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.

Edison International's secondInternational’s first quarter 20202021 earnings decreased $74increased $76 million from the secondfirst quarter of 2019,2020, resulting from a decreasean increase in SCE'sSCE’s earnings of $38$77 million and an increase in Edison International Parent and Other'sOther’s losses of $36$1 million. SCE'sSCE’s higher earnings consists of $77 million of higher core earnings, and non-core losses consistent with the prior year.

The increase in SCE’s core earnings was primarily due to lower earnings consistedexpenses related to wildfire mitigation activities and employee benefits as well as higher income from the equity portion of $91allowance for funds used during construction ("AFUDC").

Edison International Parent and Other’s losses for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which are largely consistent with prior year, consist of $4 million of higher core losses, partially offset by $3 million of lower non-core losses and $129 millionlosses.

The decrease in SCE's core earnings for both periods was primarily due to the adoption of the 2018 GRC decision in the second quarter of 2019, the timing of wildfire mitigation activities and the timing of customer uncollectible, labor and other expenses resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and SCE's response to it, partially offset by higher CPUC-related revenue due to the escalation mechanism as set forth in the 2018 GRC decision. As further discussed below, SCE has several regulatory mechanisms that allow it to seek recovery of prudently incurred wildfire mitigation and COVID-19 related costs. SCE defers costs as regulatory assets that are probable of future recovery from customers. SCE performs its assessment of future recovery after its year-to-date spending exceeds the amounts authorized for the full calendar year under its current revenue requirement.
Edison International Parent and Other's increased net loss for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020 was due to higher core losses of $11 million and $29 million, respectively, and higher non-core losses of $25 million and $28 million, respectively. Edison International's increase in core losses was primarily due to higher interest expense.

Consolidated non-core items for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 primarily included:

Charges of $53 million ($38 million after-tax) recorded in 2021 and $84 million ($60 million after-tax) recorded in 2020 from the amortization of SCE’s contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund.

COVID-19

Southern California began experiencingWildfires and Mudslides

California has experienced unprecedented weather conditions in recent years and SCE's service territory remains susceptible to additional wildfire activity in 2021 and beyond. The worsening conditions across California increase the impactslikelihood of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter of 2020. The total impacts of the pandemic are still emerging and will vary depending on the severity of impacts on society and the economy of the US and California, but itwildfires, including those where SCE's equipment may have a material impact on SCE's abilitybe alleged to execute its planned work, including wildfire mitigation and capital projects and on the liquidity, cash flows and results of operations of Edison International and SCE. Factors that may increase in severity or that may emerge to cause these impacts include lack of availability of company and contractor employees to perform their job functions, supply chain disruptions, stop-work orders and limitations on the ability to obtain permits for work from local governments, reduced electricity usage by commercial and industrial customers

partially offset by increased electricity usage by residential customers, non-payment due to the economic impacts on the customers served by SCE and narrower access to, or increased costs of accessing, bank and capital markets.
Decoupling revenue mechanisms allow for differences in revenue resulting from actual and forecast volumetric electricity sales to be collected from or refunded to ratepayers and therefore insulate SCE's earnings from reductions in electricity usage.
In March 2020, the governor of California announced a statewide emergency as part of the state's response to address the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result SCE established memorandum accounts with CPUC approval, effective March 2020, to track incremental costs associated with the emergency for recovery, subjectfire's ignition. In response to CPUC reasonableness reviews.
As a direct result ofworsening weather and fuel conditions and increased wildfire activity over the pandemic,past several years, SCE has incurred $49 million above amounts authorized in the 2018 GRC primarily relateddeveloped and is implementing its 2020 – 2022 WMP to customer uncollectibles, sequestering certain SCE employees at essential work locations and coordination of SCE's response to the emergency. As of June 30, 2020, SCE had recorded regulatory assets for these incremental costs. For further information see "Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 11. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities" and "Risk Factors."
The pandemic has also affected the operations of Edison International and SCE with all employees who, in the companies' assessment, can work remotely and perform their job functions effectively, directed to do so. Some employees and contract workers continue to work at SCE facilities or in the field to maintain operations and perform critical work to protect public safety and reduce the risk of wildfires.
Regulatory Proceedings
2021 General Rate Case
In August 2019, SCE filed its 2021 GRC application for the three-year period 2021 2023. Following amendments and other
revisionsequipment contributing to the applicationignition of wildfires. In addition, California has increased its investment in November 2019wildfire prevention and February 2020,fire suppression capabilities.

catastrophic wildfires during extreme weather events. SCE may be subject to mandated changes to, or restrictions on, its operational PSPS practices, regulatory fines and penalties, claims for damages and reputational harm if SCE does not execute PSPS in compliance with applicable rules and regulations or if it is determined that SCE has placed excessive or unreasonable reliance on PSPS. In April and May 2020, intervenors to the 2021, GRC proceeding, including the CPUC Public Advocates Office ("Cal Advocates") and The Utility Reform Network ("TURN"), submitted testimony in response to SCE's revised application. Cal Advocates proposed reductions to 2021 operation and maintenance spending of $423 million or 15% of the total, and reductions to 2021 capital spending of $445 million or 9% of the total. TURN proposed reductions to 2021 operation and maintenance spending of $556 million or 17% of the total, and reductions to 2021 capital spending of $714 million or 14% of the total. The reductions to capital expenditures proposed by both parties included significant proposed reductions to SCE's Wildfire Covered Conductor Program. If adopted, the proposals of Cal Advocates and TURN would result in a 2021 revenue requirement of approximately $6.9 billion and $6.7 billion, respectively.
In June 2020, in its rebuttal testimony, SCE revised its requested 2021 revenue requirement to $7.5 billion, a $1.1 billion increase over the 2020 revenue requirement authorized in the 2018 GRC as updated for anticipated post test-year ratemaking changes. The rebuttal testimony proposed post test-year increases in 2022 and 2023 of $434 million and $500 million respectively. SCE's request excludes the revenue requirement associated with the approximately $1.6 billion of AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures.
SCE expects a final decision on the application for the 2021 test year in the first quarter of 2021. If the final decision is received after January 1, 2021, SCE will request the CPUC to approve establishment of a memorandum account making the authorized revenue requirement changes effective January 1, 2021. SCE cannot predict the revenue requirement the CPUC will ultimately authorize or forecast the timing of a final decision.
The CPUC amended the proposed schedule for the proceeding in April 2020 by adding a fourth phase referred to as track 4, to address a third attrition year, 2024, introduced by a January 2020 decision of the CPUC in a separate proceeding. SCE is scheduled to submit its testimony for track 4 in May 2022. For more information on other tracks of the 2021 GRC see "—Wildfire Mitigation and Wildfire Insurance Expenses—2021 General Rate Case Wildfire Mitigation Memorandum Account Balances."
FERC Formula Rate
2019 FERC Formula Rate Settlement
In June 2020, SCE filed a settlement on its formula rates for the 2019 Formula Rate case ("2019 Formula Rate Settlement") that, if approved by the FERC, will establish SCE's FERC transmission revenue requirement for the 2019 FERC Settlement Period. SCE may seek to implement a new formula rate after the 2019 FERC Settlement Period. The settlement provides for a total ROE of 10.30% inclusive of CAISO and transmission incentive adders. The settlement also provides that SCE's capital
5





structure for purposes of its formula rate will reflect the higher of SCE's actual equity ratio or 47.50%. The transmission revenue requirement and rates that have been billed to customers prior to the implementation of the 2019 Formula Rate Settlement utilized a base ROE of 11.97%. SCE expects to true-up the excess amounts billed to customers through the operation of the Formula Rate in 2021 and 2022. SCE had been recognizing revenue based on the expected outcome of this settlement and the impact of recording the settlement was not material.
In December 2019, the CPUC filed a protest with the FERC alleging that $419 million of costs associated with SCE's Tehachapi Transmission Project are imprudent and should be disallowed from SCE's FERC rate base because these costs exceeded the maximum reasonable costs identified by the CPUC when it granted the project's certificate of public convenience and necessity. As part of the 2019 Formula Rate Settlement, the CPUC withdrew its protest effective as of July 27, 2020.
2021 FERC Formula Rate Annual Update
In July 2020, SCE provided its preliminary 2021 annual transmission revenue requirement update to interested parties. The update reflects an increase in SCE's transmission revenue requirement of $123 million or 12.8% higher than amounts included in the 2020 annual rates. The increase is primarily due to the impact of the 2019 FERC Formula Rate Settlement, which excluded certain refunds from the TO2018 settlement and growth in rate base. SCE expects to file its 2021 annual update with the FERC by December 1, 2020 with the proposed rates effective January 1, 2021.
Phase I Decision in Residential Rates OIR
In June 2020, the CPUC issued a finalproposed decision on the first phase of the ongoing proceeding Order Instituting Rulemaking to Consider New Approaches to Disconnections and Reconnections to Improve Energy Access and Contain Costs ("Residential Rates OIR"). This decision applies only to SCE's residential customers and requires the creation of an arrearage management program to forgive a portion of certain low income customers' past arrears as long as they remain current on monthly billing, prohibits use of establishment of credit or reestablishment of service deposits, and caps SCE's disconnection rate. SCE's disconnection rate will be capped at 8% in 2020 and willwhich, if implemented, among other things, would reduce by 1% each year until 2024.
The decision requires SCE to establish a two-way balancing account to reflect the actual costs of disconnections in customer rates and to establish a memorandum account to track the costs of implementing the decision.
Wildfire Mitigation and Wildfire Insurance Expenses
In response to the increase in wildfire activity, and faster progression of and increased damage from wildfires across SCE's service territory and throughout California, SCE is currently incurring wildfire mitigation and wildfire insurance related spending at levels significantly exceeding amountsfuture authorized in its 2018 GRC. Several regulatory mechanisms, including but not limited to the GS&RP memorandum account, the FHPMA, the WMP memorandum account and the WEMA, exist to allow SCE to track and seek recovery of these incremental costs. In accordance with the accounting standards applicable to rate-regulated enterprises, SCE defers costs as regulatory assets that are probable of future recovery from customers. For certain wildfire mitigation and wildfire insurance expenses SCE performs its assessment of future recovery after its year to date spending exceeds the amounts authorizedrevenue for the full calendar year under its current revenue requirement. As of June 30, 2020, SCE has recognized $549 million of regulatory assets related to incremental wildfire mitigation expenses, including depreciation expensevolumetric reductions in electricity sales resulting from $1.1 billion of total incremental capital expenditures, and $484 million of regulatory assets related to incremental wildfire insurance expenses in the WEMA. While SCE believes such costs are probable of future recovery, there is no assurance that SCE will collect all amounts currently deferred as regulatory assets. SCE has recorded a further $165 million of incremental wildfire mitigation expenses, including $1 million in the quarter ending June 30, 2020, that are subject to reasonableness reviews through the GS&RP and the 2021 GRC proceedings.
Grid Safety and Resiliency Program
In April 2020, the CPUC approved a settlement agreement between SCE and certain parties to SCE's GS&RP proceeding. Under the settlement, SCE is authorized to spend approximately $526 million ($407 million capital) in 2018 dollars between 2018 and 2020. SCE will include the authorized revenue requirement in rates and establish a balancing account to track the difference between actual GS&RP costs and amounts authorized. If spending is less than authorized, SCE will refund those amounts to customers. If spending is in excess of forecasted amounts, or in excess of 115% of forecasted amounts for certain activities, SCE will present those costs for reasonableness review in the 2021 GRC. Additionally, SCE's recovery of tree removal costs is capped at a specific average authorized unit cost and a total volume of trees.

PSPS events.





Through June 30, 2020, SCE has incurred $617 million of capital expenditures, of which $142 million will be subject to a reasonableness review, and $86 million of operations and maintenance expenses, all of which is within the amount authorized in the settlement agreement.
In July 2020, SCE applied for an irrevocable order from the CPUC to finance $337 million, comprised of AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures incurred in connection with GS&RP and prudently incurred financing costs, through the issuance of securitized bonds.
2021 General Rate Case Wildfire Mitigation Memorandum Account Balances 
For purposes of evaluating SCE's recovery of 2018 – 2020 wildfire mitigation costs, the CPUC has incorporated additional tracks into the 2021 GRC proceeding. Under the adopted schedule, most incremental wildfire mitigation costs from 2018 and 2019 are to be reviewed in track 2. In March 2020, SCE made its 2021 GRC track 2 filing with the CPUC for review and approval of $302 million of capital expenditures and $509 million of operation and maintenance expenses incremental to amounts authorizedWildfires in SCE's 2018 GRC and not associated with SCE's GS&RP application. The GRC track 2 expenditures predominantly related to enhanced overhead inspections, an expanded vegetation management program and expert consultant contract labor costs supporting SCE's wildfire mitigation activities. The majority of these expenditures are recorded in the WMP memorandum account and the FHPMA. The capital revenue requirement recorded in memorandum accounts mainly represents depreciation expense, taxes, and return. After flow through tax effects and excluding the revenue requirement associated with AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures, the GRC track 2 filing resulted in an additional requested revenue requirement of $500 million.
Incremental wildfire mitigation costs from 2020, and all GS&RP costs above settled amounts, are to be reviewed in track 3 of the 2021 GRC proceeding, which will be filed in March 2021.
The schedule for SCE's 2021 GRC includes proposed decisions on track 2 and track 3 in the first quarters of 2021 and 2022, respectively.
Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides
Multiple factors have contributed to increased wildfire activity, and faster progression of and increased damage from wildfires across SCE's service territory and throughout California. These include the buildup of dry vegetation in areas severely impacted by years of historic drought, lack of adequate clearing of hazardous fuels by responsible parties, higher temperatures, lower humidity, and strong Santa Ana winds. At the same time that wildfire risk has been increasing in Southern California, residential and commercial development has occurred and is occurring in some of the highest-risk areas. Such factors can increase the likelihood and extent of wildfires. SCE has determined that approximately 27% of its service territory is in areas identified as high fire risk.
Over the past several years, wind-driven wildfires impacted portions of SCE's service territory, with wildfires in December 2017 and November 2018 causingcaused loss of life, substantial damage to both residential and business properties, and service outages for SCE customers. Several wind-driven wildfires have originated in Southern California subsequent to 2018, however, SCE does not expect any of these fires to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events
The investigating government agencies, the VCFD and CAL FIRE, have determined that the largest of the 2017 fires originated on December 4, 2017, in the Anlauf Canyon area of Ventura County (the investigating agencies refer to this fire as the "Thomas Fire"), followed shortly thereafter by the Koenigstein Fire. While SCE continues to review the progression of these two fires, the December 4, 2017 fires eventually burned substantial acreage in both Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. The largest of the November 2018 fires, known as the Woolsey Fire, originated in Ventura County and burned acreage in both Ventura and Los Angeles Counties.
In March 2019, the VCFD and CAL FIRE jointly issued separate reports finding that the Thomas Fire and the Koenigstein Fire were each caused by SCE equipment. At this time, based on available information, SCE has not determined whether its equipment caused the Thomas Fire. Based on publicly available radar data showing a smoke plume in the Anlauf Canyon area emerging in advance of the start time of the Thomas Fire indicated in the Thomas Fire report, SCE believes that the Thomas Fire started at least 12 minutes prior to any issue involving SCE's system and at least 15 minutes prior to the start time indicated in the report. SCE has previously disclosed that SCE believed its equipment was associated with the ignition of the Koenigstein Fire. SCE is continuing to assess the progression of the Thomas and Koenigstein Fires and the extent of damages that may be attributable to each fire.

SCE has received a non-final redacted draft of a report from the VCFD subject to a protective order in the litigation related to the Woolsey fire and, other than the information disclosed in this Form 10-Q, is not authorized to release the report or its contents to the public at this time. The draft report states that the VCFD investigation team determined that electrical equipment owned and operated by SCE was the cause of the Woolsey Fire. Based on information received at hearings in the Woolsey Fire litigation, SCE anticipates that the VCFD will release its final report regarding the Woolsey Fire in the fourth quarter of 2020. Absent additional evidence, SCE believes that it is likely that its equipment was associated with the ignition of the Woolsey Fire.
Multiple lawsuits related to the Thomas and Koenigstein Fires and the Woolsey Fire have been initiated against SCE and Edison International. Some of the Thomas and Koenigstein Fires lawsuits claim that SCE and Edison International have responsibility for the damages caused by the Montecito Mudslides based on a theory alleging that SCE has responsibility for the Thomas and/or Koenigstein Fires and that the Thomas and/or Koenigstein Fires proximately caused the Montecito Mudslides.
SCE's internal review into the facts and circumstances of each of the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events is ongoing, and SCE expects to obtain and review additional information and materials in the possession of third parties during the course of its internal reviews and the litigation processes.Final determinations of liability for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, including determinations of whether SCE was negligent, would only be made during lengthy and complex litigation processes. Even when investigations are still pending or liability is disputed, an assessment of likely outcomes, including through future settlement of disputed claims, may require a liability to be accrued under accounting standards. Based on information available to SCE and consideration of the risks associated with litigation, Edison International and SCE expect to incur ahave incurred material losslosses in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events.
In

SCE's equipment has been, and may further be, alleged to be associated with several wildfires that have originated in Southern California subsequent to 2018. Edison International and SCE expect that any losses incurred in connection with those fires will be covered by insurance, subject to self-insured retentions and co-insurance, and expect that any such losses after insurance recoveries will not be material.

2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events

As discussed in the second quarter of 2020 SCE entered into settlements with an immaterial number of individual plaintiffs inForm 10-K, multiple lawsuits related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation under which it agreedhave been initiated against SCE and Edison International.

Through March 31, 2021, Edison International and SCE have recorded total pre-tax charges of $6.2 billion, expected recoveries from insurance of $2.0 billion and expected recoveries through FERC electric rates of $233 million related to pay an aggregate of approximately $16 million to those individual plaintiffs. SCE continues to explore settlement opportunities with other plaintiffs in the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation.

At both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Edison International's and SCE's balance sheets include accrued liabilities of $4.5 billion for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. The accrued liability correspondsafter-tax net charges to the lower endearnings recorded through March 31, 2021 have been $2.9 billion.

As of the reasonably estimated range of expected losses that mayMarch 31, 2021, SCE had paid $2.4 billion under executed settlements and had $1.8 billion to be incurred in connection withpaid under executed settlements related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide EventsEvents. As of the same date, SCE had recovered $1.3 billion through insurance and is subject$142 million through FERC-jurisdictional electric rates.

After giving effect to change as additional information becomes available. Each reporting period, management reviews its loss estimatesall settlements entered into through March 31, 2021, Edison International and SCE's best estimate of expected losses for remaining alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events was $2.0 billion. The remaining estimated losses for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events do not include an estimate of any potential fines or penalties that could be levied against SCE in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide

Events. The processEdison International and SCE are currently unable to reasonably estimate the magnitude of any such fines or penalties, or the associated timing if they were to be imposed. Estimated losses for estimating losses associated with wildfirethe 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation claims requires management to exercise significant judgmentare based on a number of assumptions and subjective factors, including, but not limited to: estimates of known and expected claims by third partiesare subject to change as additional information becomes available. Actual losses incurred may be higher or lower than estimated based on currently available information, opinionsseveral factors, including: the uncertainty as to the legal and factual determinations to be made during litigation, including uncertainty as to the contributing causes of counsel regardingthe 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, the complexities associated with fires that merge, whether inverse condemnation will be held applicable to SCE with respect to damages caused by the Montecito Mudslides, uncertainties related to the litigation risk,processes, the status ofuncertainty in estimating damages that may be alleged, and developments in the course of litigation, and prior experience litigating and settling wildfire litigation claims.

Edison International and uncertainty as to how these factors impact future settlements.

