Company reiterates commitment to long-term EPS growth targets and dividend increase of 5.8% for 2023.

EIX introduces 2024 EPS guidance and declares quarterly dividends for shareholders.
An examination of Edison International's reported earnings reveals a robust financial performance for the fourth quarter and the full year of 2023. A key highlight is the year-over-year increase in core earnings per share (EPS) , which reflects the company's ability to leverage the escalation mechanism from the 2021 General Rate Case. This mechanism is designed to adjust revenues to account for inflation and other cost changes, thereby providing a stable revenue stream. The reported dividend increase of 5.8% aligns with the company's commitment to shareholder returns and mirrors the confidence in its long-term EPS growth targets of 5%-7%.
Investors should note the guidance provided for 2024 with a projected EPS range of $4.75 to $5.05. This forward-looking statement is significant as it offers a glimpse into the company's expectations regarding its future performance and may influence investor sentiment. The absence of non-core items from the 2024 guidance suggests a focus on the company's core operations and the potential for a more predictable earnings stream. From a financial planning perspective, the consistent core EPS growth and clear guidance can be seen as indicators of financial stability and operational efficiency.
The report indicates that Southern California Edison (SCE), a subsidiary of Edison International, has exceeded its Wildfire Mitigation Plan (WMP) covered conductor deployment target. The installation of more than 5,580 circuit miles of covered conductor is a significant development within the energy sector, as it directly addresses the risk of wildfires caused by utility infrastructure. This proactive approach to enhancing grid resilience not only mitigates the potential for costly fire-related damages but also reduces the likelihood of Public Safety Power Shutoffs, which can have a disruptive impact on both customers and the company's operations.
By investing in such infrastructure improvements, SCE demonstrates a commitment to safety and reliability, which can enhance its reputation and potentially lead to regulatory support. This focus on sustainability and infrastructure could also attract investors who are increasingly sensitive to environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors. The long-term benefits of reduced operational risks and improved public perception are likely to contribute positively to the company's financial health and stock valuation.
Edison International's performance should be contextualized within the broader utility sector, where companies are often evaluated on their ability to provide consistent and predictable returns to investors. The company's reiteration of long-term core EPS growth rate targets suggests a stable outlook, which is particularly appealing in a sector known for its defensive investment characteristics. Additionally, the escalation mechanism in place allows for a degree of protection against inflationary pressures, a factor of increasing importance in today's economic climate.
Furthermore, the company's strategic focus on infrastructure investment, as evidenced by its covered conductor program, aligns with the industry's shift towards modernization and reliability. By staying ahead of regulatory pressures and public safety concerns, Edison International positions itself favorably against competitors. The company's proactive approach may serve as a benchmark within the industry and could influence investor perceptions of the company's management team and their ability to navigate future challenges.

ROSEMEAD, Calif. --(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Edison International (NYSE: EIX) today reported fourth-quarter net income of $378 million , or $0.99 per share, compared to net income of $415 million , or $1.09 per share, in the fourth quarter of last year. As adjusted, fourth-quarter core earnings were $490 million , or $1.28 per share, compared to core earnings of $437 million , or $1.15 per share, in the fourth quarter of last year.
Southern California Edison’s fourth-quarter 2023 core earnings per share (EPS) increased year over year, primarily due to higher revenue from the escalation mechanism set forth in the 2021 General Rate Case (GRC) final decision and lower operation and maintenance expenses, partially offset by higher interest expense.
Edison International Parent and Other’s fourth-quarter 2023 core loss per share decreased year over year, primarily due to gains on preferred stock repurchases.
“Delivering core EPS above the midpoint of our guidance range demonstrates our ability to successfully manage variability in the business,” said Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International. “Our 2023 annual dividend increase of 5.8% reflects the board and management’s continued commitment to delivering on our EPS growth targets. Looking ahead, we reiterate the strong confidence we have in our long-term EPS growth targets of 5% to 7% for 2021 through 2025 and 2025 through 2028.”
Pizarro added, “SCE’s industry-leading covered conductor program continues to make tremendous progress. In just five years, SCE has installed more than 5,580 circuit miles of covered conductor. When combined with enhanced vegetation management, asset inspections and other programs, this has significantly reduced the need for Public Safety Power Shutoffs.”
Full-Year Earnings
For 2023, Edison International reported net income of $1,197 million , or $3.12 per share, compared to $612 million , or $1.61 per share, for 2022. As adjusted, Edison International’s core earnings were $1,825 million , or $4.76 per share, compared to $1,765 million , or $4.63 per share, in 2022.
SCE’s full-year core EPS was higher, primarily due to higher revenue from the escalation mechanism set forth in the 2021 GRC final decision and higher interest income on balancing account undercollections, partially offset by higher interest expense.
Edison International Parent and Other’s full-year loss per share increased primarily due to higher interest expense, partially offset by gains on preferred stock repurchases.
Edison International uses core earnings internally for financial planning and analysis of performance. Core earnings are also used when communicating with investors and analysts regarding Edison International’s earnings results to facilitate comparisons of the company’s performance from period to period.

