**Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition**

On October 22, 2025, FirstEnergy Corp. ("FirstEnergy" or the "Company") issued a news release (the "Release") announcing its financial results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025, narrowing the Company's Core (non-GAAP) earnings guidance for the full year 2025, and affirming the Company's five year compound annual Core earnings growth rate target from 2025 to 2029. A copy of the Release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company has presented certain financial information in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and also on a non-GAAP basis. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's and its segments' performance and manage its operations and frequently references these non-GAAP financial measures in its decision-making, using them to facilitate historical and ongoing performance comparisons. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures included in Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, referenced below, provide consistent and comparable measures of performance of its businesses on an ongoing basis. Management also believes that such measures are useful to other interested parties to understand performance trends and evaluate the Company against its peer group by presenting period-over-period operating results without the effect of certain adjustments that may not be consistent or comparable across periods or across the Company's peer group. The Company has provided, where possible without unreasonable effort, quantitative reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the tables on page 4 of the Release.

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

**Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure**

In connection with the Release, the Company also made available FirstEnergy's 3Q 2025 Strategic and Financial Highlights (the "Highlights"), which is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The Highlights are available under the "Investor Relations" section of the Company's website, located at investors.firstenergycorp.com. Website addresses are included as inactive textual references only. Information on the Company's website is not, and will not be deemed to be, a part of this Current Report on Form 8-K or incorporated into any other filings the Company may make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Important information may be disseminated initially or exclusively via the Company's Investor Relations website; investors should consult the site to access this information.

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

**FirstEnergy Announces Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results** 

*Reports GAAP earnings of $0.76 per share for the third quarter, $1.85 per share year to date* 

*Delivers Core Earnings (non-GAAP) of $0.83 per share for the third quarter and $2.02 per share year to date; improvements of 9% and 15%, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2024* 

*Narrows full-year 2025 Core Earnings guidance range to $2.50 to $2.56 per share, in the upper half of original range* 

*Deployed over $4 billion in capital investments through September to support grid reliability and resiliency; increases 2025 investment program by 10% to $5.5 billion*

*Projects 30% increase in future transmission investments driven by industry transformation*

*Affirms 6-8% compounded annual Core Earnings growth rate from 2025 through 2029*

**AKRON, Ohio** – FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) today reported third quarter 2025 GAAP earnings of $441 million, or $0.76 per basic and diluted share, on revenue of $4.1 billion. This compares to third quarter 2024 GAAP earnings of $419 million, or $0*.*73 per basic and diluted share, on revenue of $3.7 billion. GAAP results include the impact of special items listed in the table below.

Core Earnings (non-GAAP) for the third quarter of 2025 were $0.83 per share, compared to $0.76 per share in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 9%.

Based on the strength of its year-to-date results and outlook for the balance of the year, FirstEnergy is narrowing 2025 Core Earnings guidance to $2.50 to $2.56 per share, in the upper half of its original range of $2.40 to $2.60 per share. The company deployed over $4 billion in

------

capital investments through the first nine months of 2025 and is increasing its planned investments from $5.0 billion to $5.5 billion this year. FirstEnergy also affirmed its 6-8% compounded annual Core Earnings growth rate target from 2025 through 2029. This growth is supported by the company's Energize365 capital investment plan, which includes $28 billion in investments from 2025 to 2029.

"Our strong results reflect our team's unwavering focus on creating value for our customers and investors," said Brian X. Tierney, FirstEnergy Board Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We remain ahead of plan on each of our key financial metrics, and we are well-positioned to deliver 2025 Core Earnings between $2.50 to $2.56 per share. Our solid execution also allowed us to increase our 2025 capital program by 10% – putting even more resources into making energy service more reliable and resilient for our customers and fueling our communities' and company's growth. We are in a great position to continue making these important investments in the years ahead.

"The proliferation of large data center load is transforming the electric industry, particularly in our region," Tierney added. "We see a strong need for additional transmission capital investments to reliably serve customers and move power where it's needed. We believe our transmission system, which is ideally situated in the middle of the PJM region, is a strategic advantage to FirstEnergy to support and enable this transformation. We currently expect total transmission investments to increase by 30% in our next 5-year capital plan, driving compound transmission rate base growth up to 18%.

"In West Virginia, we recently provided our recommendations to keep power affordable, accessible and reliable," Tierney continued. "As part of our Integrated Resource Plan, we are pursuing a project to add 1.2 gigawatts of dispatchable combined-cycle generation in the state that would be operational around 2031. This project is aligned with West Virginia's energy goals and would represent a 35% increase in FirstEnergy's current regulated generation portfolio."

