01—Abstract

Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed October 8, 2024. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

This 8-K filing reports a significant development for Edison International (EIX) and its subsidiary, Southern California Edison Company (SCE).

SCE has filed an application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to recover approximately $5.4 billiona in prudently incurred losses stemming from the Woolsey Fire. This amount includes $4.4 billion in uninsured claims paid as of August 31, 2024, and an additional $1.0 billion for associated costs, such as legal and financing expenses, with an estimated $84 million for restoration costs also requested. The filing indicates that SCE is seeking approval for rate recovery, meaning these costs would ultimately be passed on to customers through their utility bills.

SCE anticipates a proposed decision from the CPUC on this application by February 2026. Investors should closely monitor the CPUC's proceedings as the outcome will have a material impact on SCE's financial performance and regulatory asset base.
