Edison International Reports First Quarter 2022 Results
● | First Quarter 2022 GAAP earnings per share of $0.22; Core EPS of $1.07 |
● | Through the end of the first quarter, SCE has deployed over 3,200 miles of covered conductor, nearly double the miles installed at the same time last year |
● | Revises best estimate of expected losses for 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, resulting in net after-tax charge of $281 million; Anticipates cost recovery filing by late 2023 |
● | Affirms 2022 EPS guidance of $4.40–4.70 and long-term EPS growth rate target of 5–7% |
ROSEMEAD, Calif., May 3, 2022 — Edison International (NYSE: EIX) today reported first quarter 2022 net income of $84 million, or $0.22 per share, compared to net income of $259 million, or $0.68 per share, in the first quarter of 2021. As adjusted, first quarter 2022 core earnings were $407 million, or $1.07 per share, compared to core earnings of $301 million, or $0.79 per share, in the first quarter of 2021.
Southern California Edison’s (SCE) first quarter 2022 core earnings per share (EPS) increased year-over-year primarily due to the adoption of the 2021 General Rate Case final decision in the third quarter of 2021, partially offset by interest expense from increased borrowings.
Edison International Parent and Other's first quarter 2022 loss per share increased year-over-year primarily due to higher preferred dividends.
SCE's non-core loss during the quarter was primarily attributable to a charge recorded for 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events claims and expenses, net of expected recoveries from FERC customers. This charge is described further below.
“SCE continues to make solid progress in substantially improving its wildfire risk profile.” said Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International. “The cornerstone of SCE’s grid hardening measures is the wildfire covered conductor program. Over the past year the utility nearly doubled its miles of installed covered conductor. SCE will continue to drive this valuable program forward and by year-end expects 40% of its overhead distribution lines in high fire risk areas will be covered.”
Pizarro added, “We strongly believe Edison International is the best investment vehicle to participate in California’s clean energy transition. SCE’s approach to wildfire mitigation has shown positive results over the last three wildfire seasons and the utility is expeditiously hardening the grid every day, to the benefit of both customers and investors. As an electric-only, wires-focused utility, SCE’s ongoing investment in the grid will enable an electric-led future.”
Edison International uses core earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that adjusts for significant discrete items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings. Edison International management believes that core earnings provide more meaningful comparisons of performance from period to period. Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of core earnings to basic GAAP earnings.

Revision to Best Estimate of Losses for 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events
EIX and SCE revised the estimated losses for the 2017/2018 Wildfire Mudslide Events higher by $416 million as a result of management's first quarter 2022 review, including a review of large damage claims presented by a small number of plaintiffs and new lawsuits filed in the Woolsey Fire litigation. As a result, Edison International and SCE also recorded expected recoveries through FERC electric rates of $26 million against the charge, and the resulting net charge to earnings was $390 million ($281 million after-tax).
Anticipated Timing of Cost Recovery Applications
As previously disclosed, SCE will seek rate recovery at the CPUC of prudently-incurred, actual losses realized in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. Based on EIX's and SCE's current best estimate of expected losses, SCE currently expects to seek CPUC-jurisdictional rate recovery of approximately $5.2 billion by filing multiple future applications with the CPUC. SCE currently anticipates filing the first application for cost recovery by late 2023.

Appendix
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Edison International’s earnings are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States and represent the company’s earnings as reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our management uses core earnings and core earnings per share (EPS) internally for financial planning and for analysis of performance of Edison International and Southern California Edison. We also use core earnings and core EPS when communicating with analysts and investors regarding our earnings results to facilitate comparisons of the Company’s performance from period to period. Financial measures referred to as net income, basic EPS, core earnings, or core EPS also apply to the description of earnings or earnings per share.
Core earnings and core EPS are non-GAAP financial measures and may not be comparable to those of other companies. Core earnings and core EPS are defined as basic earnings and basic EPS excluding income or loss from discontinued operations and income or loss from significant discrete items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings. Basic earnings and losses refer to net income or losses attributable to Edison International shareholders. Core earnings are reconciled to basic earnings in the attached tables. The impact of participating securities (vested awards that earn dividend equivalents that may participate in undistributed earnings with common stock) for the principal operating subsidiary is not material to the principal operating subsidiary’s EPS and is therefore reflected in the results of the Edison International holding company, which is included in Edison International Parent and Other.
