New Accounting Guidance
Accounting Guidance Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued an accounting standards update requiring additional disclosures primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The guidance also eliminates certain existing disclosures related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. Edison International and SCE have applied this standard in the annual disclosure for the year ended December 31, 2025. See Note 8 for further information.
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued an accounting standards update requiring public entities to provide disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses. The guidance does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement, rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual disclosure for the year ended December 31, 2027 and subsequent interim periods with early adoption permitted. The guidance is applied prospectively. Edison International and SCE are currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
In September 2025, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to amend certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of internal-use software. Among other things, the guidance removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages and instead requires entities to begin capitalizing software costs when certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective for annual periods after January 1, 2028 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods with early adoption permitted. The guidance can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified prospective transition method. Edison International and SCE are currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
In December 2025, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to establish guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants received by business entities. The guidance is effective in annual periods beginning after January 1, 2029 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods with early adoption permitted. The guidance can be applied on a modified prospective basis, a modified retrospective basis, or a full retrospective basis. Edison International and SCE are currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

About New Standards Disclosures

New accounting standards disclosures describe recently adopted pronouncements and those not yet effective, along with management's assessment of their expected impact. This section provides an early warning system for upcoming changes to how a company reports its financial results, often years before the new rules take effect.

Key signals: when management describes a not-yet-adopted standard's impact as "material" or "still being evaluated," it signals potential significant changes to reported metrics upon adoption. Watch for standards that affect a company's core operations — for example, revenue recognition changes for software companies or lease accounting changes for retailers with large store footprints. The transition method chosen (full retrospective versus modified retrospective) affects comparability with prior periods. Companies that delay adoption to the latest permitted date may be struggling with implementation complexity. Compare the disclosed impact assessments against peers in the same industry to gauge whether management's expectations are reasonable.
