Based on the early findings of the California Public Utilities Commission , the company said it is including a $10.5 billion pre-tax charge related to third-party claims in connection with the 2018 Camp Fire in its full-year and fourth-quarter 2018 financial results. The company said Thursday its full-year net losses were $6.9 billion, or $13.25 per share, compared to net income of $1.6 billion, or $3.21 per share in 2017. For the fourth quarter of 2018, the company said net losses were $6.9 billion, or $13.24 per share, compared to net income of $114 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.
"The company is facing extraordinary challenges relating to the 2018 Camp Fire and 2017 Northern California wildfires," the company said in a release."Management has concluded that these circumstances raise substantial doubt about PG&E Corporation's and the Utility's ability to continue as going concerns."Shares were little changed before the bell Thursday.
