MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

Highlights of Operating Results

Edison International is the ultimate parent holding company of SCE and Edison Energy, LLC, doing business as Trio. SCE is an investor-owned public utility primarily engaged in the business of supplying and delivering electricity to an approximately 50,000 square mile area across Southern, Central and Coastal California. Trio is a global energy advisory firm providing integrated sustainability and energy solutions to commercial, industrial and institutional customers. Trio's business activities are currently not material to report as a separate business segment.

Edison International's earnings are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses core earnings (loss) internally for financial planning and for analysis of performance. Core earnings (loss) 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. Core earnings (loss) are a non-GAAP financial measure and may not be comparable to those of other companies. Core earnings (loss) are defined as earnings available to Edison International shareholders less non-core items. Non-core items include income or loss from discontinued operations and income or loss from significant discrete items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings, such as write downs, asset impairments and other income and expense related to changes in law, outcomes in tax, regulatory or legal proceedings, and exit activities, including sale of certain assets and other activities that are no longer continuing. SCE implemented a customer-funded wildfire self-insurance program in 2023. With the commencement of this program, Edison International and SCE no longer consider wildfire-related claim losses to be representative of ongoing earnings and treat such costs as non-core items.

1SCE and Edison International Parent and Other non-core items are tax-effected at an estimated statutory rate of approximately 28%; wildfire claims and expenses insured by EIS are tax-effected at the federal statutory rate of 21%.

Edison International's first quarter 2026 earnings decreased $905 million from the first quarter of 2025, resulting from a decrease in SCE's earnings of $948 million, partially offset by a decrease in Edison International Parent and Other's loss of $43 million. SCE's lower net income consisted of a $16 million non-core loss in 2026 compared to $947 million non-core earnings in 2025, partially offset by $15 million of higher core earnings. Edison International Parent and Other's loss decreased by $43 million due to $40 million of higher non-core earnings and $3 million of lower core loss.

Table of Contents

The increase in SCE's core earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from the same period in 2025 was primarily due to the adoption of the 2025 GRC final decision in the third quarter of 2025, partially offset by the absence of a benefit to interest expense related to cost recoveries authorized under the TKM Settlement Agreement in 2025. The decrease in Edison International Parent and Other's core loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily due to lower preferred stock dividends, partially offset by higher interest expense.

Consolidated non-core items for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 for Edison International included:

•Wildfire-related recoveries, net of claims and expenses:

•Net earnings of $13 million ($9 million after-tax) recorded in 2026 primarily due to expected recoveries, partially offset by claims and legal expenses associated with Other Wildfire Events.

•Net earnings of $1,351 million ($973 million after-tax) in 2025 primarily related to the TKM Settlement Agreement and insurance reimbursements related to Other Wildfire Events.

See "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies" for further information.

•Charges of $35 million ($25 million after-tax) and $36 million ($26 million after-tax) recorded in 2026 and 2025, respectively, from amortization of SCE's contributions to the Wildfire Fund. See "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further information.

•Net earnings of $1 million ($1 million after-tax) recorded in 2026 primarily due to updated estimates of claims accruals, net of legal expenses, and charges of $50 million ($39 million after-tax) recorded in 2025, both related to wildfire claims insured by EIS. See "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements— Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies" for further information.

See "Results of Operations" for discussion of SCE's and Edison International Parent and Other's results of operations.

Capital Program

Capital Expenditures

Total capital expenditures (including accruals) were $1.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. As discussed in the 2025 Form 10-K, SCE forecasts total capital expenditures ranging from $37.5 billion to $40.6 billion for 2026 – 2030, and weighted average annual rate base from $50.8 billion to $67.9 billion for 2026 – 2030. These capital program and rate base projections incorporate the planned CPUC-jurisdictional spending as informed by the 2025 GRC final decision and expected FERC capital expenditures, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Capital Investment Plan" below and "Management Overview — Capital Program" in the 2025 MD&A.

Southern California Wildfires

Unprecedented weather conditions in California due to climate change and greater concentrations of residents in high-fire risk areas, among other things, have contributed to wildfires, including those where SCE's equipment has been alleged to be associated with the fire's ignition, that have caused loss of life and substantial damage in SCE's service area.

SCE continues to implement its WMP to reduce the risk of SCE equipment contributing to the ignition of wildfires. Further to the investments SCE is making as part of its WMP, SCE also uses its PSPS program to proactively de-energize power lines as a last resort to mitigate the risk of significant wildfires during extreme weather events. In addition, California has increased its investment in wildfire prevention and fire suppression capabilities. Yet, the potential for catastrophic wildfire activity in SCE's service area still exists.

In February 2026, the OEIS issued a final decision approving SCE’s 2026 – 2028 WMP. In March 2026, the OEIS issued SCE's safety certification which is valid until March 2, 2027. Provided SCE timely submits a request for its next safety certification, its current safety certification will remain valid until the OEIS acts on its request.

In April 2026, the CEA submitted to the California Legislature and the Governor a report required by SB 254 that evaluates California’s approach to natural catastrophe risk, including wildfires. The report identifies increasing natural catastrophe risk driven by climate‑related factors, development in wildfire‑prone areas, fuel conditions, and other systematic factors, and highlights challenges in wildfire mitigation, insurance availability, liability allocation, and post‑event recovery. The report observes that failure to address escalating wildfire risk would prolong recovery for affected communities, significantly increase electric utility costs, driving higher customer rates, and also could elevate insurance premiums statewide. Continued inaction would expose SCE to risk of credit downgrades and heightened financial stress, limiting access to capital needed to maintain safe and reliable infrastructure. Taken together, these dynamics would exacerbate

affordability pressures, undermine market stability, and impede SCE's ability to support long‑term reliability and climate‑related objectives.

Against this backdrop, the report presents a framework of policy options organized around three non‑exclusive pathways: committing to community‑level wildfire mitigation, including measures to reduce the severity and scale of catastrophic events through coordinated community‑based risk reduction, home‑ and neighborhood‑level hardening, and risk-informed targeting of mitigation investments; equitably allocating catastrophe burdens among stakeholders, including through insurance and liability‑related mechanisms such as insurance market reforms, quicker compensation and claims‑handling structures, and potential changes to utility wildfire liability frameworks; and defining potential state roles in catastrophe resilience, including options such as expanded or restructured catastrophe financing mechanisms, state‑level risk pooling or backstops, and other approaches intended to address extreme loss events.

The report discusses options with varying implementation timeframes and fiscal impacts and does not recommend or endorse any specific policy approach. Edison International and SCE are engaging with stakeholders in the legislative process related to wildfire-related risks, however, they cannot predict whether or when there will be a comprehensive economy-wide solution mitigating the significant risk faced by California investor-owned utilities related to wildfires.

Eaton Fire

In January 2025, several wind-driven wildfires impacted portions of SCE's service area, causing loss of life, substantial damage to both residential and business properties, and service outages for SCE customers. One of the largest of these wildfires, the Eaton Fire, ignited in SCE's service area in Los Angeles County and spread due to a number of contributing factors under conditions of an extreme Santa Ana windstorm.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department is leading the investigation into the origin and cause of the Eaton Fire, with the assistance of CAL FIRE, and has identified a preliminary area of origin of the fire. SCE has transmission facilities in the preliminary area of origin and the SED is conducting an investigation with respect to the Eaton Fire. Edison International and SCE are also aware of an ongoing investigation by the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office of the Eaton Fire for the purpose of determining whether any criminal violations have occurred. SCE could be subject to material fines, penalties, or restitution if it is determined that it failed to comply with applicable laws and regulations. SCE is not aware of any basis for felony liability with regards to the Eaton Fire. Any fines and penalties incurred in connection with the Eaton Fire will not be recoverable from insurance, from the Wildfire Fund

1SCE and Edison International Parent and Other non-core items are tax-effected at an estimated statutory rate of approximately 28%; wildfire claims insured by EIS insurance contract are tax-effected at the federal statutory rate of 21%.

Edison International's 2025 earnings increased $3,175 million, driven by an increase in SCE's earnings of $3,270 million, partially offset by an increase in Edison International Parent and Other loss of $95 million. SCE's higher net income consisted of $679 million of higher core earnings and $2,591 million of higher non-core earnings. Edison International Parent and Other's higher net loss consisted of $59 million of higher core loss and $36 million of higher non-core loss.

In January and December 2025, the CPUC approved the TKM Settlement Agreement and the Woolsey Settlement Agreement, respectively. As a result, in the year ended 2025, SCE recorded cost recoveries through CPUC electric rates authorized under both the TKM Settlement Agreement and the Woolsey Settlement Agreement. These cost recoveries are reflected either as core earnings or non-core items, as discussed below. This classification is consistent with the original classification when the respective costs were incurred.

The increase in SCE's core earnings in 2025 was primarily due to higher revenue from the 2025 GRC final decision and a benefit to interest expense related to cost recoveries authorized under the TKM and Woolsey Settlement Agreements. The increase in Edison International Parent and Other's core loss in 2025, was primarily due to higher interest expense and preferred stock redemption loss.

Consolidated non-core items for 2025 and 2024 for Edison International included:

•2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events claims and expenses, net of recoveries:

•Net earnings recorded in 2025 related to the TKM Settlement Agreement, including ongoing legal expenses: $1,341 million ($966 million after-tax) of claim costs and $55 million ($40 million after-tax) of legal expenses authorized for recovery, partially offset by shareholder-funded wildfire mitigation expenses of $50 million ($36 million after-tax) and impairment of incremental restoration-related assets of $8 million ($6 million after-tax).

Electricity Industry Trends

The electric power industry is undergoing urgent and fundamental changes in how energy infrastructure is planned and built, driven by new sources of demand, such as electric vehicles, data centers, and building electrification; technological innovations that support clean energy adoption, such as distributed generation and energy storage; and government actions to reduce GHG emissions. These factors, coupled with the increasing impacts of climate change, are altering the way in which electricity is generated and delivered. These changes are further amplified by rapidly rising electricity demand across the U.S. economy, which is reshaping investment needs and grid planning timelines.

Rising electricity demand across the U.S. economy is a primary force reshaping grid needs and investment planning. SCE projects electricity demand to nearly double between 2025 and 2045, driven by transportation electrification, new residential housing, and increases in commercial and industrial consumption. These economy-wide trends create broad customer and climate benefits by supporting long-term emissions reduction. Emerging market uncertainties, tighter resource timelines, and rising costs have increased the complexity of long‑term clean energy planning, adding pressure to California's climate goals. Despite this, California has demonstrated strong long-term support of transportation electrification. Edison International believes that more state policy support, along with public and private investment, is needed to enable California to reach its 2030 and 2045 GHG reduction targets. Additional policy and regulatory support is also needed to de-risk the development of clean firm resources, adjust planning processes to enable proactive grid build-

out, and streamline permitting processes. The current federal administration has declared a national emergency on energy, stressing the need for a reliable, diversified, and affordable supply of energy. The integrity and expansion of energy infrastructure is an immediate and pressing priority.

In parallel, climate change impacts continue to intensify the need for system resilience and clean‑energy adoption. The impacts of climate change are apparent and accelerating. In 2024, the Earth experienced its hottest year on record. This spike in temperature is making extreme weather events commonplace. In California alone, climate-related disasters have cost the state tens of billions of dollars since 2018, with the 2025 wildfires being particularly devastating. Climate change is expected to have far-reaching effects on society, necessitating industry-wide solutions to enhance grid resilience and support a clean, reliable and affordable grid.

Recent federal actions have challenged clean energy standards and regulations in jurisdictions across the country. Rising customer cost pressures underscore the importance of enacting electricity policies and investment decisions that balance affordability while supporting a reliable and clean energy transition. California remains committed to reducing its GHG emissions, improving local air quality and supporting continued economic growth. The state codified into law goals to reduce GHG emissions by 40% from 1990 levels by 2030 and 85% from the same baseline by 2045, as well as to be carbon neutral by 2045. State and local air quality plans also call for substantial improvements including reducing smog-causing nitrogen oxides 90% below 2010 levels by 2032 in the most polluted areas of the state. State and local agencies continue to develop regulations that support the state's climate and clean air goals.

While these policy goals cannot be achieved by the electric sector alone, the electric grid is a critical enabler of the adoption of energy technologies that support California's GHG reduction objectives. California has set RPS targets which require California retail sellers of electricity to provide 60% of power from renewable resources by 2030. California also requires sellers of electricity to deliver 100% of retail sales from carbon-free sources by 2045, including interim targets of 90% by 2035 and 95% by 2040. Using preliminary estimates based on information available as of February 11, 2026, approximately 61% of SCE's customer deliveries in 2025 came from carbon-free resources. SCE continues to make progress towards meeting its long-term RPS and carbon-free power goals and interim targets. In addition, Edison International is committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2045, in alignment with economy-wide climate actions planned by California. This commitment covers the power SCE delivers to customers and Edison International's enterprise-wide operations. To further support these goals, Edison International and SCE are investing in building a more resilient grid to reduce climate- and weather-related vulnerabilities. Since 2018, SCE has been adapting to climate change through system hardening to reduce wildfire risk. SCE continues to make grid hardening investments approved in SCE's 2025 GRC to address wildfire risks. SCE is conducting ongoing analysis for wildfire and other climate adaptation vulnerabilities that will be presented in its 2026 climate adaptation vulnerability assessment.

Edison International believes that California's 2045 goals can be achieved most economically through emissions reductions enabled by clean electricity to serve 100% of retail sales, electrifying approximately 90% of light-duty vehicles, 90% of medium-duty vehicles, 54% of heavy-duty vehicles, 80% of buses and 95% of buildings. Additionally, reducing emissions to near zero in the electric sector relies on developing clean firm resources to replace natural gas. Clean firm resources, such as next-generation geothermal, small modular nuclear reactors, natural gas with carbon capture and storage, and clean hydrogen, produce constant power through any weather condition or season with little or no greenhouse gas emissions.

Edison International's vision is to lead the transformation of the electric power industry and the company is focused on opportunities in delivering clean energy, advancing electrification, building a modernized and more reliable grid, and enabling customers' technology choices. SCE's ongoing focus to drive operational and service excellence is intended to allow it to achieve these objectives safely while controlling costs and customer rates. SCE expects its bundled system average rate will rise at a compound annual growth rate equal to or below inflation through 2030. This projected rate growth incorporates the 2025 GRC approval and settlement of the cost recovery proceedings for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events (See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides" for further information). Partially offsetting these increases are historical costs coming out of rates and rising electricity consumption. SCE projects that, even as electricity bills increase over time, total energy costs for the average SCE household will be reduced by approximately 40% by 2045 due to the adoption of energy-efficient electrified technologies among other drivers.

SCE’s investments in the grid, utility owned storage capacity, and contracts for substantial new clean energy resources are key enablers of reliable economy-wide electrification. See "—Capital Program," "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Investment Plan," and "Business—SCE—Purchased Power and Fuel Supply—CAISO Wholesale Energy Market" for further details. SCE also continues to implement its transportation electrification programs. As of December 31, 2025, SCE had completed construction at 572 sites to support 9,761 charge ports under its suite of light-duty Charge Ready programs, and 132 sites to support the electrification of 2,859 medium and heavy-duty vehicles through its Charge Ready Transport program. More than 85% of SCE's planned capital investments are in its distribution grid and are essential to meeting grid reliability, resiliency, and readiness objectives, as discussed in "—Capital Program."

Changes in the electric power industry are impacting customers and jurisdictions outside California as well. Many other states and countries are also pursuing climate change and GHG reduction objectives, and large commercial and industrial customers are continuing to pursue cost reduction and sustainability goals. Trio is a global energy advisory firm providing integrated sustainability and energy solutions to commercial, industrial and institutional customers who may be impacted by these changes.

To better engage in this broader transformation and provide a view of developments outside of SCE, Edison International has also made several investments in emerging companies in areas related to the technology and business model changes that are driving industry transformation and may make additional investments in the future. These investments are not financially material to Edison International.

Cost of Capital Application

In December 2025, the CPUC issued a final decision on SCE's 2026 – 2028 cost of capital application that set SCE's ROE at 10.03%, and maintained SCE's current authorized capital structure, after CPUC-allowed exclusions, of 52% common equity, 43% long-term debt, and 5% preferred equity. Under the final decision, SCE's 2026 authorized cost of long-term debt and preferred equity are 4.71% and 6.89%, respectively. Based on the approved capital structure and costs, SCE's weighted average return on rate base for 2026 will be 7.59%. Based on the revenue requirement approved in SCE's 2025 GRC, the final decision will decrease SCE's revenue requirement in 2026 by approximately $51 million compared to the previously authorized cost of capital. The decision maintains the existing cost of capital adjustment mechanism. For information on the cost of capital adjustment mechanism, see "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process."

Capital Program

Capital Expenditures

Total capital expenditures (including accruals) were $6.7 billion in 2025 and $5.7 billion in 2024.

SCE's capital expenditure forecast has been updated to reflect planned CPUC-jurisdictional spending as informed by the 2025 GRC final decision and expected FERC capital expenditures.

The table below reflects forecast capital expenditures for 2026 – 2030, based on authorized and planned CPUC-jurisdictional spending and current management expectations of FERC-jurisdictional spending. CPUC-jurisdictional spending includes amounts authorized in the 2025 GRC, and other planned non-GRC CPUC capital spending. Forecast expenditures for FERC capital projects are subject to change due to factors such as timeliness of permitting, licensing, regulatory approvals, contractor bids, supply chain issues, and other operational considerations.

Based on management's judgment of potential capital spending variability informed by historical precedent of previously authorized amounts, potential permitting delays, and other operational considerations, a range case was prepared reflecting reductions to CPUC non-GRC capital expenditures and FERC capital expenditures.

The following table sets forth a summary of capital expenditures for 2025 actual spend and a forecast for 2026 – 2030 on the basis described above:

SCE intends to file an application with the CPUC in the first quarter of 2026 requesting capital expenditures of at least $3 billion to be spent between 2026 through 2033 for an advanced metering infrastructure program that supports improved grid management and customer benefits. Approximately half of the capital expenditures are included in the table above.

In addition, from 2022 to 2025, CAISO released its annual transmission plans approving projects to be constructed by SCE, with total anticipated capital expenditures of approximately $3 billion, of which approximately $1 billion is included in the table above. As part of its 2025-2026 Transmission Planning Process, CAISO is reassessing certain SCE projects from the 2022-2023 Transmission Plan and plans to provide its recommendation by May 2026.

Rate Base

SCE's year-end rate base was $48.2 billion at December 31, 2025, compared to $45.7 billion at December 31, 2024.

SCE's authorized CPUC-jurisdictional rate base is determined through the GRC and other regulatory proceedings. Differences between actual and CPUC-authorized rate base are addressed in subsequent GRCs or other regulatory proceedings. FERC-jurisdictional rate base is determined based on actual capital expenditures.

Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides

Unprecedented weather conditions in California due to climate change and greater concentrations of residents in high-fire risk areas, among other things, have contributed to wildfires, including those where SCE's equipment has been alleged to be associated with the fire's ignition, that have caused loss of life and substantial damage in SCE's service area.

SCE continues to implement its WMP to reduce the risk of SCE equipment contributing to the ignition of wildfires. Further to the investments SCE is making as part of its WMP, SCE also uses its PSPS program to proactively de-energize power lines as a last resort to mitigate the risk of significant wildfires during extreme weather events. In addition, California has increased its investment in wildfire prevention and fire suppression capabilities. Yet, the potential for catastrophic wildfire activity in SCE's service area still exists.

In 2025, a Continuation Account within the Wildfire Fund was established under SB 254 to supplement the Initial Account within the Wildfire Fund that was established in 2019. In recognition of the need for further action, SB 254 requires the administrator of the Wildfire Fund to submit to the California legislature and the governor, by April 1, 2026, a report that evaluates and sets forth recommendations on new models or approaches that mitigate damage, accelerate recovery, and responsibly and equitably allocate the burdens from natural catastrophes, including wildfires, across stakeholders, to complement or replace the Wildfire Fund. While Edison International and SCE continue to pursue legislative strategies to address California investor-owned utilities' exposure to wildfire-related liabilities, they cannot predict whether or when there will be a comprehensive economy-wide solution mitigating the significant risk faced by California investor-owned utilities related to wildfires.

Eaton Fire

In January 2025, several wind-driven wildfires impacted portions of SCE's service area, causing loss of life, substantial damage to both residential and business properties, and service outages for SCE customers. One of the largest of these wildfires, the Eaton Fire, ignited in SCE's service area in Los Angeles County and spread due to a number of contributing factors under conditions of an extreme Santa Ana windstorm.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department is leading the investigation into the origin and cause of the Eaton Fire, with the assistance of CAL FIRE, and has identified a preliminary area of origin of the fire. SCE has transmission facilities in the preliminary area of origin and the SED is conducting an investigation with respect to the Eaton Fire. Edison International and SCE are also aware of an ongoing investigation by the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office of the Eaton Fire for the purpose of determining whether any criminal violations have occurred. SCE could be subject to material fines, penalties, or restitution if it is determined that it failed to comply with applicable laws and regulations. SCE is not aware of any basis for

Table of Contents

felony liability with regards to the Eaton Fire. Any fines and penalties incurred in connection with the Eaton Fire will not be recoverable from insurance, from the Wildfire Fund, or through electric rates.

Multiple lawsuits related to the Eaton Fire have been initiated against SCE and Edison International by individual plaintiffs, subrogation plaintiffs, and public entity plaintiffs related to the Eaton Fire. A bellwether jury trial in the Eaton Fire litigation has been set for January 2027.

SCE’s internal review into the facts and circumstances of the Eaton Fire is complex and ongoing. SCE's review includes ongoing inspections of its facilities and records and of third-party information and testing. While SCE has not conclusively determined that its equipment caused the ignition of the Eaton Fire, a viable explanation is that a de-energized idle SCE transmission facility in the preliminary area of origin was associated with the ignition of the fire and SCE is not aware of evidence pointing to another possible source of ignition. Absent additional evidence, SCE believes that it is likely that its equipment could have been associated with the ignition of the Eaton Fire and is pursuing settlement of claims through its Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program, a program designed to enable eligible individuals and businesses impacted by the Eaton Fire to seek expedited resolution of their claims.

SCE has entered into settlements with insurance claimants and claimants under its Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program related to the Eaton Fire. As of December 31, 2025, SCE had recorded $1.1 billion in losses related to these settlements. SCE also recorded expected recoveries from customer-funded self-insurance of $917 million, from the Wildfire Fund of $134 million, and through FERC electric rates of $70 million. The net after tax charge to earnings recorded related to the settlements is $9 million, the after-tax impact of the required $12.5 million shareholder contribution related to SCE's customer-funded self-insurance coverage.

In light of pending litigation, it is probable that Edison International and SCE will incur additional material losses in connection with the Eaton Fire. Given, among other things, the complexities associated with estimating damages, the large number and varying types of claims and the interrelationship among the claims, uncertainties related to the sufficiency of insurance held by plaintiffs and potential plaintiffs, and uncertainties related to litigation processes and the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program, Edison International and SCE are currently unable to reasonably estimate a range of losses that may be incurred in connection with the Eaton Fire.

In January 2026, SCE filed a cross-complaint against certain public and private entities whose actions or inaction may have caused, contributed to or exacerbated the losses that resulted from the fire.

SCE will exhaust self-insurance recoveries available for losses related to the Eaton Fire as a result of costs incurred and settlements entered into as of February 11, 2026. SCE has advised the administrator of the Wildfire Fund that it anticipates that it will seek reimbursement of eligible claims arising from the Eaton Fire from the Initial Account and the administrator has confirmed that the Eaton Fire is a "covered wildfire" for purposes of accessing the Initial Account. SCE will be reimbursed for losses incurred in excess of $1.0 billion for eligible claims for third-party damages related to the Eaton Fire from the Initial Account, subject to approval of the fund administrator and the Initial Account's claims-paying capacity. The fund administrator has reported that the fund's claims-paying capacity for the Eaton Fire, as of September 30, 2025, exceeds $21 billion.

SCE will file an application with the CPUC for review of its costs and expenses related to the Eaton Fire after it has resolved all or, if authorized by the CPUC, substantially all third-party damage claims related to the fire, or upon earlier request of the fund administrator. Because SCE held a valid safety certification at the time of the Eaton Fire, SCE will be presumed to have acted prudently unless a party in the proceeding creates "serious doubt" as to the reasonableness of its conduct, in which case SCE will have the burden of dispelling that doubt and proving its conduct was prudent. The prudency standard does not necessitate perfect conduct and California Wildfire Legislation requires that the CPUC allow recovery if it determines that SCE's conduct related to the ignition of the Eaton Fire was consistent with actions of a reasonable utility. SCE believes that the CPUC's determination regarding the reasonableness of its ignition-related conduct should be based on an evaluation of the reasonableness of its overall policies, systems, and practices. The CPUC has not applied the California Wildfire Legislation prudency framework to a wildfire cost-recovery proceeding.

SCE believes that it is a reasonable operator of its electric system. Based on the information it has reviewed, SCE believes that it will be able to make a good faith showing that its conduct with respect to its transmission facilities in the preliminary area of origin was consistent with the actions of a reasonable utility.

The CPUC will determine the prudency of SCE's ignition-related conduct in a formal proceeding. If the CPUC finds that SCE's conduct related to the ignition of the Eaton Fire was not prudent, it may nevertheless allow cost recovery in full or in part taking into account factors both within and beyond SCE's control that may have exacerbated the costs, including, for example, winds, humidity, temperature, emergency response, evacuation timing and availability of firefighting resources. Because SCE held a safety certification at the time of the ignition, it will be required to reimburse the Initial Account only for amounts disallowed by the CPUC up to the applicable Liability Cap of approximately $4.3 billion, unless the fund

Table of Contents

administrator finds that SCE's actions or inactions relative to the ignition of the Eaton Fire constitute conscious or willful disregard of the rights and safety of others, in which case SCE will be required to reimburse the Initial Account for all withdrawn amounts that the CPUC disallowed.

SCE will be able to seek recovery of prudently incurred uninsured wildfire costs not covered by the Initial Account, assessed under the prudency standard clarified under the California Wildfire Legislation, through electric rates.

2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events

Overview

Multiple lawsuits and investigations related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events have been initiated against SCE and Edison International. SCE has previously entered into settlements with a number of local public entities, subrogation and individual plaintiffs in the TKM and Woolsey Fire litigations and under the SED Agreement. As of February 11, 2026, in addition to the outstanding claims of approximately 100 of the approximately 15,000 initial individual plaintiffs, there were alleged and potential claims of certain public entity plaintiffs, including CAL OES, outstanding.

Through December 31, 2025, SCE has recorded estimated losses of $9.9 billion, recoveries from insurance of $2.0 billion, all of which have been collected, and expected recoveries through electric rates of $3.4 billion, $413 million of which has been collected through FERC rates subject to refund, related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events claims. The cumulative after-tax net charges to earnings recorded through December 31, 2025, have been $3.2 billion.

As of December 31, 2025, SCE had paid $9.7 billion under executed settlements and had $48 million to be paid under executed settlements, including $42 million to be paid under the SED Agreement, related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. After giving effect to all payment obligations under settlements entered into through December 31, 2025, Edison International's and SCE's best estimate of expected losses for remaining alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events was $144 million.

Estimated losses for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation are based on a number of assumptions and are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Actual losses incurred may be higher or lower than estimated based on several factors, including the uncertainty in estimating damages that have been or may be alleged. Edison International and SCE may incur a material loss in excess of amounts accrued in connection with the remaining alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events.

Approval of CPUC-Jurisdictional Rate Recovery in 2025

In 2025, SCE recorded regulatory assets for recoveries permitted under the TKM Settlement Agreement and Woolsey Settlement Agreement. Under the TKM Settlement Agreement and the Woolsey Settlement Agreement, SCE is allowed to permanently exclude any after-tax charges to equity associated with the costs disallowed, waived, or funded by shareholders in the settlement agreements and the debt issued to finance those costs from its CPUC regulatory capital structure.

TKM Settlement Agreement

In January 2025, the CPUC approved the TKM Settlement Agreement under which SCE is authorized to recover 60%, or approximately $1.6 billion, of approximately $2.7 billion of losses, consisting of approximately $1.3 billion of uninsured claims paid as of May 31, 2024 and $0.3 billion of associated costs, composed of legal and financing costs incurred as of May 31, 2024 and estimated ongoing financing costs. SCE is also authorized to recover 60% of claims paid and related costs incurred after May 31, 2024, other than for $125 million of uninsured claims and related financing costs which SCE waived its right to seek recovery of under the SED Agreement. In August 2025, the CPUC authorized SCE to finance these amounts through the issuance of securitized bonds and, in December 2025, SCE issued securitized bonds in the amount of $1.6 billion to finance cost recoveries authorized under the TKM Settlement Agreement.

Under the TKM Settlement Agreement, SCE is also authorized to recover approximately $55 million of approximately $65 million in restoration costs incurred. Further, as required under the TKM Settlement Agreement, SCE recorded $50 million of shareholder-funded wildfire mitigation expenses in 2025.

Woolsey Settlement Agreement

In December 2025, the CPUC approved the Woolsey Settlement Agreement. As a result, SCE recorded cost recoveries through CPUC electric rates of approximately $2.0 billion, of approximately $5.6 billion of losses, consisting of approximately $1.6 billion of uninsured claims paid as of May 31, 2025, and $0.4 billion of costs, composed of legal costs paid as of May 31, 2025, and estimated ongoing financing costs. SCE was also authorized to recover 35% of claims paid and related costs incurred after May 31, 2025. SCE’s requests for recovery excluded $250 million of uninsured claims and related financing costs which SCE waived its right to seek recovery of under the SED Agreement. In January 2026, SCE

10

Table of Contents

filed an application to seek approval from the CPUC to finance the amounts authorized under the Woolsey Settlement Agreement through the issuance of securitized bonds. The parties to the Woolsey Settlement Agreement agreed that if SCE’s anticipated application for securitization is denied, the authorized amounts will be recovered in rates over five years, financed using long-term debt.

Under the Woolsey Settlement Agreement, SCE is also authorized to recover approximately $71 million of approximately $84 million in restoration costs incurred. In the Woolsey Settlement Agreement, SCE also waived its right to seek recovery of uninsured losses tracked in a Wildfire Expense Memorandum Account and incurred in connection with fires that ignited prior to July 12, 2019, the date AB 1054 was adopted. SCE estimates that the waived pre-AB 1054 losses are approximately $157 million.

Other Wildfire Events

In addition to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, several other wildfires significantly impacted portions of SCE's service area prior to 2025, including the 2017 Creek Fire, the 2019 Saddle Ridge Fire, the 2020 Bobcat Fire, the 2020 Silverado Fire, the 2022 Coastal Fire and the 2022 Fairview Fire.

Through December 31, 2025, SCE has recorded total estimated losses of $1.2 billion, expected recoveries from insurance and third parties of $800 million and expected recoveries through electric rates of $130 million related to the Other Wildfire Events claims. The cumulative after-tax net charges to earnings recorded through December 31, 2025, have been $165 million.

As of December 31, 2025, SCE had paid $943 million under executed settlements and had $4 million to be paid under executed settlements related to the Other Wildfire Events and Edison International's and SCE's estimated losses for remaining alleged and potential claims (established at the low end of the estimated range of reasonably possible losses) related to the Other Wildfire Events was $213 million. As of the same date, SCE had assets for expected recoveries through insurance and third parties of $237 million and through electric rates of $116 million on its consolidated balance sheets related to the Other Wildfire Events.

Edison International and SCE may incur material losses in excess of the amounts accrued for certain of the Other Wildfire Events. Edison International and SCE expect that additional losses incurred in connection with any such fire will be covered by insurance, subject to self-insured retentions and co-insurance, and expect that any such additional losses after expected recoveries from insurance, and third parties, and through electric rates will not be material.

In light of the prudency standard the CPUC is required to apply under California Wildfire Legislation to utilities holding a safety certification at the time a wildfire ignited after July 12, 2019, SCE has concluded, at this time, that both uninsured CPUC-jurisdictional and uninsured FERC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs related to the Other Wildfire Events that ignited after July 2019 for which it has deferred as regulatory assets are probable of recovery through electric rates. SCE will continue to evaluate the probability of recovery based on available evidence, including regulatory decisions, such as any CPUC decisions illustrating the interpretation and/or application of the prudency standard under California Wildfire Legislation, and, for each applicable fire, evidence that could cast serious doubt as to the reasonableness of SCE's conduct relative to that fire.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SCE

The following discusses SCE's consolidated statements of income for 2025 and 2024. In general, expenses SCE is authorized to pass through directly to customers (such as purchased power and fuel expenses, flow-through taxes, as well as costs incurred for various programs and activities, such as public purpose programs and vegetation management activities) and the corresponding amount of revenues collected to recover those pass-through costs do not impact net income.

Impact of 2025 GRC

The 2025 GRC final decision was approved by the CPUC in September 2025, and determines the amount of revenue that SCE is authorized to collect from customers to recover anticipated costs, including return on rate base. The final decision approved an authorized revenue requirement of $9.7 billion in 2025, an increase of $880 million over the adjusted 2024 authorized revenue requirement (see table below for more details).

3Authorized revenue for operation and maintenance expenses increased primarily due to higher authorized wildfire expenditures.

4Authorized revenue for depreciation increased primarily due to higher plant balances.

5Authorized revenue for return increased primarily due to authorized rate base growth.

SCE recorded net charges of $76 million ($39 million after-tax), primarily due to an $88 million impairment of utility property, plant and equipment associated with historical capital expenditures disallowed in the final decision, mainly related to the rooftop solar photovoltaic program. This was partially offset by the recognition of a $12 million clean energy subsidy previously received for this program.

2025 vs 2024

Operating Revenue

Higher net operating revenue of $1,729 million was primarily due to:

•An increase in revenue of $880 million resulting from implementing the 2025 GRC final decision, as discussed in "—Impact of 2025 GRC."

•An increase in revenue of $758 million related to net higher expenses that are passed through to customers, which included increases in:

•Wildfire-related claims of $899 million;

•Depreciation and amortization expense of $108 million;

•Interest expense of $38 million;

•Property and other taxes of $11 million;

•Other income of $4 million;

•Income tax expense of $2 million;

partially offset by decreases in:

•Purchased power and fuel expense of $276 million;

•Operation and maintenance expense of $28 million.

•An increase in revenue of $91 million was primarily due to higher balancing account rate base primarily associated with wildfire mitigation efforts and utility owned energy storage projects.

Table of Contents

Purchased Power and Fuel

A decrease in purchased power and fuel costs of $276 million was primarily due to lower power prices (offset in "Operating Revenue" above).

Operation and Maintenance

A decrease in operation and maintenance expense of $65 million was primarily due to:

•A net decrease of $28 million related to lower expenses that are passed through to customers (offset in "Operating Revenue" above, which mainly included:

•A net lower expense of $273 million related to previously deferred wildfire mitigation, vegetation management, and emergency restoration costs authorized for recovery in 2025 than in 2024.

These decreases are partially offset by:

•$98 million higher FERC-jurisdictional costs primarily due to increased transmission allocation;

•$78 million higher uncollectible expense;

•$69 million primarily related to higher public programs expenses.

•A decrease of $115 million in legal costs, of which $58 million related to recoveries under the TKM Settlement Agreement, $37 million related to recoveries under the Woolsey Settlement Agreement, and $20 million related to lower costs associated with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."

•A decrease of $53 million related to severance costs recorded in 2024 due to workforce reductions.

•A charge of $62 million recorded in 2025 primarily associated with disallowed historical expenses related to 2021 GRC wildfire mitigation memorandum account balances. For additional information, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Regulatory Proceedings."

•A charge of $50 million recorded in 2025 related to shareholder-funded wildfire mitigation costs stipulated under the TKM Settlement Agreement. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."

•An increase of $19 million primarily related to higher wildfire mitigation related activities.

Wildfire-related Claims, Net of Recoveries

A decrease in wildfire-related claims, net of recoveries of $2,656 million was primarily due to:

•A recovery of $1,603 million in claim costs was recorded in 2025 as authorized under the Woolsey Settlement Agreement.

•A recovery of $1,341 million in claim costs was recorded in 2025 as authorized under the TKM Settlement Agreement.

•A decrease of $490 million related to lower claim costs for 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events recorded in 2025 than in 2024, $28 million of which was expected to be recovered through FERC rates (offset in "Operating Revenue" above).

•A decrease of $157 million related to lower claim costs recorded in 2025 than in 2024 for Other Wildfire Events, $10 million of which was expected to be recovered through FERC rates (offset in "Operating Revenue" above).

•A decrease of $14 million due to insurance reimbursements recorded in 2025 for costs incurred in previous years related to Other Wildfire Events.

partially offset by:

•An increase of $949 million related to wildfire claim costs recorded in 2025 related to the Eaton Fire. These costs include $917 million covered by customer-funded self-insurance and $19 million expected FERC recovery (offset in "Operating Revenue" above) and $12.5 million from the shareholder contribution related to SCE's customer-funded self-insurance coverage.

For further information, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."

Depreciation and Amortization

An increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $368 million was primarily due to higher plant balances, $108 million of which were pass-through costs mainly associated with wildfire mitigation costs and utility owned energy storage projects (offset in "Operating Revenue" above).

Property and Other Taxes

An increase in property and other taxes expense of $42 million was primarily due to higher assessed property values, $11 million of which were pass-through costs mainly associated with wildfire mitigation costs and utility owned energy storage projects (offset in "Operating Revenue" above).

Asset Impairment

Charges of $106 million recorded in 2025 primarily related to:

•$88 million impairment of utility property, plant and equipment associated with historical capital expenditures disallowed in SCE's 2025 GRC final decision.

•$18 million impairment of utility property, plant and equipment associated with historical capital expenditures disallowed in the TKM and Woolsey Settlement Agreements.

Interest Expense

A net decrease in interest expense of $368 million was primarily due to:

•$171 million benefit related to cost recoveries authorized under the TKM Settlement Agreement;

•$243 million benefit related to cost recoveries under the Woolsey Settlement Agreement;

partially offset by:

•$38 million pass-through expense mainly associated with wildfire mitigation efforts and utility owned energy storage projects (offset in "Operating Revenue" above);

•$8 million higher interest expense from higher borrowings.

Other Income, Net

A decrease in other income, net of $46 million was primarily due to lower interest income driven by lower balancing account undercollection balances, and $4 million of higher pass-through costs (offset in "Operating Revenue" above).

Income Tax Expense

An increase in income tax expense of $1,295 million was primarily due to higher tax expense on higher pre-tax income. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes" for a reconciliation of the federal statutory rate to the effective income tax rate.

Preference Stock Dividend Requirements

A decrease in preference stock dividend requirements of $31 million was primarily due to a lower amount of outstanding preference stock following 2024 and 2025 redemptions.

Edison International Parent and Other

Results of operations for Edison International Parent and Other include amounts from other subsidiaries that are not reportable segments, as well as intercompany eliminations.

Edison International Parent and Other net loss available to common shareholders$(430)$(335)$(95)

The net loss available to common shareholders from operations of Edison International Parent and Other increased $95 million in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to expenses from wildfire claims insured by an EIS insurance contract (see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements— Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies and Note 17. Related-Party Transactions" for further information), higher interest expense, and preferred stock redemption loss in 2025.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

SCE

SCE's ability to operate its business, fund capital expenditures, and implement its business strategy is dependent upon its operating cash flow and access to the bank and capital markets. SCE's overall cash flows fluctuate based on, among other things, its ability to recover its costs in a timely manner from its customers through regulated rates, changes in commodity prices and volumes, collateral requirements, interest obligations, dividend payments to and equity contributions from Edison International, obligations to preference shareholders, and the outcome of tax, regulatory and legal matters.

In the next 12 months, SCE expects to fund its cash requirements through operating cash flows, capital market and bank financings, and equity contributions from Edison International Parent, as needed. In addition, SCE expects to fund authorized wildfire-related cost recoveries through securitization financings, and fund costs related to the Eaton Fire through customer-funded self-insurances and reimbursement from the Initial Account. SCE also has availability under its credit facility and agreements with lenders to issue bilateral unsecured standby letters of credit to fund cash requirements. SCE may issue additional debt for general corporate purposes.

In December 2025, SCE issued securitized bonds in the amount of $1.6 billion to finance cost recoveries authorized under the TKM Settlement Agreement. In addition, SCE expects to finance approximately $2.0 billion of cost recoveries authorized under the Woolsey Settlement Agreement by issuing securitized bonds, subject to the approval of a securitization financing application filed in January 2026. For further details on the settlements, see "Management Overview—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."

During the year ended December 31, 2025, SCE issued a total of $3.0 billion of first and refunding mortgage bonds. In February 2026, SCE entered into a term loan agreement to borrow up to $300 million due in March 2027. For further details, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."

In December 2025, SCE repurchased 7,250,967 shares of 5.45% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Trust Preference Securities (the "Series K Trust Securities") issued by SCE Trust V through a tender offer for an aggregate amount paid of $181 million, which includes accrued and unpaid dividends. SCE subsequently exchanged substantially all of these Series K Trust Securities for 72,509 shares of SCE's Series K preference stock, which it retired. SCE paid the consideration and the fees and expenses incurred with cash on hand. In addition, in December 2025, SCE fully redeemed 5.375% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Trust Preference Securities (the "Series J Trust Securities") issued by SCE Trust IV for an aggregate amount paid of $325 million. SCE subsequently exchanged all of these Series J Trust Securities for SCE's Series J preference stock, which it retired. In February 2026, SCE announced that it will redeem all the outstanding shares of its Series K preference stock which will cause SCE Trust V to redeem all of its outstanding 5.45% Series K Trust Securities. The redemption date will be March 15, 2026 at the redemption price of $25 per Series K Trust Security. For further details, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14. Equity."

For restrictions on SCE's ability to pay dividends, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—SCE Dividends."

Credit Ratings

Following the passage of SB 254 in September 2025, Moody's reaffirmed SCE's long-term issuer credit rating and outlook, and Fitch also reaffirmed SCE's credit rating and revised its outlook from ratings watch negative to stable. However, S&P

16

Table of Contents

downgraded SCE's long-term issuer credit rating. For further details on SB 254, see "Business—Southern California Wildfires—Recovery of Wildfire-Related Costs—California Wildfire Legislation." The following table summarizes SCE's current long-term issuer credit ratings and outlook from the major credit rating agencies as of February 11, 2026:

Moody'sFitchS&P
Credit RatingBaa1BBBBBB-
OutlookStableStableNegative

SCE's credit ratings may be affected by various factors. These include, but are not limited to, failure by regulators to successfully implement the California Wildfire Legislation in a consistent and credit supportive manner, or investigations into wildfire events or associated settlements result in material utility liability exposure, particularly in the absence of broader credit-supportive legislative actions to mitigate SCE's wildfire risk, including those to be recommended under SB 254 in a report due April 1, 2026. Additionally, a persistent increase in the frequency and severity of wildfires in California may lead the credit rating agencies to reassess SCE's wildfire-related operational risk exposure or believe the Wildfire Fund is at risk of material depletion. Credit rating downgrades increase the cost and may impact the availability of short-term and long-term borrowings, including commercial paper, credit facilities, bond financings or other borrowings. In addition, some of SCE's power procurement contracts, environmental remediation obligations and workers' compensation self-insurance would require SCE to pay related liabilities or post additional collateral if SCE's credit rating were to fall below investment grade. For further details, see "—Margin and Collateral Deposits."

Available Liquidity

At December 31, 2025, SCE had cash on hand of $98 million and restricted cash of $522 million collected from customer-funded self-insurance. SCE also has approximately $2.3 billion available to borrow on its $3.4 billion revolving credit facility. The credit facility is available for borrowing needs until May 2029. The aggregate maximum principal amount under the SCE revolving credit facility may be increased up to $4.0 billion, provided that additional lender commitments are obtained. SCE also had standby letters of credit with total capacity of $660 million, and the unused amount was $513 million as of December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2025, SCE had $1.0 billion outstanding commercial paper, net of discount, at a weighted average interest rate of 4.59% supported by the revolving credit facility. For further details, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."

SCE may finance balancing account undercollections and working capital requirements to support operations and capital expenditures with commercial paper, its credit facilities or other borrowings, subject to availability in the bank and capital markets and within levels authorized by the CPUC. As necessary, SCE will utilize its available liquidity, capital market financings, other borrowings or parent company equity contributions to SCE in order to meet its obligations as they become due, including costs related to the wildfire events. SCE expects to use customer-funded self-insurance and reimbursement from the Initial Account to fund wildfire claims. For further information, see "Management Overview—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."

Debt Covenant

SCE's credit facilities and term loan require a debt to total capitalization ratio as defined in the applicable agreements of less than or equal to 0.65 to 1. At December 31, 2025, SCE's debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.57 to 1.

At December 31, 2025, SCE was in compliance with all financial covenants that affect access to capital.

Regulatory Proceedings

Wildfire Related Regulatory Proceedings

In response to the increase in wildfire activity and faster progression of and increase in damage from wildfires across SCE's service area and throughout California, SCE has incurred wildfire mitigation and wildfire and drought restoration related spending at levels exceeding amounts authorized in SCE's GRCs. For regulatory proceedings related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, see "Management Overview—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."

2024 Multi-year Wildfire Mitigation and Catastrophic Events Filing ("2024 WMCE Filing")

In December 2025, SCE filed its 2024 WMCE Filing, seeking to recover incremental operating and maintenance expenses of $55 million and incremental capital expenditures of $78 million, recorded in the wildfire risk mitigation balancing account, as well as incremental storm-related costs associated with certain 2017 – 2021 events recorded in the catastrophic event memorandum account. The application also seeks recovery of $36 million in wildfire mitigation related capital expenditures incurred in 2022 that were previously denied without prejudice and permitted to be included in base rates as

part of the post-test year ratemaking mechanism, see "—2021 GRC Wildfire Mitigation Memorandum Account Balances" for further discussion. SCE proposed a procedural schedule with the final decision in December 2026.

2023 Multi-year Wildfire Mitigation and Catastrophic Events Filing ("2023 WMCE Filing")

In June 2025, the CPUC approved a settlement agreement among SCE, Cal Advocates, and Small Business Utility Advocates in the WMCE proceeding under which SCE is authorized to recover $702 million in capital expenditures and $308 million in operation and maintenance expenses. This resulted in an initial revenue requirement of $314 million, which has been implemented into customer rates over a 12-month period starting October 1, 2025, along with ongoing capital revenue requirement and interest.

2021 GRC Wildfire Mitigation Memorandum Account Balances

In June 2025, the CPUC issued a final decision that authorized recovery of $291 million in operations and maintenance expenses and $99 million in capital expenditures. The portion of the initial revenue requirement above the interim rate recovery levels has been implemented in customer rates over a 12-month period starting October 1, 2025, along with ongoing capital revenue requirement and interest. Additionally, the final decision disallowed recovery of $65 million in operations and maintenance expenses, and determined that $36 million of requested capital expenditures were not eligible for recovery as part of this proceeding. SCE has filed an application for rehearing with the CPUC regarding the disallowances in this decision.

NextGen Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") Program

In March 2025, SCE filed an application with the CPUC seeking funding for the replacement of its core ERP system that has been in service for over 15 years and will soon reach the end of its service life. SCE requested funding through a balancing account of recorded and forecast capital expenditures of approximately $1.1 billion and operations and maintenance expenditures of $239 million. SCE anticipates a proposed decision will be issued by the CPUC in 2026.

2026 FERC Formula Rate Annual Update

In November 2025, SCE filed its 2026 annual transmission revenue requirement update with the FERC, with rates effective January 1, 2026. The update reflects a 2026 transmission revenue requirement of $1.5 billion, which is a $157 million, or 12%, increase from the 2025 annual rates. The increase is primarily due to 2026 rates reflecting recovery of previous undercollections.

Riverside Transmission Reliability Project

The Riverside Transmission Reliability Project is a joint project between SCE and Riverside Public Utilities ("RPU"), the municipal utility department of the City of Riverside. While RPU will be responsible for constructing some of the project's facilities within Riverside, SCE's portion of the project consists of constructing upgrades to its system, including a new 230 kV substation; certain interconnection and telecommunication facilities and overhead transmission lines in the cities of Riverside, Jurupa Valley, and Norco and in portions of unincorporated Riverside County. SCE began construction in June 2025. The current cost estimate of the project is $748 million and the project is expected to be completed in 2029.

18

Table of Contents

Alberhill System Project

The Alberhill System Project consists of constructing a new 500 kV substation, two 500 kV transmission lines to connect the proposed substation to the existing Serrano-Valley 500 kV transmission line, telecommunication equipment, and subtransmission lines in western Riverside County. The project was designed to meet long-term forecasted electrical demand in the proposed Alberhill System Project area and to increase electrical system reliability and resiliency. In June 2024, the CPUC issued an addendum to its 2017 Final Environmental Impact Report, concluding its California Environmental Quality Act review. The project is now seeking final CPUC approval to begin construction. SCE is expecting the final CPUC decision in the first quarter of 2026.

Eldorado-Lugo-Mohave Upgrade Project

The Eldorado-Lugo-Mohave Upgrade Project will increase capacity on existing transmission lines to allow additional renewable energy to flow from Nevada to Southern California. The project would modify SCE's existing Eldorado, Lugo, and Mohave electrical substations to accommodate the increased power flows from Nevada to southern California; increase the power flow through the existing 500 kV transmission lines by constructing two new capacitors along the lines; raise transmission tower heights to meet ground clearance requirements; and install fiber optics on the transmission lines to provide communications between existing SCE substations. In August 2020, the CPUC approved the certificate of public convenience and necessity ("CPCN") for the project.

Construction for the project began in November 2020. The total costs for the Eldorado-Lugo-Mohave Upgrade Project are expected to exceed amounts currently approved in the CPCN granted by the CPUC due to delays in regulatory approvals, contractor performance issues, supply chain constraints, COVID-19 impacts, and the availability of CAISO outage windows. SCE's petition for modification ("PFM") to increase the direct expenditures for the project from $247 million to $319 million was approved by CPUC and the project went into service in 2025. Additional work after the in-service date is required to mitigate the impact of the project on nearby natural gas transmission lines. In January 2026, SCE filed a second PFM to request an approximately $48 million to address the additional costs of the mitigation work. The mitigation work is expected to be completed in 2026.

Decommissioning of San Onofre

The decommissioning of a nuclear plant requires the management of three related activities: radiological decommissioning, non-radiological decommissioning, and the management of spent nuclear fuel. SCE is the operating agent of San Onofre and engaged the DGC to undertake a significant scope of decommissioning activities for the three nuclear reactor installations at San Onofre: Units 1, 2 and 3. The decommissioning of San Onofre is expected to take many years. SCE funds decommissioning costs, including costs associated with storing spent nuclear fuel, with assets that are currently held in nuclear decommissioning trusts.

Under federal law, the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") is responsible for the selection and construction of a facility for the permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. The DOE has not met its contractual obligation to accept spent nuclear fuel. Extended delays by the DOE have led to the construction of costly alternatives and associated siting and environmental issues. Two Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations ("ISFSI") store nuclear fuel onsite at San Onofre. The first stores nuclear fuel from all three Units ("ISFSI 1") and the second stores nuclear fuel from Units 2 and 3 ("ISFSI 2").

SCE's two Coastal Development Permits ("CDPs"), the principal discretionary permits required for maintaining the ISFSIs onsite, currently extend through 2035. SCE must apply to amend the CDPs before the permits expire, proposing whether to retain, remove, or relocate the ISFSI.

Decommissioning of Unit 1 began in 1999 and the transfer of spent nuclear fuel from Unit 1 to dry cask storage in ISFSI 1 was completed in 2005. Major decommissioning work for Unit 1 has been completed except for certain underground work.

Decommissioning of Units 2 and 3 began in June 2013 and the transfer of spent nuclear fuel from Units 2 and 3 to dry cask storage in the two ISFSIs was completed in August 2020. In August 2020, SCE commenced, and is currently conducting, major decommissioning activities in accordance with the terms of the CDP for decommissioning Units 2 and 3.

SCE's share of the Units 2 and 3 decommissioning costs recorded for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $163 million (in 2025 dollars) and $218 million (in 2024 dollars), respectively. The CPUC conducts a reasonableness review of recorded decommissioning costs in NDCTPs, which are submitted every three years.

SCE filed its 2024 NDCTP in December 2024. In the 2024 NDCTP, SCE requests reasonableness review of approximately $538 million (SCE share in 2024 dollars) of recorded Units 2 and 3 decommissioning costs incurred during the period 2021 to 2023. SCE also requests approval of an updated decommissioning cost estimate for decommissioning activities to be completed at Units 2 and 3 of $3.0 billion, of which $2.3 billion is SCE's share (in 2024 dollars). The decommissioning

19

Table of Contents

cost estimate includes costs through the expected decommissioning completion date, currently estimated to be in 2056. SCE anticipates a proposed decision will be issued by the CPUC in 2026.

Decommissioning cost estimates are subject to a number of uncertainties including the cost and timing of nuclear waste disposal, the time it will take to obtain required permits, cost of removal of property, site remediation costs, as well as a number of other assumptions and estimates, including when the federal government will provide for either interim or permanent off-site storage of spent nuclear fuel enabling the removal and transport of spent fuel canisters from the San Onofre site, as to which there can be no assurance. Cost estimates are subject to change as decommissioning proceeds and such changes may be material.

SCE had nuclear decommissioning trust funds for Units 2 and 3 of $2.0 billion at December 31, 2025 and $2.1 billion at December 31, 2024. Based upon the resolution of a number of uncertainties, including the uncertainties of decommissioning discussed above, the financial performance of the nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments, as well as the resolution of a number of other assumptions and estimates, additional contributions to the nuclear decommissioning trust's funds may be required. If additional contributions to the nuclear decommissioning trust funds become necessary, SCE will seek recovery of additional contributions to the decommissioning trust through electric rates and any such recovery will be subject to a reasonableness review by the CPUC. Cost increases resulting from contractual disputes, delays in performance by the contractor, elevated levels of inflation, or permitting delays, among other things, could cause SCE to materially overrun the decommissioning cost estimate and could materially impact the sufficiency of trust funds.

In December 2025, the CPUC approved disbursements from SCE's nuclear decommissioning trusts to cover forecasted 2026 decommissioning costs for Units 2 and 3, of which SCE's share is approximately $167 million in 2026 dollars.

Margin and Collateral Deposits

Certain derivative instruments, power and energy procurement contracts, and other contractual arrangements contain collateral requirements. Future collateral requirements may differ from the requirements at December 31, 2025 due to the addition of incremental power and energy procurement contracts with collateral requirements, if any, the impact of changes in wholesale power and natural gas prices on SCE's contractual obligations, and the impact of SCE's credit ratings falling below investment grade. See "—SCE" above for further information on SCE's credit ratings.

The table below provides the amount of collateral posted by SCE to its counterparties as well as the potential collateral that would have been required as of December 31, 2025, if SCE's credit rating had been downgraded to below investment grade as of that date. The table below also provides the potential collateral that could be required due to adverse changes in wholesale power and natural gas prices over the remaining lives of existing power and fuel contracts.

In addition to amounts shown in the table, power and fuel contract counterparties may also institute new collateral requirements, applicable to future transactions to allow SCE to continue trading in power and fuel contracts at the time of a downgrade or upon significant increases in market prices.

