MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The discussion related to the changes in financial condition for 2024 compared to 2023 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, 2024, which was filed with the SEC in February 2025.
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 July 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 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.
Reflected below is SCE's weighted average annual rate base for 2025 – 2030, based on the capital expenditure forecasts discussed above. In addition, the table below does not reflect the SB 254 Excluded Capital Expenditures, which SCE plans to recover through the issuance of securitized bonds.

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
8
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
9
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).
11
Table of Contents
The table below sets out the authorized revenue and costs of service for the 2024 authorized revenue requirement and the 2025 GRC final decision:
Cost of service:
1Adjustments to the 2024 authorized revenue requirement primarily related to the Customer Service Re-Platform project, which was recovered through a CPUC non-GRC recovery mechanism and approved to be included in the GRC-authorized revenue in the 2025 GRC.
2Reflects SCE's GRC authorized revenue as filed in SCE's September 2025 GRC implementation advice letter.
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.

Years ended December 31, Favorable (Unfavorable)
Edison International Parent and Other net loss $ (332) $ (248) $ (84)
Less: Preferred stock dividend requirements 98 87 (11)
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

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's Fitch S&P
Credit Rating Baa1 BBB BBB-
Outlook Stable Stable Negative
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.

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.
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.

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 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 Provided by Financing Activities