Safe Harbor Statement
Statements contained in this presentation about future performance, including, without limitation, operating results, capital expenditures, rate base growth, dividend policy, financial outlook, and other statements that are not purely historical, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations; however, such statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from current expectations. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations only as of the date of this presentation, and Edison International assumes no duty to update them to reflect new information, events or circumstances. Important factors that could cause different results include, but are not limited to the:
• | ability of SCE to recover its costs through regulated rates, including uninsured wildfire-related and debris flow-related costs, costs incurred to mitigate the risk of utility equipment causing future wildfires, costs incurred to implement SCE's new customer service system, costs incurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and increased labor and materials costs due to supply chain constraints and inflation; |
• | ability of SCE to implement its Wildfire Mitigation Plan and capital program; |
• | risks of regulatory or legislative restrictions that would limit SCE's ability to implement Public Safety Power Shutoff (“PSPS”) when conditions warrant or would otherwise limit SCE's operational PSPS practices; |
• | risks associated with implementing PSPS, including regulatory fines and penalties, claims for damages and reputational harm; |
• | ability of SCE to maintain a valid safety certification; |
• | ability to obtain sufficient insurance at a reasonable cost, including insurance relating to SCE's nuclear facilities and wildfire-related claims, and to recover the costs of such insurance or, in the event liabilities exceed insured amounts, the ability to recover uninsured losses from customers or other parties; |
• | extreme weather-related incidents (including events caused, or exacerbated, by climate change, such as wildfires, debris flows, droughts, high wind events and extreme heat events) and other natural disasters (such as earthquakes), which could cause, among other things, public safety issues, property damage, operational issues (such as rotating outages and issues due to damaged infrastructure), PSPS activations and unanticipated costs; |
• | risks that California Assembly Bill 1054 (“AB 1054”) does not effectively mitigate the significant exposure faced by California investor-owned utilities related to liability for damages arising from catastrophic wildfires where utility facilities are alleged to be a substantial cause, including the longevity of the Wildfire Insurance Fund and |

the CPUC's interpretation of and actions under AB 1054, including its interpretation of the prudency standard established under AB 1054; |
• | ability of Edison International and SCE to effectively attract, manage, develop and retain a skilled workforce, including its contract workers; |
• | decisions and other actions by the California Public Utilities Commission, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and other governmental authorities, including decisions and actions related to nationwide or statewide crisis, determinations of authorized rates of return or return on equity, the recoverability of wildfire-related and debris flow-related costs, issuance of SCE's wildfire safety certification, wildfire mitigation efforts, approval and implementation of electrification programs, and delays in executive, regulatory and legislative actions; |
• | cost and availability of labor, equipment and materials, including as a result of supply chain constraints; |
• | ability of Edison International or SCE to borrow funds and access bank and capital markets on reasonable terms; |
• | risks associated with the decommissioning of San Onofre, including those related to worker and public safety, public opposition, permitting, governmental approvals, on-site storage of spent nuclear fuel, delays, contractual disputes, and cost overruns; |
• | pandemics, such as COVID-19, and other events that cause regional, statewide, national or global disruption, which could impact, among other things, Edison International's and SCE's business, operations, cash flows, liquidity and/or financial results and cause Edison International and SCE to incur unanticipated costs; |
• | physical security of Edison International's and SCE's critical assets and personnel and the cybersecurity of Edison International's and SCE's critical information technology systems for grid control, and business, employee and customer data; |
• | risks associated with cost allocation resulting in higher rates for utility bundled service customers because of possible customer bypass or departure for other electricity providers such as Community Choice Aggregators (“CCA,” which are cities, counties, and certain other public agencies with the authority to generate and/or purchase electricity for their local residents and businesses) and Electric Service Providers (entities that offer electric power and ancillary services to retail customers, other than electrical corporations (like SCE) and CCAs); |
• | risks inherent in SCE's capital investment program, including those related to project site identification, public opposition, environmental mitigation, construction, permitting, changes in the California Independent System Operator’s transmission plans, and governmental approvals; and |
• | risks associated with the operation of electrical facilities, including worker and public safety issues, the risk of utility assets causing or contributing to wildfires, failure, availability, efficiency, and output of equipment and facilities, and availability and cost of spare parts. |
Additional information about risks and uncertainties, including more detail about the factors described in this report, is contained throughout this report and in the 2021 Form 10-K, including the "Risk Factors" section. Readers are urged to read this entire report, including information incorporated by reference, as well as the 2021 Form 10-K, and carefully consider the risks, uncertainties, and other factors that affect Edison International's and SCE's businesses.