3Incremental collateral requirements were based on potential changes in SCE's forward positions as of December 31, 2025 due to adverse market price movements over the remaining lives of the existing power and fuel derivative contracts using a 95% confidence level.

Furthermore, SCE may be required to post collateral for workers' compensation in excess of standard formula amounts, currently up to $115 million, in the event of volatile credit rating conditions, during which the Office of Self-Insurance Plans, which oversees workers' compensation self-insurance within California, may exercise discretion to impose higher collateral requirements. SCE posted $12 million under such discretionary authority in the second quarter of 2025. SCE may

also be required to post up to $50 million in collateral in connection with its environmental remediation obligations, within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year in which a downgrade below investment grade occurs.

Edison International Parent and Other

In the next 12 months, Edison International Parent expects to fund its net cash requirements through cash on hand, dividends from SCE, and capital market and bank financings. Edison International Parent may finance its ongoing cash requirements, including dividends, working capital requirements, payment of obligations, and capital investments, including capital contributions to subsidiaries, with short-term or other financings, subject to availability in the bank and capital markets.

At December 31, 2025, Edison International Parent had cash on hand of $60 million and $744 million available to borrow on its $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. The credit facility is available for borrowing needs until May 2029. The aggregate maximum principal amount under the Edison International Parent revolving credit facility may be increased up to $2.0 billion, provided that additional lender commitments are obtained. For further information, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."

At December 31, 2025, Edison International Parent had $754 million outstanding commercial paper, net of discount, at a weighted-average interest rate of 4.58% supported by the revolving credit facility.

In the first quarter of 2025, Edison International Parent issued $550 million of senior notes. In December 2025, Edison International Parent borrowed $600 million under a term loan agreement due in December 2026. For further details, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."

In December 2025, Edison International repurchased 744,975 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock and 415,517 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock through a tender offer for an aggregate amount paid of $1.2 billion, which includes accrued and unpaid dividends. Edison International paid the consideration and the fees and expenses incurred with cash on hand and proceeds of debt issuances. In February 2026, Edison International announced that it will redeem all outstanding shares of its Series A Preferred Stock. The redemption date will be March 9, 2026 at the redemption price of $1,000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. For further information, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14. Equity."

On February 18, 2026, Edison International declared a common stock dividend of $0.8775 per share to be paid on April 30, 2026. Edison International Parent and Other's liquidity and its ability to pay operating expenses and pay dividends to common shareholders are dependent on access to the bank and capital markets, dividends from SCE, realization of tax benefits and its ability to meet California law requirements for the declaration of dividends. Prior to declaring dividends, the Edison International Board of Directors evaluates available information, including when applicable, information pertaining to wildfire events, to ensure that the California law requirements for the declarations are met. For information on the California law requirements on the declaration of dividends, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—SCE Dividends." Edison International intends to maintain its target payout ratio of 45% – 55% of SCE's core earnings, subject to the factors identified above.

Edison International's ability to declare and pay common dividends may be restricted under the terms of its Series A and Series B Preferred Stock. For further information, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14. Equity."

Edison International Parent's credit facility and term loan requires a consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio as defined in the applicable agreements of less than or equal to 0.70 to 1. At December 31, 2025, Edison International's consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.64 to 1.

At December 31, 2025, Edison International Parent was in compliance with all financial covenants that affect access to capital.

Credit Ratings

Following the passage of SB 254 in September 2025, Moody's reaffirmed SCE's long-term issuer credit rating and outlook, and Fitch also reaffirmed SCE's credit rating and revised its outlook from ratings watch negative to stable. However, S&P downgraded SCE's long-term issuer credit rating. For further details on SB 254, see "Business—Southern California Wildfires—Recovery of Wildfire-Related Costs—California Wildfire Legislation." The following table summarizes Edison International Parent's current long-term issuer credit ratings and outlook from the major credit rating agencies, and Edison

Edison International Parent's credit ratings may be affected by various factors. These include, but are not limited to, failure by regulators to successfully implement the California Wildfire Legislation in a consistent and credit-supportive manner, or investigations into wildfire events or associated settlements result in material utility liability exposure, particularly in the absence of broader credit-supportive legislative actions to mitigate SCE's wildfire risk, including those to be recommended under SB 254 in a report due April 1, 2026. Additionally, a persistent increase in the frequency and severity of wildfires in California may lead the credit rating agencies to reassess Edison International Parent's wildfire-related operational risk exposure or believe the Wildfire Fund is at risk of material depletion. Credit rating downgrades increase the cost and may impact the availability of short-term and long-term borrowings, including commercial paper, credit facilities, note financings or other borrowings.

Edison International Income Taxes

Net Operating Loss and Tax Credit Carryforwards

At December 31, 2025, Edison International has approximately $3.1 billion of tax effected net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards available to offset future consolidated tax liabilities, after excluding $106 million of Capistrano Wind tax attributes and offsetting $404 million of unrecognized tax benefits.

See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes" for further information regarding taxes payable to Capistrano Wind.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

The IRA imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax ("CAMT") on adjusted financial statement income ("AFSI") of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1.0 billion over the three preceding calendar years. The CAMT was effective beginning January 1, 2023. Based on the current interpretation of the law and historical financial data, Edison International estimates that it will exceed the $1.0 billion threshold and be subject to CAMT on its consolidated federal tax returns beginning in 2026. SCE will also be subject to CAMT in 2026.

Under the IRA, SCE generated investment tax credits of approximately $231 million in 2024 related to utility owned storage projects and $29 million in nuclear production tax credits. In 2025, SCE monetized the majority of these credits for $236 million. SCE expects to pass the proceeds, net of transaction fees, back to customers.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 ("OBBBA") was enacted into law. The OBBBA, among other things, phases out various clean energy credits enacted as part of the IRA. These phase-outs, however, are not expected to impact the investment tax credits related to SCE's utility owned storage projects discussed above under "—Inflation Reduction Act of 2022."

Edison International and SCE expect most of the impacts resulting from the implementation of the OBBBA will be passed through to customers.

Net cash provided by operating activities$6,152$5,383$769

1Includes nuclear decommissioning trusts. See "Nuclear Decommissioning Activities" below for further information. The amount in 2025 includes $236 million in cash proceeds primarily from the monetization of investment tax credits related to utility owned storage projects, which SCE expects to flow through to customers. The amount in 2024 also includes cash received from customers to fund certain construction projects and cash received for a state incentive program to pass through to customers.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $769 million in 2025 compared to 2024. The increase was primarily due to $645 million from changes in working capital and the investment tax credit proceeds of $236 million mentioned above in the change of other noncurrent assets and liabilities.

The net inflows (outflows) in cash resulting from working capital were $424 million and $(221) million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net cash inflows for 2025 were primarily due to cash collected from the sale of renewable energy credits under a CPUC-established program during 2025 and a decrease in accounts receivable primarily resulted from improved collection. The net cash outflow in 2024 was mainly due to increases in unbilled revenue and power procurement related receivables.

Net cash (used in)/provided by regulatory assets and liabilities, including changes in net over or undercollections recorded in balancing accounts, was $(3,445) million and $1,219 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net decrease in regulatory assets and liabilities of $4.7 billion is primarily due to cost recoveries authorized under the TKM and Woolsey Settlement Agreements, as well as higher revenue from the 2025 GRC final decision, which is mostly offset with the increase in net income after adjustment for non-cash items. In addition, the remaining change in regulatory assets and liabilities is mainly due to a decrease in the recovery of prior year undercollections in 2025 compared to 2024. This decrease is driven by undercollections caused by higher gas prices in 2023, which were collected in 2024.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities are primarily due to capital expenditures and funding of nuclear decommissioning trusts. Cash used in capital expenditures were $6.5 billion and $5.7 billion for 2025 and 2024, respectively, primarily related to transmission, distribution and generation investments. SCE had a net redemption of nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $121 million in both 2025 and 2024. See "Nuclear Decommissioning Activities" below for further discussion.

Nuclear Decommissioning Activities

SCE's consolidated statements of cash flows include nuclear decommissioning activities, which are reflected in the following line items:

Net cash inflow (outflow)$8$(61)$69

Net cash used in operating activities relates to interest and dividends less administrative expenses, taxes and SCE's decommissioning costs. Investing activities represent the purchase and sale of investments within the nuclear decommissioning trusts, including the reinvestment of earnings from nuclear decommissioning trust investments.

Funds for decommissioning costs are requested from the nuclear decommissioning trusts one month in advance. Decommissioning disbursements are funded from sales of investments of the nuclear decommissioning trusts. The net cash impact reflects timing of decommissioning payments ($166 million and $222 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively) and reimbursements to SCE from the nuclear decommissioning trust ($176 million and $214 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively). The net cash outflow in 2024 also primarily includes $19 million of tax benefits received and a $30 million disallowance under the 2021 NDCTP (For further details, see "—Decommissioning of San Onofre), both contributed by SCE to the decommissioning trust.

Contractual Obligations and Contingencies

Contractual Obligations

SCE and Edison International Parent and Other have various contractual obligations, which are recorded as liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Other items, such as certain purchase commitments and other executory contracts, are not recognized as liabilities in the consolidated financial statements but are required to be disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

For details on long-term debt, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."

Certain power purchase agreements which SCE entered into with independent power producers are treated as operating or finance leases. In addition, SCE has other operating lease obligations primarily related to vehicles, office space and other equipment. For further discussion, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies" and "—Note 13. Leases."

SCE also has other purchase obligations primarily related to maintaining reliability and expanding SCE's transmission and distribution system and nuclear fuel supply contracts. For further discussion, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies."

Edison International Parent and Other and SCE have estimated contributions to the pension and PBOP plans. These amounts represent estimates that are based on assumptions that are subject to change. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 9. Compensation and Benefit Plans" for further information.

Edison International and SCE have a total net liability recorded for uncertain tax positions. Edison International and SCE cannot make reliable estimates of the cash flows by period due to uncertainty surrounding the timing of resolving these open tax issues with the tax authorities. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes" for further information.

For details on derivative obligations and asset retirement obligations, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 6. Derivative Instruments" and "—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," respectively.

Contingencies

Edison International's and SCE's material contingencies are discussed in "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies."

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

SCE has variable interests in power purchase contracts with variable interest entities. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 3. Variable Interest Entities."

MARKET RISK EXPOSURES

Edison International's and SCE's primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates, commodity prices and volumes, investment prices, and counterparty credit.

Interest Rate Risk

Edison International and SCE are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of financing, investing and borrowing activities used for liquidity purposes, and to fund business operations and capital investments. The nature and amount of Edison International's and SCE's long-term and short-term debt can be expected to vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. Fluctuations in interest rates can affect earnings and cash flows. Changes in interest rates may impact SCE's authorized rate of return for the period beyond 2026 through a CPUC cost of capital proceeding, see "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process" for further discussion. The following

December 31, 202430,51527,99426,82729,267

Commodity Price Risk

SCE and its customers are exposed to the risk of a change in the market price of natural gas, electric power and transmission congestion. Due to regulatory mechanisms, exposure to commodity prices is not expected to impact earnings but may impact timing of cash flows. SCE's hedging program is designed to reduce exposure to variability in market prices related to SCE's purchases and sales of electric power and natural gas. As part of this program, SCE enters into swaps, forward arrangements, and congestion revenue rights ("CRRs"). The transactions are pre-approved by the CPUC or executed in compliance with CPUC-approved procurement plans. Therefore, SCE expects recovery of its related hedging costs, as well as procurement costs, through the ERRA balancing account or CPUC-approved procurement plans. For more details of the ERRA balancing account, see "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process."

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The fair value of derivative instruments is included in the consolidated balance sheets unless subject to an exception under the applicable accounting guidance. Realized gains and losses from derivative instruments are expected to be recovered from or refunded to customers through regulatory mechanisms and, accordingly, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments have no impact on earnings. SCE does not use hedge accounting for these transactions due to this regulatory accounting treatment. For further discussion on fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements."

The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments used to mitigate exposure to commodity price risk was a net asset of $48 million and $212 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The following table summarizes the increase or decrease to the fair values of the net asset of derivative instruments included in the consolidated balance sheets, if the electricity prices or gas prices were changed while leaving all other assumptions constant:

Increase in electricity prices by 10%$15$34
Decrease in electricity prices by 10%(15)(34)
Increase in gas prices by 10%11
Decrease in gas prices by 10%(1)(1)

Investment Price Risk

Edison International and SCE are subject to investment price risk due to securities held as investments in the nuclear decommissioning trust and various pension and other post-retirement benefit plan trusts.

Nuclear Decommissioning Trust

As of December 31, 2025, SCE's nuclear decommissioning trust investments include equity investments of $1.9 billion and fixed income investments of $2.6 billion. These investments are exposed to price fluctuations in equity markets and changes in interest rates, as well as credit risk. SCE's investment policies and CPUC requirements place limitations on the types and investment grade ratings of the securities that may be held by the nuclear decommissioning trust. These policies restrict the trust from holding alternative investments and limit the trust funds' exposures to investments in highly illiquid markets. Due to regulatory mechanisms, investment earnings and realized and unrealized gains and losses increase or decrease the trust assets and the related regulatory asset or liability, and do not materially affect earnings. For further

27

Table of Contents

discussion on the nuclear decommissioning trust investments, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements" and "—Note 10. Investments."

PBOP and Pension Plan Assets

The PBOP Plan and the Southern California Edison Company Retirement Plan Trust assets include investments in equity securities, U.S. treasury securities, other fixed-income securities, common/collective funds, mutual funds, other investment entities, foreign exchange and interest rate contracts, and partnership/joint ventures. These investments are exposed to price fluctuations in equity markets and changes in interest rates, as well as credit risk. The investment of plan assets is overseen by a fiduciary investment committee. Risk is managed through diversification among multiple asset classes, managers, styles, and securities. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 9. Compensation and Benefit Plans" for additional information regarding investment strategy of plan assets.

Contributions related to SCE employees made to SCE pension plan are anticipated to be recovered through CPUC-approved regulatory mechanisms.

Credit Risk

Credit risk exposure from counterparties for power and gas trading activities is measured as the sum of net accounts receivable (accounts receivable less accounts payable) and the current fair value of net derivative assets (derivative assets less derivative liabilities) reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. SCE enters into master agreements which typically provide for a right of set-off. Accordingly, SCE's credit risk exposure from counterparties is based on a net exposure under these arrangements. SCE manages the credit risk on the portfolio of counterparties based on credit ratings and other publicly disclosed information, such as financial statements, regulatory filings and press releases, to guide it in the process of setting credit levels, risk limits and contractual arrangements, including master netting agreements. Based on SCE's policies and risk exposures related to credit, SCE does not anticipate a material adverse effect on their financial statements as a result of counterparty nonperformance. At December 31, 2025, SCE's power and gas trading counterparty credit risk exposure was $3 million, 31.7% of which was associated to counterparties with an investment grade rating of A or higher and 67.2% was associated with a CPUC approved electronic broker and exchange platform operating under a rigorous risk management framework.

For more information related to credit risks, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 6. Derivative Instruments."

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES

The accounting policies described below are considered critical to obtaining an understanding of Edison International's and SCE's consolidated financial statements because their application requires the use of significant estimates and judgments by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Management estimates and judgments are inherently uncertain and may differ significantly from actual results achieved. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if the estimate requires significant assumptions and changes in the estimate or, the use of alternative estimates, could have a material impact on Edison International's and SCE's results of operations or financial position. For more information on Edison International's and SCE's accounting policies, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."

Accounting for Contingencies

Nature of Estimates Required. Edison International and SCE record loss contingencies when management determines that the outcome of future events is probable of occurring and when the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies are recognized in the financial statements when they are realized.

Key Assumptions and Approach Used. The determination of an accrual for a loss contingency is based on management judgment and estimates with respect to the likely outcome of the matter, including the analysis of different scenarios. Recorded liabilities are adjusted when events or circumstances cause these judgments or estimates to change. In assessing whether a loss is probable, reasonably possible, or remote, Edison International and SCE may consider the following factors, among others: the nature of the litigation, claim or assessment, opinions or views of legal counsel and other advisors, and the experience gained from similar cases. For material contingencies when there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or an additional loss may be incurred, Edison International and SCE disclose the nature of the contingency and an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used. Actual amounts realized upon settlement of contingencies may be different than amounts recorded and disclosed and could have a significant impact on the liabilities, revenue and expenses recorded on the consolidated financial statements. For a discussion of contingencies, guarantees, and indemnities, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies."

28

Table of Contents

Application to Wildfires

As discussed in "Management Overview," wildfires in SCE's service area have caused loss of life, substantial damage to both residential and business properties, and service outages for SCE customers.

The extent of legal liability for wildfire-related damages in actions against utilities depends on a number of factors, including whether the utility substantially caused or contributed to the damages and whether parties seeking recovery of damages will be required to show negligence in addition to causation. Final determinations of legal liability for wildfire events, including determinations of whether SCE was negligent, would only be made during lengthy and complex litigation processes and settlements may be reached before determinations of legal liability are ever made.

Edison International and SCE may be unable to estimate a reasonably possible loss or range of losses that could be incurred in connection with a wildfire, including those where a loss is probable, due to the complexities associated with estimating damages, such as making judgments for which no reasonably substantive basis exists and which require significant speculation about the conduct of litigation counterparties. The large number and varying types of claims, including individual claims, subrogation claims, and claims from public entities, and the interrelationship among these claims, for example, levels of insurance held by claimants, can create additional estimation complexity and uncertainty. Management's ability to develop a reasonable estimate improves as information about the scope of the loss becomes more fully developed, key factual and legal issues are resolved, and as additional information becomes available through settlement and litigation processes.

Estimated losses for wildfire events are based on a number of assumptions and are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Those assumptions include volume of claims, damages asserted and associated loss, opinions of counsel regarding litigation risk, the status of and developments in the course of litigation, prior experience litigating and settling wildfire litigation claims, the amount of insurance that may offset losses, and estimating contributory liabilities from third parties who may be responsible for portions of loss. Actual losses incurred may be higher or lower than estimated based on several factors, including the uncertainty in estimating damages that have been or may be alleged. For instance, SCE will receive additional information with respect to damages claimed as the claims mediation and trial processes progress. Other factors that can cause actual losses incurred to be higher or lower than estimated include the ability to reach settlements and the outcomes of settlements reached through the ongoing claims mediation and trial processes, uncertainties related to the sufficiency of insurance held by plaintiffs and potential plaintiffs, uncertainties related to the litigation processes, including whether plaintiffs will ultimately pursue claims, uncertainty as to the legal and factual determinations to be made during litigation, including uncertainty as to the contributing causes of certain wildfires, and the uncertainty as to how these factors impact future settlements.

For more information related to the loss contingencies of the wildfires, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."

Rate Regulated Enterprises

Nature of Estimate Required. SCE follows the accounting principles for rate-regulated enterprises which are required for entities whose rates are set by regulators at levels intended to recover the estimated costs of providing service, plus a return on net investment, or rate base. Regulators may also impose penalties or grant incentives. Due to timing and other differences in the collection of revenue, these accounting principles allow a cost that would otherwise be charged as an expense by an unregulated entity to be capitalized as a regulatory asset if it is probable that such cost is recoverable through future rates; conversely the accounting principles require creation of a regulatory liability for amounts collected in rates to recover costs expected to be incurred in the future or amounts collected in excess of costs incurred and refundable to customers. In addition, SCE recognizes revenue and regulatory assets from alternative revenue programs, which enables the utility to adjust future rates in response to past activities or completed events, if certain criteria are met.

Accounting principles for rate-regulated enterprises also require recognition of an impairment loss if it becomes probable that the regulated utility will abandon a plant investment or the cost of a recently completed plant will be disallowed for ratemaking purposes, and a reasonable estimate of the amount of the disallowance can be made.

Key Assumptions and Approach Used. SCE's management assesses at the end of each reporting period whether regulatory assets are probable of future recovery by considering factors such as the current regulatory environment, the issuance of rate orders on recovery of the specific or a similar incurred cost to SCE or other rate-regulated entities, and other factors that would indicate that the regulator will treat an incurred cost as allowable for ratemaking purposes. Using these factors, management has determined that existing regulatory assets are probable of future recovery or settlement, and regulatory liabilities are properly identified. This determination reflects the current regulatory climate and is subject to change in the future. SCE also considers whether any plant investments are probable of abandonment or disallowance.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used. Significant management judgment is required to evaluate the anticipated recovery of regulatory assets and plant investments, the recognition of incentives and revenue subject to refund, as well as the

29

Table of Contents

anticipated cost of regulatory liabilities or penalties. If future recovery of costs ceases to be probable, all or part of the regulatory assets and/or plant investments would have to be written off against current period earnings, and additional regulatory liabilities would have to be recognized. At December 31, 2025, the consolidated balance sheets included regulatory assets of $16.3 billion and regulatory liabilities of $11.8 billion. If different judgments were reached on recovery of costs and timing of income recognition, SCE's earnings may vary from the amounts reported.

Application to Southern California Wildfires

Application to post-AB 1054 Wildfires

Management judgment is required to assess the probability of recovery of SCE's losses realized, in excess of available insurance, in connection with wildfires ignited after the adoption of AB 1054 in July 2019.

The CPUC and FERC may not allow SCE to recover uninsured losses through electric rates if it is determined that such losses were not reasonably or prudently incurred. The California Wildfire Legislation clarified that the CPUC must allow recovery of costs and expenses arising from a covered wildfire if the utility's conduct related to the ignition was consistent with actions that a reasonable utility would have undertaken in good faith under similar circumstances, at the relevant point in time, and based on the information available at that time. Further, utilities with a valid safety certification at the time of the relevant wildfire will be presumed to have acted prudently related to a wildfire ignition unless a party in the cost recovery proceeding creates "serious doubt" as to the reasonableness of the utility's conduct, at which time, the burden shifts back to the utility to dispel that doubt and prove its conduct was prudent. The serious doubt standard in the California Wildfire Legislation is modeled after the FERC cost recovery standard. SCE evaluates the probability of recovery of costs related to the Other Wildfire Events and the Eaton Fire that ignited after the adoption of the California Wildfire Legislation in the context of the prudency standard laid out by the California Wildfire Legislation above, including how the FERC applies the serious doubt standard. SCE’s evaluation also relies on its status as a holder of a valid safety certification, facts and other evidence known to date related to the ignition, and any regulatory decisions illustrating the interpretation and/or application of the prudency framework under the California Wildfire Legislation, which as of December 31, 2025, has not been applied by the CPUC to an actual cost recovery application filed by any California investor-owned utility. SCE also considers which costs are eligible for recovery based on precedent from other CPUC cost recovery proceedings. Management's assessment of the probability of recovery may change, related to changes in any of these factors in the future.

See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides" for further discussion of regulatory assets recorded for wildfire as of December 31, 2025.

Income Taxes

Nature of Estimates Required. As part of the process of preparing its consolidated financial statements, Edison International and SCE are required to estimate income taxes for each jurisdiction in which they operate. This process involves estimating actual current period tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depreciation, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within Edison International's and SCE's consolidated balance sheets, including net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Certain estimates and assumptions are required to determine whether deferred tax assets can and will be utilized in future periods. Based on currently enacted tax laws, Edison International expects to generate sufficient taxable income to fully utilize all loss and credit carryovers set to expire beyond 2025.

Edison International and SCE take certain tax positions they believe are in accordance with the applicable tax laws. However, these tax positions are subject to interpretation by the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities and the courts. Edison International and SCE determine uncertain tax positions in accordance with the authoritative guidance.

Key Assumptions and Approach Used. In determining whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards can be utilized, management analyzes the trend of GAAP earnings and then estimates the impact of future taxable income, reversing temporary differences and available prudent and feasible tax planning strategies based on currently enacted tax laws.

Accounting for tax obligations requires management judgment. Edison International's and SCE's management use judgment in determining whether the evidence indicates it is more likely than not, based solely on the technical merits, that a tax position will be sustained, and to determine the amount of tax benefits to be recognized. Judgment is also used in determining the likelihood a tax position will be settled and possible settlement outcomes. In assessing uncertain tax positions Edison International and SCE consider, among others, the following factors: the facts and circumstances of the position, regulations, rulings, case law, opinions or views of legal counsel and other advisers, and the experience gained from similar tax positions. Edison International and SCE evaluate uncertain tax positions at the end of each reporting period and make adjustments when warranted based on changes in fact or law.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used. Should a change in facts or circumstances, including a change in enacted tax legislation, lead to a change in judgment about the ultimate realizability of a deferred tax asset, Edison International and SCE would record or adjust the related valuation allowance in the period that the change in facts and circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding increase or decrease in the provision for income taxes.

Actual income taxes may differ from the estimated amounts which could have a significant impact on the liabilities, revenue, and expenses recorded in the financial statements. Edison International and SCE continue to be under audit or subject to audit for multiple years in various jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required to determine the tax treatment of particular tax positions that involve interpretations of complex tax laws. Such liabilities are based on judgment and a final determination could take many years from the time the liability is recorded. Furthermore, settlement of tax positions included in open tax years may be resolved by compromises of tax positions based on current factors and business considerations that may result in material adjustments to income taxes previously estimated. For a discussion of current and deferred taxes, net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, unrecognized tax benefits, and tax disputes, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes."

Nuclear Decommissioning – Asset Retirement Obligation

Key Assumptions and Approach Used. Units 1, 2, and 3 decommissioning cost estimates are updated in each NDCTP and when there are material changes to the timing or amount of estimated future cash flows. Palo Verde decommissioning cost estimates are updated by the operating agent, Arizona Public Services, every three years and when there are material changes to the timing or amount of estimated future cash flows. SCE estimates that it will spend approximately $7.4 billion, undiscounted through 2098, to decommission its nuclear facilities.

The current ARO estimates for San Onofre and Palo Verde are based on:

•Decommissioning Costs. The estimated costs for labor, material, equipment and other, and low-level radioactive waste costs are included in each of the NRC decommissioning stages: license termination, site restoration and spent fuel storage. The liability to decommission SCE's nuclear power facilities is based on a 2024 decommissioning study, filed as part of the 2024 NDCTP, for Units 1, 2, and 3 and a 2023 decommissioning study for Palo Verde.

•Escalation Rates. Annual escalation rates are used to convert the decommissioning cost estimates in base year dollars to decommissioning cost estimates in future-year dollars. Escalation rates are primarily used for labor, material, equipment, and low-level radioactive waste burial costs. SCE's current estimates are based upon SCE's decommissioning cost methodology used for ratemaking purposes. Average escalation rates range from 2.1% to 7.5% (depending on the cost element) annually.

•Timing. Initial decommissioning activities at Unit 1 started in 1999 and at Units 2 and 3 in 2013. Cost estimates for San Onofre Units are currently based on completion of decommissioning activities by 2056. Cost estimates for Palo Verde are based on an assumption that decommissioning will commence promptly after the current NRC operating licenses expire. The Palo Verde 1, 2, and 3 operating licenses currently expire in 2045, 2046, and 2047, respectively.

•Spent Fuel Dry Storage Costs. Cost estimates, including the impact of escalations, are based on an assumption that the U.S. Department of Energy will begin to take spent fuel from the nuclear industry in 2034 and will remove the last spent fuel from the San Onofre and Palo Verde sites by 2054 and 2097, respectively.

•Changes in Decommissioning Technology, Regulation and Economics. The current cost studies assume the use of current technologies under current regulations and at current cost levels.

See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Decommissioning of San Onofre" for further discussion of the plans for decommissioning of San Onofre.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used. The ARO for decommissioning SCE's nuclear facilities was $2.0 billion as of December 31, 2025, based on the most recent decommissioning studies performed and the subsequent cost estimate updates. Changes in the estimated costs, execution strategy or timing of decommissioning, or in the assumptions and judgments by management underlying these estimates, could cause material revisions to the estimated total cost to decommission these facilities which could have a material effect on the recorded liability.

The following table illustrates the increase to the ARO liability if the cost escalation rate was adjusted while leaving all other assumptions constant:

(in millions)Increase to ARO atDecember 31, 2025
Uniform increase in escalation rate of 1 percentage point$582

Table of Contents

The increase in the ARO liability driven by an increase in the escalation rate would result in a decrease in the regulatory liability for recoveries in excess of ARO liabilities. As of December 31, 2025, the regulatory liability for recoveries in excess of ARO liabilities was $2.1 billion.

Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions

Nature of Estimate Required. Authoritative accounting guidance requires companies to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans as assets and liabilities in the balance sheet; the assets and/or liabilities are normally offset through other comprehensive income (loss). In accordance with authoritative guidance for rate-regulated enterprises, regulatory assets and liabilities are recorded instead of charges and credits to other comprehensive income (loss) for its postretirement benefit plans that are recoverable in utility rates. Edison International and SCE have a fiscal year-end measurement date for all of their postretirement plans.

Key Assumptions of Approach Used. Pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and the related effects on results of operations are calculated using actuarial models. Two critical assumptions, discount rate and expected return on assets, are important elements of plan expense, and the discount rate is important to liability measurement. Other assumptions, which require management judgment, include the rate of compensation increases, and rates of retirement, turnover and termination. Additionally, health care cost trend rates are critical assumptions for postretirement health care plans. These critical assumptions are evaluated periodically and updated to reflect actual experience, as appropriate.

As of December 31, 2025, Edison International's and SCE's pension plans had a $3.7 billion and $3.4 billion projected benefit obligation, respectively, and total 2025 expense for these plans was $30 million and $26 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the accumulated benefit obligation for Edison International's and SCE's PBOP plans were $749 million and $745 million, respectively, and there were $12 million and $11 million benefit for Edison International's and SCE's PBOP plans for 2025, respectively. The majority of annual contributions made to SCE's pension and PBOP plan are anticipated to be recovered through CPUC-approved regulatory mechanisms and are expected to be, at a minimum, equal to the related annual expense.

Pension expense is recorded for SCE based on the amount funded to the trusts, as calculated using an actuarial method required for ratemaking purposes, in which the impact of market volatility on plan assets is recognized in earnings on a more gradual basis. Any difference between pension expense calculated in accordance with ratemaking methods and pension expense calculated in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance for pension is accumulated as a regulatory asset or liability, and is expected, over time, to be recovered from or returned to customers. As of December 31, 2025, this cumulative difference amounted to $157 million, meaning that the ratemaking method has recognized less in expense than the accounting method since implementation of authoritative guidance for employers' accounting for pensions in 1987, which was offset by a regulatory liability for the current funding level of SCE's pension plan.

Edison International and SCE used the following critical assumptions to determine expense for pension and PBOP for 2025:

(in millions)Pension PlansPBOP Plans
Discount rate15.56%5.60%
Expected long-term return on plan assets26.75%4.72%
Assumed health care cost trend rates3*6.50%

*Not applicable to pension plans.

1The discount rate enables Edison International and SCE to state expected future cash flows at a present value on the measurement date. Edison International and SCE select its discount rate by performing a yield curve analysis. This analysis determines the equivalent discount rate on projected cash flows by matching the timing and amount of expected future benefit payments to the corresponding yields from the Willis Towers Watson RATE: Link 10th – 90th percentile yield curve model on the measurement date.

2To determine the expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, current and expected asset allocations are considered, as well as historical and expected returns on plan assets. A portion of PBOP trusts asset returns are subject to taxation, so the rate of return on plan assets above is determined on an after-tax basis. Actual time-weighted, annualized returns on the pension plan assets were 11.6%, 4.4%, and 7.7% for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2025, respectively. Actual time-

32

Table of Contents

weighted, annualized returns on the PBOP plan assets were 7.3%, 0.6%, and 4.7% over these same periods. Accounting principles provide that differences between expected and actual returns are recognized over the average future service of employees.

3The health care cost trend rate gradually declines to 5.00% for 2031 and beyond.

As of December 31, 2025, Edison International and SCE had unrecognized net pension gains of $173 million and $141 million, respectively, and unrecognized PBOP gains of $1.7 billion. The unrecognized pension and PBOP gains primarily consisted of the cumulative impact of the increased discount rates on the respective benefit obligations and the cumulative difference between the expected and actual rate of return on plan assets. Of these deferred gains, $158 million of SCE's pension gains and $1.7 billion of SCE's PBOP gains are recorded as regulatory liabilities, respectively, and are expected to be amortized to expense over the expected future service of the employees (subject to regulatory adjustment) or refunded to ratepayers at the termination or completion of the plan.

Edison International's and SCE's pension and PBOP plans are subject to limits established for federal tax deductibility. SCE funds its pension and PBOP plans in accordance with amounts allowed by the CPUC. Executive pension plans have no plan assets.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used. Changes in the estimated costs or timing of pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, or the assumptions and judgments used by management underlying these estimates, could have a material effect on the recorded expenses and liabilities.

The following table summarizes the increase or decrease to projected benefit obligation for pension and the accumulated benefit obligation for PBOP if the discount rate were changed while leaving all other assumptions constant:

Edison InternationalSCE
(in millions)Increase in discount rate by 1%Decrease in discount rate by 1%Increase in discount rate by 1%Decrease in discount rate by 1%
Change to projected benefit obligation for pension$(116)$138$(94)$111
Change to accumulated benefit obligation for PBOP(70)83(70)83

A one percentage point increase in the expected rate of return on pension plan assets would decrease Edison International's and SCE's current year expense by $36 million and $34 million, respectively, and a one percentage point increase in the expected rate of return on PBOP plan assets would decrease both Edison International's and SCE's current year expense by $24 million.

Contributions to the Wildfire Fund

Nature of Estimates Required. At December 31, 2025, Edison International and SCE have a $1.7 billion long-term asset and a $138 million current asset reflected as "Wildfire Fund contributions" in the consolidated balance sheets for the initial $2.4 billion contribution made during 2019 and the present value of annual contributions SCE committed to make to the Wildfire Fund, reduced by amortization. At December 31, 2025, a long-term liability of $274 million has been reflected in "Other deferred credits and other long-term liabilities" for the present value of unpaid contributions. Contributions were discounted to the present value using US treasury interest rates at the date SCE committed to participate in the Wildfire Fund.

Management concluded it would be most appropriate to account for the contributions to the Wildfire Fund similar to prepaid insurance, ratably allocating the expense to periods based on an estimated period of coverage.

Key Assumptions and Approach Used. The Wildfire Fund does not have a defined life and instead, will terminate when the fund administrator determines that the fund has been exhausted. Estimating the period of coverage of the fund requires significant judgment. Frequency of wildfire events and estimated costs associated with wildfire events caused by participating utilities are among the significant factors used to estimate the fund's period of coverage.

SCE reassess the period of coverage of the fund at least annually in the first quarter each year and when new or additional information becomes available. As of the date of this filing, after considering the current accrued losses for the Eaton Fire, SCE does not have new or additional information that would enable it to change its prior assessment that the Wildfire Fund would provide coverage for an estimated 20 years from the date SCE committed to participate in the Wildfire Fund. When updating its estimate, SCE includes all its fires for which losses can be reasonably estimated, and relies on publicly disclosed wildfire-related losses related to other participating utilities. As discussed in "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides," while SCE believes that it will incur material losses in connection with the Eaton Fire, it is currently unable to reasonably estimate a range of losses that may be incurred. The Wildfire Fund amortization period will be evaluated and adjusted as

new or additional information on contributions and wildfire events, including reasonably estimated losses related to the Eaton Fire, becomes available.

Edison International and SCE adjust the period of coverage on a prospective basis and amortize the Wildfire Fund contribution asset ratably over the remaining estimated life of the fund. An impairment will be recorded to the Wildfire Fund contribution asset, if the asset exceeds SCE's ability to benefit from the remaining coverage provided by the Wildfire Fund.

In 2025, management determined that the period of coverage for the Wildfire Fund, based on available historical data from wildfires caused by electrical utility equipment to estimate expected loss, the current accrued losses for the Eaton Fire, as well as based on the fact that it is currently unable to reasonably estimate the range of losses associated with the Eaton Fire, continues to be an estimated 20 years from the date SCE committed to participate in the Wildfire Fund.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used. Changes in the estimated life of the Wildfire Fund, including impairment of the fund, could have a material impact on the expense recognition.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The discussion related to the changes in financial condition for 2023 compared to 2022 is incorporated by reference to Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Edison International's and SCE's combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC in February 2024.

MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

Highlights of Operating Results

Edison International is the ultimate parent holding company of SCE and Edison Energy, LLC, doing business as Trio. SCE is an investor-owned public utility primarily engaged in the business of supplying and delivering electricity to an approximately 50,000 square mile area across Southern, Central and Coastal California. Trio is a global energy advisory firm providing integrated sustainability and energy solutions to commercial, industrial and institutional customers. Trio's business activities are currently not material to report as a separate business segment.

Edison International's earnings are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses core earnings (loss) internally for financial planning and for analysis of performance. Core earnings (loss) 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. Core earnings (loss) are a non-GAAP financial measure and may not be comparable to those of other companies. Core earnings (loss) are defined as earnings attributable to Edison International shareholders less non-core items. Non-core items include income or loss from discontinued operations and income or loss from significant discrete items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings, such as write downs, asset impairments and other income and expense related to changes in law, outcomes in tax, regulatory or legal proceedings, and exit activities, including sale of certain assets and other activities that are no longer continuing.

Beginning July 1, 2023, SCE implemented a customer-funded wildfire self-insurance program. With the commencement of this program, Edison International and SCE no longer consider claims-related losses for wildfires to be representative of ongoing earnings and treat such costs as non-core items.

1Charges of $4 million and $6 million related to claims from wildfires ignited prior to July 1, 2023 were included in core earnings in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Core earnings in periods before the third quarter of 2023 have not been recast to exclude these charges.

2SCE and Edison International Parent and Other non-core items are tax-effected at an estimated statutory rate of approximately 28%; customer revenues (claims) for EIS insurance contract are tax-effected at the federal statutory rate of 21%.

Edison International's 2024 earnings increased $87 million, driven by an increase in SCE's earnings of $145 million, offset by an increase in Edison International Parent and Other loss of $58 million. SCE's higher net income consisted of $97 million of higher core earnings and $48 million of lower non-core loss. Edison International Parent and Other's higher loss consisted of $22 million of higher core loss and $36 million of lower non-core earnings.

The increase in SCE's core earnings was primarily due to higher revenue authorized in Track 4 and an increase in the authorized rate of return resulting from the cost of capital adjustment mechanism, partially offset by higher interest expense.

The increase in Edison International Parent and Other's core loss was primarily due to higher interest expense.

Electricity Industry Trends

The electric power industry is undergoing urgent and fundamental changes to how energy infrastructure is planned and built, driven by: state government actions to reduce GHG emissions; new sources of demand, such as electric vehicles, data centers, and building electrification; and technological innovations that support clean energy adoption, such as distributed generation and energy storage. These factors, coupled with the increasing impacts of climate change, are altering the way in which electricity is generated and delivered. The impacts of climate change are apparent and accelerating. In 2024, the Earth experienced its hottest year on record. This spike in temperature is making extreme weather events commonplace. In California alone, climate-related disasters have cost the state tens of billions of dollars since 2018, with the 2025 wildfires being particularly devastating. Climate change is expected to have far-reaching effects on society, necessitating industry-wide solutions to enhance grid resilience and support a clean, reliable and affordable grid.

California is committed to reducing its GHG emissions, improving local air quality and supporting continued economic growth. The state codified into law goals to reduce GHG emissions by 40% from 1990 levels by 2030 and 85% from the same baseline by 2045, as well as to be carbon neutral by 2045. State and local air quality plans also call for substantial improvements including reducing smog-causing nitrogen oxides 90% below 2010 levels by 2032 in the most polluted areas of the state.

While these policy goals cannot be achieved by the electric sector alone, the electric grid is a critical enabler of the adoption of energy technologies that support California's GHG reduction objectives. California has set RPS targets which require California retail sellers of electricity to provide 60% of power from renewable resources by 2030. California also requires sellers of electricity to deliver 100% of retail sales from carbon-free sources by 2045, including interim targets of 90% by 2035 and 95% by 2040. In 2024, approximately 46% of SCE's customer deliveries came from carbon-free resources. SCE continues to make progress towards meeting its long-term RPS and carbon-free power goals and interim targets. In addition, Edison International is committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2045, in alignment with economy-wide climate actions planned by California. This commitment covers the power SCE delivers to customers and Edison International's enterprise-wide operations. To further support these goals, Edison International and SCE are investing in building a more resilient grid to reduce climate- and weather-related vulnerabilities. Since 2018, SCE has been

Table of Contents

adapting to climate change through system hardening to reduce wildfire risk. In its 2025 GRC, SCE proposed climate adaptation investments to address wildfire and physical risks that could occur by 2030.

Edison International believes that California's 2045 goals can be achieved most economically through emissions reductions enabled by clean electricity to serve 100% of retail sales, electrifying approximately 90% of light-duty vehicles, 90% of medium-duty vehicles, 54% of heavy-duty vehicles, 80% of buses and 95% of buildings. Additionally, reducing emissions to near zero in the electric sector hinges on developing clean firm resources to replace natural gas. Clean firm resources, such as next-generation geothermal, small modular reactors, natural gas with carbon capture and storage, and clean hydrogen, produce constant power through any weather conditions or season with little or no greenhouse gas emissions. By 2045, electricity demand is projected to increase by at least 80% as compared to 2022 per Edison International's analysis. In SCE’s service area, the increase in electricity demand is materializing sooner than expected. SCE’s most recent 10-year load growth forecast has increased by 35% compared to its 2022 distribution system plan. The key drivers of this increase are commercial developments, transportation electrification, and new residential housing. California has demonstrated strong long-term support of transportation electrification as shown by the approval of SCE's Charge Ready programs and 2022 legislation banning sales of new gas vehicles by 2035. However, Edison International believes that more state policy support, along with public and private investment, is needed to enable California to reach its 2030 and 2045 GHG reduction targets. Additional policy and regulatory support is also needed to de-risk the development of clean firm resources, adjust planning processes to enable proactive grid build-out, and streamline permitting processes. The current federal administration has declared a national emergency on energy, stressing the need for a reliable, diversified, and affordable supply of energy. The integrity and expansion of energy infrastructure is an immediate and pressing priority.

Edison International's vision is to lead the transformation of the electric power industry and the company is focused on opportunities in delivering clean energy, advancing electrification, building a modernized and more reliable grid, and enabling customers' technology choices. SCE's ongoing focus to drive operational and service excellence is intended to allow it to achieve these objectives safely while controlling costs and customer rates. SCE expects its bundled system average rate will rise at or below a 2.6% compound annual growth rate from 2024 through 2028, which is near the projected rate of local inflation. This projected rate growth incorporates the requested increases in SCE’s 2025 GRC, and also assumes a full recovery of costs associated with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events (See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides" for further information, including TKM Settlement). Partially offsetting these increases are historical costs rolling out of rates and rising electricity consumption. SCE projects that, even as electricity bills increase over time, total energy costs for the average SCE household will be reduced by approximately 40% by 2045 due to the efficiency of electrified technologies among other drivers.

SCE’s investments in the grid, utility owned storage capacity, and contracts for substantial new clean energy resources are key enablers of reliable economy-wide electrification. See "—Capital Program," "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Investment Plan," and "Business—SCE—Purchased Power and Fuel Supply—CAISO Wholesale Energy Market" for further details. SCE also continues to implement its transportation electrification programs. As of December 31, 2024, SCE had completed construction at 386 sites to support 6,520 charge ports under its suite of light-duty Charge Ready programs, and 99 sites to support the electrification of 2,251 medium and heavy-duty vehicles through its Charge Ready Transport program. Subject to regulatory approval, SCE plans to invest approximately $13 billion in infrastructure replacement between 2023 and 2028 to ensure the grid is reliable, resilient, and ready for widespread electrification. This represents approximately 30% of the capital plan for that same time period, as discussed in "—Capital Program."

Changes in the electric power industry are impacting customers and jurisdictions outside California as well. Many other states and countries are also pursuing climate change and GHG reduction objectives, and large commercial and industrial customers are continuing to pursue cost reduction and sustainability goals. Trio is a global energy advisory firm providing integrated sustainability and energy solutions to commercial, industrial and institutional customers who may be impacted by these changes.

To better engage in this broader transformation and provide a view of developments outside of SCE, Edison International has also made several investments in emerging companies in areas related to the technology and business model changes that are driving industry transformation and may make additional investments in the future. These investments are not financially material to Edison International.

2025 General Rate Case

SCE filed its 2025 GRC application with the CPUC in May 2023, for the four-year period of 2025 – 2028. In its application, SCE requested that the CPUC authorize a test year 2025 revenue requirement of approximately $10.3 billion. This represents a $1.9 billion, or 23%, increase over the approximately $8.4 billion 2024 revenue requirement adopted in Track 4, prior to adjustments for updated operations and maintenance escalation rates, the CPUC's decisions to adopt SCE's 2023 - 2025 cost of capital, and the expanded use of customer-funded self-insurance for wildfire-related claims.

Table of Contents

In February 2024, intervenors to the 2025 GRC proceeding, including Cal Advocates and The Utility Reform Network ("TURN"), submitted testimony in response to SCE's application. Cal Advocates and TURN recommended reductions to SCE's requests for load growth investments, infrastructure replacement, targeted undergrounding of conductors, and other areas of SCE's application.

Cal Advocates in its testimony proposed a test year 2025 revenue requirement of approximately $9.3 billion, representing an increase of approximately 11% over the 2024 revenue requirement adopted in Track 4, before the adjustments described above. While TURN did not calculate a test year 2025 revenue requirement in connection with its proposals in its testimony, SCE estimates that TURN's proposals would result in a test year 2025 revenue requirement of approximately 12% over the 2024 revenue requirement adopted in Track 4, before the adjustments described above.

In June 2024, following amendments and other revisions to rebuttal testimony, SCE updated its 2025 revenue requirement request to $10.5 billion, and proposed post-test year revenue requirement increases of approximately $670 million, $750 million and $730 million in 2026, 2027, and 2028, respectively. The updated 2025 revenue requirement included a $220 million increase associated with the cost of capital adjustment authorized by the CPUC in a separate proceeding, which was subsequently modified by a CPUC decision in October 2024, as discussed in "—Cost of Capital."

In July 2024, the CPUC issued a decision approving SCE's request in the 2025 GRC to extend the customer-funded wildfire self-insurance through the 2025 GRC period.

In October 2024, the CPUC approved the establishment of a memorandum account to track changes in the revenue requirement between January 1, 2025, and the implementation date of the final decision. While SCE and certain parties have entered into stipulations to resolve certain contested areas in the 2025 GRC, SCE cannot predict the revenue requirement the CPUC will ultimately authorize or forecast the timing of a final decision. SCE expects to recognize revenue based on the 2024 authorized revenue requirement, adjusted to reflect the 2025 CPUC-authorized ROE as discussed in "—Cost of Capital," until a GRC decision is issued.

Cost of Capital

The cost of capital adjustment mechanism set by the CPUC provides for an adjustment to SCE's authorized cost of capital that, when triggered, will impact SCE's results of operations and cash flows. In 2023, the cost of capital adjustment mechanism was triggered and resulted in an increase to SCE's CPUC-authorized ROE from 10.05% to 10.75% effective January 1, 2024. The resulting increase to SCE's 2024 GRC-related revenue requirement was $201 million. The cost of capital adjustment mechanism was not triggered in 2024. In October 2024, the CPUC issued a decision modifying the cost of capital adjustment mechanism that changed the mechanism's adjustment ratio from 50% to 20%. This modification was also applied to the increase that was most recently triggered in 2023, effective on January 1, 2025. As a result, SCE's 2025 CPUC-authorized ROE was adjusted to 10.33%. The decision reduces SCE's updated 2025 GRC-related revenue requirement by approximately $117 million. For further information, see "—2025 General Rate Case." For additional information on cost of capital and the ratemaking process, see "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process—CPUC."

SCE expects to file its regularly scheduled cost of capital application in March 2025 for rates effective for 2026 – 2028.

Capital Program

Capital Expenditures

Total capital expenditures (including accruals) were $5.7 billion in 2024 and $5.4 billion in 2023.

In connection with the 2025 GRC, SCE forecasts capital expenditures of $26.6 billion to $31.5 billion for 2025 – 2028. In the absence of a 2025 GRC decision, SCE has developed, and is executing against, a capital expenditure plan that is expected to allow SCE to meet what is ultimately authorized in the 2025 GRC decision while minimizing the associated risk of unauthorized spending.

The table below reflects forecast capital expenditures for 2025 – 2028 based on planned CPUC jurisdictional spending and current management expectations of FERC-jurisdictional spending. CPUC jurisdictional spending includes amounts requested in the 2025 GRC, and other approved non-GRC CPUC capital spending. The forecast CPUC jurisdictional capital spending will be dependent upon amounts approved in the 2025 GRC. Forecasted expenditures for FERC capital projects are subject to change due to factors such as timeliness of permitting, licensing, regulatory approvals, contractor bids, supply chain issues and other operational considerations.

Based on management's judgment of potential capital spending variability informed by historical precedent of previously authorized amounts, potential permitting delays, and other operational considerations, a range case was prepared reflecting reductions to GRC capital expenditures, CPUC non-GRC capital expenditures, and FERC capital expenditures.

In addition to the amounts presented in the table above, SCE expects to make additional CPUC capital investments, the recovery of which will be subject to future regulatory approval. This includes non-GRC programs including additional spending on an enterprise resource planning ("ERP") software implementation, an advanced metering infrastructure program and other potential investments in the grid supporting restoration, reliability, resilience and readiness. SCE expects the total expenditures of these programs to be at least $3 billion, some of which will be incurred beyond 2028. In the first half of 2025, SCE intends to file an application with the CPUC for approval of the ERP implementation and expects to include approximately $1 billion of capital expenditures through 2029.

In May 2023, the CAISO released its 2022 – 2023 Transmission Plan based on the CPUC's projections that more than 40 gigawatts of new resources need to be added in California by 2032. As the incumbent transmission owner for a portion of these transmission projects, SCE expects to construct projects requiring capital investment of at least $2.0 billion, most of which will be incurred beyond 2028. In May 2024, the CAISO released its 2023 – 2024 Transmission Plan which identified additional transmission projects expected to be constructed by SCE by 2030 with anticipated capital expenditures of approximately $80 million.

In addition to projects awarded to incumbent transmission owners, the CAISO also identified projects eligible for competitive solicitation. In May 2024, SCE, in association with Lotus Infrastructure Global Operations, LLC, was selected as the approved project sponsor for a 30-mile overhead transmission line project connecting San Diego and Orange Counties. The project is expected to be in-service in 2032 and SCE expects to place approximately $244 million into its transmission rate base in 2032.

Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides

Unprecedented weather conditions in California due to climate change have contributed to wildfires, including those where SCE's equipment has been alleged to be associated with the fire's ignition, that have caused loss of life and substantial damage in SCE's service area, including as recently as January 2025.

SCE continues to implement its WMP to reduce the risk of SCE equipment contributing to the ignition of wildfires. Further to the investments SCE is making as part of its WMP, SCE also uses its PSPS program to proactively de-energize power

lines as a last resort to mitigate the risk of significant wildfires during extreme weather events. In addition, California has increased its investment in wildfire prevention and fire suppression capabilities. Yet, the potential for catastrophic wildfire activity in SCE's service area still exists.

Eaton Fire

In January 2025, several wind-driven wildfires impacted portions of SCE's service area, causing loss of life, substantial damage and service outages for SCE customers. One of the largest of these wildfires, the Eaton Fire, ignited in SCE's service area in Los Angeles County and spread under conditions of an extreme Santa Ana windstorm.

According to preliminary information provided by CAL FIRE, the Eaton Fire burned approximately 14,000 acres; destroyed approximately 6,018 single residence structures, 3,146 other minor structures, 96 multiple residences and 158 mixed commercial/residential and nonresidential commercial structures; damaged approximately 750 residential structures, 260 other minor structures, 28 multiple residences and 35 mixed commercial/residential and nonresidential commercial structures and resulted in 17 confirmed civilian fatalities and 9 confirmed fire personnel injuries/illnesses. In addition, fire authorities have estimated suppression costs at approximately $100 million.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department is leading the investigation into the origin and cause of the Eaton Fire, with the assistance of CAL FIRE, and has identified a preliminary area of origin of the fire. SCE has transmission facilities in the preliminary area of origin. As part of its investigation, the Los Angeles County Fire Department has requested that SCE preserve in-place its equipment in the preliminary area of origin. The SED is also conducting an investigation with respect to the Eaton Fire.

Multiple lawsuits related to the Eaton Fire have been initiated against SCE and Edison International. SCE’s ongoing internal review into the facts and circumstances of the Eaton Fire is complex and will require significant time. SCE's review includes ongoing inspections of its facilities and records and of third-party information, including analysis of concerning images and videos that suggest a possible link to SCE's transmission facilities in the preliminary area of origin. As of February 27, 2025, based on the information it has reviewed, SCE has not determined whether its equipment was associated with the ignition of the Eaton Fire.

SCE has $1.0 billion of customer-funded self-insurance coverage available for wildfires ignited between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025, subject to a shareholder contribution of up to $12.5 million. If SCE incurs losses in excess of $1.0 billion for claims for third-party damages related to the Eaton Fire, SCE will be reimbursed for such losses from the Wildfire Insurance Fund, subject to approval of the fund administrator and the Wildfire Insurance Fund’s claims-paying capacity, initially approximately $21 billion for all three participating utilities. PG&E is seeking reimbursement from the Wildfire Insurance Fund for losses related to the 2021 Dixie Fire and has disclosed that, as of December 31, 2024, it had recorded aggregate recoveries from the Wildfire Insurance Fund of $925 million, of which it had received $169 million. Until the fund administrator determines that the fund will be terminated, it is expected to reimburse eligible claims on a first come, first served basis, subject to the fund administrator's review.

A utility that has received reimbursement of eligible claims from the Wildfire Insurance Fund would file an application with the CPUC for review of its costs and expenses after it has resolved all or, if authorized by the CPUC, substantially all third-party damage claims related to a wildfire, or upon earlier request of the fund administrator. A utility that held a valid safety certification at the time of the relevant wildfire, like SCE did at the time of the Eaton Fire, will be presumed to have acted prudently unless a party in the proceeding creates "serious doubt" as to the reasonableness of the utility's conduct, in which case the utility will have the burden of dispelling that doubt and proving its conduct was prudent. The prudency standard does not necessitate perfect conduct and AB 1054 requires that the CPUC find that a utility is prudent if it determines that the utility's conduct related to the relevant ignition was consistent with actions of a reasonable utility. SCE believes that the CPUC's determination regarding the reasonableness of a utility's ignition-related conduct should be based on an evaluation of the reasonableness of the utility’s overall policies, systems, and practices. The CPUC has not applied the AB 1054 prudency framework to a wildfire cost-recovery proceeding.

SCE believes that it is a reasonable operator of its electric system. Neither SCE nor any fire agency has determined the cause of the Eaton Fire, including whether SCE’s transmission equipment was associated with its ignition. If it is determined that SCE’s transmission equipment was associated with the ignition of the Eaton Fire, based on the information it has reviewed as of February 27, 2025, SCE believes that it would be able to make a good faith showing that its conduct with respect to its transmission facilities in the preliminary area of origin was consistent with the actions of a reasonable utility.

