1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Unless otherwise indicated, defined terms and abbreviations used herein have the meanings set forth in the accompanying Glossary of Terms.

FET, a consolidated VIE of FE, is the parent of the FET Subsidiaries. Through its subsidiaries, FET owns high-voltage transmission facilities in PJM, which consist of 12,515 circuit miles of transmission lines with nominal voltages of 500 kV, 345 kV, 230 kV, 138 kV, 115 kV, 69 kV and 46 kV in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland and Virginia. FET plans, operates, and maintains its transmission system in accordance with NERC reliability standards and other applicable regulatory requirements. In addition, FET and its subsidiaries comply with the regulations, orders, policies and practices prescribed by FERC and the PUCO, PPUC, WVPSC, MDPSC and VSCC.

FET also owns a 34% equity interest in Valley Link. On November 25, 2024, FET, DominionHV, and Transource formed Valley Link, which is the holding company responsible for managing and executing those projects awarded by PJM to the Valley Link Subsidiaries, and entered into a limited liability agreement. The Valley Link Subsidiaries comprise the entities that are expected to develop, construct, own, operate and maintain those transmission projects awarded by PJM.

On February 13, 2026, FET and Transource entered into the Grid Growth Operating Agreement, which established the general framework for Grid Growth to accept, design, develop, construct, own, operate and finance certain transmission projects, among others, awarded by PJM on February 12, 2026, to certain of the subsidiaries of Grid Growth. This general framework includes parameters regarding the relationship among the two members, confers governance rights to members so long as certain ownership percentages are maintained and defines the list of projects that Grid Growth will have the right to develop. The relative ownership interests of the members under the Grid Growth Operating Agreement are 50% for each of FET and Transource. Grid Growth is the sole owner of Grid Growth Ohio and owns an 80% interest in Grid Growth EHV, with Transource owning the remaining interest.

As of March 25, 2024, FET owns 100% of MAIT’s equity interests (Class A and Class B). FET presents FE’s ownership of FET’s special purpose membership interest net assets and net income as NCI. NCI is included as a component of equity on FET’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. So long as FE holds the FET special purpose membership interests, it will receive 100% of any Class B distributions made by MAIT.

On May 31, 2022, Brookfield acquired 19.9% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of FET. On March 25, 2024, Brookfield acquired an additional incremental 30% equity interest in FET. As a result of the closing of the transaction, Brookfield’s interest in FET increased from 19.9% to 49.9%, while FE retained the remaining 50.1% ownership interests of FET. FET continues to be consolidated in FirstEnergy’s financial statements. Pursuant to the terms of the FET P&SA II, in connection with the closing, Brookfield, FET and FE entered into the A&R FET LLC Agreement, which amended and restated in its entirety the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of FET. The A&R FET LLC Agreement, among other things, provides for the governance, exit, capital and distribution, and other arrangements for FET from and following the closing. Under the A&R FET LLC Agreement, as of the closing, the FET Board consists of five directors, two of whom are appointed by Brookfield and three of whom are appointed by FE.

FET and its subsidiaries follow GAAP and comply with the related regulations, orders, policies and practices prescribed by the SEC, FERC and the PUCO, PPUC, WVPSC, MDPSC and VSCC. The accompanying interim financial statements as of March 31, 2026, and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are unaudited, but reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements. The Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025, were derived from audited financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make periodic estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The reported results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for any future period.

These interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements and notes prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2026.

FET and its subsidiaries consolidate all majority-owned subsidiaries over which they exercise control and, when applicable, entities for which they have a controlling financial interest. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation as appropriate and permitted pursuant to GAAP. FET and its subsidiaries consolidate a VIE (MAIT) when it is determined to be a primary beneficiary. Investments in affiliates over which FET and its subsidiaries have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not have a controlling financial interest, follow the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the interest in the entity is reported as an investment in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the percentage of FET's ownership share of the entity’s earnings is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Economic Conditions

FET and the FET Subsidiaries continue to monitor supply lead times 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. In addition, ongoing geopolitical conflicts have contributed to volatility in global energy markets and fuel and transportation costs, which may further impact supply availability or pricing. FET and the FET Subsidiaries continue to implement mitigation strategies to address volatility in interest rates, inflation, and supply constraints and do not expect any corresponding service disruptions or any material impact on its capital investment plan. However, a prolonged continuation or further increase in demand, sustained or escalating geopolitical tensions, rising fuel costs, 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 FET’s consolidated results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.

Capitalized Financing Costs

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, capitalized financing costs on FET’s Consolidated Statements of Income include $17 million and $12 million, respectively, of allowance for equity funds used during construction and $6 million and $4 million, respectively, of capitalized interest.

Investments

Valley Link - On February 21, 2025, FET, DominionHV and Transource entered into the Valley Link Operating Agreement, which established the general framework for Valley Link and the Valley Link Subsidiaries to accept, design, develop, construct, own, operate and finance those transmission projects awarded by PJM to Valley Link . This general framework includes parameters regarding the relationship among the three members, confers governance rights to members so long as certain ownership percentages are maintained, as described below, and defines the list of projects that Valley Link will have the right to develop. Valley Link is the owner of the Valley Link Subsidiaries, which are organized in various states. On February 26, 2025, in response to the PJM 2024 RTEP Long-Term Proposal Window #1, PJM awarded two electric transmission projects to Valley Link estimated to be approximately $3 billion, with FET's share estimated to be approximately $1 billion.

As of February 21, 2025, the relative ownership interests of the members are FET (34%), DominionHV (30%), and Transource (36%), and Valley Link will not be consolidated with FET for financial or tax reporting purposes and expects to be accounted for under equity method accounting. As of March 31, 2026 and during the first quarter of 2026 investment balances and earnings recorded related to Valley Link were immaterial.

PATH-WV - FET owns 50% of the West Virginia Series (PATH-WV), which is a joint venture with a subsidiary of AEP. FET is not the primary beneficiary of PATH-WV, as it does not have control over the significant activities affecting the economics of PATH-WV. FET's ownership interest in PATH-WV is subject to the equity method of accounting.

In March 2024, PATH completed the process of terminating all of its FERC-jurisdictional rates and facilities, with the result that PATH no longer is a "public utility" and no longer is subject to FERC jurisdiction. FET and its non-affiliated joint venture partner have authorized the liquidation and dissolution of the PATH corporate entities in April 2026. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the equity method investment was $17 million, which is expected to be recovered through a liquidating distribution.

Segment Information

FET has one operating segment, which is the entire entity. FET's Consolidated Statements of Income are consistent with the internal financial reports used by FET's President, its CODM. FET's CODM uses earnings attributable to FET to regularly assess performance and considers actual versus budget variances to make operating decisions and allocate resources. FET considers Other operating expenses, Provision for depreciation, General taxes, Interest expense and Income taxes to be significant expenses. See the Consolidated Statements of Income. Total Assets are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Capital investments are reported within Cash Flows from Investing on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Pronouncements - The following new authoritative accounting guidance issued by the FASB has not yet been adopted. Unless otherwise indicated, management is currently assessing the impact such guidance may have on its financial statements and disclosures, as well as the potential to early adopt (where applicable). Management has assessed other FASB issuances of new standards not described below based upon the current expectation that such new standards will not significantly impact FET's financial statements.

ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)" (Issued in November 2024 and subsequently updated within ASU 2025-01): ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for FET beginning with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is permitted to be applied prospectively, and comparative disclosures are not required for reporting periods beginning before the effective date. Entities can elect to apply the new standard retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements.

ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (Issued in September 2025): ASU 2025-06 amends the existing standard that refers to various stages of a software development project to align better with current software development methods, such as agile programming. Under the new standard, entities will start capitalizing eligible costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and when it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. In evaluating whether it is probable the project will be completed; an entity is required to consider whether there is significant uncertainty associated with the development activities of the software. ASU 2025-06 is effective for FET beginning with the financials for the first quarter of 2028, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is permitted to be applied using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach.

ASU 2025-10, “Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities” (Issued in December 2025): ASU 2025-10 establishes authoritative guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants received by business entities. ASU 2025-10 requires that a government grant be recognized when it is probable that the entity will comply with the conditions of the grant and that the grant will be received. It permits two approaches for asset related grants either the cost reduction method (reduce the carrying amount of the asset) or the deferred income method (recognize income over the useful life of the asset). Income-related grants are recognized systematically in income as the related costs are incurred. ASU 2025-10 is effective for FET beginning with financials for the first quarter of 2029, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is permitted to be applied using a modified prospective, modified retrospective or full retrospective approach.

2. REVENUE

FET and its subsidiaries account for revenue from contracts with customers under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue from leases, financial instruments, other contractual rights or obligations and other revenues that are not from contracts with customers are outside the scope of the standard and accounted for under other existing GAAP.

The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue from contracts with regulated transmission customers for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, by transmission owner:


Revenues from Contracts with Customers by Transmission Asset Owner	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
	(In millions)
ATSI	$	282	$	263
TrAIL	65		70
MAIT	138		131

Total Revenue from Contracts with Customers	485		464
Other revenue unrelated to contracts with customers	7		4
Total revenues	$	492	$	468

3. INCOME TAXES

FET and its subsidiaries’ interim effective income tax rates reflect the estimated annual effective income tax rates for 2026 and 2025. These tax rates are affected by estimated annual permanent items, such as AFUDC equity and other flow-through items, as well as certain discrete items. The following table reconciles the effective income tax rate to the federal income tax statutory rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:


	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2026				2025
	Amount		%		Amount		%
Income before income taxes	$	185			$	165
Federal statutory income tax	$	39	21.0	%	$	35	21.0	%
Federal:

Nontaxable and Nondeductible:
AFUDC equity income	(4)		(2.2)	%	(3)		(1.8)	%


Other:
Excess deferred tax amortization	—		—	%	(1)		(0.6)	%




Other	—		—	%	(1)		(0.6)	%

State and municipal income taxes, net of federal effect (1)	8		4.3	%	7		4.2	%
Total income taxes (2)	$	43	23.2	%	$	37	22.4	%

(1) Pennsylvania makes up the majority of FET’s respective domestic state income taxes, net of federal effect.

(2) There were no amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2026, or 2025, related to tax credits, cross-border tax laws, changes in laws or rates, changes in valuation allowances, foreign tax effects, or changes in unrecognized tax benefits.

For federal income tax purposes, FET files as a consolidated group with its subsidiaries and maintains an intercompany income tax allocation agreement for the allocation of consolidated tax liability, including corporate AMT. Prior to the closing of the FET Equity Interest Sale, FET and its subsidiaries were included in the FirstEnergy consolidated group for federal income tax purposes and were parties to the FirstEnergy intercompany income tax allocation agreement.

On February 18, 2026, the U.S. Treasury and IRS issued guidance that allows certain tax repair deductions in computing corporate AMT. As a result of this guidance, FET reversed $10 million in corporate AMT credit carryforwards in the first quarter of 2026 related to corporate AMT incurred and paid in prior tax years, none of which had an impact to the effective tax rate. The FET consolidated tax group remains subject to the corporate AMT, but expects that this allowance for certain tax repair deductions will reduce future corporate AMT liability.

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the OBBBA, which makes permanent certain corporate tax incentives from the TCJA and accelerates the phase out of tax credits for wind and solar projects, but is not expected to materially impact FET.

During 2025, FERC issued orders to a non-affiliate concluding that, based on certain previously issued IRS private letter rulings, certain NOL carryforward deferred tax assets, as computed on a separate return basis, should be included in rate base for ratemaking purposes. FET determined in the third quarter of 2025 that these rulings and orders also would apply to certain of its subsidiaries, resulting in a benefit from a reduction in regulatory liabilities, reflected as the remeasurement of excess deferred income taxes, and an increase in accumulated deferred income tax assets for ratemaking purposes. FET made the appropriate updates in its annual formula rates for the impacted subsidiaries.

FET will continue to monitor and evaluate future tax legislation, guidance from the U.S. Treasury and/or the IRS, including guidance related to the corporate AMT, and developments concerning the regulatory treatment of income taxes by FERC and/or applicable state regulatory authorities, that could negatively impact FET’s cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

All borrowings with initial maturities of less than one year are defined as short-term financial instruments under GAAP and are reported as “Short-term borrowings” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at cost. Since these borrowings are short-term in nature, FET believes that their costs approximate their fair market value.

The following table provides the approximate fair value and related carrying value of long-term debt, which excludes unamortized debt issuance costs, discounts and premiums as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:


	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025
	(In millions)
Carrying value	$	6,750	$	6,750
Fair value	$	6,505	$	6,576

The fair values of long-term debt and other long-term obligations reflect the present value of the cash outflows relating to those securities based on the current call price, the yield to maturity or the yield to call, as deemed appropriate at the end of each respective period. The yields assumed were based on securities with similar characteristics offered by corporations with credit ratings similar to those of FET and the FET Subsidiaries. FET and the FET Subsidiaries classified short-term borrowings and long-term debt and other long-term obligations as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025.

FET had no issuances and redemptions during the three months ended March 31, 2026:

On April 21, 2026, ATSI issued $175 million of new 5.19% Senior Unsecured Notes due May 15, 2033. Proceeds are expected to be used to repay short-term borrowings, including short-term borrowings incurred to repay at maturity $75 million aggregate principal amount of ATSI’s 4.00% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026, to finance capital expenditures, for working capital, and for other general corporate purposes.

On April 30, 2026, MAIT issued $250 million of new 5.02% Senior Unsecured Notes due May 1, 2036. Proceeds are expected to be used to repay short-term borrowings, to finance capital expenditures, for working capital and for other general corporate purposes.

