PFMAM 1-3 Year Fixed Income Composite includes all institutional fixed-income portfolios with the majority of their assets in securities with maturities or effective durations between 1 and 3 years, and that are managed against the ICE BofAML 1-3 Year US Treasury Index or an index with a similar effective duration. Accounts typically invest in US dollar denominated, investment-grade fixed-income securities, including US government securities, including bonds and notes of federal agencies, high quality money market, municipal and corporate debt instruments, generally limited to those rated A or better, and agency mortgage-backed securities. Accounts in this composite do not use leverage, complex derivatives, or short positions. Accounts in the composite will typically maintain an overall effective duration similar to that of the ICE BofAML 1-3 Year US Treasury Index, but may vary by plus or minus 25%, or more. Individual accounts may have policies that are more or less restrictive than those described above, in some cases significantly so, and may use specific benchmarks that differ from the composite benchmark used in this presentation.

The composite creation date is September 2003; the composite inception date is January 1, 1998. The minimum portfolio size for inclusion in the composite is $10 million. Only actual portfolios are included in the composites; the composite contains no simulated, model or non-fee-paying portfolios.

PRESENTATION
PFMAM 1-3 Year Fixed Income Composite
As of March 31, 2022
22 Composite performance is compared to the ICE BofAML 1-3 Year US Treasury Index.

Benchmark returns are provided to represent the investment environment that existed during the time periods shown. The ICE BofAML 1-3 Year US Treasury Index comprises all US Treasury securities (excluding TIPS and STRIPS) with maturities between 1 and 3 years and is rebalanced monthly.

B E N C H M A R K D E S C R I P T I O N
Valuations are computed, and performance results and asset values are reported in US dollars. Gross-of-fees returns are presented before management fees, custodial fees and taxes, but after brokerage and other transaction fees, if any. Returns include the reinvestment of income. A client’s return will be reduced by advisory fees and other expenses the portfolio may incur. PFMAM’s Asset Management standard investment advisory fee schedule is 0.25% per annum on first $25 million and 0.15% per annum on assets over $25 million, but actual fees may be higher or lower. Investment advisory fees are described in Part 2 of the firm’s Form ADV. Fees have a compounding effect on the net return of a portfolio. As an example, the effect of investment advisory fees on the total value of a client’s portfolio assuming (a) a $1,000,000 initial investment, (b) portfolio return of 4% a year, and (c) 0.25% per annum fee charged monthly, is shown in the following table:

P E R F O R M A N C E C A L C U L A T I O N S
Period
Ending Portfolio Value
Without Fees
(Gross)
After Fees
(Net)
1 Year $1,040,742 $1,038,147
5 Years $1,220,997 $1,205,853
10 Years $1,490,833 $1,454,081
Actual performance results may differ from composite returns, depending on the size of the account, investment guidelines and restrictions, inception date and other factors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. As with any investment vehicle, there is always the potential for gains as well as the possibility of losses. There can be no assurance that a client portfolio will meet its performance objective.

R I S K D I S C L O S U R E
A list of composite descriptions and a list of broad distribution pooled funds are available upon request. Policies for valuing investments, calculating performance, and preparing GIPS Reports are available upon request. Requests should be made to Kenneth Schiebel, CFA, at [email protected].

A D D I T I O N A L I N F O R M A T I O N
Internal dispersion is calculated using the equal-weighted standard deviation of the annual gross returns of those portfolios that were included in the composite for the entire year; for years where there are five or fewer portfolios in the composite for the full annual period, dispersion is not presented, as it is deemed not meaningful. Benchmark returns are presented on a gross basis.

PFMAM 1-5 Year Fixed Income Composite includes all institutional fixed-income portfolios with the majority of their assets in securities with maturities or effective durations between 1 and 5 years, and that are managed against the ICE BofAML 1-5 Year US Treasury Index or an index with a similar effective duration. Accounts typically invest in US dollar denominated, investment-grade fixed-income securities, including US government securities, including bonds and notes of federal agencies, high quality money market, municipal and corporate debt instruments, generally limited to those rated A or better, and agency mortgage-backed securities. Accounts in this composite do not use leverage, complex derivatives, or short positions. Accounts in the composite will typically maintain an overall effective duration similar to that of the ICE BofAML 1-5 Year US Treasury Index, but may vary by plus or minus 25%, or more. Individual accounts may have policies that are more or less restrictive than those described above, in some cases significantly so, and may use specific benchmarks that differ from those used as composite benchmarks in this presentation.

The composite creation date is September 2003; the composite inception date is January 1, 1998. The minimum portfolio size for inclusion in the composite is $10 million. Only actual portfolios are included in the composites; the composite contains no simulated, model or non-fee-paying portfolios.

