of the maturing Loan is equal to or less than the aggregate amount of the new Loans:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)the relevant Borrower will not be required to make any payment in cash; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)At any time when a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the maturity date of each of the participations of that Lender in the Loans then outstanding will be automatically extended to the Termination Date and will be treated as separate Loans (the "**Separate Loans**") denominated in the currency in which the relevant participations are outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)A Borrower to whom a Separate Loan is outstanding may prepay that Loan by giving 3 Business Days' prior notice to the Agent. The Agent will forward a copy of a prepayment notice received in accordance with this paragraph (d) to the Defaulting Lender concerned as soon as practicable on receipt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Interest in respect of a Separate Loan will accrue for successive Interest Periods selected by the relevant Borrower by the time and date specified by the Agent (acting reasonably) and will be payable by that Borrower to the Agent (for the account of the Defaulting Lender) on the last day of each Interest Period of that Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)The terms of this Agreement relating to Loans generally shall continue to apply to Separate Loans other than to the extent inconsistent with paragraphs (c) to (e) above, in which case those paragraphs shall prevail in respect of any Separate Loan.

**SECTION 5<br>COSTS OF UTILISATION**

9.**INTEREST**

9.1**Calculation of interest - Term Rate Loans**

The rate of interest on each Term Rate Loan for an Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Margin; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Term Reference Rate.

9.2**Calculation of interest - Compounded Rate Loans**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The rate of interest on each Compounded Rate Loan for any day during an Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Margin; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Compounded Reference Rate for that day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If any day during an Interest Period for a Compounded Rate Loan is not an RFR Banking Day, the rate of interest on that Compounded Rate Loan for that day will be the rate applicable to the immediately preceding RFR Banking Day.

9.3**Payment of interest**

The Borrower to which a Loan has been made shall pay accrued interest on that Loan on the last day of each Interest Period.

9.4**Default interest**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to paragraph (b) below, is one per cent. per annum higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 9.4 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Term Rate Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Loan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and

10328650694-v9 - 42 - 70-41102614

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be one per cent. higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.

9.5**Notification** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Lenders and the relevant Borrower of the determination of a rate of interest relating to a Term Rate Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)each relevant Lender of the proportion of that Compounded Rate Interest Payment which relates to that Lender's participation in the relevant Compounded Rate Loan; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)each applicable rate of interest relating to the determination of that Compounded Rate Interest Payment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)to the extent it is then determinable, the Market Disruption Rate (if any) relating to the relevant Compounded Rate Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)The length of an Interest Period of a Term Rate Loan shall not be affected by that Term Rate Loan becoming a "Compounded Rate Loan" for that Interest Period pursuant to Clause 11.1 (*Interest calculation if no Primary Term Rate*).

10.2**Non-Business Days**

If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Business Day in that calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)the relevant Lender is a Treaty Lender and the Obligor making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under paragraph (g) or (h) (as applicable) below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)a Borrower making a payment to that Lender has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)a Borrower making a payment to that Lender has made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender but:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Paragraph (a) above shall not apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party's Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 13.2 (*Tax gross-up*);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 13.2 (*Tax gross-up*) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in paragraph (d) of Clause 13.2 (*Tax gross-up*) applied; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from an Obligor under this Clause 13.3, notify the Agent.

13.4**Tax Credit**

If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party determines that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)a Tax Credit is attributable to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, to that Tax Payment or to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment was required; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)that Finance Party has obtained and utilised that Tax Credit,

the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Obligor.

13.5**Lender Status Confirmation**

Each Lender which becomes a Party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the documentation which it executes on becoming a Party as a Lender, and for the benefit of the Agent and without liability to any Obligor, which of the following categories it falls in:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)not a Qualifying Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)a Qualifying Lender (other than a Treaty Lender); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)a Treaty Lender.

If such a Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Clause 13.5 then that Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Obligor) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Agent which category applies (and the Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Obligors). For the avoidance of doubt, the documentation which a Lender executes on becoming a Party as a Lender shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this Clause 13.5.

13.6**Stamp taxes**

The Company shall pay and, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document.

