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.

1 Charges 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.
2 SCE 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.