The CPUC will determine the prudency of a utility’s ignition-related conduct in a formal proceeding. If the CPUC finds that a utility’s conduct was not prudent, it may nevertheless allow cost recovery in full or in part taking into account factors both within and beyond the utility's control that may have exacerbated the costs and expenses, including humidity, temperature and winds. A utility that held a safety certification at the time of the ignition will be required to reimburse the

Table of Contents

fund only for amounts disallowed by the CPUC up to the AB 1054 Liability Cap in the year that the disallowance occurs, unless the fund administrator finds that the utility's actions or inactions relative to the ignition of the fire constitute conscious or willful disregard of the rights and safety of others, in which case the utility will be required to reimburse the fund for all amounts withdrawn. The AB 1054 Liability Cap is a cap on the aggregate requirement to reimburse the Wildfire Insurance Fund over a trailing three calendar year period and is equal to 20% of the equity portion of the utility's transmission and distribution rate base, excluding general plant and intangibles, in the year of the applicable prudency determination. Utilities will be able to seek recovery of prudently incurred uninsured wildfire costs not covered by the Wildfire Insurance Fund, assessed under the prudency standard clarified under AB 1054, through electric rates.

2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events

Multiple lawsuits and investigations related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events have been initiated against SCE and Edison International. SCE has previously entered into settlements with a number of local public entities, subrogation and individual plaintiffs in the TKM and Woolsey Fire litigations and under the SED Agreement. As of February 20, 2025, in addition to the outstanding claims of approximately 290 of the approximately 15,000 initial individual plaintiffs, there were alleged and potential claims of certain public entity plaintiffs, including CAL OES, outstanding.

In 2024, SCE recorded estimated losses of $490 million for remaining alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. As a result, SCE also recorded expected recoveries through FERC electric rates of $27 million against the charge, and the resulting net charge to earnings was $463 million ($333 million after-tax).

Through December 31, 2024, SCE has recorded estimated losses of $9.9 billion, recoveries from insurance of $2.0 billion, all of which have been collected, and expected recoveries through FERC electric rates of $440 million, $376 million of which has been collected subject to refund, related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events claims. The cumulative after-tax net charges to earnings recorded through December 31, 2024, have been $5.4 billion.

As of December 31, 2024, SCE had paid $9.5 billion under executed settlements and had $86 million to be paid under executed settlements, including $57 million to be paid under the SED Agreement, related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. After giving effect to all payment obligations under settlements entered into through December 31, 2024, Edison International's and SCE's best estimate of expected losses for remaining alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events was $340 million.

Estimated losses for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation are based on a number of assumptions and are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Actual losses incurred may be higher or lower than estimated based on several factors, including the uncertainty in estimating damages that have been or may be alleged. Edison International and SCE may incur a material loss in excess of amounts accrued in connection with the remaining alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events.

CPUC-Jurisdictional Rate Recovery

In August 2023, SCE filed an application to seek CPUC-jurisdictional rate recovery of prudently incurred losses related to the Thomas Fire, the Koenigstein Fire and the Montecito Mudslides. SCE also sought recovery of approximately $65 million in restoration costs in the proceeding. In January 2025, the CPUC approved the TKM Settlement Agreement and closed the proceeding. Parties to the proceeding may file an application for rehearing through March 10, 2025. Under the TKM Settlement Agreement, SCE is authorized to recover 60%, or approximately $1.6 billion, of approximately $2.7 billion of losses, consisting of approximately $1.3 billion of uninsured claims paid as of May 31, 2024, and $0.3 billion of associated costs, composed of legal and financing costs incurred as of May 31, 2024, and estimated ongoing financing costs. SCE is also authorized to recover 60% of claims paid and related costs incurred after May 31, 2024, other than for $125 million of uninsured claims and related financing costs which SCE waived its right to seek recovery of under the SED Agreement. SCE will record a regulatory asset for recoveries permitted under the TKM Settlement Agreement in the first quarter of 2025 and will request approval from the CPUC to finance the amounts authorized under the TKM Settlement Agreement through the issuance of securitized bonds.

Under the TKM Settlement Agreement, SCE is also authorized to recover approximately $55 million of approximately $65 million in restoration costs incurred. Further, SCE will use shareholder funds to offset $50 million of wildfire mitigation expenses recorded in memorandum accounts between 2024 and 2028. Under the TKM Settlement Agreement, SCE is allowed to permanently exclude from SCE's CPUC regulatory capital structure any after-tax charges to equity associated with the costs disallowed or funded by shareholders in the TKM Settlement Agreement and the debt issued to finance those costs (For further details about SCE's CPUC authorized capital structure, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—SCE Dividends"). In October 2024, SCE filed an application to seek CPUC-jurisdictional rate recovery of $5.4 billion of prudently incurred losses related to the Woolsey Fire, consisting of approximately $4.4 billion of uninsured claims paid as of August 31, 2024, and $1.0 billion of associated costs, composed of legal and financing costs incurred as of August 31, 2024, and estimated ongoing financing

costs. SCE is also seeking recovery of approximately $84 million in restoration costs in the proceeding. SCE will not record a regulatory asset for recoveries related to the Woolsey Fire in connection with the approval of the TKM Settlement Agreement. SCE will continue to evaluate the facts and circumstances of the Woolsey Fire cost recovery proceeding in determining if and when a regulatory asset may be recorded.

Other Wildfire Events

In addition to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, several other wildfires significantly impacted portions of SCE's service area prior to 2025, including the 2017 Creek Fire, the 2019 Saddle Ridge Fire, the 2020 Bobcat Fire, the 2020 Silverado Fire, the 2022 Coastal Fire and the 2022 Fairview Fire.

In 2024, SCE recorded estimated losses of $253 million for claims related to the Other Wildfire Events. As a result, SCE also recorded expected recoveries from insurance of $96 million and expected recoveries through electric rates of $9 million against the charge, and the resulting net charge to earnings was $148 million ($106 million after-tax).

Through December 31, 2024, SCE has recorded total estimated losses of $1.1 billion, expected recoveries from insurance and third parties of $718 million and expected recoveries through electric rates of $177 million related to the Other Wildfire Events claims. The cumulative after-tax net charges to earnings recorded through December 31, 2024, have been $175 million.

As of December 31, 2024, SCE had paid or is obligated to pay approximately $576 million under executed settlements related to the Other Wildfire Events and Edison International's and SCE's estimated losses for remaining alleged and potential claims (established at the low end of the estimated range of reasonably possible losses) related to the Other Wildfire Events was $563 million. As of the same date, SCE had assets for expected recoveries through insurance and third parties of $434 million and through electric rates of $149 million on its consolidated balance sheets related to the Other Wildfire Events.

Edison International and SCE may incur material losses in excess of the amounts accrued for certain of the Other Wildfire Events. Edison International and SCE expect that additional losses incurred in connection with any such fire, other than for the Creek Fire, will be covered by insurance, subject to self-insured retentions and co-insurance, and expect that any such additional losses after expected recoveries from insurance and through electric rates will not be material. For information on the Creek Fire, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides" in this report.

In light of the prudency standard the CPUC is required to apply under AB 1054 to utilities holding a safety certification at the time a wildfire ignited after July 12, 2019, SCE has concluded, at this time, that both uninsured CPUC-jurisdictional and uninsured FERC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs related to the Other Wildfire Events that ignited after July 2019 for which it has deferred as regulatory assets are probable of recovery through electric rates. SCE will continue to evaluate the probability of recovery based on available evidence, including regulatory decisions, including any CPUC decisions illustrating the interpretation and/or application of the prudency standard under AB 1054, and, for each applicable fire, evidence that could cast serious doubt as to the reasonableness of SCE's conduct relative to that fire.

For further information on Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides, see "Risk Factors," "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Initial and annual contributions to the wildfire insurance fund established pursuant to California Assembly Bill 1054," "Business—Southern California Wildfires" and "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SCE

The table below shows SCE's consolidated statements of income for 2024, 2023 and 2022. In general, expenses SCE is authorized to pass through directly to customers (such as purchased power and fuel expenses, flow-through taxes, as well as costs incurred for various programs and activities, such as public purpose programs and vegetation management activities) and the corresponding amount of revenues collected to recover those pass-through costs do not impact net income.

2024 vs 2023

Operating Revenue

Higher operating revenue of $1,272 million is primarily due to:

•An increase in CPUC-related revenues of $617 million primarily due to higher revenue authorized in Track 4 and an increase in the authorized rate of return resulting from the cost of capital adjustment mechanism. See "Management Overview—Cost of Capital" for more information.

•An increase in operating revenues of $51 million primarily due to recognition of previously unrecognized return on rate base related to emergency restoration related capital expenditures.

•A net increase in revenues of $604 million related to higher expenses that are passed through to customers. The increase in pass-through revenues is primarily offset by increases in the following:

◦Operation and maintenance expense of $809 million

◦Depreciation and amortization expense of $111 million

◦Interest expense of $66 million

◦Property and other taxes of $28 million

These pass-through increases were offset by the decreases in the following:

◦Purchased power and fuel expense of $277 million

◦Income tax expense of $134 million

Purchased Power and Fuel

A decrease in purchased power and fuel costs of $277 million, primarily due to lower purchased power and gas prices, partially offset by an increase in purchased power volume and higher losses in hedging activities (offset in "Operating Revenue" above).

Operation and Maintenance

12

Table of Contents

An increase in operation and maintenance expense of $993 million is primarily due to:

•A net increase in expense of $809 million related to operating expenses that are passed through to customers and offset in "Operating Revenue" above. The increase is mainly driven by:

◦$462 million due to higher previously deferred wildfire mitigation, vegetation management, and emergency restoration costs authorized for recovery in 2024 than in 2023. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Regulatory Proceedings" for more information

◦$301 million higher vegetation management expenses

◦$196 million higher public purpose program expenses

◦$144 million higher uncollectible accounts expense

◦$116 million higher transmission access charges

These increases are partially offset by:

◦$209 million previously deferred wildfire insurance premium authorized for recovery in 2023

◦$195 million lower insurance costs due to SCE's expanded use of customer-funded self-insurance since July 2023

•$90 million higher expenses primarily related to plant maintenance

•$62 million higher wildfire mitigation expenses

•Severance costs of $53 million recorded in 2024 due to current and probable reductions in workforce

•$25 million higher expenses related to IT software maintenance and capital-related expense

•The 2023 recognition of a $30 million disallowance related to the 2021 NDCTP

•The 2023 recognition of $17 million related to customer cancellations of certain ECS data services

Wildfire-related Claims, Net of Insurance Recoveries

Charges for wildfire-related claims, net of insurance recoveries, were $647 million and $665 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events and Other Wildfire Events. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."

Wildfire Insurance Fund Expense

A decrease in wildfire insurance fund amortization expense of $67 million due to the change in the estimated life of the Wildfire Insurance Fund in the beginning of 2024, which increased the amortization period of SCE's Wildfire Insurance Fund contributions assets. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further information.

Depreciation and Amortization

An increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $232 million due to an increase of $121 million primarily driven by higher plant balances and $111 million of pass-through costs (offset in "Operating Revenue" above). The pass-through costs are mainly related to emergency restoration and wildfire mitigation activities.

Property and Other Taxes

An increase in property and other taxes of $54 million due to an increase of $26 million primarily related to higher assessed property values and $28 million of pass-through costs (offset in "Operating Revenue" above).

Interest Expense

An increase in interest expense of $219 million due to an increase of $153 million primarily related to higher interest rates on long-term debt and balancing account overcollections, and additional long-term borrowings, and $66 million of pass-through costs mainly related to emergency restoration activities and AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures financed through securitization (offset in "Operating Revenue" above).

Table of Contents

Preference Stock Dividend Requirements

An increase in preference stock dividend requirements of $52 million primarily due to additional preference stock outstanding.

Income Taxes

A decrease in income tax expense of $64 million, primarily due to $97 million higher flow-through tax benefits that are passed through to customers, partially offset by an increase in tax expense on pre-tax income. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes" for a reconciliation of the federal statutory rate to the effective income tax rate.

2023 vs 2022

Operating Revenue

An increase in operating revenue of $897 million is primarily due to:

•A net decrease in revenues of $1,231 million related to lower expenses that are passed through to customers. The decrease in pass-through revenues are offset by decreases in the following:

◦Purchased power and fuel expense of $889 million

◦Operation and maintenance expense of $482 million

◦Wildfire-related claims, net of insurance recoveries of $37 million

These pass-through decreases are partially offset by increases in the following:

◦Income tax expense of $43 million

◦Interest expense of $39 million

◦Property and other taxes of $38 million

◦Other income, net, of $37 million

◦Depreciation and amortization expense of $17 million

•An increase in CPUC-related revenues of $320 million primarily due to the escalation mechanism set forth in the 2021 GRC decision.

Purchased Power and Fuel

A decrease in purchased power and fuel costs of $889 million, primarily lower prices and volumes for both purchased power and gas, partially offset by hedging activities (offset in "Operating Revenue" above).

Operation and Maintenance

A decrease in operation and maintenance expense of $588 million is primarily due to:

•A net decrease in expense of $482 million related to the operating expenses that are passed through to customers and offset in "Operating Revenue" above. The decrease is mainly driven by:

◦$463 million due to lower previously deferred wildfire mitigation and emergency restoration costs authorized for recovery in 2023 than in 2022

◦$218 million lower insurance costs due to SCE's expanded use of customer-funded self-insurance since July 2023

◦$79 million lower uncollectible accounts expense primarily due to the recognition of $109 million previously deferred uncollectible accounts expense in 2022

◦$56 million lower transmission access charges

The decreases are partially offset by:

◦$209 million previously deferred wildfire insurance premium authorized for recovery in 2023

◦$125 million higher public purpose program expenses

Wildfire-related Claims, Net of Insurance Recoveries

Charges for wildfire-related claims, net of insurance recoveries, were $665 million and $1.3 billion in 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events and Other Wildfire Events.

Depreciation and Amortization

An increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $74 million due to an increase of $57 million primarily driven by higher plant balances and $17 million of pass-through costs (offset in "Operating Revenue" above).

Property and Other Taxes

An increase in property and other taxes of $69 million due to an increase of $31 million primarily related to higher assessed property values and $38 million of pass-through costs (offset in "Operating Revenue" above).

Impairment, net of other operating income

Impairments were recorded in 2022, of which $17 million related to disallowed capital expenditure and $47 million related to a settlement agreement between SCE and TURN in the CSRP proceeding.

Interest Expense

An increase in interest expense of $351 million due to an increase of $312 million primarily related to higher interest rates on long-term debt and balancing account overcollections and additional long-term borrowings, and $39 million of pass-through costs primarily related to AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures financed through securitization (offset in "Operating Revenue" above).

Other income, net

An increase in other income, net of $160 million primarily due to higher interest rates applied to balancing account undercollections and increased equity allowance for funds used during construction, partially offset by lower net periodic benefit income related to the non-service cost components for SCE's pension and PBOP.

Preference Stock Dividend Requirements

An increase in preference stock dividend requirements of $16 million primarily due to dividends paid on Series E preference stock at a higher rate.

Income Taxes

An increase in tax expense of $293 million in 2023 compared to a tax benefit recorded in 2022, primarily due to higher taxable income and $42 million lower flow-through tax benefits that are passed through to customers.

The net loss attributable to common shareholders from operations of Edison International Parent and Other increased $42 million in 2023 compared to 2022 primarily due to higher interest expense, partially offset by gains on preferred stock repurchases of $16 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

SCE

SCE's ability to operate its business, fund capital expenditures, and implement its business strategy is dependent upon its operating cash flow and access to the bank and capital markets. SCE's overall cash flows fluctuate based on, among other things, its ability to recover its costs in a timely manner from its customers through regulated rates, changes in commodity prices and volumes, collateral requirements, interest obligations, dividend payments to and equity contributions from Edison International, obligations to preference shareholders, and the outcome of tax, regulatory and legal matters.

In the next 12 months, SCE expects to fund its cash requirements through operating cash flows, and capital market and bank financings. SCE also has availability under its credit facility to fund cash requirements. SCE expects to issue additional debt for general corporate purposes, and to securitize the recovery of 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events as permitted by the TKM Settlement Agreement subject to the filing and approval of a securitization financing order.

SCE issued securitized bonds in the amounts of $775 million and $533 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively, to finance the required AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures and related financing costs. For more information, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."

The following table summarizes SCE's current long-term issuer credit ratings and outlook from the major credit rating agencies, and SCE's credit rating outlook as of February 20, 2025:

Moody'sFitchS&P
Credit RatingBaa1BBBBBB
OutlookStableStableNegative

SCE's credit ratings may be affected if, among other things, regulators fail to successfully implement AB 1054 in a consistent and credit supportive manner, or the Wildfire Insurance Fund is materially depleted, or a persistent increase in the frequency of severe wildfires in California leads the credit rating agencies to believe the Wildfire Insurance Fund is at risk of a material depletion. Credit rating downgrades increase the cost and may impact the availability of short-term and long-term borrowings, including commercial paper, credit facilities, bond financings or other borrowings. In addition, some of SCE's power procurement contracts and environmental remediation obligations would require SCE to pay related liabilities or post additional collateral if SCE's credit rating were to fall below investment grade. For further details, see "—Margin and Collateral Deposits."

For restrictions on SCE's ability to pay dividends, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—SCE Dividends."

Available Liquidity

At December 31, 2024, SCE had cash on hand of $78 million and approximately $2.1 billion available to borrow on its $3.4 billion revolving credit facility. The credit facility is available for borrowing needs until May 2028. The aggregate maximum principal amount under the SCE revolving credit facility may be increased up to $4.0 billion, provided that additional lender commitments are obtained. SCE also had standby letters of credit with total capacity of $625 million, and the unused amount was $507 million as of December 31, 2024. For further details, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."

At December 31, 2024, SCE had $1.3 billion outstanding commercial paper, net of discount, at a weighted average interest rate of 4.95% supported by the revolving credit facility. In January 2025, SCE issued $850 million and $650 million of first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2035 and 2055, respectively. The proceeds were used to repay commercial paper borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and for general corporate purposes.

SCE may finance balancing account undercollections and working capital requirements to support operations and capital expenditures with commercial paper, its credit facilities or other borrowings, subject to availability in the capital markets. As necessary, SCE will utilize its available liquidity, capital market financings, other borrowings or parent company equity

contributions in order to meet its obligations as they become due, including costs related to wildfire events. For further information, see "Management Overview—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."

Debt Covenant

SCE's credit facilities and term loan require a debt to total capitalization ratio as defined in the applicable agreements of less than or equal to 0.65 to 1. At December 31, 2024, SCE's debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.58 to 1.

At December 31, 2024, SCE was in compliance with all financial covenants that affect access to capital.

Regulatory Proceedings

Wildfire Related Regulatory Proceedings

In response to the increase in wildfire activity and faster progression of and increase in damage from wildfires across SCE's service area and throughout California, SCE has incurred wildfire mitigation and wildfire and drought restoration related spending at levels significantly exceeding amounts authorized in SCE's GRCs. For regulatory proceedings related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, see "Management Overview—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."

2021 GRC Wildfire Mitigation Memorandum Account Balances

In June 2022, SCE filed an application with the CPUC requesting reasonableness review of the incremental costs incurred in 2021 related to non-WCCP wildfire mitigation and vegetation management activities, requesting a total revenue requirement of approximately $327 million plus an ongoing capital-related revenue requirement. In March 2024, the CPUC issued a decision fully authorizing SCE's requested revenue requirement. The revenue requirement is being recovered in rates over 12 months starting June 1, 2024.

In October 2023, SCE requested authority to recover a revenue requirement of $384 million, including interest associated with 2022 operations and maintenance and capital expenditures above levels authorized in wildfire mitigation accounts and the vegetation management balancing account. In July 2024, the CPUC approved SCE's request for interim rate recovery of $210 million of this revenue requirement, subject to refund. The revenue requirement for interim rate recovery is being recovered in rates over 17 months starting October 1, 2024. A final decision for the total authorized revenue requirement is expected in the second quarter of 2025 according to the CPUC adopted schedule.

2020 Emergency Wildfire Restoration

SCE filed a catastrophic event memorandum account application in 2022, primarily related to restoration efforts related to multiple 2020 wildfires. In May 2024, the CPUC issued a decision approving the recovery of SCE's capital request of $312 million and operation and maintenance expenses of $200 million, resulting in a revenue requirement of $191 million plus its ongoing capital-related revenue requirement. The revenue requirement is being recovered in rates over a 12-month period starting October 1, 2024.

Multi-year Wildfire Mitigation and Catastrophic Events Filing ("WMCE Filing")

In April 2024, SCE filed its WMCE Filing, seeking to recover incremental operating and maintenance expenses of $320 million and incremental capital expenditures of $702 million, primarily associated with 2019 – 2023 WCCP capital expenditures recorded in the wildfire risk mitigation balancing account, 2023 operations and maintenance and capital expenditures incremental to amounts authorized in wildfire mitigation accounts and the vegetation management balancing account, storm-related costs associated with certain 2020 – 2022 events recorded in the catastrophic event memorandum account, and certain wildfire liability insurance premium expenses recorded in the wildfire expense memorandum account, which were denied without prejudice in a previous decision. In July 2024, the CPUC adopted a schedule with a proposed decision expected in the third quarter of 2025.

ERRA Trigger Application

SCE recovers its fuel and purchased power-related costs through various balancing accounts, primarily the ERRA and the PABA. SCE sets rates based on an annual forecast of the costs that it expects to incur during the subsequent year. The aggregate overcollection in the ERRA and the eligible portion of the PABA at April 30, 2024 resulted in SCE triggering an established mechanism, which required SCE to file an expedited application for the CPUC's approval to reduce bundled service generation rates (see "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process" for further information about the trigger

17

Table of Contents

mechanism). The CPUC approved this application in August 2024, resulting in a $742 million reduction in the revenue requirement, returned through rates over a 12-month period starting October 1, 2024.

2025 FERC Formula Rate Annual Update

In November 2024, SCE filed its 2025 annual transmission revenue requirement update with the FERC, with rates effective January 1, 2025. The update reflects a 2025 transmission revenue requirement of $1.3 billion, which is a $220 million, or 20% increase from the 2024 annual rates. The increase is primarily due to 2024 rates including a return of prior year overcollections.

Capital Investment Plan

Major Transmission Projects

A summary of SCE's most significant transmission and substation construction projects is presented below. The timing of the projects below is subject to timely receipt of permitting, licensing, and regulatory approvals.

1Direct expenditures include direct labor, land, and contract costs incurred for the respective projects and exclude overhead costs that are included in the capital expenditures forecast discussed in "Management Overview—Capital Program."

2Direct expenditures were adjusted for inflation with no change to the scope of the project.

3In June 2023, SCE filed an amended application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity ("CPCN") with technical design modifications and engineering refinements to the proposed project that decreases project costs and reduces GHG emissions. Accordingly, the direct expenditures of the project are estimated to be reduced from $486 million to $472 million. SCE is unable to predict the final project costs for the Alberhill System Project.

Riverside Transmission Reliability Project

The Riverside Transmission Reliability Project is a joint project between SCE and Riverside Public Utilities ("RPU"), the municipal utility department of the City of Riverside. While RPU will be responsible for constructing some of the project's facilities within Riverside, SCE's portion of the project consists of constructing upgrades to its system, including a new 230 kV substation; certain interconnection and telecommunication facilities and overhead transmission lines in the cities of Riverside, Jurupa Valley and Norco and in portions of unincorporated Riverside County. In May 2022, the Riverside City Council ("RCC") voted to investigate alternatives to the CPUC approved project. Consequently, SCE suspended all major activities on the project. In January 2023, the RCC voted to establish a working group to pursue funding for additional undergrounding. In October 2023, the City of Norco filed a petition for modification ("PFM") to modify the CPUC decision approving the project and reopen the record to reconsider full undergrounding. In November 2023, SCE filed a response opposing the PFM. In March 2024, the CPUC denied the PFM. In May 2024, the RCC voted to move forward with the original scope of the project and SCE restarted its work on the project. In July 2024, SCE initiated construction bid solicitations with awards expected in the first half of 2025.

Alberhill System Project

The Alberhill System Project consists of constructing a new 500 kV substation, two 500 kV transmission lines to connect the proposed substation to the existing Serrano-Valley 500 kV transmission line, telecommunication equipment, and subtransmission lines in western Riverside County. The project was designed to meet long-term forecasted electrical demand in the proposed Alberhill System Project area and to increase electrical system reliability and resiliency. In April 2018 and July 2018, the CPUC issued a proposed decision and an alternate proposed decision, both denying SCE's ability to construct the Alberhill System Project based on a perceived lack of need. SCE filed comments on both proposed decisions requesting that the CPUC grant the CPCN for the Alberhill System Project. In August 2018, the CPUC issued a decision that did not deny or approve the Alberhill System Project but directed SCE to submit supplemental information on the Alberhill System Project, including, but not limited to, a load forecast and cost benefit analysis of several alternatives to the proposed project. In January 2020, SCE submitted a supplemental analysis to the CPUC for the Alberhill System Project including several alternatives to the proposed project as well as an update to the original project cost. In June 2023, SCE filed an amended CPCN with technical design modifications and engineering refinements to the proposed project that decrease project costs and reduce GHG emissions. In June 2024, the CPUC issued an addendum to its 2017 Final

18

Table of Contents

Environmental Impact Report, concluding its California Environmental Quality Act review. The project is now seeking final CPUC approval to begin construction. SCE is expecting the final CPUC decision in the second half of 2025.

Approximately 48% of the Alberhill System Project costs spent to date would be subject to recovery through CPUC revenue and 52% through FERC revenue. In October 2017, SCE obtained approval from the FERC for abandoned plant treatment for the Alberhill System Project, which allows SCE to seek recovery of 100% of all prudently incurred costs after the approval date and 50% of prudently incurred costs prior to the approval date. As of December 31, 2024, SCE had incurred approximately $69 million of capital expenditures, which excludes land costs that may be recovered through sale to a third party and includes overhead costs, of which approximately $48 million may not be recoverable if the project is cancelled.

Eldorado-Lugo-Mohave Upgrade Project

The Eldorado-Lugo-Mohave Upgrade Project will increase capacity on existing transmission lines to allow additional renewable energy to flow from Nevada to southern California. The project would modify SCE's existing Eldorado, Lugo, and Mohave electrical substations to accommodate the increased power flows from Nevada to southern California; increase the power flow through the existing 500 kV transmission lines by constructing two new capacitors along the lines; raise transmission tower heights to meet ground clearance requirements; and install fiber optics on the transmission lines to provide communications between existing SCE substations. In August 2020, the CPUC approved the CPCN for the project.

Construction for the project began in November 2020. The total costs for the Eldorado-Lugo-Mohave Upgrade Project are expected to exceed amounts currently approved in the CPCN granted by the CPUC due to delays in regulatory approvals, contractor performance issues, supply chain constraints, COVID-19 impacts, and the availability of CAISO outage windows. In May 2023, SCE filed a PFM of the decision that approved the project to increase the maximum reasonable and prudent cost for the project, which increased the direct expenditures from $247 million to $319 million. SCE expects the project to be in service in 2025, subject to the completion of environmental agency review of the mitigation work. Additional work after the in-service date is required to mitigate the impact of the project on nearby natural gas transmission lines. SCE's current estimate of the additional work is $64 million. SCE anticipates filing a second PFM or amending the existing PFM to address the additional costs of the mitigation work once the scope and cost of this work is finalized.

Utility Owned Storage Projects

In October 2021, SCE contracted with Ameresco, Inc. ("Ameresco") for the construction of utility owned energy storage projects at three sites in SCE's service area with an aggregate capacity of 537.5 MW, consisting of a 225 MW project, a 200 MW project, and a 112.5 MW project, and an in-service date of August 1, 2022. The 200 MW and 112.5 MW projects went in-service during the third quarter of 2024, and Ameresco has advised SCE that it currently expects the 225 MW project to be in-service by the first quarter of 2025. SCE believes that there is risk of delay beyond Ameresco's projected in-service date.

In April 2022, SCE received a force majeure event notice from Ameresco in which Ameresco asserted that both manufacturing delays related to COVID-19 shut-downs in China and new shipping restrictions imposed by Chinese governmental authorities were then impacting the supply of batteries from China necessary for timely completion of the projects. Ameresco subsequently supplemented its force majeure notice noting additional supply chain issues related to COVID-19. Permitting delays and engineering issues and certain changes requested by SCE also impacted the projects in 2022. In January 2023, SCE received a force majeure event notice from Ameresco in which Ameresco asserted that severe winter storms in Southern California had impacted the timely completion of the projects.

In April 2023, Ameresco discovered damage to some of the equipment at the 225 MW project. Ameresco has sent SCE a notice of potential force majeure event and has concluded that the damage was caused by soil heave and that the soil heave was caused by extreme rainstorms at the project site in the winter of 2022 – 2023. Ameresco is performing corrective action in response to the damage discovered in 2023.

SCE is continuing to evaluate the force majeure event notices and is awaiting additional information from Ameresco on the underlying events. If there is a valid force majeure event under the contracts with Ameresco, subject to certain conditions, the project schedules and any related triggers of liquidated damages may be extended, and the contract prices may be increased to account for the impact of the force majeure event.

SCE currently expects these storage projects to result in $1.0 billion of capital expenditures of which approximately $800 million has been incurred, as of December 31, 2024. SCE also expects to receive in aggregate approximately $380 million of tax credits available under the IRA for all three projects, which will accrue to the benefit of its customers (see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes" for further information). Because Ameresco did not achieve an in-service date of August 1, 2022, SCE is entitled to liquidated damages under the terms of the contracts subject to any relief Ameresco may be entitled to under the contracts, including any relief for any valid force majeure

19

Table of Contents

events. Once triggered, delay-related liquidated damages accrue daily for up to 60 days up to a maximum of $89 million in aggregate for all three projects.

Ameresco has obtained surety bonds to secure its obligations to complete the construction of the projects, and is also required to obtain surety bonds or letters of credit after completion of the projects to secure its performance obligations, including its warranty obligations. If Ameresco is unable to fulfill its obligations and the amounts available under any surety bonds or letters of credit are insufficient or the issuer of any such surety bonds or letters of credit disputes coverage or otherwise does not perform or pay for the performance of Ameresco’s obligations, SCE will incur additional costs beyond its contractual obligations.

In December 2021, the CPUC approved recovery of the capital expenditures and establishment of a balancing account for the associated revenue requirement, which have been reflected in rates beginning in the first quarter of 2022. Authorized revenue requirements have been and will continue to be included in the annual ERRA review proceeding and can only be disallowed upon a finding that SCE failed to prudently administer the contracts.

Decommissioning of San Onofre

The decommissioning of a nuclear plant requires the management of three related activities: radiological decommissioning, non-radiological decommissioning, and the management of spent nuclear fuel. SCE is the operating agent of San Onofre and has engaged the DGC to undertake a significant scope of decommissioning activities for Units 1, 2, and 3 at San Onofre. The decommissioning of San Onofre is expected to take many years. SCE funds decommissioning costs, including costs associated with storing spent nuclear fuel, with assets that are currently held in nuclear decommissioning trusts.

Under federal law, the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") is responsible for the selection and construction of a facility for the permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. The DOE has not met its contractual obligation to accept spent nuclear fuel. Extended delays by the DOE have led to the construction of costly alternatives and associated siting and environmental issues. Two Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations ("ISFSI") store nuclear fuel onsite at San Onofre. The first stores nuclear fuel from all three Units ("ISFSI 1") and the second stores nuclear fuel from Units 2 and 3 ("ISFSI 2").

SCE's Coastal Development Permits, the principal discretionary permits required for maintaining the ISFSIs onsite, currently extend through 2035.

Decommissioning of San Onofre Unit 1 began in 1999 and the transfer of spent nuclear fuel from Unit 1 to dry cask storage in ISFSI 1 was completed in 2005. Major decommissioning work for Unit 1 has been completed except for certain underground work.

Decommissioning of San Onofre Units 2 and 3 began in June 2013 and the transfer of spent nuclear fuel from San Onofre Units 2 and 3 to dry cask storage in the two ISFSIs was completed in August 2020. In August 2020, SCE commenced, and is currently conducting, major decommissioning activities in accordance with the terms of the Coastal Developmental Permit for decommissioning San Onofre Units 2 and 3.

SCE's share of the San Onofre Units 2 and 3 decommissioning costs recorded for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $218 million (in 2024 dollars) and $226 million (in 2023 dollars), respectively. The CPUC conducts a reasonableness review of recorded decommissioning costs in NDCTPs, which are submitted every three years.

SCE filed the 2021 NDCTP with the CPUC in February 2022 to request reasonableness review of approximately $570 million (SCE share in 2022 dollars) of recorded San Onofre Units 2 and 3 decommissioning costs incurred during the period 2018 to 2020, and subsequently agreed to a $30 million disallowance under a settlement with the relevant intervenors. In the third quarter of 2024, the CPUC approved the 2021 NDCTP, as modified by the settlement agreement, and SCE made a contribution accordingly to the non-qualified nuclear decommissioning trust to effectuate the disallowance.

SCE filed its 2024 NDCTP in December 2024. In the 2024 NDCTP, SCE requests reasonableness review of approximately $538 million (SCE share in 2024 dollars) of recorded San Onofre Units 2 and 3 decommissioning costs incurred during the period 2021 to 2023. SCE also requests approval of an updated decommissioning cost estimate for decommissioning activities to be completed at San Onofre Units 2 and 3 of $3.0 billion, of which $2.3 billion is SCE's share (in 2024 dollars). The decommissioning cost estimate includes costs through the expected decommissioning completion date, currently estimated to be in 2056.

Decommissioning cost estimates are subject to a number of uncertainties including the cost and timing of nuclear waste disposal, the time it will take to obtain required permits, cost of removal of property, site remediation costs, as well as a number of other assumptions and estimates, including when the federal government will provide for either interim or permanent off-site storage of spent nuclear fuel enabling the removal and transport of spent fuel canisters from the San

20

Table of Contents

Onofre site, as to which there can be no assurance. Cost estimates are subject to change as decommissioning proceeds and such changes may be material.

SCE had nuclear decommissioning trust funds for San Onofre Units 2 and 3 of $2.1 billion at December 31, 2024 and $2.2 billion at December 31, 2023. Based upon the resolution of a number of uncertainties, including the uncertainties of decommissioning discussed above, the financial performance of the nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments, as well as the resolution of a number of other assumptions and estimates, additional contributions to the nuclear decommissioning trust's funds may be required. If additional contributions to the nuclear decommissioning trust funds become necessary, SCE will seek recovery of additional contributions to the decommissioning trust through electric rates and any such recovery will be subject to a reasonableness review by the CPUC. Cost increases resulting from contractual disputes, delays in performance by the contractor, elevated levels of inflation, or permitting delays, among other things, could cause SCE to materially overrun the decommissioning cost estimate and could materially impact the sufficiency of trust funds.

In December 2024, the CPUC approved disbursements from SCE's nuclear decommissioning trusts to cover forecasted 2025 decommissioning costs for San Onofre Units 2 and 3, of which SCE's share is approximately $245 million in 2025 dollars.

Margin and Collateral Deposits

Certain derivative instruments, power and energy procurement contracts, and other contractual arrangements contain collateral requirements. In addition, certain environmental remediation obligations require financial assurance that may be in the form of collateral postings. Future collateral requirements may differ from the requirements at December 31, 2024 due to the addition of incremental power and energy procurement contracts with collateral requirements, if any, the impact of changes in wholesale power and natural gas prices on SCE's contractual obligations, and the impact of SCE's credit ratings falling below investment grade.

The table below provides the amount of collateral posted by SCE to its counterparties as well as the potential collateral that would have been required as of December 31, 2024, if SCE's credit rating had been downgraded to below investment grade as of that date. The table below also provides the potential collateral that could be required due to adverse changes in wholesale power and natural gas prices over the remaining lives of existing power and fuel derivative contracts.

In addition to amounts shown in the table, power and fuel contract counterparties may also institute new collateral requirements, applicable to future transactions to allow SCE to continue trading in power and fuel contracts at the time of a downgrade or upon significant increases in market prices. Furthermore, SCE may also be required to post up to $50 million in collateral in connection with its environmental remediation obligations, within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year in which a downgrade below investment grade occurs.

Edison International Parent and Other

In the next 12 months, Edison International Parent expects to fund its net cash requirements through cash on hand, dividends from SCE, and capital market and bank financings. Edison International Parent may finance its ongoing cash requirements, including dividends, working capital requirements, payment of obligations, and capital investments, including capital contributions to subsidiaries, with short-term or other financings, subject to availability in the bank and capital markets.

21

Table of Contents

At December 31, 2024, Edison International Parent had cash on hand of $115 million and $1.1 billion available to borrow on its $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. The credit facility is available for borrowing needs until May 2028. The aggregate maximum principal amount under the Edison International Parent revolving credit facility may be increased up to $2.0 billion, provided that additional lender commitments are obtained. For further details, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."

At December 31, 2024, Edison International Parent had $444 million outstanding commercial paper, net of discount, at a weighted-average interest rate of 4.86% supported by the revolving credit facility.

Edison International Parent has $800 million of debt maturities arising in the next 12 months. Edison International expects to issue debt to refinance these maturities.

On February 27, 2025, Edison International declared a dividend of $0.8275 per share to be paid on April 30, 2025. Edison International Parent and Other's liquidity and its ability to pay operating expenses and pay dividends to common shareholders are dependent on access to the bank and capital markets, dividends from SCE, realization of tax benefits and its ability to meet California law requirements for the declaration of dividends. Prior to declaring dividends, the Edison International Board of Directors evaluates available information, including when applicable, information pertaining to wildfire events, to ensure that the California law requirements for the declarations are met. For information on the California law requirements on the declaration of dividends, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—SCE Dividends." Edison International intends to maintain its target payout ratio of 45% – 55% of SCE's core earnings, subject to the factors identified above.

Edison International's ability to declare and pay common dividends may be restricted under the terms of its Series A and Series B Preferred Stock. For further information see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14. Equity."

Edison International Parent's credit facility requires a consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio as defined in the applicable agreements of less than or equal to 0.70 to 1. At December 31, 2024, Edison International's consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.65 to 1.

At December 31, 2024, Edison International Parent was in compliance with all financial covenants that affect access to capital.

The following table summarizes Edison International Parent's current long-term issuer credit ratings and outlook from the major credit rating agencies, and Edison International Parent's credit rating outlook as of February 20, 2025:

Moody'sFitchS&P
Credit RatingBaa2BBBBBB
OutlookStableStableNegative

Edison International Parent's credit ratings may be affected if, among other things, regulators fail to successfully implement AB 1054 in a consistent and credit supportive manner, or the Wildfire Insurance Fund is materially depleted, or a persistent increase in the frequency of severe wildfires in California leads the credit rating agencies to believe the Wildfire Insurance Fund is at risk of a material depletion. Credit rating downgrades increase the cost and may impact the availability of short-term and long-term borrowings, including commercial paper, credit facilities, note financings or other borrowings.

Edison International Income Taxes

Net Operating Loss and Tax Credit Carryforwards

Edison International has approximately $3.6 billion of tax effected net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards at December 31, 2024 (after excluding $107 million of Capistrano Wind attributes and offsetting $397 million of unrecognized tax benefits), which are available to offset future consolidated tax liabilities.

See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes" for further information regarding taxes payable to Capistrano Wind.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

The IRA imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax ("CAMT") on adjusted financial statement income ("AFSI") of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1.0 billion over a specified 3-year period. The CAMT was effective beginning January 1, 2023. Based on the current interpretation of the law and historical financial data, Edison International estimates that it will exceed the $1.0 billion threshold and be subject to CAMT on its consolidated federal tax returns beginning in 2026. SCE expects to be subject to CAMT on its stand-alone Federal return beginning in 2026.

22

Table of Contents

The law also includes significant extensions, expansions, and enhancements of numerous energy-related investment tax credits, as well as creating new credits applicable to electricity production which may apply to SCE's capital expenditures. Under the IRA, as of December 31, 2024, SCE generated investment tax credits of approximately $231 million related to two utility owned storage projects, which will be recognized and returned to customers, as the credits are utilized.

1Non-cash items include depreciation and amortization, allowance for equity during construction, impairment and other income, Wildfire Insurance Fund amortization expense, deferred income taxes, and other.

2Changes in working capital items include receivables, accrued unbilled revenue, inventory, amortization of prepaid expenses, accounts payable, tax receivables and payables, derivative assets and liabilities, and other current assets and liabilities.

3The amount in 2024 represents payments of $779 million for 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events and $361 million for Other Wildfire Events, partially offset by an increase in wildfire estimated losses of $743 million. The amount in 2023 represents payments of $1.0 billion for 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events and $190 million for Other Wildfire Events, partially offset by an increase in wildfire estimated losses of $814 million.

4Includes nuclear decommissioning trusts. See “Nuclear Decommissioning Activities” below for further information. The amount in 2024 also includes cash received from customers to fund certain construction projects and cash received for a state incentive program to pass on to customers. The amount in 2023 also includes outflow from the increases in wildfire insurance receivables.

Net cash provided by operating activities was impacted by the following:

Net income and non-cash items increased in 2024 by $231 million primarily due to higher revenue authorized in Track 4 and an increase in the authorized rate of return resulting from the cost of capital adjustment mechanism, partially offset by higher interest expense.

The net outflows in cash resulting from working capital were $221 million and $762 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. Net cash outflows for both 2024 and 2023 were primarily due to increases in unbilled revenue and power procurement related receivables. The higher outflow in 2023 was also due to payments of power purchase contracts that had high gas prices from December 2022, as well as an increase in customer receivables due to various customer protection programs in place.

23

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by regulatory assets and liabilities, including changes in net over or undercollections recorded in balancing accounts, was $1,219 million and $576 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. SCE has a number of balancing and memorandum accounts, which impact cash flows based on differences between timing of collection through rates and incurring expenditures. Cash inflows in 2024 and 2023 were both due to recovery of prior year undercollections. The higher inflow in 2024 compared to 2023 was driven by higher prior year undercollections implemented into rates in 2024, higher sales volume due to hotter weather in 2024, and higher overcollection from funds collected for customer-funded wildfire self-insurance in 2024.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities are primarily due to capital expenditures and funding of nuclear decommissioning trusts. Cash used in capital expenditures were $5.7 billion, $5.4 billion, and $5.8 billion for 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, primarily related to transmission, distribution and generation investments. SCE had a net redemption of nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $121 million, $180 million, and $123 million in 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. See "Nuclear Decommissioning Activities" below for further discussion.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in operating activities relates to interest and dividends less administrative expenses, taxes and SCE's decommissioning costs. Investing activities represent the purchase and sale of investments within the nuclear decommissioning trusts, including the reinvestment of earnings from nuclear decommissioning trust investments.

Funds for decommissioning costs are requested from the nuclear decommissioning trusts one month in advance. Decommissioning disbursements are funded from sales of investments of the nuclear decommissioning trusts. The net cash impact reflects timing of decommissioning payments ($222 million, $229 million, and 189 million in 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively) and reimbursements to SCE from the nuclear decommissioning trust ($214 million, $222 million, and $201 million in 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively). The net cash outflow in 2024 also primarily includes $19 million of tax benefits received and a $30 million disallowance under the 2021 NDCTP (For further details, see "—Decommissioning of San Onofre), both contributed by SCE to the decommissioning trust.

Contractual Obligations and Contingencies

Contractual Obligations

SCE and Edison International Parent and Other have various contractual obligations, which are recorded as liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Other items, such as certain purchase commitments and other executory contracts, are not recognized as liabilities in the consolidated financial statements but are required to be disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

For details on long-term debt, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."

Certain power purchase agreements which SCE entered into with independent power producers are treated as operating or finance leases. In addition, SCE has other operating lease obligations primarily related to vehicles, office space and other equipment. For further discussion, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies" and "—Note 13. Leases."

SCE also has other purchase obligations primarily related to maintaining reliability and expanding SCE's transmission and distribution system and nuclear fuel supply contracts. For further discussion, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies."

Edison International Parent and Other and SCE have estimated contributions to the pension and PBOP plans. These amounts represent estimates that are based on assumptions that are subject to change. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 9. Compensation and Benefit Plans" for further information.

Edison International and SCE have a total net liability recorded for uncertain tax positions. Edison International and SCE cannot make reliable estimates of the cash flows by period due to uncertainty surrounding the timing of resolving these open tax issues with the tax authorities. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes" for further information.

For details on derivative obligations and asset retirement obligations, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 6. Derivative Instruments" and "—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," respectively.

Contingencies

Edison International's and SCE's material contingencies are discussed in "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies."

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

SCE has variable interests in power purchase contracts with variable interest entities. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 3. Variable Interest Entities."

MARKET RISK EXPOSURES

Edison International's and SCE's primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates, commodity prices and volumes, and counterparty credit. Derivative instruments are used to manage market risks including market risks to SCE's customers. For further discussion of market risk exposures, including commodity price risk, credit risk and interest rate risk, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 6. Derivative Instruments" and "—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements."

Interest Rate Risk

Edison International and SCE are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of financing, investing and borrowing activities used for liquidity purposes, and to fund business operations and capital investments. The nature and amount of Edison International's and SCE's long-term and short-term debt can be expected to vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. Fluctuations in interest rates can affect earnings and cash flows. Changes in interest rates may impact SCE's authorized rate of return for the period beyond 2025 through a CPUC cost of capital proceeding, see "Management Overview—Cost of Capital" and "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking

December 31, 202328,49426,71225,59327,930

Commodity Price Risk

SCE and its customers are exposed to the risk of a change in the market price of natural gas, electric power and transmission congestion. Due to regulatory mechanisms, exposure to commodity prices is not expected to impact earnings but may impact timing of cash flows. SCE's hedging program is designed to reduce exposure to variability in market prices related to SCE's purchases and sales of electric power and natural gas. As part of this program, SCE enters into energy options, swaps, forward arrangements, and congestion revenue rights ("CRRs"). The transactions are pre-approved by the CPUC or executed in compliance with CPUC-approved procurement plans. Therefore, SCE expects recovery of its related hedging costs, as well as procurement costs, through the ERRA balancing account or CPUC-approved procurement plans. For more details of the ERRA balancing account, see "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process."

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The fair value of derivative instruments is included in the consolidated balance sheets unless subject to an exception under the applicable accounting guidance. Realized gains and losses from derivative instruments are expected to be recovered from or refunded to customers through regulatory mechanisms and, accordingly, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments have no impact on earnings. SCE does not use hedge accounting for these transactions due to this regulatory accounting treatment. For further discussion on fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements."

The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments used to mitigate exposure to commodity price risk was a net asset of $212 million and $91 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The following table summarizes the increase or decrease to the fair values of the net asset of derivative instruments included in the consolidated balance sheets, if the electricity prices or gas prices were changed while leaving all other assumptions constant:

Decrease in electricity prices by 10%(34)(26)
Increase in gas prices by 10%15
Decrease in gas prices by 10%(1)(5)

Investment Price Risk

Edison International and SCE are subject to investment price risk due to securities held as investments in the nuclear decommissioning trust and various pension and other post-retirement benefit plan trusts.

Nuclear Decommissioning Trust

As of December 31, 2024, SCE's nuclear decommissioning trust investments include equity investments of $1.6 billion and fixed income investments of $2.6 billion. These investments are exposed to price fluctuations in equity markets and changes in interest rates. SCE's investment policies and CPUC requirements place limitations on the types and investment grade ratings of the securities that may be held by the nuclear decommissioning trust. These policies restrict the trust from holding alternative investments and limit the trust funds' exposures to investments in highly illiquid markets. Due to regulatory mechanisms, investment earnings and realized and unrealized gains and losses increase or decrease the trust assets and the related regulatory asset or liability, and do not materially affect earnings. For further discussion on the

27

Table of Contents

nuclear decommissioning trust investments, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements" and "—Note 10. Investments."

PBOP and Pension Plan Assets

The PBOP Plan and the Southern California Edison Company Retirement Plan Trust assets include investments in equity securities, U.S. treasury securities, other fixed-income securities, common/collective funds, mutual funds, other investment entities, foreign exchange and interest rate contracts, and partnership/joint ventures. These investments are exposed to price fluctuations in equity markets and changes in interest rates. The investment of plan assets is overseen by a fiduciary investment committee. Risk is managed through diversification among multiple asset classes, managers, styles, and securities. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 9. Compensation and Benefit Plans" for additional information regarding investment strategy of plan assets.

Contributions related to SCE employees made to SCE pension plan are anticipated to be recovered through CPUC-approved regulatory mechanisms.

Credit Risk

Credit risk exposure from counterparties for power and gas trading activities is measured as the sum of net accounts receivable (accounts receivable less accounts payable) and the current fair value of net derivative assets (derivative assets less derivative liabilities) reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. SCE enters into master agreements which typically provide for a right of set-off. Accordingly, SCE's credit risk exposure from counterparties is based on a net exposure under these arrangements. SCE manages the credit risk on the portfolio of counterparties based on credit ratings and other publicly disclosed information, such as financial statements, regulatory filings and press releases, to guide it in the process of setting credit levels, risk limits and contractual arrangements, including master netting agreements. Based on SCE's policies and risk exposures related to credit, SCE does not anticipate a material adverse effect on their financial statements as a result of counterparty nonperformance. At December 31, 2024, SCE's power and gas trading counterparty credit risk exposure was $110 million, 99.8% of which was associated with entities with an investment grade rating of A or higher. SCE assigns a credit rating to counterparties based on the lowest of a counterparty's S&P's, Moody's, and Fitch's rating.

For more information related to credit risks, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 6. Derivative Instruments."

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES

The accounting policies described below are considered critical to obtaining an understanding of Edison International's and SCE's consolidated financial statements because their application requires the use of significant estimates and judgments by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Management estimates and judgments are inherently uncertain and may differ significantly from actual results achieved. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if the estimate requires significant assumptions and changes in the estimate or, the use of alternative estimates, could have a material impact on Edison International's and SCE's results of operations or financial position. For more information on Edison International's and SCE's accounting policies, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."

Accounting for Contingencies

Nature of Estimates Required. Edison International and SCE record loss contingencies when management determines that the outcome of future events is probable of occurring and when the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies are recognized in the financial statements when they are realized.

Key Assumptions and Approach Used. The determination of an accrual for a loss contingency is based on management judgment and estimates with respect to the likely outcome of the matter, including the analysis of different scenarios. Liabilities are recorded or adjusted when events or circumstances cause these judgments or estimates to change. In assessing whether a loss is a reasonable possibility, Edison International and SCE may consider the following factors, among others: the nature of the litigation, claim or assessment, opinions or views of legal counsel and other advisors, and the experience gained from similar cases. Edison International and SCE provide disclosures for material contingencies when there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or an additional loss may be incurred.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used. Actual amounts realized upon settlement of contingencies may be different than amounts recorded and disclosed and could have a significant impact on the liabilities, revenue and expenses recorded on the consolidated financial statements. For a discussion of contingencies, guarantees, and indemnities, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies."

Table of Contents

Application to Wildfires

As discussed in "Management Overview," wildfires in SCE's service area have caused loss of life, substantial damage to both residential and business properties, and service outages for SCE customers.

The extent of legal liability for wildfire-related damages in actions against utilities depends on a number of factors, including whether the utility substantially caused or contributed to the damages and whether parties seeking recovery of damages will be required to show negligence in addition to causation. Final determinations of legal liability for wildfire events, including determinations of whether SCE was negligent, would only be made during lengthy and complex litigation processes and settlements may be reached before determinations of legal liability are ever made.

Edison International and SCE have incurred material losses in connection with several wildfires. Estimated losses for wildfire litigation are based on a number of assumptions and are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Actual losses incurred may be higher or lower than estimated based on several factors, including the uncertainty in estimating damages that have been or may be alleged. For instance, SCE will receive additional information with respect to damages claimed as the claims mediation and trial processes progress. Other factors that can cause actual losses incurred to be higher or lower than estimated include the ability to reach settlements and the outcomes of settlements reached through the ongoing claims mediation and trial processes, uncertainties related to the sufficiency of insurance held by plaintiffs, uncertainties related to the litigation processes, including whether plaintiffs will ultimately pursue claims, uncertainty as to the legal and factual determinations to be made during litigation, including uncertainty as to the contributing causes of certain wildfires, and the uncertainty as to how these factors impact future settlements.

For more information related to the loss contingencies of the wildfires, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."

Rate Regulated Enterprises

Nature of Estimate Required. SCE follows the accounting principles for rate-regulated enterprises which are required for entities whose rates are set by regulators at levels intended to recover the estimated costs of providing service, plus a return on net investment, or rate base. Regulators may also impose penalties or grant incentives. Due to timing and other differences in the collection of revenue, these accounting principles allow a cost that would otherwise be charged as an expense by an unregulated entity to be capitalized as a regulatory asset if it is probable that such cost is recoverable through future rates; conversely the accounting principles require creation of a regulatory liability for amounts collected in rates to recover costs expected to be incurred in the future or amounts collected in excess of costs incurred and refundable to customers. In addition, SCE recognizes revenue and regulatory assets from alternative revenue programs, which enables the utility to adjust future rates in response to past activities or completed events, if certain criteria are met.

Accounting principles for rate-regulated enterprises also require recognition of an impairment loss if it becomes probable that the regulated utility will abandon a plant investment or the cost of a recently completed plant will be disallowed for ratemaking purposes, and a reasonable estimate of the amount of the disallowance can be made.

Key Assumptions and Approach Used. SCE's management assesses at the end of each reporting period whether regulatory assets are probable of future recovery by considering factors such as the current regulatory environment, the issuance of rate orders on recovery of the specific or a similar incurred cost to SCE or other rate-regulated entities, and other factors that would indicate that the regulator will treat an incurred cost as allowable for ratemaking purposes. Using these factors, management has determined that existing regulatory assets are probable of future recovery or settlement, and regulatory liabilities are properly identified. This determination reflects the current regulatory climate and is subject to change in the future. SCE also considers whether any plant investments are probable of abandonment or disallowance.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used. Significant management judgment is required to evaluate the anticipated recovery of regulatory assets and plant investments, the recognition of incentives and revenue subject to refund, as well as the anticipated cost of regulatory liabilities or penalties. If future recovery of costs ceases to be probable, all or part of the regulatory assets and/or plant investments would have to be written off against current period earnings, and additional regulatory liabilities would have to be recognized. At December 31, 2024, the consolidated balance sheets included regulatory assets of $11.6 billion and regulatory liabilities of $11.5 billion. If different judgments were reached on recovery of costs and timing of income recognition, SCE's earnings may vary from the amounts reported.

Application to Southern California Wildfires

Application to pre-AB 1054 fires

Regulatory recovery of SCE's losses realized in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events in excess of available insurance is subject to approval by regulators. Under accounting standards for rate-regulated enterprises, SCE defers costs as regulatory assets in the period it concludes that such costs are probable of future recovery in electric rates.

29

Table of Contents

SCE utilizes objectively determinable evidence to form its view on probability of future recovery. The only directly comparable precedent, in which a California investor-owned utility sought recovery for uninsured wildfire claims related costs and the CPUC made a prudency determination, is SDG&E's requests for cost recovery related to 2007 wildfire activity. The FERC allowed recovery of all FERC-jurisdictional wildfire claims related costs, while the CPUC rejected recovery of all CPUC-jurisdictional wildfire claims related costs based on a determination that SDG&E did not meet the CPUC's prudency standard.

