ROSEMEAD, Calif., Nov. 1, 2023 — Edison International (NYSE: EIX) today reported third-quarter net income of $155 million, or $0.40 per share, compared to net loss of $128 million, or ($0.33) per share, in the third quarter of last year. As adjusted, third-quarter core earnings were $531 million, or $1.38 per share, compared to core earnings of $564 million, or $1.48 per share, in the third quarter of last year.
Southern California Edison’s third-quarter core earnings per share (EPS) decreased year over year, primarily due to higher interest expense and a true-up recorded in the third quarter of last year related to the Customer Service Re-Platform (CSRP) decision. The true-up recognized previously unrecognized return on rate base related to the CSRP project. This reduction was partially offset by higher revenue from the escalation mechanism set forth in the 2021 General Rate Case final decision.
Edison International Parent and Other’s third-quarter core loss per share increased year over year, primarily due to higher interest expense.
“We are pleased with our performance year to date and, combined with the outlook for the fourth quarter, we are confident in reaffirming our 2023 core EPS guidance range,” said Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International. “I also reaffirm our ongoing commitment to delivering 5% to 7% core EPS growth through 2025 and 2028, which does not factor in several potential upsides.”
Pizarro added, “SCE’s industry-leading, multi-layered wildfire mitigation practices differentiate the company as climate change-driven wildfire risk affects utilities across the nation. Against this backdrop, SCE has made tremendous progress since 2018, reducing its risk of losses from catastrophic wildfires by 85%. Additionally, with their deep experience and achievements, my SCE colleagues are sharing mitigation strategies with utilities across the country.”