FET and the FET Subsidiaries may from time to time, seek to retire or purchase outstanding debt through open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as FET or the FET Subsidiaries may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

Senior Notes and Registration Rights

On August 13, 2025, FET issued $450 million of senior unsecured notes due in 2033, in a private offering that included a registration rights agreement in which FET agreed to conduct an exchange offer of these senior notes for the like principal amounts registered under the Securities Act within 366 days of closing of the offering. On November 4, 2025, FET filed a registration statement on Form S-4 for the exchange offer with the SEC, which was declared effective on December 3, 2025. On January 21, 2026, FET completed an exchange offer of these senior notes for like principal amounts registered under the Securities Act.

5. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

FET and its subsidiaries perform qualitative analyses to determine whether a variable interest classifies FET or its subsidiaries as the primary beneficiary (a controlling financial interest) of a VIE. An enterprise has a controlling financial interest if it has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. FET consolidates a VIE when it is determined that it is the primary beneficiary.

Consolidated VIEs

•MAIT - At its inception, MAIT issued Class A membership interests to FET and Class B membership interests to FE PA predecessors (PN and ME). The Class A interests represent the functional equivalent of managing interests, providing FET with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact MAIT's performance. The Class B interests represent the functional equivalent of economic interest conveying no kick-out or participating rights over the Class A membership interests. Management concluded that MAIT is a VIE and that FET is the primary beneficiary because FET has exposure to the economics of MAIT and the power to direct the significant activities of MAIT through its ownership

of the Class A membership interests. On January 1, 2024, FE PA, as successor-in-interest to PN and ME, transferred their respective Class B equity interests of MAIT to FE. FE ultimately contributed the MAIT Class B equity interests to FET in exchange for a special purpose membership interest in FET. The transfer of the Class B membership interests to FET during the first quarter of 2024 had no impact on MAIT's classification as a VIE.

FET has not provided any guarantees or other credit support for the benefit of MAIT or MAIT's creditors.

Unconsolidated VIEs

•PATH-WV - FET is not the primary beneficiary of PATH-WV, as further discussed above in Note 1., “Organization and Basis of Presentation – Investments," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to PATH-WV.

•Valley Link - As of March 31, 2026 Valley Link is considered a VIE. As of March 31, 2026 and during the first quarter of 2026 investment balances and earnings recorded related to Valley Link were immaterial. See Note 1., “Organization and Basis of Presentation – Investments," and Note 7., “Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to Valley Link.

6. REGULATORY MATTERS

FERC REGULATORY MATTERS

With respect to their transmission services and rates, the FET Subsidiaries are subject to regulation by FERC. Under the FPA, FERC regulates rates for transmission of electric power, regulatory accounting and reporting under the Uniform System of Accounts, and other matters. FERC regulations require the FET Subsidiaries to provide open access transmission service at FERC-approved rates, terms and conditions. Transmission facilities of the FET Subsidiaries are subject to functional control by PJM, and transmission service using the FET Subsidiaries transmission facilities is provided by PJM under the PJM Tariff.

Federally enforceable mandatory reliability standards apply to the bulk electric system and impose certain operating, record-keeping and reporting requirements on the FET Subsidiaries. NERC is the ERO designated by FERC to establish and enforce these reliability standards, although NERC has delegated day-to-day implementation and enforcement of these reliability standards to six regional entities, including RFC. All of the facilities that the FET Subsidiaries operate are located within the RFC region. FET actively participates in the NERC and RFC stakeholder processes and otherwise monitors and manages its companies, including the FET Subsidiaries, in response to the ongoing development, implementation and enforcement of the reliability standards implemented and enforced by RFC.

FET and the FET Subsidiaries believe that they are in material compliance with all currently-effective and enforceable reliability standards. Nevertheless, in the course of operating its extensive electric utility systems and facilities FET and/or the FET Subsidiaries occasionally learn of isolated facts or circumstances that could be interpreted as excursions from the reliability standards. If and when such occurrences are found, FET and the FET Subsidiaries develop information about the occurrence and develop a remedial response to the specific circumstances, including in appropriate cases “self-reporting” an occurrence to RFC. Moreover, it is clear that NERC, RFC and FERC will continue to refine existing reliability standards as well as to develop and adopt new reliability standards. Any inability on FET's and/or the FET Subsidiaries' part to comply with the reliability standards for its bulk electric system could result in the imposition of financial penalties, or obligations to upgrade or build transmission facilities, that could have a material adverse effect on FET's and/or the FET Subsidiaries' financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Transmission ROE Incentive

On February 24, 2022, the OCC filed a complaint with FERC against ATSI, AEP’s Ohio affiliate and American Electric Power Service Corporation, and Duke Energy Ohio, Inc. asserting that FERC should reduce the ROE utilized in the utilities’ transmission formula rates by eliminating the 50 basis point adder associated with RTO membership, effective February 24, 2022. The OCC contends that this result is required because Ohio law mandates that transmission owning utilities join an RTO and that the 50 basis point adder is applicable only where RTO membership is voluntary. On December 15, 2022, FERC denied the complaint as to ATSI and Duke Energy Ohio, Inc., but granted it as to AEP’s Ohio affiliate. AEP’s Ohio affiliate and OCC appealed FERC’s orders to the Sixth Circuit. On January 17, 2025, the Sixth Circuit ruled that the 50 basis point adder is available only where RTO membership is voluntary, that Ohio law requires Ohio’s transmission utilities to be members of an RTO, and that it was unlawful for FERC to excise the adder from AEP’s Ohio affiliate rates, but not from the Duke Energy Ohio, Inc. and ATSI rates. During 2024, as a result of the ruling, ATSI recognized a $46 million pre-tax charge, with interest, of which $42 million is reported in “Transmission Revenues” and $4 million is reported in “Miscellaneous income, net” on the Consolidated Statements of Income, to reflect the expected refund owed to transmission customers back to February 24, 2022. On June 20, 2025 and June 24, 2025, ATSI and AEP’s Ohio affiliate, respectively, applied for the Supreme Court of the U.S. to review the

Sixth Circuit’s decision. On November 10, 2025, the Supreme Court of the U.S. denied ATSI’s petition for the court to review the case. On November 13, 2025, the Sixth Circuit issued a mandate sending the case back to FERC for further proceedings.

Transmission ROE Methodology

A proposed rulemaking proceeding concerning transmission rate incentives provisions of Section 219 of the 2005 Energy Policy Act was initiated in March of 2020 and remains pending before FERC. Among other things, the rulemaking explored whether utilities should collect an “RTO membership” ROE incentive adder for more than three years. FirstEnergy is a member of PJM, and its transmission subsidiaries could be affected by the proposed rulemaking. FirstEnergy participated in comments on the supplemental rulemaking that were submitted by a group of PJM transmission owners and by various industry trade groups. If there were to be any changes to the FET Subsidiaries’ transmission incentive ROE, such changes will be applied on a prospective basis; provided however, due to the Sixth Circuit’s ruling in the Transmission ROE Incentive matter described above, ATSI is collecting the ROE incentive adder subject to refund.