SCE will seek to offset anyCPUC-jurisdictional rate recovery of prudently-incurred, actual losses realized in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events with recoveries from insurance policies in place at the timeexcess of the events and, to the extent actual losses exceed insurance, through electric rates. As of June 30, 2020, Edison International and SCE have remaining expected recoveries from insurance of $1.6 billion and through FERC electric rates of $77 million on their consolidated balance sheets related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events.available insurance. SCE believes that, in light of the CPUC's decision in a cost recovery proceeding involving SDG&E arising from several 2007 wildfires in SDG&E's service area, there is substantial uncertainty regarding how the CPUC will interpret and apply its prudency standard to an investor-owned utility in future wildfire cost-recovery proceedings for fires ignited prior to July 12, 2019. Accordingly, while the CPUC has not made a determination regarding SCE's prudency relative to any of the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, SCE is unable to conclude, at this time, that uninsured CPUC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs are probable of recovery through electric rates.

Edison International and SCE continue to pursue regulatory and legal strategies, and anticipate pursuing legislative strategies in the longer term, to address the application of a strict liability standard to wildfire-related property damages without the guaranteed ability to recover resulting costs in electric rates.

Current Wildfire Insurance Coverage

SCE has approximately $1.0 billion of wildfire-specific insurance coverage for events that may occur during the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, subject to $50 million of self-insured retention and up to $80 million of co-insurance, and $50 million of self-insured retention, which results in net coverage of approximately $870 million. Various coverage limitations within the policies that make up SCE's wildfire insurance coverage could result in additional material self-insured costs, for instance in the event of multiple wildfire occurrences during a policy period or with a single wildfire with damages in excess of the policy limits.period. SCE believes that its insurance coverage

1054. SCE is in the process of procuring wildfire-specific insurance coverage for the period that will begin on July 1, 2021.

2019 Wildfire Legislation

In July 2019, AB 1054 was signed by the governor of California and became effective immediately. The summary of the wildfire legislation in this report is based on SCE'sSCE’s interpretation of the legislation and is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read together with, AB 1054 and companion Assembly Bill 111.

AB 1054 Prudency Standard

Under AB 1054, the CPUC must apply a new standard when assessing the prudency of a utility in connection with a request for recovery of wildfire costs for wildfires ignited after July 12, 2019. Utilities with a valid safety certification will be presumed to have acted prudently related to a wildfire ignition unless a party in the cost recovery proceeding creates serious doubt as to the reasonableness of the utility's conduct, at which time, the burden shifts back to the utility to prove its conduct was prudent. If a utility does not have a valid safety certification, it will have the burden to prove, based on a preponderance of evidence, that its conduct was prudent.

Wildfire Insurance Fund

AB 1054 also provided for the Wildfire Insurance Fund to reimburse utilitiesa utility for payment of certain third-party damage claims arising from certain wildfires that exceed, in aggregate in a calendar year, the greater of $1.0 billion or the utility's insurance coverage. The Wildfire Insurance Fund was established in September 2019 and is available for claims relatedcoverage required to wildfires ignited after July 12, 2019 that are determined bybe maintained under AB 1054. Through March 31, 2021, the responsible government investigatory agency to have been caused by a utility.

participating investor-owned utilities, PG&E, SCE and SDG&E, have collectively made their initial contributions totalingcontributed approximately $2.7$8.1 billion to the Wildfire Insurance Fund in September 2019. Upon its emergenceand have not sought reimbursement from bankruptcy, on July 1, 2020, PG&E made its initial contribution of approximately $4.8 billion to the Wildfire Insurance Fund. PG&E, SCE and SDG&E are also collectively expected to make aggregate contributions of approximately $3.0 billion to the Wildfire Insurance Fund through annual contributions to the fund over a 10-year period, of which they have made their initial annual contributions totaling approximately $300 million. In addition to PG&E's, SCE's and SDG&E's contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund, PG&E, SCE and SDG&E are expected to collect $6.1 billion, $6.1 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, from their customers over a 15-year period through a dedicated rate component. The amount collected from customers may be directly contributed to the Wildfire Insurance Fund or used to support the issuance of up to $10.5 billion in bonds by the California Department of Water Resources, the proceeds of which would be contributed to the fund. In addition to funding contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund, the amount collected from utility customers will pay for, among other things, any interest and financing costs related to any bonds that are issued by the California Department of Water Resources to support the contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund.
SCE made an initial contribution of approximately $2.4 billion to the Wildfire Insurance Fund in September 2019 and has committed to make ten annual contributions of approximately $95 million per year to the fund, by no later than January 1 of each year. SCE made its first annual contribution to the Wildfire Insurance Fund in December 2019. Edison International supported SCE's initial contribution to the Wildfire Insurance Fund by raising $1.2 billionwildfire claims from the issuance of Edison International equity. SCE raised the remaining $1.2 billion from the issuance of long-term debt. SCE's contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund will not be recoverable through electric rates and will be excluded from the measurement of SCE's CPUC-jurisdictional authorized capital structure. SCE will also not be entitled to cost recovery for any borrowing costs incurred in connection with its contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund.
fund.

Participating investor-owned utilities will be reimbursed from the Wildfire Insurance Fund for eligible claims, subject to the fund administrator's review. Utilities participating in the Wildfire Insurance Fund are not required to reimburse the fund for amounts withdrawn from the fund that the CPUC finds were prudently incurred and can recover such prudently incurred wildfire costs through electric rates if the fund has been exhausted. SCE will reimburse the fund for any withdrawn amounts if SCE receives payment of such amounts under an indemnification agreement or from an insurance

provider or other third-party. SCE will also be required to reimburse the fund for withdrawn amounts that the CPUC disallows subject in some instances, to the AB 1054 Liability Cap. A utility will not be eligible for the AB 1054 Liability Cap if it does not maintain a valid safety certification or its actions or inactions that resulted in the wildfire are found to constitute conscious or willful disregard of the rights and safety of others. Based on SCE's 2020forecasted weighted-average 2021 transmission and distribution rate base, excluding general plant and intangibles, and using the equity portion of SCE's CPUC authorized capital structure of 52%, SCE's requirement to reimburse the Wildfire Insurance Fund for eligible claims disallowed in 20202021 would be capped at approximately $3.0$3.2 billion. SCE will not be allowed to recover borrowing costs incurred to reimburse the fund for amounts that the CPUC disallows. The Wildfire Insurance Fund and, consequently, the AB 1054 Liability Cap, will terminate when the administrator determines that the fund has been exhausted.

AB 1054 Prudency Standard
As a result of the establishment of the Wildfire Insurance Fund, AB 1054 created a new standard that the CPUC must apply when assessing the prudency of a utility in connection with a request for recovery of wildfire costs for wildfires ignited after July 12, 2019. Under AB 1054, the CPUC is required to find a utility to be prudent if the utility's conduct related to the ignition was consistent with actions that a reasonable utility would have undertaken under similar circumstances, at the relevant point in time, and based on the information available at that time. Utilities with a valid safety certification will be presumed to have acted prudently related to a wildfire ignition unless a party in the cost recovery proceeding creates serious doubt as to the reasonableness of the utility's conduct, at which time, the burden shifts back to the utility to prove its conduct

was reasonable. If a utility does not have a valid safety certification, it will have the burden to prove, based on a preponderance of evidence, that its conduct was prudent. The new prudency standard will survive the termination of the Wildfire Insurance Fund.
Utilities participating in the Wildfire Insurance Fund are not required to reimburse the fund for amounts withdrawn from the fund that the CPUC finds were prudently incurred and can recover such prudently incurred wildfire costs through electric rates if the fund has been exhausted.

Safety Certification and Wildfire Mitigation Plan

Under AB 1054, SCE can obtain an annual safety certification upon the submission of certain required safety information, including an approved wildfire mitigation plan.WMP. On July 25, 2019,September 17, 2020, SCE obtained its initiala safety certification that iswill be valid for 12 months. Notwithstanding its 12-month term, if SCE requests a new safety certification prior to the expiration of its initialcurrent safety certification, then its initialcurrent safety certification will remain valid until the CPUCWSD acts on itsSCE's request for a new safety certification.

SCE submittedfiled its request for a new safety certification2020 – 2022 WMP in JuneFebruary 2020.

In June 2020, the CPUC ratified the WSDWSD's conditional approval of SCE's 2020 – 2022 WMP. The approval is conditioned on SCE providing requested information to the WSD, including additional descriptions of how SCE is implementing, and will implement, certain requirements imposed by the WSD. The CPUC's ratification of the WSD's conditional approval of SCE'sSCE filed updates to its 2020 – 2022 WMP satisfies the AB 1054 requirement that SCE must have an approved WMPin February 2021 to, receive a safety certification.
among other things, report on implementation of its plan in 2020 and describe new and ongoing wildfire mitigation activities.

Capital Expenditure Requirement

Under AB 1054, approximately $1.6 billion of spending by SCE on wildfire risk mitigation capital expenditures made after August 1, 2019, cannot be included in the equity portion of SCE's rate base. SCE can apply for irrevocable orders from the CPUC to finance these AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures, including through the issuance of securitized bonds, and can recover any prudently incurred financing costs. In JulyNovember 2020, SCE applied forthe CPUC issued an irrevocable order from the CPUCpermitting SCE to finance $337approximately $340 million, comprised of AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures incurred in connection with GS&RP and prudently incurred financing costs, through the issuance of securitized bonds. As of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, SCE has spent $811 million onapproximately $1.5 billion in AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures. SCE issued securitized bonds in the amount of $338 million in February 2021 and expects to seek additional irrevocable orders from the CPUC to finance the remaining AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures.

See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Regulatory Proceedings—Financing Order" for further details.

CSRP

In April 2021, SCE implemented a new customer service system, which replaced a majority of SCE’s customer systems. The project is referred to as the Customer Service Re-Platform (CSRP). SCE has tracked the cost of the CSRP system implementation in a previously approved memorandum account and "Legal Proceedings."will seek CPUC recovery of the CSRP implementation costs in a future application anticipated to be filed with the CPUC in 2021. Total forecasted expenditures for the CSRP project are approximately $540 million in capital and $90 million in operations and maintenance from inception through 2021. If approved, the project is expected to increase SCE’s rate base by approximately $500 million by 2023.

COVID-19

As discussed in the 2020 Form 10-K, the COVID-19 pandemic is having a significant impact on global society and economies. As a result of the pandemic, Edison International and SCE have experienced increased costs, but the pandemic has not had a pervasive impact on SCE's or Edison International's ability to operate their business.

As a result of the pandemic and increased estimates of uncollectible expenses, largely related to the economic impacts of the pandemic on SCE’s customers, SCE has recognized $231 million of incremental costs as of March 31, 2021, of which $87 million has been deferred to memorandum accounts for future CPUC reasonableness review and $144 million has been transferred to balancing accounts pending recovery. In addition to the increases in expected uncollectible accounts, SCE has incurred incremental costs associated with sequestering certain SCE employees at essential work locations and coordination of SCE's response to the emergency.

In April 2021, the CPUC issued a decision to adopt a COVID-19 disconnection moratorium for medium-large commercial and industrial electric customers and established a memorandum account to track, and seek recovery of, the resulting costs.

SCE expects to securitize $112 million of incremental residential uncollectible expenses associated with the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, subject to approval of a financing order by the CPUC. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Regulatory Proceedings—Financing Order" for further details.

For further information see "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities" in this filing and "Management Overview—COVID-19" and "Risk Factors" in the 2020 MD&A.

2021 General Rate Case

The 2021 GRC consists of four separate tracks. Track 1 is similar to previous GRCs and addresses revenue requirements for the three-year period of 20212023. Tracks 2 and 3 address the reasonableness of 20182019 and 2020 wildfire mitigation costs that were incremental to amounts authorized in the 2018 GRC, respectively. In January 2020, a CPUC decision introduced a third attrition year in current and future GRCs. As a result, track 4 will address the revenue requirement for 2024. SCE is scheduled to submit its testimony for track 4 in May 2022.

As discussed in the 2020 Form 10-K, in the 2021 GRC, SCE has requested a test year revenue requirement of $7.6 billion, an approximately $1.3 billion increase over the 2020 revenue requirement authorized in the 2018 GRC as updated for post test-year ratemaking changes. SCE’s request proposes post test-year increases in 2022 and 2023 of $452 million and $524 million, respectively. SCE’s request excludes the revenue requirement associated with the approximately $1.6 billion of AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures. The CPUC has approved the establishment of a memorandum account making the authorized revenue requirement changes effective January 1, 2021. SCE cannot predict the revenue requirement the CPUC will ultimately authorize or forecast the timing of a final decision. SCE is recognizing revenue based on the 2020 authorized revenue requirement until a GRC decision is issued.

For more information on tracks 2 and 3 of the 2021 GRC, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Regulatory Proceedings—Wildfire Related Regulatory Proceedings—2021 General Rate Case Wildfire Mitigation Memorandum Account Balances."

Wildfire Mitigation, Wildfire Insurance and Restoration Expenses

As discussed in the 2020 Form 10-K, in response to the increase in wildfire activity, and faster progression of and increased damage from wildfires across SCE's service territory and throughout California, SCE is currently incurring wildfire mitigation, wildfire insurance and wildfire and drought restoration related spending at levels significantly exceeding amounts authorized in its 2018 GRC.

As of March 31, 2021, SCE has recognized $901 million of regulatory assets related to incremental wildfire mitigation expenses, including depreciation expense from $1.8 billion of total incremental wildfire mitigation capital expenditures. The regulatory assets include $401 million of operations and maintenance expense approved for recovery in the GRC track 2 proceeding. SCE expects to securitize this amount, subject to approval of a financing order by the CPUC. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Regulatory Proceedings—Financing Order" for further details. In the event these costs are not authorized for securitization, SCE will include the costs in customer rates as soon as practicable.

8

Additionally, SCE has recognized $397 million of regulatory assets associated with drought and wildfire restoration and $241 million of regulatory assets related to incremental wildfire insurance expenses. While SCE believes such costs are probable of future recovery, there is no assurance that SCE will collect all amounts currently deferred as regulatory assets.

In January 2021, the CPUC approved recovery of certain incremental wildfire mitigation expenses through track 2 of the 2021 GRC. In February 2021, the AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures incurred in connection with GS&RP and prudently incurred financing costs previously deferred to memorandum accounts were recovered through securitization.

For additional information, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Regulatory Proceedings—Wildfire Related Regulatory Proceedings."

Capital Program

Total capital expenditures (including accruals) were $2.3$1.1 billion and $2.0$1.0 billion for the first sixthree months ofended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively. SCE forecasts capital expenditures

As discussed in the range2020 MD&A, in the absence of $19.4 billiona 2021 GRC decision, SCE has developed, and is executing against, a 2021 capital expenditure plan that will allow SCE to $21.2 billion for 2020 – 2023, which includes SCE's revised capital request reflectedmeet what is ultimately authorized in the 2021 GRC rebuttal testimony. SCE forecasts weighted average annual rate basedecision while minimizing the associated risk of $33.5 billion for 2020. unauthorized spending.

The 20202021 actual capital spending may be affected by changes in regulatory, environmental and engineering design requirements, permitting and project delays, cost and availability of labor, equipment and materials and other factors. SCE has taken steps to minimize outages for customers subject to stay-at-home orders. SCE has assessed the impact of this and the broader potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its ability to execute the 2020 capital program and expects to execute the capital program substantially as planned.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SCE

SCE's

SCE’s results of operations are derived mainly through two sources:

Earning activities – representing revenue authorized by the CPUC and FERC, which is intended to provide SCE a reasonable opportunity to recover its costs and earn a return on its net investment in generation, transmission and distribution assets. The annual revenue requirements are comprised of authorized operation and maintenance costs, depreciation, taxes and a return consistent with the capital structure. Also, included in earnings activities are revenue or penalties related to incentive mechanisms, other operating revenue, and regulatory charges or disallowances.
Cost-recovery activities – representing CPUC- and FERC- authorized balancing accounts, which allow for recovery of specific project or program costs, subject to reasonableness review or compliance with upfront standards. Cost-recovery activities include rates which provide recovery, subject to reasonableness review of, among other things, fuel costs, purchased power costs, public purpose related-program costs (including energy efficiency and demand-side management programs) and certain operation and maintenance expenses. SCE earns no return on these activities.
Impact of 2018 GRC
In May 2019, the CPUC approved a decision in SCE's 2018 GRC. The revenue requirements in the 2018 GRC decision were retroactive to January 1, 2018. SCE recorded the prior period impact of the 2018 GRC decision in the second quarter of 2019 including an increase to earnings of $131 million from the application of the decision to revenue, depreciation expense and income tax expense, of which $65 million was attributable to 2018 and $66 million was attributable to first quarter of 2019 and an impairment of utility property, plant and equipment of $170 million ($123 million after-tax) related to disallowed historical capital expenditures.

Earning Activities

Earning activities were primarily affected by the following:

Higher operating revenue of $26 million primarily due to the following:
An increase in CPUC-related revenue of $11 million primarily due to higher rate base earning a return through balancing accounts and higher operating costs subject to balancing account treatment.
An increase in FERC-related revenue and other operating revenue of $15 million primarily due to FERC rate base growth.
Lower operation and maintenance costs of $96 million primarily due to the following:
Lower expenses of $36 million related to wildfire-mitigation costs including inspections and preventive maintenance.
Lower employee benefit expenses of $20 million from short-term incentive compensation.
Decreased other expenses of $40 million primarily due to lower customer uncollectible expenses, worker's compensation costs and environmental remediation. The impact on utility earnings activities from residential uncollectible accounts decreased as the CPUC authorized cost recovery for those amounts through the Residential Uncollectible Balancing Account ("RUBA").
Lower Wildfire Insurance Fund expense of $31 million due to the change in the estimated life of the Wildfire Insurance Fund which increased the amortization period of SCE contributions in 2021. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingences" for further information.
Higher depreciation and amortization expense of $41 million primarily due to increased plant balances in 2021.
Higher operating revenue of $238 million primarily due to the following:

10

An increase in CPUC revenue of approximately $194 million primarily due to the 2018 GRC's escalation mechanism and the reduction to revenue in the second quarter of 2019 due to recording the 2018 and first quarter 2019 impacts of the 2018 GRC decision.
An increase in FERC-related revenue of $35 million primarily due to higher operating costs subject to balancing account treatment.
Higher operation and maintenance costs of $150 million primarily due to the following:
The $32 million reduction to expenses primarily from the 2018 and first quarter 2019 impact of adopting the 2018 GRC's change in capitalization rates, recorded in the second quarter of 2019.
Increased expenses of $26 million due to the timing of regulatory deferrals related to wildfire-mitigation costs, including inspections, preventive maintenance and vegetation management costs.
Increased expenses of $17 million due to the timing of labor and other expenses resulting from SCE’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and $8 million from the timing of customer uncollectibles expense primarily as a result of the pandemic. For work activities impacted by the pandemic that were included in the 2018 GRC revenue request, and customer uncollectibles expense, SCE performs its assessment of future recovery after its year to date spending exceeds the amounts authorized for the full calendar year.
Higher legal costs of $16 million primarily related to litigation activity.
Increased expenses of $29 million subject to balancing account treatment.
Increased other costs of $22 million including expenses from higher employee benefits and environmental remediation costs.
Higher wildfire insurance fund expense of $83 million for amortization of contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund for insurance protection. See "Management Overview—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides" for further information.
Higher depreciation and amortization expense of $169 million primarily due to the 2018 and first quarter 2019 impact of a change in depreciation rates and the impact of disallowed historical capital expenditures from the adoption of the 2018 GRC decision, recorded in the second quarter of 2019, and increased plant balances in 2020.
Lower impairment and other of $222 million primarily due to an impairment of $170 million in 2019 related to the disallowed historical capital expenditures recorded as a result of the 2018 GRC decision discussed above and a gain of $52 million in 2020 related to the sale of San Onofre nuclear fuel. As a result of the January 2018 Revised San Onofre Order Instituting Investigation ("OII") Settlement Agreement among OII Parties, the proceeds from the sale of nuclear fuel will not be returned to customers.
Higher other income of $16 million primarily due to higher life insurance benefits.
Lower income tax benefit of $94 million primarily due to the 2018 and first quarter 2019 tax benefit, recorded in 2019 as a result of the adoption of the 2018 GRC decision.
Higher property and other taxes of $14 million primarily due to higher property assessed values in 2021.
Lower interest expense of $10 million primarily due to lower interest rate on balancing accounts, partially offset by increased borrowings.
Higher other income of $15 million primarily due to higher AFUDC equity income.
Lower income tax benefit of $51 million primarily due to higher pre-tax income and a tax benefit in 2020 from the re-measurement of uncertain tax positions.