Prepared Remarks of Edison International CEO and CFO
First Quarter 2022 Earnings Teleconference
May 3, 2022, 1:30 p.m. (PT)
Pedro Pizarro, President and Chief Executive Officer, Edison International
Edison International reported core earnings per share of $1.07 compared to $0.79 a year ago. We are reiterating our 2022 core EPS guidance range of $4.40 to $4.70 and our longer-term EPS growth target of 5 to 7% through 2025, resulting in core EPS of $5.50 to $5.90. Maria will discuss our financial performance in her remarks.
Over the last year, I have been updating you on SCE’s substantial reduction of wildfire risk. Relative to pre-2018 levels, SCE estimates it has reduced the probability of losses from catastrophic wildfire by 65 to 70%, and continued investments will further reduce this risk.
When we look across all 17,000 circuit miles of distribution lines in SCE’s high fire risk area, the utility’s grid hardening measures are focused on the roughly 10,000 miles that are above ground, with the other 7,000 already being underground. The cornerstone of SCE’s grid hardening measures is the wildfire covered conductor program. A key benefit is how quickly it reduces wildfire risk. Through the end of the first quarter, SCE has over 3,200 miles of covered conductor. This is nearly double what was covered at the same time last year. SCE continues to drive this program forward and expects to have covered 40% of its overhead distribution lines, or 4,000 of its 10,000 miles in its high fire risk areas, by year-end.
The utility continues to adapt and update its Wildfire Mitigation Plan to build on successes and learnings from the field. Most importantly, SCE’s WMP is immediately actionable, and the execution results in real risk reduction today and each day that SCE hardens its grid. In addition, SCE is preparing for this wildfire season by prioritizing its inspections and vegetation management programs. SCE focuses its annual inspections on equipment that makes up 97% of total wildfire risk in 2022 and plans to accelerate completion of the vast majority of these inspections before September 1st.
Today, 166 cameras provide visibility to about 90% of high fire risk areas, and planned installations in 2022 and beyond will increase coverage to nearly all of the utility’s HFRA to enhance early fire detection. SCE is increasing installed weather stations by over 10% and using machine learning to further advance forecasting and target PSPS events more precisely. Taken together, all of these efforts give SCE confidence in its ability to mitigate wildfires associated with its equipment.
Turning to wildfire-related settlements, SCE made substantial progress resolving 2017 and 2018 Wildfire and Mudslide Events claims. In the first quarter, SCE resolved over $700 million of claims. Driven by this progress and given SCE’s current assessment of claims, the utility revised the best estimate of total losses higher by $416 million to a total of $7.9 billion. I would like to share the two factors that contributed to this revision. First, during the quarter there were a handful of exceptionally large claims that were settled based on new information that became available during settlement negotiations. Second, as the statute of limitations for the Woolsey fire approaches, SCE saw a higher-than-expected increase in the number of plaintiffs making claims. SCE reviewed its estimate and determined it was appropriate to revise the best estimate, which includes new provisions for future potential exceptionally large claims. In total, the utility has resolved over 80% of its best estimate of expected losses and continues to make steady progress in resolving claims.