13.7**Value added tax**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)All amounts expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply and, accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document and such Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party must pay to such

10328650694-v9 - 54 - 70-41102614

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Party).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the "**Supplier**") to any other Finance Party (the "**Recipient**") under a Finance Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the "**Relevant Party**") is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)(where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Any reference in this Clause 13.7 to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to that party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)In relation to any supply made by a Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document, if reasonably requested by such Finance Party, that Party must

10328650694-v9 - 55 - 70-41102614

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

promptly provide such Finance Party with details of that Party's VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Finance Party's VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

13.8**FATCA Information**

**SECTION 7<br>GUARANTEE**

18.**GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY** 

18.1**Guarantee and indemnity** 

The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each other Borrower of all that Borrower's obligations under the Finance Documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever a Borrower does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Finance Document, the Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of a Borrower not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by the Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 18 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

18.2**Continuing guarantee**

This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

18.3**Reinstatement**

If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Finance Party in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of the Guarantor under this Clause 18 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

18.4**Waiver of defences**

The obligations of the Guarantor under this Clause 18 will not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 18 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other person;

10328650694-v9 - 61 - 70-41102614

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor or any other person;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)any amendment, novation, supplement, extension or restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of a Finance Document or any other document or security including without limitation any change in the purpose of, any extension of, or any increase in, any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Finance Document or other document;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document or any other document or security; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)any insolvency or similar proceedings.

18.5**Immediate recourse**

The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from the Guarantor under this Clause 18. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

18.6**Appropriations**

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and the Guarantor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from the Guarantor or on account of the Guarantor's liability under this Clause 18.

18.7**Deferral of Guarantor's rights**

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Agent otherwise directs, the Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may

10328650694-v9 - 62 - 70-41102614

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 18:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)to be indemnified by an Obligor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by any Finance Party;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which the Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 18.1 (*Guarantee and Indemnity*);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor; and/or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor in competition with any Finance Party.

If the Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Finance Parties by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Finance Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Agent or as the Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 28 (*Payment mechanics*).

18.8**Additional security**

This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any Finance Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)assign any of its rights; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations,

to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the "**New Lender**").

24.2**Conditions of assignment or transfer**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The consent of the Company is required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender, unless the assignment or transfer is to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The consent of the Company to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company will be deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the Existing Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Company within that time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)An assignment will only be effective on:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)receipt by the Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)performance by the Agent of all necessary "know your customer" or other checks relating to any person that it is required to carry out in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 24.5 (*Procedure for transfer*) is complied with.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)If:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Clause 13 (*Tax gross-up and indemnities*) or Clause 14 (*Increased costs*),

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. This paragraph (e) shall not apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)in respect of an assignment or transfer made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of the Facility; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement, confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)No Existing Lender shall assign or transfer any of its rights and/or obligations under a Tranche to a New Lender without simultaneously assigning and/or transferring on a pro rata basis its rights and/or obligations under the other Tranches to such New Lender.

24.3**Assignment or transfer fee**

The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of £3,000.

24.4**Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents or any other documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the financial condition of any Obligor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)the performance and observance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document,

10328650694-v9 - 83 - 70-41102614

------

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 24; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

24.5**Procedure for transfer**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 24.2 (*Conditions of assignment or transfer*) a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Clause 24.9, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)In this Clause 24.9 references to "Interest Period" shall be construed to include a reference to any other period for accrual of fees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)No Party (other than the Agent) may take any proceedings against any officer, employee or agent of the Agent in respect of any claim it might have against the Agent or in respect of any act or omission of any kind by that officer, employee or agent in relation to any Finance Document and any officer, employee or agent of the Agent may rely on this Clause subject to Clause 1.4 (*Third Party Rights*) and the provisions of the Third Parties Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The Agent will not be liable for any delay (or any related consequences) in crediting an account with an amount required under the Finance Documents to be paid by the Agent if the Agent has taken all necessary steps as soon as reasonably practicable to comply with the regulations or operating procedures of any recognised clearing or settlement system used by the Agent for that purpose.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige the Agent or the Arranger to carry out:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)any "know your customer" or other checks in relation to any person; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)any check on the extent to which any transaction contemplated by this Agreement might be unlawful for any Lender or for any Affiliate of any Lender,

on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Agent and the Arranger that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Agent or the Arranger.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Without prejudice to any provision of any Finance Document excluding or limiting the Agent's liability, any liability of the Agent arising under or in connection with any Finance Document shall be limited to the amount of actual loss which has been suffered (as determined by reference to the date of default of the Agent or, if later, the date on which the loss arises as a result of such default) but without reference to any special conditions or circumstances known to the Agent at any time which increase the amount of that loss. In no event shall the Agent be liable for any loss of profits, goodwill, reputation, business opportunity or anticipated saving, or for special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages, whether or not the Agent has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damages.

