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 2019 by 539 million shares, 541 million shares for the first half of 2020, and 542 million shares in the second quarter and full year 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 July 24, 2020

Earnings Drivers: 2Q 2020 vs. 2Q 2019 Regulated Distribution (RD) ▪ Distribution Revenues: Distribution revenues increased earnings $0.10 per share, due to $0.05 per share from incremental rider revenues in Ohio and Pennsylvania, $0.04 per share benefit from a favorable mix of weather-adjusted sales (higher residential volumes, partially offset by lower commercial and industrial volumes), and $0.01 per share from higher weather-related usage. Q-o-Q Weather-Adjusted Distribution Deliveries Q-o-Q Actual Distribution Deliveries 14.8% 17.1% (3.8)% (3.1)% (14.5)% (11.7)% (14.4)% (11.7)% 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 expenses decreased earnings $0.03 per share. ▪ Depreciation: Higher depreciation expense decreased earnings $0.02 per share, primarily due to a higher asset base. ▪ General Taxes: Higher general taxes decreased earnings $0.02 per share. ▪ Other: Other/Segment Rounding increased earnings $0.01 per share. 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 interest expense decreased earnings $0.01 per share. ▪ 2019 Rate True-Ups: True-ups associated with Actual Transmission Revenue Requirement (ATRR) filings at MAIT and ATSI decreased earnings $0.01 per share. ▪ Other: Other/Segment Rounding decreased earnings $0.01 per share. Corporate / Other (Corp) ▪ Net Operating and Miscellaneous Expenses: Higher expenses decreased results $0.03 per share. ▪ Effective Tax Rate: Discrete income tax benefits increased results $0.02 per share. *Commercial includes Other (Streetlight customers) 12 July 24, 2020

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. ▪ 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 post-employment 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. 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. Special items are not necessarily non-recurring. 13 July 24, 2020