I would like to be clear that SCE currently expects to seek full CPUC cost recovery of claims payments, excluding amounts recoverable from insurance or FERC, or foregone under the agreement with the Safety Enforcement Division. A related question we’ve heard from the investment community is, “when does SCE expect to make that filing?” Based on the current pace of settlements, SCE anticipates filing its first application for cost recovery by late 2023. I strongly believe SCE operated its system prudently and will make a solid case in its filing. The considerations SCE will take into account in deciding the timing of its filings are described on page 4.
2
Another action I want to highlight is SCE’s recent legal challenge to inverse condemnation in the Thomas and Koenigstein fire litigation. We have mentioned in past discussions that SCE will always seek opportunities to challenge the doctrine of inverse condemnation. To that end, in April, the utility filed a notice of appeal with the California Court of Appeals challenging inverse condemnation. Cases like this generally take one to two years to reach a conclusion, and we will keep you apprised of any meaningful developments.
On the regulatory front, SCE recently filed its application for the 2023 CPUC cost of capital, requesting a return on equity of 10.53% while maintaining its authorized equity layer at 52%. As we have outlined since publishing the Pathway 2045 vision, economywide electrification is necessary to meet California’s policy goals. SCE will be a key enabler of the clean energy transition and will invest significant amounts of capital in its infrastructure. We believe that SCE’s requested ROE will support attracting this capital necessary to meet its obligations to provide safe, reliable, and resilient service and enable the state’s climate change adaptation and decarbonization goals. Separately, SCE is awaiting resolution of whether the cost of capital mechanism will operate for 2022. We have summarized SCE’s outstanding cost of capital applications on page 5.
Let me conclude by saying that we strongly believe Edison International is the best investment vehicle to participate in California’s clean energy transition. SCE’s approach to wildfire mitigation has shown positive results over the last three wildfire seasons and the utility is expeditiously hardening the grid every day, to the benefit of both customers and investors. As an electric-only, wires-focused utility, SCE’s ongoing investment in the grid will enable an electric-led future by integrating clean resources while enhancing resilience and broader climate adaptation. Economywide electrification is the most affordable path to achieving California’s climate goals.
Maria Rigatti, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Edison International
My comments today will cover first quarter 2022 results, our capital expenditure and rate base forecasts, SCE’s cost of capital applications, and 2022 EPS guidance.
3
Edison International reported core earnings of $1.07 per share for the first quarter, an increase of 28 cents per share from the same period last year. Core EPS increased year-over-year primarily due the adoption of the 2021 GRC final decision in the third quarter of 2021, partially offset by interest expense from increased borrowings.
On page 6, you can see SCE’s key first quarter EPS drivers on the right-hand side. I will highlight a few. Authorized revenue from the 2021 GRC was higher by 35 cents for two reasons. First, the escalation mechanism for 2022 contributed 18 cents to the variance. Second, because SCE did not have a GRC final decision in the first quarter of last year, it was recording revenue at 2020 levels. This timing difference contributed 17 cents to year-over-year Q1 revenue growth.
Other CPUC revenue was 51 cents higher, primarily related to the approval of GRC track 2. With this approval, SCE recognized revenue for costs previously deferred to memo accounts. Note that this revenue increase was fully offset, primarily by the recognition of 46 cents of O&M resulting from the track 2 decision.
At EIX Parent and Other, the core loss was 6 cents higher in the first quarter. This was primarily due to dividends on the preferred equity issued last year.
Now let’s move to SCE’s capital expenditure and rate base forecasts. Page 7 shows SCE’s updated capital forecast to reflect its upcoming GRC track 4 application, which will be filed on May 13. Track 4 covers funding for 2024, which is the third attrition year of SCE’s 2021 GRC. In addition to requesting a revenue increase driven by the GRC attrition mechanism and inflation, SCE will propose continued deployment of covered conductor beyond the over 5,000 miles expected to be installed by the end of 2023. I would like to reiterate Pedro’s earlier comment on SCE’s wildfire mitigation plan—it is immediately actionable and the execution of the work results in real risk reduction today and each day that SCE hardens its grid.