PFMAM 1-5 Year Fixed Income Composite
As of March 31, 2022
28 Composite performance is compared to the ICE BofAML 1-5 Year US Treasury Index and the ICE BofAML 1-5 year AAA-AA US Corporate & Government Index. Benchmark returns are provided to represent the investment environment that existed during the time periods shown. The ICE BofAML 1-5 Year US Treasury Index comprises all US Treasury securities (excluding TIPS and STRIPS) with maturities between 1 and 5 years and is rebalanced monthly. The ICE BofAML 1-5 year AAA-AA US Corporate & Government Index comprises US dollar denominated investment grade debt publicly issued in the US domestic market, including US Treasury, US agency, certain foreign government and supranational debt, and corporate securities; all that meet common index qualifications, are rated AA3 or better, and have maturities between 1 and 5 years. The index is rebalanced monthly. The ICE BofAML 1-5 year AAA-AA US Corporate & Government Index was added as a second benchmark beginning 2012Q3 and is presented retroactively. The second benchmark was added to provide an additional comparison for those accounts with investment policies that permit a broader range of investments.

Valuations are computed, and performance results and asset values are reported in US dollars.

Gross-of-fees returns are presented before management fees, custodial fees and taxes, but after brokerage and other transaction fees, if any. Returns include the reinvestment of income.

A client’s return will be reduced by advisory fees and other expenses the portfolio may incur.

PFMAM’s asset management standard investment advisory fee schedule is 0.25% per annum on first $25 million and 0.15% per annum on assets over $25 million, but actual fees may be higher or lower. Investment advisory fees are described in Part 2 of the firm’s Form ADV. Fees have a compounding effect on the net return of a portfolio. As an example, the effect of investment advisory fees on the total value of a client’s portfolio assuming (a) a $1,000,000 initial investment, (b) portfolio return of 4% a year, and (c) 0.25% per annum fee charged monthly, is shown in the following table:

P E R F O R M A N C E C A L C U L A T I O N S
Period
Ending Portfolio Value
Without Fees
(Gross)

(Net)
1 Year $1,040,742 $1,038,147
5 Years $1,220,997 $1,205,853
10 Years $1,490,833 $1,454,081
Actual performance results may differ from composite returns, depending on the size of the account, investment guidelines and restrictions, inception date and other factors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. As with any investment vehicle, there is always the potential for gains as well as the possibility of losses. There can be no assurance that a client portfolio will meet its performance objective.

Internal dispersion is calculated using the equal-weighted standard deviation of the annual gross returns of those portfolios that were included in the composite for the entire year; for years where there are five or fewer portfolios in the composite for the full annual period, dispersion is not presented, as it is deemed not meaningful. Benchmark returns are presented on a gross basis.

PRESENTATION
3 Stress Scenarios for CY 2023 to CY2027 (five-year horizon):

1. Significant drop in energy prices including REC
• Higher PCIA and lower PG&E Gen Rate

2. Insufficient financial liquidity
• Price collapse triggers credit downgrade
• Collateral calls from counterparties and CAISO
• Increase in POLR (Provider of Last Resort) funding (called FSR – Financial Security Requirement)

3. PPAs default, renegotiate for higher prices, and/or delay start • RPS non-compliance penalty
• Replacement at higher prices

4. Load loss due to direct access and distributed load

5. Threat to Public Services or Facilities
Stress Test Scenarios
Extreme but plausible scenarios that can deplete reserves and make SVCE uncompetitive. • Ensure adequacy of
reserves and
organizational resiliency
• Guide development of
strategic plan
• Shape FY 22-23 budget
and reserve targets
• Price uncertainty Drives
the first 4 scenarios
Item 4

PRESENTATION
4 Expectation versus Analyses Results
Revenue sensitivity to market prices via PCIA and PG&E Gen rate impacts dwarf other stress factors.

Stress Case Expectation Results from Analyses

1. Prices Collapse Significant reduction in revenues and large draw of reserves
Same as expected

2. Price Collapse leads to
insufficient liquidity
Large draw of reserves Price collapse does not trigger any significant liquidity needs. New POLR requirements require $35 million in
liquidity.

3. PPAs default/delay/renegotiate
for higher prices
Price increases result in higher
replacement cost and higher
compliance penalties
Price increases lead to substantial increases in
revenues which far exceed expected increase in
procurement costs.

4. Load Loss Price Collapse leads to stranded
assets
Load loss helps the bleeding from negative margins
caused by significant reduction in revenues. Results are better than stress case 1.

Assumes current rate setting methodology continues.

8 Past, Current, and Stress Case Modeled Commodity Prices • Forward prices are at all time
high.
• Extreme case of runup in
prices
• Most of the increase occurred
in the last 12 months.
• Can’t predict future but price
trends could reverse, and
prices could drop equally or
more.
• Prices were trading at the
modeled stress test levels as
recently as 12 months ago.

