Item 7.01Regulation FD Disclosure
On September 13, 2025, the California Legislature approved Senate Bill (“SB”) 254. SB 254 will be sent to the California Governor, who is expected to sign the legislation into law. The summary of SB 254 furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report is based on SCE's interpretation of the legislation.
Members of Edison International management will use the information in the presentation furnished as Exhibit 99.1 regarding the legislation referenced above in meetings with institutional investors and analysts and at investor conferences. The attached presentation will also be posted on www.edisoninvestor.com.
Item 8.01Other Events
On September 11, 2025, SCE entered into an agreement (the "Subrogation Settlement") with an insurance claimant in the 2025 Eaton Fire litigation (the “Subrogation Claimant”). Under the Subrogation Settlement, SCE agreed to pay the Subrogation Claimant $0.52 for each dollar in claims paid or to be paid by the Subrogation Claimant to its policy holders, up to an agreed upon cap. The Subrogation Claimant had paid its policy holders an aggregate of approximately $500 million as of July 31, 2025. No admission of wrongdoing or liability was made in reaching the Subrogation Settlement, and the Subrogation Claimant agreed to release SCE and Edison International from all claims and potential claims related to or arising from the Eaton Fire.
SCE has advised the administrator of the Wildfire Insurance Fund that SCE believes the Eaton Fire is a “covered wildfire” for purposes of accessing the fund and that it anticipates that future resolution of eligible claims arising from the Eaton Fire will require seeking reimbursement from the fund.

| SEPTEMBER 15, 2025<br>BUSINESS UPDATE SUPPLEMENT:<br>SB 254 SUMMARY | |
|---|---|
| Edison International | SB 254 Summary 1<br>Statements contained in this presentation about future performance, including, without limitation, operating results, capital expenditures, rate base growth, dividend policy, financial outlook, and other statements that are not purely historical, are<br>forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations; however, such statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from current expectations. These forward-looking<br>statements represent our expectations only as of the date of this presentation, and Edison International assumes no duty to update them to reflect new information, events or circumstances. Important factors that could cause different results include,<br>but are not limited to the:<br>• ability of SCE to recover its costs through regulated rates, timely or at all, including uninsured wildfire-related and debris flow-related costs (including amounts paid for self-insured retention and co-insurance, and amounts not recoverable from<br>the Wildfire Insurance Fund), and costs incurred for wildfire restoration efforts and to mitigate the risk of utility equipment causing future wildfires;<br>• the cybersecurity of Edison International's and SCE's critical information technology systems for grid control and business, employee and customer data, and the physical security of Edison International's and SCE's critical assets and personnel;<br>• risks associated with the operation and maintenance of electrical facilities, including worker, contractor, and public safety issues, the risk of utility assets causing or contributing to wildfires, failure, availability, efficiency, and output of equipment<br>and facilities, and availability and cost of spare parts;<br>• impact of affordability of customer rates on SCE's ability to execute its strategy, including the impact of affordability on SCE’s ability to obtain regulatory approval of, or cost recovery for, operations and maintenance expenses, proposed capital<br>investment projects, and increased costs due to supply chain constraints, tariffs, inflation and rising interest rates and the impact of legislative actions on affordability;<br>• ability of SCE to update its grid infrastructure to maintain system integrity and reliability, and meet electrification needs;<br>• ability of SCE to implement its operational and strategic plans, including its Wildfire Mitigation Plan and capital investment program, including challenges related to project site identification, public opposition, environmental mitigation,<br>construction, permitting, contractor performance, changes in the California Independent System Operator's (“CAISO”) transmission plans, and governmental approvals;<br>• risks of regulatory or legislative restrictions that would limit SCE's ability to implement operational measures to mitigate wildfire risk, including Public Safety Power Shutoff (“PSPS”) and fast curve settings, when conditions warrant or would<br>otherwise limit SCE's operational practices relative to wildfire risk mitigation;<br>• ability of SCE to obtain safety certifications from the Office of Energy Infrastructure Safety of the California Natural Resources Agency (“OEIS“);<br>• risk that California Assembly Bill 1054 (“AB 1054“) or other new California legislation does not effectively mitigate the significant exposure faced by California investor-owned utilities related to liability for damages arising from catastrophic<br>wildfires where utility facilities are alleged to be a substantial cause, including the longevity of the Wildfire Insurance Fund and the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) interpretation of and actions under AB 1054, including its<br>interpretation of the prudency standard clarified by AB 1054;<br>• ability of Edison International and SCE to effectively attract, manage, develop and retain a skilled workforce, including its contract workers;<br>• decisions and other actions by the CPUC, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the California legislature and other governmental authorities, including decisions and actions related to<br>nationwide or statewide crisis, approval of regulatory proceeding settlements, determinations of authorized rates of return or return on equity, the recoverability of wildfire-related and debris flow-related costs, issuance of SCE's wildfire safety<br>certification, reforming wildfire-related liability protections available to California investor-owned utilities, wildfire mitigation efforts, approval and implementation of electrification programs, and delays in executive, regulatory and legislative<br>actions;<br>• governmental, statutory, regulatory, or administrative changes or initiatives affecting the electricity industry, including the market structure rules applicable to each market adopted by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, CAISO,<br>Western Electricity Coordinating Council, and similar regulatory bodies in adjoining regions, and changes in the United States' and California's environmental priorities that lessen the importance placed on greenhouse gas reduction and other<br>climate related priorities;<br>• potential for penalties or disallowances for non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including fines, penalties and disallowances related to wildfires where SCE's equipment is alleged to be associated with ignition;<br>• extreme weather-related incidents (including events caused, or exacerbated, by climate change), such as wildfires, debris flows, flooding, droughts, high wind events and extreme heat events and other natural disasters (such as earthquakes),<br>which could cause, among other things, worker and public safety issues, property damage, outages and other operational issues (such as issues due to damaged infrastructure), PSPS activations and unanticipated costs;<br>• risks associated with the decommissioning of San Onofre, including those related to worker and public safety, public opposition, permitting, governmental approvals, on-site storage of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive material, delays,<br>contractual disputes, and cost overruns;<br>• risks associated with cost allocation resulting in higher rates for utility bundled service customers because of possible customer bypass or departure for other electricity providers such as Community Choice Aggregators (“CCA,” which are cities,<br>counties, and certain other public agencies with the authority to generate and/or purchase electricity for their local residents and businesses) and Electric Service Providers (entities that offer electric power and ancillary services to retail customers,<br>other than electrical corporations (like SCE) and CCAs);<br>• actions by credit rating agencies to downgrade Edison International or SCE’s credit ratings or to place those ratings on negative watch or negative outlook.<br>Other important factors are discussed under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements”, “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in Edison International’s Form 10-K and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange<br>Commission, which are available on our website: www.edisoninvestor.com. These filings also provide additional information on historical and other factual data contained in this presentation.<br>Forward-Looking Statements |