As shown on page 8, our capital forecast continues to result in projected rate base growth of 7 to 9% from 2021 to 2025. The forecast reflects SCE’s current view of the requests to be made in GRC track 4, the 2025 GRC, and other applications. We continue to see strong
4
potential for SCE to continue deploying capital and achieving 7 to 9% rate base growth through 2025.
Turning to guidance, pages 9 and 10 show our 2022 guidance and the key assumptions for modeling purposes. We are affirming our 2022 core EPS guidance range of $4.40 to $4.70. SCE is recording revenue based on its currently authorized cost of capital and will reflect the final decision in the 2022 cost of capital proceeding in the quarter it is received. As Pedro mentioned, we are awaiting resolution of whether the cost of capital mechanism will operate for 2022. After receiving a final decision from the CPUC, we will provide an update on guidance to incorporate any changes in the ROE and our outlook for the rest of the year.
Also embedded in our guidance is EIX’s 2022 financing plan, which we disclosed last quarter and remains unchanged. The revision to the best estimate of total expected losses does not change our plan. Also, I’ll remind you that the claims payments themselves are funded with debt issued by SCE.
I’d like to provide some additional insight into two of SCE’s recent applications to the CPUC. First, SCE filed a request to extend its CPUC capital structure waiver with respect to the 2017 and 2018 Wildfire and Mudslide Events. You may recall that the CPUC previously approved a waiver through the earlier of May 2022 or resolution of the 2017 and 2018 events. The waiver allows SCE to exclude certain charges and debt when calculating compliance with its 52% authorized CPUC equity ratio. SCE has requested an extension of the waiver period until the CPUC resolves the last of SCE’s cost recovery applications for the 2017 and 2018 events. The current waiver remains in place until the CPUC rules on the recently filed application. This provides SCE with the flexibility to finance itself in a way that is efficient for customers and shareholders. Second, in SCE’s 2023 cost of capital application, it requested an ROE of 10.53%, consistent with its recently filed off-cycle application. This ROE is at the upper end of the reasonable range estimated by SCE’s expert witness. We believe SCE made strong arguments justifying its request and remind you that in SCE’s last cost of capital decision the CPUC
5
concluded SCE’s ROE should be at the upper end of the range. Under SCE’s proposed schedule, the proceeding would conclude with a final decision by the end of the year.
Turning to page 11, I want to reiterate our growth opportunities that drive strong core earnings growth from 2021 through 2025, and highlight EIX’s potential to achieve double-digit total shareholder return during that period. A key component of our total return proposition is our common dividend, which currently yields approximately 4%. I’m proud of our track record of 18 consecutive years of dividend growth and look forward to building on that history. Our EPS growth of 5 to 7% is driven by SCE’s significant capital expenditure opportunities including investments in the safety and reliability of the grid. Sustainable rate base growth results from the investments necessary to reduce wildfire risk and investments to support infrastructure replacement and load growth. Affordability is also a key consideration, and I would like to emphasize that SCE has the lowest system average rate among California’s large IOUs. This is in large part driven by our strong culture of excellent cost management that has been a cornerstone of the utility for more than a decade.