Appendix
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Edison International’s earnings are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States and represent the company’s earnings as reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our management uses core earnings and core earnings per share (EPS) internally for financial planning and for analysis of performance of Edison International and Southern California Edison. We also use core earnings and core EPS when communicating with analysts and investors regarding our earnings results to facilitate comparisons of the Company’s performance from period to period. Financial measures referred to as net income, basic EPS, core earnings, or core EPS also apply to the description of earnings or earnings per share.
Core earnings and core EPS are non-GAAP financial measures and may not be comparable to those of other companies. Core earnings and core EPS are defined as basic earnings and basic EPS excluding income or loss from discontinued operations and income or loss from significant discrete items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings. Basic earnings and losses refer to net income or losses attributable to Edison International shareholders. Core earnings are reconciled to basic earnings in the attached tables. The impact of participating securities (vested awards that earn dividend equivalents that may participate in undistributed earnings with common stock) for the principal operating subsidiary is not material to the principal operating subsidiary’s EPS and is therefore reflected in the results of the Edison International holding company, which is included in Edison International Parent and Other.
Safe Harbor Statement
Statements contained in this presentation about future performance, including, without limitation, operating results, capital expenditures, rate base growth, dividend policy, financial outlook, and other statements that are not purely historical, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations; however, such statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from current expectations. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations only as of the date of this presentation, and Edison International assumes no duty to update them to reflect new information, events or circumstances. Important factors that could cause different results include, but are not limited to the:
ability of SCE to recover its costs through regulated rates, timely or at all, including uninsured wildfire-related and debris flow-related costs (including amounts paid for self-insured retention and co-insurance), costs incurred to mitigate the risk of utility equipment causing future wildfires, costs incurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and increased costs due to supply chain constraints, inflation and rising interest rates;
impact of affordability of customer rates on SCE's ability to execute its strategy, including the impact of affordability on the approval of operations and maintenance expenses, and proposed capital investment projects;
ability of SCE to implement its operational and strategic plans, including its Wildfire Mitigation Plan and capital program;
risks of regulatory or legislative restrictions that would limit SCE's ability to implement operational measures to mitigate wildfire risk, including Public Safety Power Shutoff (“PSPS”) and fast curve settings, when conditions warrant or would otherwise limit SCE's operational practices relative to wildfire risk mitigation;
ability of SCE to obtain safety certifications from the Office of Energy Infrastructure Safety of the California Natural Resources Agency (“OEIS”);
risk that California Assembly Bill 1054 (“AB 1054”) does not effectively mitigate the significant exposure faced by California investor-owned utilities related to liability for damages arising from catastrophic wildfires where utility facilities are alleged to be a substantial cause, including the longevity of the Wildfire Insurance Fund and the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) interpretation of and actions under AB 1054, including its interpretation of the prudency standard clarified by AB 1054;
risks associated with the operation of electrical facilities, including worker and public safety issues, the risk of utility assets causing or contributing to wildfires, failure, availability, efficiency, and output of equipment and facilities, and availability and cost of spare parts;
physical security of Edison International’s and SCE’s critical assets and personnel and the cybersecurity of Edison International’s and SCE’s critical information technology systems for grid control, and business, employee and customer data;
ability of Edison International and SCE to effectively attract, manage, develop and retain a skilled workforce, including its contract workers;
decisions and other actions by the CPUC, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission and other governmental authorities, including decisions and actions related to nationwide or statewide crisis, determinations of authorized rates of return or return on equity, the recoverability of wildfire-related and debris flow-related costs, issuance of SCE's wildfire safety certification, wildfire mitigation efforts, approval and implementation of electrification programs, and delays in executive, regulatory and legislative actions;
potential for penalties or disallowances for non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including fines, penalties and disallowances related to wildfires where SCE's equipment is alleged to be associated with ignition;
extreme weather-related incidents (including events caused, or exacerbated, by climate change, such as wildfires, debris flows, flooding, droughts, high wind events and extreme heat events) and other natural disasters (such as earthquakes), which could cause, among other things, public safety issues, property damage, rotating outages and other operational issues (such as issues due to damaged infrastructure), PSPS activations and unanticipated costs;
cost and availability of labor, equipment and materials, including as a result of supply chain constraints and inflation;
ability of Edison International or SCE to borrow funds and access bank and capital markets on reasonable terms;
risks associated with the decommissioning of San Onofre, including those related to worker and public safety, public opposition, permitting, governmental approvals, on-site storage of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive material, delays, contractual disputes, and cost overruns;
risks associated with cost allocation resulting in higher rates for utility bundled service customers because of possible customer bypass or departure for other electricity providers such as Community Choice Aggregators (“CCA,” which are cities, counties, and certain other public agencies with the authority to generate and/or purchase electricity for their local residents and businesses) and Electric Service Providers (entities that offer electric power and ancillary services to retail customers, other than electrical corporations (like SCE) and CCAs);
risks inherent in SCE’s capital investment program, including those related to project site identification, public opposition, environmental mitigation, construction, permitting, contractor performance, changes in the California Independent System Operator’s transmission plans, and governmental approvals; and
actions by credit rating agencies to downgrade Edison International or SCE’s credit ratings or to place those ratings on negative watch or negative outlook.
Additional information about risks and uncertainties, including more detail about the factors described in this release, is contained in Edison International and SCE’s 2023 Form 10-K, including the "Risk Factors" sections. Readers are urged to read this entire release including information incorporated by reference, as well as the 2023 Form 10-K, and carefully consider the risks, uncertainties, and other factors that affect Edison International's and SCE's businesses.