Transmission Planning Supplemental Projects

On September 27, 2023, the OCC filed a complaint against ATSI, PJM and other transmission utilities in Ohio alleging that the PJM Tariff and operating agreement are unjust, unreasonable, and unduly discriminatory because they include no provisions to ensure PJM’s review and approval for the planning, need, prudence and cost-effectiveness of the PJM Tariff Attachment M-3 “Supplemental Projects.” Supplemental Projects are projects that are planned and constructed to address local needs on the transmission system. The OCC demands that FERC: (i) require PJM to review supplemental projects for need, prudence and cost-effectiveness; (ii) appoint an independent transmission monitor to assist PJM in such review; and (iii) require that Supplemental Projects go into rate base only through a “stated rate” procedure whereby prior FERC approval would be needed for projects with costs that exceed an established threshold. Subsequently, intervenors expanded the scope of this proceeding to all of the transmission utilities in PJM. The FET Subsidiaries’ and the other transmission utilities in Ohio and PJM filed comments.

Local Transmission Planning Complaint

On December 19, 2024, the Industrial Energy Consumers of America, a group representing large industrial customers, and state consumer advocates filed a complaint at FERC that asserts that transmission owners are overbuilding “local transmission facilities” with corresponding unjustified increases in transmission rates. The complaint demands that FERC: (i) prohibit transmission owners from planning “local transmission facilities” that are rated at 100 kV or higher, (ii) appoint “independent transmission monitors” to conduct such planning, and (iii) condition construction of local transmission facilities on the facility having been planned by the “independent transmission monitor.” FirstEnergy is participating in this matter through a consortium of PJM transmission owners and through certain trade groups, including EEI. FirstEnergy, together with the PJM transmission owners, filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on March 20, 2025, which is pending before FERC. FET is unable to predict the outcome or estimate the impact that this complaint may have on the FET Subsidiaries’, however, whether this lawsuit moves forward could have a material impact on FET and its transmission capital investment strategy.

Abandonment Transmission Rate Incentive

On February 26, 2025, PJM completed its 2024 RTEP Open Window 1 process and, among other actions, designated each of ATSI and PE to construct certain transmission projects. On July 11, 2025, ATSI and PE filed a joint application for the abandonment incentive with FERC, which, was approved on September 9, 2025. Effective September 10, 2025, ATSI and PE each became eligible to recover 50% of the project costs incurred prior to September 10, 2025, and 100% of the project costs incurred thereafter for any projects subsequently cancelled for reasons beyond the control of utility management.

Large Load Interconnection Rulemaking

On October 23, 2025, the U.S. Secretary of Energy directed FERC to conduct a rulemaking procedure to develop regulations that would speed interconnection to the transmission system of large loads, including “Artificial Intelligence” data centers and “hybrid” data center/electric generation facilities. The U.S. Secretary of Energy advanced 14 principles to guide this outcome, including that such large loads should be responsible for paying the costs of any network transmission system upgrades required for interconnection of such large loads, and that these large loads should have the option for building such network transmission upgrades. The U.S. Secretary of Energy requested that FERC take final action by April 30, 2026. On October 27, 2025, FERC noticed the U.S. Secretary of Energy’s directive for comment, and subsequently established November 21, 2025 as the deadline for initial comments and December 5, 2025 as the deadline for reply comments. FET and its transmission affiliates, as well as over 150 other parties, filed comments on the established deadlines. On April 16, 2026, FERC issued notice of its intent to take action in June 2026. FET is unable to predict the outcome of this rulemaking procedure. To the extent the new regulations do not permit transmission utilities to fully recover costs associated with transmission network upgrades required to serve new large loads, FET’s strategy of investing in transmission could be adversely affected.

Valley Link Formula Transmission Rate

On March 14, 2025, the Valley Link joint venture filed an application at FERC for forward-looking formula transmission rates to

provide for cost recovery for the portfolio of selected projects. Among other things, the transmission rate application provides for a hypothetical capital structure of 40% debt and 60% equity, and a base ROE of 10.9% with associated templates and protocols, as well as transmission rate incentives, including the abandonment rate incentive, the CWIP rate incentive, the RTO participation adder incentive, the hypothetical capital structure incentive, and the precommercial regulatory asset incentive. On May 14, 2025, FERC issued an initial order that, among other things, accepted the requested abandonment rate incentive, CWIP rate incentive, RTO participation adder incentive, and precommercial regulatory asset rate incentive, and allowed the formula rate to go into effect on May 13, 2025, as requested, subject to refund, pending further settlement and hearing proceedings. The most recent settlement conference was held on April 27, 2026, and settlement negotiations are ongoing. The hypothetical capital structure incentive and the other open rate design matters are being addressed in the confidential settlement negotiations.

Grid Growth Formula Transmission Rate

On March 6, 2026, the Grid Growth joint venture filed an application at FERC for new forward-looking formula transmission rates to provide for cost recovery for the portfolio of projects that PJM has designated for Grid Growth to construct and operate. Among other things, the transmission rate application provides for a hypothetical capital structure of 40% debt and 60% equity, and a base ROE of 10.8% with associated templates and protocols, as well as transmission rate incentives, including the abandonment rate incentive, the CWIP rate incentive, the hypothetical capital structure incentive, and the precommercial regulatory asset incentive. The application requests an effective date of May 6, 2026. On April 23, 2026, FERC issued a deficiency letter seeking additional information regarding Grid Growth’s protocols. Grid Growth has 30 days to respond.

7. COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES

GUARANTEES AND OTHER ASSURANCES

FET has various financial and performance guarantees and indemnifications which can be issued in the normal course of business. These contracts include debt guarantees, stand-by LOCs and surety bonds. FET enters into these arrangements to facilitate commercial transactions with third parties by enhancing the value of the transaction to the third party. The maximum potential amount of future payments FET and the FET Subsidiaries could be required to make under these guarantees as of March 31, 2026 was $150 million, as summarized below:


Guarantees and Other Assurances	Maximum Exposure
	(In millions)
Valley Link	$	102
Surety bonds(1)	35
LOCs	13

Total Guarantees and Other Assurances	$	150

(1) Surety bonds are not tied to a credit rating, and their impact assumes maximum contractual obligations, which is ordinarily 100% of the face amount of the surety bond except with respect to $1 million of surety bond obligations for which the collateral obligation is capped at 60% of the face amount, and typical obligations require 30 days to cure.

In 2025, FET, DominionHV and Transource issued an equity support agreement to enable Valley Link to enter into a credit facility with a third party. The equity support agreement expires once all Valley Link credit agreement obligations are satisfied or when FET has fulfilled its support obligations under the equity support agreement. As of March 31, 2026, the maximum exposure of FET’s support obligations relating to the Valley Link credit facility was $102 million.

