Edison International is the parent holding company of Southern California Edison (SCE), an investor-owned utility that supplies and delivers electricity to a 50,000 square mile area of southern California. SCE's competitive advantages include its established infrastructure and regulatory relationships. Key markets include residential, commercial, and industrial customers in Southern California.
Edison International's second quarter 2024 earnings increased $85 million YoY, resulting from a $103 million increase in SCE's earnings. SCE's higher net income consisted of $88 million of higher core earnings and $15 million of lower non-core loss, indicating improved underlying operational performance.
Edison International's earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased $236 million YoY, resulting from a decrease in SCE's earnings of $202 million. SCE's lower net income consisted of $309 million of higher losses in non-core items, partially offset by $107 million of higher core earnings.
The increase in SCE's core earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, from the same period in 2023 was primarily due to higher revenue authorized in Track 4, an increase in the authorized rate of return resulting from the cost of capital adjustment mechanism and recognition of previously unrecognized return on rate base related to wildfire restoration efforts.