Cost-Recovery Activities

Cost-recovery activities were primarily affected by the following:

Higher purchased power and fuel costs of $87 million primarily due to higher power and gas prices from extreme winter weather in February 2021, partially offset by higher congestion revenue right credits and the CAISO generation surcharge of $59 million incurred in 2020.
Higher operation and maintenance costs of $64 million due to the CAISO transmission refund received in 2020 for $66 million related to the surcharge mentioned above and the authorization to recover uncollectible costs through the RUBA, partially offset by lower transmission access charges.
Lower purchased power and fuel costs of $67 million primarily due to contract amendments.
Higher operation and maintenance costs of $20 million driven by higher employee-related expenses subject to balancing accounts and higher transmission access charges, partially offset by lower spending on customer service programs.
Higher other income of $10 million primarily driven by higher net periodic benefit income related to the non-service cost components for SCE's other post-retirement benefit plans. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 9. Compensation and Benefit Plans" for further information.

Earning Activities
Earning activities were primarily affected by the following:
Higher operating revenue of $429 million primarily due to the following:
An increase in CPUC revenue of approximately $360 million primarily due to the 2018 GRC decision's escalation mechanism and the reduction to revenue in the second quarter of 2019 due to recording the 2018 impact of the 2018 GRC decision.
An increase in FERC-related revenue of $58 million primarily due to favorable earnings from a higher proportion of equity in SCE's actual capital structure used in setting FERC rates, higher FERC rate base and higher operating costs subject to balancing account treatment.
Higher operation and maintenance costs of $278 million primarily due to:
Increased expenses of $84 million due to timing of regulatory deferrals for wildfire-mitigation costs including preventative maintenance and vegetation management. Vegetation management costs were higher in 2020 due to higher prevailing wages required by California Senate Bill 247 and increased scope of work.
Increased expenses of $17 million due to the timing of labor and other expenses resulting from SCE’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and $19 million from the timing of customer uncollectibles expense primarily as a result of the pandemic. For work activities impacted by the pandemic that were included in the 2018 GRC revenue request, and customer uncollectibles expense, SCE performs its assessment of future recovery after its year to date spending exceeds the amounts authorized for the full calendar year.
Higher employee benefit expenses of $31 million resulting primarily from the payout of 2019 short-term incentive compensation and other employee benefit programs.
14






The $25 million reduction to expenses primarily from the 2018 impact of adopting the 2018 GRC's change in capitalization rates, recorded in the second quarter of 2019.
Higher wildfire insurance expenses of $20 million due to the authorization to recover certain 2018 wildfire insurance expenses reducing expenses in 2019.
Higher legal costs of $21 million primarily related to litigation activity.
Increased expenses of $34 million subject to balancing account treatment.
Other increased expenses of $27 million including environmental remediation costs and higher workers' compensation costs.

Higher wildfire insurance fund expense of $167 million for amortization of contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund for insurance protection. See "Management Overview—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides" for further information.
Higher depreciation and amortization expense of $172 million primarily due to the 2018 impact of a change in depreciation rates and the impact of disallowed historical capital expenditures from the adoption of the 2018 GRC decision, recorded in the second quarter of 2019, and increased plant balances in 2020.
Lower impairment and other of $218 million primarily due to an impairment of $170 million related to the disallowed historical capital expenditures as a result of 2018 GRC decision in 2019, discussed above, and a gain of $48 million related to the sale of San Onofre nuclear fuel in 2020. As noted above, the gain on the sale of nuclear fuel will not be returned to customers.
Higher interest expense of $22 million primarily due to increased borrowings, partially offset by lower interest rates.
Higher other income of $20 million primarily due to higher life insurance benefits.
Lower income tax benefit of $124 million primarily due to the 2018 tax benefit of $80 million recorded in 2019 as a result of the 2018 GRC decision and a $69 million tax benefit recorded in 2019 related to changes in the allocation of deferred tax re-measurement between customers and shareholders, partially offset by $18 million income tax benefit recorded in 2020 due to the re-measurement of uncertain tax positions related to the 2010 – 2012 California state tax filings currently under audit.
Cost-Recovery Activities
Cost-recovery activities were primarily affected by the following:
Lower purchased power and fuel costs of $146 million driven by lower power and gas prices and contract amendments. In addition, CAISO issued invoices that revised FERC tariffs for interest costs associated with scheduling coordinator activities resulting in a generation surcharge of $59 million reflected as an additional purchased power expense and a transmission refund of $66 million as a reduction in operation and maintenance expense.
Lower operation and maintenance costs of $118 million driven by the authorization to recover 2018 wildfire insurance costs that had been deferred as regulatory assets increasing expenses in 2019, the CAISO refund of $66 million mentioned above and lower spending in customer service programs, partially offset by higher transmission access charges and employee-related expenses subject to balancing accounts.
Higher other income of $20 million primarily driven by higher net periodic benefit income related to the non-service cost components for SCE's other post-retirement benefit plans. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 9. Compensation and Benefit Plans" for further information.

Supplemental Operating Revenue Information

SCE's

SCE’s retail billed and unbilled revenue (excluding wholesale sales) was $2.7 billion and $2.6$2.5 billion for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019 respectively, and $5.3 billion and $5.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 respectively.

The increase for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 compared to the same periods in 20192020 is primarily due to higher CPUC revenue due to the adoption of the 2018 GRC decision, partially offset by lower cost-recovery activities related to lower purchased power and fuel costs driven by contract amendments. In addition, the six months ended June 30, 2020 includes lower purchased power and fuel costs driven by lowerhigher power and gas prices. See "—Earnings Activities" and "—Cost-Recovery Activities" for further details.

As a result of the CPUC-authorized decoupling mechanism, SCE earnings are not affected by changes in retail electricity sales.

Income Taxes

SCE's

SCE’s income tax benefit decreased by $94 million and $124$51 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2019.

The effective tax rates were (8.0)% and (28.9)(43.1)% for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively. SCE'sSCE’s effective tax rate is below the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to CPUC'sCPUC’s ratemaking treatment for the current tax benefit arising from certain property-related and other temporary differences, which reverse over time. The accounting treatment for these temporary differences results in recording regulatory assets and liabilities for amounts that would otherwise be recorded to deferred income tax expense. The effective tax rate increase for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily due to the absence of a tax benefit recorded in 2019 from the adoption of the 2018 GRC final decision. The effective tax rate increase for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily due to the absence of tax benefit from the adoption of the 2018 GRC final decision and the absence of the 2019 changes in the allocation of deferred tax re-measurement between customers and shareholders that resulted from a CPUC resolution, partially offset by tax benefits from re-measurement of uncertain tax positions related to the 2010 – 2012 California state tax filings currently under audit.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

SCE

SCE's

SCE’s ability to operate its business, fund capital expenditures, and implement its business strategy is dependent upon its cash flow and access to the bank and capital markets. SCE'sSCE’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 preferred and preference shareholders, and the outcome of tax, regulatory orand legal matters.

The COVID-19 pandemic may cause narrower access to, or further increased costs of accessing, bank and capital markets. As a precaution, in March and April 2020, SCE brought forward debt issuances that had been planned for later in the year to provide additional financing flexibility given possible future market uncertainty. For further details, see "Management Overview—COVID-19" and "—Available Liquidity."

In the next 12 months, SCE expects to fund its cash requirements through operating cash flows, capital market financings, and equity contributions from Edison International Parent, as needed. SCE also has availability under its credit facilities to fund cash requirements.

In addition, in the second quarter of 2021, SCE expectsplans to file an application with the CPUC to finance up to $1.0 billion through the approximately $1.6 billionissuance of securitized bonds. For further details, see "—Regulatory Proceedings—Financing Order."

In April 2021, SCE issued $400 million of floating rate first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2023, $400 million of floating rate first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2024, $350 million of first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2023 and $700 million of first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2024. Floating rate bonds will pay interest at a floating rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a spread. For further details, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements." The proceeds of these issuances were used to fund the payment of wildfire claims exceeding insurance proceeds, including amounts paid under the Woolsey Subrogation Settlement.

In February 2021, SCE Recovery Funding LLC, a bankruptcy remote, wholly owned special purpose subsidiary of SCE, issued $338 million of Senior Secured Recovery Bonds Series 2021-A ("Recovery Bonds") in three tranches, of $138 million, $100 million and $100 million with final maturities in 2033, 2040 and 2045, respectively, and used the proceeds of the Recovery Bonds to acquire SCE's right to collect charges associated with the AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures by issuing securitized bonds.from certain existing and future SCE customers ("Recovery Property"). SCE used the proceeds it received from the sale of the Recovery Property to reimburse itself for previously incurred AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures, including the retirement of related debt and financing costs. For further information,details, see "Management Overview—Southern California Wildfires"Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 3.

In January 2021, SCE issued $150 million and $750 million first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2030 and 2051, respectively. For further details, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements." PriorThe proceeds were primarily used to repay SCE's commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes.

In February 2021, Edison International made a $325 million equity contribution to SCE. In March 2021, Edison International made a $575 million equity contribution to SCE from the proceeds of an issuance of preferred stock.

Edison International is issuing securities with equity content as viewed by rating agencies, such bonds, otheras common or preferred stock, in 2021, to enable SCE to issue debt, instruments are being usedincluding the debt SCE issued in April 2021 and debt to temporarily finance payments for future resolution of wildfire claims related to the expenditures, including a term loan of $475 million2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, while allowing Edison International and a 364-day revolving credit facility for $800 million entered into during the first quarter of 2020.

SCE's long-term issuer credit ratings remain atSCE to maintain investment grade levels after downgrade actions taken by the major credit agenciesratings. Edison International expects to issue further securities with up to approximately $375 million of equity content for investment in the first quarter of 2019. SCE's rating outlook has remained stable after the passage of AB 1054 and the establishment of the Wildfire Insurance Fund, which provided the Liability Cap and the new standard that the CPUC must apply when assessing the prudency of a utility.SCE in 2021.

SCE’s credit ratings may be further 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 depleted by claims from catastrophic wildfires. The broad economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic may also affect SCE'sSCE’s credit rating.ratings. For further information see "Management Overview—COVID-19" in this report and "Risk Factors."Factors" in the 2020 Form 10-K. 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'sSCE’s power procurement contracts require SCE to pay related liabilities or post additional collateral if SCE'sSCE’s credit rating were to fall below investment grade from the major credit rating agencies.grade. Incremental collateral requirements for power procurement contracts resultingand environmental remediation obligations would result from a potential downgrade of SCE'sSCE’s credit rating to below investment grade are $66 million as of June 30, 2020. In addition, if SCE's credit rating falls below investment grade, it may 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 the downgrade occurs. Furthermore, if SCE was downgraded below investment grade, counterparties may also institute new collateral requirements for future transactions.grade. For further details, see "—Margin and Collateral Deposits."

The cost of capital mechanism set by the CPUC could impact SCE's results of operations and cash flows. The benchmark value for the current mechanism is the 12-month, October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019, average Moody’s Baa utility bond yield of 4.5%. If the difference between the benchmark and the average of the same index for the 12-month period to September 30, 2021 exceeds 100-basis points, SCE's CPUC-authorized ROE will be adjusted for 2022 by half the amount of the difference (up or down). If the mechanism is triggered, SCE's costs of long-term debt and preferred equity will also be adjusted for 2022 to reflect the then current embedded costs and projected interest rates. The average Moody's Baa utility bond yield between October 1, 2020 and April 20, 2021 was 3.33%. The spot rate for Moody’s Baa utility bond was 3.53% on April 20, 2021 and an average Moody’s Baa utility bond yield of 3.69% or less from April 21, 2021 through September 30, 2021 will trigger the mechanism. SCE is required to file its next cost of capital application by April 2022 for rates effective beginning January 2023. For further information see "Business—SCE— Overview of Ratemaking Process" in the 2020 Form 10-K.

In the second quarter of 2020, SCE entered into a 364-day revolving credit facility for $1.5 billion. The credit facility is available for borrowing needs until May 2021. At June 30, 2020, there were no borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility is available for general corporate purposes, including to support liquidity needs that may arise as a result of undercollections due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related consumer protection measures that SCE has put in place.
In the first quarter of 2020, SCE issued a total of $1.7 billion of first and refunding mortgage bonds. The proceeds were used to repay SCE's commercial paper borrowings and repurchase tax-exempt pollution control bonds that were subject to mandatory redemption. SCE continues to hold the tax-exempt pollution control bonds and plans to re-market them subject to market conditions. In the second quarter of 2020, SCE issued $600 million of first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2025. The proceeds were used to finance undercollections of revenues SCE is authorized to recover from customers through regulatory balancing accounts. 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. As necessary, SCE will utilize its available liquidity, capital market financings, other borrowings or parent company contributions to SCE equity in order to meet its obligations as they become due, including any potential costs related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events.

2021 General Rate Case Wildfire Mitigation Memorandum Account Balances

SCE's GRC track 2 expenditures, which occurred during 2018 and 2019, predominantly related to enhanced overhead inspections, an expanded vegetation management program and expert consultant contract labor costs supporting SCE's wildfire mitigation activities. The majority of these expenditures were recorded in the WMP memorandum account and the FHPMA.

In October 2018,January 2021, the CPUC issued an environmental report that identifiedapproved a new route alternative, as the environmentally preferred project and proposed an additional underground sectionsettlement between parties to track 2 of the proposed 220-kV power line. 2021 GRC, which led to a $41 million increase to regulatory deferrals for 2018 – 2019 in the fourth quarter of 2020. The revenue requirement under the settlement was $391 million, after adjusting for flow through taxes. Due to the determination that the AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures associated with track 2 were reasonably incurred, they were eligible for recovery through securitization, and were not part of the settlement revenue requirement. For information on securitization of the approved expense, see "—Financing Order."

In March 2020,2021, SCE made its 2021 GRC track 3 filing with the alternative project with revised scopeCPUC. In its filing, SCE requested reasonableness review of approximately $1.2 billion of wildfire mitigation costs incurred prior to 2021, consisting of $476 million of incremental operations and an updated costmaintenance expense and $679 million of $584incremental capital expenditures. The track 3 expenditures predominantly related to grid hardening, vegetation management, PSPS activities and enhancements to grid operations.

Eldorado-Lugo-Mohave Upgrade
In April 2019, as directedbe reviewed by the CPUC SCE filed an amended application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity with the CPUC, which included total project costs of $257 million. A subsequent change to the project work scope reduced the project total cost to $246 million. No proposed decision has been issued by CPUC as of June 30, 2020. Due to delays in the CPUC's approval process, the scheduled in-service date of the project has been adjusted from 2021 to 2022.
SCE Dividends
CPUC holding company rules require that SCE's dividend policy be established by SCE's Board of Directors on the same basis as if SCE were a stand-alone utility company, and that the capital requirements of SCE, as deemed to be necessary to meet SCE's electricity service obligations, shall receive first priority from the Boards of Directors of both Edison International and SCE. In addition, the CPUC regulates SCE's capital structure which limits the dividends it may pay to its shareholders.

Effective January 1, 2020, the common equity component of SCE's CPUC authorized capital structure was increased from 48% to 52% on a weighted average basis over the January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022 compliance period ("the Capital Structure Compliance Period").

For further information, see "Management Overview—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."
In May 2020, the CPUC issued a decision on SCE's application to the CPUC for waiver of compliance with its equity ratio requirement, that allows SCE to exclude from its equity ratio calculations (i) net charges accrued in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events and (ii) debt issued for the purpose of paying claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events up to an amount equal to the net charges accrued in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. The temporary exclusion will lapse on May 7, 2022 or when a determination regarding cost recovery for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events is made, whichever comes earlier. If the CPUC has not made a determination regarding cost recovery by May 7, 2022, SCE is permitted to file another application for a waiver of compliance with its equity ratio requirement. In the interim, SCE is required to notify the CPUC if an adverse financial event reduces SCE's spot equity ratio by more than one percent from the level most recently filed with the CPUC in the proceeding. The last spot equity ratiosecond quarter of 2022 to securitize these expenses if such expenses are deemed reasonable by the CPUC. In its track 3 filing, SCE filed withrequested recovery through customer rates of the $497 million of incremental operations and maintenance expenses and other costs.

2020 Emergency Wildfire Restoration

Multiple wildfires occurred during 2020 which caused damage within SCE's service territory and to SCE's Big Creek hydroelectric facility. Restoration work is ongoing in relation to these wildfires. In 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, SCE recorded $235 million of incremental operation and maintenance expenses and $410 million of capital expenditures in relation to these restoration efforts. SCE expects to file CEMA requests for recovery of amounts incremental to authorized revenue requirements beginning in 2021.

Financing order

SCE plans on applying for an irrevocable order from the CPUC in the proceeding did not excludesecond quarter of 2021 to finance up to $1.0 billion of costs through the $1.8 billion net charge and was 45.2% issuance of securitized bonds, as of December 31, 2018 (atwell as the time the common equity component of SCE's CPUC authorized capital structure was required to remain at or above 48% on a weighted average basis over the applicable 37-month period). SCE’s spot equity ratio on December 31, 2018 would have been 48.7% had the $1.8 billion net charge been excluded, therefore SCE will notify the CPUC if its spot ratio drops below 47.7% in any quarter. For further information, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."

SCE monitors its compliancefinancing costs associated with the CPUC’s equity ratio requirement based onsecuritized bond. These costs consist of approximately $518 million of AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures, comprised of $219 million approved in the weighted average2021 GRC track 2 settlement and $299 million to be incurred in 2021 and pending authorization in track 1 of the common equity componentGRC, $401 million of SCE’s CPUC authorized capital structure overwildfire-related operations and maintenance expenditures approved in the Capital Structure Compliance Period using its actual capital structure fromGRC track 2 settlement, and $112 million of incremental residential uncollectible expenses associated with the beginningeconomic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

new project construction on federal land. In February 2021, the California General Corporation Law. California law requires that for a dividend to be declared: (a) retained earnings must equal or exceed the proposed dividend, or (b) immediately after the dividend is made, the valueDepartment of the corporation's assets must exceed the value of its liabilities plus amounts required to be paid, if any, in order to liquidate stock senior to the shares receiving the dividend. Additionally,Interior issued a California corporation may not declare a dividend if it is, or as a resultwaiver of the dividend would be, likelysuspension order allowing the project to be unable to meet its liabilities as they mature. Prior to declaring dividends, SCE's Board of Directors evaluates available information, including when applicable, information pertaining to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, to ensure that the California law requirements for the declarations are met. On June 24, 2020, SCE declared a dividend to Edison International of $269 million.

The timing and amount of future dividends are also dependent on a number of other factors including SCE's requirements to fund other obligations and capital expenditures, its ability to access the capital markets, and generate operating cash flows and earnings. If SCE incurs significant costs related to catastrophic wildfires, including the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, and is unable to recover such costs through insurance, the Wildfire Insurance Fund (for fires after July 12, 2019), or from customers or is unable to access capital markets on reasonable terms, SCE may be limited in its ability to pay future dividends to Edison International and its preferred and preference shareholders.