COLLATERAL AND CONTINGENT-RELATED FEATURES

In the normal course of business, FET and the FET Subsidiaries may enter into physical or financially settled contracts. Certain agreements contain provisions that require FET or the FET Subsidiaries to post collateral. This collateral may be posted in the form of cash or credit support with thresholds contingent upon FET’s or the FET Subsidiaries’ credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. The collateral and credit support requirements vary by contract and by counterparty. FET and the FET Subsidiaries have posted $13 million of collateral, in the form of LOCs, as of March 31, 2026.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Various federal, state and local authorities regulate FET regarding air and water quality, hazardous and solid waste management and disposal, and other environmental matters. While FET’s environmental policies and procedures are designed to achieve compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, such laws and regulations are subject to periodic review and potential revision by the implementing agencies. FET cannot predict changes in regulations, regulatory guidance, legal interpretations, policy positions and implementation actions that may evolve.

On March 12, 2025, the EPA announced its intent to reevaluate or reconsider numerous environmental regulations, many of which apply to FET and the FET Subsidiaries. The final outcome of this initiative remains unknown, but regular required rulemaking processes and procedures still apply, and litigation as anticipated has occurred. The disclosures herein do not attempt to discern potential impacts of these deregulatory actions until and unless formal rulemaking or other regulatory actions are announced and the potential impacts to operations can be discerned.

OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are various lawsuits, claims and proceedings related to FET's normal business operations pending against FET or its subsidiaries. The loss or range of loss in these matters is not expected to be material to FET or its subsidiaries. The other potentially material items not otherwise discussed above are described under Note 6., "Regulatory Matters," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

FET accrues legal liabilities only when it concludes that it is probable that it has an obligation for such costs and can reasonably estimate the amount of such costs. In cases where FET determines that it is not probable, but reasonably possible that it has a material obligation, it discloses such obligations and the possible loss or range of loss if such estimate can be made. If it were ultimately determined that FET or its subsidiaries have legal liability or are otherwise made subject to liability based on any of the matters referenced above, it could have a material adverse effect on FET's or its subsidiaries' financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

8. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES

In addition to the intercompany income tax allocation and the short-term borrowing arrangement, FET and its subsidiaries have revenues, operating expense and interest expense transactions with affiliated companies, primarily FESC and the Electric Companies. The affiliated company transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, are as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
		2026		2025
		(In millions)
Revenues		$	7	$	4

Other operating expenses:
Ground lease expense		6		6
FESC support services(1)		61		65
Other affiliate support services(1)		28		33
Interest income		2		2

Interest expense		—		1

(1) Includes amounts capitalized of $51 million and $52 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

FE does not bill directly or allocate any of its costs to any subsidiary company. FESC provides corporate support and other services, including executive administration, accounting and finance, risk management, human resources, corporate affairs, communications, information technology, legal services and other similar services at cost, in accordance with its cost allocation manual, to affiliated FirstEnergy companies under FESC agreements. Allocated costs are for services that are provided on behalf of more than one company, or costs that cannot be precisely identified and are allocated using formulas developed by FESC. Intercompany transactions are generally settled under commercial terms within thirty days.

As FET and its subsidiaries do not have employees, employees from the Electric Companies perform maintenance and project work in support of FET and its subsidiaries. Labor and overhead costs associated with these activities are charged by the affiliates to FET's subsidiaries at cost.

As regulated money pool participants, the FET Subsidiaries have the ability to borrow from each other, regulated affiliates and the FE holding company to meet their short-term working capital requirements. Affiliated company notes receivables and payables related to the money pool are reported as "Notes receivable from affiliated companies" or "Short-term borrowings - affiliated companies" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Affiliate accounts receivable and accounts payable balances relate to intercompany transactions that have not yet settled through the money pool.

purposes and were parties to the FirstEnergy intercompany income tax allocation agreement. See Note 3., "Income Taxes," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

In addition to service costs, interest on obligations, expected return on plan assets, and prior service costs, FirstEnergy recognizes in net periodic benefit costs a pension and OPEB mark-to-market adjustment for the change in the fair value of plan assets and net actuarial gains and losses annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and whenever a plan is determined to qualify for a remeasurement. FET's subsidiaries are allocated a portion of net periodic benefit costs from affiliates. These amounts are expected to be refunded or recovered through formula transmission rates. Additionally, other pension and OPEB net periodic costs (credits) allocated to FET's subsidiaries from affiliates were approximately $2 million and $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

FET presents FE’s ownership of FET’s special purpose membership interest net assets and net income as NCI, which is included as a component of equity on FET’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

ATSI has a ground lease with the Ohio Companies and FE PA under an operating lease agreement. Land use is rented to ATSI under the terms and conditions of a ground lease. ATSI, the Ohio Companies and FE PA reserve the right to use (and to permit authorized others to use) the land for any purpose that does not cause a violation of electrical safety code or applicable law, or does not impair ATSI's ability to satisfy its service obligations. Additional uses of such land for ATSI's facilities require prior written approval from the applicable operating companies. ATSI purchases directly any new property acquired for transmission use. ATSI makes fixed quarterly lease payments for the ground lease through December 31, 2049, unless terminated prior to maturity, or extended by ATSI for up to 10 additional successive periods of 50 years each.

MAIT has a ground lease with FE PA under an operating lease agreement. FE PA reserves the right to use (and to permit authorized others to use) the land for any purpose that does not cause a violation of electrical safety code or applicable law, or does not impair MAIT's ability to satisfy its service obligations. Additional uses of such land for MAIT's facilities require prior written approval from the applicable operating company. MAIT purchases directly any new property acquired for transmission use. MAIT makes variable quarterly lease payments through January 1, 2043, unless terminated prior to maturity, or extended by MAIT for up to two additional successive periods of 25 years each and one successive term of 24 years.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

FIRSTENERGY TRANSMISSION, LLC

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Form 10-Q discusses the three months ended March 31, 2026 and year-over-year comparisons between the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and should be read in conjunction with FET’s interim financial statements and notes included in this Form 10-Q, and the its audited financial statements and notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7. in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2026.

FET'S BUSINESS

FET was organized as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware in 2006. On May 31, 2022, Brookfield acquired 19.9% of the membership interests of FET. On March 25, 2024, Brookfield acquired an additional 30% of the outstanding membership interests of FET. As a result, Brookfield’s equity interest in FET increased to 49.9%, while FE retained the remaining 50.1% equity interest in FET. FET is a consolidated VIE of FE. On January 1, 2024, PN and ME contributed their respective Class B equity interests of MAIT to FE, which were ultimately contributed to FET in exchange for a special purpose membership interest in FET. So long as FE holds the FET special purpose membership interests, it will receive 100% of any Class B distributions made by MAIT.