Past Future
$/Mwhr
Item 4

PRESENTATION
9 Base Case
High forward prices result in low PCIA and high PG&E Gen Rates resulting in healthy SVCE Margins. • If current forward prices are realized
and other model assumptions prevail:
• Significant growth in reserves from forecast
2022 level of $227 to $322 at the end of 2023
• Continued strong growth in margins over the
next 5 years
• Caveats:
• PCIA and PG&E Gen Rate portfolio
assumptions based on public data as best
modeled by NewGen Consultants
• PG&E’s portfolio management strategy and
portfolio contents may change from those
modeled
• CPUC may moderate rate impacts
• Uncertainty increases further out in time
• Focus on delta of base case to stress

11 Risk Mitigations
Best mitigation is to hold sufficient financial reserves.

Use results of these analyses to propose reserve target for next fiscal year’s budget • Examples:

1. Target/Build reserves such that if scenario 2 were to occur, reserves do not fall below the minimum reserve threshold of holding 120 days of cash (DCOH) on hand over the next
• 2 years
Or
• 5 years

2. Build reserves such that if scenario 2 were to occur, reserves do not fall below the minimum reserve threshold of holding 120 DCOH over the next 2 years and 60 days DCOH over years 3 to 5. • Level selected determines funds for additional customer discounts and decarbonization programs Other Risk Mitigation:
• Revisit current energy hedging strategy
• Allow for loss in revenues from price collapse to be mitigated by reduction in power supply costs • Challenges:
• Determining level of hedging given uncertainty in modeling PCIA and PG&E Generation Rates • Increased volatility in Power Supply Costs, Budget, and Reserves Item 4

14 Illustrative Methodology for Setting Target Reserves 2023 Required
Reserve Level
2023 Required
DCOH
Available for Add'l
Expenditure*
Next 5 years Reserves Remain Above 120 DCOH $380 million 460 $0 Next 4 years Reserves Remain Above 120 DCOH $345 million 415 $0 Next 3 years Reserves Remain Above 120 DCOH $310 million 370 12 Next 2 years Reserves Remain Above 120 DCOH $275 million 329 $47 * Based on current base case modeling.

Illustrative Methodology: Target reserves such that if scenario 2 were to occur, reserves do not fall below the minimum reserve threshold of holding 120 days of cash (DCOH) on hand over the next 2 years.

Base Case Reserve Projection: $322 million
Less Reserve Target: $275 million
Available for Add'l Expenditure: $47 million

15 1. Significant Drop in Prices
Stress Scenario Construction*
• Energy: Statistical 1% low case prices
• RECs : 50% of current equilibrium curve
• RA : 50% of current RA cost
• Term : CY2023 to CY2027
• PCIA and PG&E gen-rate forecasts: NewGen
Model
• Price drops at once for all forward months and
stays at that level
• Hedges executed per ERM thresholds (hedge
to max targets)
• Current:
• Reserves to withstand the shocks
• Additional
• Additional reserves if needed
• Consider revising hedging strategy to
account for PCIA / gen-rate variability to
energy prices in the hedge plan
Mitigation Strategies
*Most stressful year modeled for term

16 2. Insufficient Financial Liquidity
Stress Scenario Construction
• Persistent price raise followed by a steep/quick price collapse
• e.g., 2006 to 2008 price raise followed by the credit crisis scenario happens in year 4.
• Take nat. gas forwards from 2006 to 2008 and replicate the % changes to current energy price levels.
• All new hedges to the generic counterparty - avg.
unsecured credit given to us.
• Ratable execution based on ERM thresholds
• Increase POLR funding/ FSR impact – is additional cash impact – ~$ 35M - depending on methodology adopted
• Current:
• Lockbox
• Reserves
• Additional
• Exploring more counterparties in lockbox
• Reframing of credit policy
• Additional reserves if needed

17 3. PPAs default and delay start
Stress Scenario Construction
• Some assets default and rest of them not online
yet will be delayed by ~6 months
• Valuation will include
• MTM of the defaulted assets and delays
(replacement at higher costs)
• SB350 penalties
• MTR penalties
• Current:
• Diversify technology
• Diversify counterparty
• Contractual language for delay damages
and default provisions
• Reserves to withstand the shocks
• Adding 10- year existing asset PPA to
exceed CP4 limits.
• Additional
• Additional reserves if needed

18 4. Load Loss Due to Direct Access and Distributed Load Stress Scenario Construction
• Load Loss of 10% in Year 3 and another 10% in
Year 5
• DER – replicate the IEPR scenarios delta from
baseline to high DER scenario
• Prices in years 3-5 collapse to one percentile
(load loss creates stranded asset risk)
• Current:
• Custom Pricing to lock Customers to 10
years
• DER - NEM reform
• Additional:
• Seek non-bypassable charges (NBC) from
CPUC. PG&E has it, we don't.
• Additional reserves if needed

• Modeling Errors
• Process Failures
• Governance and Risk Control Weaknesses
• Additional Risks from Regulatory and Legislative Actions • Additional Areas of Risks that can affect SVCE’s Services and Facilities
Other Potential Stress Test Scenarios
These could be considered in future analyses.
