Non-GAAP Financial Matters This presentation contains references to non-GAAP financial measures including, among others, Operating earnings (loss), Operating earnings (loss) per share and Operating earnings (loss) per share by segment. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Operating earnings (loss), Operating earnings (loss) per share and Operating earnings (loss) per share by segment are not calculated in accordance with GAAP to the extent they exclude the impact of “special items.” Special items represent charges incurred or benefits realized that management believes are not indicative of, or may obscure trends useful in evaluating the company’s ongoing core activities and results of operations or otherwise warrant separate classification. Special items also reflect the adjustment to include the full impact of share dilution from the $2.5 billion equity issuance in January 2018. Special items are not necessarily non-recurring. FirstEnergy Corp. (FE or the Company) management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis the impact of these items in the context of Operating earnings (loss) per share growth projections because these items, which could be significant, are difficult to predict and may be highly variable. Consequently, the Company is unable to reconcile Operating earnings (loss) per share growth projections (i.e. CAGR) to a GAAP measure without unreasonable effort. Operating earnings (loss) per share and Operating earnings (loss) per share for each segment is calculated by dividing Operating earnings (loss), which excludes special items as discussed above, for the periods presented in 2018 by 538 million shares, 539 million shares in the year-to-date 2019 period, 540 million shares in the third quarter 2019 and full year 2019, and 542 million shares in 2020, which reflects the full impact of share dilution from the equity issuance in January 2018. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures such as Operating earnings (loss) and Operating earnings (loss) per share to evaluate the company’s performance and manage its operations and frequently references these non-GAAP financial measures in its decision-making, using them to facilitate historical and ongoing performance comparisons. Additionally, management uses Operating earnings (loss) per share by segment to further evaluate the company’s performance by segment and references this non-GAAP financial measure in its decision-making. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures of Operating earnings (loss), Operating earnings (loss) per share and Operating earnings (loss) per share by segment provide consistent and comparable measures of performance of its businesses on an ongoing basis. Management also believes that such measures are useful to shareholders and other interested parties to understand performance trends and evaluate the company against its peer group by presenting period-over-period operating results without the effect of certain charges or benefits that may not be consistent or comparable across periods or across the Company’s peer group. All of these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to complement, and are not considered as alternatives to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Also, the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, FirstEnergy has provided, where possible without unreasonable effort, quantitative reconciliations within this presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. 2 November 4, 2019

Earnings Drivers: 3Q 2019 vs. 3Q 2018 Regulated Distribution (RD) ▪ Distribution Deliveries: Total distribution deliveries decreased earnings $0.02 per share primarily due to weather-related usage, partially offset by incremental rider revenues in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Q-o-Q Weather-Adjusted Distribution Deliveries Q-o-Q Actual Distribution Deliveries 0.1% (2.2)% (1.0)% (2.2)% (1.0)% (1.1)% (3.8)% (2.9)% Residential Commercial Industrial Total Residential Commercial Industrial Total ▪ Absence of Ohio DMR: Absence of earnings contribution from the Ohio Distribution Modernization Rider (DMR), which ended on July 2, 2019, decreased earnings $0.06 per share. ▪ Net Operating and Miscellaneous Expenses: Higher O&M and miscellaneous expenses decreased earnings $0.03 per share. ▪ Depreciation: Higher depreciation expense decreased earnings $0.01 per share, primarily due to a higher asset base. ▪ Net Financing Costs: Lower net financing costs increased earnings $0.01 per share, due to lower interest expense as a result of various debt maturities and refinancings at lower rates and higher capitalized financing costs. ▪ Effective Tax Rate: Lower segment effective tax rate increased earnings $0.02 per share. ▪ Special Items: In the third quarter of 2019 and 2018, special items totaled $0.00 per share and ($0.05) per share, respectively. Regulated Transmission (RT) ▪ Transmission Margin: Higher transmission margin increased earnings $0.02 per share, primarily due to higher rate base at Mid-Atlantic Interstate Transmission, LLC (MAIT) and American Transmission Systems, Incorporated (ATSI). ▪ Net Financing Costs: Higher long-term debt decreased earnings $0.01 per share. ▪ Effective Tax Rate: Lower segment effective tax rate increased earnings $0.01 per share. ▪ Special Items: In the third quarter of 2019 and 2018, special items were $0.00 per share and ($0.01) per share, respectively. Corporate / Other (Corp) ▪ Net Operating and Miscellaneous Expenses: Lower expenses increased results $0.03 per share. ▪ Special Items: In the third quarter of 2019 and 2018, special items totaled $0.03 per share and $1.88 per share, respectively. 13 November 4, 2019

Special Items Descriptions ▪ Regulatory charges: Primarily reflects the impact of regulatory agreements or orders requiring certain commitments and/or disallowing the recoverability of costs, net of related credits. ▪ Tax reform: Primarily reflects charges and credits resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. ▪ Debt redemption costs: Primarily reflects costs associated with the redemption and early retirement of debt. ▪ Exit of competitive generation: Primarily reflects charges or credits resulting from the exit of competitive operations and impairments of certain non-core assets, including the impact of deconsolidating FES, its subsidiaries and FENOC, following their voluntary petitions for bankruptcy protection on March 31, 2018. ▪ Mark-to-market adjustments - Pension/OPEB actuarial assumptions: Reflects the change in fair value of plan assets and net actuarial gains and losses associated with the company's pension and other postemployment benefit plans. ▪ Impact of full dilution: Represents the dilutive impact of increasing weighted average shares outstanding to reflect the full impact of share dilution from the $2.5 billion equity issuance in January 2018, including preferred dividends and conversion of preferred stock to common shares. ▪ In the Corp segment, this includes the addback of preferred share dividends and undistributed earnings to preferred shareholders of $7 million and $61 million in the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively, and non-cash deemed dividends for the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature of $296 million in the first nine months of 2018. These amounts are considered a deduction to arrive at Net Income attributable to Common Stockholders under GAAP, and are added back to the calculation of Operating (Non- GAAP) earnings given the assumption that all preferred stock is converted. Note: Special items represent charges incurred or benefits realized, including share dilution, that management believes are not indicative of, or may obscure trends useful in evaluating the company’s ongoing core activities and results of operations or otherwise warrant separate classification.

Dividends declared from time to time on FirstEnergy’s common stock during any period may in the aggregate vary from prior periods due to circumstances considered by FirstEnergy’s Board of Directors at the time of the actual declarations. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy or hold securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. These forward-looking statements are also qualified by, and should be read together with, the risk factors included in FirstEnergy’s filings with the SEC, including but not limited to the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. The foregoing review of factors also should not be construed as exhaustive. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor assess the impact of any such factor on FirstEnergy’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. FirstEnergy expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise, except as required by law, any forward-looking statements contained herein as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. 22 November 4, 2019