Margin and Collateral Deposits

Certain derivative instruments, power and energy procurement contracts and other contractual arrangements contain collateral requirements. In addition, certain environmental remediation obligations require financial assurance that may be in the form of collateral postings. Future collateral requirements may differ from the requirements at June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 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'sSCE’s contractual obligations and the impact of SCE'sSCE’s credit ratings falling below investment grade.

Decommissioning of San Onofre
Due to the emergency circumstances involving the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental orders restricting non-essential work activities, SCE has decided to delay commencing major decommissioning activities at San Onofre. SCE will assess the appropriate timing for commencing major decommissioning activities based in part on when governmental restrictions are relaxed. As of the date of this report, SCE is continuing fuel transfer operations and other critical work at San Onofre.
In March 2020, the CPUC approved disbursements from SCE's nuclear decommissioning trusts to cover forecasted 2020 decommissioning costs, of which SCE's share is $406 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities was impacted by the following:

Net income and non-cash items increased in 20202021 by $171$80 million primarily due to higher CPUC-related revenue duelower expenses related to the escalation mechanism as set forth in the 2018 GRC decision, partially offset by higher operationwildfire mitigation activities and maintenance expense primarily from higher vegetation management expenses.

employee benefits.

Net cash outflow for working capital was $120$138 million and $235$107 million during the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively. Net cash outflow for working capital reduced from 2019 to 2020in 2021 is primarily due to insurance premium paymentsa net increase in unbilled revenue and customer receivables of $90$108 million and $431decrease in payables of $115 million for wildfire-related coverage. Net cash outflow in 2020 and 2019, respectively.was primarily due to timing of disbursements of $226 million, partially offset by a change in receivables from customers of $70 million. Net cash outflow for working capital in both periods was impacted by increases in receivables from customers including increases in accrued unbilled revenueinsurance premium payments of $245$16 million and $149$72 million for wildfire-related coverage in 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively. Net cash outflow for working capital in 2019 was partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $170 million.

Net cash used in regulatory assets and liabilities, including changesincreases in net undercollections of balancing accounts was $927$70 million and $543$372 million during the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively. SCE has a number of balancing and memorandum accounts, which impact cash flows based on differences between timing of collection of amounts through rates and accrual expenditures. Cash flows were primarily impacted by the following:

2021

Net undercollections of BRRBA were $662 million and $622 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Net undercollections increased by $40 million primarily due to current year undercollections due to lower sales volume partially offset by recovery of prior year undercollections, including WEMA and GS&RP to be collected over a two-year and one-year period, respectively, starting October 2020.
2020

18

Net undercollections of BRRBA were $239 million at June 30, 2020, compared to net overcollections of $328 million at December 31, 2019. Net undercollections increased by $567 million primarily due to refunds of prior overcollections (including incremental tax benefits and overcollections of distribution revenue that are being refunded over an 18-month period, starting in July 2019, as part of SCE's 2018 GRC decision) and current year undercollections primarily due to a delay in rate change in 2020 and lower than forecasted sales volume.
Undercollections of $311 million related to wildfire-related expenses that are probable of future recovery from customers, including wildfire risk mitigation costs, insurance premiums, service restoration and damage repair costs. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities" for further information.
Lower cash due to issuance of California climate credits of $314 million to customers. The second semi-annual payment normally made in the fourth quarter was brought forward into the second quarter of 2020 pursuant to an April 2020 CPUC decision, partially offset by $232 million of overcollections related to GHG auction revenue and low carbon fuel standard credit sales.
22


Undercollections of $38 million related to wildfire-related expenses that are probable of future recovery from customers, including wildfire risk mitigation costs, insurance premiums, service restoration and damage repair costs. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities" for further information.
Undercollections of $36 million related to service restoration and damage repair costs that were tracked in CEMA accounts, primarily due to wildfire events incurred in 2018, 2019 and 2020. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities" for further information.
Net undercollections for ERRA, PABA and the New System Generation Balancing Account decreased by $100 million primarily due to recovery of prior PABA and NSGBA undercollections, overcollection due to higher than expected load, partially offset by undercollections due to higher open market exposure and higher gas and power price driven by extreme winter conditions in large part of the United States in February 2021.
Net undercollections of $40 million from COVID-19-related memorandum and balancing accounts.

2020

Net undercollections of BRRBA were $101 million at March 31, 2020, compared to net overcollections of $328 million at December 31, 2019. Net undercollections increased by $429 million primarily due to refunds of prior overcollections (including incremental tax benefits and overcollections of distribution revenue that are being refunded over an 18-month period, starting in July 2019, as part of SCE's 2018 GRC final decision) and current year undercollections due to lower than forecasted sales volumes.
Additional undercollections of $79 million related to wildfire-related expenses that are probable of future recovery from customers, including wildfire risk mitigation costs, insurance premiums, service restoration and damage repair costs.
Higher cash due to $110 million of overcollections related to the timing of receiving GHG auction revenue and low carbon fuel standard credit sales, and the related refunds and rebates to eligible customers. SCE is accelerating the semi-annual payment of California climate credits to customers, normally made in the fourth quarter, into the second quarter of 2020 pursuant to an April 2020 CPUC decision.
Net undercollections for ERRA, PABA and the New System Generation Balancing Account decreased by $45 million primarily due to recovery of prior ERRA undercollections, partially offset by lower sales than forecasted in rates in ERRA, refunds of prior overcollections from the New System Generation Balancing Account and refund of 2019 and 2018 overcollections of generation revenue over an 18-month period, starting in July 2019, as part of SCE's 2018 GRC final decision.


Net undercollections of FERC balancing accounts were $32 million at June 30, 2020, compared to net overcollections of $127 million at December 31, 2019. Net undercollections increased by $159 million primarily due to refunds of prior overcollections, lower than forecasted sales volumes and higher operation and maintenance costs mainly due to vegetation management and overhead line maintenance.
Net undercollections for ERRA, PABA and the New System Generation Balancing Account decreased by $178 million primarily due to recovery of prior ERRA undercollections, current year overcollection resulting from lower gas and energy prices, partially offset by lower sales than forecasted in rates in ERRA, refunds of prior overcollections from the New System Generation Balancing Account and refund of 2019 and 2018 overcollections of generation revenue over an 18-month period, starting in July 2019, as part of SCE's 2018 GRC decision.
2019
BRRBA overcollections decreased by $166 million primarily due to an authorization to recover $107 million of premiums related to a wildfire insurance policy purchased in 2017, lower sales than forecasted in rates and refunds of prior overcollections (including incremental tax benefits), partially offset by distribution revenue previously collected from customers in 2019 and 2018 that will be refunded as part of SCE's 2018 GRC decision.
The portfolio allocation balancing account was established in May 2019 to determine and pro-ratably recover from responsible bundled service and departing load customers the "above-market" costs of all generation resources that are eligible for cost recovery. Net undercollections for ERRA, the portfolio allocation balancing account and the new system generation program were $698 million and $741 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Net undercollections decreased $43 million primarily due to an increase in cash due to recovery of prior ERRA undercollections and generation revenue previously collected from customers in 2019 and 2018 that will be refunded as part of SCE's 2018 GRC decision, partially offset by lower sales than forecasted in rates, higher than forecasted power and gas prices experienced in 2019, and charges from CPUC-authorized contract terminations.
Undercollections of $97 million related to fire risk mitigation costs in excess of the amounts authorized in the revenue requirement.
Decrease in overcollections of approximately $360 million due to the elimination of the regulatory liability that was established to record adjustments associated with the delay in the 2018 GRC decision. In May 2019, the CPUC approved the decision in SCE's 2018 GRC, resulting in a reduction to revenue that will be refunded to customers, as discussed in BRRBA and the portfolio allocation balancing account above.

Cash flows (used in) provided by (used in) other noncurrent assets and liabilities were primarily related to wildfire claim payments of $(620) million, partially offset by insurance recoveries of $43 million in the first quarter of 2021 and $58 million of wildfire related insurance recoveries in 2020, respectively. Cash flow for other noncurrent assets and liabilities also includes payments of decommissioning costs ($61 million in 2021 and $43 million in 2020, respectively), partially offset by SCE’s net earnings from nuclear decommissioning trust investments ($4923 million in 2021 and $27 million in 2020, and $37 million in 2019, respectively) and SCE's payments of decommissioning costs ($98 million in both 2020 and 2019).

Contingencies

SCE has contingencies related to wildfire and mudslidedebris flow events, wildfire insurance, environmental remediation, nuclear insurance, spent nuclear fuel and the Tehachapi Transmission Project,Upstream Lighting Program, which are discussed in "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies."

MARKET RISK EXPOSURES

Edison International'sInternational’s and SCE'sSCE’s primary market risks are described in the 20192020 Form 10-K. For a further discussion of market risk exposures, including commodity price risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements" and "—Note 6. Derivative Instruments."

Commodity Price Risk

SCE records derivative instruments on its consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value unless otherwise exempted from derivative treatment as normal purchases or sales. The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments used to mitigate exposure to commodity price risk was reflected as a net asset of $1$99 million and $86$108 million on SCE'sSCE’s consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. For further discussion of fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements" and "— Note 6. Derivative Instruments."

21

Credit Risk

Credit risk exposure from counterparties for power and gas trading activities is measured as the sum of net accounts receivable (accounts receivable less accounts payable) and the current fair value of net derivative assets (derivative assets less derivative liabilities) reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. SCE enters into master agreements which typically provide for a right of setoff. Accordingly, SCE'sSCE’s credit risk exposure from counterparties is based on a net exposure under these arrangements. SCE manages the credit risk on the portfolio of counterparties based on credit ratings and other publicly disclosed information, such as financial statements, regulatory filings and press releases, to guide it in the process of setting credit levels, risk limits and contractual arrangements, including master netting agreements. Based on SCE'sSCE’s policies and risk exposures related to credit, SCE does not anticipate a material adverse effect on their financial statements as a result of counterparty nonperformance. At June 30, 2020, SCE'sMarch 31, 2021, SCE’s power and gas trading counterparty credit risk exposure was $34$96 million, which is associated with entities that have an investment grade rating of A or higher. SCE assigns a credit rating to counterparties based on the lower of a counterparty'scounterparty’s S&P or Moody'sMoody’s rating. At June 30, 2020 the majority of SCE's power and gas trading counterparty credit risk exposure was to CAISO market participants. The broad economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are still emerging and may increase credit risk across CAISO market participants, as of June 30, 2020, no impacts had been noted.

For more information related to credit risks, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 6. Derivative Instruments."

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

The allowance for uncollectible accounts is recorded based on SCE'sSCE’s estimate of expected credit losses and adjusted over the life of the receivables as needed. Since the customer base of SCE is concentrated in Southern California and exposes SCE to a homogeneous set of economic conditions, the allowance is measured on a collective basis on the historical amounts written-off, assessment of customer collectibility and current economic trends, including unemployment rates and any likelihood of recession for the region. At June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, this included the estimated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Revenue Recognition

Regulatory Proceedings

2018

2021 General Rate Case

In May 2019, the CPUC approved2021 GRC, SCE has requested a decision in SCE's 2018 GRC.

Thetest year revenue requirementsrequirement of $7.6 billion, an approximately $1.3 billion increase over the 2020 revenue requirement authorized in the 2018 GRC final decision were retroactive to January 1, 2018. SCE recordedas updated for post test-year ratemaking changes.

The CPUC has approved the prior period impactestablishment of the 2018 GRC decision in the second quarter of 2019, including:

An increase to earnings of $131 million from the application of the decision to revenue, depreciation expense and income tax expense, of which $65 million was attributable to 2018 and $66 million was attributable to first quarter of 2019. Depreciation expense decreased as a result of lower authorized depreciation rates. An increase inmemorandum account making the authorized revenue requirement for income tax expenses offsets income tax expenses recognized during 2018 andchanges effective January 1, 2021. SCE cannot predict the first quarter of 2019. The reduction of revenue of $265 million reflects $289 million of lower authorized revenue related to 2018 and $24 million of higher authorized revenue in 2019.
An impairment of utility property, plant and equipment of $170 million ($123 million after-tax) related to disallowed historical capital expenditures, primarily the write-off of specific pole replacementsrequirement the CPUC determined were performed prematurely.

2019 FERC Formula Rate
In June 2020,will ultimately authorize or forecast the timing of a final decision. SCE filed a settlement on its formula rates for the 2019 Formula Rate case ("2019 Formula Rate Settlement") that will establish SCE's FERC transmission revenue requirement for the settlement period. If approved by the FERC, the settlement period will extend through at least December 31, 2021, at which time SCE may seek to implement a new formula rate. The settlement provides for a total ROE of 10.30% inclusive of CAISO and transmission incentive adders. The settlement also provides that SCE’s capital structure for purposes of its formula rate will reflect the higher of SCE's actual equity ratio or 47.50%. The transmission revenue requirement and rates that have been billed to customers prior to the implementation of the 2019 Formula Rate Settlement utilized a base ROE of 11.97%. SCE expects to true-up the excess amounts billed to customers through the operation of the Formula Rate in 2021 and 2022. SCE had beenis recognizing revenue based on the expected outcome of this settlement and the impact of recording the settlement was not material.
2020 authorized revenue requirement until a GRC decision is issued.

Earnings Per Share

Edison International computes earnings per common share ("EPS") using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security.

New Accounting Guidance

Accounting Guidance Adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update to require the use of the current expected credit loss model to measure impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other receivables, and the use of an allowance to record estimated credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities. Edison International and SCE adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020 using the prospective adoption approach to available-for-sale debt securities and the modified retrospective approach to all other financial assets. Edison International and SCE hold available-for-sale debt securities in nuclear decommissioning trusts and due to regulatory mechanisms, investment earnings and realized gains and losses have no impact on earnings. Unrealized gains and losses on decommissioning trust funds, including impairments, increase or decrease the trust assets and the related regulatory asset or liability and have no impact on electric utility revenue or decommissioning expense. Upon adoption of this guidance, SCE reviews each fixed income security for impairment on the last day of each month. If the fair value on the last day of the month is less than the amortized cost for that security, SCE impairs the disclosed amortized cost. See Note 10 for further information. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on Edison International's and SCE's other financial assets including receivables.

In August 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which aligns the requirement for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing costs incurred to develop or obtain internal use software. The guidance also clarified presentation requirements for reporting implementation costs in the financial statements. Edison International and SCE adopted the standard on January 1, 2020 using the prospective adoption approach. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on Edison International's and SCE's financial position or result of operations.

In March 2020, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to provide optional expedientssimplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and exceptionsequity. The amendments in this update affect entities that issue convertible instruments indexed to or potentially settled in an entity’s own equity. This guidance also simplifies an entity’s application of the derivatives scope exception for applying GAAP to contracts hedging relationships,in its own equity and other transactions that reference London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued becauseamends certain aspects of reference rate reform.the EPS guidance. Edison International and SCE have adopted thethis standard as of April 1, 2020 prospectively. SCE generally does not use hedge accounting for derivative transactions. SCE has a term loan with a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. In addition, both Edison International and SCE have revolving credit facilities with a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. These agreements contain provisions that require an amendment if LIBOR can no longer be used. SCE also has certain preference stocks, for which the distributions will be payable at a floating rate referenced to LIBOR from 2022. As of June 30, 2020, both Edison International and SCE have not utilized any of the expedients therefore there is no impact on adoption of the guidance, however, if contract amendments are made where LIBOR is no longer valid, both Edison International and SCE expect to utilize the expedients through the allowed period of December 31, 2022.
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In August 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to remove, modify and add certain disclosure requirements related to employer-sponsored defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The guidance is effective January 1, 2021 with earlyusing modified retrospective adoption permitted.approach. The guidance removes disclosure requirements that are no longer considered cost beneficial, clarifies certain specific disclosure requirements and adds disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The modifications affect annual period disclosures and must be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. Edison International and SCE are currently evaluating the impact of the guidance and do not expect the adoption of this standard will materially affect disclosures.did not have a material impact on Edison International’s and SCE’s financial position or results of operations.

Note 3.Variable Interest Entities

A VIEvariable interest entity ("VIE") is defined as a legal entity that meets one of two conditions: (1) the equity owners do not have sufficient equity at risk, or (2) the holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lack any of the following three characteristics: decision-making rights, the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity. The primary beneficiary is identified as the variable interest holder that has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity'sentity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE. Commercial and operating activities are generally the factors that most significantly impact the economic performance of such VIEs. Commercial and operating activities include construction, operation and maintenance, fuel procurement, dispatch and compliance with regulatory and contractual requirements.

Variable Interest in VIEs that are Consolidated

SCE Recovery Funding LLC is a bankruptcy remote, wholly owned special purpose subsidiary, consolidated by SCE. SCE Recovery Funding LLC is a VIE and SCE is the primary beneficiary. SCE Recovery Funding LLC was formed in

37

2021 for the purpose of issuing and servicing securitized bonds related to SCE’s AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures.

In February 2021, SCE Recovery Funding LLC issued $338 million of securitized bond in three tranches and used the proceeds to acquire SCE’s right, title and interest in and to non-bypassable rates and other charges to be collected from certain existing and future customers in SCE’s service territory, associated with the AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures ("Recovery Property"), until the bonds are paid in full and all financing costs have been recovered. The securitized bond is secured by the Recovery Property and cash collections from the non-bypassable rates and other charges are the sole source of funds to satisfy the debt obligation. The bondholders have no recourse to SCE. For further details, see Note 5.

The following table summarizes the impact of SCE Recovery Funding LLC on SCE’s and Edison Internationals’ consolidated balance sheets.

Variable Interest in VIEs that are not Consolidated

Power Purchase Agreements

("PPAs")

SCE has PPAs that are classified as variable interests in VIEs, including tolling agreements through which SCE provides the natural gas to fuel the plants contracts with qualifying facilities and combined heat and power facilities that contain variable pricing provisions based on the price of natural gas and fixed price contracts for renewable energy. SCE has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs since it does not control the commercial and operating activities of these entities. Since payments for capacity are the primary source of income, the most significant economic activity for these VIEs is the operation and maintenance of the power plants.

As of the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in SCE'sSCE’s consolidated balance sheetsheets that relate to involvement with VIEs result from amounts due under the PPAs. Under these contracts, SCE recovers the costs incurred through demonstration of compliance with its CPUC-approved long-term power procurement plans. SCE has no residual interest in the entities and has not provided or guaranteed any debt or equity support, liquidity arrangements, performance guarantees, or other commitments associated with these contracts other than the purchase commitments described in Note 12 of the 20192020 Form 10-K. As a result, there is no significant potential exposure to loss to SCE from its variable interest in these VIEs. The aggregate contracted capacity dedicated to SCE from these VIE projects was 6,5833,916 megawatts ("MW") and 4,8744,996 MW at June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively, and the amounts that SCE paid to these projects were $150$159 million and $122$151 million for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively, and $301 million and $275 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These amounts are recoverable in customer rates, subject to reasonableness review.

Unconsolidated Trusts of SCE

SCE Trust II, Trust III, Trust IV, Trust V, and Trust VI were formed in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017, respectively, for the exclusive purpose of issuing the 5.10%, 5.75%, 5.375%, 5.45%, and 5.00% trust preference securities, respectively ("trust securities"). The trusts are VIEs. SCE has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as it does not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the trusts. SCE Trust II, Trust III, Trust IV, Trust V and Trust VI issued trust securities to the public trust securities in the face amounts of $400 million, $275 million, $325 million, $300 million, and $475 million (cumulative, liquidation amounts of $25 per share), respectively, and $10,000 of common stock each to SCE. The trusts invested the proceeds of these trust securities in Series G, Series H, Series J, Series K, and Series L Preference Stock issued by SCE in the principal

38

amounts of $400 million, $275 million, $325 million, $300 million, and $475 million (cumulative, $2,500 per share liquidation values), respectively, which have substantially the same payment terms as the respective trust securities.