------

**Third Quarter Results**

Third quarter 2025 Core Earnings benefited from the impact of new base rates in Pennsylvania and growth in transmission rate base under formula rate programs, partially offset by higher planned operating expense that was approved with new base rates and work that was accelerated into 2025.

In the Distribution segment, Core Earnings increased $0.03 per share compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to new base rates in Pennsylvania that went into effect on Jan. 1, 2025, and higher residential and commercial load. This was partially offset by higher planned operating expenses as described above.

In the Integrated segment, the company's capital investments in formula rate programs drove transmission rate base growth of 16% and benefited earnings by $0.03 per share. This was more than offset by a higher effective tax rate, lower distribution demand from commercial customers and higher planned operating expenses as described above.

In the Stand-Alone Transmission segment, Core Earnings increased $0.08 per share compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to a 9% increase in rate base resulting from capital investments and a lower effective tax rate.

In Corporate/Other, results were flat compared to the third quarter.

**Year-to-Date Results**

For the first nine months of 2025, FirstEnergy reported GAAP earnings of $1,069 million, or $1.85 per basic and diluted share, on revenue of $11.3 billion. This compares to GAAP earnings of $717 million, or $1.25 per basic share ($1.24 diluted), on revenue of $10.3 billion in the first nine months of 2024. GAAP results for both periods reflect the impact of special items listed below.

------

Core Earnings (non-GAAP) for the first nine months of 2025 were $2.02 per share, compared to $1.76 per share in the same period of 2024, an increase of 15%.

Core Earnings growth reflects the continued success of the company's regulated investment strategy, the impact of new base rates in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New Jersey, and higher weather-related distribution sales. These factors offset the impacts of higher planned operating expenses, which includes the impact of accelerated work, increased financing costs and dilution from the FET equity interest transaction that closed in March 2024.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures** 

We refer to certain financial measures, including Core Earnings (non-GAAP) per share ("Core EPS"), as "non-GAAP financial measures," which are not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and exclude the impact of "special items" from earnings attributable to FirstEnergy Corp., as reflected in the table above. Core EPS is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the respective period.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company's and its segments' performance and manage its operations and frequently references these non-GAAP financial measures in its decision-making, using them to facilitate historical and ongoing performance comparisons. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures of Core Earnings and Core EPS, including by segment, provide consistent and comparable

------

measures of performance of its businesses on an ongoing basis. Management also believes that such measures are useful to shareholders and other interested parties to understand performance trends and evaluate the company against its peer group by presenting period-over-period operating results without the effect of certain special items that may not be consistent or comparable across periods or across the company's peer group. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to complement, and are not considered as alternatives to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which for Core EPS is EPS attributable to FirstEnergy Corp. (GAAP), as reconciled in the above table. Also, such non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities.

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

**Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures** 

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

Non-GAAP Financial Matters 3 This presentation contains references to certain financial measures including Baseline O&M and Core Earnings per share ("Core EPS") as "non-GAAP financial measures," which are not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and exclude the impact of "special items," from EPS attributable to FirstEnergy Corp. for Core EPS. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company's and its segments' performance, and manage its operations and references these non-GAAP financial measures in its decision-making, using them to facilitate historical and ongoing performance comparisons. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures of Baseline O&M and Core EPS, including by segment, provide consistent and comparable measures of performance of its businesses on an ongoing basis. Management also believes that such measures are useful to shareholders and other interested parties to understand performance trends and evaluate the company against its peer group by presenting period-over-period operating results, excluding the impacts described above, that may not be consistent or comparable across periods or across the company's peer group. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to complement, and are not considered as alternatives to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which for Baseline O&M is Other Operating Expenses and for Core EPS is EPS attributable to FirstEnergy Corp. Also, such non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities. Special items represent charges incurred or benefits realized that management believes are not indicative of, or may obscure, trends useful in evaluating the company's ongoing core activities and results of operations, or otherwise warrant separate classification. Core EPS is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the respective period. A reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures, including 2025 Baseline O&M, 2025 Core EPS, and Core EPS compound annual growth rate projections, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is not provided because comparable GAAP measures are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying measures that would be necessary for such reconciliation. Specifically, management cannot, without unreasonable effort, predict the impact of these special items in the context of Core EPS guidance, or Core EPS growth rate projections because these items, which could be significant, are difficult to predict and may be highly variable. In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. These special items are uncertain, depend on various factors and may have a material impact on our future GAAP results. Strategic & Financial Highlights - October 22, 2025