These forward - looking stateme nts represent our expectations only as of the date of this presentation, and Edison International assumes no duty to update them to reflect new information, events or circumstances. Im por tant factors that could cause different results include, but are not limited to the: • ability of SCE to recover its costs through regulated rates, including uninsured wildfire - related and debris flow - related costs, costs incurred to mitigate the risk of utility equipment causing future wildfires, costs incurred to implement SCE's new customer service system, costs incurred as a result of the CO VID - 19 pandemic, and increased labor and materials costs due to supply chain constraints and inflation; • ability of SCE to implement its Wildfire Mitigation Plan and capital program; • risks of regulatory or legislative restrictions that would limit SCE’s ability to implement Public Safety Power Shutoff (“PSP S”) when conditions warrant or would otherwise limit SCE’s operational PSPS practices; • risks associated with implementing PSPS, including regulatory fines and penalties, claims for damages and reputational harm; • ability of SCE to maintain a valid safety certification; • ability to obtain sufficient insurance at a reasonable cost, including insurance relating to SCE's nuclear facilities and wil dfi re - related claims, and to recover the costs of such insurance or, in the event liabilities exceed insured amounts, the ability to recover uninsured losses from customers or other parties; • extreme weather - related incidents (including events caused, or exacerbated, by climate change, such as wildfires, debris flows, droughts, high wind events and extreme heat events) and other natural disasters (such as earthquakes), which could cause, among other things, public safety issues, property damage, ope rational issues (such as rotating outages and issues due to damaged infrastructure), PSPS activations and unanticipated costs; • risk that California Assembly Bill 1054 (“AB 1054”) does not effectively mitigate the significant exposure faced by Californi a i nvestor - owned utilities related to liability for damages arising from catastrophic wildfires where utility facilities are alleged to be a substantial cause, including the longevity o f t he Wildfire Insurance Fund and the CPUC's interpretation of and actions under AB 1054, including its interpretation of the prudency standard established under AB 1054; • ability of Edison International and SCE to effectively attract, manage, develop and retain a skilled workforce, including its co ntract workers; • decisions and other actions by the California Public Utilities Commission, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Nucl ear Regulatory Commission and other governmental authorities, including decisions and actions related to nationwide or statewide crisis, determinations of authorized rates of re turn or return on equity, the recoverability of wildfire - related and debris flow - related costs, issuance of SCE's wildfire safety certification, wildfire mitigation efforts, approval an d implementation of electrification programs, and delays in executive, regulatory and legislative actions; • cost and availability of labor, equipment and materials, including as a result of supply chain constraints; • ability of Edison International or SCE to borrow funds and access bank and capital markets on reasonable terms; • risks associated with the decommissioning of San Onofre, including those related to worker and public safety, public oppositi on, permitting, governmental approvals, on - site storage of spent nuclear fuel, delays, contractual disputes, and cost overruns; • pandemics, such as COVID - 19, and other events that cause regional, statewide, national or global disruption, which could impact, among other things, Edison International's and SCE's business, operations, cash flows, liquidity and/or financial results and cause Edison International and SCE to incur unantici pat ed costs; • physical security of Edison International's and SCE's critical assets and personnel and the cybersecurity of Edison Internati ona l's and SCE's critical information technology systems for grid control, and business, employee and customer data; • risks associated with cost allocation resulting in higher rates for utility bundled service customers because of possible cus tom er bypass or departure for other electricity providers such as Community Choice Aggregators (“CCA,” which are cities, counties, and certain other public agencies with the authority to g ene rate and/or purchase electricity for their local residents and businesses) and Electric Service Providers (entities that offer electric power and ancillary services to retail customers , o ther than electrical corporations (like SCE) and CCAs); • risks inherent in SCE’s capital investment program, including those related to project site identification, public opposition , e nvironmental mitigation, construction, permitting, changes in the California Independent System Operator’s transmission plans, and governmental approvals; and • risks associated with the operation of electrical facilities, including worker and public safety issues, the risk of utility ass ets causing or contributing to wildfires, failure, availability, efficiency, and output of equipment and facilities, and availability and cost of spare parts. Other important factors are discussed under the headings “Forward - Looking Statements”, “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussi on and Analysis” in Edison International’s Form 10 - K and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available on our website: www.edisoninvestor.c om.

19 Edison International's earnings are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States. Management uses core earnings (losses) internally for financial planning and for analysis of performance. Core earnings (losses) are also used when communicating with investors and analysts regarding Edison International's earnings results to facilitate comparisons of the company's performance from period to period. Core earnings (losses) are a non - GAAP financial measure and may not be comparable to those of other companies. Core earnings (losses) are defined as earnings attributable to Edison International shareholders less non - core items. Non - core items include income or loss from discontinued operations and income or loss from significant discrete items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings, such as write downs, asset impairments and other income and expense related to changes in law, outcomes in tax, regulatory or legal proceedings, and exit activities, including sale of certain assets and other activities that are no longer continuing. A reconciliation of Non - GAAP information to GAAP information is included either on the slide where the information appears or on another slide referenced in this presentation.
