Edison International Reports First Quarter 2026 Results

April 28, 2026 4:05 PM

ROSEMEAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Edison International (NYSE: EIX) today reported first-quarter net income of $531 million, or $1.38 per share, compared to net income of $1,436 million, or $3.73 per share, in the first quarter of last year. As adjusted, first-quarter core earnings were $546 million, or $1.42 per share, compared to core earnings of $528 million, or $1.37 per share, in the first quarter of last year.

Southern California Edison’s first-quarter 2026 core earnings per share (EPS) increased year over year, 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.

Edison International Parent and Other’s first-quarter 2026 core loss per share decreased year over year, primarily due to lower preferred stock dividends, partially offset by higher interest expense.

“We are pleased with our start to the year and the momentum across our business,” said Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International. “Our continued performance reflects disciplined execution and steady operational progress to make communities safer and more resilient, including wildfire mitigation and rebuilding efforts.”

Pizarro added, “At the same time, we remain focused on supporting communities impacted by wildfires, including through the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program. SCE remains committed to administering the program in a transparent way that is responsive to community needs with fast and fair payments.”

Edison International uses core earnings internally for financial planning and analysis of performance. Core earnings are also used when communicating with investors and analysts regarding Edison International’s earnings results to facilitate comparisons of the company’s performance from period to period. Please see the attached tables to reconcile core earnings to basic GAAP earnings.

Appendix

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Edison International’s earnings and basic earnings per share (EPS) are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States and represent the company’s earnings as reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our management uses core earnings and core EPS internally for financial planning and for analysis of performance of Edison International and Southern California Edison. We also use core earnings and core EPS when communicating with analysts and investors regarding our earnings results to facilitate comparisons of the Company’s performance from period to period. Financial measures referred to as net income, basic EPS, core earnings, or core EPS also apply to the description of earnings or earnings per share.

Core earnings and core EPS are non-GAAP financial measures and may not be comparable to those of other companies. Core earnings and core EPS are defined as basic earnings and basic EPS excluding income or loss from discontinued operations and income or loss from significant discrete items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings. Basic earnings and losses refer to net income or losses attributable to Edison International shareholders. Core earnings are reconciled to basic earnings in the attached tables. The impact of participating securities (vested awards that earn dividend equivalents that may participate in undistributed earnings with common stock) for the principal operating subsidiary is not material to the principal operating subsidiary’s EPS and is therefore reflected in the results of the Edison International holding company, which is included in Edison International Parent and Other.
