Segments Overview - FirstEnergy

FirstEnergy’s reportable segments are as follows, and FirstEnergy continues to evaluate segment performance based on earnings attributable to FE from continuing operations:

•Distribution Segment, which consists of the Ohio Companies and FE PA;

•Integrated Segment, which consists of MP, PE and JCP&L; and

•Stand-Alone Transmission Segment, which consists of FE's ownership in FET and KATCo.

FE and its subsidiaries are principally involved in the transmission, distribution and generation of electricity through its reportable segments: Distribution, Integrated and Stand-Alone Transmission.

FirstEnergy's Distribution segment, which consists of the Ohio Companies and FE PA, representing $11.1 billion in rate base as of December 31, 2025, distributes electricity through FirstEnergy’s electric operating companies in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The Distribution segment serves approximately 4.3 million customers in Ohio and Pennsylvania across its distribution footprint and purchases power for its default service or standard service offer requirements. The segment’s results reflect the costs of securing and delivering electric generation to customers, including the deferral and amortization of certain costs.

FirstEnergy's Integrated segment includes the distribution and transmission operations of JCP&L, MP and PE, as well as MP’s regulated generation operations, representing $10.2 billion in rate base as of December 31, 2025. The Integrated segment distributes electricity to approximately 2 million customers in New Jersey, West Virginia and Maryland across its distribution footprint; provides transmission infrastructure in New Jersey, West Virginia, Maryland and Virginia to transmit electricity and operates 3,610 MWs of regulated generation capacity located primarily in West Virginia and Virginia, which includes three solar generation sites, representing 30 MWs of generation capacity. The segment’s results reflect the costs of securing and delivering electric generation to customers, including the deferral and amortization of certain costs. Additionally, on October 1, 2025, MP and PE filed their integrated resource plan with the WVPSC proposing, among other things, the addition of 70 MWs of solar generation by 2028, and 1,200 MWs of natural gas combined cycle generation by 2031, which are expected to require an estimated capital investment of approximately $2.5 billion, as detailed in the filing. See Note 13., "Regulatory Matters," of the Combined Notes to Financial Statements of the Registrants for additional details.

FirstEnergy's Stand-Alone Transmission segment, which consists of FE's ownership in FET and KATCo, representing $5.4 billion in FirstEnergy-owned rate base as of December 31, 2025, includes transmission infrastructure owned and operated by the Transmission Companies and used to transmit electricity. The segment’s revenues are primarily derived from forward-looking formula rates, pursuant to which the revenue requirement is updated annually based on a projected rate base and projected costs, which is subject to an annual true-up based on actual rate base and costs. The segment’s results also reflect the net transmission expenses related to the delivery of electricity on FirstEnergy’s transmission facilities.

FirstEnergy's Corporate/Other reflects corporate support and other costs not charged or attributable to the Electric Companies or Transmission Companies, including FE’s retained pension and OPEB assets and liabilities of former subsidiaries, interest expense on FE’s holding company debt and other investments or businesses that do not constitute an operating segment, including FEV’s investment of 33-1/3% equity ownership in Global Holding. On July 16, 2025, FEV sold its entire 33-1/3% equity ownership in Global Holding, the holding company for a joint venture in the Signal Peak mining and coal transportation operations, at book value to WMB Marketing Ventures, LLC and Pinesdale LLC for $47.5 million. Also included in Corporate/Other for segment reporting is 67 MWs of generation capacity, representing AE Supply’s OVEC capacity entitlement. As of December 31, 2025, Corporate/Other had approximately $6.8 billion of external FE holding company debt.

Segments Overview - JCP&L

JCP&L's reportable operating segments are comprised of the Distribution and Transmission segments.

JCP&L's Distribution segment, representing $3.7 billion in rate base as of December 31, 2025, distributes electricity to approximately 1.2 million customers in New Jersey across its distribution footprint. The segment’s results reflect the costs of securing and delivering electric generation to customers, including the deferral and amortization of certain costs.

JCP&L's Transmission segment, representing $1.4 billion in rate base as of December 31, 2025, includes transmission infrastructure owned and operated by JCP&L that is used to transmit electricity. The segment’s revenues are primarily derived from forward-looking formula rates, pursuant to which the revenue requirement is updated annually based on a projected rate base and projected costs, which are subject to an annual true-up based on actual rate base and costs. The segment’s results also reflect the net transmission expenses related to the delivery of electricity on JCP&L’s transmission facilities.

Regulatory Accounting

FirstEnergy accounts for the effects of regulation through the application of regulatory accounting to the Electric Companies and the Transmission Companies as their rates are established by third-party regulators with the authority to set binding rates that are cost-based and can be charged to and collected from customers.

The Electric Companies and the Transmission Companies recognize, as regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities, costs that FERC and the various state utility commissions, as applicable, have authorized for recovery from or return to customers in future periods or for which authorization is probable. Without the probability of such authorization, costs currently recorded as regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities would have been charged or credited to income as incurred. All regulatory assets and liabilities are expected to be recovered from or returned to customers. Based on current ratemaking procedures, the Electric Companies and the Transmission Companies continue to collect cost-based rates for their distribution and transmission services; accordingly, it is appropriate that the Electric Companies and the Transmission Companies continue the application of regulatory accounting to those operations. Regulatory accounting is applied only to the parts of the business that meet the above criteria. If a portion of the business applying regulatory accounting no longer meets those requirements, previously recorded regulatory assets and liabilities are removed from the balance sheet in accordance with GAAP.

