ROSEMEAD, Calif., May 2, 2023 — Edison International (NYSE: EIX) today reported first-quarter net income of $310 million, or $0.81 per share, compared to net income of $84 million, or $0.22 per share, in the first quarter of 2022. As adjusted, first-quarter core earnings were $416 million, or $1.09 per share, compared to core earnings of $407 million, or $1.07 per share, in the first quarter of 2022.
Southern California Edison’s first-quarter core earnings per share (EPS) increased year over year, primarily due to revenue from the escalation mechanism set forth in the 2021 General Rate Case final decision, partially offset by higher net interest expense.
Edison International Parent and Other’s first-quarter core loss per share increased year over year, primarily due to higher interest expense.
“We are pleased with our start to the year and are confident in affirming our 2023 core EPS guidance range,” said Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International. “We continue to see a number of positives for the company in the near term and long term, which make us excited for the company’s future.”
Pizarro added, “In the near term, SCE continues its diligent execution of its Wildfire Mitigation Plan and has reduced the probability of losses from catastrophic wildfires by 75% to 80% compared to pre-2018 levels, predominantly from grid hardening measures that allow the utility to mitigate risk while keeping electricity flowing to customers. In the long term, transportation electrification is a key driver of SCE’s investment in the grid and for enabling customer affordability. We are already seeing customers start to embrace and adopt electric vehicles today — including operators of medium- and heavy-duty vehicle fleets.”
