ROSEMEAD, Calif., November 1, 2022 — Edison International (NYSE: EIX) today reported third quarter 2022 net loss of $128 million, or $0.33 per share, compared to net loss of $341 million, or $0.90 per share, in the third quarter of 2021. As adjusted, third quarter 2022 core earnings were $564 million, or $1.48 per share, compared to core earnings of $644 million, or $1.69 per share, in the third quarter of 2021.
Southern California Edison’s (SCE) third quarter 2022 core earnings per share (EPS) decreased year-over-year, primarily due to a 35-cent true-up recorded in the third quarter of 2021 on implementation of the 2021 General Rate Case (GRC) final decision. This true-up recognized the results of the GRC for the first sixth months of 2021. This reduction was partially offset by recognition of return on rate base related to the Customer Service Re-Platform decision and an increase in CPUC-related revenue due to the escalation mechanism set forth in the 2021 GRC final decision.
Edison International Parent and Other's third quarter 2022 core loss per share was in line with same period in the prior year.
“SCE is making excellent progress in executing its wildfire mitigation plan. The utility is rapidly deploying covered conductor and is on pace to complete 4,300 miles, or 43%, of its overhead miles in high fire risk areas by year-end,” said Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International. “SCE’s diverse portfolio of mitigation activities has substantially decreased the impact of wildfires associated with utility equipment.”
Pizarro added, “We’re pleased to see several recent state and federal clean energy actions in support of electrification, which are consistent with our vision to lead the electric utility industry through the clean energy transition. We are excited about working in partnership with state and federal governments and with other stakeholders, including the communities we serve, to advance policies that rapidly cut GHG emissions.”
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.
