ROSEMEAD, Calif., Feb. 23, 2023 — Edison International (NYSE: EIX) today reported fourth quarter 2022 net income of $415 million, or $1.09 per share, compared to net income of $523 million, or $1.38 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2021. As adjusted, fourth quarter 2022 core earnings were $437 million, or $1.15 per share, compared to core earnings of $440 million, or $1.16 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Southern California Edison’s fourth quarter 2022 core earnings per share (EPS) increased year over year, primarily due to higher California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)-related revenue due to the escalation mechanism as set forth in the 2021 General Rate Case (GRC) final decision, partially offset by higher depreciation expense from increased plant balance and higher net interest expense related to higher rates.

Edison International Parent and Other’s fourth quarter 2022 core loss per share increased year over year, primarily due to higher interest expense and higher corporate expense.

“Edison International posted strong results for 2022, with core EPS in the upper end of our initial guidance range,” said Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International. “SCE continued its tremendous progress in making its communities safer by reducing wildfire risk. SCE’s approach is differentiated by the speed of its infrastructure hardening, and the utility recently completed its 4,400th mile of covered conductor.”

Pizarro added, “The support for economywide electrification continues to grow nationally and here in California. Rapid electrification expansion sharpens the continued need to make significant grid investments that support California’s leading role in building a carbon-free economy.”

Full-Year Earnings

For 2022, Edison International reported net income of $612 million, or $1.61 per share, compared to $759 million, or $2.00 per share, for 2021. As adjusted, Edison International’s core earnings were $1,765 million, or $4.63 per share, compared to $1,741 million, or $4.59 per share, in 2021.

SCE’s full-year core EPS was higher, primarily due to higher CPUC-related revenue due to the escalation mechanism as set forth in the 2021 GRC final decision along with return on rate base approved in applications related to wildfire mitigation capital expenditures and the Customer Service Re-Platform project. These were partially offset by higher operating and maintenance expenses, higher depreciation expense from increased plant balance and higher interest expense.

Edison International Parent and Other’s full-year loss per share increased primarily due to higher preferred dividends.