25.11**Lenders' indemnity to the Agent**

Each Lender shall (in proportion to its share of the Total Commitments or, if the Total Commitments are then zero, to its share of the Total Commitments immediately prior to their reduction to zero) indemnify the Agent, within three Business Days of demand, against any cost, loss or liability (including, without limitation, for

10328650694-v9 - 94 - 70-41102614

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever) incurred by the Agent (otherwise than by reason of the Agent's gross negligence or wilful misconduct) (or, in the case of any cost, loss or liability pursuant to Clause 28.11 (*Disruption to Payment Systems etc.*) notwithstanding the Agent's negligence, gross negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but not including any claim based on the fraud of the Agent) in acting as Agent under the Finance Documents (unless the Agent has been reimbursed by an Obligor pursuant to a Finance Document).

25.12**Resignation of the Agent**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Agent may resign and appoint one of its Affiliates acting through an office in the United Kingdom as successor by giving notice to the other Finance Parties and the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Alternatively the Agent may resign by giving 30 days' notice to the other Finance Parties and the Company, in which case the Majority Lenders (after consultation with the Company) may appoint a successor Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Agent in accordance with paragraph (b) above within 20 days after notice of resignation was given, the retiring Agent (after consultation with the Company) may appoint a successor Agent (acting through an office in the United Kingdom).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)If the Agent wishes to resign because (acting reasonably) it has concluded that it is no longer appropriate for it to remain as agent and the Agent is entitled to appoint a successor Agent under paragraph (c) above, the Agent may (if it concludes (acting reasonably) that it is necessary to do so in order to persuade the proposed successor Agent to become a party to this Agreement as Agent) agree with the proposed successor Agent and the Company amendments to this Clause 25 and any other term of this Agreement dealing with the rights or obligations of the Agent consistent with then current market practice for the appointment and protection of corporate trustees together with any reasonable amendments as agreed with the Company to the agency fee payable under this Agreement which are consistent with the successor Agent's normal fee rates and those amendments will bind the Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)The retiring Agent shall, at its own cost, make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under the Finance Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)The Agent's resignation notice shall only take effect upon the appointment of a successor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under paragraph (e) above) but shall remain entitled to the benefit of this Clause 25 (and any agency fees for the account of the retiring Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date). Its successor and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations

10328650694-v9 - 95 - 70-41102614

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)After consultation with the Company, the Majority Lenders may, by notice to the Agent, require it to resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above. In this event, the Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)The Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above (and, to the extent applicable, shall use reasonable endeavours to appoint a successor Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) above) if on or after the date which is three months before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment to the Agent under the Finance Documents, either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause 13.8 (*FATCA Information*) and the Company or a Lender reasonably believes that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the information supplied by the Agent pursuant to Clause 13.8 (*FATCA Information*) indicates that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)the Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

and (in each case) the Company or a Lender reasonably believes that a Party will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and the Company or that Lender, by notice to the Agent, requires it to resign.

25.13**Confidentiality**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)In acting as agent for the Finance Parties, the Agent shall be regarded as acting through its agency division which shall be treated as a separate entity from any other of its divisions or departments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If information is received by another division or department of the Agent, it may be treated as confidential to that division or department and the Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of it.

25.14**Relationship with the Lenders**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Subject to Clause 24.9 (*Pro rata Interest Settlement*), the Agent may treat the person shown in its records as Lender at the opening of business (in the place of the Agent's principal office as notified to the Finance Parties from time to time) as the Lender acting through its Facility Office:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)entitled to or liable for any payment due under any Finance Document on that day; and

10328650694-v9 - 96 - 70-41102614

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)entitled to receive and act upon any notice, request, document or communication or make any decision or determination under any Finance Document made or delivered on that day,

unless it has received not less than five Business Days' prior notice from that Lender to the contrary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Any Lender may by notice to the Agent appoint a person to receive on its behalf all notices, communications, information and documents to be made or despatched to that Lender under the Finance Documents. Such notice shall contain the address, fax number and (where communication by electronic mail or other electronic means is permitted under Clause 30.6 (*Electronic communication*)) electronic mail address and/or any other information required to enable the sending and receipt of information by that means (and, in each case, the department or officer, if any, for whose attention communication is to be made) and be treated as a notification of a substitute address, fax number, electronic mail address, department and officer by that Lender for the purposes of Clause 30.2 (*Addresses*) and paragraph (a)(ii) of Clause 30.6 (*Electronic communication*) and the Agent shall be entitled to treat such person as the person entitled to receive all such notices, communications, information and documents as though that person were that Lender.

