Summary
Edison International's first quarter 2016 results show a slight decrease in net income attributable to common shareholders compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by lower earnings from its regulated utility, Southern California Edison (SCE). SCE's net income decreased by $18 million due to factors including the timing of revenue recognition related to its 2015 General Rate Case (GRC) decision, higher operation and maintenance costs, and reduced incremental income tax benefits. The company's competitive businesses, consolidated under Edison International Parent and Other, reported increased core losses. Despite the slight dip in earnings, Edison International maintains a strong liquidity position, with significant availability under its revolving credit facilities for both the parent company and SCE. Capital expenditures for the quarter were $729 million, with SCE projecting approximately $4 billion for the full year 2016. The company is actively managing regulatory matters, including the extended cost of capital application deadline and ongoing proceedings related to San Onofre and energy efficiency incentives.
