The significant jump in **Cash and cash equivalents** in Q1 2024 was primarily driven by a monumental inflow from **financing activities**. In Q1 2024, FirstEnergy generated **$1,646 million** from financing activities, including a major **$3.5 billion FET LLC transaction** (with **$2.3 billion** deployed immediately), which far outweighed the cash used for operating and investing activities. Additionally, the company experienced a reduction in cash used for operating activities—from **$112 million** down to **$40 million**—which further contributed to the overall increase.  **[0001031296-24-000026_fe-20240331.htm:85]** **[20240425CL97922:0]** **[0001031296-24-000024_ex991-q12024pressrelease.htm:0]** 

What drove the significant jump in Cash and cash equivalents in Q1 2024?

The sharp decline in **short-term borrowings** in Q3 2024 is primarily attributed to FirstEnergy's strategic actions. **Borrowings dropped from $775 million to $75 million** as the company reduced its reliance on short-term funding. This reduction was largely supported by the receipt of **$3.5 billion from the FET Equity Interest Sale**, which provided the necessary liquidity. Furthermore, the company issued **$1.4 billion in long-term debt** and redeemed several long-term debt instruments, further facilitating the repayment of short-term liabilities and optimizing its overall capital structure.  **[0001031296-24-000055_fe-20240930.htm:104]** **[0001031296-24-000055_fe-20240930.htm:108]** **[0001031296-24-000055_fe-20240930.htm:31]** 

Why did Short-term borrowings drop sharply in Q3 2024?

The nearly double level of **currently payable long-term debt** in Q1 2024 was primarily driven by the inclusion of **$463 million** from FE's 7.375% Notes, which were redeemed on April 15, 2024, and reclassified as currently payable debt. Additionally, the redemptions of **JCP&L's $500 million** 4.70% unsecured notes and **MP's $400 million** 4.10% FMBs in early April 2024 further contributed to the increase.  **[0001031296-24-000026_fe-20240331.htm:10]** **[0001031296-24-000026_fe-20240331.htm:86]** **[0001031296-24-000026_fe-20240331.htm:26]** 

What caused the nearly double level of currently payable long-term debt in Q1 2024?

The noticeable **reduction in long-term debt** in Q1 2024 was primarily due to extensive **debt redemptions** and the strategic use of proceeds from the **FET equity interest sale**. Specifically, FE redeemed a significant amount of debt—such as **$463 million** of its 7.375% Notes due 2031 (which also involved a make-whole premium of about **$80 million**)—and similar redemptions were executed by JCP&L and MP for their respective note issuances. Additionally, FE received **$2.3 billion** from the FET equity interest sale, using part of that amount (**$1.4 billion** overall, including **$460 million** at FE Corp) to retire short-term and long-term borrowings. These combined measures led to the reduction in the carrying value of long-term debt in Q1 2024.  **[0001031296-24-000026_fe-20240331.htm:26]** **[0001031296-24-000026_fe-20240331.htm:86]** **[FE_3381213_5]** 

Why was there a noticeable reduction in long-term debt in Q1 2024?