The Series G, Series H, Series J, Series K, and Series L Preference Stock and the corresponding trust securities do not have a maturity date. Upon any redemption of any shares of the Series G, Series H, Series J, Series K, or Series L Preference Stock, a corresponding dollar amount of trust securities will be redeemed by the applicable trust. The applicable trust will make distributions at the same rate and on the same dates on the applicable series of trust securities if and when the SCE Boardboard of Directorsdirectors declares and makes dividend payments on the related Preference Stock. The applicable trust will use any dividends it receives on the related Preference Stock to make its corresponding distributions on the applicable series of trust securities. If SCE does not make a dividend payment to any of these trusts, SCE would be prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock. SCE has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the payment of the trust securities and trust distributions, if and when SCE pays dividends on the related Preference Stock.

Note 4.Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (referred to as an "exit price"). Fair value of an asset or liability considers assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about nonperformance risk. As of June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, nonperformance risk was not material for Edison International and SCE.

Assets and liabilities are categorized into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on valuation inputs used to determine fair value.

Level 1 – The fair value of Edison International'sInternational’s and SCE'sSCE’s Level 1 assets and liabilities is determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are available at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities. This level includes exchange-traded equity securities, U.S. treasury securities, mutual funds, and money market funds.

Level 2 – Edison International'sInternational’s and SCE'sSCE’s Level 2 assets and liabilities include fixed income securities, primarily consisting of U.S. government and agency bonds, municipal bonds and corporate bonds, and over-the-counter derivatives. The fair value of fixed income securities is determined using a market approach by obtaining quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument.

The fair value of SCE'sSCE’s over-the-counter derivative contracts is determined using an income approach. SCE uses standard pricing models to determine the net present value of estimated future cash flows. Inputs to the pricing models include forward published or posted clearing prices from an exchange (Intercontinental Exchange) for similar instruments and discount rates. A primary price source that best represents trade activity for each market is used to develop observable forward market prices in determining the fair value of these positions. Broker quotes, prices from

39

exchanges, or comparison to executed trades are used to validate and corroborate the primary price source. These price quotations reflect mid-market prices (average of bid and ask) and are obtained from sources believed to provide the most liquid market for the commodity.


46





Level 3 – The fair value of SCE'sSCE’s Level 3 assets and liabilities is determined using an income approach through various models and techniques that require significant unobservable inputs. This level includes derivative contracts that trade infrequently such as congestion revenue rights ("CRRs"). Edison International Parent and Other does not have any Level 3 assets and liabilities.

Assumptions are made in order to value derivative contracts in which observable inputs are not available. In circumstances where fair value cannot be verified with observable market transactions, it is possible that a different valuation model could produce a materially different estimate of fair value. Modeling methodologies, inputs, and techniques are reviewed and assessed as markets continue to develop and more pricing information becomes available and the fair value is adjusted when it is concluded that a change in inputs or techniques would result in a new valuation that better reflects the fair value of those derivative contracts. See Note 6 for a discussion of derivative instruments.

Nuclear Decommissioning Trusts

SCE's

SCE’s nuclear decommissioning trust investments include equity securities, U.S. treasury securities, and other fixed income securities. Equity and treasury securities are classified as Level 1 as fair value is determined by observable market prices in active or highly liquid and transparent markets. The remaining fixed income securities are classified as Level 2. The fair value of these financial instruments is based on evaluated prices that reflect significant observable market information such as reported trades, actual trade information of similar securities, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids, offers, and relevant credit information. There are no securities classified as Level 3 in the nuclear decommissioning trusts.

Note 5.Debt and Credit Agreements

Long-Term Debt

During the first quarter of 2020,

In January 2021, SCE issued $100 million of 2.85% first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2029, $500 million of 3.65% first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2050, $400$150 million of 2.25% first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2030 and $700$750 million of 3.65%2.95% first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2050.2051. The proceeds were primarily used to repay SCE's commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes.

Senior Secured Recovery Bonds

In February 2021, SCE Recovery Funding LLC issued $338 million of Senior Secured Recovery Bonds, Series 2021-A, in three tranches ("Recovery Bonds") and used the proceeds to acquire SCE's right, title and interest in and to non-bypassable rates and other charges associated with the AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures to be collected from certain existing and future customers in SCE's service territory ("Recovery Property"). The three tranches of Recovery Bonds consisted of: $138 million, 0.86% with final maturity in 2033; $100 million, 1.94% with final maturity in 2040; and $100 million, 2.51% with final maturity in 2045. The Recovery Bonds are payable only from and secured by the Recovery Property. SCE Recovery Funding LLC is consolidated by SCE for financial reporting purposes, however, the

42

Recovery Bonds do not constitute a debt or other legal obligation of, or interest in, SCE or any of its affiliates, except for SCE Recovery Funding LLC. SCE used the proceeds it received from the sale of Recovery Property to reimburse itself for previously incurred AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures, including the re-purchaseretirement of related debt and financing costs.

Note 6.Derivative Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are used to manage exposure to commodity price risk. These risks are managed in part by entering into forward commodity transactions, including options, swaps and futures. To mitigate credit risk from counterparties in the event of nonperformance, master netting agreements are used whenever possible and counterparties may be required to pledge collateral depending on the creditworthiness of each counterparty and the risk associated with the transaction.

Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risk represents the potential impact that can be caused by a change in the market value of a particular commodity. SCE'sSCE’s electricity price exposure arises from energy purchased from and sold to wholesale markets as a result of differences between SCE'sSCE’s load requirements and the amount of energy delivered from its generating facilities and PPAs. SCE'sSCE’s natural gas price exposure arises from natural gas purchased for the Mountainview power plant and peaker plants, QFQualifying Facilities contracts where pricing is based on a monthly natural gas index and PPAs in which SCE has agreed to provide the natural gas needed for generation, referred to as tolling arrangements.

Credit and Default Risk

Credit and default risk represent the potential impact that can be caused if a counterparty were to default on its contractual obligations and SCE would be exposed to spot markets for buying replacement power or selling excess power. In addition, SCE would be exposed to the risk of non-payment of accounts receivable, primarily related to the sales of excess power and realized gains on derivative instruments.

Certain power and gas contracts contain master netting agreements or similar agreements, which generally allow counterparties subject to the agreement to offset amounts when certain criteria are met, such as in the event of default. The objective of netting is to reduce credit exposure. Additionally, to reduce SCE'sSCE’s risk exposures counterparties may be required to pledge collateral depending on the creditworthiness of each counterparty and the risk associated with the transaction.

Certain power and gas contracts contain a provision that requires SCE to maintain an investment grade rating from each of the major credit rating agencies, referred to as a credit-risk-related contingent feature. If SCE'sSCE’s credit rating were to fall below investment grade, SCE may be required to post additional collateral to cover derivative liabilities and the related outstanding payables. The net fair value of all derivative liabilities with these credit-risk-related contingent features was $32 million andwere less than $1 million as of June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019, respectively,2020, for which SCE posted 0 collateral to its counterparties for its derivative liabilities and related outstanding payables atfor both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.periods. If the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered on June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, SCE would be required to post $32$7 million of collateral, all of which of $1 million is related to outstanding payables.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

SCE presents its derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis on its consolidated balance sheets when subject to master netting agreements or similar agreements. Derivative positions are also offset against margin and cash collateral deposits. In addition, SCE has provided collateral in the form of letters of credit. Collateral requirements can vary depending upon the level of unsecured credit extended by counterparties, changes in market prices relative to contractual commitments and other factors. See Note 4 for a discussion of fair value of derivative instruments. The following table summarizes the gross and net fair values of SCE'sSCE’s commodity derivative instruments:

Financial Statement Impact of Derivative Instruments

SCE recognizes realized gains and losses on derivative instruments as purchased power and fuel expense and expects that such gains or losses will be part of the purchased power costs recovered from customers. As a result, realized gains and losses do not affect earnings, but may temporarily affect cash flows. Due to expected future recovery from customers, unrealized gains and losses are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities and therefore also do not affect earnings. The remaining effects of derivative activities and related regulatory offsets are reported in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Note 7.Revenue
SCE's

SCE’s revenue is disaggregated by two revenue sources:

Earning activities – representing revenue authorized by the CPUC and FERC, which is intended to provide SCE a reasonable opportunity to recover its costs and earn a return on its net investment in generation, transmission and distribution assets. The annual revenue requirements are comprised of authorized operation and maintenance costs, depreciation, taxes and a return consistent with the capital structure. Also, included in earnings activities are revenue or penalties related to incentive mechanisms, other operating revenue, and regulatory charges or disallowances.
Cost-recovery activities – representing CPUC- and FERC- authorized balancing accounts, which allow for recovery of specific project or program costs, subject to reasonableness review or compliance with upfront standards. Cost-recovery activities include rates which provide recovery, subject to reasonableness review of, among other things, fuel costs, purchased power costs, public purpose related-program costs (including energy efficiency and demand-side management programs) and certain operation and maintenance expenses. SCE earns no return on these activities.

2  Relates to changes in the allocation of deferred tax re-measurement between customers and shareholders as a result of a CPUC resolution issued in February 2019. The resolution determined that customers are only entitled to excess deferred taxes which were included when setting rates, while other deferred tax re-measurement belongs to the shareholders.

The CPUC requires flow-through ratemaking treatment for the current tax benefit arising from certain property-related and other temporary differences which reverse over time. Flow-through items reduce current authorized revenue requirements in SCE'sSCE’s rate cases and result in a regulatory asset for recovery of deferred income taxes in future periods. The difference between the authorized amounts as determined in SCE'sSCE’s rate cases, adjusted for balancing and memorandum account activities, and the recorded flow-through items also result in increases or decreases in regulatory assets with a corresponding impact on the effective tax rate to the extent that recorded deferred amounts are expected to be recovered in future rates. For further information, see Note 11.

Tax Disputes

Tax years that remain open for examination by the IRS and the California Franchise Tax Board are 2016 – 20182019 and 20102013 – 2018,2019, respectively. Tax years 2007 – 2012 are currently subject to a settlement proceeding with the California Franchise Tax Board. Edison International does not expect to resolve these tax years within the next 12 months. Any impacts cannot be reasonably estimated until further progress is made.

The wildfire-related memorandum accounts regulatory assets represent wildfire-related costs that are probable of future recovery from customers, subject to a reasonableness review. The Fire Hazard Prevention Memorandum Account ("FHPMA") is used to track costs related to fire safety and to implement fire prevention corrective action measures in extreme and very high fire threat areas. A Catastrophic Event Memorandum Account ("CEMA") is used to track costs related to restoring service and damage repair, upon declaration of disasters by state or federal authorities. The Wildfire Expense Memorandum Account ("WEMA") is used to track incremental wildfire insurance costs and uninsured wildfire-related financing, legal and claims costs. During 2019, the CPUC approved a Wildfire Mitigation Plan memorandum account to track costs incurred to implement SCE's Wildfire Mitigation Plan that are not currently reflected in SCE's revenue requirements, a Grid Safety and Resiliency Program Memorandum Account ("GSRPMA") to track the costs of SCE's GS&RP that are incremental to costs approved for recovery in SCE's 2018 GRC and a fire risk mitigation memorandum account to track costs related to the reduction of fire risk that are incremental to the amount in SCE's any other revenue requirement.
2 In July 2020, the CPUC approved establishment of the COVID-19 Pandemic Protection Memorandum Account ("CPPMA"), to track incremental consumer protection costs for residential and small commercial customers. A CEMA is used to track other incremental COVID-19 costs, including costs of sequestering employees at essential work locations. Both memorandum accounts were effective beginning March 2020.

Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides

Wildfires in SCE's territory, including those where SCE's equipment may be alleged to be associated with the fire's ignition, have caused loss of life and substantial damage in recent years. Multiple factors have contributed to increased wildfire activity and faster progression of and increased damage from wildfires across SCE's service territory and throughoutin other areas of California. These include the buildup of dry vegetation in areas severely impacted by years of historic drought, lack of adequate clearing of hazardous fuels by responsible parties, higher temperatures, lower humidity, increased incidence of dry lightning, and strong Santa Ana winds. At the same time that wildfire risk has been increasing in Southern California, residential and commercial development has occurred and is occurring in some of the highest-risk areas. Such factors can increase the likelihood and extent of wildfires. SCE has determined that approximately 27% of its service territory is in areas identified as high fire risk.

Over

California has experienced unprecedented weather conditions in recent years and SCE's service territory remains susceptible to additional wildfire activity in 2021 and beyond. The worsening conditions across California increase the likelihood of wildfires, including those where SCE's equipment may be alleged to be associated with the fire's ignition. In response to worsening weather and fuel conditions and increased wildfire activity over the past several years, wind-drivenSCE has developed and is implementing its 2020 – 2022 Wildfire Mitigation Plan ("WMP") to reduce the risk of SCE equipment contributing to the ignition of wildfires. In addition, California has increased its investment in wildfire prevention and fire suppression capabilities.

In addition to the investments SCE is making through its WMP, SCE also uses its Public Safety Power Shutoffs ("PSPS") program to proactively de-energize power lines to mitigate the risk of catastrophic wildfires impacted portionsduring extreme weather events. SCE initiated PSPS 12 times in 2020 as part of SCE's service territory, with wildfires in December 2017 and November 2018 causing lossits wildfire mitigation efforts, impacting an aggregate of life, substantial damage to both residential and business properties, and service outages for SCE customers. The investigating government agencies,approximately 140,000 unique customers. In January 2021, the Ventura County Fire Department ("VCFD") and California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection ("CAL FIRE"), have determined that the largestPresident of the 2017 fires originatedCPUC sent SCE a letter expressing her concern regarding SCE's execution of PSPS in 2020 and notifying SCE that it must implement a PSPS action plan to reduce the impacts of PSPS on December 4, 2017,the customers and communities it serves. On a risk-informed basis, SCE is making efforts to reduce the frequency and impacts of PSPS in the Anlauf Canyon area of Ventura County (the investigating agencies refer2021 as compared to this fire as the "Thomas Fire"), followed shortly thereafter by a second fire2020, assuming that originated near Koenigstein Roadweather patterns in the City of Santa Paula (the "Koenigstein Fire"). While2021 are similar to those experienced in 2020. SCE continuesmay be subject to review the progression of these two fires, the December 4, 2017 fires eventually burned substantial acreagemandated changes to, or restrictions on, its operational PSPS practices, regulatory fines and penalties, claims for damages and reputational harm if SCE does not execute PSPS in both Venturacompliance with applicable rules and Santa Barbara Counties. According to CAL FIRE, the Thomas and Koenigstein Fires, collectively, burned over 280,000 acres, destroyedregulations or damaged an estimated 1,343 structures and resulted in 2 confirmed fatalities. The largest of the November 2018 fires, known as the "Woolsey Fire," originated in Ventura County and burned acreage in both Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. According to CAL FIRE, the Woolsey Fire burned almost 100,000 acres, destroyed an estimated 1,643 structures, damaged an estimated 364 structures and resulted in 3 confirmed fatalities. NaN additional fatalities have been associated with the Woolsey Fire.

As described below, multiple lawsuits related to the Thomas and Koenigstein Fires and the Woolsey Fire have been initiated against SCE and Edison International. Some of the Thomas and Koenigstein Fires lawsuits claim that SCE and Edison International have responsibility for the damages caused by mudslides and flooding in Montecito and surrounding areas in January 2018 (the "Montecito Mudslides") based on a theory allegingif it is determined that SCE has responsibilityplaced excessive or unreasonable reliance on PSPS. In April 2021 the CPUC issued a proposed decision which, if implemented, among other things, would reduce future authorized revenue for the Thomas and/or Koenigstein Firesvolumetric reductions in electricity sales resulting from future PSPS events.

Edison International and SCE have incurred material losses in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, which are described below. SCE's equipment has been, and may further be, alleged to be associated with several wildfires that the Thomas and/or Koenigstein Fires proximately caused the Montecito Mudslides. According to Santa Barbara County initial reports, the Montecito Mudslides destroyed an estimated 135 structures, damaged an estimated 324 structures, and resulted in 21 confirmed fatalities, with 2 additional fatalities presumed.

In 2019, several wind-driven wildfires, including the "Saddle Ridge Fire,"have originated in Southern California (the "2019 Fires"). Based on currently available information and without considering insurance recoveries, it is reasonably possible that SCE will incur a material loss in connection with the Saddle Ridge Fire, but the range of possible losses that could be incurred cannot be estimated at this time.subsequent to 2018. Edison International and SCE expect that any losses incurred in connection with those fires will be covered by insurance, subject to a self-insured retentionretentions and co-insurance, and expect that the amount of any such losslosses after insurance recoveries will not be material. After expected insurance recoveries, SCE does not expect any of the 2019 Fires to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. SCE has not recorded a charge for potential liabilities relating to the Saddle Ridge Fire because, based on currently available information, it has not determined that a loss is probable.

Liability Overview

The extent of liability for wildfire-related damages in actions against utilities depends on a number of factors, including whether the utility substantially caused or contributed to the damages and whether parties seeking recovery of damages will be required to show negligence in addition to causation. California courts have previously found utilities to be strictly liable for property damage along with associated interest and attorneys' fees, regardless of fault, by applying the theory of inverse condemnation when a utility's facilities were determined to be a substantial cause of a wildfire that caused the property damage. If inverse condemnation is held to be inapplicable to SCE in connection with a wildfire, SCE still could be held liable for property damages and associated interest if the property damages were found to have been proximately caused by SCE's negligence. If SCE were to be found negligent, SCE could also be held liable for,

52

among other things, fire suppression costs, business interruption losses, evacuation costs, clean-up costs, medical expenses, and personal injury/wrongful death claims. Additionally, SCE could potentially be subject to fines and penalties for alleged violations of CPUC rules and state laws in connection with the ignition of a wildfire.

Final determinations of liability for the Thomas Fire, the Koenigstein Fire, the Montecito Mudslides and the Woolsey Fire (each a "2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Event," and, collectively, the "2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events"),wildfire events, including determinations of whether SCE was negligent, would only be made during lengthy and complex litigation processes. Even when investigations are still pending or liability is disputed, an assessment of likely outcomes, including through future

59





settlement of disputed claims, may require a liabilityestimated losses to be accrued under accounting standards. Each reporting period, management reviews its loss estimates for remaining alleged and potential claims related to wildfire events. The process for estimating losses associated with alleged and potential wildfire related claims requires management to exercise significant judgment based on a number of assumptions and subjective factors, including, but not limited to: estimates of known and expected claims by third parties based on currently available information, opinions of counsel regarding litigation risk, the status of and developments in the course of litigation, and prior experience litigating and settling wildfire litigation claims. As additional information becomes available, management's estimates and assumptions regarding the causes and financial impact of wildfire events may change.

2019/2020 Wildfires

Several wildfires significantly impacted portions of SCE's service territory in 2019 and 2020 (the wildfires that originated in Southern California in 2019 and 2020 where SCE's equipment may be alleged to be associated with the fire's ignition are referred to collectively as the "2019/2020 Wildfires"). Edison International and SCE expect that any losses incurred in connection with the 2019/2020 Wildfires will be covered by insurance, subject to self-insured retentions and co-insurance, and expect that any such losses after insurance recoveries will not be material. As of March 31, 2021, Edison International and SCE had estimated losses (established at the lower end of the reasonably estimated range of expected losses) of $118 million, and expected recoveries from insurance of $75 million, reflected on their consolidated balance sheets related to the 2019/2020 Wildfires.