25.15**Credit appraisal by the Lenders**

Without affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Lender confirms to the Agent and the Arranger that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Finance Document including but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status and nature of each member of the Group;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)whether that Lender has recourse, and the nature and extent of that recourse, against any Party or any of its respective assets under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information provided by the Agent, any Party or by any other person under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

25.16**Deduction from amounts payable by the Agent**

If any Party owes an amount to the Agent under the Finance Documents the Agent may, after giving notice to that Party, deduct an amount not exceeding that amount from any payment to that Party which the Agent would otherwise be obliged to make under the Finance Documents and apply the amount deducted in or towards satisfaction of the amount owed. For the purposes of the Finance Documents that Party shall be regarded as having received any amount so deducted.

25.17**Amounts paid in error** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If the Agent pays an amount to another Party and the Agent notifies that Party that such payment was an Erroneous Payment, then the Party to whom that amount was paid by the Agent shall, within 3 Business Days of being notified by the Agent that such payment was an Erroneous Payment, refund the same to the Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Neither:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the obligations of any Party to the Agent; nor

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the remedies of the Agent,

(whether arising under this Clause 25.17 or otherwise) which relate to an Erroneous Payment will be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this paragraph (b), would reduce, release or prejudice any such obligation or remedy (whether or not known by the Agent or any other Party).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)All payments to be made by a Party to the Agent (whether made pursuant to this Clause 25.17 or otherwise) which relate to an Erroneous Payment shall be calculated and be made without (and free and clear of any deduction for) set-off or counterclaim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)In this Agreement, "**Erroneous Payment**" means a payment of an amount by the Agent to another Party which was made in error.

26.**CONDUCT OF BUSINESS BY THE FINANCE PARTIES**

No provision of this Agreement will:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its affairs (tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it thinks fit;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)oblige any Finance Party to investigate or claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it or the extent, order and manner of any claim; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or any computations in respect of Tax.

27.**SHARING AMONG THE FINANCE PARTIES**

27.1**Payments to Finance Parties**

If a Finance Party (a "**Recovering Finance Party**") receives or recovers any amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with Clause 28 (*Payment mechanics*) and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery, to the Agent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 28 (*Payment mechanics*), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the "**Sharing Payment**") equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 28.6 (*Partial payments*).

27.2**Redistribution of payments**

The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) in accordance with Clause 28.6 (*Partial payments*).

27.3**Recovering Finance Party's rights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 27.2 (*Redistribution of payments*), the Recovering Finance Party will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have shared in the redistribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If and to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party is not able to rely on its rights under paragraph (a) above, the relevant Obligor shall be liable to the Recovering Finance Party for a debt equal to the Sharing Payment which is immediately due and payable.

27.4**Reversal of redistribution**

If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Finance Party, then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)each Finance Party which has received a share of the relevant Sharing Payment pursuant to Clause 27.2 (*Redistribution of payments*) shall, upon request of the Agent, pay to the Agent for account of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that

10328650694-v9 - 99 - 70-41102614

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)that Recovering Finance Party's rights of subrogation in respect of any reimbursement shall be cancelled and the relevant Obligor will be liable to the reimbursing Finance Party for the amount so reimbursed.

27.5**Exceptions**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)This Clause 27 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Obligor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other Finance Party any amount which the Recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)it notified that other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)that other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.

**SECTION 11<br>ADMINISTRATION**

28.**PAYMENT MECHANICS**

28.1**Payments to the Agent**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)On each date on which an Obligor or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document, that Obligor or Lender shall make the same available to the Agent (unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document) for value on the due date at the time and in such funds specified by the Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Payment shall be made to such account in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to euro, in a principal financial centre in a Participating Member State or London) with such bank as the Agent specifies.

28.2**Distributions by the Agent**

Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 28.3 (*Distributions to an Obligor*), Clause 28.4 (*Clawback*) and Clause 25.16 (*Deduction from amounts payable by the Agent*) be made available by the Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the Agent by not less than five Business Days' notice with a bank in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to euro, in the principal financial centre of a Participating Member State or London).

28.3**Distributions to an Obligor**

The Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with Clause 29 (*Set-off*)) apply any amount received by it for that Obligor in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that Obligor under the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied.