FET is the holding company for the FET Subsidiaries. Through its subsidiaries, FET owns and operates high-voltage transmission facilities within the PJM Region, which consist of 12,515 circuit miles of transmission lines with nominal voltages of 500 kV, 345 kV, 230 kV, 138 kV, 115 kV, 69 kV and 46 kV in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland and Virginia. FET has a single operating segment. FET’s revenues are derived primarily from the FET Subsidiaries. The FET Subsidiaries, in turn, derive nearly all of their revenues from providing network transmission service, point-to-point transmission service, and scheduling, control and dispatch service over their respective systems. The FET Subsidiaries are subject to regulation by FERC and applicable state regulatory authorities. The FET Subsidiaries' rate base was $8.8 billion as of December 31, 2025.

The FET Subsidiaries' transmission facilities are connected to generation resources, distribution facilities and neighboring transmission systems. The transmission facilities currently transmit electricity in PJM from generating stations to local electricity distribution facilities located, in the case of ATSI, primarily in Ohio and Pennsylvania, in the case of MAIT, primarily in Pennsylvania, and in the case of TrAIL, primarily in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and northern Virginia.

As transmission-only companies, the FET Subsidiaries function as conduits, moving power from affiliated and unaffiliated generators to local distribution facilities or to interconnected transmission systems either entirely through their own systems or in conjunction with neighboring transmission systems. Affiliated and unaffiliated entities then distribute power through these local distribution facilities to end-use customers. The transmission of electricity by the FET Subsidiaries is a central function to the provision of electricity to residential, commercial and industrial end-use customers. PJM, on behalf of the FET Subsidiaries, charges rates established by the FET Subsidiaries using a forward-looking cost-of-service formula rate template on file with FERC.

The FET Subsidiaries, together with PJM, plans, operates and maintains its transmission systems in accordance with the reliability standards developed by NERC and approved by FERC to ensure reliable service to customers. The business strategy for its transmission systems is to operate, maintain and invest in transmission infrastructure to continue to ensure system integrity and reliability and to prudently manage expenses, capital expenditures and regulatory compliance.

FERC policy currently permits recovery of prudently incurred costs associated with expansion and updating of transmission infrastructure within its jurisdiction. FERC's policies on recovery of transmission costs continue to evolve, evidenced by ongoing proceedings to determine an appropriate ROE methodology to determine transmission ROEs, to determine whether FERC's existing policies on transmission rate incentives should be revised, and to determine whether transmission utilities will be permitted to invest in transmission system network upgrades that are constructed to serve AI-related facilities such as data centers.

PJM RTEP Long-Term Proposal Window Projects

On February 21, 2025, FET, DominionHV and Transource entered into the Valley Link Operating Agreement, which established the general framework for Valley Link and the Valley Link Subsidiaries to accept, design, develop, construct, own, operate and finance those transmission projects awarded by PJM to Valley Link. This general framework includes parameters regarding the relationship among the three members, confers governance rights to its members so long as certain ownership percentages are maintained, as described below, and defines the list of projects that Valley Link will have the right to develop. Valley Link is the owner of the Valley Link Subsidiaries, which are organized in various states. On February 26, 2025, in response to the PJM 2024 RTEP Long-Term Proposal Window #1, PJM awarded two electric transmission projects to Valley Link estimated to be

approximately $3 billion, with FET’s share estimated to be approximately $1 billion.

On February 13, 2026, FET and Transource entered into the Grid Growth Operating Agreement, which established the general framework for Grid Growth to accept, design, develop, construct, own, operate and finance certain transmission projects awarded by PJM to certain of the subsidiaries of Grid Growth. This general framework includes parameters regarding the relationship among the two members, confers governance rights to members so long as certain ownership percentages are maintained and defines the list of projects that Grid Growth will have the right to develop. The relative ownership interests of the members are 50% by each of FET and Transource. Grid Growth is the sole owner of Grid Growth Ohio and owns an 80% interest in Grid Growth EHV, with Transource owning the remaining interest. On February 12, 2026, in response to the PJM 2025 RTEP Long-Term Proposal Window #1, PJM awarded a project to Grid Growth estimated to be approximately $1 billion, with FET’s share estimated to be approximately $448 million.

As part of its investment plan, FET and the FET Subsidiaries expect to continue to consider opportunities to submit transmission projects through the PJM Open Window process to address expansion projects including opportunities in the 2026 PJM Open Window.

Energize365

A robust plan for customer-focused growth, Energize365 is the centerpiece of FET's regulated transmission capital investment strategy that aims to utilize all investments to support its strategic priorities including clean energy, improving grid reliability and resiliency and supporting the clean energy transition. Through the Energize365 program, FET expects to spend approximately $11.6 billion in system-wide capital investments from 2026 through 2030. FET believes there is a continued long-term pipeline of investment opportunities for its existing transmission infrastructure beyond those identified through 2030.

Summary of Results of Operations — First Three Months of 2026 Compared with First Three Months of 2025

Earnings Attributable to FirstEnergy Transmission, LLC	$	123	$	109	$	14

Results of Operations— First Three Months of 2026 Compared with First Three Months of 2025

Earnings attributable to FET increased by $14 million in the first three months of 2026, as compared to the same period of 2025, primarily due to higher revenues from regulated capital investments that increased rate base and higher capitalized financing costs, partially offset by higher interest expenses from new long-term debt issuances.

Revenues

Total revenues increased by $24 million in the first three months of 2026, as compared to the same period of 2025, primarily due to a higher overall rate base, partially offset by lower recovery of transmission operating expenses.

Revenues by transmission asset owner are shown in the following table:


	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
Revenues by Transmission Asset Owner	2026		2025		Change
			(In millions)
ATSI	$	289	$	268	$	21
TrAIL	67		71		(4)
MAIT	139		132		7

Intercompany Eliminations	(3)		(3)		—
Total Consolidated Revenues	$	492	$	468	$	24

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses decreased by $2 million in the first three months of 2026, as compared to the same period of 2025, primarily due to lower operating and maintenance expenses partially offset by higher depreciation and property tax expenses. Nearly all operating expenses are recovered through formula rates.

Other Expenses

Total other expenses increased by $6 million in the first three months of 2026, as compared to the same period of 2025, primarily due to higher interest expenses from new long-term debt issuances, partially offset by higher capitalized financing costs.

Income Taxes

FET's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, was 23.2% and 22.4%, respectively.

REGULATORY ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Regulatory assets represent incurred costs that have been deferred because of their probable future recovery from customers through regulated rates. Regulatory liabilities represent amounts that are expected to be credited to customers through future regulated rates or amounts collected from customers for costs not yet incurred. The FET Subsidiaries net their regulatory assets and liabilities based on federal jurisdictions.

Management assesses the probability of recovery of regulatory assets, and settlement of regulatory liabilities, at each balance sheet date and whenever new events occur. Factors that may affect probability relate to changes in the regulatory environment, issuance of a regulatory commission order or passage of new legislation. Upon material changes to these factors, where applicable, FET will record new regulatory assets and liabilities and will assess whether it is probable that currently recorded regulatory assets and liabilities will be recovered or settled in future rates.

