ROSEMEAD, Calif., July 25, 2024 — Edison International (NYSE: EIX) today reported second-quarter net income of $439 million, or $1.14 per share, compared to net income of $354 million, or $0.92 per share, in the second quarter of last year. As adjusted, second-quarter core earnings were $475 million, or $1.23 per share, compared to core earnings of $388 million, or $1.01 per share, in the second quarter of last year.
Southern California Edison’s second-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, an increase in the authorized rate of return resulting from the cost of capital adjustment mechanism, and recognition of previously unrecognized return on rate base related to wildfire restoration efforts. This was partially offset by higher interest expense.
Edison International Parent and Other’s second-quarter 2024 core loss per share was in line with the same period in the prior year.
"With a strong start to the first half of the year, we are confident in reaffirming our 2024 core EPS guidance of $4.75 to $5.05,” said Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International. “Based on the progress in SCE’s 2025 General Rate Case, including many partial settlements, we are also confident in getting a strong outcome for customers. The funding authorized in the GRC to continue making investments in SCE’s grid is the linchpin for achieving our 2025 EPS guidance and delivering a 5% to 7% EPS CAGR through 2028.”
Pizarro added, “SCE’s latest 10-year load growth forecast calls for 35% higher load growth, far exceeding all prior internal and external forecasts. To prepare for this growth, SCE will need to significantly expand the electric system to ensure a reliable, resilient and ready grid. These substantial investments will provide us with opportunities for continued rate base growth.”