28.4**Clawback**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or perform any related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If the Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by the Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

28.5**Impaired Agent**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If, at any time, the Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, an Obligor or a Lender which is required to make a payment under the Finance Documents to the Agent in accordance with Clause 28.1 (*Payments to the Agent*) may instead either pay that amount direct to the required recipient or pay that amount to an interest-bearing account held with an Acceptable Bank and in relation to which no Insolvency Event has occurred and is continuing, in the name of the Obligor or the Lender making the payment and designated as a trust account for the benefit of the Party or Parties beneficially entitled to that payment under the Finance Documents. In each case such payments must be made on the due date for payment under the Finance Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)All interest accrued on the amount standing to the credit of the trust account shall be for the benefit of the beneficiaries of that trust account *pro rata* to their respective entitlements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)A Party which has made a payment in accordance with this Clause 28.5 shall be discharged of the relevant payment obligation under the Finance Documents and shall not take any credit risk with respect to the amounts standing to the credit of the trust account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Each Party which has made a payment to a trust account in accordance with this Clause 28.5 shall give all requisite instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the amount (together with any accrued interest) to the successor Agent for distribution in accordance with Clause 28.2 (*Distributions by the Agent*).

28.6**Partial payments**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If the Agent receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under the Finance Documents, the Agent shall apply that payment towards the obligations of that Obligor under the Finance Documents in the following order:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)**first**, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Agent and the Arranger under the Finance Documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)**secondly**, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest, fee or commission due but unpaid under this Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)**thirdly**, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal due but unpaid under this Agreement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)**fourthly**, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but unpaid under the Finance Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Agent shall, if so directed by the Majority Lenders, vary the order set out in paragraphs (a)(ii) to (iv) above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Paragraphs (a) and (b) above will override any appropriation made by an Obligor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

28.7**No set-off by Obligors**

All payments to be made by an Obligor under the Finance Documents shall be calculated and be made without (and free and clear of any deduction for) set-off or counterclaim.

28.8**Business Days**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Any payment which is due to be made on a day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal or Unpaid Sum under this Agreement interest is payable on the principal or Unpaid Sum at the rate payable on the original due date.

28.9**Currency of account**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Subject to paragraphs (b) to (e) below, the Base Currency is the currency of account and payment for any sum due from an Obligor under any Finance Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)A repayment of a Loan or Unpaid Sum or a part of a Loan or Unpaid Sum shall be made in the currency in which that Loan or Unpaid Sum is denominated on its due date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each payment of interest shall be made in the currency in which the sum in respect of which the interest is payable was denominated when that interest accrued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Each payment in respect of costs, expenses or Taxes shall be made in the currency in which the costs, expenses or Taxes are incurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Any amount expressed to be payable in a currency other than the Base Currency shall be paid in that other currency.

28.10**Change of currency**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Unless otherwise prohibited by law, if more than one currency or currency unit are at the same time recognised by the central bank of any country as the lawful currency of that country, then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)any reference in the Finance Documents to, and any obligations arising under the Finance Documents in, the currency of that country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency unit of that country designated by the Agent (after consultation with the Company); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by the central bank for the conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down by the Agent (acting reasonably).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Any transfer of rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Clause shall be subject to the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the Obligors shall have no right to replace the Agent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)the Defaulting Lender shall only be obliged to transfer its rights and obligations pursuant to paragraph (a) above once it is satisfied that it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to that transfer to the Replacement Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The Defaulting Lender shall perform the checks described in paragraph (b)(v) above as soon as reasonably practicable following delivery of a notice referred to in paragraph (a) above and shall notify the Agent and the Company when it is satisfied that it has complied with those checks.

## Ex-95

**EXHIBIT 95**

**MINE SAFETY VIOLATIONS AND OTHER LEGAL MATTER DISCLOSURES**

**PURSUANT TO SECTION 1503(a) OF THE DODD-FRANK WALL STREET**

 **REFORM AND CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT**

PacifiCorp and its subsidiaries operate certain coal mines and coal processing facilities (collectively, the "mining facilities") that are regulated by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA") under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the "Mine Safety Act"). MSHA inspects PacifiCorp's mining facilities on a regular basis. The total number of reportable Mine Safety Act citations, orders, assessments and legal actions for the year ended December 31, 2025 are summarized in the table below and are subject to contest and appeal. The severity and assessment of penalties may be reduced or, in some cases, dismissed through the contest and appeal process. Amounts are reported regardless of whether PacifiCorp has challenged or appealed the matter. Mines that are closed or idled that had no reportable events occurring at those locations during the year ended December 31, 2025 are not included in the information below. There were no mining-related fatalities during the year ended December 31, 2025. PacifiCorp has not received any notice of a pattern, or notice of the potential to have a pattern, of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that are of such nature as could have significantly and substantially contributed to the cause and effect of coal or other mine health or safety hazards under Section 104(e) of the Mine Safety Act during the year ended December 31, 2025.