The following table provides information about the composition of net regulatory assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, and the changes during the three months ended March 31, 2026:


Net Regulatory Assets (Liabilities) by Source	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025		Change
	(In millions)
Customer payables for future income taxes	$	(481)	$	(487)	$	6
Asset removal costs	58		33		25
Deferred transmission costs	(73)		(48)		(25)
MISO exit fee(1)	20		21		(1)
Vegetation management costs(1)	5		5		—

Net Regulatory Liabilities included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets	$	(471)	$	(476)	$	5

(1) These regulatory assets do not earn a current return, but they are currently being recovered by rates.

The following is a description of the regulatory assets and liabilities described above:

Customer payables for future income taxes - Reflects amounts to be recovered or refunded through future rates to pay income taxes that become payable when rate revenue is provided to recover items such as AFUDC-equity and depreciation of property, plant and equipment for which deferred income taxes were not recognized for ratemaking purposes, including amounts attributable to federal and state tax rate changes such as the TCJA and Pennsylvania House Bill 1342. These amounts are being amortized over the period in which the related deferred tax assets reverse, which is generally over the expected life of the underlying asset.

Asset removal costs - Reflects amounts to be recovered or refunded through future rates to pay for the cost of activities to remove assets that are expected to be incurred at the time of retirement.

Deferred transmission costs - Reflects differences between revenues earned based on actual costs for the FET Subsidiaries' formula transmission rates and the amounts billed, which amounts are recorded as a regulatory asset or liability and recovered or refunded, respectively, in subsequent periods.

MISO exit fee - Relates to the recovery of certain costs from the transfer of control of ATSI's transmission assets from MISO to PJM (amortized through 2030).

Vegetation management costs - Relates to regulatory assets associated with the recovery of certain transmission vegetation management costs at ATSI (amortized through 2030).

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

FET expects its existing sources of liquidity to remain sufficient to meet its anticipated obligations. FET's and the FET Subsidiaries' business is capital intensive, requiring significant resources to fund operating expenses, construction and other expenditures, scheduled debt maturities, interest and distribution payments.

The payment of distributions is reviewed by FET's senior management on an ongoing basis. They review earnings, cash, capital structures, restrictions and expected ongoing cash and earnings prior to a distribution recommendation being made for consideration and authorization by the FET Board. Additionally, so long as FE holds the FET special purpose membership interests, it will receive 100% of any Class B distributions made by MAIT.

In addition to internal sources to fund liquidity and capital requirements for 2026 and beyond, FET and the FET Subsidiaries expect to rely on external sources of funds. Short-term cash requirements not met by cash provided from operations are generally satisfied through affiliated and non-affiliated short-term borrowings. Long-term cash needs may be met through the issuance of long-term debt or equity contributions from FE and/or Brookfield. FET and the FET Subsidiaries expect that borrowing capacity under the Credit Facilities will continue to be available to manage working capital requirements along with continued access to long-term capital markets.

Any financing plans by FET and the FET Subsidiaries including, but not limited to, the raising of equity and issuance of debt, and the refinancing of short-term and maturing long-term debt are subject to market conditions and other factors. No assurance can be given that any such issuances, financing or refinancing, as the case may be, will be completed as anticipated or at all. Any delay in the completion of financing plans could require FET and the FET Subsidiaries to utilize short-term borrowing capacity, which could impact available liquidity. In addition, FET and the FET Subsidiaries expect to continually evaluate any planned financings, which may result in changes from time to time.

government in response. In addition, ongoing geopolitical conflicts have contributed to volatility in global energy markets and fuel and transportation costs, which may further impact supply availability or pricing. FET and the FET Subsidiaries continue to implement mitigation strategies to address volatility in interest rates, inflation, and supply constraints and do not expect any corresponding service disruptions or any material impact on its capital investment plan. However, a prolonged continuation or further increase in demand, sustained or escalating geopolitical tensions, rising fuel costs, 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 FET’s consolidated results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.

As of March 31, 2026, FET's net deficit in working capital (current assets less current liabilities) was approximately $704 million, primarily due to current portion of long-term debt, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, and accrued interest and taxes. FET believes its cash from operations and available liquidity will be sufficient to meet its current working capital needs. See further discussion on cash from operations below.

Short-Term Borrowings / Revolving Credit Facilities

On October 27, 2025, FET and the FET subsidiaries entered into amendments to their respective credit facilities to, among other things: (i) remove the 10 basis point credit spread adjustment from the interest rate calculation; (ii) permit a one-week interest period for any Term Benchmark Advance (as defined under each of the Amended Credit Facilities) based upon daily simple SOFR; and (iii) extend the maturity date of each credit facility for an additional one-year period (a) from October 20, 2029 to October 20, 2030, for the FET credit facility and (b) from October 18, 2028 to October 18, 2029 for the FET Subsidiaries’ credit facility.

Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facilities may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Generally, borrowings under the Amended Credit Facilities are available to each borrower separately and mature on the earlier of 364 days from the date of borrowing or the commitment termination date, as the same may be extended. The Amended Credit Facilities contain financial covenants requiring each borrower to maintain a consolidated debt-to-total-capitalization ratio (as defined under the Amended Credit Facilities) of no more than 65%, and 75% for FET, measured at the end of each fiscal quarter.

The Amended Credit Facilities bear interest at fluctuating interest rates, primarily based on SOFR, including term SOFR and daily simple SOFR. FET has not hedged its interest rate exposure with respect to its floating rate debt. Accordingly, FET's interest expense for any particular period will fluctuate based on SOFR and other variable interest rates. Restricted access to capital markets and/or increased borrowing costs could have an adverse effect on FET's results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and liquidity.

FET had $321 million and $246 million of outstanding short-term borrowings as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. FET’s available liquidity from external sources as of April 27, 2026 was as follows:


Revolving Credit Facility	Maturity	Commitment		Available Liquidity
		(In millions)
FET	October 2030	$	1,000	$	680
ATSI, MAIT and TrAIL	October 2029	850		849
	Subtotal	$	1,850	$	1,529
Cash and cash equivalents		—		16
	Total	$	1,850	$	1,545

The following table summarizes the limitations on short-term indebtedness applicable to each borrower under current regulatory approvals and applicable statutory and/or charter limitations as of March 31, 2026:


Individual Borrower	Regulatory Debt Limitations			Credit Facility Commitment			Debt-to-Total-Capitalization Ratio
	(In millions)
FET		N/A			$	1,000		65.5	%
ATSI(1)		$	500		350			39.7	%
MAIT(1)		400			350			35.8	%
TrAIL(1)		400			150			39.2	%

(1) Regulatory debt limitations include amounts which may be borrowed under the regulated companies’ money pool.

Subject to each borrower’s sublimit, the amounts noted below are available for the issuance of LOCs (subject to borrowings drawn under the Amended Credit Facilities) expiring up to one year from the date of issuance. The stated amount of outstanding LOCs will count against total commitments available under the Amended Credit Facilities and against the borrowers' borrowing sublimit. As of March 31, 2026, FET and the FET Subsidiaries had $13 million in outstanding LOCs, $1 million of which are issued under the Credit Facilities.