In January 2025, the CPUC approved the TKM Settlement Agreement and closed the proceeding. However, the CPUC did not make a determination regarding SCE's prudency when it approved the TKM Settlement Agreement. Therefore, notwithstanding CPUC approval of the TKM Settlement Agreement, SCE believes that the CPUC's interpretation and application of the prudency standard to SDG&E continues to create substantial uncertainty regarding how that standard will be applied to an investor-owned utility in wildfire cost-recovery proceedings for fires ignited prior to July 12, 2019. Consequently, SCE is unable to estimate the uninsured CPUC-jurisdictional claims related costs related to the Woolsey Fire or Creek Fire, both pre-AB 1054 events, that are probable of future recovery, and will not record a regulatory asset for recoveries related to the Woolsey Fire or Creek Fire in connection with the approval of the TKM Settlement Agreement. SCE will continue to evaluate the facts and circumstances of the pre-AB 1054 cost recovery proceeding to determine if and when a regulatory asset for pre-AB 1054 events may be recorded.

Through the operation of its FERC Formula Rate, and based upon the precedent established in SDG&E's recovery of FERC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs, SCE believes it is probable it will recover its FERC-jurisdictional wildfire and mudslide related costs and has recorded total expected recoveries within the FERC balancing account.

Application to post-AB-1054 Other Wildfire Events

Management judgment is required to assess the probability of recovery of SCE's losses realized, in excess of available insurance, in connection with wildfires ignited after the adoption of AB 1054 in July 2019.

The CPUC and FERC may not allow SCE to recover uninsured losses through electric rates if it is determined that such losses were not reasonably or prudently incurred. On July 12, 2019, AB 1054 clarified that the CPUC must allow recovery of costs and expenses arising from a covered wildfire if the utility's conduct related to the ignition was consistent with actions that a reasonable utility would have undertaken in good faith under similar circumstances, at the relevant point in time, and based on the information available at that time. Further, utilities with a valid safety certification at the time of the relevant wildfire will be presumed to have acted prudently related to a wildfire ignition unless a party in the cost recovery proceeding creates "serious doubt" as to the reasonableness of the utility's conduct, at which time, the burden shifts back to the utility to dispel that doubt and prove its conduct was prudent. The serious doubt standard in AB 1054 is modeled after the FERC cost recovery standard. SCE evaluates the probability of recovery of costs related to the Other Wildfire Events that ignited after the adoption of AB 1054 in the context of the prudency standard laid out by AB 1054 above, including how the FERC applies the serious doubt standard. SCE’s evaluation also relies on its status as a holder of a valid safety certification, facts and other evidence known to date related to the ignition, and any regulatory decisions illustrating the interpretation and/or application of the prudency framework under AB 1054, which as of December 31, 2024, has not been applied by the CPUC to an actual cost recovery application filed by any California investor-owned utility. SCE also considers which costs are eligible for recovery based on precedent from other CPUC cost recovery proceedings. Management's assessment of the probability of recovery may change, related to changes in any of these factors in the future.

See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides" for further discussion of regulatory assets recorded for wildfire as of December 31, 2024.

Income Taxes

Nature of Estimates Required. As part of the process of preparing its consolidated financial statements, Edison International and SCE are required to estimate income taxes for each jurisdiction in which they operate. This process involves estimating actual current period tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depreciation, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within Edison International's and SCE's consolidated balance sheets, including net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Certain estimates and assumptions are required to determine whether deferred tax assets can and will be utilized in future periods. Based on currently enacted tax laws, Edison International expects to generate sufficient taxable income to fully utilize all loss and credit carryovers set to expire beyond 2024.

Edison International and SCE take certain tax positions they believe are in accordance with the applicable tax laws. However, these tax positions are subject to interpretation by the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities and the courts. Edison International and SCE determine uncertain tax positions in accordance with the authoritative guidance.

Table of Contents

Key Assumptions and Approach Used. In determining whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards can be utilized, management analyzes the trend of GAAP earnings and then estimates the impact of future taxable income, reversing temporary differences and available prudent and feasible tax planning strategies based on currently enacted tax laws.

Accounting for tax obligations requires management judgment. Edison International's and SCE's management use judgment in determining whether the evidence indicates it is more likely than not, based solely on the technical merits, that a tax position will be sustained, and to determine the amount of tax benefits to be recognized. Judgment is also used in determining the likelihood a tax position will be settled and possible settlement outcomes. In assessing uncertain tax positions Edison International and SCE consider, among others, the following factors: the facts and circumstances of the position, regulations, rulings, case law, opinions or views of legal counsel and other advisers, and the experience gained from similar tax positions. Edison International and SCE evaluate uncertain tax positions at the end of each reporting period and make adjustments when warranted based on changes in fact or law.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used. Should a change in facts or circumstances, including a change in enacted tax legislation, lead to a change in judgment about the ultimate realizability of a deferred tax asset, Edison International and SCE would record or adjust the related valuation allowance in the period that the change in facts and circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding increase or decrease in the provision for income taxes.

Actual income taxes may differ from the estimated amounts which could have a significant impact on the liabilities, revenue, and expenses recorded in the financial statements. Edison International and SCE continue to be under audit or subject to audit for multiple years in various jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required to determine the tax treatment of particular tax positions that involve interpretations of complex tax laws. Such liabilities are based on judgment and a final determination could take many years from the time the liability is recorded. Furthermore, settlement of tax positions included in open tax years may be resolved by compromises of tax positions based on current factors and business considerations that may result in material adjustments to income taxes previously estimated. For a discussion of current and deferred taxes, net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, unrecognized tax benefits, and tax disputes, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes."

Nuclear Decommissioning – Asset Retirement Obligation

Key Assumptions and Approach Used. San Onofre Units 1, 2, and 3 decommissioning cost estimates are updated in each NDCTP and when there are material changes to the timing or amount of estimated future cash flows. Palo Verde decommissioning cost estimates are updated by the operating agent, Arizona Public Services, every three years and when there are material changes to the timing or amount of estimated future cash flows. SCE estimates that it will spend approximately $7.6 billion, undiscounted through 2098, to decommission its nuclear facilities.

The current ARO estimates for San Onofre and Palo Verde are based on:

•Decommissioning Costs. The estimated costs for labor, material, equipment and other, and low-level radioactive waste costs are included in each of the NRC decommissioning stages: license termination, site restoration and spent fuel storage. The liability to decommission SCE's nuclear power facilities is based on a 2024 decommissioning study, filed as part of the 2024 NDCTP, for San Onofre Unit 1, 2, and 3 and a 2023 decommissioning study for Palo Verde.

•Escalation Rates. Annual escalation rates are used to convert the decommissioning cost estimates in base year dollars to decommissioning cost estimates in future-year dollars. Escalation rates are primarily used for labor, material, equipment, and low-level radioactive waste burial costs. SCE's current estimates are based upon SCE's decommissioning cost methodology used for ratemaking purposes. Average escalation rates range from 2.1% to 7.5% (depending on the cost element) annually.

•Timing. Initial decommissioning activities at San Onofre Unit 1 started in 1999 and at Units 2 and 3 in 2013. Cost estimates for San Onofre Units are currently based on completion of decommissioning activities by 2056. Cost estimates for Palo Verde are based on an assumption that decommissioning will commence promptly after the current NRC operating licenses expire. The Palo Verde 1, 2, and 3 operating licenses currently expire in 2045, 2046, and 2047, respectively.

•Spent Fuel Dry Storage Costs. Cost estimates, including the impact of escalations, are based on an assumption that the U.S. Department of Energy will begin to take spent fuel from the nuclear industry in 2034 and will remove the last spent fuel from the San Onofre and Palo Verde sites by 2054 and 2097, respectively.

•Changes in Decommissioning Technology, Regulation and Economics. The current cost studies assume the use of current technologies under current regulations and at current cost levels.

Table of Contents

See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Decommissioning of San Onofre" for further discussion of the plans for decommissioning of San Onofre.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used. The ARO for decommissioning SCE's nuclear facilities was $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2024, based on the most recent decommissioning studies performed and the subsequent cost estimate updates. Changes in the estimated costs, execution strategy or timing of decommissioning, or in the assumptions and judgments by management underlying these estimates, could cause material revisions to the estimated total cost to decommission these facilities which could have a material effect on the recorded liability.

The following table illustrates the increase to the ARO liability if the cost escalation rate was adjusted while leaving all other assumptions constant:

(in millions)Increase to ARO atDecember 31, 2024
Uniform increase in escalation rate of 1 percentage point$579

The increase in the ARO liability driven by an increase in the escalation rate would result in a decrease in the regulatory liability for recoveries in excess of ARO liabilities. As of December 31, 2024, the regulatory liability for recoveries in excess of ARO liabilities was $1.7 billion.

Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions

Nature of Estimate Required. Authoritative accounting guidance requires companies to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans as assets and liabilities in the balance sheet; the assets and/or liabilities are normally offset through other comprehensive income (loss). In accordance with authoritative guidance for rate-regulated enterprises, regulatory assets and liabilities are recorded instead of charges and credits to other comprehensive income (loss) for its postretirement benefit plans that are recoverable in utility rates. Edison International and SCE have a fiscal year-end measurement date for all of their postretirement plans.

Key Assumptions of Approach Used. Pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and the related effects on results of operations are calculated using actuarial models. Two critical assumptions, discount rate and expected return on assets, are important elements of plan expense, and the discount rate is important to liability measurement. Other assumptions, which require management judgment, include the rate of compensation increases, and rates of retirement, turnover and termination. Additionally, health care cost trend rates are critical assumptions for postretirement health care plans. These critical assumptions are evaluated periodically and updated to reflect actual experience, as appropriate.

As of December 31, 2024, Edison International's and SCE's pension plans had a $3.6 billion and $3.3 billion projected benefit obligation, respectively, and total 2024 expense for these plans was $27 million and $24 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the accumulated benefit obligation for Edison International's and SCE's PBOP plans were $741 million and $737 million, respectively, and there were no expenses for Edison International's and SCE's PBOP plans for 2024. The majority of annual contributions made to SCE's pension and PBOP plan are anticipated to be recovered through CPUC-approved regulatory mechanisms and are expected to be, at a minimum, equal to the related annual expense.

Pension expense is recorded for SCE based on the amount funded to the trusts, as calculated using an actuarial method required for ratemaking purposes, in which the impact of market volatility on plan assets is recognized in earnings on a more gradual basis. Any difference between pension expense calculated in accordance with ratemaking methods and pension expense calculated in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance for pension is accumulated as a regulatory asset or liability, and is expected, over time, to be recovered from or returned to customers. As of December 31, 2024, this cumulative difference amounted to $132 million, meaning that the ratemaking method has recognized less in expense than the accounting method since implementation of authoritative guidance for employers' accounting for pensions in 1987, which was offset by a regulatory liability for the current funding level of SCE's pension plan.

Edison International and SCE used the following critical assumptions to determine expense for pension and PBOP for 2024:

32

Table of Contents

(in millions)Pension PlansPBOP Plans
Discount rate15.04%5.06%
Expected long-term return on plan assets26.75%4.88%
Assumed health care cost trend rates3*6.50%

*Not applicable to pension plans.

1The discount rate enables Edison International and SCE to state expected future cash flows at a present value on the measurement date. Edison International and SCE select its discount rate by performing a yield curve analysis. This analysis determines the equivalent discount rate on projected cash flows by matching the timing and amount of expected future benefit payments to the corresponding yields from the Willis Towers Watson RATE: Link 10th – 90th percentile yield curve model on the measurement date.

2To determine the expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, current and expected asset allocations are considered, as well as historical and expected returns on plan assets. A portion of PBOP trusts asset returns are subject to taxation, so the 5% rate of return on plan assets above is determined on an after-tax basis. Actual time-weighted, annualized returns on the pension plan assets were 5.6%, 5.2% and 6.6% for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2024, respectively. Actual time-weighted, annualized returns on the PBOP plan assets were 3.5%, 1.8% and 4.3% over these same periods. Accounting principles provide that differences between expected and actual returns are recognized over the average future service of employees.

3The health care cost trend rate gradually declines to 5.00% for 2029 and beyond.

As of December 31, 2024, Edison International and SCE had unrecognized net pension gains of $138 million and $120 million, respectively, and unrecognized PBOP gains of $1.5 billion. The unrecognized pension and PBOP gains primarily consisted of the cumulative impact of the increased discount rates on the respective benefit obligations and the cumulative difference between the expected and actual rate of return on plan assets. Of these deferred gains, $133 million of SCE's pension gains and $1.5 billion of SCE's PBOP gains are recorded as regulatory liabilities, respectively, and are expected to be amortized to expense over the expected future service of the employees (subject to regulatory adjustment) or refunded to ratepayers at the termination or completion of the plan.

Edison International's and SCE's pension and PBOP plans are subject to limits established for federal tax deductibility. SCE funds its pension and PBOP plans in accordance with amounts allowed by the CPUC. Executive pension plans have no plan assets.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used. Changes in the estimated costs or timing of pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, or the assumptions and judgments used by management underlying these estimates, could have a material effect on the recorded expenses and liabilities.

The following table summarizes the increase or decrease to projected benefit obligation for pension and the accumulated benefit obligation for PBOP if the discount rate were changed while leaving all other assumptions constant:

Edison InternationalSCE
(in millions)Increase in discount rate by 1%Decrease in discount rate by 1%Increase in discount rate by 1%Decrease in discount rate by 1%
Change to projected benefit obligation for pension$(123)$143$(100)$116
Change to accumulated benefit obligation for PBOP(69)83(69)82

A one percentage point increase in the expected rate of return on pension plan assets would decrease Edison International's and SCE's current year expense by $35 million and $33 million, respectively, and a one percentage point increase in the expected rate of return on PBOP plan assets would decrease both Edison International's and SCE's current year expense by $23 million.

Contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund

Nature of Estimates Required. At December 31, 2024, Edison International and SCE have a $1.9 billion long-term asset and a $138 million current asset reflected as "Wildfire Insurance Fund contributions" in the consolidated balance sheets for the initial $2.4 billion contribution made during 2019 and the present value of annual contributions SCE committed to make to the Wildfire Insurance Fund, reduced by amortization. At December 31, 2024, a long-term liability of $363 million has been reflected in "Other deferred credits and other long-term liabilities" for the present value of unpaid contributions. Contributions were discounted to the present value using US treasury interest rates at the date SCE committed to participate in the Wildfire Insurance Fund.

Management concluded it would be most appropriate to account for the contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund similar to prepaid insurance, ratably allocating the expense to periods based on an estimated period of coverage.

Key Assumptions and Approach Used. The Wildfire Insurance Fund does not have a defined life. Instead, the Wildfire Insurance Fund will terminate when the administrator determines that the fund has been exhausted. Management reassesses the period of coverage of the fund at least annually in the first quarter each year and adjustments are applied on a prospective basis. The determination of the correct period in which to record an expense in relation to contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund depends, among other factors, on management's assessment of: the future occurrence and magnitude of wildfires; the involvement of SCE, or other electrical corporations which could access the Wildfire Insurance Fund, in the ignition of those fires; the probable future outcomes of CPUC cost recovery proceedings for wildfire claims, which may require reimbursement of the fund by electrical corporations; and the use of the contributions by the administrator of the Wildfire Insurance Fund. Further information regarding these factors may become available due to the actions of the fund administrator, or other entities, which could require management to reassess the period of coverage.

Edison International and SCE assess the Wildfire Insurance Fund contribution asset for impairment each reporting period. An impairment will be recorded if the Wildfire Insurance Fund contribution asset exceeds SCE's ability to benefit from the remaining coverage provided by the Wildfire Insurance Fund.

In January 2024, Edison International and SCE used Monte Carlo simulations for the annual assessment to estimate the period of coverage of the fund. This assessment was based on ten years (2014 – 2023) of historical data from wildfires caused by electrical utility equipment to estimate expected loss, resulting in an estimated fund life of 20 years from the date SCE committed to participate in the Wildfire Insurance Fund. The details of the operation of the Wildfire Insurance Fund and estimates related to claims by SCE, PG&E, and SDG&E against the fund have been applied to the expected loss simulations to estimate the period of coverage of the fund. The most sensitive inputs to the estimated period of coverage are the expected frequency of wildfire events caused by investor-owned utility electrical equipment and the estimated costs associated with those forecasted events. These inputs are most affected by the historical data used in estimating expected losses. Using a 17-year period (2007 – 2023) of historical data would further increase the period of coverage. There were fires in the service area of SCE, PG&E and SDG&E since the inception of the Wildfire Insurance Fund, including fires for which the cause is unknown, which may in the future be determined to be covered by the Wildfire Insurance Fund and have not been reflected or estimated at this time. As of the date of this filing, SCE is continuing to perform its annual assessment for 2025 to reassess its estimate of the life of the Wildfire Insurance Fund.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used. Changes in the estimated life of the insurance fund, including impairment of the fund, could have a material impact on the expense recognition.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The discussion related to the results of operations and changes in financial condition for 2022 compared to 2021 is incorporated by reference to Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Edison International's and SCE's combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC in February 2023.

MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

Highlights of Operating Results

Edison International is the ultimate parent holding company of SCE and Edison Energy. SCE is an investor-owned public utility primarily engaged in the business of supplying and delivering electricity to an approximately 50,000 square mile area of southern California. Edison Energy is a global energy advisory firm providing integrated sustainability and energy solutions to commercial, industrial and institutional customers. Edison Energy's business activities are currently not material to report as a separate business segment.

Edison International's earnings are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses core earnings (loss) internally for financial planning and for analysis of performance. Core earnings (loss) 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. Core earnings (loss) are a non-GAAP financial measure and may not be comparable to those of other companies. Core earnings (loss) are defined as earnings attributable to Edison International shareholders less non-core items. Non-core items include income or loss from discontinued operations and income or loss from significant discrete items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings, such as write downs, asset impairments and other income and expense related to changes in law, outcomes in tax, regulatory or legal proceedings, and exit activities, including sale of certain assets and other activities that are no longer continuing.

Beginning July 1, 2023, SCE implemented a customer-funded wildfire self-insurance program. With the commencement of this program, Edison International and SCE no longer consider claims-related losses for wildfires to be representative of ongoing earnings and are treating such costs as non-core items prospectively. For additional information on the customer-funded self-insurance program, see "—Customer-Funded Self-Insurance."

Edison International's 2023 earnings increased $585 million, driven by an increase in SCE's earnings of $627 million, offset by an increase in Edison International Parent and Other loss of $42 million. SCE's higher net income consisted of $106 million of higher core earnings and $521 million of lower non-core loss. Edison International Parent and Other higher loss consisted of $46 million of higher core loss, offset by $4 million of higher non-core earnings.

The increase in SCE's core earnings was primarily due to higher revenue due to the escalation mechanism as set forth in the 2021 GRC final decision and higher interest income on balancing account undercollections, partially offset by higher interest expense.

The increase in Edison International Parent and Other's core loss was primarily due to higher interest expense, partially offset by gains on preferred stock repurchases.

Consolidated non-core items for 2023 and 2022 for Edison International included:

Electricity Industry Trends

The electric power industry is undergoing urgent and fundamental changes to how energy infrastructure is planned and built, driven by federal and state government actions to reduce GHG emissions, new sources of demand, such as electric vehicles and building electrification, and technological innovations that support clean energy adoption, such as customer-owned generation and energy storage. These factors are altering the way in which electricity is generated and delivered, as well as the regulatory and business environment for the industry.

California is committed to reducing its GHG emissions, improving local air quality and supporting continued economic growth. The state codified into law goals to reduce GHG emissions by 40% from 1990 levels by 2030 and 85% from the same baseline by 2045, as well as to be carbon neutral by 2045. State and local air quality plans also call for substantial

Table of Contents

improvements. In the most polluted areas of the state this includes reducing smog-causing nitrogen oxides 90% below 2010 levels by 2032.

While these policy goals cannot be achieved by the electric sector alone, the electric grid is a critical enabler of the adoption of energy technologies that support California's GHG reduction objectives. California has set RPS targets which require California retail sellers of electricity to provide 60% of power from renewable resources by 2030. California also requires sellers of electricity to deliver 100% of retail sales from carbon-free sources by 2045, including interim targets of 90% by 2035 and 95% by 2040. In 2023, approximately 49% of SCE's customer deliveries came from carbon-free resources. SCE remains well-positioned to meet its long-term RPS and carbon-free power goals and interim targets. In addition, Edison International is committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2045, in alignment with economywide climate actions planned by California. This commitment covers the power SCE delivers to customers and Edison International's enterprise-wide operations.

The current federal administration has also responded to climate change through numerous regulatory and Executive Order actions including for the development of more robust fuel efficiency and vehicle emission standards. Many of these actions align with internal company goals and efforts to address and mitigate climate change. Additionally, building upon the historic infrastructure legislation of 2021, Congress passed the IRA in 2022 that provides significant new funding to electrify the economy. Edison International believes these actions complement its industry-leading efforts to equitably transition to a decarbonized economy.

Edison International believes that California's 2045 goals can be achieved most economically through emissions reductions from using clean electricity to serve 100% of retail sales, electrifying approximately 90% of light-duty vehicles, 90% of medium-duty vehicles, 54% of heavy-duty vehicles, 80% of buses and 95% of buildings and using low-carbon fuels for technologies that are not yet viable for electrification. California has demonstrated strong long-term support of transportation electrification as shown by the approval of SCE's Charge Ready programs and 2022 legislation banning sales of new gas vehicles by 2035. However, Edison International believes that more state policy support, along with public and private investment, is needed to enable California to reach its 2030 and 2045 GHG reduction targets.

To support these goals, Edison International's vision is to lead the transformation of the electric power industry and the company is focused on opportunities in delivering clean energy, advancing electrification, building a modernized and more reliable grid, and enabling customers' technology choices. SCE's ongoing focus to drive operational and service excellence is intended to allow it to achieve these objectives safely while controlling costs and customer rates. SCE projects that, even as electricity bills increase over time, due to higher efficiency of electrified end-use technologies, decarbonization and electrification will reduce total energy consumption costs for the average family by 40% by 2045.

SCE's grid investment is a key enabler of economywide electrification. To support system reliability, SCE is investing $1.0 billion in utility owned storage capacity as well as contracting for substantial new clean energy resources. See "—Capital Program" and "Business—SCE—Purchased Power and Fuel Supply—CAISO Wholesale Energy Market" for further details. SCE also continues to implement its transportation electrification programs. As of December 31, 2023, SCE had completed construction at 259 sites to support 4,425 charge ports under its suite of light-duty Charge Ready programs, and 65 sites to support the electrification of 1,540 medium and heavy-duty vehicles through its Charge Ready Transport program. SCE plans to invest approximately $13 billion in infrastructure replacement between 2023 and 2028 to ensure the grid is reliable, resilient, and ready for widespread electrification. This represents approximately 30% of the capital plan for that same time period, as discussed in "—Capital Program."

SCE and Edison International are investing in building a more resilient grid to reduce climate- and weather-related vulnerabilities. Since 2018, SCE has been adapting to climate change through system hardening to reduce wildfire risk. In its 2025 GRC, SCE proposed climate adaptation investments to address wildfire and physical risks that could occur by 2030.

Table of Contents

Changes in the electric power industry are impacting customers and jurisdictions outside California as well. Many other states and countries are also pursuing climate change and GHG reduction objectives and large commercial and industrial customers are continuing to pursue cost reduction and sustainability goals. Edison Energy is a global energy advisory firm providing integrated sustainability and energy solutions to commercial, industrial and institutional customers who may be impacted by these changes.

To better engage in this broader transformation and provide a view of developments outside of SCE, Edison International has also made several investments in emerging companies in areas related to the technology and business model changes that are driving industry transformation and may make additional investments in the future. These investments are not financially material to Edison International.

Track 4

In November 2023, the CPUC approved an all-party settlement in Track 4, which authorized an $8.4 billion revenue requirement for 2024, subject to adjustments for updated operations and maintenance escalation rates, the CPUC's decisions to adopt SCE's 2023 to 2025 cost of capital, and expanded customer-funded self-insurance for wildfire-related claims.

2025 General Rate Case

SCE filed its 2025 GRC application with the CPUC in May 2023, for the four-year period 2025 – 2028. In its application, SCE is requesting that the CPUC authorize SCE's test year 2025 revenue requirement of approximately $10.3 billion. This represents a $1.9 billion, or 23% increase over the approximately $8.4 billion 2024 revenue requirement adopted in Track 4 (prior to adjustments for the CPUC's decisions as discussed above in "—Track 4").

SCE's 2025 GRC request also includes proposed revenue requirement increases of approximately $600 million, $700 million, and $700 million in 2026, 2027 and 2028, respectively.

SCE's 2025 GRC highlights its focus on safely providing electric service to its customers that is reliable, resilient, and ready for their needs today and the clean energy transition directed by California policy. The critical drivers of SCE's 2025 GRC request include returning to historical levels of infrastructure replacement work necessary for system reliability as wildfire mitigation activities stabilize, investments in reliability and capacity upgrades to ready the grid for increased electrification to meet customer needs and California's electrification and decarbonization goals, and investments in programs aimed at protecting the safety of the public, customers and SCE's workforce.

In its application, SCE requested that the CPUC issue a final decision on its application by the end of 2024. If the decision is delayed, SCE will request the CPUC to issue an order directing that the authorized revenue requirement changes be effective January 1, 2025, even if the decision is issued subsequent to that date, consistent with CPUC practice in prior GRCs.

Cost of Capital Trigger

The cost of capital adjustment mechanism set by the CPUC provides for an adjustment to SCE's authorized cost of capital that, when triggered, will impact SCE's results of operations and cash flows. In 2023, the cost of capital adjustment mechanism was triggered when the difference between the average Moody's Baa utility bond yield for the 12-month period from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023 and the mechanism's benchmark exceeded 100-basis points. As a result, SCE's CPUC-authorized ROE increased from 10.05% to 10.75% effective January 1, 2024. Additionally, SCE's authorized costs of long-term debt and preferred equity for 2024 were updated to 4.48% and 7.02%, respectively. The total resulting increase to SCE's 2024 GRC-related revenue requirement is $201 million, which will be implemented in rates starting in the first quarter of 2024. Certain parties have sought review or suspension of the 2024 adjustment, which could impact SCE's authorized cost of capital for 2024. For further information see "Business—SCE— Overview of Ratemaking Process."

Capital Program

Total capital expenditures (including accruals) were $5.4 billion in 2023 and $5.7 billion in 2022. SCE's year-end rate base was $42.7 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to $40.6 billion at December 31, 2022, after excluding rate base associated with AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures.

SCE's 2023 recorded and 2024 – 2028 forecast capital expenditures are set forth in the table below:

*     Not applicable

SCE forecasts a $37.5 billion total capital program for 2024 through 2028, based on the Track 4 settlement (see "—Track 4") and 2025 GRC application, adjusted for ongoing delays in the Riverside Transmission Reliability Project (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Capital Investment Plan") and denial of SCE’s Building Electrification Program (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Regulatory Proceedings”). This forecast includes GRC capital expenditures, CPUC non-GRC capital expenditures, and FERC capital expenditures.

Based on management judgment of potential capital spending variability informed by historical precedent of previously authorized amounts, potential permitting delays and other operational considerations, a range case has been prepared reflecting reductions to GRC capital expenditures, CPUC non-GRC capital expenditures and FERC capital expenditures. Based on the range case, SCE forecasts $32.2 billion total capital expenditures for 2024 through 2028.

In addition to the amounts presented in the table above, SCE expects to make additional CPUC capital investments, the recovery of which will be subject to future regulatory approval. This includes non-GRC programs including additional spending on an enterprise resource planning software implementation, an advanced metering infrastructure program and other potential investments in the grid supporting reliability, resilience and readiness. SCE expects the total expenditures of these programs to be at least $2.0 billion, some of which will be incurred beyond 2028. In addition, in May 2023,

Table of Contents

CAISO released its 2022 – 2023 Transmission Plan based on the CPUC's projections that it needs to add more than 40 gigawatts of new resources by 2032. As the incumbent transmission owner for a portion of these transmission projects, SCE expects to construct projects representing at least $2.0 billion of expenditures, most of which will be incurred beyond 2028.

Reflected below is SCE's weighted average annual rate base for 2023 – 2028 incorporating CPUC- and FERC- jurisdictional capital expenditures and planned non-GRC projects or programs.

SCE forecasts total weighted-average rate base incorporating CPUC- and FERC-jurisdictional capital expenditures increasing to $60.6 billion by 2028 based on the Track 4 settlement and 2025 GRC application adjusted for delays in the utility owned storage projects, the Riverside Transmission Reliability Project, and a reduction of working capital following implementation of the customer-funded self-insurance program.

Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides

California has experienced unprecedented weather conditions in recent years due to climate change. The worsening weather and fuel conditions across California increase the likelihood of wildfires, including those where SCE's equipment may be alleged to be associated with the fire's ignition, and SCE's service territory remains susceptible to additional wildfire activity in 2024 and beyond.

Wildfires in SCE's territory have caused loss of life, substantial damage to both residential and business properties, and service outages for SCE customers. SCE's equipment has been, and may further be, alleged to be associated with wildfires that originate in Southern California.

In response to worsening conditions and wildfire activity in its territory in the recent past, SCE has developed and is implementing its WMP to reduce the risk of SCE equipment contributing to the ignition of wildfires. In addition, California has increased its investment in wildfire prevention and fire suppression capabilities. Further to the investments SCE is making as part of its WMP, SCE also uses its PSPS program to proactively de-energize power lines as a last resort to mitigate the risk of significant wildfires during extreme weather events.

2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events

Multiple lawsuits and investigations related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events have been initiated against SCE and Edison International and SCE has incurred material losses in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events.

SCE has previously entered into settlements with a number of local public entities and subrogation plaintiffs in the TKM and Woolsey litigations and under the SED Agreement. In addition, SCE has also entered into settlements with approximately 12,000 individual plaintiffs in the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation.

In 2023, SCE accrued estimated losses of $630 million for remaining alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. As a result, SCE also recorded expected recoveries through FERC electric rates of $37 million against the charge, and the resulting net charge to earnings was $593 million ($428 million after-tax).

Through December 31, 2023, SCE has accrued estimated losses of $9.4 billion, recoveries from insurance of $2.0 billion, all of which have been collected, and expected recoveries through FERC electric rates of $413 million,

10

Table of Contents

$376 million of which has been collected, related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events claims. The after-tax net charges to earnings recorded for claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events through December 31, 2023 have been $5.1 billion.

Estimated losses for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation are based on a number of assumptions and are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Actual losses incurred may be higher or lower than estimated based on several factors, including the uncertainty in estimating damages that have been or may be alleged. For instance, SCE receives additional information with respect to damages claimed as the claims mediation and trial processes progress. Other factors that can cause actual losses incurred to be higher or lower than estimated include the ability to reach settlements and the outcomes of settlements reached through the ongoing claims mediation processes, uncertainties related to the sufficiency of insurance held by plaintiffs, uncertainties related to the litigation processes, including whether plaintiffs will ultimately pursue claims, uncertainty as to the legal and factual determinations to be made during litigation, including uncertainty as to the contributing causes of the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, the complexities associated with fires that merge and whether inverse condemnation will be held applicable to SCE with respect to damages caused by the Montecito Mudslides, and the uncertainty as to how these factors impact future settlements.

As of December 31, 2023, SCE had paid $8.7 billion under executed settlements and had $78 million to be paid under executed settlements, including $62 million to be paid under the SED Agreement, related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. After giving effect to all payment obligations under settlements entered into through December 31, 2023, Edison International's and SCE's best estimate of expected losses for remaining alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events was $637 million. Edison International and SCE may incur a material loss in excess of amounts accrued in connection with the remaining alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events.

SCE will seek CPUC-jurisdictional rate recovery of prudently-incurred losses and related costs realized in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events in excess of available insurance and FERC-jurisdictional recoveries, other than for any obligations under the SED Agreement. Based on Edison International's and SCE's current best estimate of expected losses for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, SCE currently expects to seek CPUC-jurisdictional rate recovery of approximately $6.4 billion of uninsured claims by filing applications with the CPUC. In August 2023, SCE filed the first of such cost recovery applications to seek rate recovery of $2.4 billion of prudently incurred losses related to the Thomas Fire, the Koenigstein Fire and the Montecito Mudslides, consisting of $2.0 billion of uninsured claims and $0.4 billion of associated costs, including legal fees and financing costs. In its filing, SCE is also seeking capital recovery of approximately $65 million in restoration costs. SCE has requested that the CPUC issue a proposed decision on its application in February 2025. SCE targets the third quarter of 2024 for the filing of its application to seek rate recovery of approximately $4 billion of uninsured claims related to the Woolsey Fire. In its application, SCE will also seek associated costs, including legal fees, financing costs and restoration costs. SCE's plans with respect to this filing may be delayed or modified. Because the CPUC's decision in a cost recovery proceeding involving SDG&E arising from several 2007 wildfires in SDG&E's service area is the only directly comparable precedent available, SCE believes that there is substantial uncertainty regarding how the CPUC will interpret and apply its prudency standard to an investor-owned utility in wildfire claims related cost-recovery proceedings for fires ignited prior to the adoption of AB 1054 on July 12, 2019. Accordingly, while the CPUC has not made a determination regarding SCE's prudency relative to any of the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, SCE is unable to conclude, at this time, that uninsured CPUC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events are probable of recovery through electric rates.

2017 Creek Fire

In addition to the Thomas, Koenigstein and Woolsey Fires, there were several other wildfires ignited in 2017 and 2018 that impacted portions of SCE's service territory, including the 2017 Creek Fire that ignited near Sylmar, California.

11

Table of Contents

Based on pending litigation, it is reasonably possible that SCE will incur a material loss in connection with the Creek Fire, but the range of reasonably possible losses that could be incurred cannot be estimated at this time. SCE has not determined that losses in connection with the Creek Fire are probable and consequently has not accrued a charge for potential losses relating to the Creek Fire. SCE’s wildfire insurance for the period in which the Creek Fire was ignited has been almost fully exhausted as a result of the TKM litigation.

Post-2018 Wildfires

Several wildfires have significantly impacted portions of SCE's service territory after 2018, including the 2019 Saddle Ridge Fire, the 2020 Bobcat Fire, the 2022 Coastal Fire and the 2022 Fairview Fire.

In 2023, SCE recorded a $184 million increase in estimated losses for claims related to the Post-2018 Wildfires and recorded $149 million in expected insurance recoveries against the charge. As a result, SCE also recorded expected recoveries through electric rates of $2 million against the charges accrued related to the Post-2018 Wildfires. The resulting net charge to earnings was $33 million ($24 million after-tax).

Through December 31, 2023, SCE has recorded total estimated losses of $880 million and expected recoveries from insurance and third parties of $622 million related to the Post-2018 Wildfire claims. As a result, SCE also recorded expected recoveries through electric rates of $168 million against the charges accrued related to the Post-2018 Wildfire claims. The after-tax net charges to earnings recorded through December 31, 2023 have been $65 million.

As of December 31, 2023, SCE had paid $204 million under executed settlements related to the Post-2018 Wildfires, and Edison International's and SCE's estimated losses for remaining alleged and potential claims (established at the low end of the estimated range of reasonably possible losses) related to the Post-2018 Wildfires was $676 million. As of the same date, SCE had assets for expected recoveries through insurance and third parties of $512 million and through electric rates of $154 million on its consolidated balance sheets related to the Post-2018 Wildfire claims.

While Edison International and SCE may incur material losses in excess of the amounts accrued for certain of the Post-2018 Wildfires, Edison International and SCE expect that any losses incurred in connection with any such fire will be covered by insurance, subject to self-insured retentions and co-insurance, and expect that any losses after expected recoveries from insurance and through electric rates will not be material.

In light of the prudency standard the CPUC is required to apply under AB 1054 to utilities holding a safety certificate at the time a wildfire ignited after July 12, 2019, SCE has concluded, at this time, that both uninsured CPUC-jurisdictional and uninsured FERC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs related to the Post-2018 Wildfires that it has deferred as regulatory assets are probable of recovery through electric rates. SCE will continue to evaluate the probability of recovery based on available evidence, including regulatory decisions, including any CPUC decisions illustrating the interpretation and/or application of the prudency standard under AB 1054, and, for each applicable fire, evidence that could cast serious doubt as to the reasonableness of SCE's conduct relative to that fire.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Initial and annual contributions to the wildfire insurance fund established pursuant to California Assembly Bill 1054" and "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides" in this report.

Customer-Funded Self-Insurance

In May 2023, the CPUC approved a joint petition for modification of the 2021 GRC decision filed by SCE, The Utility Reform Network and the Public Advocates Office, allowing SCE to expand its use of self-insurance. The approved self-insurance program is effective for wildfires ignited between July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2024, and has been funded

12

Table of Contents

through CPUC-jurisdictional rates with $150 million collected during the second half of 2023 and, in the absence of wildfire-related claims, $300 million to be collected in 2024. The self-insurance program resulted in a reduction to current revenue requirements of $80 million in 2023 and, subject to adjustment, $160 million in 2024. If losses are accrued for wildfire-related claims, the program contains an adjustment mechanism that will increase rates in subsequent years as needed, to allow for full recovery of the amounts accrued up to $1.0 billion per policy year, subject to a shareholder contribution of 2.5% of any self-insurance costs ultimately paid exceeding $500 million in any policy year, up to a maximum annual contribution of $12.5 million per policy year. If adopted in the 2025 GRC, this self-insurance framework will continue at least through 2028, supporting a self-insurance fund of up to $1.0 billion per policy year. SCE expects continuation of the customer-funded self-insurance framework to be adopted without protest in the 2025 GRC. Depending upon losses over time, customers will benefit further from SCE's wildfire self-insurance program as a result of not having to fund the recurring costs of SCE purchasing commercial wildfire insurance coverage.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SCE

SCE's results of operations are derived mainly through two sources:

Column 1Column 2
Earning activities – representing revenue authorized by the CPUC and the FERC, which is intended to provide SCE with a reasonable opportunity to recover its costs and earn a return on its net investment in generation, transmission, and distribution assets. The annual revenue requirements are comprised of authorized operation and maintenance costs, depreciation, taxes and a return consistent with the capital structure. Also, included in earnings activities are revenue or penalties related to incentive mechanisms, other operating revenue and regulatory charges or disallowances.
Column 1Column 2
Cost-recovery activities – representing CPUC- and FERC-authorized balancing accounts which allow for recovery of specific project or program costs, subject to reasonableness review or compliance with upfront standards, as well as non-bypassable rates collected for SCE Recovery Funding LLC. Cost-recovery activities include rates which provide recovery, subject to reasonableness review of, among other things, fuel costs, purchased power costs, public purpose related-program costs (including energy efficiency and demand-side management programs), certain operation and maintenance expenses, (including vegetation management and wildfire insurance), and repayment of bonds and financing costs of SCE Recovery Funding LLC. SCE earns no return on these activities.

Earning Activities

Earning activities in 2023 compared to 2022 were primarily affected by the following:

Column 1Column 2
Higher operating revenue of $4 million is primarily due to:
Column 1Column 2Column 3
An increase of CPUC-related revenue of $411 million due to the escalation mechanism set forth in the 2021 GRC decision.
Column 1Column 2Column 3
A decrease of CPUC-related revenue of $358 million due to lower wildfire-related expenses that had been

authorized for recovery during 2022 through Track 2 and Track 3.

Column 1Column 2Column 3
A decrease of CPUC-related revenue of $49 million related to lower CSRP revenue requirements approved in 2023 than in 2022.
Column 1Column 2
Lower operation and maintenance costs of $482 million primarily due to the following:
Column 1Column 2Column 3
In 2022, SCE recognized $404 million of previously deferred wildfire-related expenses upon approval of Track 2 and Track 3, compared to $54 million previously deferred expenses recognized in 2023 primarily related to the Track 3 in 2023. These wildfire-related expenses were offset in revenue.
Column 1Column 2Column 3
In 2022, SCE recognized a charge of $95 million related to the POD on SCE's Upstream Lighting Program. This consisted of $76 million of disallowed costs reclassified from cost recovery activities and $19 million of fines.

Table of Contents

Column 1Column 2Column 3
Lower uncollectible expenses of $40 million primarily due to prior period expenses not subject to cost recovery recorded in 2022. A CPUC decision in 2022 required SCE to change its methodology for calculating the portion of uncollectible expenses incremental to GRC authorized revenues.
Column 1Column 2Column 3
In 2023, SCE recognized a probable disallowance of $30 million related to the 2021 NDCTP. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Decommissioning of San Onofre" for more information.
Column 1Column 2
Wildfire-related claim charges were $665 million and $1.3 billion in 2023 and 2022, respectively, primarily related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."
Column 1Column 2
Higher depreciation and amortization expense of $48 million primarily due to increased plant balances, partially offset by the CSRP decision received in 2022, which authorized SCE to recover $134 million of previously deferred depreciation expense.
Column 1Column 2
Higher property and other taxes of $57 million primarily due to higher property assessed value in 2023.
Column 1Column 2
Impairments were recorded in 2022, of which $17 million related to the CPUC decision in Track 3 and $47 million related to a settlement agreement between SCE and TURN in the CSRP proceeding during 2022.
Column 1Column 2
Higher interest expense of $335 million primarily due to higher interest rates on long-term debt, short-term debt and balancing account overcollections, as well as increased long-term borrowings.
Column 1Column 2
Higher other income of $197 million primarily due to higher interest rates applied to balancing account undercollections.
Column 1Column 2
See "Income Taxes" below for the explanation of $293 million increase in income tax expenses.
Column 1Column 2
Higher preference stock dividend requirements of $16 million primarily due to dividends paid on Series E preference stock at a higher rate. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14. Equity— Preferred and Preference Stock of Utility."

Cost-Recovery Activities

Cost-recovery activities in 2023 compared to 2022 were primarily affected by the following:

Column 1Column 2
Lower purchased power and fuel costs of $889 million, primarily due to lower prices and volumes for both purchased power and gas, partially offset by hedging activities.
Column 1Column 2
Lower operation and maintenance costs of $106 million primarily due to:
Column 1Column 2Column 3
Lower insurance costs of $218 million due to expansion of SCE's use of customer-funded self-insurance for wildfire-related claims in July 2023.
Column 1Column 2Column 3
A net decrease of $114 million due to lower recognition of previously deferred expenses primarily related to wildfire mitigation, drought restoration, and COVID-19.
Column 1Column 2Column 3
Lower uncollectible expenses of $79 million primarily due to the recognition of $109 million previously deferred uncollectible expenses in the first quarter of 2022.
Column 1Column 2Column 3
In 2023, SCE recognized $209 million of previously deferred incremental wildfire insurance premiums that provided coverage for the last six months of 2020.

Table of Contents

Column 1Column 2Column 3
$76 million of disallowed costs were reclassified to earnings activities related to Upstream Lighting Program in 2022. See "—Earnings Activities" above.
Column 1Column 2
Higher amortization expense, property and other taxes and interest expenses of $26 million, $12 million, and $16 million, respectively, primarily due to recovery of expenses associated with AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures financed through securitization.
Column 1Column 2
Lower other income of $37 million primarily driven by lower net periodic benefit income related to the non-service cost components for SCE's pension and PBOP. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 9. Compensation and Benefit Plans" for further information.

Supplemental Operating Revenue Information

As a result of the CPUC-authorized decoupling mechanism, SCE revenues are not affected by changes in retail electricity sales.

Income Taxes

Higher income tax expense of $293 million in 2023 compared to 2022 (a tax benefit was recorded in 2022) was primarily driven by the increase in pre-tax income and lower tax benefit associated with CSRP revenue recovery in 2023. The effective tax rates were 10.3% and (12.9)% for 2023 and 2022, respectively. SCE's effective tax rate is below the federal statutory rate of 21% for 2023 and 2022 primarily due to the CPUC's ratemaking treatment for the current tax benefit arising from certain property-related and other temporary differences, which reverse over time. The accounting treatment for these temporary differences results in recording regulatory assets and liabilities for amounts that would otherwise be recorded to deferred income tax expense.

See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes" for a reconciliation of the federal statutory rate to the effective income tax rates.

Edison International Parent and Other

Results of operations for Edison International Parent and Other include amounts from other subsidiaries that are not reportable as segments, as well as intercompany eliminations.

Table of Contents

The net loss attributable to common shareholders from operations of Edison International Parent and Other increased $42 million in 2023 compared to 2022 primarily due to higher interest expense, partially offset by gains on preferred stock repurchases of $16 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

SCE

SCE's ability to operate its business, fund capital expenditures, and implement its business strategy is dependent upon its cash flow and access to the bank and capital markets. SCE's overall cash flows fluctuate based on, among other things, its ability to recover its costs in a timely manner from its customers through regulated rates, changes in commodity prices and volumes, collateral requirements, interest obligations, dividend payments to and equity contributions from Edison International, obligations to preference shareholders, and the outcome of tax, regulatory and legal matters.

In the next 12 months, SCE expects to fund its cash requirements through operating cash flows, and capital market and bank financings. SCE also has availability under its credit facility to fund cash requirements. SCE also expects to issue additional debt for general corporate purposes, and to finance and refinance debt issued for payment of claims and expenses related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events.

SCE issued securitized bonds in the amounts of $775 million, $533 million, and $338 million in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, to finance the required AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures and related financing costs. For more information, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."

The following table summarizes SCE's current long-term issuer credit ratings and outlook from the major credit rating agencies:

Moody'sFitchS&P
Credit RatingBaa1BBBBBB

SCE's credit ratings may be affected if, among other things, regulators fail to successfully implement AB 1054 in a consistent and credit supportive manner, or the Wildfire Insurance Fund is depleted by claims from catastrophic wildfires. Credit rating downgrades increase the cost and may impact the availability of short-term and long-term borrowings, including commercial paper, credit facilities, bond financings or other borrowings. In addition, some of SCE's power procurement contracts and environmental remediation obligations would require SCE to pay related liabilities or post additional collateral if SCE's credit rating were to fall below investment grade. For further details, see "—Margin and Collateral Deposits."

Available Liquidity

At December 31, 2023, SCE had cash on hand of $214 million and approximately $1.8 billion available to borrow on its $3.4 billion revolving credit facility. The credit facility is available for borrowing needs until May 2027. The aggregate maximum principal amount under the SCE revolving credit facility may be increased up to $4.0 billion, provided that additional lender commitments are obtained. SCE also has standby letters of credit with total capacity of $625 million, and the unused amount was $572 million as of December 31, 2023. For further details, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."

At December 31, 2023, SCE had $1.6 billion outstanding commercial paper, net of discount, at a weighted average interest rate of 5.82%. In January 2024, SCE issued $500 million and $900 million of first and refunding mortgage

bonds due in 2027 and 2034, respectively. The proceeds were used to repay part of the commercial paper borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2023, fund the payment of wildfire claims and related expenses above insurance proceeds, and for general corporate purposes.

SCE may finance balancing account undercollections and working capital requirements to support operations and capital expenditures with commercial paper, its credit facilities or other borrowings, subject to availability in the bank and capital markets. As necessary, SCE will utilize its available liquidity, capital market financings, other borrowings or parent company contributions to SCE equity in order to meet its obligations as they become due, including costs related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. For further information, see "Management Overview—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."

Debt Covenant

SCE's credit facilities and term loan require a debt to total capitalization ratio as defined in the applicable agreements of less than or equal to 0.65 to 1. At December 31, 2023, SCE's debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.56 to 1.

At December 31, 2023, SCE was in compliance with all financial covenants that affect access to capital.

Regulatory Proceedings

Wildfire Related Regulatory Proceedings

In response to the increase in wildfire activity, and faster progression of and increased damage from wildfires across SCE's service territory and throughout California, SCE has incurred wildfire mitigation, wildfire insurance and wildfire and drought restoration related spending at levels significantly exceeding amounts authorized in SCE's GRCs.

2021 GRC Wildfire Mitigation Memorandum Account Balances

The 2021 GRC decision authorized the establishment of balancing accounts for expenses for vegetation management, wildfire insurance, and the WCCP program, with expenditures up to certain thresholds approved for cost recovery. SCE may submit subsequent reasonableness review applications for any spending in excess of these thresholds. SCE has incurred vegetation management expenses and capital expenditures for WCCP in excess of thresholds established in the 2021 GRC. SCE has also incurred costs in excess of amounts authorized in the 2021 GRC related to other wildfire mitigation activities, including inspections and maintenance and to support execution of PSPS events.

In June 2022, SCE filed an application with the CPUC requesting reasonableness review of the incremental costs incurred in 2021 related to non-WCCP wildfire mitigation and vegetation management activities, requesting a total revenue requirement of approximately $327 million. In February 2024, the CPUC issued a proposed decision that, if adopted, will authorize a total revenue requirement of $310 million, along with ongoing capital revenue requirements and interest. These revenue requirements will be amortized over 12 months.

In October 2023, SCE requested authority to recover revenue requirements associated with 2022 operations and maintenance and capital expenditures above levels authorized in wildfire mitigation accounts and the vegetation management balancing account. The revenue requirement, including interest, is currently estimated at $384 million. In January 2024, SCE filed a supplemental motion for interim rate recovery to include $210 million of these costs and associated interest in revenue requirements beginning March 1, 2024.

2020 Emergency Wildfire Restoration

Multiple wildfires occurred during 2020 which caused damage within SCE's service territory and to SCE's Big Creek hydroelectric facility.

In March 2022, SCE filed a catastrophic event memorandum account application requesting recovery of $207 million of

18

Table of Contents

operation and maintenance expenses incremental to authorized revenue requirements and $312 million of capital expenditures incremental to amounts authorized in the 2021 GRC primarily related to these restoration efforts. SCE has not yet filed for recovery of generation restoration costs, as repairs to hydroelectric generation facilities are not complete.

2024 FERC Formula Rate Annual Update

In November 2023, SCE filed its 2024 annual transmission revenue requirement update with the FERC, with the rate effective January 1, 2024. The update reflects a $1.1 billion transmission revenue requirement for 2024, $290 million or 20% lower than amounts included in the 2023 annual rates. The decrease is primarily due to returning an overcollection based on actual 2022 costs and lower wildfire-related claims.

Building Electrification Programs Application

In December 2021, SCE filed a $677 million Building Electrification Program Application for a four-year program (2024 – 2027) to incentivize replacing 250,000 gas-fueled water and space heaters with efficient electric heat pumps and to upgrade or enhance the electrical infrastructure for 65,000 homes to support electrification. The proposed program included $200 million for customer-side electrical infrastructure upgrades for which SCE requested inclusion as a regulatory asset in rate base, $69 million in capital expenditures and $408 million of operations and maintenance expense including heat pump incentives, program administration, and implementation costs. In January 2024, the CPUC issued a decision denying the application in its entirety.

Column 1Column 2
3In June 2023, SCE filed an amended application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity ("CPCN") with technical design modifications and engineering refinements to the proposed project that decreases project costs and reduces GHG emissions. Accordingly, the direct expenditures of the project are estimated to be reduced from $486 million to $472 million. SCE is unable to predict the timing of a final CPUC decision and the final project costs for the Alberhill System Project.

Riverside Transmission Reliability Project

The Riverside Transmission Reliability Project is a joint project between SCE and Riverside Public Utilities ("RPU"), the municipal utility department of the City of Riverside. While RPU will be responsible for constructing some of the project's facilities within Riverside, SCE's portion of the project consists of constructing upgrades to its system, including a new 230 kV substation; certain interconnection and telecommunication facilities and overhead transmission

19

Table of Contents

lines in the cities of Riverside, Jurupa Valley and Norco and in portions of unincorporated Riverside County. In May 2022, the RCC voted to investigate alternatives to the CPUC approved project. Consequently, SCE suspended all major activities on the project. In January 2023, the RCC voted to establish a working group to pursue funding for additional undergrounding. On October 2, 2023, the City of Norco filed a PFM to modify the CPUC decision approving the project and reopen the record to reconsider full undergrounding. In November 2023, SCE filed a response opposing the PFM.

Alberhill System Project

The Alberhill System Project consists of constructing a new 500 kV substation, two 500 kV transmission lines to connect the proposed substation to the existing Serrano-Valley 500 kV transmission line, telecommunication equipment and subtransmission lines in western Riverside County. The project was designed to meet long-term forecasted electrical demand in the proposed Alberhill System Project area and to increase electrical system reliability and resiliency. In April 2018 and July 2018, the CPUC issued a proposed decision and an alternate proposed decision, both denying SCE's ability to construct the Alberhill System Project based on a perceived lack of need. SCE filed comments on both proposed decisions requesting that the CPUC grant the CPCN for the Alberhill System Project. In August 2018, the CPUC issued a decision that did not deny or approve the Alberhill System Project but directed SCE to submit supplemental information on the Alberhill System Project including but not limited to a load forecast and cost benefit analysis of several alternatives to the proposed project. Ongoing capital spending has been deferred as a result of the CPUC request for additional information. In January 2020, SCE submitted a supplemental analysis to the CPUC for the Alberhill System Project including several alternatives to the proposed project as well as an update to the original project cost. A final decision on the Alberhill System Project remains pending. In June 2023, SCE filed an amended CPCN with technical design modifications and engineering refinements to the proposed project that decrease project costs and reduce GHG emissions. Given the uncertainty associated with the resolution of the permitting process, potential revisions to the project have not been reflected in total direct expenditures. SCE continues to believe a system solution is needed for the project area but is unable to predict the timing of a final CPUC decision in connection with the Alberhill System Project proceeding.

Approximately 48% of the Alberhill System Project costs spent to date would be subject to recovery through CPUC revenue and 52% through FERC revenue. In October 2017, SCE obtained approval from the FERC for abandoned plant treatment for the Alberhill System Project, which allows SCE to seek recovery of 100% of all prudently incurred costs after the approval date and 50% of prudently incurred costs prior to the approval date. Excluding land costs, which may be recovered through sale to a third party, SCE has incurred approximately $62 million of capital expenditures, including overhead costs, of which approximately $44 million may not be recoverable if the project is cancelled as of December 31, 2023.

Eldorado-Lugo-Mohave Upgrade Project

The Eldorado-Lugo-Mohave Upgrade Project will increase capacity on existing transmission lines to allow additional renewable energy to flow from Nevada to southern California. The project would modify SCE's existing Eldorado, Lugo, and Mohave electrical substations to accommodate the increased power flows from Nevada to southern California; increase the power flow through the existing 500 kV transmission lines by constructing two new capacitors along the lines; raise transmission tower heights to meet ground clearance requirements; and install fiber optics on the transmission lines to provide communications between existing SCE substations. In August 2020, the CPUC approved the CPCN for the project.

Construction for the project began in November 2020. The total costs for the Eldorado-Lugo-Mohave Upgrade Project are expected to exceed amounts currently approved in the CPCN granted by the CPUC due to delays in regulatory approvals, contractor performance issues, supply chain constraints, COVID-19 impacts and the availability of CAISO outage windows. In May 2023, SCE filed a Petition for Modification of the decision that approved the project to increase the maximum reasonable and prudent cost for the project, which increased the direct expenditures from $247 million to

20

Table of Contents

$319 million. SCE expects the project to be in service in 2024. Additional work after the in-service date is also required to mitigate the impact of the project on nearby natural gas transmission lines. Current estimation of the additional work is approximately $64 million. A further Petition for Modification is expected to be filed before the authorized spending is exceeded.

