ROSEMEAD, Calif., July 27, 2023 — Edison International (NYSE: EIX) today reported second-quarter net income of $354 million, or $0.92 per share, compared to net income of $241 million, or $0.63 per share, in the second quarter of last year. As adjusted, second-quarter core earnings were $388 million, or $1.01 per share, compared to core earnings of $357 million, or $0.94 per share, in the second quarter of last year.
Southern California Edison’s second-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 and higher interest income on balancing account undercollections, partially offset by higher interest expense.
Edison International Parent and Other’s second-quarter core loss per share increased year over year, primarily due to higher interest expense.
“SCE is strategically positioned to make substantial investments in the reliability, resiliency and readiness of the grid,” said Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International. “The utility is also well prepared for the wildfire season and has now replaced nearly 5,000 circuit miles of bare wire with covered conductor. SCE will continue to make substantial investments in wildfire mitigation to address the remaining wildfire risk on the system.”
Pizarro added, “Driven by Edison International’s impressive performance through the first half of the year, we are confident in delivering on our 2023 core EPS guidance. Further, based on the strength of SCE’s investment opportunities, we are targeting 5% to 7% EPS growth for 2025 through 2028, which provides a path toward $7 EPS potential for 2028. Underpinning this is the rate base growth driven by the essential investments to advance California’s clean energy transition.”
