10-QPeriod: Q3 FY2025

EDISON INTERNATIONAL Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2025

Filed October 28, 2025For Securities:EIX

Summary

Edison International (EIX) reported a significant increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, largely driven by Southern California Edison's (SCE) improved performance. SCE's net income available to common stock more than doubled year-over-year, reaching $2.935 billion, primarily due to higher revenue from the 2025 General Rate Case (GRC) final decision and favorable settlements related to past wildfire events, notably the TKM Settlement Agreement. Despite these positive operational results, the company faces ongoing risks related to wildfire liabilities, including the recent Eaton Fire. While new legislation like SB 254 aims to provide a framework for wildfire cost recovery and mitigation, the ultimate financial impact of these events and the regulatory environment remain key considerations for investors.

Frequently Asked Questions

The primary driver was Southern California Edison's (SCE) significantly improved net income, largely due to higher revenues from the 2025 General Rate Case (GRC) final decision and cost recoveries authorized under the TKM Settlement Agreement related to past wildfire events. These factors contributed to a substantial increase in SCE's earnings.

SCE recorded $300 million in losses related to the Eaton Fire in the third quarter of 2025, with additional material losses anticipated due to ongoing litigation. The company believes it is likely its equipment was associated with the ignition and is pursuing settlements. While the company has secured some customer-funded self-insurance and expects FERC rate recovery, the full extent of losses remains uncertain and is subject to estimation complexities and litigation outcomes.

SB 254 expands the Wildfire Insurance Fund by establishing a Continuation Account, potentially providing up to $18 billion in additional funding. It also modifies the liability cap calculation for wildfires. While the legislation aims to provide a framework for cost recovery and mitigation, SCE's contributions to the Continuation Account will not be recoverable through electric rates. The full financial impact and implementation details are still unfolding.

SCE plans significant capital expenditures of approximately $29.3 billion from 2025 to 2028, with a focus on wildfire mitigation and grid modernization. Following the passage of SB 254, credit rating agencies provided mixed signals: Moody's and Fitch reaffirmed their ratings, while S&P downgraded SCE's long-term issuer credit rating. The ratings reflect ongoing concerns about wildfire risk and the successful implementation of regulatory frameworks.
