ROSEMEAD, Calif., April 30, 2024 — Edison International (NYSE: EIX) today reported a first-quarter net loss of $11 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to net income of $310 million, or $0.81 per share, in the first quarter of last year. As adjusted, first-quarter core earnings were $438 million, or $1.13 per share, compared to core earnings of $416 million, or $1.09 per share, in the first quarter of last year.
Southern California Edison’s first-quarter 2024 core earnings per share (EPS) increased year over year, primarily due to higher revenue authorized in Track 4 of SCE’s 2021 General Rate Case and an increase in the authorized rate of return resulting from the cost of capital adjustment mechanism. This was partially offset by higher interest expense.
Edison International Parent and Other’s first-quarter 2024 core loss per share was in line with the same period in the prior year.
“We are pleased with our start to the year and are confident in affirming our 2024 core EPS guidance range,” said Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International. “We also remain confident in delivering on our long-term EPS growth targets. Our conviction remains grounded in the drivers that continue to support our outlook.”
As described below, as a result of management's first-quarter review of loss estimates for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, a $490 million increase in estimated losses was recorded. The increase was primarily driven by information obtained during the quarter related to the Woolsey Fire mediation program and from settling claims through the quarter.
Pizarro noted, “With wildfires now a national issue, litigation outcomes outside of California are impacting the costs to resolve claims everywhere. SCE intends to seek full recovery of all eligible costs and we remain confident about the case SCE has made in TKM and will make for Woolsey. I reiterate that we strongly believe that cost recovery is warranted and in the public interest, and we conservatively have not reflected this significant potential in our financial projections.”