State Regulation and Federal Regulation

The following table summarizes the allowed ROE and the aggregate actual ROE of the Electric Companies and Transmission Companies as determined for regulatory purposes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025:

(1) Reflects a 0.5% reduction to the 10.38% approved ROE due to the January 2025 Sixth Circuit ruling eliminating the 50 basis point adder associated with RTO membership (see "Outlook - FERC Regulatory Matters - Transmission ROE Incentive" in Item 7., "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for additional information and discussion.

(2) On November 19, 2025, the PUCO issued an order in the Ohio Companies’ base rate case that authorized an ROE of 9.63%. New rates reflecting this order were not yet in effect as of December 31, 2025.

(3) Commission-approved settlement agreements did not disclose allowed ROE rates, however, 10.05% represents current PAPUC benchmark ROE used for DSIC purposes.

See "Outlook - State Regulation" in Item 7., "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for additional information and discussion.

See "Outlook - FERC Regulatory Matters" in Item 7., "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for additional information and discussion.

Environmental Matters

See "Outlook - Environmental Matters" in Item 7., "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for additional information and discussion.

Capital Requirements

The Registrants' businesses are capital intensive, requiring significant resources to fund operating expenses, construction and other investment expenditures, scheduled debt maturities and interest payments, dividend payments and potential contributions to its pension plan. See "Capital Resources and Liquidity" in Item 7., "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for additional information and discussion.

Supply Plan

Supply Chain

While supply lead times have not fully returned to levels prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, FirstEnergy continues to monitor the situation in light of demand increases across the industry, including due to data center usage, and the imposition of tariffs and retaliatory tariffs that have been, and may be, imposed by the U.S. government in response. FirstEnergy continues to implement mitigation strategies to address supply constraints and does not expect any corresponding service disruptions or any material impact on its capital investment plan. However, the situation remains fluid, and a prolonged continuation or further increase in demand, or the continuation of uncertain or adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflationary pressures and new or increased existing tariffs, could lead to an increase in supply chain disruptions that could, in turn, have an adverse effect on the Registrants’ results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.

Default Service

Certain of the Electric Companies have default service obligations to provide power to non-shopping customers who have elected to continue to receive service under regulated retail tariffs. These default service plans vary by state and service territory, and volume of sales can vary depending on the level of shopping that occurs. JCP&L’s default service, or BGS supply, is secured through a statewide competitive procurement process approved by the NJBPU. Default service for the Ohio Companies, FE PA and PE's Maryland jurisdiction are provided through a competitive procurement process approved by the PUCO (under the current ESP), PPUC (under the Default Service Plan) and MDPSC (under the SOS), respectively. If any supplier fails to deliver

4

power to any one of those Electric Companies’ service areas, the Utility serving that area may need to procure the required power in the market in their role as the default load serving entity. West Virginia electric generation continues to be regulated by the WVPSC.

Fuel Supply

MP has coal contracts with various terms to purchase approximately seven tons of coal for the year 2026, which, along with its 2025 year-end inventory levels, accounts for all of its forecasted 2026 coal requirements. MP has the ability to acquire additional tonnage through options available in its current contracts, as well as purchases through the spot market. The contracts expire at various times through 2030. This contracted coal is produced primarily from mines located in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. In order to meet emission requirements, MP holds contracts for a variety of reagents expiring at various times through 2031, as well as the ability to purchase additional reagents through the spot market. Additionally, MP is granted emission allowances by the EPA and purchases additional allowances as needed to meet emission requirements. See "Outlook - Environmental Matters" in Item 7., "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for additional information pertaining to the impact of increased environmental regulations on fuel supply.

System Demand

The maximum hourly demand in 2025, 2024 and 2023 for each of the Electric Companies was:

Regional Reliability

All of the Registrants' facilities are located within the PJM Region and operate under the reliability oversight of a regional entity known as RFC. This regional entity operates under the oversight of NERC in accordance with a delegation agreement approved by FERC.

Competition

Within FirstEnergy’s Electric Companies' distribution business, including JCP&L, there generally is no competition for electric distribution service in the Electric Companies’ respective service territories in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey and New York. Additionally, pursuant to FERC’s Order No. 1000 and subject to state and local siting and permitting approvals, non-incumbent developers can compete for certain PJM transmission projects in the service territories of certain of FirstEnergy’s Electric Companies' providing transmission services, including JCP&L, and the Transmission Companies. This has resulted in additional competition to build transmission facilities in the respective service territories while also allowing the opportunity to seek to build facilities in non-incumbent service territories.

Seasonality

The sale of electric power is generally a seasonal business, and weather patterns can have, and have in the past had, a material impact on FirstEnergy’s Electric Companies' operating results, including JCP&L. Demand for electricity in their service territories historically peaks during the summer and winter months. Accordingly, the Registrants' annual results of operations and liquidity position may depend disproportionately on its operating performance during the summer and winter. Mild weather conditions may result in lower power sales, and consequently, lower revenue, earnings and cash flow.