Utility Owned Storage Projects

In October 2021, SCE contracted with Ameresco, Inc. ("Ameresco") for the construction of utility owned energy storage projects at three sites in SCE's service territory with an aggregate capacity of 537.5 MW, consisting of a 225 MW project, a 200 MW project and a 112.5 MW project, and an in-service date of August 1, 2022. Ameresco has advised SCE that it currently expects all three projects to be in-service prior to June 2024.

In April 2022, SCE received a force majeure event notice from Ameresco in which Ameresco asserted that both manufacturing delays related to COVID-19 shut-downs in China and new shipping restrictions imposed by Chinese governmental authorities were then impacting the supply of batteries from China necessary for timely completion of the projects. Ameresco subsequently supplemented its force majeure notice noting additional supply chain issues related to COVID-19. Permitting delays and engineering issues and certain changes requested by SCE also impacted the projects in 2022. SCE expects to receive in aggregate approximately $270 million of tax credits available under the IRA for all three projects, which will accrue to the benefit of its customers. In January 2023, SCE received a force majeure event notice from Ameresco in which Ameresco asserted that severe winter storms in Southern California had impacted the timely completion of the projects.

In April 2023, Ameresco discovered damage to some of the equipment at the 225 MW project. Ameresco has sent SCE a notice of potential force majeure event and has concluded that the damage was caused by soil heave and that the soil heave was caused by extreme rainstorms at the project site in the winter of 2022 – 2023. Ameresco is performing corrective action in response to the damage discovered in 2023.

SCE is continuing to evaluate the force majeure event notices and is awaiting additional information from Ameresco on the underlying events. If there is a valid force majeure event under the contracts with Ameresco, subject to certain conditions, the project schedules and any related triggers of liquidated damages may be extended, and the contract prices may be increased to account for the impact of the force majeure event. Because Ameresco did not achieve an in-service date of August 1, 2022, SCE is entitled to liquidated damages under the terms of the contracts subject to any relief Ameresco may be entitled to under the contracts, including any relief for any valid force majeure events. Once triggered, liquidated damages accrue daily for up to 60 days up to a maximum of $89 million in aggregate for all three projects.

Subject to reductions for any liquidated damages SCE is paid, SCE currently expects these storage projects to result in $1.0 billion of capital expenditures. In December 2021, the CPUC approved recovery of these expenditures and establishment of a balancing account for the associated revenue requirement, which have been reflected in rates beginning in the first quarter of 2022. Authorized revenue requirements will be included in the annual ERRA review proceeding and can only be disallowed upon a finding that SCE failed to prudently administer the contracts.

Ameresco has obtained surety bonds to secure its obligations to complete the construction of the projects, and is also required to obtain surety bonds or letters of credit after completion of the projects to secure its performance obligations, including its warranty obligations. If Ameresco is unable to fulfill its obligations and the amounts available under any surety bonds or letters of credit are insufficient or the issuer of any such surety bonds or letters of credit disputes coverage or otherwise does not perform or pay for the performance of Ameresco’s obligations, SCE will incur additional costs beyond its contractual obligations.

Decommissioning of San Onofre

The decommissioning of a nuclear plant requires the management of three related activities: radiological decommissioning, non-radiological decommissioning and the management of spent nuclear fuel. SCE is the operating agent of San Onofre and has engaged the DGC to undertake a significant scope of decommissioning activities for Units 1, 2 and 3 at San Onofre. The decommissioning of San Onofre is expected to take many years. SCE funds decommissioning costs, including costs associated with storing spent nuclear fuel, with assets that are currently held in nuclear decommissioning trusts.

Under federal law, the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") is responsible for the selection and construction of a facility for the permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. The DOE has not met its contractual obligation to accept spent nuclear fuel. Extended delays by the DOE have led to the construction of costly alternatives and associated siting and environmental issues. Two Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations ("ISFSI") store nuclear fuel onsite at San Onofre. The first primarily stores nuclear fuel from Unit 1 ("ISFSI 1") and the second stores nuclear fuel from Units 2 and 3 ("ISFSI 2").

SCE's Coastal Development Permits, the principal discretionary permits required for major decommissioning activities, extend through 2035.

Decommissioning of San Onofre Unit 1 began in 1999 and the transfer of spent nuclear fuel from Unit 1 to dry cask storage in ISFSI 1 was completed in 2005. Major decommissioning work for Unit 1 has been completed except for certain underground work.

Decommissioning of San Onofre Units 2 and 3 began in June 2013 and the transfer of spent nuclear fuel from San Onofre Units 2 and 3 to dry cask storage in the two ISFSIs was completed in August 2020. In August 2020, SCE commenced, and is currently conducting, major decommissioning activities in accordance with the terms of the Coastal Developmental Permit for San Onofre Units 2 and 3.

In 2021, SCE updated its decommissioning cost estimate for decommissioning activities to be completed at San Onofre Units 2 and 3 to $3.4 billion (SCE share is $2.6 billion) in 2021 dollars. The decommissioning cost estimate included costs through the expected decommissioning completion date, currently estimated to be in 2053 for San Onofre Units 2 and 3. SCE requested approval of its updated decommissioning cost estimate from the CPUC in February 2022 as part of its 2021 NDCTP filing. Decommissioning cost estimates are subject to a number of uncertainties including the cost and timing of nuclear waste disposal, the time it will take to obtain required permits, cost of removal of property, site remediation costs, as well as a number of other assumptions and estimates, including when the federal government will provide for either interim or permanent off-site storage of spent nuclear fuel enabling the removal and transport of spent fuel canisters from the San Onofre site, as to which there can be no assurance. Cost estimates are subject to change as decommissioning proceeds and such changes may be material.

SCE's share of the San Onofre Units 2 and 3 decommissioning costs recorded during 2023 and 2022 were $226 million (in 2023 dollars) and $187 million (in 2022 dollars), respectively. The CPUC conducts a reasonableness review of recorded decommissioning costs in NDCTPs.

In the 2021 NDCTP, filed in February 2022, SCE requested reasonableness review of approximately $570 million (SCE share in 2022 dollars) of recorded San Onofre Units 2 and 3 decommissioning costs incurred during the period 2018 to

22

Table of Contents

2020. In May 2023, SCE entered into a settlement with the relevant intervenors under which, subject to CPUC approval, SCE agreed to a disallowance in the 2021 NDCTP of approximately $30 million. SCE has accrued for this disallowance.

SCE had nuclear decommissioning trust funds for San Onofre Units 2 and 3 of $2.2 billion at both December 31, 2023 and 2022. Based upon the resolution of a number of uncertainties, including the uncertainties of decommissioning discussed above, the financial performance of the nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments, as well as the resolution of a number of other assumptions and estimates, additional contributions to the nuclear decommissioning trust's funds may be required. If additional contributions to the nuclear decommissioning trust funds become necessary, SCE will seek recovery of additional contributions to the decommissioning trust through electric rates and any such recovery will be subject to a reasonableness review by the CPUC. Cost increases resulting from contractual disputes, delays in performance by the contractor, elevated levels of inflation, or permitting delays, among other things, could cause SCE to materially overrun the decommissioning cost estimate and could materially impact the sufficiency of trust funds.

In December 2023, the CPUC approved disbursements from SCE's nuclear decommissioning trusts to cover forecasted 2024 decommissioning costs for San Onofre Units 2 and 3, of which SCE's share is approximately $300 million in 2024 dollars.

Margin and Collateral Deposits

Certain derivative instruments, power and energy procurement contracts and other contractual arrangements contain collateral requirements. In addition, certain environmental remediation obligations require financial assurance that may be in the form of collateral postings. Future collateral requirements may differ from the requirements at December 31, 2023 due to the addition of incremental power and energy procurement contracts with collateral requirements, if any, the impact of changes in wholesale power and natural gas prices on SCE's contractual obligations, and the impact of SCE's credit ratings falling below investment grade.

The table below provides the amount of collateral posted by SCE to its counterparties as well as the potential collateral that would have been required as of December 31, 2023, if SCE's credit rating had been downgraded to below investment grade as of that date. The table below also provides the potential collateral that could be required due to adverse changes in wholesale power and natural gas prices over the remaining lives of existing power and fuel derivative contracts.

In addition to amounts shown in the table, power and fuel contract counterparties may also institute new collateral requirements, applicable to future transactions to allow SCE to continue trading in power and fuel contracts at the time of a downgrade or upon significant increases in market prices. Furthermore, SCE may also be required to post up to $50 million in collateral in connection with its environmental remediation obligations, within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year in which a downgrade below investment grade occurs.

Edison International Parent and Other

In the next 12 months, Edison International expects to fund its net cash requirements through cash on hand, dividends from SCE, and capital market and bank financings. Edison International may finance its ongoing cash requirements, including dividends, working capital requirements, payment of obligations, and capital investments, including capital contributions to subsidiaries, with short-term or other financings, subject to availability in the bank and capital markets.

At December 31, 2023, Edison International Parent had cash on hand of $131 million and $1.3 billion available to borrow on its $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. The credit facility is available for borrowing needs until May 2027.

At December 31, 2023 Edison International Parent had $246 million outstanding commercial paper, net of discount, at a weighted-average interest rate of 5.82% supported by the $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. The aggregate maximum principal amount under the Edison International Parent revolving credit facility may be increased up to $2.0 billion, provided that additional lender commitments are obtained. For further details, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."

Edison International Parent has $500 million of debt maturities arising in the next 12 months. Edison International expects to issue debt to refinance these maturities.

Edison International Parent maintains a program to sell shares of its common stock with aggregate sales price up to $500 million, including through designated broker-dealers at prevailing market prices (an "at-the-market" offering). For further information, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14. Equity."

In November 2023, Edison International repurchased 61,497 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock and 84,223 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock through a tender offer. In December 2023, Edison International repurchased 29,186 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock and 133,323 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock on the open market. The aggregate amount paid, including accrued and unpaid dividends, was $133 million for the tender offer repurchase and $155 million for the open market repurchase. Edison International paid the consideration and the fees and expenses incurred with cash on hand and proceeds of debt issuances. For further information, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14. Equity."

On February 22, 2024, Edison International declared a dividend of $0.78 per share to be paid on April 30, 2024. Edison International Parent and Other's liquidity and its ability to pay operating expenses and pay dividends to common shareholders are dependent on access to the bank and capital markets, dividends from SCE, realization of tax benefits and its ability to meet California law requirements for the declaration of dividends. Prior to declaring dividends, Edison

International's Board of Directors evaluates available information, including when applicable, information pertaining to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, to ensure that the California law requirements for the declarations are met. For information on the California law requirements on the declaration of dividends, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—SCE Dividends." Edison International intends to maintain its target payout ratio of 45% – 55% of SCE's core earnings, subject to the factors identified above.

Edison International's ability to declare and pay common dividends may be restricted under the terms of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock. For further information see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14. Equity."

Edison International Parent's credit facility requires a consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio as defined in the applicable agreements of less than or equal to 0.70 to 1. At December 31, 2023, Edison International's consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.63 to 1.

At December 31, 2023, Edison International Parent was in compliance with all financial covenants that affect access to capital.

The following table summarizes Edison International Parent's current long-term issuer credit ratings and outlook from the major credit rating agencies:

Moody'sFitchS&P
Credit RatingBaa2BBBBBB
OutlookStableStableStable

Edison International Parent's credit ratings may be affected if, among other things, regulators fail to successfully implement AB 1054 in a consistent and credit supportive manner, or the Wildfire Insurance Fund is depleted by claims from catastrophic wildfires. Credit rating downgrades increase the cost and may impact the availability of short-term and long-term borrowings, including commercial paper, credit facilities, note financings or other borrowings.

Edison International Income Taxes

Net Operating Loss and Tax Credit Carryforwards

Edison International has approximately $3.4 billion of tax effected net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards at December 31, 2023 (after excluding $106 million of Capistrano Wind attributes and offsetting $363 million of unrecognized tax benefits), which are available to offset future consolidated tax liabilities.

See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes" for further information regarding taxes payable to Capistrano Wind.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the IRA was signed into law. The law imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax ("CAMT") on adjusted financial statement income ("AFSI") of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1.0 billion over a specified 3-year period. The CAMT was effective beginning January 1, 2023. Based on the current interpretation of the law and historical financial data, Edison International estimates that it will exceed the $1.0 billion threshold and be subject to CAMT on its consolidated federal tax returns beginning in 2025. SCE also expects to be subject to CAMT on its stand-alone federal return beginning in 2025.

The law also includes significant extensions, expansions, and enhancements of numerous energy-related investment tax credits, as well as creating new credits applicable to electricity production which may apply to SCE's capital expenditures. Under the IRA, SCE expects to generate investment tax credits related to its utility owned storage projects, which will accrue to the benefit of its customers.

4Includes nuclear decommissioning trusts. See “Nuclear Decommissioning Activities” below for further information. Also includes changes in wildfire-related insurance receivables.

Net cash provided by operating activities was impacted by the following:

Net income and non-cash items increased in 2023 by $921 million from 2022 primarily due to higher revenue due to the escalation mechanism as set forth in the 2021 GRC final decision and higher interest income on balancing account undercollections and lower wildfire estimated losses, partially offset by higher interest expense.

Net cash (outflow) inflow for working capital was $(762) million and $327 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively. The net cash outflow for working capital for 2023 was primarily due to decrease in payables of $402 million driven by payments on power purchase contracts and a decrease in gas price from December 2022, and increases in customer receivables and unbilled revenue of approximately $300 million due to various customer protection programs in place. The net cash inflow for working capital for 2022 was mainly due to an increase in payables of $343 million driven by

26

Table of Contents

higher payables on power purchase contracts and a net decrease of $24 million in customer receivables and unbilled revenue primarily from $387 million of CAPP funds received in 2022, partially offset by lower collections.

Net cash used in regulatory assets and liabilities, including the increase in net undercollections of balancing and memorandum accounts, was affected by differences between timing of collection of amounts through rates and accrual expenditures. Cash inflows of $576 million in 2023 were primarily due to recovery of prior year undercollections, partially offset by current year undercollections due to lower sales volume driven by mild weather. Cash outflows of $51 million in 2022 were primarily due to increased undercollections driven by higher energy prices and power purchase load, partially offset by recovery of prior year undercollections and current year higher sales volume and average rates driven by extreme heat in California.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities are primarily due to capital expenditures and funding of nuclear decommissioning trusts. Cash used in capital expenditures were $5.4 billion, $5.8 billion and $5.5 billion for 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily related to transmission, distribution and generation investments. SCE had a net redemption of nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $180 million, $123 million and $256 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. See "Nuclear Decommissioning Activities" below for further discussion.

Net cash used in operating activities relates to interest and dividends less administrative expenses, taxes and SCE's decommissioning costs. Investing activities represent the purchase and sale of investments within the nuclear decommissioning trusts, including the reinvestment of earnings from nuclear decommissioning trust investments.

Funds for decommissioning costs are requested from the nuclear decommissioning trusts one month in advance. Decommissioning disbursements are funded from sales of investments of the nuclear decommissioning trusts. The net cash impact reflects timing of decommissioning payments ($229 million, $189 million and $238 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively) and reimbursements to SCE from the nuclear decommissioning trust ($222 million, $201 million and $225 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively).

Contractual Obligations and Contingencies

Contractual Obligations

SCE and Edison International Parent and Other have various contractual obligations, which are recorded as liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Other items, such as certain purchase commitments and other executory contracts, are not recognized as liabilities in the consolidated financial statements but are required to be disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

For details on long-term debt, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."

Certain power purchase agreements which SCE entered into with independent power producers are treated as operating or finance leases. In addition, SCE has other operating lease obligations primarily related to vehicles, office space and other equipment. For further discussion, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies" and "—Note 13. Leases."

SCE also has other purchase obligations primarily related to maintaining reliability and expanding SCE's transmission and distribution system and nuclear fuel supply contracts. For further discussion, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies."

Edison International Parent and Other and SCE have estimated contributions to the pension and PBOP plans. These amounts represent estimates that are based on assumptions that are subject to change. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 9. Compensation and Benefit Plans" for further information.

Edison International and SCE have a total net liability recorded for uncertain tax positions. Edison International and SCE cannot make reliable estimates of the cash flows by period due to uncertainty surrounding the timing of resolving these

open tax issues with the tax authorities. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes" for further information.

For details on derivative obligations and asset retirement obligations, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 6. Derivative Instruments" and "—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," respectively.

Contingencies

Edison International's and SCE's contingencies are discussed in "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies."

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

SCE has variable interests in power purchase contracts with variable interest entities and a variable interest in unconsolidated Trust II, Trust III, Trust IV, Trust V, Trust VI and Trust VII that issued $220 million of 5.10%, $275 million of 5.75%, $325 million of 5.375%, $300 million of 5.45%, $475 million of 5.00% and $550 million of 7.50% trust securities, respectively, to the public. All dollar amounts shown are the aggregate liquidation preference. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 3. Variable Interest Entities."

MARKET RISK EXPOSURES

Edison International's and SCE's primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates, commodity prices and volumes, and counterparty credit. Derivative instruments are used to manage market risks including market risks to SCE's customers. For further discussion of market risk exposures, including commodity price risk, credit risk and interest rate risk, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 6. Derivative Instruments" and "—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements."

Interest Rate Risk

Edison International and SCE are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of financing, investing and borrowing activities used for liquidity purposes, and to fund business operations and capital investments. The nature and amount of Edison International's and SCE's long-term and short-term debt can be expected to vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. Fluctuations in interest rates can affect earnings and cash flows. Changes in interest rates may impact SCE's authorized rate of return for the period beyond 2024 through a CPUC cost of capital adjustment mechanism, see "Management Overview—Cost of Capital Trigger" and "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process" for further discussion. The following table summarizes the increase or decrease to the fair value of long-term debt including the current portion, if the market interest rates were changed while leaving all other assumptions the same:

(in millions)Carrying ValueFair Value10% Increase10% Decrease
Edison International:
December 31, 2023$33,013$31,315$30,060$32,684

December 31, 202226,25823,46922,44424,590

Commodity Price Risk

SCE and its customers are exposed to the risk of a change in the market price of natural gas, electric power and transmission congestion. Due to regulatory mechanisms, exposure to commodity prices is not expected to impact earnings but may impact timing of cash flows. SCE's hedging program is designed to reduce exposure to variability in market prices related to SCE's purchases and sales of electric power and natural gas. As part of this program, SCE enters

30

Table of Contents

into energy options, swaps, forward arrangements and congestion revenue rights ("CRRs"). The transactions are pre-approved by the CPUC or executed in compliance with CPUC-approved procurement plans. Therefore, SCE expects recovery of its related hedging costs, as well as procurement costs, through the ERRA balancing account or CPUC-approved procurement plans. For more details of the ERRA balancing account, see "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process."

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The fair value of derivative instruments is included in the consolidated balance sheets unless subject to an exception under the applicable accounting guidance. Realized gains and losses from derivative instruments are expected to be recovered from or refunded to customers through regulatory mechanisms and, accordingly, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments have no impact on earnings. SCE does not use hedge accounting for these transactions due to this regulatory accounting treatment. For further discussion on fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements."

The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments used to mitigate exposure to commodity price risk was a net asset of $91 million and $240 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The following table summarizes the increase or decrease to the fair values of the net asset of derivative instruments included in the consolidated balance sheets, if the electricity prices or gas prices were changed while leaving all other assumptions constant:

Increase in electricity prices by 10%$26$22
Decrease in electricity prices by 10%(26)(22)
Increase in gas prices by 10%540
Decrease in gas prices by 10%(5)(40)

Investment Price Risk

Edison International and SCE are subject to investment price risk due to securities held as investments in the nuclear decommissioning trust and various pension and other post-retirement benefit plan trusts.

Nuclear Decommissioning Trust

As of December 31, 2023, SCE's nuclear decommissioning trust investments include equity investments of $1.7 billion and fixed income investments of $2.3 billion. These investments are exposed to price fluctuations in equity markets and changes in interest rates. SCE's investment policies and CPUC requirements place limitations on the types and investment grade ratings of the securities that may be held by the nuclear decommissioning trust. These policies restrict the trust from holding alternative investments and limit the trust funds' exposures to investments in highly illiquid markets. Due to regulatory mechanisms, investment earnings and realized and unrealized gains and losses increase or decrease the trust assets and the related regulatory asset or liability, and do not materially affect earnings. For further discussion on the nuclear decommissioning trust investments, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements" and "—Note 10. Investments."

PBOP and Pension Plan Assets

The PBOP Plan and the Southern California Edison Company Retirement Plan Trust assets include investments in equity securities, U.S. treasury securities, other fixed-income securities, common/collective funds, mutual funds, other investment entities, foreign exchange and interest rate contracts, and partnership/joint ventures. These investments are exposed to price fluctuations in equity markets and changes in interest rates. The investment of plan assets is overseen by a fiduciary investment committee. Risk is managed through diversification among multiple asset classes, managers,

31

Table of Contents

styles and securities. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 9. Compensation and Benefit Plans" for additional information regarding investment strategy of plan assets.

Contributions related to SCE employees made to SCE pension plan are anticipated to be recovered through CPUC-approved regulatory mechanisms.

Credit Risk

Credit risk exposure from counterparties for power and gas trading activities is measured as the sum of net accounts receivable (accounts receivable less accounts payable) and the current fair value of net derivative assets (derivative assets less derivative liabilities) reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. SCE enters into master agreements which typically provide for a right of set-off. Accordingly, SCE's credit risk exposure from counterparties is based on a net exposure under these arrangements. SCE manages the credit risk on the portfolio of counterparties based on credit ratings and other publicly disclosed information, such as financial statements, regulatory filings and press releases, to guide it in the process of setting credit levels, risk limits and contractual arrangements, including master netting agreements. Based on SCE's policies and risk exposures related to credit, SCE does not anticipate a material adverse effect on their financial statements as a result of counterparty nonperformance. At December 31, 2023, SCE's power and gas trading counterparty credit risk exposure was $91 million, all of which is associated with entities that have an investment grade rating of A or higher. SCE assigns a credit rating to counterparties based on the lowest of a counterparty's S&P's, Moody's and Fitch's rating.

For more information related to credit risks, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 6. Derivative Instruments."

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES

The accounting policies described below are considered critical to obtaining an understanding of Edison International's and SCE's consolidated financial statements because their application requires the use of significant estimates and judgments by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Management estimates and judgments are inherently uncertain and may differ significantly from actual results achieved. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if the estimate requires significant assumptions and changes in the estimate or, the use of alternative estimates, could have a material impact on Edison International's and SCE's results of operations or financial position. For more information on Edison International's and SCE's accounting policies, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."

Accounting for Contingencies

Nature of Estimates Required. Edison International and SCE record loss contingencies when management determines that the outcome of future events is probable of occurring and when the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies are recognized in the financial statements when they are realized.

Key Assumptions and Approach Used. The determination of an accrual for a loss contingency is based on management judgment and estimates with respect to the likely outcome of the matter, including the analysis of different scenarios. Liabilities are recorded or adjusted when events or circumstances cause these judgments or estimates to change. In assessing whether a loss is a reasonable possibility, Edison International and SCE may consider the following factors, among others: the nature of the litigation, claim or assessment, opinions or views of legal counsel and other advisors, and the experience gained from similar cases. Edison International and SCE provide disclosures for material contingencies when there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or an additional loss may be incurred.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used. Actual amounts realized upon settlement of contingencies may be different than amounts recorded and disclosed and could have a significant impact on the liabilities, revenue and expenses recorded on

32

Table of Contents

the consolidated financial statements. For a discussion of contingencies, guarantees and indemnities, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies."

Application to Wildfires

As discussed in "Management Overview," wildfires in SCE's territory have caused loss of life, substantial damage to both residential and business properties, and service outages for SCE customers.

The extent of legal liability for wildfire-related damages in actions against utilities depends on a number of factors, including whether the utility substantially caused or contributed to the damages and whether parties seeking recovery of damages will be required to show negligence in addition to causation. Final determinations of legal liability for wildfire events, including determinations of whether SCE was negligent, would only be made during lengthy and complex litigation processes and settlements may be reached before determinations of legal liability are ever made.

Edison International and SCE have incurred material losses in connection with several wildfires. Estimated losses for wildfire litigation are based on a number of assumptions and are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Actual losses incurred may be higher or lower than estimated based on several factors, including the uncertainty in estimating damages that have been or may be alleged. For instance, SCE will receive additional information with respect to damages claimed as the claims mediation and trial processes progress. Other factors that can cause actual losses incurred to be higher or lower than estimated include the ability to reach settlements and the outcomes of settlements reached through the ongoing claims mediation and trial processes, uncertainties related to the sufficiency of insurance held by plaintiffs, uncertainties related to the litigation processes, including whether plaintiffs will ultimately pursue claims, uncertainty as to the legal and factual determinations to be made during litigation, including uncertainty as to the contributing causes of certain wildfires, and the uncertainty as to how these factors impact future settlements.

For more information related to the loss contingencies of the wildfires, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."

Rate Regulated Enterprises

Nature of Estimate Required.   SCE follows the accounting principles for rate-regulated enterprises which are required for entities whose rates are set by regulators at levels intended to recover the estimated costs of providing service, plus a return on net investment, or rate base. Regulators may also impose penalties or grant incentives. Due to timing and other differences in the collection of revenue, these accounting principles allow a cost that would otherwise be charged as an expense by an unregulated entity to be capitalized as a regulatory asset if it is probable that such cost is recoverable through future rates; conversely the accounting principles require creation of a regulatory liability for amounts collected in rates to recover costs expected to be incurred in the future or amounts collected in excess of costs incurred and refundable to customers. In addition, SCE recognizes revenue and regulatory assets from alternative revenue programs, which enables the utility to adjust future rates in response to past activities or completed events, if certain criteria are met, even for programs that do not qualify for recognition of "traditional" regulatory assets and liabilities.

Accounting principles for rate-regulated enterprises also require recognition of an impairment loss if it becomes probable that the regulated utility will abandon a plant investment, or if it becomes probable that the cost of a recently completed plant will be disallowed, either directly or indirectly, for ratemaking purposes and a reasonable estimate of the amount of the disallowance can be made.

Key Assumptions and Approach Used.   SCE's management assesses at the end of each reporting period whether regulatory assets are probable of future recovery by considering factors such as the current regulatory environment, the issuance of rate orders on recovery of the specific or a similar incurred cost to SCE or other rate-regulated entities, and

33

Table of Contents

other factors that would indicate that the regulator will treat an incurred cost as allowable for ratemaking purposes. Using these factors, management has determined that existing regulatory assets and liabilities are probable of future recovery or settlement. This determination reflects the current regulatory climate and is subject to change in the future. SCE also considers whether any plant investments are probable of abandonment or disallowance.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used.   Significant management judgment is required to evaluate the anticipated recovery of regulatory assets and plant investments, the recognition of incentives and revenue subject to refund, as well as the anticipated cost of regulatory liabilities or penalties. If future recovery of costs ceases to be probable, all or part of the regulatory assets, plant investments and/or liabilities would have to be written off against current period earnings. At December 31, 2023, the consolidated balance sheets included regulatory assets of $11.4 billion and regulatory liabilities of $10.2 billion. If different judgments were reached on recovery of costs and timing of income recognition, SCE's earnings may vary from the amounts reported.

Application to Southern California Wildfires

Application to 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events

Recovery of SCE's losses realized in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events in excess of available insurance is subject to approval by regulators. Under accounting standards for rate-regulated enterprises, SCE defers costs as regulatory assets when it concludes that such costs are probable of future recovery in electric rates. SCE utilizes objectively determinable evidence to form its view on probability of future recovery. The only directly comparable precedent in which a California investor-owned utility has sought recovery for uninsured wildfire claims related costs is SDG&E's requests for cost recovery related to 2007 wildfire activity, where the FERC allowed recovery of all FERC-jurisdictional wildfire claims related costs while the CPUC rejected recovery of all CPUC-jurisdictional wildfire claims related costs based on a determination that SDG&E did not meet the CPUC's prudency standard. As a result, while SCE does not agree with the CPUC's decision, it believes that the CPUC's interpretation and application of the prudency standard to SDG&E creates substantial uncertainty regarding how that standard will be applied to an investor-owned utility in cost-recovery proceedings for wildfire claims related to fires ignited prior to July 12, 2019. SCE will continue to evaluate the probability of recovery based on available evidence, including judicial, legislative and regulatory decisions, including any CPUC decisions illustrating the interpretation and/or application of the prudency standard when making determinations regarding recovery of uninsured wildfire-related costs. While the CPUC has not made a determination regarding SCE's prudency relative to any of the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, SCE is unable to conclude, at this time, that uninsured CPUC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs for these events are probable of recovery through electric rates. SCE would record a regulatory asset at the time it obtains sufficient information to support a conclusion that recovery is probable.

Through the operation of its FERC Formula Rate, and based upon the precedent established in SDG&E's recovery of FERC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs, SCE believes it is probable it will recover its FERC-jurisdictional wildfire and mudslide related costs and has recorded total expected recoveries within the FERC balancing account.

Application to Post-2018 Wildfires

Management judgment is required to assess the probability of recovery of SCE's losses realized in connection with the Post-2018 Wildfires in excess of available insurance.

The CPUC and FERC may not allow SCE to recover uninsured losses through electric rates if it is determined that such losses were not reasonably or prudently incurred. On July 12, 2019, AB 1054 clarified that the CPUC must allow recovery of costs and expenses arising from a covered wildfire if the utility's conduct related to the ignition was consistent with actions that a reasonable utility would have undertaken in good faith under similar circumstances, at the relevant point in time, and based on the information available at that time. Further, utilities with a valid safety

34

Table of Contents

certification at the time of the relevant wildfire will be presumed to have acted prudently related to a wildfire ignition unless a party in the cost recovery proceeding creates "serious doubt" as to the reasonableness of the utility's conduct, at which time, the burden shifts back to the utility to dispel that doubt and prove its conduct was prudent. The serious doubt standard in AB 1054 is modeled after the FERC cost recovery standard. SCE evaluates the probability of recovery of costs related to the Post-2018 Wildfires in the context of the prudency standard laid out by AB 1054 above, including how the FERC applies the serious doubt standard. SCE’s evaluation also relies on its status as a holder of a valid safety certificate, facts and other evidence known to date related to the ignition, and any regulatory decisions illustrating the interpretation and/or application of the prudency standard under AB 1054, which as of December 31, 2023, has not been applied by the CPUC to an actual cost recovery application filed by any California investor-owned utility. SCE also considers which costs are eligible for recovery based on precedent from other CPUC cost recovery proceedings. Management's assessment of the probability of recovery may change, related to changes in any of these factors in the future.

See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides—Post-2018 Wildfires" for further discussion of regulatory assets recorded for Post-2018 Wildfires as of December 31, 2023.

Income Taxes

Nature of Estimates Required.   As part of the process of preparing its consolidated financial statements, Edison International and SCE are required to estimate income taxes for each jurisdiction in which they operate. This process involves estimating actual current period tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depreciation, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within Edison International's and SCE's consolidated balance sheets, including net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Certain estimates and assumptions are required to determine whether deferred tax assets can and will be utilized in future periods. Based on currently enacted tax laws, Edison International expects to generate sufficient taxable income to fully utilize all loss and credit carryovers set to expire beyond 2023.

Edison International and SCE take certain tax positions they believe are in accordance with the applicable tax laws. However, these tax positions are subject to interpretation by the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities and the courts. Edison International and SCE determine uncertain tax positions in accordance with the authoritative guidance.

Key Assumptions and Approach Used.   In determining whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards can be utilized, management analyzes the trend of GAAP earnings and then estimates the impact of future taxable income, reversing temporary differences and available prudent and feasible tax planning strategies based on currently enacted tax laws.

Accounting for tax obligations requires management judgment. Edison International's and SCE's management use judgment in determining whether the evidence indicates it is more likely than not, based solely on the technical merits, that a tax position will be sustained, and to determine the amount of tax benefits to be recognized. Judgment is also used in determining the likelihood a tax position will be settled and possible settlement outcomes. In assessing uncertain tax positions Edison International and SCE consider, among others, the following factors: the facts and circumstances of the position, regulations, rulings, and case law, opinions or views of legal counsel and other advisers, and the experience gained from similar tax positions. Edison International and SCE evaluate uncertain tax positions at the end of each reporting period and make adjustments when warranted based on changes in fact or law.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used.   Should a change in facts or circumstances, including a change in enacted tax legislation, lead to a change in judgment about the ultimate realizability of a deferred tax asset, Edison International and

35

Table of Contents

SCE would record or adjust the related valuation allowance in the period that the change in facts and circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding increase or decrease in the provision for income taxes.

Actual income taxes may differ from the estimated amounts which could have a significant impact on the liabilities, revenue and expenses recorded in the financial statements. Edison International and SCE continue to be under audit or subject to audit for multiple years in various jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required to determine the tax treatment of particular tax positions that involve interpretations of complex tax laws. Such liabilities are based on judgment and a final determination could take many years from the time the liability is recorded. Furthermore, settlement of tax positions included in open tax years may be resolved by compromises of tax positions based on current factors and business considerations that may result in material adjustments to income taxes previously estimated. For a discussion of current and deferred taxes, net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, unrecognized tax benefits, and tax disputes, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes."

Nuclear Decommissioning – Asset Retirement Obligation

Key Assumptions and Approach Used.   San Onofre Units 1, 2 and 3 decommissioning cost estimates are updated in each NDCTP and when there are material changes to the timing or amount of estimated future cash flows. Palo Verde decommissioning cost estimates are updated by the operating agent, Arizona Public Services, every three years and when there are material changes to the timing or amount of estimated future cash flows. SCE estimates that it will spend approximately $6.1 billion, undiscounted through 2080, to decommission its nuclear facilities.

The current ARO estimates for San Onofre and Palo Verde are based on:

Column 1Column 2
Decommissioning Costs. The estimated costs for labor, material, equipment and other, and low-level radioactive waste costs are included in each of the NRC decommissioning stages: license termination, site restoration and spent fuel storage. The liability to decommission SCE's nuclear power facilities is based on a 2020 decommissioning study, filed as part of the 2021 NDCTP, for San Onofre Unit 1, 2 and 3 and a 2019 decommissioning study for Palo Verde, with revisions to the cost estimate in 2020.
Column 1Column 2
Escalation Rates. Annual escalation rates are used to convert the decommissioning cost estimates in base year dollars to decommissioning cost estimates in future-year dollars. Escalation rates are primarily used for labor, material, equipment and low-level radioactive waste burial costs. SCE's current estimates are based upon SCE's decommissioning cost methodology used for ratemaking purposes. Average escalation rates range from 2.2% to 7.5% (depending on the cost element) annually.
Column 1Column 2
Timing. Initial decommissioning activities at San Onofre Unit 1 started in 1999 and at Units 2 and 3 in 2013. Cost estimates for San Onofre Units are currently based on completion of decommissioning activities by 2053. Cost estimates for Palo Verde are based on an assumption that decommissioning will commence promptly after the current NRC operating licenses expire. The Palo Verde 1, 2, 3 operating licenses currently expire in 2045, 2046 and 2047, respectively.
Column 1Column 2
Spent Fuel Dry Storage Costs. Cost estimates, including the impact of escalations, are based on an assumption that the U.S. Department of Energy will begin to take spent fuel from the nuclear industry in 2031 and will remove the last spent fuel from the San Onofre and Palo Verde sites by 2051 and 2078, respectively.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used.   The ARO for decommissioning SCE's nuclear facilities was $2.2 billion as of December 31, 2023, based on the most recent decommissioning studies performed and the subsequent cost estimate updates. Changes in the estimated costs, execution strategy or timing of decommissioning, or in the assumptions and judgments by management underlying these estimates, could cause material revisions to the estimated total cost to decommission these facilities which could have a material effect on the recorded liability.

The following table illustrates the increase to the ARO liability if the cost escalation rate was adjusted while leaving all other assumptions constant:

Increase to ARO at
(in millions)December 31, 2023
Uniform increase in escalation rate of 1 percentage point$587

The increase in the ARO liability driven by an increase in the escalation rate would result in a decrease in the regulatory liability for recoveries in excess of ARO liabilities.

Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions

Nature of Estimate Required.   Authoritative accounting guidance requires companies to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans as assets and liabilities in the balance sheet; the assets and/or liabilities are normally offset through other comprehensive income (loss). In accordance with authoritative guidance for rate-regulated enterprises, regulatory assets and liabilities are recorded instead of charges and credits to other comprehensive income (loss) for its postretirement benefit plans that are recoverable in utility rates. Edison International and SCE have a fiscal year-end measurement date for all of their postretirement plans.

Key Assumptions of Approach Used.   Pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and the related effects on results of operations are calculated using actuarial models. Two critical assumptions, discount rate and expected return on assets, are important elements of plan expense, and the discount rate is important to liability measurement. Other assumptions, which require management judgment, include the rate of compensation increases and rates of retirement and turnover. Additionally, health care cost trend rates are critical assumptions for postretirement health care plans. These critical assumptions are evaluated periodically and updated to reflect actual experience, as appropriate.

As of December 31, 2023, Edison International's and SCE's pension plans had a $3.6 billion and $­­3.3 billion projected benefit obligation, respectively, and total 2023 expense for these plans was $23 million and $18 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the accumulated benefit obligation for Edison International's and SCE's PBOP plans were $773 million and $769 million, respectively, and there were no expenses for Edison International's and SCE's PBOP plans for 2023. The majority of annual contributions made to SCE's pension and PBOP plan are anticipated to be recovered through CPUC-approved regulatory mechanisms and are expected to be, at a minimum, equal to the related annual expense.

Pension expense is recorded for SCE based on the amount funded to the trusts, as calculated using an actuarial method required for ratemaking purposes, in which the impact of market volatility on plan assets is recognized in earnings on a more gradual basis. Any difference between pension expense calculated in accordance with ratemaking methods and pension expense calculated in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance for pension is accumulated as a regulatory asset or liability, and is expected, over time, to be recovered from or returned to customers. As of December 31, 2023, this cumulative difference amounted to $110 million, meaning that the ratemaking method has recognized less in expense than the accounting method since implementation of authoritative guidance for employers' accounting for pensions in 1987, which was offset by a regulatory liability for the current funding level of SCE's pension plan.

Edison International and SCE used the following critical assumptions to determine expense for pension and PBOP for 2023:

Column 1Column 2
1The discount rate enables Edison International and SCE to state expected future cash flows at a present value on the measurement date. Edison International and SCE select its discount rate by performing a yield curve analysis. This analysis determines the equivalent discount rate on projected cash flows by matching the timing and amount of expected future benefit payments to the corresponding yields from the Willis Towers Watson RATE: Link 10th – 90th percentile yield curve model on the measurement date.
Column 1Column 2
2To determine the expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, current and expected asset allocations are considered, as well as historical and expected returns on plan assets. A portion of PBOP trusts asset returns are subject to taxation, so the 5% rate of return on plan assets above is determined on an after-tax basis. Actual time-weighted, annualized returns on the pension plan assets were 11.1%, 7.8% and 6.9% for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2023, respectively. Actual time-weighted, annualized returns on the PBOP plan assets were 8.0%, 4.7% and 4.8% over these same periods. Accounting principles provide that differences between expected and actual returns are recognized over the average future service of employees.
Column 1Column 2
3The health care cost trend rate gradually declines to 5% for 2029 and beyond.

As of December 31, 2023, Edison International and SCE had unrecognized net pension gains of $138 million and $151 million, respectively, and unrecognized PBOP gains of $1.5 billion. The unrecognized pension and PBOP gains primarily consisted of the cumulative impact of the increased discount rates on the respective benefit obligations and the cumulative difference between the expected and actual rate of return on plan assets. Of these deferred gains, $159 million of SCE's pension gains and $1.5 billion of SCE's PBOP gains are recorded as regulatory liabilities, respectively, and are expected to be amortized to expense over the expected future service of the employees (subject to regulatory adjustment) or refunded to ratepayers at the termination or completion of the plan.

Edison International's and SCE's pension and PBOP plans are subject to limits established for federal tax deductibility. SCE funds its pension and PBOP plans in accordance with amounts allowed by the CPUC. Executive pension plans have no plan assets.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used.   Changes in the estimated costs or timing of pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, or the assumptions and judgments used by management underlying these estimates, could have a material effect on the recorded expenses and liabilities.

The following table summarizes the increase or decrease to projected benefit obligation for pension and the accumulated benefit obligation for PBOP if the discount rate were changed while leaving all other assumptions constant:

A one percentage point increase in the expected rate of return on pension plan assets would decrease Edison International's and SCE's current year expense by $35 million and $33 million, respectively, and a one percentage point increase in the expected rate of return on PBOP plan assets would decrease both Edison International's and SCE's current year expense by $23 million.

Contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund

Nature of Estimates Required. At December 31, 2023, Edison International and SCE have a $2.0 billion long-term asset and a $204 million current asset reflected as "Wildfire Insurance Fund contributions" in the consolidated balance sheets for the initial $2.4 billion contribution made during 2019 and the present value of annual contributions SCE committed to make to the Wildfire Insurance Fund, reduced by amortization. At December 31, 2023, a long-term liability of $450 million has been reflected in "Other deferred credits and other long-term liabilities" for the present value of unpaid contribution amounts. Contributions were discounted to the present value at the date SCE committed to participate in the Wildfire Insurance Fund using US treasury interest rates.

Management concluded it would be most appropriate to account for the contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund similar to prepaid insurance, ratably allocating the expense to periods based on an estimated period of coverage.

Key Assumptions and Approach Used. The Wildfire Insurance Fund does not have a defined life. Instead, the Wildfire Insurance Fund will terminate when the administrator determines that the fund has been exhausted. Management reassesses the period of coverage of the fund at least annually in January each year and adjustments are applied on a prospective basis. In January 2023, management estimated that the Wildfire Insurance Fund will provide insurance coverage for a period of 15 years from the date SCE committed to participate in the Wildfire Insurance Fund. The determination of the correct period in which to record an expense in relation to contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund depends, among other factors, on management's assessment of: the future occurrence and magnitude of wildfires; the involvement of SCE, or other electrical corporations which could access the Wildfire Insurance Fund, in the ignition of those fires; the probable future outcomes of CPUC cost recovery proceedings for wildfire claims, which may require reimbursement of the fund by electrical corporations; and the use of the contributions by the administrator of the Wildfire Insurance Fund. Further information regarding these factors may become available due to the actions of the fund administrator, or other entities, which could require management to reassess the period of coverage. In estimating the period of coverage, Edison International and SCE used Monte Carlo simulations based on nine years (2014 – 2022) of historical data from wildfires caused by electrical utility equipment to estimate expected loss. The details of the operation of the Wildfire Insurance Fund and estimates related to claims by SCE, PG&E and SDG&E against the fund have been applied to the expected loss simulations to estimate the period of coverage of the fund. The most sensitive inputs to the estimated period of coverage are the expected frequency of wildfire events caused by investor-owned utility electrical equipment and the estimated costs associated with those forecasted events. These inputs are most affected by the historical data used in estimating expected losses. Using a 16-year period (2007 – 2022) of historical data would further increase the period of coverage.

Based on information available in January of 2024 regarding catastrophic wildfires during 2023, SCE reassessed its estimate of the life of the Wildfire Insurance Fund. After incorporating 2023 expected losses into the historical data for the Monte Carlo simulations, SCE determined that effective in the first quarter of 2024, the life of the Wildfire Insurance Fund is expected to increase to 20 years from the date SCE committed to participate in the Wildfire Insurance Fund.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used. Changes in the estimated life of the insurance fund could have a material impact on the expense recognition.

Edison International's earnings are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses core earnings (losses) internally for financial planning and for analysis of performance. Core earnings (losses) 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. Core earnings (losses) are a non-GAAP financial measure and may not be comparable to those of other companies. Core earnings (losses) are defined as earnings attributable to Edison International shareholders less non-core items. Non-core items include income or loss from discontinued operations and income or loss from significant discrete items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings, such as write downs, asset impairments and other income and expense related to changes in law, outcomes in tax, regulatory or legal proceedings, and exit activities, including sale of certain assets and other activities that are no longer continuing.

Edison International's 2022 earnings decreased $147 million, driven by an increase in Edison International Parent and Other losses of $165 million, offset by an increase in SCE's earnings of $18 million. Edison International Parent and Other higher losses consisted of $103 million of lower non-core earnings and $62 million of higher core losses. SCE's higher net income consisted of $86 million of higher core earnings, offset by $68 million of higher non-core losses.

The increase in SCE's core earnings was primarily due to higher revenue due to the escalation mechanism as set forth in the 2021 GRC final decision and higher return on rate base from capital balancing accounts, partially offset by higher operating and maintenance expenses, higher depreciation from increased plant balance and higher interest expense.

The increase in Edison International Parent and Other's core losses was primarily due to higher preferred dividends.

Consolidated non-core items for 2022 and 2021 for Edison International included:

Electricity Industry Trends

The electric power industry is undergoing transformative change driven by federal and state government actions to reduce GHG emissions, as well as technological advances, such as customer-owned generation, electric vehicles and energy storage. These factors are altering the way in which electricity is generated and delivered as well as the regulatory and business environment for the industry.

California is committed to reducing its GHG emissions, improving local air quality and supporting continued economic growth. The state codified into law goals to reduce GHG emissions by 40% from 1990 levels by 2030 and 85% from the same baseline by 2045, as well as to be carbon neutral by 2045. State and local air quality plans also call for substantial improvements. In the most polluted areas of the state this includes reducing smog-causing nitrogen oxides 90% below 2010 levels by 2032.

While these policy goals cannot be achieved by the electric sector alone, the electric grid is a critical enabler of the adoption of energy technologies that support California's climate change and GHG reduction objectives. California has set RPS targets which require California retail sellers of electricity to provide 60% of power from renewable resources by 2030. California also requires sellers of electricity to deliver 100% of retail sales from carbon-free sources by 2045, including interim targets of 90% by 2035 and 95% by 2040. In 2022, approximately 48% of SCE's customer deliveries came from carbon-free resources. SCE remains well-positioned to meet its long-term RPS and carbon-free power goals and interim targets. In addition, Edison International is committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2045, in alignment with economy-wide climate actions planned by California. This commitment covers the power SCE delivers to customers and Edison International's enterprise-wide operations.

The current federal administration has also responded to climate change through numerous regulatory and Executive Order actions including for the development of more robust fuel efficiency and vehicle emission standards. Many of these actions align with internal company goals and efforts to address and mitigate climate change. Additionally, building upon the historic infrastructure legislation of 2021, Congress passed the IRA in 2022 that provides significant new funding to electrify the economy. Edison International believes these actions complement its industry-leading efforts to equitably transition to a decarbonized economy.

Edison International believes that California's 2045 goals can be achieved most economically through emissions reductions from using clean electricity to serve 100% of retail sales, electrifying approximately 76% of light-duty vehicles, 67% of medium-duty vehicles, 38% of heavy-duty vehicles, 85% of buses and 70% of buildings and using low-carbon fuels for technologies that are not yet viable for electrification. California has demonstrated strong long-term support of transportation electrification as shown by the approval of SCE's Charge Ready programs and 2022 legislation

banning sales of new gas vehicles by 2035. However, SCE believes that more state policy support, along with public and private investment, is needed to enable California to reach its 2030 GHG reduction targets.

To support these goals, Edison International's vision is to lead the transformation of the electric power industry and the company is focused on opportunities in delivering clean energy, advancing electrification, building a modernized and more reliable grid, and enabling customers' technology choices. SCE is focused on accelerating clean power and electrification, strengthening and modernizing the grid, achieving operational and service excellence and proactively mitigating climate change-related risks, including wildfires. SCE's ongoing focus to drive operational and service excellence is intended to allow it to achieve these objectives safely while controlling costs and customer rates. SCE projects that, even as electricity bills increase over time, due to higher efficiency of electrified end-use technologies, decarbonization and electrification will reduce energy consumption costs for the average family by one-third by 2045. SCE's focus on the transmission and distribution of electricity aligns with California's policy supporting competitive power procurement markets.

SCE is undertaking projects and programs to accelerate economy-wide electrification. To support system reliability, SCE is investing $1.0 billion in utility owned storage capacity as well as contracting for substantial new clean energy resources. See "—Capital Program" and "Business—SCE—Purchased Power and Fuel Supply—CAISO Wholesale Energy Market" for further details. SCE also continues to implement its transportation electrification programs. As of December 31, 2022, SCE had completed construction at 179 sites to support 3,048 charge ports under its suite of light duty Charge Ready Programs, and 42 sites to support the electrification of 895 medium and heavy-duty vehicles through its Charge Ready Transport program.

Changes in the electric power industry are impacting customers and jurisdictions outside California as well. Many other states and countries are also pursuing climate change and GHG reduction objectives and large commercial and industrial customers are continuing to pursue cost reduction and sustainability goals. Edison Energy provides decarbonization and energy solutions to commercial, institutional and industrial customers in North America and Europe who may be impacted by these changes.

To better engage in this broader transformation and provide a view of developments outside of SCE, Edison International has made several investments in emerging companies in areas related to the technology and business model changes that are driving industry transformation and may make additional investments in the future. These investments are not financially material to Edison International.

2025 General Rate Case

SCE expects to file its 2025 GRC application with the CPUC in May 2023, for the four-year period of 2025 – 2028. In its 2025 GRC, SCE will seek necessary funding for various grid planning and development activities to support California's clean energy transformation and economy-wide decarbonization objectives, while continuing to prioritize wildfire mitigation programs in high fire risk areas, focus on increased system reliability, technology enabled grid investments and provide safe, reliable, and affordable service to customers.

Cost of Capital Applications

In 2021, SCE filed an application with the CPUC for authority to establish its authorized cost of capital for utility operations for 2022 and to reset the related annual cost of capital mechanism that can adjust the authorized cost of capital between SCE's cost of capital proceedings based on changes in Moody's utility bond rate index. In November 2022, the CPUC issued a decision maintaining SCE's cost of capital at pre-2022 levels for 2022 and closing the proceedings. In December 2022, intervenors filed an application for rehearing of the decision; if the CPUC takes further action it may impact revenues collected in rates during 2022.

In April 2022, SCE filed an application with the CPUC for authority to establish its authorized cost of capital for utility operations for a three-year term beginning in 2023 and to reset the related annual cost of capital adjustment mechanism (see "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process" for further information on the adjustment mechanism). In December 2022, the CPUC issued a final decision that set SCE's ROE at 10.05%, and maintained SCE's current authorized capital structure, after CPUC-allowed exclusions, of 52% common equity, 43% long-term debt, and 5% preferred equity. Under the final decision, SCE's 2023 authorized cost of long-term debt and preferred equity are 4.39% and 6.50%, respectively. Based on the approved capital structure and costs, SCE's weighted average return on rate base for 2023 will be 7.44%. Based on the revenue requirement approved in SCE's 2021 GRC, the final decision will decrease SCE's revenue requirement for 2023 by approximately $90 million compared to the cost of capital currently in rates. In January an intervenor filed an application for rehearing, if the CPUC takes further action it may impact revenues being collected in rates during 2023.

The cost of capital adjustment mechanism's benchmark beginning January 1, 2023, is the 12-month, October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022, average Moody's Baa utility bond yield of 4.37%. If the difference between the benchmark and the average of the same index for the 12-month period from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023 exceeds 100-basis points, SCE's CPUC-authorized ROE will be adjusted for 2024 by half the amount of the difference (up or down). The average Moody's Baa utility bond yield between October 1, 2022 and February 16, 2023 was 5.78%. The spot rate for Moody's Baa utility bond was 5.65% on February 16, 2023. An average Moody's Baa utility bond yield of 5.13% or higher from February 17, 2023 through September 30, 2023 would trigger the mechanism to adjust upward.

Capital Program

Total capital expenditures (including accruals) were $5.7 billion in 2022 and $5.4 billion in 2021. SCE's year-end rate base was $40.6 billion at December 31, 2022, compared to $37.9 billion at December 31, 2021, after excluding rate base associated with AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures.

SCE's 2022 recorded and 2023 – 2024 forecast capital expenditures are set forth in the table below:

SCE's capital expenditure forecast reflects planned CPUC-jurisdictional spending including amounts requested in SCE's GRC track 4 filing for the 2024 attrition year of the 2021 GRC, the WCCP and other programs outlined in SCE's WMP that are above amounts authorized in the 2021 GRC, CPUC-approved utility owned storage expenditures and planned FERC capital expenditures. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Regulatory Proceedings" for more information on the GRC track 4 filing.

Potential capital spending variability associated with future regulatory requests based on management judgment, potential for permitting delays and other operational considerations is reflected in the range case above, including deferral of all activity on the Riverside Transmission Reliability Project during 2023. For more information, see "Liquidity—SCE—Capital Investment Plan." The completion of projects, the timing of expenditures, and the associated cost recovery may be affected by permitting requirements and delays, construction schedules, availability of labor, equipment and materials, financing, legal and regulatory approvals and developments, community requests or protests, weather and other unforeseen conditions.

In addition to the amounts presented in the table above SCE expects to make additional CPUC capital expenditures, the recovery of which will be subject to future regulatory approval. This includes expenditures to be requested in the 2025 GRC application which will reflect SCE's 2023 – 2025 WMP and non-GRC programs including the Building Electrification Program and an enterprise resource planning software implementation. These capital expenditures and expected FERC capital expenditures are expected to be in a range of approximately $5.3 billion to $6.8 billion in aggregate between 2024 and 2025.

Utility Owned Storage Projects

In October 2021, SCE contracted with Ameresco, Inc. ("Ameresco") for the construction of utility owned energy storage projects at three sites in SCE's service territory with an aggregate capacity of 537.5 MW and an in-service date of August 1, 2022.

In April 2022, SCE received a force majeure event notice from Ameresco in which Ameresco asserted that both manufacturing delays related to COVID-19 shut-downs in China and new shipping restrictions imposed by Chinese governmental authorities were then impacting the supply of batteries from China necessary for timely completion of the projects. Ameresco subsequently supplemented its force majeure notice noting additional supply chain issues related to COVID-19. Permitting delays and engineering issues and certain changes requested by SCE also impacted the projects in 2022. SCE expects to receive in aggregate approximately $270 million of tax credits available under the IRA for all three projects, which will accrue to the benefit of its customers. In January 2023, SCE received a force majeure event notice from Ameresco in which Ameresco asserted that severe winter storms in Southern California had impacted the timely completion of the projects.

While Ameresco has advised SCE that it currently expects all three projects to be in-service prior to June 2023, SCE believes that there is risk of delay beyond Ameresco's projected in-service dates.

SCE is continuing to evaluate the force majeure event notices and is awaiting additional information from Ameresco on the underlying events. If there is a valid force majeure event under the contracts with Ameresco, subject to certain conditions, the project schedules and any related triggers of liquidated damages may be extended, and the contract prices may be increased to account for the impact of the force majeure event. Because Ameresco did not achieve an in-service date of August 1, 2022, SCE is entitled to liquidated damages under the terms of the contracts subject to any relief Ameresco may be entitled to under the contracts, including any relief for any valid force majeure events. Once triggered, liquidated damages accrue daily for up to 60 days up to a maximum of $89 million in aggregate for all three projects.