One of the 2019/2020 Wildfires, the "Saddle Ridge" Fire, originated in Los Angeles county in October 2019 and burned approximately 9,000 acres, destroyed an estimated 19 structures, damaged an estimated 88 structures, and resulted in injuries to 8 individuals and 1 fatality. An investigation into the cause of the Saddle Ridge Fire is being led by the Los Angeles Fire Department. Based on pending litigation and without considering insurance recoveries, it is reasonably possible that SCE will incur a material loss in connection with the Saddle Ridge Fire, but the range of possible losses that could be incurred cannot be estimated at this time. SCE has not accrued a charge for potential losses relating to the Saddle Ridge Fire.

Another of the 2019/2020 Wildfires, the "Bobcat Fire" was reported in the vicinity of Cogswell Dam in Los Angeles County, California in September 2020. The United States Forest Service ("USFS") has reported that the Bobcat Fire burned approximately 116,000 acres in Los Angeles County, destroyed an estimated 87 homes, 1 commercial property and 83 minor structures, damaged an estimated 28 homes and 19 minor structures, and resulted in injuries to 6 firefighters. In addition, the USFS has estimated suppression costs at $80 million. A camera in the vicinity of Cogswell Dam captured the initial stages of a fire with the first observed smoke approximately six minutes before an SCE circuit in the area experienced an anomaly (a relay). An investigation into the cause of the Bobcat Fire is being led by the USFS, and the USFS has taken a specific section of an SCE overhead conductor in the vicinity of Cogswell Dam into possession as part of its investigation. SCE understands that the USFS has also taken three tree branches in the area into possession. The SED is also conducting an investigation of the Bobcat Fire. SCE has accrued a charge for potential losses relating to the Bobcat Fire. The accrued charge corresponds to the lower end of the reasonably estimated range of expected losses that may be incurred in connection with the Bobcat Fire and is subject to change as additional information becomes available.

2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events

Wildfires in SCE's territory in December 2017 and November 2018 caused loss of life, substantial damage to both residential and business properties, and service outages for SCE customers. The investigating government agencies, the Ventura County Fire Department ("VCFD") and California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection ("CAL FIRE"), have determined that the largest of the 2017 fires in SCE's territory originated on December 4, 2017, in the Anlauf Canyon area of Ventura County (the investigating agencies refer to this fire as the "Thomas Fire"), followed shortly

53

thereafter by a second fire that originated near Koenigstein Road in the City of Santa Paula (the "Koenigstein Fire"). The December 4, 2017 fires eventually burned substantial acreage in both Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. According to CAL FIRE, the Thomas and Koenigstein Fires, collectively, burned over 280,000 acres, destroyed or damaged an estimated 1,343 structures and resulted in 2 confirmed fatalities. The largest of the November 2018 fires in SCE's territory, known as the "Woolsey Fire," originated in Ventura County and burned acreage in both Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. According to CAL FIRE, the Woolsey Fire burned almost 100,000 acres, destroyed an estimated 1,643 structures, damaged an estimated 364 structures and resulted in 3 confirmed fatalities. NaN additional fatalities have been associated with the Woolsey Fire. The Thomas Fire, the Koenigstein Fire, the Montecito Mudslides (defined below) and the Woolsey Fire are each referred to as a "2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Event," and, collectively, referred to as the "2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events."

As described below, multiple lawsuits related to the Thomas and Koenigstein Fires and the Woolsey Fire have been initiated against SCE and Edison International. Some of the Thomas and Koenigstein Fires lawsuits claim that SCE and Edison International have responsibility for the damages caused by debris flows and flooding in Montecito and surrounding areas in January 2018 (the "Montecito Mudslides") based on a theory alleging that SCE has responsibility for the Thomas and/or Koenigstein Fires and further alleging that the Thomas and/or Koenigstein Fires proximately caused the Montecito Mudslides. According to Santa Barbara County initial reports, the Montecito Mudslides destroyed an estimated 135 structures, damaged an estimated 324 structures, and resulted in 21 confirmed fatalities, with 2 additional fatalities presumed. Based on information available to SCE and consideration of the risks associated with litigation, Edison International and SCE expect to incur a material loss in connection with the remaining alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events.

The 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events are discussed further below.

As of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, Edison International and SCE havehad paid $2.4 billion in settlements, had $1.8 billion to be paid under executed settlements, including amounts to be paid under the Woolsey Subrogation Settlement, and had $2.0 billion of estimated liabilitieslosses for remaining alleged and potential claims reflected on their consolidated balance sheets related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. As of $4.5 billionthe same date, Edison International and SCE also had assets for remaining expected recoveries from insurance of $1.6 billion$666 million, reflected as short-term assets, and through FERC electric rates of $77$91 million on their consolidated balance sheets related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. The accrued liability corresponds toestimated losses for the lower end2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events do not include an estimate of the reasonably estimated range of expectedany potential lossesfines or penalties that maycould be incurredlevied against SCE in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. Edison International and SCE are currently unable to reasonably estimate the magnitude of any such fines or penalties, or the associated timing if they were to be imposed. Estimated losses for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation are based on a number of assumptions and isare subject to change as additional information becomes available. Edison InternationalActual losses incurred may be higher or lower than estimated based on several factors, including: the uncertainty as to the legal and SCE will seekfactual determinations to offset any actual losses realized with recoveries from insurance policies in place atbe made during litigation, including uncertainty as to the timecontributing causes of the events and,2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, the complexities associated with fires that merge, whether inverse condemnation will be held applicable to SCE with respect to damages caused by the Montecito Mudslides, uncertainties related to the extent actual losses exceed insurance, through electric rates. litigation processes, the uncertainty in estimating damages that may be alleged, and the uncertainty as to how these factors impact future settlements.

The CPUC and FERC may not allow SCE to recover uninsured losses through electric rates if it is determined that such losses were not reasonably or prudently incurred. See "Loss Estimates for Third Party Claims and Potential Recoveries from Insurance and through Electric Rates" below for additional information.

External Investigations and Internal Review

The VCFD and CAL FIRE have jointly issued reports concerning their findings regarding the causes of the Thomas Fire and the Koenigstein Fire. The reports did not address the causes of the Montecito Mudslides. SCE has also received a non-final redacted draft of a report from the VCFD regarding Woolsey Fire (the "Redacted Woolsey Report"). SCE received the Redacted Woolsey Report subject to a protective order in the litigation related to the Woolsey fire and, other than the information disclosed in this Form 10-Q, is not authorized to release the report or its contents to the public at this time. Based on information received at hearings in the Woolsey Fire litigation, SCE anticipates that the VCFD will release its final report regarding the Woolsey Fire in the fourth quarter of 2020.2021. The VCFD and CAL FIRE findings do not determine legal causation of or assign legal liability for the Thomas, Koenigstein or Woolsey Fires; final determinations of legal causation and liability would only be made during lengthy and complex litigation.

SCE could be subject to material fines, penalties, or restitution for failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

54

The CPUC's Safety and Enforcement Division ("SED") is also conductinghas conducted investigations to assess SCE's compliance with applicable rules and regulations in areas impacted by the Thomas, Koenigstein and Woolsey Fires. The CPUC may initiate proceedings to investigate these matters and SCE cannot predict when the SED's investigations willcould be completed. subject to material fines or penalties in connection with any such proceeding that is initiated.

Edison International and SCE understand that the California Attorney General's Office has completed its investigation of the Thomas Fire without pursuing criminal charges. Edison International and SCE are aware of an ongoing investigation by the California Attorney General's Office of the Woolsey 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 felony liability with regards to the Thomas Fire, the Koenigstein Fire or the Woolsey Fire.

SCE's internal review into the facts and circumstances of each of the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events is complex and time consuming. SCE expects to obtain and review additional information and materials in the possession of third parties during the course of its internal reviews and the litigation processes.

Thomas Fire

On March 13, 2019, the VCFD and CAL FIRE jointly issued a report concluding, after ruling out other possible causes, that the Thomas Fire was started by SCE power lines coming into contact during high winds, resulting in molten metal falling to the ground. However, the report does not state that their investigation found molten metal on the ground. At this time, based on available information, SCE has not determined whether its equipment caused the Thomas Fire. Based on publicly available radar data showing a smoke plume in the Anlauf Canyon area emerging in advance of the report's indicated start time, SCE believes that the Thomas Fire started at least 12 minutes prior to any issue involving SCE's system and at least 15 minutes prior to the start time indicated in the report. SCE is continuing to assess the progression of the Thomas Fire and the extent of damages that may be attributable to that fire.

the Thomas Fire.

Koenigstein Fire

On March 20, 2019, the VCFD and CAL FIRE jointly issued a report finding that the Koenigstein Fire was caused when an energized SCE electrical wire separated and fell to the ground along with molten metal particles and ignited the dry vegetation below. As previously disclosed, SCE believes that its equipment was associated with the ignition of the Koenigstein Fire. SCE is continuing to assess the progression of the Koenigstein Fire and the extent of damages that may be attributable to that fire.

the Koenigstein Fire.



Montecito Mudslides

SCE's internal review includes inquiry into whether the Thomas and/or Koenigstein Fires proximately caused or contributed to the Montecito Mudslides, whether, and to what extent, the Thomas and/or Koenigstein Fires were responsible for the damages in the Montecito area and other factors that potentially contributed to the losses that resulted from the Montecito Mudslides. Many other factors, including, but not limited to, weather conditions and insufficiently or improperly designed and maintained debris basins, roads, bridges and other channel crossings, could have proximately caused, contributed to or exacerbated the losses that resulted from the Montecito Mudslides.

At this time, based on available information, SCE has not been able to determine whether the Thomas Fire or the Koenigstein Fire, or both, were responsible for the damages in the Montecito area. In the event that SCE is determined to have caused the fire that spread to the Montecito area, SCE cannot predict whether, if fully litigated, the courts would conclude that the Montecito Mudslides were caused or contributed to by the Thomas and/or Koenigstein Fires or that SCE would be liable for some or all of the damages caused by the Montecito Mudslides.

Woolsey Fire

SCE's

SCE’s internal review into the facts and circumstances of the Woolsey Fire is ongoing. SCE has reported to the CPUC that there was an outage on SCE'sSCE’s electric system in the vicinity of where the Woolsey Fire reportedly began on November 8, 2018. SCE is aware of witnesses who saw fire in the vicinity of SCE'sSCE’s equipment at the time the fire was first reported. While SCE did not find evidence of downed electrical wires on the ground in the suspected area of origin, it observed a pole support wire in proximity to an electrical wire that was energized prior to the outage.

The Redacted Woolsey Report states that the VCFD investigation team determined that electrical equipment owned and operated by SCE was the cause of the Woolsey Fire. Absent additional evidence, SCE believes that it is likely that its

55

equipment was associated with the ignition of the Woolsey Fire. SCE expects to obtain and review additional information and materials in the possession of CAL FIRE and others during the course of its internal review and the Woolsey Fire litigation process, including SCE equipment that has been retained by CAL FIRE.

Wildfire-related

Litigation

Multiple lawsuits related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events naming SCE as a defendant have been filed by three categories of plaintiffs: individual plaintiffs, subrogation plaintiffs and public entity plaintiffs. A number of the lawsuits also name Edison International as a defendant and some of the lawsuits were filed as purported class actions. The lawsuits, which have been filed inBecause potential plaintiffs can still timely file claims related to the superior courts of Ventura, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles Counties in the case of the Thomas and Koenigstein Fires and the Montecito Mudslides, and in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties in the case of the Woolsey Fire, allege, among other things, negligence, inverse condemnation, trespass, private nuisance, personal injury, wrongful death, and violations of the California Public Utilities and Health and Safety Codes.2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, SCE expects to be the subject of additional lawsuits related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events.events. The litigation could take a number of years to be resolved because of the complexity of the matters and number of plaintiffs.

As of April 20, 2021, SCE was aware of at least 269 lawsuits, representing approximately 3,000 plaintiffs, related to the Thomas and Koenigstein Fires naming SCE as a defendant. One hundred forty of the 269 lawsuits also name Edison International as a defendant based on its ownership and alleged control of SCE. At least 4 of the lawsuits were filed as purported class actions. The lawsuits, which have been filed in the superior courts of Ventura, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles Counties allege, among other things, negligence, inverse condemnation, trespass, private nuisance, and violations of the public utilities and health and safety codes. An initial trial for a limited number of plaintiffs, sometimes referred to as a bellwether trial, on certain fire only matters is currently scheduled for October 18, 2021. The bellwether trial date may be further delayed to provide SCE and certain of the individual plaintiffs in the Thomas and Koenigstein Fire litigation the opportunity to pursue settlements of claims under a program adopted to promote an efficient and orderly settlement process.

NaN of the 269 lawsuits mentioned in the paragraph above allege that SCE has responsibility for the Thomas and/or Koenigstein Fires and that the Thomas and/or Koenigstein Fires proximately caused the Montecito Mudslides, resulting in the plaintiffs' claimed damages. NaN of the 61 Montecito Mudslides lawsuits also name Edison International as a defendant based on its ownership and alleged control of SCE. In addition to other causes of action, some of the Montecito Mudslides lawsuits also allege personal injury and wrongful death. A bellwether jury trial previously scheduled for October 12, 2020 was vacated due to the wide-spread disruption being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

As of April 20, 2021, SCE was aware of at least 313 lawsuits, representing approximately 6,000 plaintiffs, related to the Woolsey Fire naming SCE as a defendant. Two hundred fifty-three of the 313 lawsuits also name Edison International as a defendant based on its ownership and alleged control of SCE. At least 2 of the lawsuits were filed as purported class actions. The lawsuits, which have been filed in the superior courts of Ventura and Los Angeles Counties allege, among other things, negligence, inverse condemnation, personal injury, wrongful death, trespass, private nuisance, and violations of the public utilities and health and safety codes. A bellwether jury trial is currently scheduled for August 9, 2021. The bellwether trial date may be further delayed to provide SCE and certain of the individual plaintiffs in the Woolsey Fire litigation the opportunity to pursue settlements of claims under a program adopted to promote an efficient and orderly settlement process.

The Thomas and Koenigstein Fires and Montecito Mudslides lawsuits are being coordinated in the Los Angeles Superior Court. The Woolsey Fire lawsuits have also been coordinated in the Los Angeles Superior Court. On October 4, 2018, the Superior Court denied Edison International's and SCE's challenge to the application of inverse condemnation to SCE with respect to the Thomas and Koenigstein Fires and, on February 26, 2019, the California Supreme Court denied SCE's petition to review the Superior Court's decision. In January 2019, SCE filed a cross-complaint against certain local public entities alleging that failures by these entities, such as failure to adequately plan for flood hazards and build and maintain adequate debris basins, roads, bridges and other channel crossings, among other things, caused, contributed to or exacerbated the losses that resulted from the Montecito Mudslides. These cross-claims in the Montecito Mudslides litigation were not released as part of the Local Public Entity Settlements (as defined below).

Additionally, in September 2018, a derivative lawsuit for breach of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment was filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court against certain current and former members of the Boards of Directors of Edison International and SCE. Edison International and SCE are identified as nominal defendants in the action. The derivative lawsuit generally alleges that the individual defendants violated their fiduciary duties by causing or allowing SCE to

56

operate in an unsafe manner in violation of relevant regulations, resulting in substantial liability and damage from the Thomas and Koenigstein Fires and the Montecito Mudslides. The lawsuit is currently stayed.

In November 2018, a purported class action lawsuit alleging securities fraud and related claims was filed in federal court against Edison International, SCE and certain current and former officers of Edison International and SCE. The plaintiff alleges that Edison International and SCE made false and/or misleading statements in filings with the Securities and

61





Exchange Commission by failing to disclose that SCE had allegedly failed to maintain its electric transmission and distribution networks in compliance with safety regulations, and that those alleged safety violations led to fires that occurred in 2017 and 2018, including the Thomas Fire and the Woolsey Fire.

In April 2021, the court granted a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. The plaintiff may appeal the dismissal.

In January 2019, 2 separate derivative lawsuits alleging breach of fiduciary duties, securities fraud, misleading proxy statements, unjust enrichment, and related claims were filed in federal court against certain current and former members of the Boards of Directors and certain current and former officers of Edison International and SCE. Edison International and SCE are named as nominal defendants in those actions. The derivative lawsuits generally allege that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties and made misleading statements or allowed misleading statements to be made (i) between March 21, 2014 and August 10, 2015, with respect to certain ex partecommunications between SCE and CPUC decision-makersdecisionmakers concerning the settlement of the San Onofre Order Instituting Investigation proceeding (the "San Onofre OII") and (ii) from February 23, 2016 to the present, concerning compliance with applicable laws and regulations concerning electric system maintenance and operations related to wildfire risks. The lawsuits generally allege that these breaches of duty and misstatements led to substantial liability and damage resulting from the disclosure of SCE's ex partecommunications in connection with the San Onofre OII settlement, and from the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events. The lawsuits are currently stayed.

Settlements

In the fourth quarter of 2019, SCE paid $360 million to a number of local public entities to resolve those parties'parties’ collective claims arising from the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events (the "Local Public Entity Settlements").

In the secondthird quarter of 2020, Edison International and SCE entered into an agreement (the "TKM Subrogation Settlement") under which all of the insurance subrogation plaintiffs' in the Thomas Fire, Koenigstein Fire and Montecito Mudslides litigation (the "TKM Subrogation Plaintiffs") collective claims arising from the Thomas Fire, Koenigstein Fire or Montecito Mudslides have been resolved. Under the TKM Subrogation Settlement, SCE paid the TKM Subrogation Plaintiffs an aggregate of $1.2 billion in October 2020 and also agreed to pay $0.555 for each dollar in claims to be paid by the TKM Subrogation Plaintiffs to their policy holders on or before July 15, 2023, up to an agreed upon cap.

In January 2021, Edison International and SCE entered into an agreement (the "Woolsey Subrogation Settlement") under which all of the insurance subrogation plaintiffs' in the Woolsey Fire litigation (the "Woolsey Subrogation Plaintiffs") collective claims arising from the Woolsey Fire have been resolved. Under the Woolsey Subrogation Settlement, SCE paid the Woolsey Subrogation Plaintiffs an aggregate of $2.2 billion in March and April 2021. SCE has also agreed to pay $0.67 for each dollar in claims to be paid by the Woolsey Subrogation Plaintiffs to their policy holders on or before July 15, 2023, up to an agreed upon cap.

As of March 31, 2021, SCE has also entered into settlements with approximately 2,000 individual plaintiffs in the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation. In 2020 SCE entered into settlements with an immaterial number of individual plaintiffs in the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation under which it agreed to pay an aggregate of approximately $16$300 million to those individual plaintiffs.plaintiffs. Between December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, SCE continues to explore settlement opportunitiesalso entered into settlements with otherindividual plaintiffs in the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation.

Mudslide Events, the complexities associated with fires that merge, whether inverse condemnation will be held applicable to SCE with respect to damages caused by the Montecito Mudslides, and the preliminary nature of the litigation processes.

For events that occurred in 2017 and early 2018, principally the Thomas and Koenigstein Fires and Montecito Mudslides, SCE had $1.0 billion of wildfire-specific insurance coverage, subject to a self-insured retention of $10 million per occurrence. For the Woolsey Fire, SCE had an additional $1.0 billion of wildfire-specific insurance coverage, subject to a self-insured retention of $10 million per occurrence. Edison International and SCE record a receivable for insurance recoveries when recovery of a recorded loss is determined to be probable.