Revolving Credit Facility	LOC Availability as of March 31, 2026		LOC Utilized as of March 31, 2026
	(In millions)
FET	$	100	$	—
ATSI, MAIT and TrAIL	200		1

The Amended Credit Facilities do not contain provisions that restrict the ability to borrow or accelerate payment of outstanding advances in the event of any change in credit ratings of the borrowers. Pricing is defined in “pricing grids,” whereby the cost of funds borrowed under the Credit Facilities are related to the credit ratings of the company borrowing the funds. Additionally, borrowings under the Amended Credit Facilities are subject to the usual and customary provisions for acceleration upon the occurrence of events of default, including a cross-default for other indebtedness in excess of $100 million.

As of March 31, 2026, FET and the FET Subsidiaries were in compliance with the applicable debt-to-total-capitalization ratio covenants in each case as defined under the Amended Credit Facilities.

FirstEnergy Money Pools

As regulated money pool participants, the FET Subsidiaries have the ability to borrow from each other, regulated affiliates and FE to meet their short-term working capital requirements.

FESC administers these money pools and tracks surplus funds of FE and the respective regulated and unregulated subsidiaries, as the case may be, as well as proceeds available from bank borrowings. Companies receiving a loan under the money pool agreements must repay the principal amount of the loan, together with accrued interest, within 364 days of borrowing the funds. The rate of interest is the same for each company receiving a loan from their respective pool and is based on the average cost of funds available through the pool.

For the Three Months Ended March 31,	4.22%	4.93%

Long-Term Debt Capacity

FET's and the FET Subsidiaries' access to capital markets and costs of financing are influenced by the credit ratings of their securities. The following table displays FET's and the FET Subsidiaries' credit ratings as of April 27, 2026:

The applicable undrawn and drawn margin on the credit facilities are subject to ratings-based pricing grids. The applicable fee paid on the undrawn commitments and on actual borrowings under the credit facilities are based on FET's senior unsecured non-credit enhanced debt ratings as determined by S&P and Moody's.

FET and the FET Subsidiaries are subject to debt-to-total-capitalization ratios of 75% and 65%, respectively. FET, ATSI, MAIT, and TrAIL could issue debt of approximately $4.1 billion, $3.7 billion, $3.5 billion, and $1.1 billion, respectively, or incur a reduction of equity of approximately $1.4 billion, $2.0 billion, $1.9 billion, and $604 million, respectively, and would remain within the limitations of the financial covenant requirements as defined under the Amended Credit Facilities.

Cash Requirements and Commitments

FET has certain obligations and commitments to make future payments under contracts. For an in-depth discussion of FET’s cash requirements and commitments, see “Capital Resources and Liquidity - Cash Requirements and Commitments" in Item 7., "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" within FET’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (filed on February 24, 2026).

Changes in Cash Position

As of March 31, 2026, FET had $6 million of cash and cash equivalents as compared to $8 million of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table summarizes the major classes of cash flow items:


	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2026		2025		Change

Net cash provided from operating activities	$	234	$	243	$	(9)
Net cash used for investing activities	(261)		(323)		62

Net change in cash and cash equivalents	(2)		(1)		(1)

Cash and cash equivalents, at beginning of period	8		8		—
Cash and cash equivalents, at end of period	$	6	$	7	$	(1)

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

FET’s most significant sources of cash are derived from providing network transmission service, point-to-point transmission service, and scheduling, controlling and dispatching service over their respective systems. The most significant use of cash from operating activities is transmitting electricity to serve customers, collecting or returning transmission revenue collections from PJM and paying tax authorities, lenders and other FirstEnergy affiliated companies, including FESC, for a wide range of materials and services.

Net cash provided from operating activities was $234 million and $243 million in the first three months of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in cash provided from operating activities in 2026, compared to the same period of 2025, is primarily due to decreased working capital related to the timing of accrued payables, taxes and interest, partially offset by higher revenues from regulated capital investments that increased rate base.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Net cash used for investing activities in the first three months of 2026 principally represented cash used for capital investments. The following table summarizes investing activities for the first three months of 2026 and 2025:


	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
Investing Activities	2026		2025		Change
	(In millions)
Capital investments	$	309	$	287	$	22
Loans with affiliated companies, net	(80)		11		(91)
Asset removal costs	34		24		10
Other	(2)		1		(3)



	$	261	$	323	$	(62)

Net cash used for investing activities for the first three months of 2026 decreased by $62 million, as compared to the same period of 2025, primarily due to higher receipts from loans with affiliated companies, partially offset by increased spend in capital investments.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

In the first three months of 2026 and 2025, net cash provided from financing activities was $25 million and $79 million, respectively. The following table summarizes financing activities for the first three months of 2026 and 2025:

FET and the FET Subsidiaries' exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates is reduced since all long-term debt has fixed interest rates. FET and the FET Subsidiaries are subject to the inherent interest rate risks related to refinancing maturing debt by issuing new debt securities.

Economic Conditions

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that FET would incur a loss as a result of nonperformance by counterparties of their contractual obligations. FET maintains risk policies and procedures with respect to counterparty credit (including requirements that counterparties maintain specified credit ratings) and require other assurances in the form of credit support or collateral in certain circumstances in order to limit counterparty credit risk. FET has concentrations of suppliers and counterparties. These concentrations may impact FET's overall exposure to credit risk, positively or negatively, as counterparties may be similarly affected by changes in economic, regulatory or other conditions.

and its transmission subsidiaries could be affected by the proposed rulemaking. FirstEnergy participated in comments on the supplemental rulemaking that were submitted by a group of PJM transmission owners and by various industry trade groups. If there were to be any changes to the FET Subsidiaries’ transmission incentive ROE, such changes will be applied on a prospective basis; provided however, due to the Sixth Circuit’s ruling in the Transmission ROE Incentive matter described above, ATSI is collecting the ROE incentive adder subject to refund.

Valley Link Formula Transmission Rate

On March 14, 2025, the Valley Link joint venture filed an application at FERC for forward-looking formula transmission rates to provide for cost recovery for the portfolio of selected projects. Among other things, the transmission rate application provides for a hypothetical capital structure of 40% debt and 60% equity, and a base ROE of 10.9% with associated templates and protocols, as well as transmission rate incentives, including the abandonment rate incentive, the CWIP rate incentive, the RTO participation adder incentive, the hypothetical capital structure incentive, and the precommercial regulatory asset incentive. On May 14, 2025, FERC issued an initial order that, among other things, accepted the requested abandonment rate incentive, CWIP rate incentive, RTO participation adder incentive, and precommercial regulatory asset rate incentive, and allowed the formula rate to go into effect on May 13, 2025, as requested, subject to refund, pending further settlement and hearing proceedings. The most recent settlement conference was held on April 27, 2026, and settlement negotiations are ongoing. The hypothetical capital structure

incentive and the other open rate design matters are being addressed in the confidential settlement negotiations.