Subject to reductions for any liquidated damages SCE is paid, SCE currently expects these storage projects to result in $1.0 billion of capital expenditures. In December 2021, the CPUC approved recovery of these expenditures and establishment of a balancing account for the associated revenue requirement, which have been reflected in rates beginning in the first quarter of 2022. Authorized revenue requirements will be included in the annual ERRA review proceeding and can only be disallowed upon a finding that SCE failed to prudently administer the contracts.

Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides

California has experienced unprecedented weather conditions in recent years due to climate change. The worsening weather and fuel conditions across California increase the likelihood of wildfires, including those where SCE's equipment may be alleged to be associated with the fire's ignition, and SCE's service territory remains susceptible to additional wildfire activity in 2023 and beyond. In response to worsening conditions and increased wildfire activity over the past several years, SCE has developed and is implementing its WMP to reduce the risk of SCE equipment contributing to the ignition of wildfires. In addition, California has increased its investment in wildfire prevention and fire suppression capabilities. In addition to the investments SCE is making as part of its WMP, SCE also uses its PSPS program to proactively de-energize power lines as a last resort to mitigate the risk of significant wildfires during extreme weather events.

Wildfires in SCE's territory in December 2017 and November 2018 caused loss of life, substantial damage to both residential and business properties, and service outages for SCE customers. SCE has incurred material losses in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events.

Table of Contents

SCE's equipment has been, and may further be, alleged to be associated with several wildfires that have originated in Southern California subsequent to 2018. Edison International and SCE expect that any losses incurred in connection with those fires will be covered by insurance, subject to self-insured retentions and co-insurance, recoveries through electric rates or third-party receivables, and expect that any such losses after recoveries will not be material.

2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events

Multiple lawsuits and investigations related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events have been initiated against SCE and Edison International. As of December 31, 2022, in addition to the Local Public Entity Settlement, the TKM Subrogation Settlement and the Woolsey Subrogation Settlement, SCE had entered into settlements with approximately 9,500 individual plaintiffs in the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation. In addition, SCE and the SED executed the SED Agreement in October 2021, and SCE's obligations under the SED Agreement commenced on August 15, 2022, when CPUC approval of the SED Agreement became final and non-appealable.

In 2022, SCE accrued estimated losses of $1.3 billion for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. As a result, SCE also recorded expected recoveries through FERC electric rates of $76 million against the charge, and the resulting net charge to earnings was $1.2 billion ($879 million after-tax).

Through December 31, 2022, SCE has accrued estimated losses of $8.8 billion, expected recoveries from insurance of $2.0 billion and expected recoveries through FERC electric rates of $376 million related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. The after-tax net charges to earnings recorded through December 31, 2022 have been $4.6 billion.

As of December 31, 2022, SCE had paid $7.6 billion under executed settlements and had $185 million to be paid under executed settlements, including $120 million to be paid under the SED Agreement, related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. As of the same date, SCE had recovered $2.0 billion through insurance and approximately $234 million through FERC-jurisdictional electric rates.

After giving effect to all payment obligations under settlements entered into through December 31, 2022, including under the SED Agreement, Edison International's and SCE's best estimate of expected losses for remaining alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events was $934 million. As of the same date, SCE had assets for expected recoveries through FERC electric rates of $142 million on their consolidated balance sheets and had exhausted expected insurance recoveries related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. Edison International and SCE may incur a material loss in excess of amounts accrued in connection with the remaining alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events.

SCE will seek CPUC-jurisdictional rate recovery of prudently-incurred losses and related costs realized in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events in excess of available insurance and FERC-jurisdictional recoveries, other than for any obligations under the SED Agreement. Based on Edison International's and SCE's current best estimate of expected losses for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, SCE currently expects to seek CPUC-jurisdictional rate recovery of approximately $6 billion by filing multiple future applications with the CPUC. SCE targets the third quarter of 2023 for the first of such cost recovery applications, and expects to request recovery of approximately $2 billion in that filing. SCE's plans with respect to these filings may be delayed or modified. For example, the filings may be delayed if proceedings related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events do not progress as anticipated. SCE believes that, in light of the CPUC's decision in a cost recovery proceeding involving SDG&E arising from several 2007 wildfires in SDG&E's service area, there is substantial uncertainty regarding how the CPUC will interpret and apply its prudency standard to an investor-owned utility in wildfire cost-recovery proceedings for fires ignited prior to the adoption of AB 1054 on July 12, 2019. Accordingly, while the CPUC has not made a determination regarding SCE's prudency relative to any of the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, SCE is unable to conclude, at this time, that uninsured

11

Table of Contents

CPUC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events are probable of recovery through electric rates.

Post-2018 Wildfires

Several wildfires have significantly impacted portions of SCE's service territory after 2018, including the 2019 Saddle Ridge Fire, the 2020 Bobcat Fire, the 2022 Coastal Fire and the 2022 Fairview Fire.

In 2022, SCE recorded a $572 million increase in estimated losses for the Post-2018 Wildfires and recorded $399 million in expected insurance recoveries against the charge. In light of the prudency standard the CPUC is required to apply under AB 1054 to utilities holding a safety certificate at the time a wildfire ignited after July 12, 2019, SCE has concluded, at this time, that both uninsured CPUC-jurisdictional and uninsured FERC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs related to the Post-2018 Wildfires, other than for those already authorized for inclusion in electric rates, are probable of recovery through electric rates. As a result, SCE also recorded expected recoveries through electric rates of $162 million against the charges accrued related to the Post-2018 Wildfires. The resulting net charge to earnings was $11 million ($8 million after-tax).

As of December 31, 2022, SCE had paid $13 million under executed settlements related to the Post-2018 Wildfires. After giving effect to all payment obligations under settlements entered into through December 31, 2022, Edison International's and SCE's estimated losses (established at the lower end of the estimated range of reasonably possible losses) for remaining alleged and potential claims related to the Post-2018 Wildfires was $682 million. As of the same date, SCE had assets for expected recoveries through insurance of $473 million and through electric rates of $166 million on their consolidated balance sheets related to the Post-2018 Wildfires.

Expected recoveries from insurance recorded for the Post-2018 Wildfires are supported by SCE's insurance coverage for multiple policy years. While Edison International and SCE may incur material losses in excess of the amounts accrued for each of the Post-2018 Wildfires, Edison International and SCE expect that any losses incurred in connection with any such fire will be covered by insurance, subject to self-insured retentions and co-insurance, and expect that any such losses after expected recoveries from insurance and through electric rates will not be material.

Upstream Lighting Program

From 2017 – 2019, SCE administered the Upstream Lighting Program, part of a statewide program administered by investor-owned utilities that offered discounted energy efficient light bulbs to customers through incentives to lighting manufacturers. The CPUC began investigating the programs administered by the investor-owned utilities based on reports that investor-owned utilities, including SCE, shipped a significant number of bulbs under the program that could not be tracked to customers.

In May 2022, the CPUC issued an order directing SCE to show cause as to why SCE should not be required to: (i) refund ratepayer funding for the portion of the program budget associated with light bulbs that were unaccounted for, (ii) refund energy efficiency incentive mechanism ("ESPI") awards associated with unaccounted-for light bulbs, and (iii) pay penalties for misrepresenting program progress and results to the CPUC. In September 2022, a Presiding Officer's Decision ("POD") was issued in the proceeding finding that SCE mismanaged its Upstream Lighting Program from 2017 through 2019 and failed to ensure that efficient light bulbs were tracked and sold as intended by the program design. The POD requires SCE to (i) refund to ratepayers $76.1 million, representing the portion of the program budget associated

with light bulbs that could not be accounted for, (ii) refund to ratepayers $6.8 million, representing ESPI awards associated with light bulbs that could not be accounted for, (iii) pay $19.06 million in fines; and (iv) bear the cost of SCE's investigation, approximately $900,000. The CPUC issued its final decision in November 2022 in line with the POD.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SCE

SCE's results of operations are derived mainly through two sources:

Column 1Column 2
Earning activities – representing revenue authorized by the CPUC and the FERC, which is intended to provide SCE a reasonable opportunity to recover its costs and earn a return on its net investment in generation, transmission, and distribution assets. The annual revenue requirements are comprised of authorized operation and maintenance costs, depreciation, taxes and a return consistent with the capital structure. Also, included in earnings activities are revenue or penalties related to incentive mechanisms, other operating revenue and regulatory charges or disallowances.
Column 1Column 2
Cost-recovery activities – representing CPUC- and FERC-authorized balancing accounts which allow for recovery of specific project or program costs, subject to reasonableness review or compliance with upfront standards, as well as non-bypassable rates collected for SCE Recovery Funding LLC. Cost-recovery activities include rates which provide recovery, subject to reasonableness review of, among other things, fuel costs, purchased power costs, public purpose related-program costs (including energy efficiency and demand-side management programs), certain operation and maintenance expenses, (including vegetation management and wildfire insurance), and repayment of bonds and financing costs of SCE Recovery Funding LLC. SCE earns no return on these activities.

Supplemental Operating Revenue Information

As a result of the CPUC-authorized decoupling mechanism, SCE revenues are not affected by changes in retail electricity sales.

Income Taxes

Lower income tax expense of $126 million in 2022 compared to 2021 (a tax benefit was recorded in 2022) was primarily driven by a decrease in pre-tax income and the absence of a one-time charge recorded in 2021. In July 2021, SCE received the IRS's response to its private letter ruling request, regarding the scope of the deferred tax normalization requirements and the computations required to comply with the average rate assumption method. As a result of the IRS ruling, SCE's estimate changed, and a charge was recorded in 2021 to reduce the 2018 through 2021 cumulative tax benefits returned to customers. The effective tax rates were (12.9)% and 1.8% for 2022 and 2021, respectively. SCE's effective tax rate is below the federal statutory rate of 21% for 2022 and 2021 primarily due to the CPUC's ratemaking treatment for the current tax benefit arising from certain property-related and other temporary differences, which reverse

over time. The accounting treatment for these temporary differences results in recording regulatory assets and liabilities for amounts that would otherwise be recorded to deferred income tax expense.

See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes" for a reconciliation of the federal statutory rate to the effective income tax rates.

Edison International Parent and Other

Results of operations for Edison International Parent and Other include amounts from other subsidiaries that are not reportable as segments, as well as intercompany eliminations.

Loss from Operations

Edison International Parent and Other net loss attributable to common shareholders$(235)$(70)$(71)

The net loss attributable to common shareholders from operations of Edison International Parent and Other increased $165 million in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to an income tax benefit of $110 million recorded in 2021 related to the settlement of the 2007 – 2012 California tax audits with the FTB and higher preferred dividends in 2022.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

SCE

SCE's ability to operate its business, fund capital expenditures, and implement its business strategy is dependent upon its cash flow and access to the bank and capital markets. SCE's overall cash flows fluctuate based on, among other things, its ability to recover its costs in a timely manner from its customers through regulated rates, changes in commodity prices and volumes, collateral requirements, interest obligations, dividend payments to and equity contributions from Edison International, obligations to preference shareholders, and the outcome of tax, regulatory and legal matters.

In the next 12 months, SCE expects to fund its cash requirements through operating cash flows, capital market and bank financings and equity contributions from Edison International Parent, as needed. SCE also has availability under its credit facility to fund cash requirements. SCE expects to issue bonds to finance or refinance eligible sustainable projects. Eligible sustainable projects include categories such as renewable energy, clean transportation, energy efficiency and carbon reduction, climate change adaptation, and socioeconomic advancement and empowerment. SCE maintains processes to ensure that proceeds from the sale of the bonds are only used for projects that are aligned with the Edison International sustainable financing framework issued in June 2021. SCE also expects to issue additional debt for general corporate purposes and to finance payments for future resolutions of claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events.

SCE has invested all $1.6 billion of the required AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures. SCE issued securitized bonds in the amounts of $338 million and $533 million in February 2021 and 2022, respectively, to finance a portion of these expenditures. SCE expects to use the proceeds of future securitized bonds to repay a term loan of $730 million prior to its maturity in May 2023, which financed the remaining AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures. SCE has filed a regulatory application for authorization to issue additional securitized bonds. For further information, see "—Regulatory Proceedings—Financing Order."

The IRA was signed into law in August 2022. See "—Edison International Parent and Other— Edison International Income Taxes" for a description of the impacts of the legislation on the Edison International consolidated tax group including SCE.

The following table summarizes SCE's current, long-term issuer credit ratings and outlook from the major credit rating agencies:

Moody'sFitchS&P
Credit RatingBaa2BBB-BBB
OutlookPositivePositiveStable

SCE's credit ratings may be affected if, among other things, regulators fail to successfully implement AB 1054 in a consistent and credit supportive manner or the Wildfire Insurance Fund is depleted by claims from catastrophic wildfires. Credit rating downgrades increase the cost and may impact the availability of short-term and long-term borrowings, including commercial paper, credit facilities, bond financings or other borrowings. In addition, some of SCE's power procurement contracts and environmental remediation obligations would require SCE to pay related liabilities or post additional collateral if SCE's credit rating were to fall below investment grade. For further details, see "—Margin and Collateral Deposits."

Available Liquidity

At December 31, 2022, SCE had cash on hand of $766 million and approximately $2.7 billion available to borrow on its $3.4 billion revolving credit facility. The credit facility is available for borrowing needs until May 2026.

At December 31, 2022, SCE had $195 million outstanding commercial paper, net of discount, at a weighted average interest rate of 5.20%. The aggregate maximum principal amount under the SCE revolving credit facility may be increased up to $4.0 billion, provided that additional lender commitments are obtained. For further details, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."

SCE may finance balancing account undercollections and working capital requirements to support operations and capital expenditures with commercial paper, its credit facilities or other borrowings, subject to availability in the bank and capital markets. As necessary, SCE will utilize its available liquidity, capital market financings, other borrowings or parent company contributions to SCE equity in order to meet its obligations as they become due, including costs related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. For further information, see "Management Overview—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."

Debt Covenant

SCE's credit facilities and term loan require a debt to total capitalization ratio as defined in the applicable agreements of less than or equal to 0.65 to 1. At December 31, 2022, SCE's debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.56 to 1.

At December 31, 2022, SCE was in compliance with all financial covenants that affect access to capital.

Regulatory Proceedings

Wildfire Related Regulatory Proceedings

In response to the increase in wildfire activity, and faster progression of and increased damage from wildfires across SCE's service territory and throughout California, SCE has incurred wildfire mitigation, wildfire insurance and wildfire and drought restoration related spending at levels significantly exceeding amounts authorized in SCE's GRCs.

Table of Contents

2021 General Rate Case Wildfire Mitigation Memorandum Account Balances

The 2021 GRC decision authorized the establishment of balancing accounts for expenses for vegetation management, wildfire insurance, and the WCCP program, with expenditures up to certain thresholds approved for cost recovery. SCE may submit subsequent reasonableness review applications for any spending in excess of these thresholds. SCE has incurred, and in 2023 expects to incur, vegetation management expenses and capital expenditures for WCCP in excess of thresholds established in the 2021 GRC. SCE has also incurred, and in 2023 expects to incur, costs in excess of amounts authorized in the 2021 GRC related to other wildfire mitigation activities, including inspections and maintenance and to support execution of PSPS events. SCE tracks these incremental amounts in memorandum accounts which will be subject to approval in future regulatory proceedings. For more information see "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process."

In June 2022, SCE filed an application with the CPUC requesting reasonableness review of these incremental costs incurred in 2021 related to non-covered conductor wildfire mitigation and vegetation management activities, requesting a total revenue requirement of approximately $327 million. In October 2022, the CPUC temporarily suspended the procedural schedule for the proceeding to consider whether there is a sufficient record in the proceeding to address the issue of whether recorded costs are incremental, reasonable, and properly recoverable. In December 2022, the CPUC began to conduct an audit of SCE's 2021 incurred costs, with an expectation of issuing an audit report in July 2023.

2021 General Rate Case Track 3

In June 2022, the CPUC issued a decision on SCE's 2021 GRC track 3 filing that authorized SCE to recover

$385 million of incremental wildfire mitigation operation and maintenance expense and approved $465 million of incremental wildfire mitigation capital expenditures as reasonable. SCE did not obtain a determination of reasonableness for an additional $197 million of capital expenditures, associated with construction in progress, plant assets and installation of current limiting fuses, portions of which were defective. SCE expects to provide additional information supporting its application for recovery of approximately $25 million of current limiting fuses expenditure in its 2025 GRC application. The construction in progress not approved as reasonable in the 2021 GRC track 3 was not eligible for inclusion in SCE's final financing order application, but is being recovered as part of SCE's authorized rate base included in the 2021 GRC decision on a forecast basis.

The decision did not find reasonable certain capital expenditures related to vegetation management software purchased by SCE. As a result of the decision, SCE recorded a $17 million impairment of utility property, plant and equipment.

In October 2022, SCE filed a request to seek recovery of $35 million, after accounting for a $10 million deductible, for vegetation management-related operations and maintenance expenses not approved in this proceeding. These increased costs are tracked in a "Z-Factor" memorandum account for vegetation management line clearance costs related to Senate Bill 247, which went into effect January 1, 2020, and requires SCE to pay line clearance tree trimmers the prevailing wage of qualified electrical workers.

The decision resulted in a revenue requirement of approximately $400 million including a $15 million 2020 revenue requirement for capital expenditures previously found reasonable by the CPUC. The approved revenue requirements are required to be amortized over a 36-month period. SCE is seeking recovery of the approved capital expenditures in a separate financing order application. See "— Financing Order" below.

Wildfire Expense Memorandum Account

SCE tracks insurance premium costs related to wildfire liability insurance policies as well as other wildfire-related costs in its WEMA. In December 2020, SCE filed a WEMA application with the CPUC to seek recovery of $215 million of costs recorded in WEMA at December 31, 2020. The costs primarily related to incremental wildfire insurance premium

Table of Contents

expenses and associated costs for wildfire liability insurance policies that provide coverage for the last six months of 2020. In October 2022, the CPUC extended the statutory deadline for completion of the proceeding to April 2023.

SCE believes that uninsured CPUC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs related to the Post-2018 Wildfires, other than for those already authorized for inclusion in electric rates, are probable of recovery through electric rates. As of

December 31, 2022, SCE has recorded total expected recoveries related to the Post-2018 Wildfires of $152 million within the WEMA and risk management balancing accounts.

2020 Emergency Wildfire Restoration

Multiple wildfires occurred during 2020 which caused damage within SCE's service territory and to SCE's Big Creek hydroelectric facility.

In March 2022, SCE filed a CEMA application requesting recovery of $207 million of operation and maintenance expenses incremental to authorized revenue requirements and $312 million of capital expenditures incremental to amounts authorized in the 2021 GRC primarily related to these restoration efforts. SCE has not yet filed for recovery of generation restoration costs, as repairs to hydroelectric generation facilities are not complete.

2021 General Rate Case Track 4

SCE made its 2021 GRC track 4 filing with the CPUC in May 2022. SCE is requesting a revenue requirement of

$8.6 billion for 2024. This represents an increase of $938 million compared to SCE's revenue requirement of $7.7 billion for the 2023 attrition year. A significant component of the track 4 revenue requirement request relates to projects previously authorized by the CPUC, including those which were completed and put into service since the 2021 GRC final decision. The other primary drivers of the increase are inflation and SCE's 2024 vegetation management and wildfire mitigation spending forecasts, partially due to a legislatively required wage rate increase. The schedule adopted by the CPUC for the 2021 GRC track 4 filing calls for a proposed decision in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Financing Order

In September 2022, SCE filed its third application for an irrevocable order from the CPUC to finance $772 million, comprised of AB1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures, allowed overhead costs and associated financing expenses, through the issuance of securitized bonds. The expenditures consist of $204 million approved in the 2021 GRC track 1 and $465 million approved in the 2021 GRC track 3. SCE received a proposed decision on this application in January 2023, which would authorize the issuance of securitized bonds, if approved. SCE expects a final decision in the first quarter of 2023.

CSRP

In September 2022, the CPUC approved SCE's CSRP proceeding for expenditures incurred through April 2021. The approval resulted in a revenue requirement of $388 million through December 2024. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Polices— Impairments of Long-lived Assets" for further information.

In May 2022, SCE filed a second CSRP application with the CPUC requesting recovery of $59 million of capital expenditures and $28 million of operation and maintenance expenses incurred from May 2021 to December 2021. SCE also expects to propose review and cost recovery for additional post-implementation CSRP costs incurred from January 2022 through December 2024 in its 2025 GRC filing.

ERRA Proceeding

SCE's cost-recovery mechanism for its fuel and purchased power-related costs is facilitated in three main balancing accounts, the ERRA, the PABA, and the NSGBA. SCE sets rates based on an annual forecast of the costs that it expects to incur during the subsequent year. The undercollection in ERRA and PABA during 2022 resulted in SCE triggering an established mechanism requiring SCE to file an application to advise the CPUC that SCE's undercollections had exceeded the trigger amount. In December 2022, the CPUC approved inclusion of the undercollection in a January 1, 2023 rate change.

At December 31, 2022, the ERRA and PABA were undercollected by approximately $1.5 billion due to higher gas and power prices and in January 2023, SCE notified the CPUC of a further trigger of the mechanism. Due to the new rate effective in January 2023, undercollections are expected to decrease, however, if undercollections remain above the trigger level, it could result in a further adjustment to customer rates during 2023. See "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process" for further information.

In October 2022, as part of the 2020 ERRA review proceeding, the CPUC rejected the methodology SCE used to calculate the portion of uncollectibles expense incremental to amounts authorized in SCE's GRC. This led to a disallowance of $16 million of uncollectibles expense recorded to the residential uncollectible balancing account ("RUBA") in 2020. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022, SCE modified its methodology for calculating incremental uncollectibles expense to be included in RUBA to align with the decision.

2023 FERC Formula Rate Annual Update

In November 2022, SCE filed its 2023 annual transmission revenue requirement update with the FERC, with the proposed rate effective January 1, 2023. The update reflects a $2 million increase from SCE's 2022 transmission revenue requirement included in customer rates. The 2023 filing was in line with the 2022 transmission revenue requirement due to significant wildfire-related claims expenses recorded in both years.

2022 California Arrearage Payment Program ("CAPP 2022")

In June 2022, California's State Assembly passed legislation to authorize, fund and implement the CAPP 2022, which is expected to reduce customer arrearages for certain residential customers of California's investor-owned utilities by up to $1.0 billion. In November 2022, SCE received $202 million of CAPP funds on behalf of customers, which has been applied to accounts receivable outstanding from individual customers. To the extent SCE's uncollectibles expenses have been offset by the CAPP 2022, recovery will not be sought through other mechanisms.

Building Electrification Programs Application

In December 2021, SCE filed a $677 million Building Electrification Program Application for a four-year program (2024 – 2027) to incentivize replacing 250,000 gas-fueled water and space heaters with efficient electric heat pumps and to upgrade or enhance the electrical infrastructure for 65,000 homes to support electrification. The proposed program would include $200 million for customer-side electrical infrastructure upgrades for which SCE has requested inclusion as a regulatory asset in rate base, $69 million in capital expenditures and $408 million of operations and maintenance expense including heat pump incentives, program administration, and implementation costs. The CPUC is expected to issue a final decision on the application in mid-2023.

SCE is unable to predict the timing of a final CPUC decision, the corresponding in-service date, and what the final project costs will be for the Alberhill System Project.

Riverside Transmission Reliability Project

The Riverside Transmission Reliability Project is a joint project between SCE and Riverside Public Utilities ("RPU"), the municipal utility department of the City of Riverside. While RPU will be responsible for constructing some of the project's facilities within Riverside, SCE's portion of the project consists of constructing upgrades to its system, including a new 230 kV substation; certain interconnection and telecommunication facilities and transmission lines in the cities of Riverside, Jurupa Valley and Norco and in portions of unincorporated Riverside County. In May 2022, the Riverside City Council voted to review and advise on alternatives to the CPUC approved project. Consequently, SCE suspended all major activities on the project. In January 2023, the City Council voted to establish a working group to pursue funding for additional undergrounding. SCE's capital forecast currently includes $128 million and $190 million of Riverside Transmission Reliability Project expenditures in 2023 and 2024, respectively, which may be affected by further delays to the project.

Alberhill System Project

The Alberhill System Project consists of constructing a new 500 kV substation, two 500 kV transmission lines to connect the proposed substation to the existing Serrano-Valley 500 kV transmission line, telecommunication equipment and subtransmission lines in western Riverside County. The project was designed to meet long-term forecasted electrical demand in the proposed Alberhill System Project area and to increase electrical system reliability and resiliency. In April 2018 and July 2018, the CPUC issued a proposed decision and an alternate proposed decision, both denying SCE's ability to construct the Alberhill System Project based on a perceived lack of need. SCE filed comments on both proposed decisions requesting that the CPUC grant the certificate of public convenience and necessity ("CPCN") for the Alberhill System Project. In August 2018, the CPUC issued a decision that did not deny or approve the Alberhill System Project but directed SCE to submit supplemental information on the Alberhill System Project including but not limited to a load forecast and cost benefit analysis of several alternatives to the proposed project. Ongoing capital spending has been deferred as a result of the CPUC request for additional information. In January 2020, SCE submitted a supplemental analysis to the CPUC for the Alberhill System Project including several alternatives to the proposed project as well as an update to the original project cost. A final decision on the Alberhill System Project remains

pending. Given the uncertainty associated with the resolution of the permitting process, potential revisions to the project have not been reflected in total direct expenditures. SCE continues to believe a system solution is needed for the project area but is unable to predict the timing of a final CPUC decision in connection with the Alberhill System Project proceeding.

Approximately 48% of the Alberhill System Project costs spent to date would be subject to recovery through CPUC revenue and 52% through FERC revenue. In October 2017, SCE obtained approval from the FERC for abandoned plant treatment for the Alberhill System Project, which allows SCE to seek recovery of 100% of all prudently incurred costs after the approval date and 50% of prudently incurred costs prior to the approval date. Excluding land costs, which may be recovered through sale to a third party, SCE has incurred approximately $59 million and $55 million of capital expenditures, including overhead costs, of which approximately $42 million and $39 million may not be recoverable if the project is cancelled, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Eldorado-Lugo-Mohave Upgrade Project

The Eldorado-Lugo-Mohave Upgrade Project will increase capacity on existing transmission lines to allow additional renewable energy to flow from Nevada to southern California. The project would modify SCE's existing Eldorado, Lugo, and Mohave electrical substations to accommodate the increased flows from Nevada to southern California; increase the power flow through the existing 500 kV transmission lines by constructing two new capacitors along the lines; raise transmission tower heights to meet ground clearance requirements; and install fiber optics on the transmission lines to provide communications between existing SCE substations. In August 2020, the CPUC approved the CPCN for the project.

Construction for the project began in November 2020 and the project is expected to be operational in the second quarter of 2023.

Decommissioning of San Onofre

The decommissioning of a nuclear plant requires the management of three related activities: radiological decommissioning, non-radiological decommissioning and the management of spent nuclear fuel. SCE has engaged the DGC to undertake a significant scope of decommissioning activities for Units 1, 2 and 3 at San Onofre. The decommissioning of San Onofre is expected to take many years.

Under federal law, the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") is responsible for the selection and construction of a facility for the permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. The DOE has not met its contractual obligation to accept spent nuclear fuel. Extended delays by the DOE have led to the construction of costly alternatives and associated siting and environmental issues.

Two Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations ("ISFSI") store nuclear fuel onsite at San Onofre. The first primarily stores nuclear fuel from Unit 1 ("ISFSI 1") and the second stores nuclear fuel from Units 2 and 3 ("ISFSI 2"). SCE's CDPs for ISFSI 1 and ISFSI 2 extend through 2035.

Decommissioning of San Onofre Unit 1 began in 1999 and the transfer of spent nuclear fuel from Unit 1 to dry cask storage in ISFSI 1 was completed in 2005. Major decommissioning work for Unit 1 has been completed except for certain underground work.

23

Table of Contents

Decommissioning of San Onofre Units 2 and 3 began in June 2013 and the transfer of spent nuclear fuel from San Onofre Units 2 and 3 to dry cask storage in the two ISFSIs was completed in August 2020. In October 2019, the California Coastal Commission approved SCE's application for a CDP, the principal discretionary permit required to start major decommissioning activities at San Onofre Units 2 and 3. In August 2020, SCE commenced, and is currently conducting, major decommissioning activities in accordance with the terms of the permit.

In the third quarter of 2021, SCE updated its decommissioning cost estimate for decommissioning activities to be completed at San Onofre Units 2 and 3 to $3.4 billion (SCE share is $2.6 billion) in 2021 dollars. The decommissioning cost estimate included costs through the expected decommissioning completion date, currently estimated to be in 2053 for San Onofre Units 2 and 3. SCE filed its updated decommissioning cost estimate with the CPUC in February 2022. Decommissioning cost estimates are subject to a number of uncertainties including the cost and timing of nuclear waste disposal, the time it will take to obtain required permits, cost of removal of property, site remediation costs, as well as a number of other assumptions and estimates, including when the federal government will provide for either interim or permanent off-site storage of spent nuclear fuel enabling the removal and transport of spent fuel canisters from the San Onofre site, as to which there can be no assurance. Cost estimates are subject to change as decommissioning proceeds and such changes may be material.

SCE's share of the San Onofre Units 2 and 3 decommissioning costs recorded during 2022 and 2021 were $187 million (in 2022 dollars) and $236 million (in 2021 dollars), respectively. The CPUC conducts a reasonableness review of recorded decommissioning costs.

In February 2022, SCE filed its application for reasonableness review of approximately $570 million (SCE share in 2022 dollars) of recorded San Onofre Units 2 and 3 decommissioning costs incurred during the period 2018 to 2020. Intervenors in the proceeding have recommended approximately $115 million (SCE share in 2022 dollars) in disallowances for San Onofre Units 2 and 3 decommissioning costs. This amount includes a recommended disallowance of approximately $45 million in costs associated with an August 2018 incident that occurred when an SCE contractor was loading a spent nuclear fuel canister into an ISFSI resulting in fuel transfer operations being suspended for approximately one year. The remainder of the recommended disallowance amount is primarily for contractor staffing costs incurred during a delay in issuance of the CDP to allow for decommissioning.

SCE had nuclear decommissioning trust funds for San Onofre Units 2 and 3 of $2.2 billion and $2.8 billion as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Based upon the resolution of a number of uncertainties, including the uncertainties of decommissioning discussed above, the financial performance of the nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments, as well as the resolution of a number of other assumptions and estimates, additional contributions to the nuclear decommissioning trust's funds may be required. If additional contributions to the nuclear decommissioning trust funds become necessary, SCE will seek recovery of such additional funds through electric rates and any such recovery will be subject to a reasonableness review by the CPUC. Cost increases resulting from contractual disputes, delays in performance by the contractor, elevated levels of inflation, or permitting delays, among other things, could cause SCE to materially overrun the decommissioning cost estimate and could materially impact the sufficiency of trust funds.

In December 2022, the CPUC approved disbursements from SCE's nuclear decommissioning trusts to cover forecasted 2023 decommissioning costs for San Onofre Units 2 and 3, of which SCE's share is approximately $300 million in 2023 dollars.

SCE Dividends

CPUC holding company rules require that SCE's dividend policy be established by SCE's Board of Directors on the same basis as if SCE were a stand-alone utility company, and that the capital requirements of SCE, as deemed to be necessary to meet SCE's electricity service obligations, shall receive first priority from the Boards of Directors of both Edison International and SCE. In addition, the CPUC regulates SCE's capital structure which limits the dividends it may pay to its shareholders.

The common equity component of SCE's CPUC authorized capital structure is 52% on a weighted average basis over the Capital Structure Compliance Period, unchanged from the January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022 compliance period. The CPUC authorized capital structure differs from the capital structure calculated based on GAAP due to certain exclusions allowed by CPUC, including the impact of SCE's contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund under AB 1054. For further information, see "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process" and "Business—Southern California Wildfires."

In May 2020, the CPUC issued a decision on SCE's application to the CPUC for waiver of compliance with its equity ratio requirement, that allows SCE to exclude from its equity ratio calculations (i) net charges accrued in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events and (ii) debt issued for the purpose of paying claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events up to an amount equal to the net charges accrued in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. With these exclusions, SCE was in compliance with its authorized capital structure for the compliance period from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022. The temporary exclusion lapsed on May 7, 2022. In April 2022, SCE filed another application requesting continued waiver of compliance with its equity ratio requirement. Under the CPUC's rules, SCE will not be deemed to be in violation of the equity ratio requirement while the waiver application is pending resolution. While the exclusion is in place, SCE is required to notify the CPUC if an adverse financial event reduces SCE's spot equity ratio by more than one percent from the level most recently filed with the CPUC in the proceeding. The last spot equity ratio SCE filed with the CPUC in the proceeding did not exclude the then $1.8 billion net charge and was 45.2% as of December 31, 2018 (at the time the common equity component of SCE's CPUC authorized capital structure was required to remain at or above 48% on a weighted average basis over the applicable 37-month period). SCE's spot equity ratio on December 31, 2018 would have been 48.7% had the $1.8 billion net charge at December 31, 2018 been excluded, therefore SCE will notify the CPUC if its spot ratio drops below 47.7% in any quarter. For further information, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."

SCE monitors its compliance with the CPUC's equity ratio requirement based on the weighted average of the common equity component of SCE's CPUC authorized capital structure over the Capital Structure Compliance Period using its actual capital structure from the beginning of the Capital Structure Compliance Period through the reporting date together with forecasted performance and expected financing activities for the remainder of the Capital Structure Compliance Period. SCE expects to be compliant with its CPUC authorized capital structure at the end of the Capital Structure Compliance Period.

SCE's ability to declare and pay common dividends may be restricted under the terms of its outstanding series of preference stock. For further information see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14. Equity."

As a California corporation, SCE's ability to pay dividends is also governed by the California General Corporation Law. California law requires that for a dividend to be declared: (a) retained earnings must equal or exceed the proposed dividend, or (b) immediately after the dividend is made, the value of the corporation's assets must exceed the value of its liabilities plus amounts required to be paid, if any, in order to liquidate stock senior to the shares receiving the dividend. Additionally, a California corporation may not declare a dividend if it is, or as a result of the dividend would be, likely to be unable to meet its liabilities as they mature. Prior to declaring dividends, SCE's Board of Directors evaluates available information, including when applicable, information pertaining to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, to ensure

25

Table of Contents

that the California law requirements for the declarations are met. On February 23, 2023, SCE declared a dividend to Edison International of $350 million.

The timing and amount of future dividends are also dependent on a number of other factors including SCE's requirements to fund other obligations and capital expenditures, and its ability to access the capital markets and generate operating cash flows and earnings. If SCE incurs significant costs related to catastrophic wildfires and is unable to recover such costs through insurance, the Wildfire Insurance Fund (for fires after July 12, 2019), or from customers or is unable to access capital markets on reasonable terms, SCE may be limited in its ability to pay future dividends to Edison International and its preference shareholders.

Margin and Collateral Deposits

Certain derivative instruments, power and energy procurement contracts and other contractual arrangements contain collateral requirements. In addition, certain environmental remediation obligations require financial assurance that may be in the form of collateral postings. Future collateral requirements may differ from the requirements at December 31, 2022 due to the addition of incremental power and energy procurement contracts with collateral requirements, if any, the impact of changes in wholesale power and natural gas prices on SCE's contractual obligations, and the impact of SCE's credit ratings falling below investment grade.

The table below provides the amount of collateral posted by SCE to its counterparties as well as the potential collateral that would have been required as of December 31, 2022, if SCE's credit rating had been downgraded to below investment grade as of that date. The table below also provides the potential collateral that could be required due to adverse changes in wholesale power and natural gas prices over the remaining lives of existing power and fuel derivative contracts. Natural gas prices have increased significantly in 2022 due to global demand and extreme weather conditions in the USA, which resulted in substantially higher collateral postings and potential collateral requirements during the year.

In addition to amounts shown in the table, power and fuel contract counterparties may also institute new collateral requirements, applicable to future transactions to allow SCE to continue trading in power and fuel contracts at the time of a downgrade or upon significant increases in market prices. In particular, SCE has an agreement with a counterparty for gas transport and balancing services through their pipeline. In December 2022, extreme winter conditions combined with pipeline constraints led to extremely high natural gas prices and usage, which affected collateral terms within the arrangement. Through December 31, 2022, the counterparty could have contractually requested $118 million in collateral from SCE but waived the amount, given the extraordinary conditions. Furthermore, SCE may also be required to post up to $50 million in collateral in connection with its environmental remediation obligations, within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year in which the downgrade occurs.

Edison International Parent and Other

In the next 12 months, Edison International expects to fund its net cash requirements through cash on hand, dividends from SCE, and capital market and bank financings. Edison International may finance its ongoing cash requirements, including dividends, working capital requirements, payment of obligations, and capital investments, including capital contributions to subsidiaries, with short-term or other financings, subject to availability in the bank and capital markets.

At December 31, 2022, Edison International Parent had cash on hand of $148 million and $1.4 billion available to borrow on its $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. The credit facility is available for borrowing needs until May 2026.

At December 31, 2022 Edison International Parent had $90 million outstanding commercial paper, net of discount, at a weighted-average interest rate of 4.92% supported by the $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. The aggregate maximum principal amount under the Edison International Parent revolving credit facility may be increased up to $2.0 billion, provided that additional lender commitments are obtained. For further details, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."

Edison International Parent has $1.4 billion of debt maturities arising in the next 12 months. Edison International expects to finance these maturities with $300 million to $400 million of equity content, as viewed by ratings agencies, and expects to issue debt for the remainder. In August 2022, Edison International Parent established a program to sell shares of its common stock with aggregate sales price up to $500 million, including through designated broker-dealers at prevailing market prices (an at-the-market offering). For further information, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14. Equity."

On February 23, 2023, Edison International declared a dividend of $0.7375 per share to be paid on April 30, 2023. Edison International Parent and Other's liquidity and its ability to pay operating expenses and pay dividends to common shareholders are dependent on access to the bank and capital markets, dividends from SCE, realization of tax benefits and its ability to meet California law requirements for the declaration of dividends. Prior to declaring dividends, Edison International's Board of Directors evaluates available information, including when applicable, information pertaining to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, to ensure that the California law requirements for the declarations are met. For information on the California law requirements on the declaration of dividends, see "—SCE—SCE Dividends." Edison International intends to maintain its target payout ratio of 45% – 55% of SCE's core earnings, subject to the factors identified above.

Edison International's ability to declare and pay common dividends may be restricted under the terms of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock. For further information see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14. Equity."

27

Table of Contents

Edison International Parent's credit facility requires a consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio as defined in the applicable agreements of less than or equal to 0.70 to 1. At December 31, 2022, Edison International's consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.64 to 1.

At December 31, 2022, Edison International Parent was in compliance with all financial covenants that affect access to capital.

The following table summarizes Edison International Parent's current long-term issuer credit ratings and outlook from the major credit rating agencies:

Moody'sFitchS&P
Credit RatingBaa3BBB-BBB
OutlookPositivePositiveStable

Edison International Parent's credit ratings may be affected if, among other things, regulators fail to successfully implement AB 1054 in a consistent and credit supportive manner or the Wildfire Insurance Fund is depleted by claims from catastrophic wildfires. Credit rating downgrades increase the cost and may impact the availability of short-term and long-term borrowings, including commercial paper, credit facilities, note financings or other borrowings.

Edison International Income Taxes

Net Operating Loss and Tax Credit Carryforwards

Edison International has approximately $3.4 billion of tax effected net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards at December 31, 2022 (after excluding $121 million of Capistrano Wind attributes and offsetting $310 million of unrecognized tax benefits), which are available to offset future consolidated tax liabilities.

See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes" for further information regarding taxes payable to Capistrano Wind. Edison International expects to utilize its net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards through 2029 based on currently enacted tax laws.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the IRA was signed into law. The law imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax ("CAMT") on adjusted financial statement income ("AFSI") of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1 billion over a specified 3-year period. The CAMT will be effective January 1, 2023. Based on the current interpretation of the law and historical financial data, Edison International estimates that it will exceed the $1 billion threshold and be subject to CAMT on its consolidated Federal tax returns beginning in 2025. SCE expects to be subject to CAMT on its stand-alone Federal return beginning in 2024.

The law also includes significant extensions, expansions, and enhancements of numerous energy-related investment tax credits, as well as creating new credits applicable to electricity production which may apply to SCE's capital expenditures. Under the IRA, SCE expects to generate investment tax credits related to its utility owned storage projects, which will accrue to the benefit of its customers.

Net cash provided by operating activities was impacted by the following:

Net income and non-cash items increased in 2022 by $186 million from 2021 primarily due to higher revenue due to the escalation mechanism as set forth in the 2021 GRC final decision and higher return on rate base from capital balancing accounts, partially offset by higher operation and maintenance expenses and higher interest expense.

Net cash provided by operating activities was also impacted by cash outflow of $95 million related to SCE's contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund in both 2022 and 2021. See "Business—Southern California Wildfires" for further information.

Table of Contents

Net cash inflow (outflow) for working capital was $327 million and $(705) million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The net cash inflow for working capital for 2022 was mainly due to an increase in payables of $343 million driven by higher payables on power purchase contracts and a net decrease of $24 million in customer receivables and unbilled revenue primarily from $387 million of CAPP funds received in 2022, partially offset by lower collections. The net cash outflow for working capital in 2021 was mainly due to net increases in unbilled revenue and customer receivables of

$700 million.

Net cash used in regulatory assets and liabilities, including the increase in net undercollections of balancing accounts, was $51 million and $720 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. SCE has a number of balancing and memorandum accounts, which impact cash flows based on differences between timing of collection of amounts through rates and accrual expenditures. Cash flows were primarily impacted by the following:

2022

Column 1Column 2
Net undercollections of BRRBA increased by $259 million primarily due to inclusion in BRRBA of $401 million of revenue requirement authorized under GRC track 2 for collection in customer rates starting March 2022 over a 36-month period, a revenue requirement of approximately $400 million authorized under GRC track 3 for collection in customer rates starting October 2022 over a 36-month period, and $174 million CSRP related expenses approved in September 2022. These higher undercollections were partially offset by current year overcollections due to higher sales volume and average rates due to extreme heat in California and recovery of prior year undercollections, including 2021 GRC authorized additional revenue requirement for the first nine months of 2021 to be collected over a 27-month period starting October 2021.
Column 1Column 2
Undercollections decreased by $180 million related to wildfire risk mitigation and restoration memorandum and balancing accounts as a result of approval to recover costs in GRC track 2 and track 3, which were transferred to BRRBA for recovery as mentioned above, partially offset by additional WEMA and wildfire risk mitigation and restoration costs incurred.
Column 1Column 2
Net undercollections for ERRA, PABA and NSGBA increased by $795 million primarily due to current year undercollections due to higher than forecast energy prices and load, partially offset by higher sales volume and higher average rates driven by extreme heat in California and recovery of prior PABA and NSGBA undercollections.
Column 1Column 2
Increased overcollections of $511 million for the public purpose and energy efficiency programs primarily due to lower program spending due to timing and increased sales volume.
Column 1Column 2
Net overcollection increased by $178 million for the FERC balancing accounts primarily due to current year overcollections due to higher sales volume, recovery of prior year undercollections and lower operating expenses than amounts included in revenue requirements.
Column 1Column 2
Increase in overcollections of $56 million for excess California Department of Water Resources ("DWR") bond and power charges to be refunded to customers over a 12-month period beginning in June 2022.

Undercollections from COVID-19-related memorandum and balancing accounts decreased by $82 million due to transfer of $182 million to ERRA and public purpose programs, partially offset by additional customer uncollectible expenses.
Column 1Column 2
Undercollections of $98 million in the CSRP memorandum account were related to CSRP implementation costs.

Cash flows (used in) or provided by other noncurrent assets and liabilities were primarily related to an increase in wildfire insurance receivables of $(398) million in 2022 and an insurance recovery of $708 million in 2021. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies" for further information.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities are primarily due to capital expenditures and funding of nuclear decommissioning trusts. Cash used in capital expenditures were $5.8 billion, $5.5 billion and $5.5 billion for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, primarily related to transmission, distribution and generation investments. SCE had a net redemption of nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $123 million, $256 million and $197 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. See "Nuclear Decommissioning Activities" below for further discussion.

Proceeds from sale of investments4,1773,9615,927
Purchases of investments(4,054)(3,705)(5,730)
Net cash impact$12$(13)$(1)

Net cash used in operating activities relates to interest and dividends less administrative expenses, taxes and SCE's decommissioning costs. Investing activities represent the purchase and sale of investments within the nuclear decommissioning trusts, including the reinvestment of earnings from nuclear decommissioning trust investments.

Funds for decommissioning costs are requested from the nuclear decommissioning trusts one month in advance. Decommissioning disbursements are funded from sales of investments of the nuclear decommissioning trusts. The net cash impact reflects timing of decommissioning payments ($189 million, $238 million and $223 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively) and reimbursements to SCE from the nuclear decommissioning trust ($201 million, $225 million and $222 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively).

Contractual Obligations and Contingencies

Contractual Obligations

SCE and Edison International Parent and Other have various contractual obligations, which are recorded as liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Other items, such as certain purchase commitments and other executory contracts, are not recognized as liabilities in the consolidated financial statements but are required to be disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

For details on long-term debt, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."

Certain power purchase agreements which SCE entered into with independent power producers are treated as operating or finance leases. In addition, SCE has other operating lease obligations primarily related to vehicles, office space and other equipment. For further discussion, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies" and "—Note 13. Leases."

SCE also has other purchase obligations primarily related to maintaining reliability and expanding SCE's transmission and distribution system and nuclear fuel supply contracts. For further discussion, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies."

Edison International Parent and Other and SCE have estimated contributions to the pension and PBOP plans. These amounts represent estimates that are based on assumptions that are subject to change. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 9. Compensation and Benefit Plans" for further information.

Edison International and SCE have a total net liability recorded for uncertain tax positions. Edison International and SCE cannot make reliable estimates of the cash flows by period due to uncertainty surrounding the timing of resolving these

open tax issues with the tax authorities. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes" for further information.

For details on derivative obligations and asset retirement obligations, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 6. Derivative Instruments" and "—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," respectively.

Contingencies

Edison International's and SCE's contingencies are discussed in "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies."

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

SCE has variable interests in power purchase contracts with variable interest entities and a variable interest in unconsolidated Trust II, Trust III, Trust IV, Trust V and Trust VI that issued $400 million (aggregate liquidation preference) of 5.10%, $275 million (aggregate liquidation preference) of 5.75%, $325 million (aggregate liquidation preference) of 5.375%, $300 million (aggregate liquidation preference) of 5.45% and $475 million (aggregate liquidation preference) of 5.00%, trust securities, respectively, to the public. In 2020, SCE Trust II redeemed $180 million of its trust securities from the public, from its issued trust securities of $400 million. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 3. Variable Interest Entities."

MARKET RISK EXPOSURES

Edison International's and SCE's primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates, commodity prices and volumes, and counterparty credit. Derivative instruments are used to manage market risks including market risks to SCE's customers. For further discussion of market risk exposures, including commodity price risk, credit risk and interest rate risk, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 6. Derivative Instruments" and "—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements."

Interest Rate Risk

Edison International and SCE are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of financing, investing and borrowing activities used for liquidity purposes, and to fund business operations and capital investments. The nature and amount of Edison International's and SCE's long-term and short-term debt can be expected to vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. Fluctuations in interest rates can affect earnings and cash flows. Changes in interest rates may impact SCE's authorized rate of return for the period beyond 2023 through a CPUC cost of capital adjustment mechanism, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE" and "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process" for further discussion. The following table summarizes the increase or decrease to the fair value of long-term debt including the current portion, if the market interest rates were changed while leaving all other assumptions the same:

(in millions)Carrying ValueFair Value10% Increase10% Decrease

December 31, 202122,11024,37523,60325,196

Commodity Price Risk

SCE and its customers are exposed to the risk of a change in the market price of natural gas, electric power and transmission congestion. Due to regulatory mechanisms, exposure to commodity prices is not expected to impact

34

Table of Contents

earnings but may impact timing of cash flows. SCE's hedging program is designed to reduce exposure to variability in market prices related to SCE's purchases and sales of electric power and natural gas. As part of this program, SCE enters into energy options, swaps, forward arrangements and congestion revenue rights ("CRRs"). The transactions are pre-approved by the CPUC or executed in compliance with CPUC-approved procurement plans. Therefore, SCE expects recovery of its related hedging costs, as well as procurement costs, through the ERRA balancing account or CPUC-approved procurement plans. For more details of the ERRA balancing account, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Regulatory Proceedings—ERRA Proceeding" and "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process."

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The fair value of derivative instruments is included in the consolidated balance sheets unless subject to an exception under the applicable accounting guidance. Realized gains and losses from derivative instruments are expected to be recovered from or refunded to customers through regulatory mechanisms and, accordingly, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments have no impact on earnings. SCE does not use hedge accounting for these transactions due to this regulatory accounting treatment. For further discussion on fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements."

The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments used to mitigate exposure to commodity price risk was a net asset of $240 million and $44 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The following table summarizes the increase or decrease to the fair values of the net asset of derivative instruments included in the consolidated balance sheets, if the electricity prices or gas prices were changed while leaving all other assumptions constant:

Increase in electricity prices by 10%$22$13
Decrease in electricity prices by 10%(22)(13)
Increase in gas prices by 10%4020
Decrease in gas prices by 10%(40)(20)

Investment Price Risk

Edison International and SCE are subject to investment price risk due to securities held as investments in the nuclear decommissioning trust and various pension and other post-retirement benefit plan trusts.

Nuclear Decommissioning Trust

As of December 31, 2022, SCE's nuclear decommissioning trust investments consist of equity investments of $1.6 billion and fixed income investments of $2.2 billion. These investments are exposed to price fluctuations in equity markets and changes in interest rates. SCE's investment policies and CPUC requirements place limitations on the types and investment grade ratings of the securities that may be held by the nuclear decommissioning trust. These policies restrict the trust from holding alternative investments and limit the trust funds' exposures to investments in highly illiquid markets. Due to regulatory mechanisms, investment earnings and realized and unrealized gains and losses increase or decrease the trust assets and the related regulatory asset or liability, and do not materially affect earnings. For further discussion on the nuclear decommissioning trust investments, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements" and "—Note 10. Investments."

PBOP and Pension Plan Assets

The PBOP Plan and the Southern California Edison Company Retirement Plan Trust assets include investments in equity securities, U.S. treasury securities, other fixed-income securities, common/collective funds, mutual funds, other investment entities, foreign exchange and interest rate contracts, and partnership/joint ventures. These investments are

35

Table of Contents

exposed to price fluctuations in equity markets and changes in interest rates. The investment of plan assets is overseen by a fiduciary investment committee. Risk is managed through diversification among multiple asset classes, managers, styles and securities. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 9. Compensation and Benefit Plans" for additional information regarding investment strategy of plan assets.

A significant decline in the value of plan assets could require SCE to increase funding of its pension and PBOP plans in future periods, which could adversely affect cash flows in those periods. Annual contributions related to SCE employees made to SCE plans are anticipated to be recovered through CPUC-approved regulatory mechanisms.

Credit Risk

Credit risk exposure from counterparties for power and gas trading activities is measured as the sum of net accounts receivable (accounts receivable less accounts payable) and the current fair value of net derivative assets (derivative assets less derivative liabilities) reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. SCE enters into master agreements which typically provide for a right of set-off. Accordingly, SCE's credit risk exposure from counterparties is based on a net exposure under these arrangements. SCE manages the credit risk on the portfolio of counterparties based on credit ratings and other publicly disclosed information, such as financial statements, regulatory filings and press releases, to guide it in the process of setting credit levels, risk limits and contractual arrangements, including master netting agreements. Based on SCE's policies and risk exposures related to credit, SCE does not anticipate a material adverse effect on their financial statements as a result of counterparty nonperformance. At December 31, 2022, SCE's power and gas trading counterparty credit risk exposure was $239 million, all of which is associated with entities that have an investment grade rating of A or higher. SCE assigns a credit rating to counterparties based on the lowest of a counterparty's S&P's, Moody's and Fitch's rating.

For more information related to credit risks, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 6. Derivative Instruments."

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES

The accounting policies described below are considered critical to obtaining an understanding of Edison International's and SCE's consolidated financial statements because their application requires the use of significant estimates and judgments by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Management estimates and judgments are inherently uncertain and may differ significantly from actual results achieved. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if the estimate requires significant assumptions and changes in the estimate or, the use of alternative estimates, could have a material impact on Edison International's and SCE's results of operations or financial position. For more information on Edison International's and SCE's accounting policies, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."

Accounting for Contingencies

Nature of Estimates Required. Edison International and SCE record loss contingencies when management determines that the outcome of future events is probable of occurring and when the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies are recognized in the financial statements when they are realized.

Key Assumptions and Approach Used. The determination of an accrual for a loss contingency is based on management judgment and estimates with respect to the likely outcome of the matter, including the analysis of different scenarios. Liabilities are recorded or adjusted when events or circumstances cause these judgments or estimates to change. In assessing whether a loss is a reasonable possibility, Edison International and SCE may consider the following factors, among others: the nature of the litigation, claim or assessment, available information, opinions or views of legal counsel and other advisors, and the experience gained from similar cases. Edison International and SCE provide disclosures for material contingencies when there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or an additional loss may be incurred.

36

Table of Contents

Effect if Different Assumptions Used. Actual amounts realized upon settlement of contingencies may be different than amounts recorded and disclosed and could have a significant impact on the liabilities, revenue and expenses recorded on the consolidated financial statements. For a discussion of contingencies, guarantees and indemnities, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies."

Application to 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events

As discussed in "Management Overview," wildfires in SCE's territory in December 2017 and November 2018 caused loss of life, substantial damage to both residential and business properties, and service outages for SCE customers.

The extent of legal liability for wildfire-related damages in actions against utilities depends on a number of factors, including whether the utility substantially caused or contributed to the damages and whether parties seeking recovery of damages will be required to show negligence in addition to causation. Final determinations of legal liability for wildfire events, including determinations of whether SCE was negligent, would only be made during lengthy and complex litigation processes and settlements may be reached before determinations of legal liability are ever made.

Edison International and SCE have incurred material losses in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. Estimated losses for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation are based on a number of assumptions and are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Actual losses incurred may be higher or lower than estimated based on several factors, including the uncertainty in estimating damages that have been or may be alleged. For instance, SCE will receive additional information with respect to damages claimed as the claims mediation processes progress. Other factors that can cause actual losses incurred to be higher or lower than estimated include the ability to reach settlements and the outcomes of settlements reached through the ongoing claims mediation processes, uncertainties related to the sufficiency of insurance held by plaintiffs, uncertainties related to the litigation processes, including whether plaintiffs will ultimately pursue claims, uncertainty as to the legal and factual determinations to be made during litigation, including uncertainty as to the contributing causes of the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, the complexities associated with fires that merge and whether inverse condemnation will be held applicable to SCE with respect to damages caused by the Montecito Mudslides, and the uncertainty as to how these factors impact future settlements.