Recovery of SCE's actual losses realized in connection with the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events through electric rates. Recoveryin excess of these costsavailable insurance is subject to approval by regulators. Under accounting standards for rate-regulated enterprises, SCE defers costs as regulatory assets when it concludes that such costs are probable of future recovery in electric rates. SCE utilizes objectively determinable evidence to form its view on probability of future recovery. The only directly

58

comparable precedent in which a California investor-owned utility has sought recovery for uninsured wildfire-related costs is SDG&E's requests for cost recovery related to 2007 wildfire activity, where the FERC allowed recovery of all FERC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs while the CPUC rejected recovery of all CPUC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs based on a determination that SDG&E did not meet the CPUC's prudency standard. As a result, while SCE does not agree with the CPUC's decision, it believes that the CPUC's interpretation and application of the prudency standard to SDG&E creates substantial uncertainty regarding how that standard will be applied to an investor-owned utility in future wildfire cost-recovery proceedings for fires ignited prior to July 12, 2019. SCE will continue to evaluate the probability of recovery based on available evidence, including judicial, legislative and regulatory decisions, including any CPUC decisions illustrating the interpretation and/or application of the prudency standard when making determinations regarding recovery of uninsured wildfire-related costs. While the CPUC has not made a determination regarding SCE's prudency relative to any of the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events, SCE is unable to conclude, at this time, that uninsured CPUC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs are probable of recovery through electric rates. SCE would record a regulatory asset at the time it obtains sufficient information to support a conclusion that recovery is probable. SCE will seek CPUC-jurisdictional rate recovery of prudently-incurred, actual losses realized in connection with the CPUC portion2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events in excess of any uninsured wildfire-related costs through its WEMA or its CEMA. available insurance.

In July 2019, SCE filed a CEMA application with the CPUC to seek recovery of, among other things, approximately $6 million in costs incurred to restore service to customers and to repair, replace and restore buildings and SCE's facilities damaged or destroyed as a result of the Thomas and Koenigstein Fires. SCE continues to incur costs for reconstructing its system and restoring service to structures that were damaged or destroyed by these two fires and plans to file additional applications with the CPUC to recover such costs. See "Recovery of Wildfire-Related Costs" below.

Through the operation of its FERC Formula Rate, and based upon the precedent established in SDG&E's recovery of FERC-jurisdictional wildfire-related costs, SCE believes it is probable it will recover its FERC-jurisdictional wildfire and mudslide related costs and has recorded total regulatory assetsexpected recoveries of $149$233 million within the FERC balancing account. This was the FERC portion of the estimated losses accrued. As of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, collections have reduced the amountregulatory assets remaining in the FERC balancing account to $77$91 million.

Current Wildfire Insurance Coverage

SCE had approximately $1.2 billion of wildfire-specific insurance coverage for events that occurred during the period June 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, subject to up to $115 million of co-insurance and $50 million of self-insured retention, which resulted in net coverage of approximately $1.0 billion.

SCE has approximately $1.0 billion of wildfire-specific insurance coverage for events that may occur during the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, subject to $50 million of self-insured retention and up to $80 million of co-insurance, and $50 million of self-insured retention, which results in net coverage of approximately $870 million. Various coverage limitations within the policies that make up SCE'sSCE’s wildfire insurance coverage could result in additional material self-insured costs, for instance in the event of multiple wildfire occurrences during a policy period or with a single wildfire with damages in excess of the policy limits. SCE believes that its insurance coverage for the July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021 period meets its obligation to maintain reasonable insurance coverage under AB 1054.

Wildfire insurance expense in 2019, prior to any regulatory deferrals, was approximately $400 million. Calendar year insurance expense reflects the portion of premiums attributable to policy coverage in that calendar year.

SCE tracks incremental insurance premium, self-insured retention and co-insurance costs related to wildfire liability insurance policies as well as other wildfire-related costs, including claims and legal costs, in its WEMA. In July 2019, SCE filed a WEMA application with the CPUC to seek recovery of an aggregate of $505 million, consisting of $478 million in wildfire insurance premium costs that havehad been incurred or willwere to be incurred before July 1, 2020 in excess of premiums approved in the 2018 GRC.

SCE's cost of obtaining wildfire insurance coverage has increased significantly in recent years as a result of, among other things, the number of recent and significant wildfire events throughout California and the application of inverse

condemnation to investor-owned utilities. As such, while SCE is required to maintain reasonable insurance coverage under AB 1054, SCE may not be able to obtain a reasonable amount of wildfire insurance, at a reasonable cost, for future policy periods.

Recovery of Wildfire-Related Costs

Pre-AB 1054 Cost Recovery

California courts have previously found investor-owned utilities to be strictly liable for property damage, regardless of fault, by applying the theory of inverse condemnation when a utility's facilities were determined to be a substantial cause of a wildfire that caused the property damage. The rationale stated by these courts for applying this theory to investor-owned utilities is that property damages resulting from a public improvement, such as the distribution of electricity, can be spread across the larger community that benefited from such improvement through recovery of uninsured wildfire-related costs in electric rates. However, in November 2017, the CPUC issued a decision denying SDG&E's request to include in its rates uninsured wildfire-related costs arising from several 2007 wildfires, finding that SDG&E did not meet the prudency standard because it did not prudently manage and operate its facilities prior to or at the outset of the 2007 wildfires. In July 2018, the CPUC denied both SDG&E's application for rehearing on its cost recovery request and a joint application for rehearing filed by SCE and PG&E limited to the applicability of inverse condemnation principles in the same proceeding. The California Court of Appeal, the California Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court have denied SDG&E's petitions for review of the CPUC's denial of SDG&E's application.
Edison International and SCE continue to pursue regulatory and legal strategies, and anticipate pursuing legislative strategies in the longer term, to address the application of a strict liability standard to wildfire-related property damages without the guaranteed ability to recover resulting costs in electric rates.

2019 Wildfire Legislation

In July 2019, AB 1054 was signed by the governor of California and became effective immediately. The summary of the wildfire legislation below is based on SCE'sSCE’s interpretation of AB 1054. A lawsuit challenging the validity of AB 1054 was filed in federal court on July 19, 2019. Edison International and SCE are unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit.

        Wildfire Insurance Fund
AB 1054 provided for the Wildfire Insurance Fund to reimburse utilities for payment of third-party damage claims arising from certain wildfires that exceed, in aggregate in a calendar year, the greater of $1.0 billion or the utility's insurance coverage. The Wildfire Insurance Fund was established in September 2019 and is available for claims related to wildfires ignited after July 12, 2019 that are determined by the responsible government investigatory agency to have been caused by a utility.
SCE and SDG&E collectively made their initial contributions totaling approximately $2.7 billion to the Wildfire Insurance Fund in September 2019. Upon its emergence from bankruptcy, on July 1, 2020, PG&E made its initial contribution of approximately $4.8 billion to the Wildfire Insurance Fund. PG&E, SCE and SDG&E are also collectively expected to make aggregate contributions of approximately $3.0 billion to the Wildfire Insurance Fund through annual contributions to the fund over a 10-year period, of which they have made their initial annual contributions totaling approximately $300 million. In
64





addition to PG&E's, SCE's and SDG&E's contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund, PG&E, SCE and SDG&E are expected to collect $6.1 billion, $6.1 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, from their customers over a 15-year period through a dedicated rate component. The amount collected from customers may be directly contributed to the Wildfire Insurance Fund or used to support the issuance of up to $10.5 billion in bonds by the California Department of Water Resources, the proceeds of which would be contributed to the fund. In addition to funding contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund, the amount collected from utility customers will pay for, among other things, any interest and financing costs related to any bonds that are issued by the California Department of Water Resources to support the contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund.
SCE made an initial contribution of approximately $2.4 billion to the Wildfire Insurance Fund in September 2019 and has committed to make ten annual contributions of approximately $95 million per year to the fund, by no later than January 1 of each year. SCE made its first annual contribution to the Wildfire Insurance Fund in December 2019. Edison International supported SCE's initial contribution to the Wildfire Insurance Fund by raising $1.2 billion from the issuance of Edison International equity. SCE raised the remaining $1.2 billion from the issuance of long-term debt. SCE's contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund will not be recoverable through electric rates and will be excluded from the measurement of SCE's CPUC-jurisdictional authorized capital structure. SCE will also not be entitled to cost recovery for any borrowing costs incurred in connection with its contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund.
Participating investor-owned utilities will be reimbursed from the Wildfire Insurance Fund for eligible claims, subject to the fund administrator's review. SCE will reimburse the fund for any withdrawn amounts if SCE receives payment of such amounts under an indemnification agreement or from an insurance provider or other third-party. SCE will also be required to reimburse the fund for withdrawn amounts that the CPUC disallows, subject, in some instances, to the AB 1054 Liability Cap (as defined below). If the utility has maintained a valid safety certification and its actions or inactions that resulted in the wildfire are not found to constitute conscious or willful disregard of the rights and safety of others, the aggregate requirement to reimburse the fund over a trailing three calendar year period is capped at 20% of the equity portion of the utility's transmission and distribution rate base in the year of the prudency determination ("AB 1054 Liability Cap"). Based on SCE's 2020 rate base and using the equity portion of SCE's CPUC authorized capital structure of 52%, SCE's requirement to reimburse the Wildfire Insurance Fund for eligible claims disallowed in 2020 would be capped at approximately $3.0 billion.
SCE will not be allowed to recover borrowing costs incurred to reimburse the fund for amounts that the CPUC disallows. The Wildfire Insurance Fund, and consequently the AB 1054 Liability Cap, will terminate when the administrator determines that the fund has been exhausted.

AB 1054 Prudency Standard

As a result of the establishment of the Wildfire Insurance Fund,

Under AB 1054, created a new standard that the CPUC must apply a new standard when assessing the prudency of a utility in connection with a request for recovery of wildfire costs for wildfires ignited after July 12, 2019. Under AB 1054, the CPUC is required to find a utility to be prudent if the utility's conduct related to the ignition was consistent with actions that a reasonable utility would have undertaken under similar circumstances, at the relevant point in time, and based on the information available at that time. Prudent conduct under the AB 1054 standard is not limited to the optimum practice, method, or act to the exclusion of others, but rather encompasses a spectrum of possible practices, methods, or acts consistent with utility system needs, the interest of the ratepayers, and the requirements of governmental agencies. AB 1054 also provides that the CPUC may determine that wildfire costs may be recoverable, in whole or in part, by taking into account factors within and outside the utility's control, including humidity, temperature, and winds. Further, utilities with a valid safety certification will be presumed to have acted prudently related to a wildfire ignition unless a party in the cost recovery proceeding creates serious doubt as to the reasonableness of the utility's conduct, at which time, the burden shifts back to the utility to prove its conduct was reasonable.prudent. If a utility does not have a valid safety certification, it will have the burden to prove, based on a preponderance of evidence, that its conduct was prudent. The new prudency standard will survive the termination of the Wildfire Insurance Fund.

Utilities participating in the Wildfire Insurance Fund are not required to reimburse the fund for amounts withdrawn from the fund that the CPUC finds were prudently incurred and can recover such prudently incurred wildfire costs through electric rates if the fund has been exhausted.

Wildfire Insurance Fund

AB 1054 provided for the Wildfire Insurance Fund to reimburse a utility for payment of third-party damage claims arising from certain wildfires that exceed, in aggregate in a calendar year, the greater of $1.0 billion or the insurance coverage required to be maintained under AB 1054. The Wildfire Insurance Fund was established in September 2019 and is available for claims related to wildfires ignited after July 12, 2019 that are determined by the responsible government investigatory agency to have been caused by a utility.

60

SCE and SDG&E collectively made their initial contributions totaling approximately $2.7 billion to the Wildfire Insurance Fund in September 2019. Upon its emergence from bankruptcy, on July 1, 2020, PG&E made its initial contribution of approximately $4.8 billion to the Wildfire Insurance Fund. PG&E, SCE and SDG&E are also collectively expected to make aggregate contributions of approximately $3.0 billion to the Wildfire Insurance Fund through annual contributions to the fund over a 10-year period, of which they have made two annual contributions totaling approximately $600 million. In addition to PG&E's, SCE's and SDG&E's contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund, PG&E, SCE and SDG&E are expected to collect $6.1 billion, $6.1 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, from their customers over a 15-year period through a dedicated rate component. The amount collected from customers may be directly contributed to the Wildfire Insurance Fund or used to support the issuance of up to $10.5 billion in bonds by the California Department of Water Resources, the proceeds of which would be contributed to the fund. In addition to funding contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund, the amount collected from utility customers will pay for, among other things, any interest and financing costs related to any bonds that are issued by the California Department of Water Resources to support the contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund.

SCE made an initial contribution of approximately $2.4 billion to the Wildfire Insurance Fund in September 2019 and committed to make ten annual contributions of approximately $95 million per year to the fund, by no later than January 1 of each year. Through March 31, 2020, SCE has contributed approximately $2.6 billion to the Wildfire Insurance Fund. During 2020 SCE amortized its contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund over 10 years, based on evaluation of the fund's expected life based on fire experience. Based on information available in the first quarter of 2021 regarding catastrophic wildfires during 2019 and 2020, SCE reassessed its estimate of the life of the Wildfire Insurance Fund. Using 7 years of historical data (2014 – 2020) of wildfires caused by electrical utility equipment to create Monte Carlo simulations of expected loss, SCE expects the life of the fund to be 15 years from July 12, 2019 which will be reflected prospectively in amortization expense from January 1, 2021. SCE's contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund will not be recoverable through electric rates and will be excluded from the measurement of SCE's CPUC-jurisdictional authorized capital structure. SCE will also not be entitled to cost recovery for any borrowing costs incurred in connection with its contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund. See Note 1 in the 2020 Form 10-K for information on the accounting impact of SCE's contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund.

Reimbursement from Wildfire Insurance Fund and AB 1054 Liability Cap

Participating investor-owned utilities will be reimbursed from the Wildfire Insurance Fund for eligible claims, subject to the fund administrator's review. SCE will reimburse the fund for any withdrawn amounts if SCE receives payment of such amounts under an indemnification agreement or from an insurance provider or other third-party. SCE will also be required to reimburse the fund for withdrawn amounts that the CPUC disallows, subject to the AB 1054 Liability Cap (as defined below). If the utility has maintained a valid safety certification and its actions or inactions that resulted in the wildfire are not found to constitute conscious or willful disregard of the rights and safety of others, the aggregate requirement to reimburse the fund over a trailing three calendar year period is capped at 20% of the equity portion of the utility's transmission and distribution rate base in the year of the prudency determination ("AB 1054 Liability Cap"). Based on SCE's forecasted weighted-average 2021 transmission and distribution rate base, excluding general plant and intangibles, and using the equity portion of SCE's CPUC authorized capital structure of 52%, SCE's requirement to reimburse the Wildfire Insurance Fund for eligible claims disallowed in 2021 would be capped at approximately $3.2 billion.

SCE will not be allowed to recover borrowing costs incurred to reimburse the fund for amounts that the CPUC disallows. The Wildfire Insurance Fund and, consequently, the AB 1054 Liability Cap will terminate when the administrator determines that the fund has been exhausted.

As of March 31, 2021, the participating investor-owned utilities have not sought reimbursement of wildfire claims from the Wildfire Insurance Fund.

Safety Certification and Wildfire Mitigation Plan

Under AB 1054, SCE can obtain an annual safety certification upon the submission of certain required safety information, including an approved wildfire mitigation plan ("WMP"). On July 25, 2019,September 17, 2020, SCE obtained its initiala safety certification that will be valid for 12 months. Notwithstanding its 12-month term, if SCE requests a new safety

61

certification prior to the expiration of its initialcurrent safety certification, then its initialcurrent safety certification will remain valid until the CPUC acts on its

65





request for a new safety certification. SCE submitted its request for a new safety certification to the CPUC's Wildfire Safety Division ("WSD") in June 2020.
acts on SCE's request for a new safety certification.

Under AB 1054, SCE is required to submit a comprehensive WMP to the CPUC at least once every three years for review and approval. Beginning in 2020, each such comprehensive plan iswas required to cover at least a three-year period. In addition, SCE anticipates updating its comprehensive three-year plans annually in the intervening years.

SCE filed its 2020 – 2022 WMP in February 2020. In June 2020, the CPUC ratified the WSDWSD's conditional approval of SCE's 2020 – 2022 WMP. The approval is conditioned on SCE providing requested information to the WSD, including additional descriptions of how SCE is implementing, and will implement, certain requirements imposed by the WSD. The CPUC's ratification of the WSD's conditional approval of SCE'sSCE filed updates to its 2020 – 2022 WMP satisfies the AB 1054 requirement that SCE must have an approved WMPin February 2021 to, receive a safety certification.

among other things, report on implementation of its plan in 2020 and describe new and ongoing wildfire mitigation activities.

Capital Expenditure Requirement

Under AB 1054, approximately $1.6 billion of spending by SCE on wildfire risk mitigation capital expenditures made after August 1, 2019, cannot be included in the equity portion of SCE's rate base ("AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures"). SCE can apply for irrevocable orders from the CPUC to finance these AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures, including through the issuance of securitized bonds, and can recover any prudently incurred financing costs. In JulyNovember 2020, SCE applied forthe CPUC issued an irrevocable order from the CPUCpermitting SCE to finance $337approximately $340 million, comprised of AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures incurred in connection with GSRPGS&RP and prudently incurred financing costs, through the issuance of securitized bonds. As of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, SCE has spent $811 million onapproximately $1.5 billion in AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures. SCE issued securitized bonds in the amount of $338 million in February 2021 and expects to seek additional irrevocable orders from the CPUC to finance the remaining AB 1054 Excluded Capital Expenditures.

Environmental Remediation

SCE records its environmental remediation and restoration liabilities when site assessments and/or remedial actions are probable and a range of reasonably likely cleanup costs can be estimated. SCE reviews its sites and measures the liability quarterly, by assessing a range of reasonably likely costs for each identified site using currently available information, including existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations, experience gained at similar sites, and the probable level of involvement and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties. These estimates include costs for site investigations, remediation, operation and maintenance, monitoring, and site closure. Unless there is a single probable amount, SCE records the lower end of this reasonably likely range of costs (reflected in "Other long-term liabilities") at undiscounted amounts as timing of cash flows is uncertain.

At June 30, 2020, SCE'sMarch 31,2021, SCE’s recorded estimated minimum liability to remediate its 2327 identified material sites (sites with a liability balance at June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, in which the upper end of the range of theexpected costs is at least $1 million) was $242$274 million, including $175$172 million related to San Onofre. In addition to these sites, SCE also has 1415 immaterial sites with a liability balance as of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, for which the total minimum recorded liability was $3$4 million. Of the $245$278 million total environmental remediation liability for SCE, $233$265 million has been recorded as a regulatory asset. SCE expects to recover $39 million through an incentive mechanism that allows SCE to recover 90% of its environmental remediation costs at certain sites (SCE may request to include additional sites)sites in this mechanism) and $194$226 million through a mechanismproceedings that allowsallow SCE to recover up to 100% of the costs incurred at certain sites through customer rates. SCE'sIn addition, SCE has other identified sites includeincluding several sites for which there is a lack of currently available information, including the nature and magnitude of contamination, and the extent, if any, that SCE may be held responsible for contributing to any costs incurred for remediating these sites. Thus, no reasonable estimate of cleanup costs can be made for these sites.

The ultimate costs to clean up SCE'sSCE’s identified sites may vary from its recorded liability due to numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, such as: the extent and nature of contamination; the scarcity of reliable data for identified sites; the varying costs of alternative cleanup methods; developments resulting from investigatory studies; the possibility of identifying additional sites; and the time periods over which site remediation is expected to occur. SCE believes that, due to these uncertainties, it is reasonably possible that cleanup costs at the identified material sites and immaterial sites could exceed its recorded liability by up to $117 million and $8 million, respectively. The upper limit of

62

this range of costs was estimated using assumptions least favorable to SCE among a range of reasonably possible outcomes.

SCE expects to clean up and mitigate its identified sites over a period of up to 30 years. Remediation costs for each of the next five years are expected to range from $7$13 million to $19$30 million. Costs incurred for both the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 were $3 million and $2 million, respectively.

million.

