2025. 麻花视频 has requested a 2026 Projected Factor revenue requirement of $2,525,798 for the upcoming 2026
SAVE Year (October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026) based on the Company鈥檚 projected SAVE spending
during the 2026 SAVE Year of $10.33 million. Additionally, the Company requests approval of a True-Up Factor
to recover an under-recovery balance of $115,230 during the first year of its current SAVE plan, which covered
the period from October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024. The proposed 2026 SAVE Factor comprises the
True-Up Factor and the 2026 Projected Factor, totaling $2,641,028. As proposed, the 2026 SAVE Factor for