Each reporting period, management reviews its loss estimates for remaining alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. Management's 2022 reviews included a review of large damage claims presented by a small number of plaintiffs, new lawsuits filed in the Woolsey Fire litigation and information obtained after the statute of limitations for individual plaintiffs for the Woolsey Fire expired, including information regarding the nature of claims remaining in the Woolsey Fire litigation. Management also reviewed information obtained from settling a substantial portion of the claims in the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigations, including higher than expected costs to settle claims. As a result of management's reviews during 2022, SCE recorded a $1.3 billion increase in estimated losses for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events during the year.

In total, through December 31, 2022, SCE has accrued estimated losses of $8.8 billion, has paid or is obligated to pay approximately $7.8 billion in settlements and has recovered $2.0 billion from its insurance carriers and approximately $234 million through FERC-jurisdictional electric rates in relation to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. At December 31, 2022 Edison International's and SCE's best estimate of expected losses for remaining alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events is $934 million.

Edison International and SCE may incur a material loss in excess of amounts accrued in connection with the remaining alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. Due to the number of uncertainties and possible outcomes related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation, Edison International and SCE cannot estimate the upper end of the range of reasonably possible losses that may be incurred.

Table of Contents

Rate Regulated Enterprises

Nature of Estimate Required.   SCE follows the accounting principles for rate-regulated enterprises which are required for entities whose rates are set by regulators at levels intended to recover the estimated costs of providing service, plus a return on net investment, or rate base. Regulators may also impose penalties or grant incentives. Due to timing and other differences in the collection of revenue, these principles allow a cost that would otherwise be charged as an expense by an unregulated entity to be capitalized as a regulatory asset if it is probable that such cost is recoverable through future rates; conversely the principles allow creation of a regulatory liability for amounts collected in rates to recover costs expected to be incurred in the future or amounts collected in excess of costs incurred and refundable to customers. In addition, SCE recognizes revenue and regulatory assets from alternative revenue programs, which enables the utility to adjust future rates in response to past activities or completed events, if certain criteria are met, even for programs that do not qualify for recognition of "traditional" regulatory assets and liabilities.

Accounting principles for rate-regulated enterprises also require recognition of an impairment loss if it becomes probable that the regulated utility will abandon a plant investment, or if it becomes probable that the cost of a recently completed plant will be disallowed, either directly or indirectly, for ratemaking purposes and a reasonable estimate of the amount of the disallowance can be made.

Key Assumptions and Approach Used.   SCE's management assesses at the end of each reporting period whether regulatory assets are probable of future recovery by considering factors such as the current regulatory environment, the issuance of rate orders on recovery of the specific or a similar incurred cost to SCE or other rate-regulated entities, and other factors that would indicate that the regulator will treat an incurred cost as allowable for ratemaking purposes. Using these factors, management has determined that existing regulatory assets and liabilities are probable of future recovery or settlement. This determination reflects the current regulatory climate and is subject to change in the future. SCE also considers whether any plant investments are probable of abandonment or disallowance.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used.   Significant management judgment is required to evaluate the anticipated recovery of regulatory assets and plant investments, the recognition of incentives and revenue subject to refund, as well as the anticipated cost of regulatory liabilities or penalties. If future recovery of costs ceases to be probable, all or part of the regulatory assets, plant investments and/or liabilities would have to be written off against current period earnings. At December 31, 2022, the consolidated balance sheets included regulatory assets of $10.7 billion and regulatory liabilities of $9.2 billion. If different judgments were reached on recovery of costs and timing of income recognition, SCE's earnings may vary from the amounts reported.

Recovery of SCE's losses realized in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events in excess of available insurance is subject to approval by regulators. Under accounting standards for rate-regulated enterprises, SCE defers costs as regulatory assets when it concludes that such costs are probable of future recovery in electric rates. SCE utilizes objectively determinable evidence to form its view on probability of future recovery. The only directly comparable precedent in which a California investor-owned utility has sought recovery for uninsured wildfire-related costs is SDG&E's requests for cost recovery related to 2007 wildfire activity, where the FERC allowed recovery of all FERC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs while the CPUC rejected recovery of all CPUC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs based on a determination that SDG&E did not meet the CPUC's prudency standard. As a result, while SCE does not agree with the CPUC's decision, it believes that the CPUC's interpretation and application of the prudency standard to SDG&E creates substantial uncertainty regarding how that standard will be applied to an investor-owned utility in wildfire cost-recovery proceedings for fires ignited prior to July 12, 2019. SCE will continue to evaluate the probability of recovery based on available evidence, including judicial, legislative and regulatory decisions, including any CPUC

decisions illustrating the interpretation and/or application of the prudency standard when making determinations regarding recovery of uninsured wildfire-related costs. While the CPUC has not made a determination regarding SCE's prudency relative to any of the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, SCE is unable to conclude, at this time, that uninsured CPUC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs are probable of recovery through electric rates. SCE would record a regulatory asset at the time it obtains sufficient information to support a conclusion that recovery is probable.

Through the operation of its FERC Formula Rate, and based upon the precedent established in SDG&E's recovery of FERC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs, SCE believes it is probable it will recover its FERC-jurisdictional wildfire and mudslide related costs and has recorded total expected recoveries within the FERC balancing account.

Application to Post-2018 Wildfires

Management judgment was required to assess the probability of recovery of SCE's losses realized in connection with the Post-2018 Wildfires in excess of available insurance.

The CPUC and FERC may not allow SCE to recover uninsured losses through electric rates if it is determined that such losses were not reasonably or prudently incurred. On July 12, 2019, AB 1054 clarified that the CPUC must allow recovery of costs and expenses arising from a covered wildfire if the utility's conduct related to the ignition was consistent with actions that a reasonable utility would have undertaken in good faith under similar circumstances, at the relevant point in time, and based on the information available at that time. Further, utilities with a valid safety certification at the time of the relevant wildfire will be presumed to have acted prudently related to a wildfire ignition unless a party in the cost recovery proceeding creates "serious doubt" as to the reasonableness of the utility's conduct, at which time, the burden shifts back to the utility to dispel that doubt and prove its conduct was prudent. The serious doubt standard in AB 1054 is modeled after the FERC cost recovery standard. SCE evaluates the probability of recovery for Post-2018 Wildfires in the context of the prudency standard laid out by AB 1054 above. This assessment is made based on SCE’s status as a holder of a valid safety certificate, facts known to date related to the ignition, and any regulatory decisions illustrating the interpretation and/or application of the prudency standard under AB 1054, which as of December 31, 2022 has not been applied by the CPUC to an actual cost recovery application filed by any California investor-owned utility. SCE also considers which costs are eligible for recovery based on precedents from other CPUC cost recovery proceedings. Management’s assessment of the probability of recovery may change, related to changes in any of these factors in the future.

Income Taxes

Nature of Estimates Required.   As part of the process of preparing its consolidated financial statements, Edison International and SCE are required to estimate income taxes for each jurisdiction in which they operate. This process involves estimating actual current period tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depreciation, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within Edison International's and SCE's consolidated balance sheets, including net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Certain estimates and assumptions are required to determine whether deferred tax assets can and will be utilized in future periods. Based on currently enacted tax laws, Edison International expects to generate sufficient taxable income beginning in 2023 to fully utilize all loss and credit carryovers set to expire beyond 2022.

Edison International and SCE take certain tax positions they believe are in accordance with the applicable tax laws. However, these tax positions are subject to interpretation by the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities and the courts. Edison International and SCE determine uncertain tax positions in accordance with the authoritative guidance.

Key Assumptions and Approach Used.   In determining whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards can be utilized, management analyzes the trend of GAAP earnings and then

39

Table of Contents

estimates the impact of future taxable income, reversing temporary differences and available prudent and feasible tax planning strategies based on currently enacted tax laws.

Accounting for tax obligations requires management judgment. Edison International's and SCE's management use judgment in determining whether the evidence indicates it is more likely than not, based solely on the technical merits, that a tax position will be sustained, and to determine the amount of tax benefits to be recognized. Judgment is also used in determining the likelihood a tax position will be settled and possible settlement outcomes. In assessing uncertain tax positions Edison International and SCE consider, among others, the following factors: the facts and circumstances of the position, regulations, rulings, and case law, opinions or views of legal counsel and other advisers, and the experience gained from similar tax positions. Edison International and SCE evaluate uncertain tax positions at the end of each reporting period and make adjustments when warranted based on changes in fact or law.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used.   Should a change in facts or circumstances, including a change in enacted tax legislation, lead to a change in judgment about the ultimate realizability of a deferred tax asset, Edison International and SCE would record or adjust the related valuation allowance in the period that the change in facts and circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding increase or decrease in the provision for income taxes.

Actual income taxes may differ from the estimated amounts which could have a significant impact on the liabilities, revenue and expenses recorded in the financial statements. Edison International and SCE continue to be under audit or subject to audit for multiple years in various jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required to determine the tax treatment of particular tax positions that involve interpretations of complex tax laws. Such liabilities are based on judgment and a final determination could take many years from the time the liability is recorded. Furthermore, settlement of tax positions included in open tax years may be resolved by compromises of tax positions based on current factors and business considerations that may result in material adjustments to income taxes previously estimated. For a discussion of current and deferred taxes, net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, unrecognized tax benefits, and tax disputes, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes."

Nuclear Decommissioning – Asset Retirement Obligation

Key Assumptions and Approach Used.   San Onofre Units 1, 2 and 3 decommissioning cost estimates are updated in each Nuclear Decommissioning Cost Triennial Proceeding ("NDCTP") and when there are material changes to the timing or amount of estimated future cash flows. Palo Verde decommissioning cost estimates are updated by the operating agent, Arizona Public Services, every three years and when there are material changes to the timing or amount of estimated future cash flows. SCE estimates that it will spend approximately $6.3 billion, undiscounted through 2080, to decommission its nuclear facilities.

The current ARO estimates for San Onofre and Palo Verde are based on:

Column 1Column 2
Decommissioning Costs. The estimated costs for labor, material, equipment and other, and low-level radioactive waste costs are included in each of the NRC decommissioning stages: license termination, site restoration and spent fuel storage. The liability to decommission SCE's nuclear power facilities is based on a 2020 decommissioning study, filed as part of the 2021 NDCTP, for San Onofre Unit 1, 2 and 3 and a 2019 decommissioning study for Palo Verde, with revisions to the cost estimate in 2020.
Column 1Column 2
Escalation Rates. Annual escalation rates are used to convert the decommissioning cost estimates in base year dollars to decommissioning cost estimates in future-year dollars. Escalation rates are primarily used for labor, material, equipment and low-level radioactive waste burial costs. SCE's current estimates are based upon SCE's decommissioning cost methodology used for ratemaking purposes. Average escalation rates range from 2.3% to 7.5% (depending on the cost element) annually.

40

Table of Contents

Column 1Column 2
Timing. Initial decommissioning activities at San Onofre Unit 1 started in 1999 and at Units 2 and 3 in 2013. Cost estimates for San Onofre Units are currently based on completion of decommissioning activities by 2053. Cost estimates for Palo Verde are based on an assumption that decommissioning will commence promptly after the current NRC operating licenses expire. The Palo Verde 1, 2, 3 operating licenses currently expire in 2045, 2046 and 2047, respectively.
Column 1Column 2
Spent Fuel Dry Storage Costs. Cost estimates, including the impact of escalations, are based on an assumption that the U.S. Department of Energy will begin to take spent fuel from the nuclear industry in 2031 and will remove the last spent fuel from the San Onofre and Palo Verde sites by 2051 and 2078, respectively.
Column 1Column 2
Changes in Decommissioning Technology, Regulation and Economics. The current cost studies assume the use of current technologies under current regulations and at current cost levels.

See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Decommissioning of San Onofre" for further discussion of the plans for decommissioning of San Onofre.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used.   The ARO for decommissioning SCE's nuclear facilities was $2.3 billion as of December 31, 2022, based on the decommissioning studies performed and the subsequent cost estimate updates. Changes in the estimated costs, execution strategy or timing of decommissioning, or in the assumptions and judgments by management underlying these estimates, could cause material revisions to the estimated total cost to decommission these facilities which could have a material effect on the recorded liability.

The following table illustrates the increase to the ARO liability if the cost escalation rate was adjusted while leaving all other assumptions constant:

Increase to ARO at
(in millions)December 31, 2022
Uniform increase in escalation rate of 1 percentage point$584

The increase in the ARO liability driven by an increase in the escalation rate would result in a decrease in the regulatory liability for recoveries in excess of ARO liabilities.

Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions

Nature of Estimate Required.   Authoritative accounting guidance requires companies to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans as assets and liabilities in the balance sheet; the assets and/or liabilities are normally offset through other comprehensive income (loss). In accordance with authoritative guidance for rate-regulated enterprises, regulatory assets and liabilities are recorded instead of charges and credits to other comprehensive income (loss) for its postretirement benefit plans that are recoverable in utility rates. Edison International and SCE have a fiscal year-end measurement date for all of their postretirement plans.

Key Assumptions of Approach Used.   Pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and the related effects on results of operations are calculated using actuarial models. Two critical assumptions, discount rate and expected return on assets, are important elements of plan expense, and the discount rate is important to liability measurement. Additionally, health care cost trend rates are critical assumptions for postretirement health care plans. These critical assumptions are evaluated at least annually. Other assumptions, which require management judgment, such as rate of compensation increases and rates of retirement and turnover, are evaluated periodically and updated to reflect actual experience.

As of December 31, 2022, Edison International's and SCE's pension plans had a $3.5 billion and $3.2 billion projected benefit obligation, respectively, and total 2022 expense for these plans was $19 million and $16 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the accumulated benefit obligation for both Edison International's and SCE's PBOP plans were

41

Table of Contents

$1.3 billion, and total 2022 expense for Edison International's PBOP plan were $1 million, and no expense for SCE's PBOP plan. Annual contributions made to most of SCE's pension and PBOP plan are anticipated to be recovered through CPUC-approved regulatory mechanisms and are expected to be, at a minimum, equal to the related annual expense.

Pension expense is recorded for SCE based on the amount funded to the trusts, as calculated using an actuarial method required for ratemaking purposes, in which the impact of market volatility on plan assets is recognized in earnings on a more gradual basis. Any difference between pension expense calculated in accordance with ratemaking methods and pension expense calculated in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance for pension is accumulated as a regulatory asset or liability, and is expected, over time, to be recovered from or returned to customers. As of December 31, 2022, this cumulative difference amounted to $63 million, meaning that the ratemaking method has recognized less in expense than the accounting method since implementation of authoritative guidance for employers' accounting for pensions in 1987, which was offset by a regulatory liability for the current funding level of SCE's pension plan.

Edison International and SCE used the following critical assumptions to determine expense for pension and PBOP for 2022:

Postretirement
PensionBenefits Other
(in millions)Plansthan Pensions
Discount rate12.75%2.95%
Expected long-term return on plan assets25.50%3.50%
Assumed health care cost trend rates3*6.25%

*     Not applicable to pension plans.

Column 1Column 2
1The discount rate enables Edison International and SCE to state expected future cash flows at a present value on the measurement date. Edison International and SCE select its discount rate by performing a yield curve analysis. This analysis determines the equivalent discount rate on projected cash flows by matching the timing and amount of expected future benefit payments to the corresponding yields from the Willis Towers Watson RATE: Link 10th – 90th percentile yield curve model on the measurement date.
Column 1Column 2
2To determine the expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, current and expected asset allocations are considered, as well as historical and expected returns on plan assets. A portion of PBOP trusts asset returns are subject to taxation, so the 3.50% rate of return on plan assets above is determined on an after-tax basis. Actual time-weighted, annualized returns on the pension plan assets were (13.4)%, 5.1% and 7.4% for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. Actual time-weighted, annualized returns on the PBOP plan assets were (18.9)%, 2.1% and 5.8% over these same periods. Accounting principles provide that differences between expected and actual returns are recognized over the average future service of employees.
Column 1Column 2
3The health care cost trend rate gradually declines to 5.0% for 2029 and beyond.

As of December 31, 2022, Edison International and SCE had unrecognized pension gains of $122 million and $131 million, respectively, and unrecognized PBOP gains of $869 million and $867 million, respectively. The unrecognized pension and PBOP gains primarily consisted of the cumulative impact of the increased discount rates on the respective benefit obligations and the cumulative difference between the expected and actual rate of return on plan assets. Of these deferred gains, $139 million of SCE's pension gains and $867 million of SCE's PBOP gains are recorded as regulatory liabilities, respectively, and are expected to refund over the average expected future service of employees.

Edison International's and SCE's pension and PBOP plans are subject to limits established for federal tax deductibility. SCE funds its pension and PBOP plans in accordance with amounts allowed by the CPUC. Executive pension plans have no plan assets.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used.   Changes in the estimated costs or timing of pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, or the assumptions and judgments used by management underlying these estimates, could have a material effect on the recorded expenses and liabilities.

The following table summarizes the increase or decrease to projected benefit obligation for pension and the accumulated benefit obligation for PBOP if the discount rate were changed while leaving all other assumptions constant:

A one percentage point increase in the expected rate of return on pension plan assets would decrease Edison International's and SCE's current year expense by $33 million and $31 million, respectively, and a one percentage point increase in the expected rate of return on PBOP plan assets would decrease both Edison International's and SCE's current year expense by $21 million.

Contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund

Nature of Estimates Required. At December 31, 2022, Edison International and SCE have a $2.2 billion long-term asset and a $204 million current asset reflected as "Wildfire Insurance Fund contributions" in the consolidated balance sheets for the initial $2.4 billion contribution made during 2019 and the present value of annual contributions SCE committed to make to the Wildfire Insurance Fund, reduced by amortization. At December 31, 2022, a long-term liability of $536 million has been reflected in "Other deferred credits and other long-term liabilities" for the present value of unpaid contribution amounts. Contributions were discounted to the present value at the date SCE committed to participate in the Wildfire Insurance Fund using US treasury interest rates.

Management concluded it would be most appropriate to account for the contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund similar to prepaid insurance, ratably allocating the expense to periods based on an estimated period of coverage.

Key Assumptions and Approach Used. The Wildfire Insurance Fund does not have a defined life. Instead, the Wildfire Insurance Fund will terminate when the administrator determines that the fund has been exhausted. In 2022, management estimated that the Wildfire Insurance Fund will provide insurance coverage for a period of 15 years from the date SCE committed to participate in the Wildfire Insurance Fund. The determination of the correct period in which to record an expense in relation to contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund depends, among other factors, on management's assessment of: the future occurrence and magnitude of wildfires; the involvement of SCE, or other electrical corporations which could access the Wildfire Insurance Fund, in the ignition of those fires; the probable future outcomes of CPUC cost recovery proceedings for wildfire claims, which may require reimbursement of the fund by electrical corporations; and the use of the contributions by the administrator of the Wildfire Insurance Fund. Further information regarding these factors may become available due to the actions of the fund administrator, or other entities, which could require management to reassess the period of coverage. In estimating the period of coverage, Edison International and SCE used Monte Carlo simulations based on eight years (2014 – 2021) of historical data from wildfires caused by electrical utility equipment to estimate expected loss. The details of the operation of the Wildfire Insurance Fund and estimates related to claims by SCE, PG&E and SDG&E against the fund have been applied to the expected loss simulations to estimate the period of coverage of the fund. The most sensitive inputs to the estimated period of coverage are the expected frequency of wildfire events caused by investor-owned utility electrical equipment and the estimated costs associated with those forecasted events. These inputs are most affected by the historical data used in estimating expected losses. Using a 15-year period (2007 – 2021) of historical data would increase the period of coverage to over 20 years.

Table of Contents

Based on information available in the first quarter of 2023 regarding catastrophic wildfires during 2022, SCE reassessed its estimate of the life of the Wildfire Insurance Fund. After incorporating 2022 expected losses into the historical data for the Monte Carlo simulations, SCE determined the expected life of the Wildfire Insurance Fund remained 15 years from the date SCE committed to participate in the Wildfire Insurance Fund.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used. Changes in the estimated life of the insurance fund could have a material impact on the expense recognition.

Edison International's earnings are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses core earnings (losses) internally for financial planning and for analysis of performance. Core earnings (losses) 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. Core earnings (losses) are a non-GAAP financial measure and may not be comparable to those of other companies. Core earnings (losses) are defined as earnings attributable to Edison International shareholders less non-core items. Non-core items include income or loss from discontinued operations and income or loss from significant discrete items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings,

such as write downs, asset impairments and other income and expense related to changes in law, outcomes in tax, regulatory or legal proceedings, and exit activities, including sale of certain assets and other activities that are no longer continuing.

Edison International's 2021 earnings increased $20 million, driven by an increase in SCE's earnings of $19 million and a decrease in Edison International Parent and Other losses of $1 million. SCE's higher net income consisted of $99 million of higher non-core losses and $118 million of higher core earnings.

The increase in SCE's core earnings was due to higher revenue from the 2021 GRC final decision, higher FERC revenue and income tax benefits from the settlement of 2007 – 2012 California tax audits, partially offset by lower insurance benefits and higher property taxes.

Edison International Parent and Other lower losses consisted of $64 million of higher non-core earnings and $63 million higher core losses. The increase in core losses in 2021 was primarily due to higher preferred dividends as a result of preferred equity issuances in 2021.

Consolidated non-core items for 2021 and 2020 for Edison International included:

Electricity Industry Trends

The electric power industry is undergoing transformative change driven by technological advances, such as customer-owned generation, electric vehicles and energy storage, which are altering the nature of energy generation and delivery. California is committed to reducing its GHG emissions, improving local air quality and supporting continued economic growth. The state set goals to reduce GHG emissions by 40% from 1990 levels by 2030 and 80% from the same baseline by 2050. Additionally, the state is aiming to be carbon neutral by 2045. State and local air quality plans call for substantial improvements. In the most polluted areas of the state this includes reducing smog-causing nitrogen oxides 90% below 2010 levels by 2032. If California is to meet its 2030 and 2045 climate change goals, the state must quadruple its annual rate of greenhouse gas reductions by adopting market-transforming policies and incentives that address historical inequities within the next one to two years. While these policy goals cannot be achieved by the electric sector alone, the electric grid is a critical enabler of the adoption of new energy technologies that support California's climate change and GHG reduction objectives. California has set RPS targets which require California retail sellers of electricity to provide 60% of energy sales from renewable resources by 2030. California also requires sellers of electricity to deliver 100% of retail sales from carbon free sources by 2045. In 2021, approximately 42% of SCE's customer deliveries came from carbon-free resources. SCE remains well-positioned to meet its 2030 and 2045 RPS and carbon-free power goals and interim targets. In addition, Edison International is committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2045, in alignment with economy-wide climate actions planned by California. This commitment covers the power SCE delivers to customers and Edison International's enterprise-wide operations.

The current federal administration has shown an enhanced and renewed desire to respond to climate change through numerous regulatory and Executive Order actions including for the development of more robust fuel efficiency and vehicle emission standards. Many of these actions align with internal company goals and efforts to address and mitigate climate change. Additionally, Congress passed historic infrastructure legislation that provides significant new funding to electrify the economy. Edison International believes these actions complement its industry-leading efforts to equitably transition to a decarbonized economy.

Edison International believes that California's 2045 goals can be achieved most economically through emissions reductions from using clean electricity serving 100% of retail sales, electrifying approximately 76% of light-duty vehicles, 67% of medium-duty vehicles, 38% of heavy-duty vehicles, 85% of buses and 70% of buildings and using low-carbon fuels for technologies that are not yet viable for electrification. California has demonstrated strong long-term support of transportation electrification as shown by the approval of SCE's Charge Ready 2 program and the Governor's September 2020 Executive Order banning sales of new gas vehicles by 2035. However, SCE believes that more state policy support, along with public and private investment, is needed to enable California to reach its 2030 GHG reduction targets.

To support these goals, Edison International's vision is to lead the transformation of the electric power industry and the company is focused on opportunities in delivering clean energy, advancing efficient electrification, building a modernized and more reliable grid, and enabling customers' technology choices. SCE is focused on improving the safety, reliability and resilience of the transmission and distribution network and enabling increased penetration of DERs, electric transportation, building electrification and energy efficiency programs. SCE's ongoing focus to drive operational and service excellence is intended to allow it to achieve these objectives safely while controlling costs and customer rates. SCE's focus on the transmission and distribution of electricity aligns with California's policy supporting competitive power procurement markets.

SCE is undertaking projects and programs to accelerate economy-wide electrification. To support system reliability, SCE is investing $1.0 billion in utility owned storage capacity in 2022. See "—Capital Program" for further details. SCE also continues to implement its transport electrification programs and as of December 31, 2021, SCE had completed

Table of Contents

construction at 151 sites to support 2,759 charge ports under its suite of light duty Charge Ready Programs, and 27 sites to support the electrification of 311 medium and heavy-duty vehicles through its Charge Ready Transport program.

To address a portion of the expected outcome gap to achieving California's 2030 goals, in December 2021, SCE filed a $677 million Building Electrification Program Application for a four-year program (2024 – 2027) to incentivize replacing 250,000 gas-fueled water and space heaters with efficient electric heat pumps and to upgrade the electrical infrastructure for 65,000 homes to support electrification. The proposed program includes $200 million for customer-side electrical infrastructure upgrades for which SCE has requested inclusion as a regulatory asset in rate base and $69 million in capital expenditures. The remaining $408 million of operations and maintenance expense includes heat pump incentives, program administration, and implementation costs.

Changes in the electric power industry are impacting customers and jurisdictions outside California as well. Edison International believes that other states will also pursue climate change and GHG reduction objectives and large commercial and industrial customers will continue to pursue cost reduction and sustainability goals. Edison Energy provides integrated decarbonization and energy solutions to commercial, institutional and industrial customers who may be impacted by these changes. Edison Energy aims to provide energy solutions that address cost, carbon and complex choices for their customers.

To better engage in this broader transformation and provide a view of developments outside of SCE, Edison International has made several minority investments in emerging companies in areas related to the technology changes that are driving industry transformation and may make additional investments in the future. These investments are not financially material to Edison International.

2021 Cost of Capital Application

In August 2021, SCE filed an application with the CPUC for authority to establish its authorized cost of capital for utility operations for 2022 and to reset the related annual cost of capital mechanism. SCE filed its application pursuant to the cost of capital mechanism's provision that the utilities have a right to file a cost of capital application at any time upon an extraordinary or catastrophic event that materially impacts their respective cost of capital and/or capital structure and affects them differently than the overall financial markets. SCE believes the COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying government stimulus efforts constitute such an extraordinary event because they have led to a decrease in interest rates but an increase in SCE and other utilities' cost of equity, disrupting the traditional relationship between debt and equity assumed in adopting the cost of capital mechanism.

In October 2021, the CPUC consolidated SCE's, PG&E's and SDG&E's cost of capital proceedings and ordered the utilities to file all materials that would have normally been required in advice letters filed as a result of triggering the cost of capital mechanism (see "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process" for further information on the adjustment mechanism). SCE provided this information in November 2021. In December 2021, the CPUC granted SCE's motion to establish a memorandum account to record the difference in the revenue requirements from rates in effect beginning January 1, 2022 and the rates adopted in the proceeding. In December 2021, the CPUC also set an initial phase for the proceeding to determine whether extraordinary circumstances warrant a departure from the cost of capital mechanism for 2022 and, if so, whether the CPUC should leave the cost of capital components at pre-2022 levels for the year 2022 or open a second phase to consider alternative proposals. SCE served opening testimony in January 2022 in support of suspending operation of the cost of capital mechanism's formula adjustment mechanism and leaving cost of capital components at pre-2022 levels for 2022.

If the CPUC ultimately finds that the cost of capital mechanism adjustment should have been implemented effective January 1, 2022, SCE's revenue requirements for 2022 would reduce by $179 million due to adjustments to SCE's authorized weighted average cost of capital.

SCE is required to file its regularly scheduled cost of capital application in April 2022 for rates effective in 2023.

Capital Program

Total capital expenditures (including accruals) were $5.4 billion in 2021 and $5.5 billion in 2020. SCE's year-end rate base was $37.9 billion at December 31, 2021, compared to $34.7 billion at December 31, 2020, after excluding rate base associated with AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures.

SCE's capital expenditure forecast reflects planned CPUC-jurisdictional spending including WCCP and other programs outlined in SCE's WMP and above amounts authorized in the 2021 GRC, CPUC-approved utility owned storage expenditures and planned FERC capital expenditures.

Potential capital spending variability associated with future regulatory requests based on management judgment, potential for permitting delays and other operational considerations is reflected in the range case below. The completion of projects, the timing of expenditures, and the associated cost recovery may be affected by permitting requirements and delays, construction schedules, availability of labor, equipment and materials, financing, legal and regulatory approvals and developments, community requests or protests, weather and other unforeseen conditions.

SCE's 2021 recorded and 2022 – 2023 forecast for capital expenditures are set forth in the table below:

*      Not applicable

SCE expects to make additional CPUC capital expenditures, the recovery of which will be subject to future regulatory approval. This includes expenditures from track 4 of the 2021 GRC, the 2025 GRC and non-GRC programs including the Building Electrification Program. These capital expenditures and expected FERC capital expenditures, excluded from the table above, are expected to be approximately $0.2 billion in 2023 and in a range of approximately $10.4 billion to $12.8 billion between 2024 and 2025.

In October 2021, SCE contracted for the construction of utility owned storage at three sites in SCE's service territory with an aggregate capacity of 537.5 MW. These storage projects are expected to result in $1.0 billion of capital expenditures through the anticipated in-service date in the summer of 2022. In December 2021, the CPUC approved recovery of these expenditures and establishment of a balancing account for the associated revenue requirement, to be reflected in rates beginning in the first quarter of 2022.

SCE's authorized CPUC-jurisdictional rate base is determined through the GRC and other regulatory proceedings. Differences between actual and CPUC-authorized capital expenditures are addressed in subsequent GRC or other regulatory proceedings. FERC-jurisdictional rate base is generally determined based on actual capital expenditures.

For further information regarding the capital program see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Capital Investment Plan."

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic is having a significant impact on global society and economies. As a result of the pandemic, Edison International and SCE have experienced increased costs and SCE's supply chain has faced constraints, but the pandemic has not had a pervasive impact on SCE's or Edison International's ability to operate their businesses (see "Risk Factors" for further information). However, the total impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Edison International and SCE will depend on numerous factors that continue to evolve and which Edison International and SCE are unable to accurately predict at this time, including the impact of any legal requirements or company policies for mandatory COVID-19 vaccination, or testing, on SCE's ability to retain its workforce.

As a result of actions taken in response to the pandemic and increased estimates of uncollectible expenses, largely related to the economic impacts of the pandemic on SCE's customers, SCE has incurred $303 million of incremental costs, net of savings, as of December 31, 2021, of which $94 million has been deferred to memorandum accounts for CPUC reasonableness review and $197 million has been transferred to balancing accounts pending recovery.

In July 2021, California's state assembly passed legislation to authorize, fund and implement the CAPP, which reduced SCE's 2020 and 2021 customer arrearages for certain residential customers. SCE received $185 million of CAPP funds on behalf of customers in January 2022. To the extent SCE's uncollectible expenses against qualified arrearages were offset by the CAPP, no recovery will be sought through other mechanisms. The legislation also prohibited certain customer disconnections for non-payment during the period that the California Department of Community Services and Development reviews the allocation of CAPP funds, SCE expects to be able to recommence disconnections of customers for non-payment in mid-2022.

In September 2021, SCE requested recovery of $57 million of incremental operation and maintenance expenses tracked in a CEMA related to COVID-19 in 2020. Incremental expenses deferred to the COVID-19 Pandemic Protections Memorandum Account of $47 million are subject to CPUC reasonableness review in annual ERRA review proceedings, with a decision on the 2020 balance expected in mid-2022. For further information see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Regulatory Proceedings—2021 CEMA Application."

In January 2022, the CPUC approved SCE's application to recover $78 million of incremental residential uncollectible expenses subject to balancing account recovery in customer rates over a 36-month period starting March 2022. Remaining amounts subject to balancing account recovery will be recovered over a 12-month period beginning in the first quarter of 2022.

Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides

California has experienced unprecedented weather conditions in recent years due to climate change. The worsening weather and fuel conditions across California increase the likelihood of wildfires, including those where SCE's equipment may be alleged to be associated with the fire's ignition, and SCE's service territory remains susceptible to additional wildfire activity in 2022 and beyond. In response to worsening conditions and increased wildfire activity over the past several years, SCE has developed and is implementing its 2020 – 2022 WMP to reduce the risk of SCE equipment contributing to the ignition of wildfires. In addition, California has increased its investment in wildfire prevention and fire suppression capabilities. In addition to the investments SCE is making as part of its WMP, SCE also uses its PSPS program to proactively de-energize power lines as a last resort to mitigate the risk of catastrophic wildfires during extreme weather events.

Wildfires in SCE's territory in December 2017 and November 2018 caused loss of life, substantial damage to both residential and business properties, and service outages for SCE customers. Edison International and SCE have incurred material losses in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events.

SCE's equipment has been, and may further be, alleged to be associated with several wildfires that have originated in Southern California subsequent to 2018. Edison International and SCE expect that any losses incurred in connection with those fires will be covered by insurance, subject to self-insured retentions and co-insurance, or third-party receivables, and expect that any such losses after recoveries will not be material.

2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events

Multiple lawsuits and investigations related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events have been initiated against SCE and Edison International. As of December 31, 2021, in addition to the Local Public Entity Settlement, the TKM Subrogation Settlement and the Woolsey Subrogation Settlement, SCE had entered into settlements with approximately 5,000 individual plaintiffs in the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation under which it has agreed to pay an aggregate of approximately $2.0 billion.

In addition, in October 2021, SCE and the SED executed the SED Agreement to resolve the SED's investigations into the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events and three other 2017 wildfires for, among other things, aggregate costs of $550 million. The $550 million in costs is comprised of a $110 million fine to be paid to the State of California General Fund, $65 million of shareholder-funded safety measures, and an agreement by SCE to waive its right to seek cost recovery in CPUC-jurisdictional rates for $375 million of third-party uninsured claims payments (the "SED Excluded Losses"). The SED Agreement provides that SCE may, on a permanent basis, exclude from its ratemaking capital structure any after-tax charges to equity or debt borrowed to finance costs incurred under the SED Agreement. The SED Agreement also imposes other obligations on SCE, including reporting requirements and safety-focused studies. SCE did not admit imprudence, negligence or liability with respect to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events in the SED Agreement. The CPUC approved the SED Agreement in December 2021 but its approval has been legally challenged by The Utility Reform Network. SCE's obligations under the SED Agreement will only commence after CPUC approval of the SED Agreement is final and non-appealable.

Through December 31, 2021, Edison International and SCE have recorded total pre-tax charges of $7.5 billion, recoveries from insurance of $2.0 billion and expected recoveries through FERC electric rates of $300 million related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. The after-tax net charges to earnings recorded through December 31, 2021 have been $3.8 billion.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2021, SCE had paid $5.7 billion under executed settlements and had $131 million to be paid under executed settlements related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. In addition, SCE's obligations under the SED Agreement will commence after CPUC approval of the SED Agreement is final and non-appealable. As of December 31, 2021, SCE had recovered $2.0 billion through insurance and $135 million through FERC-jurisdictional electric rates.

After giving effect to all payment obligations under settlements entered into through December 31, 2021, Edison International's and SCE's best estimate of expected losses for remaining alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events and for the SED Agreement was $1.6 billion. As of the same date, Edison International and SCE had assets for expected recoveries through FERC electric rates of $165 million on their consolidated balance sheets and had exhausted expected insurance recoveries related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events.

Estimated losses for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation are based on a number of assumptions and are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Actual losses incurred may be higher or lower than estimated based on several factors, including: the uncertainty in estimating damages that have been or may be alleged, the ability to reach settlements through the ongoing claims mediation processes, uncertainties related to the litigation processes, uncertainty as to the legal and factual determinations to be made during litigation, including uncertainty as to the contributing causes of the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, the complexities associated with fires that merge and whether inverse condemnation will be held applicable to SCE with respect to damages caused by the Montecito Mudslides, and the uncertainty as to how these factors impact future settlements.

SCE will seek rate recovery of prudently-incurred, actual losses realized in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events in excess of available insurance, other than for CPUC-jurisdictional rate recovery of the $375 million of SED Excluded Losses if the CPUC's approval of the SED Agreement becomes final and non-appealable. SCE believes that, in light of the CPUC's decision in a cost recovery proceeding involving SDG&E arising from several 2007 wildfires in SDG&E's service area, there is substantial uncertainty regarding how the CPUC will interpret and apply its prudency standard to an investor-owned utility in wildfire cost-recovery proceedings for fires ignited prior to July 12, 2019. Accordingly, while the CPUC has not made a determination regarding SCE's prudency relative to any of the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, SCE is unable to conclude, at this time, that uninsured CPUC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs are probable of recovery through electric rates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SCE

SCE's results of operations are derived mainly through two sources:

Column 1Column 2
Earning activities – representing revenue authorized by the CPUC and the FERC which is intended to provide SCE a reasonable opportunity to recover its costs and earn a return on its net investment in generation, transmission and distribution assets. The annual revenue requirements are comprised of authorized operation and maintenance costs, depreciation, taxes and a return consistent with the capital structure. Also, included in earnings activities are revenues or penalties related to incentive mechanisms, other operating revenue and regulatory charges or disallowances.
Column 1Column 2
Cost-recovery activities – representing CPUC- and FERC-authorized balancing accounts which allow for recovery of specific project or program costs, subject to reasonableness review or compliance with upfront standards, as well as non-bypassable rates collected for SCE Recovery Funding LLC. Cost-recovery activities include rates which provide recovery, subject to reasonableness review of, among other things, fuel costs, purchased power costs, public purpose related-program costs (including energy efficiency and demand-side management programs), certain operation and maintenance expenses, and repayment of bonds and financing costs of SCE Recovery Funding LLC. SCE earns no return on these activities.

Impact of 2021 GRC

The table below reflects the 2020 GRC authorized revenue adjusted for revenue requirements from the WEMA and GS&RP approvals in 2020, which included revenue requirements for expenditures incurred from 2018 – 2020. Revenue requirements of $497 million for operation and maintenance expense and depreciation incurred in 2020 are not included in the table as they remain subject to approval in track 3 of the 2021 GRC.

The 2021 GRC final decision resulted in a non-core impairment of utility property, plant and equipment of $79 million ($47 million after-tax) related to disallowed historical capital expenditures of pole replacements the CPUC determined were performed prematurely.

The 2021 GRC final decision determines the amount of revenue that SCE is authorized to collect from customers to recover anticipated costs, including return on rate base. The 2021 GRC final decision approved an authorized revenue requirement of $6.9 billion in 2021, an increase of $1.0 billion over amounts authorized in the 2018 GRC and an increase of $331 million over revenue requirements authorized for 2020 including the 2018 GRC and subsequent WEMA and GS&RP approvals.

The following tables summarize SCE's results of operations for the periods indicated. The presentation below separately identifies earning activities and cost-recovery activities. In the 2021 GRC final decision, the CPUC approved balancing accounts for cost recovery of vegetation management and wildfire insurance costs. As a result, SCE classified revenues and costs associated with these programs as cost recovery activities in 2021. Previously, SCE classified the recovery of actual costs incurred under these programs as earnings activities. The reclassification of revenues and costs had no impact on earnings.

Earning Activities

Earning activities in 2021 compared to 2020 were primarily affected by the following:

Column 1Column 2
Higher operating revenue of $404 million is primarily due to:
Column 1Column 2Column 3
An increase in CPUC-related revenue of $369 million primarily due to an increase in authorized revenue of $331 million, $200 million of which impacted earning activities, and $217 million of lower incremental tax benefits (offset in income taxes below).

The $200 million change in authorized revenue impacting earnings included an increase of $352 million in GRC revenues from the 2021 GRC final decision offset by lower non-GRC authorized revenue of $152 million from the approval of the GS&RP balancing account in the third quarter of 2020.

Column 1Column 2Column 3
An increase in FERC-related revenue and other operating revenue of $35 million primarily due to $35 million from FERC rate base growth and a $10 million increase in 2021 due to a change in estimate under the FERC formula rate mechanism, partially offset by a decrease of $17 million due to expected recoveries from customers in 2021 compared to 2020 for the FERC portion of wildfire-related claims and expenses.

Column 1Column 2
Lower operation and maintenance expenses of $265 million primarily due to the following:
Column 1Column 2Column 3
Lower expenses of $170 million related to 2020 wildfire insurance and vegetation management costs which were recovered in authorized revenue in 2020. In 2021 these costs are presented in cost recovery activities as a result of balancing accounts authorized in the 2021 GRC final decision.
Column 1Column 2Column 3
Lower employee benefit expense of $19 million from short-term incentive compensation.
Column 1Column 2Column 3
Lower expenses of $18 million related to the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily customer uncollectibles now reported in cost recovery activities, as a result of CPUC authorized cost recovery of residential uncollectible costs.
Column 1Column 2Column 3
Lower other expenses of $58 million. These lower expenses were primarily related to lower expenses subject to balancing account treatment, transmission and distribution expenses, environmental remediation costs, legal expenses, and worker's compensation costs. Those reductions were partially offset by higher wildfire mitigation related expenses including a 2020 adjustment to 2018 – 2019 regulatory deferrals as a result of CPUC approval for SCE's track 2 of the GRC proceeding.
Column 1Column 2
Charges of $1.3 billion recorded in both 2021 and 2020 for wildfire-related claims and expenses related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. Also included in the charges are $10 million and $31 million recorded by SCE in 2021 and 2020, respectively, primarily associated with self-insured retention expenses related to other wildfires. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."
Column 1Column 2
Lower Wildfire Insurance Fund expense of $121 million due to the change in the estimated life of the Wildfire Insurance Fund which increased the amortization period of SCE contributions in 2021. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further information.
Column 1Column 2
Higher depreciation and amortization expense of $244 million primarily due to increased plant balances in 2021 and the change in depreciation rates from the adoption of the 2021 GRC final decision.
Column 1Column 2
Higher property and other taxes of $27 million primarily due to higher property assessed values in 2021.
Column 1Column 2
Higher impairment and other expense (income) of $219 million primarily due to an impairment charge of $79 million recorded in 2021 related to disallowed historical capital expenditures in SCE's 2021 GRC final decision as discussed above, and $140 million decrease in gains from the sale of San Onofre nuclear fuel.
Column 1Column 2
Higher interest expense of $28 million primarily due to increased borrowings, partially offset by lower interest expense on balancing account overcollections and lower insurance benefits.
Column 1Column 2
Lower other income of $40 million primarily due to lower insurance benefits and lower interest income on balancing account undercollections.
Column 1Column 2
Lower income tax benefit of $294 million primarily due to the impact of higher pre-tax income, lower flow-through tax benefits as a result of the adoption of the 2021 GRC final decision for certain property-related items and an adjustment as a result of an IRS private letter ruling SCE received regarding the scope of the deferred tax normalization requirements and the computations required to comply with the average rate assumption method, partially offset by higher tax benefits from the re-measurement of uncertain tax positions, including $36 million of

core earnings benefit recorded in the fourth quarter of 2021 from a settlement with the FTB for tax years 2007 – 2012. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8 Income Taxes."
Column 1Column 2
Lower preferred and preference stock dividends of $26 million primarily due to the redemption of preferred securities in 2020 and the related loss on the redemption.

Cost-Recovery Activities

Cost-recovery activities in 2021 compared to 2020 were primarily affected by the following:

Column 1Column 2
Higher purchased power and fuel costs of $610 million primarily driven by higher power and gas prices, including from extreme weather in 2021, partially offset by a CAISO generation surcharge of $59 million incurred in 2020.
Column 1Column 2
Higher operation and maintenance expenses of $330 million due to:
Column 1Column 2Column 3
Vegetation management costs of $200 million which were reported in cost recovery activities due to the balancing account approved in the 2021 GRC final decision.
Column 1Column 2Column 3
Uncollectible costs of $83 million which were reported in cost recovery activities due to authorization to recover costs through residential uncollectibles balancing account in 2021.
Column 1Column 2Column 3
A CAISO transmission refund received in 2020 for $66 million related to the CAISO generation surcharge mentioned above.
Column 1Column 2Column 3
Increase in other costs subject to cost recovery of $40 million, primarily CEMA drought-related costs authorized for recovery in 2021.
Column 1Column 2Column 3
Wildfire insurance costs decreased by $59 million due to the 2020 approval to recover 2018 and 2019 wildfire insurance expenses that had been deferred.
Column 1Column 2
Higher other income of $18 million primarily driven by higher net periodic benefit income related to the non-service cost components for SCE's other post-retirement benefit plans. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 9. Compensation and Benefit Plans" for further information.

Supplemental Operating Revenue Information

SCE's retail billed and unbilled revenue (excluding wholesale sales) was $13.5 billion, $12.5 billion, and $11.4 billion for 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The 2021 revenue increase is primarily related to the authorization for cost recovery as part of the GRC implementation through various balancing accounts and higher cost-recovery activities related to higher purchased power and fuel costs driven by higher power and gas prices. See "—Cost-Recovery Activities" and "—Earnings Activities" for further details.

As a result of the CPUC-authorized decoupling mechanism, the price of SCE's services depends on amounts authorized for recovery through SCE's GRCs and other regulatory proceedings and SCE earnings are not affected by changes in retail electricity sales (see "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process").

Income Taxes

SCE's income tax benefit decreased by $294 million in 2021 compared to 2020. The effective tax rates were 1.8% and (41.7)% for 2021 and 2020, respectively. SCE's effective tax rate is below the federal statutory rate of 21% for 2021 and 2020 primarily due to the CPUC's ratemaking treatment for the current tax benefit arising from certain property-related and other temporary differences, which reverse over time. The accounting treatment for these temporary differences

results in recording regulatory assets and liabilities for amounts that would otherwise be recorded to deferred income tax expense.

The effective tax rate increase in 2021 is primarily due to the impact of higher pre-tax income, non-tax deductible portions of the SED Agreement, an adjustment as a result of an IRS private letter ruling discussed above, lower flow-through tax benefits as a result of the adoption of the 2021 GRC final decision for certain property-related items discussed above, partially offset by higher tax benefits from the re-measurement of uncertain tax positions, including the impacts of a settlement with the FTB for tax years 2007 – 2012.

See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes" for a reconciliation of the federal statutory rate to the effective income tax rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

SCE

SCE's ability to operate its business, fund capital expenditures, and implement its business strategy is dependent upon its cash flow and access to the bank and capital markets. SCE's overall cash flows fluctuate based on, among other things, its ability to recover its costs in a timely manner from its customers through regulated rates, changes in commodity

17

Table of Contents

prices and volumes, collateral requirements, interest obligations, dividend payments to and equity contributions from Edison International, obligations to preference shareholders, and the outcome of tax, regulatory and legal matters.

In the next 12 months, SCE expects to fund its cash requirements through operating cash flows, capital market financings, and equity contributions from Edison International Parent, as needed. SCE also has availability under its credit facilities to fund cash requirements. SCE expects to issue bonds to finance or refinance eligible sustainable projects. Eligible sustainable projects include categories such as renewable energy, clean transportation, energy efficiency and carbon reduction, climate change adaptation, and socioeconomic advancement and empowerment. SCE maintains processes to ensure that proceeds from the sale of the bonds are only used for projects that are aligned with the Edison International sustainable financing framework issued in June 2021. SCE also expects to issue additional debt for general corporate purposes and to finance payments for future resolutions of claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events.

At December 31, 2021 SCE had invested all $1.6 billion of the required AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures and SCE expects to finance these amounts by issuing securitized bonds. SCE issued securitized bonds in the amounts of $338 million in February 2021 and $533 million in February 2022. SCE expects to securitize the remaining balance of AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures based on the timing of the CPUC approval of those expenditures and related financing costs. For further information, see "—Regulatory Proceedings—Wildfire Related Regulatory Proceedings." SCE expects to extend a $1.2 billion term loan due in May 2022 as necessary prior to full settlement from the proceeds of the securitized bonds.

SCE's cash flows are affected by regulatory balancing and memorandum accounts overcollections or undercollections. Overcollections and undercollections represent differences between cash collected in current rates for specified forecasted costs and the costs actually incurred. With some exceptions, SCE seeks to adjust rates on an annual basis or at other designated times to recover or refund the balances recorded in its balancing accounts. Undercollections or overcollections in these balancing and memorandum accounts impact cash flows and can change rapidly. Undercollections and overcollections generally accrue interest based on a three-month commercial paper rate published by the Federal Reserve. See "—Regulatory Proceedings" and "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities" for further information.

The following table summarizes SCE's current, long-term issuer credit ratings and outlook from the major credit rating agencies:

Moody'sFitchS&P
Credit RatingBaa2BBB-BBB
OutlookStableStableStable

SCE's credit ratings may be further affected if, among other things, regulators fail to successfully implement AB 1054 in a consistent and credit supportive manner or the Wildfire Insurance Fund is depleted by claims from catastrophic wildfires. Credit rating downgrades increase the cost and may impact the availability of short-term and long-term borrowings, including commercial paper, credit facilities, bond financings or other borrowings. In addition, some of SCE's power procurement contracts and environmental remediation obligations would require SCE to pay related liabilities or post additional collateral if SCE's credit rating were to fall below investment grade. For further details, see "—Margin and Collateral Deposits."

The cost of capital mechanism set by the CPUC could impact SCE's results of operations and cash flows. For further information see "Management Overview—2021 Cost of Capital Application."

Table of Contents

Available Liquidity

At December 31, 2021, SCE had cash on hand of $279 million and $2.6 billion available to borrow on its $3.4 billion revolving credit facility. The credit facility is available for borrowing needs until May 2025.

At December 31, 2021, SCE had $601 million outstanding commercial paper, net of discount, at a weighted average interest rate of 0.45% supported by the $3.4 billion revolving credit facility. The aggregate maximum principal amount under the SCE revolving credit facility may be increased up to $4.0 billion, provided that additional lender commitments are obtained. For further details, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."

SCE may finance balancing account undercollections and working capital requirements to support operations and capital expenditures with commercial paper, its credit facilities or other borrowings, subject to availability in the bank and capital markets. As necessary, SCE will utilize its available liquidity, capital market financings, other borrowings or parent company contributions to SCE equity in order to meet its obligations as they become due, including costs related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. For further information, see "Management Overview—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."

Debt Covenant

SCE's credit facilities and term loan require a debt to total capitalization ratio as defined in the applicable agreements of less than or equal to 0.65 to 1. At December 31, 2021, SCE's debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.55 to 1.

At December 31, 2021, SCE was in compliance with all financial covenants that affect access to capital.

Regulatory Proceedings

2021 General Rate Case

The 2021 GRC consists of four separate tracks. Track 1 was similar to previous GRCs and addressed revenue requirements for the three-year period of 2021 – 2023. Tracks 2 and 3 address the reasonableness of 2018 – 2019 and 2020 wildfire mitigation costs that were incremental to amounts authorized in the 2018 GRC, respectively. Track 4 will address the revenue requirement for 2024. SCE is scheduled to submit its testimony for track 4 in May 2022. In January 2021, the CPUC approved a settlement between SCE and all the parties to track 2 of the 2021 GRC proceeding, for further information on track 3 see "—Wildfire Related Regulatory Proceedings."

Track 1

In August 2021, the CPUC approved a final decision on track 1 of the 2021 GRC, which resulted in a base rate revenue requirement of $6.9 billion in 2021, an increase of $1.0 billion over amounts authorized for 2020 in the 2018 GRC. This represented an increase of $331 million over revenue requirements authorized for 2020 through the 2018 GRC and subsequent WEMA and GS&RP CPUC approvals.

The CPUC has approved the establishment of a memorandum account making the authorized revenue requirement changes effective January 1, 2021. Under the final decision, the increase in January 2021 to September 2021 authorized revenues of $722 million are being collected over a 27-month period beginning October 1, 2021.

The final decision authorized $4.9 billion of capital expenditures for 2021. Included in the authorized capital expenditures is $2.4 billion of capital expenditures to install 4,500 miles of covered conductor between 2019 and 2023 as part of SCE's WCCP.

See "Results of Operations—SCE" and "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities" for further information.

Wildfire Related Regulatory Proceedings

In response to the increase in wildfire activity, and faster progression of and increased damage from wildfires across SCE's service territory and throughout California, SCE has incurred wildfire mitigation, wildfire insurance and wildfire and drought restoration related spending at levels significantly exceeding amounts authorized in its 2018 GRC. The 2021 GRC decision authorized the establishment of balancing accounts for expenses for vegetation management, wildfire insurance, and the WCCP program, with expenditures up to certain thresholds approved for cost recovery. SCE may submit subsequent reasonableness review applications for any spending in excess of these thresholds. During the 2021 – 2023 GRC period, SCE expects to incur vegetation management expenses and capital expenditures for WCCP in excess of thresholds established in the 2021 GRC. SCE also expects to incur costs in excess of amounts authorized in the 2021 GRC related to other wildfire mitigation activities, including inspections and maintenance and PSPS. SCE will track these incremental amounts in memorandum accounts which will be subject to approval in future regulatory proceedings. For more information see "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process."

The following table presents changes in deferred wildfire-related and wildfire and drought restoration expenses during 2021:

(in millions)
Balance at December 31, 2020$1,465
Regulatory deferral728
Less: transfer to BRRBA, GRC wildfire mitigation balancing accounts and securitization for approved recovery(438)
Balance at December 31, 2021$1,755

These deferred wildfire-related and wildfire and drought restoration expenses include $401 million of operations and maintenance expense authorized for recovery in the GRC track 2 proceeding in January 2021. In January 2022, the CPUC approved SCE's request to recover these costs in customer rates over a 36-month period starting March 2022.

Wildfire Mitigation Plan Memorandum Account

SCE's WMPs describe strategies, programs and activities that are in place, being implemented or are under development by SCE, including associated cost estimates, to reduce the risk of SCE equipment contributing to the ignition of wildfires.

SCE filed updates to its 2020 – 2022 WMP with the CPUC and OEIS in February 2021 and February 2022, respectively. Due to the requirement to file annual updates to the WMP, many, but not all, of the programs and activities described in SCE's 2020 – 2022 WMP including the 2021 and 2022 updates, are part of SCE's 2021 GRC, which was originally filed on a forecast basis in 2019. The WMP memorandum account is used to track costs of WMP activities in excess of amounts authorized in SCE's GRCs.

SCE tracked $133 million and $229 million of expenses in the WMP memorandum account during 2021 and 2020, respectively. WMP capital expenditures not authorized in the 2021 GRC, 2018 GRC or contemplated in the GS&RP proceeding were $114 million and $190 million during 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Expenses from 2020 are subject to reasonableness review through track 3 of the 2021 GRC, described below. Expenses from 2021 and subsequent years are subject to reasonableness review, which SCE expects to be conducted through annual proceedings. SCE plans to file an application for recovery of expenses incurred in 2021 that were above authorized amounts in 2022.

