Appendix
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Basic earnings and losses refer to net income or losses attributable to

These forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations; however, such statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from current expectations. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations only as of the date of this release, and
-
ability of SCE to recover its costs through regulated rates, timely or at all, including uninsured wildfire-related and debris flow-related costs (including amounts paid for self-insured retention and co-insurance, and amounts not recoverable from the
Wildfire Insurance Fund ), and costs incurred for wildfire restoration efforts and to mitigate the risk of utility equipment causing future wildfires; -
the cybersecurity of
Edison International's and SCE's critical information technology systems for grid control and business, employee and customer data, and the physical security ofEdison International's and SCE's critical assets and personnel; - risks associated with the operation and maintenance of electrical facilities, including worker, contractor, and public safety issues, the risk of utility assets causing or contributing to wildfires, failure, availability, efficiency, and output of equipment and facilities, and availability and cost of spare parts;
- impact of affordability of customer rates on SCE's ability to execute its strategy, including the impact of affordability on SCE’s ability to obtain regulatory approval of, or cost recovery for, operations and maintenance expenses, proposed capital investment projects, and increased costs due to supply chain constraints, tariffs, inflation and rising interest rates;
- ability of SCE to update its grid infrastructure to maintain system integrity and reliability, and meet electrification needs;
-
ability of SCE to implement its operational and strategic plans, including its Wildfire Mitigation Plan and capital investment program, including those related to project site identification, public opposition, environmental mitigation, construction, permitting, contractor performance, changes in the
California Independent System Operator's (“CAISO”) transmission plans, and governmental approvals; - risks of regulatory or legislative restrictions that would limit SCE's ability to implement operational measures to mitigate wildfire risk, including Public Safety Power Shutoff (“PSPS”) and fast curve settings, when conditions warrant or would otherwise limit SCE's operational practices relative to wildfire risk mitigation;
-
ability of SCE to obtain safety certifications from the
Office of Energy Infrastructure Safety of the California Natural Resources Agency (“OEIS“); -
risk that California Assembly Bill 1054 (“AB 1054“) does not effectively mitigate the significant exposure faced by
California investor-owned utilities related to liability for damages arising from catastrophic wildfires where utility facilities are alleged to be a substantial cause, including the longevity of theWildfire Insurance Fund and theCalifornia Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) interpretation of and actions under AB 1054, including its interpretation of the prudency standard clarified by AB 1054; -
ability of
Edison International and SCE to effectively attract, manage, develop and retain a skilled workforce, including its contract workers; -
decisions and other actions by the CPUC, the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission , and theUnited States Nuclear Regulatory Commission and other governmental authorities, including decisions and actions related to nationwide or statewide crisis, approval of regulatory proceeding settlements, determinations of authorized rates of return or return on equity, the recoverability of wildfire-related and debris flow-related costs, issuance of SCE's wildfire safety certification, wildfire mitigation efforts, approval and implementation of electrification programs, and delays in executive, regulatory and legislative actions; -
governmental, statutory, regulatory, or administrative changes or initiatives affecting the electricity industry, including the market structure rules applicable to each market adopted by the
North American Electric Reliability Corporation , CAISO,Western Electricity Coordinating Council , and similar regulatory bodies in adjoining regions, and changes inthe United States' andCalifornia's environmental priorities that lessen the importance placed on greenhouse gas reduction and other climate related priorities; - potential for penalties or disallowances for non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including fines, penalties and disallowances related to wildfires where SCE's equipment is alleged to be associated with ignition;
- extreme weather-related incidents (including events caused, or exacerbated, by climate change), such as wildfires, debris flows, flooding, droughts, high wind events and extreme heat events and other natural disasters (such as earthquakes), which could cause, among other things, worker and public safety issues, property damage, outages and other operational issues (such as issues due to damaged infrastructure), PSPS activations and unanticipated costs;
- risks associated with the decommissioning of San Onofre, including those related to worker and public safety, public opposition, permitting, governmental approvals, on-site storage of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive material, delays, contractual disputes, and cost overruns;
- risks associated with cost allocation resulting in higher rates for utility bundled service customers because of possible customer bypass or departure for other electricity providers such as Community Choice Aggregators (“CCA,” which are cities, counties, and certain other public agencies with the authority to generate and/or purchase electricity for their local residents and businesses) and Electric Service Providers (entities that offer electric power and ancillary services to retail customers, other than electrical corporations (like SCE) and CCAs);
-
actions by credit rating agencies to downgrade
Edison International or SCE’s credit ratings or to place those ratings on negative watch or negative outlook.
Other important factors are discussed under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements”, “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in Edison International’s Form 10-K and other reports filed with the