Based upon the CPUC'sCPUC’s regulatory treatment of environmental remediation costs incurred at SCE, SCE believes that costs ultimately recorded will not materially affect its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. There can be no

66





assurance, however, that future developments, including additional information about existing sites or the identification of new sites, will not require material revisions to estimates.

Nuclear Insurance

SCE is a member of Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited ("NEIL"), a mutual insurance company owned by entities with nuclear facilities. NEIL provides insurance for nuclear property damage, including damages caused by acts of terrorism up to specified limits, and for accidental outages for active facilities. The amount of nuclear property damage insurance purchased for San Onofre and Palo Verde exceeds the minimum federal requirement of $50 million and $1.1 billion, respectively. If NEIL losses at any nuclear facility covered by the arrangement were to exceed the accumulated funds for these insurance programs, SCE could be assessed retrospective premium adjustments of up to approximately $30 million per year.

Federal law limits public offsite liability claims for bodily injury and property damage from a nuclear incident to the amount of available financial protection, which is currently approximately $13.8$13.7 billion for Palo Verde and $560 million for San Onofre. SCE and other owners of San Onofre and Palo Verde have purchased the maximum private primary insurance available through a Facility Form issued by American Nuclear Insurers. SCE withdrew from participation in the secondary insurance pool for San Onofre for offsite liability insurance effective January 5, 2018. Based on its ownership interests in Palo Verde, SCE could be required to pay a maximum of approximately $65 million per nuclear incident for future incidents. However, it would have to pay no more than approximately $10 million per future incident in any one year. Based on its ownership interests in San Onofre and Palo Verde prior to January 5, 2018, SCE could be required to pay a maximum of approximately $255 million per nuclear incident and a maximum of $38 million per year per incident for liabilities arising from events prior to January 5, 2018, although SCE is not aware of any such events.

Spent Nuclear Fuel

Under federal law, the 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. Currently, both San Onofre and Palo Verde have interim storage for spent nuclear fuel on site sufficient for their current license period.

In June 2010, the United States Court of Federal Claims issued a decision granting SCE and the San Onofre co-owners damages of approximately $142 million (SCE's share $112 million) to recover costs incurred through December 31, 2005 for the DOE's failure to meet its obligation to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel from San Onofre. SCE received payment from the federal government in the amount of the damage award. In April 2016,

A settlement entered into between SCE, as operating agent, settled a lawsuit on behalf of the San Onofre owners against the DOE for $162 million (SCE's share $124 million, which included reimbursement for approximately $2 million in legal and other costs), to compensate for damages caused by the DOE's failure to meet its obligation to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel for the period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2013. In August 2018, the CPUC approved SCE's proposal to return the SCE share of the award to customers based on the amount that customers actually contributed for fuel storage costs; resulting in approximately $106 million of the SCE share being returned to customers and the remaining $17 million being returned to shareholders. Of the $106 million, $72 million was applied against the remaining San Onofre Regulatory Asset in accordance with the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement.

The April 2016 settlement alsoDOE provided for a claim submission/audit process for expenses incurred from 2014 – 2016, whereunder which SCE may submit a claimsubmitted claims for damages caused by the DOE failure to accept spent nuclear fuel each year followed by a government audit and payment of the claim. This process made additional legal action to recover damages incurred in 2014 –2016 unnecessary. The first such claim covering damages for 2014 – 2015 was filed on September 30, 2016 for approximately $56 million. In February 2017, the DOE reviewed the 2014 – 2015 claim submissionhas approved reimbursement of and reduced the original request topaid an aggregate of approximately $43$88 million (SCE's(SCE’s share was approximately $34$69 million). SCE accepted the DOE's determination, and the government paid the 2014 – 2015 claim under the terms of the settlement. In October 2017, SCE filed a claim covering damages for 2016 for approximately $58 million. In May 2018, the DOE approved reimbursement of approximately $45 million (SCE's share was approximately $35 million) of SCE's 2016 damages, disallowing recovery of approximately $13 million. SCE accepted the DOE's determination, and the government paid the 2016 claim under the terms of the settlement. The damages awards are subject to CPUC review as to how the amounts will be refunded among customers, shareholders, or to offset other costs.

In November 2019, SCE filed a new complaint against the DOE to recover damages incurred from January 1, 2017 through July 31, 2018.

Upstream Lighting Program


67





Tehachapi Transmission Project
From 2017 – 2019, SCE administered the Upstream Lighting Program, part of a statewide program administered by investor-owned utilities that offered discounted energy efficient light bulbs to customers through incentives to lighting manufacturers. The Tehachapi Transmission Project consistsCPUC began investigating the programs administered by the investor-owned utilities based on reports that investor-owned utilities, including SCE, shipped a significant number of new and upgraded electric transmission lines and substations between eastern Kern County and San Bernardino County and was undertakenbulbs under the program that could not be tracked to bring renewable resourcescustomers. Beginning in Kern County to energy consumers in the Los Angeles basin and the California energy grid. The project consists of eleven segments. Segments 1-3 were placed in service beginning in 2009 through 2013. Segments 4-11 were placed in service in December 2016.
In December 2019,January 2020, the CPUC filedhas sought comments on remedies related to SCE's implementation of the Upstream Lighting Program from 2017 through 2019 program years. SCE undertook an

63

independent investigation of bulbs shipped to retailers categorized as grocery and discount businesses during the 2017 to 2019 program years and found that there were overstocking of bulbs and program management shortcomings. Incentives paid to manufacturers for bulbs shipped to grocery and discount businesses during the relevant period, including those that were sold to customers, were approximately $91 million. In addition, SCE received incentives related to the bulbs shipped to grocery and discount businesses through an energy efficiency incentive mechanism ("ESPI Mechanism") of approximately $3.5 million related to the bulbs shipped in 2017 and 2018. SCE also expects to receive incentives of approximately $1.3 million under the ESPI Mechanism in 2022 related to bulbs shipped to grocery and discount businesses in 2018 and 2019.

In January 2021, the Public Advocates Office and The Utility Reform Network provided comments to the CPUC arguing that SCE imprudently managed the program and requesting: a protest alleging that $419refund of $33 million of costsESPI awards, which includes incentives associated with the Tehachapi Transmission Project are imprudentUpstream Lighting Program and shouldother energy efficiency programs; a refund of $92 million of incentives paid to manufacturers and associated program administrative costs; $140 million in fines; and additional program improvements to be disallowed from SCE's FERC rate base because these costs exceededprovided at shareholder expense. In March 2021, SCE filed reply comments arguing that remedies of approximately $21 million were appropriate.

SCE has accrued a charge for potential losses relating to the maximum reasonable cost identified byUpstream Lighting Program. The accrued charge corresponds to the CPUC when it granted the project's certificate of public convenience and necessity. As partlower end of the 2019 Formula Rate Settlement,reasonably estimated range of expected losses that may be incurred in connection with the CPUC withdrew its protest effectiveUpstream Lighting Program and is subject to change as of July 27, 2020.

Common Stock Issuances

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, Edison International issued 14,181,882did 0t issue any shares of common stock in a registered direct offering and received approximately $800 million in proceeds, before deducting fees and offering expenses of $14 million. The proceeds were used to pay off debt outstanding under a term loan agreement and for general corporate purposes. Refer to Note 5 for details of the term loan.

In May 2019, Edison International filed a prospectus supplement and executed several distribution agreements with certain sales agents to establish anthrough its "at-the-market" ("ATM") program under whichestablished in May 2019. Under the ATM program, it may sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate sales price of up to $1.5 billion. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, Edison International did 0t issue any shares through the ATM program. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, Edison International issued 391,501 shares through the ATM program and received proceeds of $27 million, net of fees and offering expenses of $0.3 million. The proceeds from the sales were used for equity contributions to SCE and for general corporate and working capital purposes. As of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of $1.3 billion remained available to be sold under the ATM program. Edison International has no obligation to sell the remaining available shares.

Edison International continued to settle its ongoing common stock requirements of various internal programs through issuance of new common stock. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, 448,000 and 1,171,800March 31, 2021, 259,700 shares of common stock were purchased by employees through the 401(k) defined contribution savings plan for net cash receipts of $26$15 million, and $72 million, 20,571 and 333,693183,985 shares of common stock were issued as stock compensation awards for net cash receipts of $1$4 million and $14 million and 72,910 and 129,01974,854 shares of new common stock were issued in lieu of distributing $5 million and $9$4 million to shareholders opting to receive dividend payments in the form of additional common stock respectively.

Equity Contributions

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, SCE received a total of $619 million and $888$900 million in capital contributions respectively, from Edison International Parent to support SCE'sSCE’s capital program, maintain the equity portion of SCE'sSCE’s capital structure at authorized levels and for general corporate purposes.

Preferred Stock Issuance

In March 2021, Edison International issued 1,250,000 shares of 5.375% Fixed-Rate Reset Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, with a liquidation value of $1,000 per share (the "Series A preferred stock"). The dividends are payable on a semi-annual basis, commencing September 15, 2021. The dividend rate will be reset every five years beginning on March 15, 2026 to equal the then-current five-year U.S. Treasury rate plus a spread of 4.698%. The net proceeds of $1.2 billion were used to repay commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes, including making a $575 million equity contribution to SCE.

Edison International may, at its option, redeem the Series A preferred stock in whole or in part during certain period of time prior to each of the dividend reset date at a price equal to $1,000 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends. Edison International may also, at its option, redeem the Series A preferred stock in whole but not in part at a price equal to $1,020 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends within a certain period of time following any

change in the criteria rating agencies use that would have adverse effects on the equity credit attributed by rating agencies to the Series A preferred stock.


The Series A preferred stock ranks senior to Edison International’s common stock with respect to dividends rights and distribution rights upon liquidation. The Series A preferred stock is not subject to any mandatory sinking fund, retirement fund, purchase fund or other similar provisions. Holders of the shares of Series A preferred stock will not have the right to require Edison International to repurchase or redeem shares of the Series A preferred stock.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Thomas Fire and Koenigstein Fire Litigation
In December 2017, wind-driven wildfires impacted portions of SCE's service territory, causing loss of life, substantial damage to both residential and business properties, and service outages for SCE customers. The VCFD and CAL FIRE have determined that the largest of the 2017 fires originated on December 4, 2017, in the Anlauf Canyon area of Ventura County (the investigating agencies refer to this fire as the "Thomas Fire"), followed shortly thereafter by the Koenigstein Fire. According to CAL FIRE, the Thomas and Koenigstein Fires burned over 280,000 acres, destroyed or damages an estimated 1,343 structures and resulted in two fatalities.
As of July 23, 2020, SCE was aware of at least 323 lawsuits, representing approximately 5,000 plaintiffs, related to the Thomas and Koenigstein Fires naming SCE as a defendant. One hundred and thirty-nine of the 323 lawsuits also name Edison International as a defendant based on its ownership and alleged control of SCE. At least four of the lawsuits were filed as purported class actions. The lawsuits, which have been filed in the superior courts of Ventura, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles Counties allege, among other things, negligence, inverse condemnation, trespass, private nuisance, and violations of the public utilities and health and safety codes. The lawsuits have been coordinated in the Los Angeles Superior Court. Three categories of plaintiffs have filed lawsuits against SCE and Edison International relating to the Thomas Fire, Koenigstein Fire and Montecito Mudslides: individual plaintiffs, subrogation plaintiffs and public entity plaintiffs. An initial jury trial for a limited number of plaintiffs, sometimes referred to as a bellwether jury trial, on certain fire only matters is currently scheduled for January 12, 2021 but may be delayed further due to the wide-spread disruption being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In November 2019, SCE and Edison International reached a settlement with certain local public entity plaintiffs in the Thomas Fire, Koenigstein Fire and Montecito Mudslides litigation under which SCE paid those local public entity plaintiffs parties an aggregate of $150 million and, other than as set forth below, the plaintiffs released SCE and Edison International from all claims and potential claims in the Thomas Fire, Koenigstein Fire and Montecito Mudslides litigation and/or related to or arising from the Thomas Fire, Koenigstein Fire or Montecito Mudslides. Certain of the local public entity plaintiffs will retain the right to pursue certain indemnity claims against SCE and Edison International. Edison International and SCE did not admit liability as part of the settlement.

Montecito Mudslides Litigation
In January 2018, torrential rains in Santa Barbara County produced mudslides and flooding in Montecito and surrounding areas. According to Santa Barbara County initial reports, the Montecito Mudslides destroyed an estimated 135 structures, damaged an estimated 324 structures, and resulted in at least 21 fatalities, with two additional fatalities presumed.
Seventy-six of the 323 lawsuits mentioned under "Thomas Fire and Koenigstein Fire Litigation" above allege that SCE has responsibilityMudslides" for the Thomas and/or Koenigstein Fires and that the Thomas and/or Koenigstein Fires proximately caused the Montecito Mudslides, resulting in the plaintiffs' claimed damages. Thirty-seven of the 76 Montecito Mudslides lawsuits also name Edison International as a defendant based on its ownership and alleged control of SCE. In addition to other causes of action, some of the Montecito Mudslides lawsuits also allege personal injury and wrongful death. The Thomas and Koenigstein Fires lawsuits and the Montecito Mudslides lawsuits have been coordinated in the Los Angeles Superior Court. Three categories of plaintiffs have filed lawsuits against SCE and Edison International relatinginformation regarding legal proceedings related to the Thomas Fire, Koenigstein Fire and Montecito Mudslides: individual plaintiffs, subrogation plaintiffs and public entity plaintiffs. An initial jury trial for a limited number2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events.

Environmental Proceedings

Each of plaintiffs, sometimes referred to as a bellwether jury trial, previously scheduled for October 12, 2020 was vacated due to the wide-spread disruption being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In November 2019, SCE and Edison International reached a settlement with certain local public entity plaintiffs in the Thomas Fire, Koenigstein Fire and Montecito Mudslides litigation under which SCE paid those local public entity plaintiffs parties an aggregate of $150 million and, other than as set forth below, the plaintiffs released SCE and Edison International from all claims and potential claims in the Thomas Fire, Koenigstein Fire and Montecito Mudslides litigation and/or related to or arising from the Thomas Fire, Koenigstein Fire or Montecito Mudslides. SCE and Edison International did not release their cross-claims against the public entity plaintiffs in the Montecito Mudslides litigation, and certain of the public entity plaintiffs will retain the right to pursue certain indemnity claims against SCE and Edison International. Edison International and SCE did not admit liability as parthave elected to disclose environmental proceedings described in Item 103(c)(3)(iii) of the settlement.Regulation SK unless it reasonably believes that such proceeding will result in no monetary sanctions, or in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, of less than $1,000,000.

Woolsey Fire Litigation
In November 2018, wind-driven wildfires impacted portions of SCE's service territory and caused substantial damage to both residential and business properties and service outages for SCE customers. The largest of these fires, known as the Woolsey Fire, originated in Ventura County and burned acreage located in both Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. According to CAL FIRE, the Woolsey Fire burned almost 100,000 acres, destroyed an estimated 1,643 structures, damaged an estimated 364 structures and resulted in three fatalities. Two additional fatalities have also been associated with the Woolsey Fire.
As of July 23, 2020, SCE was aware of at least 247 lawsuits, representing approximately 4,826 plaintiffs, related to the Woolsey Fire naming SCE as a defendant. One hundred and sixty-seven of the 247 lawsuits also name Edison International as a defendant based on its ownership and alleged control of SCE. At least two of the lawsuits were filed as purported class actions. The lawsuits, which have been filed in the superior courts of Ventura and Los Angeles Counties allege, among other things, negligence, inverse condemnation, personal injury, wrongful death, trespass, private nuisance, and violations of the public utilities and health and safety codes. The Woolsey Fire lawsuits have been coordinated in the Los Angeles Superior Court. Three categories of plaintiffs have filed lawsuits against SCE and Edison International relating to the Woolsey Fire: individual plaintiffs, subrogation plaintiffs and public entity plaintiffs.
In November 2019, SCE and Edison International reached a settlement with certain local public entity plaintiffs in the Woolsey Fire litigation under which SCE paid the local public entity plaintiffs an aggregate of $210 million and those local public entity plaintiffs released SCE and Edison International from all claims and potential claims in the Woolsey Fire litigation and/or related to or arising from the Woolsey Fire. Edison International and SCE did not admit liability as part of the settlement.

Environmental Proceedings
SCE performed 1.6 miles of access road grading and vegetation clearing in the Mission Canyon area of Santa Barbara County in December 2019, resulting in debris moving downslope into a creek bed and other impacts in the area. Several state and federal environmental agencies and the County and City of Santa Barbara are investigating the unpermitted grading and discharges to the creek, and SCE has received Notices of Violation from the Army Corps of Engineers, the County of Santa Barbara, the California Department of Fish & Wildlife and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. It is presently unknown whether any of these agencies will impose fines on SCE and, if so, in what amounts. SCE does not expect any fines that are imposed to be material.
RISK FACTORS
Edison International's and SCE's financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted by events, like the COVID-19 pandemic, that cause significant disruption to economies, societies or workforces on a regional, statewide, national or global basis.
Edison International and SCE could be materially and adversely impacted by events, such as the widespread outbreak of a communicable disease, that result in, among other things, significant disruption to economies, societies or workforces on a regional, statewide, national or global basis. The global spread of COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, has created significant uncertainty, volatility and disruption globally and has impacted the operations of Edison International and SCE. The total impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Edison International and SCE are still emerging, and the extent to which the pandemic affects Edison International's and SCE's business, operations, cash flows, liquidity and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that Edison International and SCE are unable to accurately predict at this time, including, without limitation: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individual actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic; the impact of the pandemic on economic activity; and the impact of the pandemic on Edison International's and SCE's employees, customers, contractors, insurers and service providers.
Many of the risks and uncertainties identified in the 2019 Form 10-K are, and will be, exacerbated by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions being taken by governmental entities, businesses, individuals and others in response to the pandemic. Some examples follow. Similar to other companies in California, a large portion of Edison International's and SCE's workforce, including employees of their contractors, may be unable to perform their job functions effectively due to illness, family illness, quarantine requirements, social-distancing, telework requirements and other impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, as a result of actions being taken in response to the pandemic, SCE's supply chains are facing constraints and SCE is facing challenges from local permitting authorities. If a significant portion of SCE's workforce cannot effectively perform their job functions, SCE is unable to procure required materials, SCE does not timely obtain any required permits and/or local authorities prohibit SCE from conducting previously permitted work, SCE will likely be unable to effectively and timely complete planned work and projects, including its WMP and capital projects. Further, SCE may be unable to effectively execute its Public Safety Power Shut-Off program due to, among other things, requests from local and State authorities not to shut off the power during the pandemic, and thereby may increase the risk of SCE equipment causing wildfires.

In addition, impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on SCE's customers and third parties could also result in SCE facing, among other things, significant reductions in demand for electricity and payment delays and/or defaults from customers which could result in significant under-collections. Edison International and SCE could also face payment delays and/or defaults from insurers and other counter-parties. Furthermore, capital markets have been impacted by the pandemic and this has increased Edison International's and SCE's costs of accessing those markets. Edison International's and SCE's access to the bank and capital markets could also be constrained and/or the costs of accessing those markets could increase further as a result of the pandemic, including if Edison International's and/or SCE's credit ratings are downgraded, or placed on negative watch due to concerns about Edison International and/or SCE's financial health as a result of the impacts of the pandemic. SCE may also incur significant incremental costs as a result of actions it is taking in response to the pandemic, including costs being incurred to maintain its operations and assist its employees who are required to telework or are otherwise impacted by the pandemic. SCE could also face delays in important legal and regulatory proceedings. These impacts, among others, could materially and adversely impact Edison International's and SCE's business, operations, cash flows, liquidity and financial results.