Fire Hazard Prevention Memorandum Account

The FHPMA was established to record the costs incurred related to fire hazard prevention in compliance with decisions

20

Table of Contents

from the CPUC. Prior to 2021, SCE used the FHPMA to track incremental vegetation management activities undertaken to reduce the risk of fires. In 2021, SCE recorded vegetation management expenses to the vegetation management balancing account established by the 2021 GRC. During 2021, there were no costs recorded in FHPMA.

Expenses from 2018 and 2019 are being recovered in accordance with the GRC track 2 settlement. During 2020, SCE recorded expenses of $252 million in the FHPMA, which are subject to reasonableness review through track 3 of the 2021 GRC, described below.

2021 General Rate Case Wildfire Mitigation Memorandum Account Balances

The 2021 GRC decision provided balancing accounts for cost recovery of up to 115% of authorized vegetation management expenses. SCE has recorded $229 million of 2021 vegetation management expenses above 115% of 2021 GRC authorized levels and tracked in the vegetation management balancing account. Such expenses from 2021 and subsequent years are subject to reasonableness review, which SCE expects to be conducted through annual proceedings. For further information, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities."

In March 2021, SCE made its 2021 GRC track 3 filing with the CPUC. In its filing, SCE requested reasonableness review of approximately $1.2 billion of wildfire mitigation costs incurred prior to 2021, consisting of $497 million of incremental operations and maintenance expenses and other costs, and $679 million of incremental capital expenditures. The track 3 expenditures predominantly related to grid hardening, vegetation management, PSPS activities and enhancements to grid operations. The capital expenditures included $502 million of GS&RP capital expenditures not previously subject to settlement.

The $679 million in incremental capital expenditures to be reviewed by the CPUC in track 3 are AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures. After receipt of a final decision in track 3, SCE intends to seek a financing order from the CPUC to securitize these expenses if such expenses are deemed reasonable by the CPUC.

The CPUC schedule for SCE's 2021 GRC includes a proposed decision on track 3 in the first quarter of 2022.

Wildfire Expense Memorandum Account

SCE tracks insurance premium costs related to wildfire liability insurance policies as well as other wildfire-related costs in its WEMA. In December 2020, SCE filed a WEMA application with the CPUC to seek recovery of $215 million of costs recorded in WEMA at December 31, 2020. The costs primarily related to incremental wildfire insurance premium expenses and associated costs for wildfire liability insurance policies that provide coverage for the last six months of 2020. SCE has requested a final decision in the current WEMA proceeding that would allow these costs to be recovered in rates beginning in 2022.

2020 Emergency Wildfire Restoration

Multiple wildfires occurred during 2020 which caused damage within SCE's service territory and to SCE's Big Creek hydroelectric facility. Restoration work is ongoing in relation to these wildfires. SCE expects to file CEMA requests for recovery of approximately $220 million of operation and maintenance expenses and approximately $345 million of capital expenditures incremental to authorized revenue requirements related to these restoration efforts, the majority to be filed in 2022.

2019 CEMA Application

In July 2019, SCE filed a CEMA application with the CPUC to seek recovery of $79 million of operation and maintenance expenses related to 2017 – 2018 drought mitigation efforts and $8 million of revenue requirement

21

Table of Contents

associated with $60 million of capital expenditures and capital related expenses related to six 2017 wildfires.

In August 2021, the CPUC issued a decision that authorized full recovery of requested drought restoration costs and approved a revenue requirement of $81 million. However, the final decision denied without prejudice SCE's application to recover a revenue requirement of $8 million for all six 2017 wildfires on the basis that SCE did not demonstrate that it was prudent in relation to the Thomas and Rye fires and that SCE had failed to segregate the costs attributable to the other four fires. Of the $8 million revenue requirement that was denied, $6 million was for the Thomas and Rye fires. The decision allows SCE to submit additional applications with the CPUC to recover the costs associated with the Thomas and Rye fires, does not specify a deadline for any such applications and directs that SCE must prove it was prudent in relation to the Thomas and/or Rye fires, as applicable, in any such future applications. As required by the final decision with respect to the other four fires, SCE filed supplemental testimony in November 2021 segregating the restoration costs attributable to each such fire. SCE's updated revenue requirement for these fires is $1.5 million.

As of December 31, 2021, SCE has $186 million recorded in property, plant and equipment in relation to restoration costs related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, which require future regulatory filings before recovery may be allowed. These assets would be impaired if permanently disallowed by the CPUC in future cost recovery proceedings and are currently excluded from authorized rate base, pending further regulatory action.

2021 CEMA Application

In September 2021, SCE filed a CEMA application with the CPUC requesting a revenue requirement of $132 million related to various 2018 – 2020 events, which includes revenue requirements of $69 million related to incremental drought mitigation operation and maintenance expenses incurred from 2019 – 2020 and $58 million related to incremental operation and maintenance expenses related to COVID-19.

ERRA Proceeding

SCE's cost-recovery mechanism for its fuel and purchased power-related costs is primarily facilitated in two main balancing accounts, the ERRA and the PABA. SCE sets rates based on an annual forecast of the costs that it expects to incur during the subsequent year. At December 31, 2021, the ERRA was undercollected by approximately $760 million due to higher gas and power prices. The undercollection in ERRA at September 30, 2021 resulted in SCE triggering an established mechanism requiring SCE to file an application to advise the CPUC that SCE's undercollections had exceeded the trigger amount and request a rate change (See "Business—Overview of Ratemaking Process," for further information). In January 2022 the CPUC approved inclusion of the rate increase with a scheduled rate change in March 2022. SCE expects to finance power procurement-related costs using commercial paper, its credit facilities and other borrowings until rates are adjusted.

2022 FERC Formula Rate Annual Update

SCE filed its 2022 annual update with the FERC in November 2021, with the proposed rate effective January 1, 2022. The update reflected an increase in SCE's transmission revenue requirement of $326 million, 30.0% higher than amounts included in the 2021 annual rates. The increase is primarily due to the portion of charges for wildfire-related claims recorded in 2020 subject to recovery from FERC customers, increased plant in service and recovery of prior year undercollections.

CSRP

In April 2021, SCE implemented a new customer service system, which replaced a majority of SCE's customer systems. During the initial months of post-implementation stabilization of CSRP, SCE experienced operational issues, including delayed customer billings, generally in line with forecasted operational issues. These operational issues are expected to return to normal by the end of third quarter of 2022. SCE has tracked the cost of the CSRP system implementation in a

22

Table of Contents

memorandum account. Expenditures for the CSRP project were significantly higher than originally projected, approximately $546 million in capital and $63 million in operations and maintenance expenses from inception through 2021.

In July 2021, SCE filed an application with the CPUC requesting approval of $483 million of capital expenditures and $40 million of operations and maintenance expenses recorded in the CSRP memorandum account through April 2021 resulting in revenue requirements of $411 million from 2021 to 2024. SCE plans to seek recovery of costs from May to December 2021 in a future application anticipated to be filed in the second quarter of 2022. The recorded CSRP incremental memo account expenses and capital during 2022 – 2024 will be included for cost recovery in the 2025 GRC Application.

In January 2020, SCE submitted a supplemental analysis to the CPUC which included alternative projects as well as an update to the original project cost. SCE is unable to predict the timing of a final CPUC decision, the corresponding in-service date, and what the final project costs will be for the Alberhill System Project.

Mesa Substation

The Mesa Substation Project consists of replacing the existing 220 kV Mesa Substation with a new 500/220 kV substation. The Mesa Substation Project will address reliability concerns by providing additional transmission import capability, allowing greater flexibility in the siting of new generation, and reducing the total amount of new generation required to meet local reliability needs in the Western Los Angeles Basin area. In October 2019, SCE achieved the first energization of the new substation. SCE plans to have the 500 kV substation in service in the second quarter of 2022.

Riverside Transmission Reliability

The Riverside Transmission Reliability Project is a joint project between SCE and Riverside Public Utilities ("RPU"), the municipal utility department of the City of Riverside. While RPU will be responsible for constructing some of the project's facilities within Riverside, SCE's portion of the project consists of constructing upgrades to its system, including a new 230 kV substation; certain interconnection and telecommunication facilities and transmission lines in the cities of Riverside, Jurupa Valley and Norco and in portions of unincorporated Riverside County. The purpose of the project is to provide RPU and its customers with adequate transmission capacity to serve existing and projected load, to provide for long-term system capacity for load growth, and to provide needed system reliability.

Table of Contents

In September 2020, SCE obtained approval from the FERC for abandoned plant treatment for the project, which allows SCE to seek recovery of 100% of all prudently incurred costs after the approval date and 50% of prudently incurred costs prior to the approval date. SCE plans to begin construction in the second quarter of 2022.

Alberhill System

The Alberhill System Project consists of constructing a new 500 kV substation, two 500 kV transmission lines to connect the proposed substation to the existing Serrano-Valley 500 kV transmission line, telecommunication equipment and subtransmission lines in western Riverside County. The project was designed to meet long-term forecasted electrical demand in the proposed Alberhill System Project area and to increase electrical system reliability and resiliency. In April 2018 and July 2018, the CPUC issued a proposed decision and an alternate proposed decision, both denying SCE's ability to construct the Alberhill System Project based on a perceived lack of need. SCE filed comments on both proposed decisions requesting that the CPUC grant the certificate of public convenience and necessity ("CPCN") for the Alberhill System Project. In August 2018, the CPUC issued a decision that did not deny or approve the Alberhill System Project but directed SCE to submit supplemental information on the Alberhill System Project including but not limited to a load forecast and cost benefit analysis of several alternatives to the proposed project. Ongoing capital spending has been deferred as a result of the CPUC request for additional information. In January 2020, SCE submitted a supplemental analysis to the CPUC for the Alberhill System Project including several alternatives to the proposed project as well as an update to the original project cost. A final decision on the Alberhill System Project remains pending. Given the uncertainty associated with the resolution of the permitting process, potential revisions to the project have not been reflected in total direct expenditures. SCE continues to believe a system solution is needed for the project area but is unable to predict the timing of a final CPUC decision in connection with the Alberhill System Project proceeding.

Approximately 48% of the Alberhill System Project costs spent to date would be subject to recovery through CPUC revenue and 52% through FERC revenue. In October 2017, SCE obtained approval from the FERC for abandoned plant treatment for the Alberhill System Project, which allows SCE to seek recovery of 100% of all prudently incurred costs after the approval date and 50% of prudently incurred costs prior to the approval date. Excluding land costs, which may be recovered through sale to a third party, SCE has incurred approximately $55 million of capital expenditures, including overhead costs, as of December 31, 2021, of which approximately $39 million may not be recoverable if the project is cancelled.

Eldorado-Lugo-Mohave Upgrade

The Eldorado-Lugo-Mohave Upgrade Project will increase capacity on existing transmission lines to allow additional renewable energy to flow from Nevada to southern California. The project would modify SCE's existing Eldorado, Lugo, and Mohave electrical substations to accommodate the increased flows from Nevada to southern California; increase the power flow through the existing 500 kV transmission lines by constructing two new capacitors along the lines; raise transmission tower heights to meet ground clearance requirements; and install fiber optics on the transmission lines to provide communications between existing SCE substations. In August 2020, the CPUC approved the CPCN for the project.

Construction for the project began in November 2020 and the project is expected to be operational in the second quarter of 2023. SCE has revised the commercial operation date from 2022 due to delayed construction start date pending approvals from the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service, and due to shortages of foam insulation material caused by production delays within the United States resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and extreme winter conditions in early 2021.

Decommissioning of San Onofre

The decommissioning of a nuclear plant requires the management of three related activities: radiological decommissioning, non-radiological decommissioning and the management of spent nuclear fuel. SCE has engaged a decommissioning general contractor to undertake a significant scope of decommissioning activities for Units 1, 2 and 3 at San Onofre. The decommissioning of San Onofre is expected to take many years.

Under federal law, the DOE is responsible for the selection and construction of a facility for the permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. The DOE has not met its contractual obligation to accept spent nuclear fuel. Extended delays by the DOE have led to the construction of costly alternatives and associated siting and environmental issues.

Two Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations ("ISFSI") store nuclear fuel at San Onofre. The first primarily stores nuclear fuel from Unit 1 ("ISFSI 1") and the second stores nuclear fuel from Units 2 and 3 ("ISFSI 2"). In March 2022, SCE will submit an application to the CCC to amend SCE's CDP for Unit 1 to extend the permit from November 2022 to November 2035. SCE's CDP for ISFSI 2 extends through 2035.

Decommissioning of San Onofre Unit 1 began in 1999 and the transfer of spent nuclear fuel from Unit 1 to dry cask storage in ISFSI 1 was completed in 2005. Major decommissioning work for Unit 1 has been completed except for certain underground work.

Decommissioning of San Onofre Units 2 and 3 began in June 2013 and the transfer of spent nuclear fuel from San Onofre Units 2 and 3 to dry cask storage in the two ISFSIs was completed in August 2020. In October 2019, the CCC approved SCE's application for a CDP, the principal discretionary permit required to start major decommissioning activities at San Onofre Units 2 and 3. In August 2020, SCE commenced, and is currently conducting, major decommissioning activities in accordance with the terms of the permit. The CCC's issuance of the permit was challenged in December 2019 and an October 2021 Los Angeles Superior Court ruling upholding the validity of the permit has been appealed.

In the third quarter of 2021, SCE updated its decommissioning cost estimate for decommissioning activities to be completed at San Onofre Units 2 and 3 to $3.4 billion (SCE share is $2.6 billion) in 2021 dollars. The decommissioning cost estimate included costs through the expected decommissioning completion date, currently estimated to be in 2053 for San Onofre Units 2 and 3. SCE will file its updated decommissioning cost estimate with the CPUC by May 2022. Decommissioning cost estimates are subject to a number of uncertainties including the cost and timing of nuclear waste disposal, the time it will take to obtain required permits, cost of removal of property, site remediation costs, as well as a number of other assumptions and estimates, including when the federal government will provide for either interim or permanent off-site storage of spent nuclear fuel enabling the removal and transport of spent fuel canisters from the San Onofre site, as to which there can be no assurance. Cost estimates are subject to change as decommissioning proceeds and such changes may be material.

SCE's share of the San Onofre Units 2 and 3 decommissioning costs recorded during 2021 were $236 million (in 2021 dollars). The CPUC conducts a reasonableness review of recorded decommissioning costs.

SCE had nuclear decommissioning trust funds for San Onofre Units 2 and 3 of $2.8 billion as of December 31, 2021. Based upon the resolution of a number of uncertainties, including the uncertainties of decommissioning discussed above,

Table of Contents

the financial performance of the nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments, as well as the resolution of a number of other assumptions and estimates, additional contributions to the nuclear decommissioning trust funds may be required. If additional contributions to the nuclear decommissioning trust funds become necessary, SCE will seek recovery of such additional funds through electric rates and any such recovery will be subject to a reasonableness review by the CPUC. Cost increases resulting from contractual disputes, delays in performance by the contractor, elevated levels of inflation, or permitting delays, among other things, could cause SCE to materially overrun the decommissioning cost estimate and could materially impact the sufficiency of trust funds. In December 2021, the CPUC approved disbursements from SCE's nuclear decommissioning trusts to cover forecasted 2022 decommissioning costs for San Onofre Units 2 and 3, of which SCE's share is $290 million in 2022 dollars.

SCE Dividends

CPUC holding company rules require that SCE's dividend policy be established by SCE's Board of Directors on the same basis as if SCE were a stand-alone utility company, and that the capital requirements of SCE, as deemed to be necessary to meet SCE's electricity service obligations, shall receive first priority from the Boards of Directors of both Edison International and SCE. In addition, the CPUC regulates SCE's capital structure which limits the dividends it may pay to its shareholders.

Effective January 1, 2020, the common equity component of SCE's CPUC authorized capital structure was increased from 48% to 52% on a weighted average basis over the January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022 compliance period. For further information, see "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process." Certain amounts, including the impact of SCE's contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund under AB 1054, are excluded from the measurement of SCE's CPUC-jurisdictional authorized capital structure. For further information, see "Business—Southern California Wildfires."

The CPUC authorized capital structure differs from the capital structure calculated based on GAAP due to certain exclusions allowed by CPUC. In May 2020, the CPUC issued a decision on SCE's application to the CPUC for waiver of compliance with its equity ratio requirement, that allows SCE to exclude from its equity ratio calculations (i) net charges accrued in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events and (ii) debt issued for the purpose of paying claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events up to an amount equal to the net charges accrued in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. The temporary exclusion will lapse on May 7, 2022 and SCE anticipates filing another application for waiver of compliance with its equity ratio requirement in April 2022. Under the CPUC's rules, SCE will not be deemed to be in violation of the equity ratio requirement while the waiver application is pending resolution. While the exclusion is in place, SCE is required to notify the CPUC if an adverse financial event reduces SCE's spot equity ratio by more than one percent from the level most recently filed with the CPUC in the proceeding. The last spot equity ratio SCE filed with the CPUC in the proceeding did not exclude the then $1.8 billion net charge and was 45.2% as of December 31, 2018 (at the time the common equity component of SCE's CPUC authorized capital structure was required to remain at or above 48% on a weighted average basis over the applicable 37-month period). SCE's spot equity ratio on December 31, 2018 would have been 48.7% had the $1.8 billion net charge at December 31, 2018 been excluded, therefore SCE will notify the CPUC if its spot ratio drops below 47.7% in any quarter. For further information, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."

SCE monitors its compliance with the CPUC's equity ratio requirement based on the weighted average of the common equity component of SCE's CPUC authorized capital structure over the Capital Structure Compliance Period using its actual capital structure from the beginning of the Capital Structure Compliance Period through the reporting date together with forecasted performance and expected financing activities for the remainder of the Capital Structure Compliance Period. SCE expects to be compliant with its CPUC authorized capital structure at December 31, 2022.

Table of Contents

SCE's ability to declare and pay common dividends may be restricted under the terms of its outstanding series of preference stock. For further information see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14. Equity."

As a California corporation, SCE's ability to pay dividends is also governed by the California General Corporation Law. California law requires that for a dividend to be declared: (a) retained earnings must equal or exceed the proposed dividend, or (b) immediately after the dividend is made, the value of the corporation's assets must exceed the value of its liabilities plus amounts required to be paid, if any, in order to liquidate stock senior to the shares receiving the dividend. Additionally, a California corporation may not declare a dividend if it is, or as a result of the dividend would be, likely to be unable to meet its liabilities as they mature. Prior to declaring dividends, SCE's Board of Directors evaluates available information, including when applicable, information pertaining to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, to ensure that the California law requirements for the declarations are met. On February 24, 2022, SCE declared a dividend to Edison International of $325 million.

The timing and amount of future dividends are also dependent on a number of other factors including SCE's requirements to fund other obligations and capital expenditures, its ability to access the capital markets, and generate operating cash flows and earnings. If SCE incurs significant costs related to catastrophic wildfires, including the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, and is unable to recover such costs through insurance, the Wildfire Insurance Fund (for fires after July 12, 2019), or from customers or is unable to access capital markets on reasonable terms, SCE may be limited in its ability to pay future dividends to Edison International and its preference shareholders.

Margin and Collateral Deposits

Certain derivative instruments, power and energy procurement contracts and other contractual arrangements contain collateral requirements. In addition, certain environmental remediation obligations require financial assurance that may be in the form of collateral postings. Future collateral requirements may differ from the requirements at December 31, 2021 due to the addition of incremental power and energy procurement contracts with collateral requirements, if any, the impact of changes in wholesale power and natural gas prices on SCE's contractual obligations, and the impact of SCE's credit ratings falling below investment grade.

The table below provides the amount of collateral posted by SCE to its counterparties as well as the potential collateral that would have been required as of December 31, 2021, if SCE's credit rating had been downgraded to below investment grade as of that date. The table below also provides the potential collateral that could be required due to adverse changes in wholesale power and natural gas prices over the remaining lives of existing power and energy procurement contracts.

In addition to amounts shown in the table, power and fuel contract counterparties may also institute new collateral requirements, applicable to future transactions to allow SCE to continue trading in power and fuel contracts at the time of a downgrade or upon significant increases in market prices. Furthermore, SCE may also be required to post up to $50 million in collateral in connection with its environmental remediation obligations, within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year in which the downgrade occurs.

Edison International Parent and Other

In the next 12 months, Edison International expects to fund its net cash requirements through cash on hand, dividends from SCE, and equity issuances and bank financings. Edison International may finance its ongoing cash requirements, including common stock dividends, working capital requirements, payment of obligations, and capital investments, including capital contributions to subsidiaries, with short-term or other financings, subject to availability in the bank and capital markets.

At December 31, 2021, Edison International Parent had cash on hand of $52 million and $1.5 billion available to borrow on its $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. The credit facility is available for borrowing needs until May 2025.

At December 31, 2021, Edison International Parent did not have any outstanding commercial paper. The aggregate maximum principal amount under the Edison International Parent revolving credit facility may be increased up to $2.0 billion, provided that additional lender commitments are obtained.

In 2021, Edison International issued $2.0 billion of preferred securities, containing approximately $1.0 billion of equity content as viewed by rating agencies, to enable SCE to issue debt to finance payments for resolution of wildfire claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, while allowing Edison International and SCE to maintain investment grade credit ratings. Edison International does not expect further issuances of equity securities to support financing the resolution of wildfire claims contemplated in its loss estimates for remaining alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events at December 31, 2021. However, an increase in estimated losses for remaining alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events could result in increased equity needs. In order to fund SCE's growth, Edison International expects to issue securities containing up to $250 million of equity content annually, on average from 2022 through 2025. In 2022, Edison International expects to issue securities containing $300 to $400 million of equity content to support SCE's capital investment needs and SCE maintaining the common equity component of its capital structure, after CPUC allowed exclusions, at 52% on a weighted average basis over the Capital Structure Compliance Period. For further information, see "—SCE—SCE Dividends." The higher-than-average equity content expected in 2022 is driven by the anticipated capital expenditures associated with SCE's utility owned storage projects. For further information see "Management Overview—Capital Program."

Edison International Parent and Other's liquidity and its ability to pay operating expenses and pay dividends to common shareholders are dependent on access to the bank and capital markets, dividends from SCE, realization of tax benefits and its ability to meet California law requirements for the declaration of dividends. Prior to declaring dividends, Edison International's Board of Directors evaluates available information, including when applicable, information pertaining to

28

Table of Contents

the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, to ensure that the California law requirements for the declarations are met. For information on the California law requirements on the declaration of dividends, see "—SCE—SCE Dividends." Edison International intends to maintain its target payout ratio of 45% – 55% of SCE's core earnings, subject to the factors identified above.

Edison International's ability to declare and pay common dividends may be restricted under the terms of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock. For further information see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14. Equity."

Edison International Parent's credit facility requires a consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio as defined in the applicable agreements of less than or equal to 0.70 to 1. At December 31, 2021, Edison International's consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.61 to 1.

At December 31, 2021, Edison International Parent was in compliance with all financial covenants that affect access to capital.

The following table summarizes Edison International Parent's current long-term issuer credit ratings and outlook from the major credit rating agencies:

Moody'sFitchS&P
Credit RatingBaa3BBB-BBB
OutlookStableStableStable

Edison International Parent's credit ratings may be further affected if, among other things, regulators fail to successfully implement AB 1054 in a consistent and credit supportive manner or the Wildfire Insurance Fund is depleted by claims from catastrophic wildfires. Credit rating downgrades increase the cost and may impact the availability of short-term and long-term borrowings, including commercial paper, credit facilities, note financings or other borrowings.

Net Operating Loss and Tax Credit Carryforwards

Edison International has approximately $2.9 billion of tax effected net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards at December 31, 2021 (after offsetting $277 million of unrecognized tax benefits and $223 million of Capistrano Wind net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards), which are available to offset future consolidated tax liabilities. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes" for further information regarding taxes payable to Capistrano Wind. Edison International expects to utilize its net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards through 2029 based on currently enacted tax laws.

Net cash provided by operating activities was impacted by the following:

Net income and non-cash items increased in 2021 by $687 million from 2020 primarily due the impact of adopting the 2021 GRC final decision and higher FERC revenue, partially offset by lower insurance benefits and higher property taxes.

Net cash used in operating activities was also impacted by cash outflow of $95 million related to SCE's contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund in both 2021 and 2020. See "Business—Southern California Wildfire" for further information.

Net cash outflow for working capital was $705 million and $136 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net cash outflow for working capital increased in 2021 mainly due to increases in unbilled revenue and customer receivables of $700 million in 2021 and $357 million in 2020, respectively. The net cash outflow in 2020 was partially offset by an increase in payables of $255 million.

Net cash used in regulatory assets and liabilities, including the increase in net undercollections of balancing accounts, was $720 million and $1,799 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively. SCE has a number of balancing and memorandum

accounts, which impact cash flows based on differences between timing of collection of amounts through rates and accrual expenditures. Cash flows were primarily impacted by the following:

2021

Column 1Column 2
Net undercollections of BRRBA increased by $227 million primarily driven by adoption of the 2021 GRC final decision, including 2021 authorized revenue requirements to be collected over a 27-month period starting October 2021, and CEMA drought authorized revenue requirement to be collected over a 12-month period starting October 2021. The undercollections are partially offset by current year overcollection due to higher sales volume, and recovery of prior year undercollections, including WEMA and GS&RP being collected over a two-year and one-year period, respectively, starting October 2020.
Column 1Column 2
Undercollections of $364 million were related to wildfire-related expenses that are probable of future recovery from customers. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities" for further information.
Column 1Column 2
Undercollections of CEMA accounts decreased by $62 million as a result of approval to recover drought restoration costs, which was transferred to BRRBA for recovery, partially offset by additional restoration costs due to wildfire events in 2020.
Column 1Column 2
Net undercollections for ERRA, PABA and the New System Generation Balancing Account ("NSGBA") increased by $251 million primarily due to current year undercollections as a result of higher gas and power prices, partially offset by higher sales volume, and recovery of prior PABA and NSGBA undercollections.
Column 1Column 2
Undercollections from COVID-19-related memorandum and balancing accounts decreased by $82 million due to transfer of $182 million to ERRA and public purpose programs, partially offset by additional customer uncollectible expenses.
Column 1Column 2
Undercollections of $98 million in the CSRP memorandum account were related to CSRP implementation costs.

2020

Column 1Column 2
Net undercollections of BRRBA were $622 million at December 31, 2020, compared to net overcollections of $328 million at December 31, 2019. Net undercollections increased by $950 million primarily due to refunds of prior overcollections (including incremental tax benefits and overcollections of distribution revenue that are being refunded over an 18-month period, starting in July 2019, as part of SCE's 2018 GRC decision), reclassification of approximately $500 million in undercollections from WEMA to be collected over a two-year period, starting October 2020, and the CPUC approval of $140 million GS&RP spending to be collected over a one-year period, starting October 2020, partially offset by current year overcollections due to higher distribution revenue primarily driven by higher residential usage.
Column 1Column 2
Undercollections of $356 million were related to wildfire-related expenses that are probable of future recovery from customers, including wildfire risk mitigation costs and insurance premiums, partially offset by an approximately $500 million reclassification to BRRBA as discussed above.
Column 1Column 2
Undercollections of $241 million were related to service restoration and damage repair costs that were tracked in CEMA accounts, primarily due to wildfire events incurred in 2020 and drought restoration costs.
Column 1Column 2
Net undercollections of FERC balancing accounts were $12 million at December 31, 2020, compared to net overcollections of $127 million at December 31, 2019. Net overcollections of FERC balancing accounts decreased by $139 million primarily due to a refund of prior year overcollections, expected recoveries from FERC customers

Table of Contents

Column 1Column 2
related to 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events and higher expenses related to wildfire mitigation and vegetation management, partially offset by overcollections due to current year billing at a higher ROE than approved in the 2019 Formula Rate Settlement.
Column 1Column 2
Net undercollections for ERRA, PABA and the New System Generation Balancing Account decreased by $201 million primarily due to recovery of prior ERRA and PABA undercollections, partially offset by undercollections in 2020 due to higher than forecasted power purchase price due to warmer than expected weather in the second half of the year.
Column 1Column 2
Undercollections of $176 million were related to incremental costs associated with COVID-19, primarily related to customer uncollectibles, sequestering certain SCE employees and coordination of SCE's response to the emergency.

Cash flows (used in) or provided by other noncurrent assets and liabilities were primarily related to the insurance recovery of $708 million and $1.0 billion in 2021 and 2020, respectively. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies" for further information.

Cash flows (used in) or provided by other noncurrent assets and liabilities also includes net loss of $31 million and net earnings of $25 million from nuclear decommissioning trust investments in 2021 and 2020, respectively and SCE's payments of decommissioning costs ($238 million and $223 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively). See "Nuclear Decommissioning Activities" below for further discussion.

Contractual Obligations and Contingencies

Contractual Obligations

SCE and Edison International Parent and Other have various contractual obligations, which are recorded as liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Other items, such as certain purchase commitments and other executory contracts, are not recognized as liabilities in the consolidated financial statements but are required to be disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

For details on long-term debt, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."

Certain power purchase agreements which SCE entered into with independent power producers are treated as operating or finance leases. In addition, SCE has other operating lease obligations primarily related to vehicles, office space and other equipment. For further discussion, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies" and "—Note 13. Leases."

SCE also has other purchase obligations primarily related to maintaining reliability and expanding SCE's transmission and distribution system and nuclear fuel supply contracts. For further discussion, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies."

Edison International Parent and Other and SCE have estimated contributions to the pension and postretirement benefits other than pension ("PBOP") plans. These amounts represent estimates that are based on assumptions that are subject to change. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 9. Compensation and Benefit Plans" for further information.

Edison International and SCE have a total net liability recorded for uncertain tax positions. Edison International and SCE cannot make reliable estimates of the cash flows by period due to uncertainty surrounding the timing of resolving these

open tax issues with the tax authorities. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes" for further information.

For details on derivative obligations and asset retirement obligations, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 6. Derivative Instruments" and "—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," respectively.

Contingencies

Edison International's and SCE's contingencies are discussed in "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies."

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

SCE has variable interests in power purchase contracts with variable interest entities and a variable interest in unconsolidated Trust II, Trust III, Trust IV, Trust V and Trust VI that issued $400 million (aggregate liquidation preference) of 5.10%, $275 million (aggregate liquidation preference) of 5.75%, $325 million (aggregate liquidation preference) of 5.375%, $300 million (aggregate liquidation preference) of 5.45% and $475 million (aggregate liquidation preference) of 5.00%, trust securities, respectively, to the public. In 2020, SCE Trust II redeemed $180 million of its trust securities from the public, from its issued trust securities of $400 million. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 3. Variable Interest Entities."

Environmental Developments

For a discussion of environmental developments, see "Business—Environmental Considerations."

MARKET RISK EXPOSURES

Edison International's and SCE's primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates, commodity prices and volumes, and counterparty credit. Derivative instruments are used to manage market risks including market risks of SCE's customers. For further discussion of market risk exposures, including commodity price risk, credit risk and interest rate risk, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 6. Derivative Instruments" and "—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements."

Interest Rate Risk

Edison International and SCE are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of financing, investing and borrowing activities used for liquidity purposes, and to fund business operations and capital investments. The nature and amount of Edison International's and SCE's long-term and short-term debt can be expected to vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. Fluctuations in interest rates can affect earnings and cash flows. Changes in interest rates may impact SCE's authorized rate of return for the period beyond 2021 through a CPUC cost of capital adjustment mechanism, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE" and "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process" for further discussion. The following table summarizes the increase or decrease to the fair value of long-term debt including the current portion, if the market interest rates were changed while leaving all other assumptions the same:

Commodity Price Risk

SCE and its customers are exposed to the risk of a change in the market price of natural gas, electric power and transmission congestion. SCE's hedging program is designed to reduce exposure to variability in market prices related to SCE's purchases and sales of electric power and natural gas. SCE expects recovery of its related hedging costs through the ERRA balancing account or CPUC-approved procurement plans, and as a result, exposure to commodity price is not expected to impact earnings but may impact timing of cash flows. As part of this program, SCE enters into energy options, swaps, forward arrangements and congestion revenue rights ("CRRs"). The transactions are pre-approved by the CPUC or executed in compliance with CPUC-approved procurement plans.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The fair value of derivative instruments is included in the consolidated balance sheets unless subject to an exception under the applicable accounting guidance. Realized gains and losses from derivative instruments are expected to be recovered from or refunded to customers through regulatory mechanisms and, accordingly, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments have no impact on earnings. SCE does not use hedge accounting for these transactions due to this regulatory accounting treatment. For further discussion on fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements."

The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments used to mitigate exposure to commodity price risk was a net asset of $44 million and $108 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The following table summarizes the increase or decrease to the fair values of the net asset of derivative instruments included in the consolidated balance sheets, if the electricity prices or gas prices were changed while leaving all other assumptions constant:

Increase in electricity prices by 10%$13$18
Decrease in electricity prices by 10%(13)(18)
Increase in gas prices by 10%209
Decrease in gas prices by 10%(20)(9)

Credit Risk

Credit risk exposure from counterparties for power and gas trading activities is measured as the sum of net accounts receivable (accounts receivable less accounts payable) and the current fair value of net derivative assets (derivative assets less derivative liabilities) reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. SCE enters into master agreements which typically provide for a right of set-off. Accordingly, SCE's credit risk exposure from counterparties is based on a net exposure under these arrangements. SCE manages the credit risk on the portfolio of counterparties based on credit ratings and other publicly disclosed information, such as financial statements, regulatory filings and press releases, to guide it in the process of setting credit levels, risk limits and contractual arrangements, including master netting agreements. Based on SCE's policies and risk exposures related to credit, SCE does not anticipate a material adverse effect on their financial statements as a result of counterparty nonperformance. At December 31, 2021, SCE's power and gas trading counterparty credit risk exposure was $45 million, all of which is associated with entities that have an investment grade rating of A or higher. SCE assigns a credit rating to counterparties based on the lower of a counterparty's S&P or Moody's rating.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES

The accounting policies described below are considered critical to obtaining an understanding of Edison International's and SCE's consolidated financial statements because their application requires the use of significant estimates and judgments by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Management estimates and judgments are inherently uncertain and may differ significantly from actual results achieved. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if the estimate requires significant assumptions and changes in the estimate or, the use of alternative estimates, could have a material impact on Edison International's results of operations or financial position. For more information on Edison International's accounting policies, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."

Rate Regulated Enterprises

Nature of Estimate Required.   SCE follows the accounting principles for rate-regulated enterprises which are required for entities whose rates are set by regulators at levels intended to recover the estimated costs of providing service, plus a return on net investment, or rate base. Regulators may also impose penalties or grant incentives. Due to timing and other differences in the collection of revenue, these principles allow a cost that would otherwise be charged as an expense by an unregulated entity to be capitalized as a regulatory asset if it is probable that such cost is recoverable through future rates; conversely the principles allow creation of a regulatory liability for amounts collected in rates to recover costs expected to be incurred in the future or amounts collected in excess of costs incurred and refundable to customers. In addition, SCE recognizes revenue and regulatory assets from alternative revenue programs, which enables the utility to adjust future rates in response to past activities or completed events, if certain criteria are met, even for programs that do not qualify for recognition of "traditional" regulatory assets and liabilities.

Accounting principles for rate-regulated enterprises also require recognition of an impairment loss if it becomes probable that the regulated utility will abandon a plant investment, or if it becomes probable that the cost of a recently completed plant will be disallowed, either directly or indirectly, for ratemaking purposes and a reasonable estimate of the amount of the disallowance can be made.

Key Assumptions and Approach Used.   SCE's management assesses at the end of each reporting period whether regulatory assets are probable of future recovery by considering factors such as the current regulatory environment, the issuance of rate orders on recovery of the specific or a similar incurred cost to SCE or other rate-regulated entities, and other factors that would indicate that the regulator will treat an incurred cost as allowable for ratemaking purposes. Using these factors, management has determined that existing regulatory assets and liabilities are probable of future recovery or settlement. This determination reflects the current regulatory climate and is subject to change in the future. SCE also considers whether any plant investments are probable of abandonment or disallowance.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used.   Significant management judgment is required to evaluate the anticipated recovery of regulatory assets and plant investments, the recognition of incentives and revenue subject to refund, as well as the anticipated cost of regulatory liabilities or penalties. If future recovery of costs ceases to be probable, all or part of the regulatory assets, plant investments and/or liabilities would have to be written off against current period earnings. At December 31, 2021, the consolidated balance sheets included regulatory assets of $9.4 billion and regulatory liabilities of $9.6 billion. If different judgments were reached on recovery of costs and timing of income recognition, SCE's earnings may vary from the amounts reported.

Accounting for Contingencies

Nature of Estimates Required. Edison International and SCE record loss contingencies when management determines that the outcome of future events is probable of occurring and when the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies are recognized in the financial statements when they are realized.

37

Table of Contents

Key Assumptions and Approach Used. The determination of an accrual for a loss contingency is based on management judgment and estimates with respect to the likely outcome of the matter, including the analysis of different scenarios. Liabilities are recorded or adjusted when events or circumstances cause these judgments or estimates to change. In assessing whether a loss is a reasonable possibility, Edison International and SCE may consider the following factors, among others: the nature of the litigation, claim or assessment, available information, opinions or views of legal counsel and other advisors, and the experience gained from similar cases. Edison International and SCE provide disclosures for material contingencies when there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or an additional loss may be incurred.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used. Actual amounts realized upon settlement of contingencies may be different than amounts recorded and disclosed and could have a significant impact on the liabilities, revenue and expenses recorded on the consolidated financial statements. For a discussion of contingencies, guarantees and indemnities, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies."

Application to Southern California Wildfires

As discussed in "Management Overview," wildfires in SCE's territory, including those where SCE's equipment may be alleged to be associated with the fire's ignition, have caused loss of life and substantial damage in recent years. Wildfires in SCE's territory in December 2017 and November 2018 caused loss of life, substantial damage to both residential and business properties, and service outages for SCE customers.

Any potential liability of SCE for damages related to wildfires depends on a number of factors, including whether SCE is determined to have substantially caused, or contributed to, the damages and whether parties seeking recovery of damages will be required to show negligence in addition to causation. Final determinations of liability for wildfire events, including determinations of whether SCE was negligent, would only be made during lengthy and complex litigation processes.

Management judgment was required to assess whether a loss contingency was probable and reasonably estimable for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. Based on SCE's internal review into the facts and circumstances of each of the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events and consideration of the risks associated with litigation, Edison International and SCE have incurred material losses in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. Edison International and SCE accrued charges, before recoveries and taxes, of $1.3 billion, $1.3 billion and $232 million for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events in the years ended 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Edison International and SCE recorded expected recoveries from insurance of $2.0 billion for 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events during 2018. Edison International and SCE also recorded expected recoveries through FERC electric rates of $67 million, $84 million and $14 million in the years 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The net charges to earnings recorded were $894 million, $874 million and $157 million after-tax in 2021, 2020 and 2019 respectively.

Estimated losses for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation are based on a number of assumptions and are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Actual losses incurred may be higher or lower than estimated based on several factors, including: the uncertainty in estimating damages that have been or may be alleged, the ability to reach settlements through the ongoing claims mediation processes, uncertainties related to the litigation processes, uncertainty as to the legal and factual determinations to be made during litigation, including uncertainty as to the contributing causes of the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, the complexities associated with fires that merge and whether inverse condemnation will be held applicable to SCE with respect to damages caused by the Montecito Mudslides, and the uncertainty as to how these factors impact future settlements.

In light of the TKM Subrogation Settlement and increased settlement activity with individual plaintiffs in the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation, among other things, management previously established a best estimate of expected potential losses for alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation in the third quarter of 2020. Each reporting period, management reviews its loss estimates for remaining alleged and potential claims

38

Table of Contents

related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. The net result of management's 2021 reviews, including a review of information obtained as a result of achieving key milestones in the litigation process, including settlement activity to date and the expiration of some statutes of limitations, was a $1.3 billion increase in estimated losses for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events during the third quarter of 2021.

Recovery of SCE's actual losses realized in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events in excess of available insurance is subject to approval by regulators. Under accounting standards for rate-regulated enterprises, SCE defers costs as regulatory assets when it concludes that such costs are probable of future recovery in electric rates. SCE utilizes objectively determinable evidence to form its view on probability of future recovery. The only directly comparable precedent in which a California investor-owned utility has sought recovery for uninsured wildfire-related costs is SDG&E's requests for cost recovery related to 2007 wildfire activity, where the FERC allowed recovery of all FERC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs while the CPUC rejected recovery of all CPUC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs based on a determination that SDG&E did not meet the CPUC's prudency standard. As a result, while SCE does not agree with the CPUC's decision, it believes that the CPUC's interpretation and application of the prudency standard to SDG&E creates substantial uncertainty regarding how that standard will be applied to an investor-owned utility in wildfire cost-recovery proceedings for fires ignited prior to July 12, 2019. SCE will continue to evaluate the probability of recovery based on available evidence, including judicial, legislative and regulatory decisions, including any CPUC decisions illustrating the interpretation and/or application of the prudency standard when making determinations regarding recovery of uninsured wildfire-related costs. While the CPUC has not made a determination regarding SCE's prudency relative to any of the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, SCE is unable to conclude, at this time, that uninsured CPUC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs are probable of recovery through electric rates. SCE would record a regulatory asset at the time it obtains sufficient information to support a conclusion that recovery is probable. Through the operation of its FERC Formula Rate and based upon the precedent established in SDG&E's recovery of FERC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs, SCE believes it is probable it will recover its FERC-jurisdictional wildfire and debris flow-related costs and has recorded expected recoveries within the FERC balancing account.

Over the course of the various investigations and litigation processes associated with each of the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, new facts may emerge as to the cause, extent and magnitude of potential damages. The amount of the expected loss and recorded receivables are subject to change based on new or additional information.

Income Taxes

Nature of Estimates Required.   As part of the process of preparing its consolidated financial statements, Edison International and SCE are required to estimate income taxes for each jurisdiction in which they operate. This process involves estimating actual current period tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depreciation, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within Edison International's and SCE's consolidated balance sheets, including net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Certain estimates and assumptions are required to determine whether deferred tax assets can and will be utilized in future periods. Edison International expects that $7 million in loss and credit carryovers set to expire in 2022, will go unutilized and established a valuation allowance against this asset during 2021. Based on currently enacted tax laws, Edison International expects to generate sufficient taxable income beginning in 2023 to fully utilize all loss and credit carryovers set to expire beyond 2022.

Edison International and SCE take certain tax positions they believe are in accordance with the applicable tax laws. However, these tax positions are subject to interpretation by the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities and the courts. Edison International and SCE determine uncertain tax positions in accordance with the authoritative guidance.

Key Assumptions and Approach Used.  In determining whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards can be utilized, management analyzes the trend of U.S. GAAP earnings and

39

Table of Contents

then estimates the impact of future taxable income, reversing temporary differences and available prudent and feasible tax planning strategies based on currently enacted tax laws.

Accounting for tax obligations requires management judgment. Edison International's and SCE's management use judgment in determining whether the evidence indicates it is more likely than not, based solely on the technical merits, that a tax position will be sustained, and to determine the amount of tax benefits to be recognized. Judgment is also used in determining the likelihood a tax position will be settled and possible settlement outcomes. In assessing uncertain tax positions Edison International and SCE consider, among others, the following factors: the facts and circumstances of the position, regulations, rulings, and case law, opinions or views of legal counsel and other advisers, and the experience gained from similar tax positions. Edison International and SCE evaluate uncertain tax positions at the end of each reporting period and make adjustments when warranted based on changes in fact or law.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used.  Should a change in facts or circumstances, including a change in enacted tax legislation, lead to a change in judgment about the ultimate realizability of a deferred tax asset, Edison International and SCE would record or adjust the related valuation allowance in the period that the change in facts and circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding increase or decrease in the provision for income taxes.

Actual income taxes may differ from the estimated amounts which could have a significant impact on the liabilities, revenue and expenses recorded in the financial statements. Edison International and SCE continue to be under audit or subject to audit for multiple years in various jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required to determine the tax treatment of particular tax positions that involve interpretations of complex tax laws. Such liabilities are based on judgment and a final determination could take many years from the time the liability is recorded. Furthermore, settlement of tax positions included in open tax years may be resolved by compromises of tax positions based on current factors and business considerations that may result in material adjustments to income taxes previously estimated. For a discussion of current and deferred taxes, net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, unrecognized tax benefits, and tax disputes, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes."

Nuclear Decommissioning – Asset Retirement Obligation

Key Assumptions and Approach Used.   San Onofre Units 1, 2 and 3 decommissioning cost estimates are updated in each Nuclear Decommissioning Cost Triennial Proceeding ("NDCTP") and when there are material changes to the timing or amount of estimated future cash flows. Palo Verde decommissioning cost estimates are updated by the operating agent, Arizona Public Services, every three years and when there are material changes to the timing or amount of estimated future cash flows. SCE estimates that it will spend approximately $6.3 billion undiscounted through 2080 to decommission its nuclear facilities.

The current ARO estimates for San Onofre and Palo Verde are based on:

Column 1Column 2
Decommissioning Costs. The estimated costs for labor, material, equipment and other, and low-level radioactive waste costs are included in each of the NRC decommissioning stages: license termination, site restoration and spent fuel storage. The liability to decommission SCE's nuclear power facilities is based on a 2020 decommissioning study to be filed as part of the 2021 NDCTP for San Onofre Unit 1, 2 and 3 and a 2019 decommissioning study for Palo Verde, with revisions to the cost estimate in 2020.
Column 1Column 2
Escalation Rates. Annual escalation rates are used to convert the decommissioning cost estimates in base year dollars to decommissioning cost estimates in future-year dollars. Escalation rates are primarily used for labor, material, equipment and low-level radioactive waste burial costs. SCE's current estimates are based upon SCE's decommissioning cost methodology used for ratemaking purposes. Average escalation rates range from 1.7% to 7.5% (depending on the cost element) annually.

40

Table of Contents

Column 1Column 2
Timing. Cost estimates for Palo Verde are based on an assumption that decommissioning will commence promptly after the current NRC operating licenses expire. The Palo Verde 1, 2, 3 operating licenses currently expire in 2045, 2046 and 2047, respectively. Initial decommissioning activities at San Onofre Unit 1 started in 1999 and at Units 2 and 3 in 2013. Cost estimates for San Onofre Units are currently based on completion of decommissioning activities by 2053.
Column 1Column 2
Spent Fuel Dry Storage Costs. Cost estimates, including the impact of escalations, are based on an assumption that the U.S. Department of Energy will begin to take spent fuel from the nuclear industry in 2031 and will remove the last spent fuel from the San Onofre and Palo Verde sites by 2051 and 2078, respectively.
Column 1Column 2
Changes in Decommissioning Technology, Regulation and Economics. The current cost studies assume the use of current technologies under current regulations and at current cost levels.

See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Decommissioning of San Onofre" for further discussion of the plans for decommissioning of San Onofre.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used.  The ARO for decommissioning SCE's nuclear facilities was $2.4 billion as of December 31, 2021, based on the decommissioning studies performed and the subsequent cost estimate updates. Changes in the estimated costs, execution strategy or timing of decommissioning, or in the assumptions and judgments by management underlying these estimates, could cause material revisions to the estimated total cost to decommission these facilities which could have a material effect on the recorded liability.

The following table illustrates the increase to the ARO liability if the cost escalation rate was adjusted while leaving all other assumptions constant:

Increase to ARO and
Regulatory Asset at
(in millions)December 31, 2021
Uniform increase in escalation rate of 1 percentage point$582

The increase in the ARO liability driven by an increase in the escalation rate would result in a decrease in the regulatory liability for recoveries in excess of ARO liabilities.

Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions

Nature of Estimate Required.   Authoritative accounting guidance requires companies to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans as assets and liabilities in the balance sheet; the assets and/or liabilities are normally offset through other comprehensive income (loss). In accordance with authoritative guidance for rate-regulated enterprises, regulatory assets and liabilities are recorded instead of charges and credits to other comprehensive income (loss) for its postretirement benefit plans that are recoverable in utility rates. Edison International and SCE have a fiscal year-end measurement date for all of their postretirement plans.

Key Assumptions of Approach Used.   Pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and the related effects on results of operations are calculated using actuarial models. Two critical assumptions, discount rate and expected return on assets, are important elements of plan expense, and the discount rate is important to liability measurement. Additionally, health care cost trend rates are critical assumptions for postretirement health care plans. These critical assumptions are evaluated at least annually. Other assumptions, which require management judgment, such as rate of compensation increases and rates of retirement and turnover, are evaluated periodically and updated to reflect actual experience.

As of December 31, 2021, Edison International's and SCE's pension plans had a $4.2 billion and $3.7 billion projected benefit obligation, respectively, and total 2021 expense for these plans was $48 million and $44 million, respectively. As

41

Table of Contents

of December 31, 2021, the accumulated benefit obligation for both Edison International's and SCE's PBOP plans were $1.9 billion, and total 2021 expense for Edison International's plan were $1 million, and no expense for SCE's plans. Annual contributions made to most of SCE's pension plans are currently recovered through CPUC-approved regulatory mechanisms and are expected to be, at a minimum, equal to the related annual expense.

Pension expense is recorded for SCE based on the amount funded to the trusts, as calculated using an actuarial method required for ratemaking purposes, in which the impact of market volatility on plan assets is recognized in earnings on a more gradual basis. Any difference between pension expense calculated in accordance with ratemaking methods and pension expense calculated in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance for pension is accumulated as a regulatory asset or liability, and is expected, over time, to be recovered from or returned to customers. As of December 31, 2021, this cumulative difference amounted to $70 million, meaning that the ratemaking method has recognized less in expense than the accounting method since implementation of authoritative guidance for employers' accounting for pensions in 1987, which was more than offset by a regulatory liability for the current funding level of SCE's pension plan.

Edison International and SCE used the following critical assumptions to determine expense for pension and other postretirement benefit for 2021:

Postretirement
PensionBenefits Other
(in millions)Plansthan Pensions
Discount rate12.38%2.67%
Expected long-term return on plan assets25.50%4.00%

*     Not applicable to pension plans.

Column 1Column 2
1The discount rate enables Edison International and SCE to state expected future cash flows at a present value on the measurement date. Edison International and SCE select its discount rate by performing a yield curve analysis. This analysis determines the equivalent discount rate on projected cash flows by matching the timing and amount of expected future benefit payments to the corresponding yields from the Wills Towers Watson RATE: Link 10th – 90th percentile yield curve model on the measurement date.
Column 1Column 2
2To determine the expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, current and expected asset allocations are considered, as well as historical and expected returns on plan assets. A portion of PBOP trusts asset returns are subject to taxation, so the 4.0% rate of return on plan assets above is determined on an after-tax basis. Actual time-weighted, annualized returns on the pension plan assets were 9.3%, 11.2% and 10.5% for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. Actual time-weighted, annualized returns on the PBOP plan assets were 6.7%, 9.3% and 9.4% over these same periods. Accounting principles provide that differences between expected and actual returns are recognized over the average future service of employees.
Column 1Column 2
3The health care cost trend rate gradually declines to 5.0% for 2029 and beyond.

As of December 31, 2021, Edison International and SCE had unrecognized pension gains of $321 million and $383 million, respectively, and unrecognized PBOP gains of $885 million and $886 million, respectively. The unrecognized pension and PBOP gains primarily consisted of the cumulative impact of the increased discount rates on the respective benefit obligations and the cumulative difference between the expected and actual rate of return on plan assets. Of these deferred gains, $395 million of SCE's pension gains and $886 million of SCE's PBOP gains are recorded as regulatory liabilities, respectively, and are expected to refund over the average expected future service of employees.

Edison International's and SCE's pension and PBOP plans are subject to limits established for federal tax deductibility. SCE funds its pension and PBOP plans in accordance with amounts allowed by the CPUC. Executive pension plans have no plan assets.

Table of Contents

Effect if Different Assumptions Used.   Changes in the estimated costs or timing of pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, or the assumptions and judgments used by management underlying these estimates, could have a material effect on the recorded expenses and liabilities.

The following table summarizes the increase or decrease to projected benefit obligation for pension and the accumulated benefit obligation for PBOP if the discount rate were changed while leaving all other assumptions constant:

A one percentage point increase in the expected rate of return on pension plan assets would decrease Edison International's and SCE's current year expense by $40 million and $38 million, respectively, and a one percentage point increase in the expected rate of return on PBOP plan assets would decrease both Edison International's and SCE's current year expense by $27 million.

Contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund

Nature of Estimates Required. At December 31, 2021, Edison International and SCE have a $2.4 billion long-term asset and a $204 million current asset reflected as "Wildfire Insurance Fund contributions" in the consolidated balance sheets for the initial $2.4 billion contribution made during 2019 and the present value of annual contributions SCE committed to make to the Wildfire Insurance Fund, reduced by amortization. At December 31, 2021, a long-term liability of $620 million has been reflected in "Other deferred credits and other long-term liabilities" for the present value of unpaid contribution amounts. Contributions were discounted to the present value at the date SCE committed to participate in the Wildfire Insurance Fund using US treasury interest rates.

Management concluded it would be most appropriate to account for the contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund similar to prepaid insurance, ratably allocating the expense to periods based on an estimated period of coverage.

Key Assumptions and Approach Used. The Wildfire Insurance Fund does not have a defined life. Instead, the Wildfire Insurance Fund will terminate when the administrator determines that the fund has been exhausted. In 2021 management estimated that the Wildfire Insurance Fund will provide insurance coverage for a period of 15 years. The determination of the correct period in which to record an expense in relation to contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund depends, among other factors, on management's assessment of: the future occurrence and magnitude of wildfires; the involvement of SCE, or other electrical corporations which could access the Wildfire Insurance Fund, in the ignition of those fires; the probable future outcomes of CPUC cost recovery proceedings for wildfire claims, which may require reimbursement of the fund by electrical corporations; and the use of the contributions by the administrator of the Wildfire Insurance Fund. Further information regarding these factors may become available due to the actions of the fund administrator, or other entities, which could require management to reassess the period of coverage. In estimating the period of coverage, Edison International and SCE used Monte Carlo simulations based on seven years (2014 – 2020) of historical data from wildfires caused by electrical utility equipment to estimate expected loss. The details of the operation of the Wildfire Insurance Fund and estimates related to claims by SCE, PG&E and SDG&E against the fund have been applied to the expected loss simulations to estimate the period of coverage of the fund. The most sensitive inputs to the estimated period of coverage are the expected frequency of wildfire events caused by investor-owned utility electrical equipment and the estimated costs associated with those forecasted events. These inputs are most affected by the historical data used in estimating expected losses. Using a 15-year period of historical data, with average annual statewide gross claims

43

Table of Contents

of $4.3 billion, compared to $7.6 billion for the eight-year historical data, would increase the period of coverage to 25 years.

Based on information available in the first quarter of 2022 regarding catastrophic wildfires during 2021, SCE reassessed its estimate of the life of the Wildfire Insurance Fund. Using eight years of historical data (2014 – 2021) of wildfires caused by electrical utility equipment to create Monte Carlo simulations of expected loss, the expected life of the Wildfire Insurance Fund remained 15 years from the date SCE committed to participate in the Wildfire Insurance Fund.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used. Changes in the estimated life of the insurance fund could have a material impact on the expense recognition.

NEW ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

New accounting guidance is discussed in "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—New Accounting Guidance."
