EDISON INTERNATIONAL

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, andcapital market and bank financings. SCE also has availability under its credit facility to fund cash requirements. SCE expects to issue additional debt for general corporate purposes, and to securitize the recovery of 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events as permitted by the TKM Settlement Agreement subject to the filing and approval of a securitization financing order.

SCE issued securitized bonds in the amounts of $775 million and $533 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively, to finance the required AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures and related financing costs. For more information, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."

The following table summarizes SCE's current long-term issuer credit ratings and outlook from the major credit rating agencies, and SCE's credit rating outlook as of February 20, 2025:

SCE's credit ratings may be affected if, among other things, regulators fail to successfully implement AB 1054 in a consistent and credit supportive manner, or the Wildfire Insurance Fund is materially depleted, or a persistent increase in the frequency of severe wildfires in California leads the credit rating agencies to believe the Wildfire Insurance Fund is at risk of a 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 and environmental remediation obligations would require SCE to pay related liabilities or post additional collateral if SCE's credit rating were to fall below investment grade.
