Retirement Benefits [Abstract] |
Compensation and Benefit Plans | Compensation and Benefit Plans Employee Savings Plan The 401(k) defined contribution savings plan is designed to supplement employees' retirement income. The employer contributions were as follows:
| Edison International |  | SCE
(in millions) | Years ended December 31,
2024 | $ | 136 |  |  | $ | 134 |
2023 | 121 |  |  | 119 |
2022 | 103 |  |  | 101 |
Pension Plans and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions Pension Plans Noncontributory defined benefit pension plans (some with cash balance features) cover most employees meeting minimum service requirements. Employees hired by the participating companies on or after December 31, 2017 are no longer eligible to participate in the pension plan. In lieu of that, an additional non-contributory employer contribution is deposited into the Edison 401(k) Savings Plan. SCE recognizes pension expense for its nonexecutive plan as calculated by the actuarial method used for ratemaking. The expected contributions (all by the employer) for Edison International and SCE are approximately $44 million and $15 million, respectively, for the year ending December 31, 2025. The majority of annual contributions made by SCE to its pension plans are anticipated to be recovered through CPUC-approved regulatory mechanisms. The funded position of Edison International's pension is sensitive to changes in market conditions. Changes in overall interest rate levels significantly affect the company's liabilities, while assets held in the various trusts established to fund Edison International's pension are affected by movements in the equity and bond markets. Due to SCE's regulatory recovery treatment, unrealized losses equal to the unfunded status are recorded to a regulatory asset and unrealized gains equal to the funded status are recorded to a regulatory liability. See Note 11 for further information. Information on pension plan assets and benefit obligations is shown below.

1 The SCE liability excludes a long-term payable due to Edison International Parent of $88 million and $94 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to certain SCE postretirement benefit obligations transferred to Edison International Parent. For Edison International and SCE, respectively, the 2024 actuarial gains are primarily related to $159 million and $146 million from an increase of 52 basis points in the discount rate (from 5.04% as of December 31, 2023 to 5.56% as of December 31, 2024). For Edison International and SCE, respectively, the 2023 actuarial losses are primarily related to $96 million and $92 million in losses from a decrease of 32 basis points in the discount rate (from 5.36% as of December 31, 2022 to 5.04% as of December 31, 2023). Net periodic pension expense components are:

In accordance with authoritative guidance on rate-regulated enterprises, SCE records amortization of net gains and losses into regulatory assets and liabilities instead of charges and credits to other comprehensive income for the portion of SCE's postretirement benefit plans that are recoverable in utility rates. Edison International and SCE used the following weighted average assumptions to determine pension expense:
| Years ended December 31,
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022
Discount rate | 5.04 | % | 5.36 | % | 2.75 | %
Rate of compensation increase | 4.00 | % | 4.00 | % | 4.00 | %
Expected long-term return on plan assets | 6.75 | % | 6.50 | % | 5.50 | %
Interest crediting rate for cash balance account 1: |  |  |
Starting rate | 5.54 | % | 5.86 | % | 3.12 | %
Ultimate rate | 5.54 | % | 5.86 | % | 4.50 | %
Year ultimate rate is reached | 2024 | 2023 | 2026
1 Edison International and SCE were using a graduated assumption for interest crediting rate for cash balance account, where current interest rate gradually increased to an ultimate rate at a certain year. Starting 2023, Edison International and SCE changed to use single interest crediting rate assumption to determine the pension expense for cash balance account. The following benefit payments, which reflect service rendered and expected future service, are expected to be paid:
(in millions) | Edison International |  | SCE
2025 | $ | 332 |  | $ | 291
2026 | 344 |  | 301

PBOP(s) Employees hired prior to December 31, 2017 who retire at or after age 55 with at least 10 years of service may be eligible for postretirement healthcare benefits. Eligibility for a company contribution toward the cost of these benefits in retirement depends on a number of factors, including the employee's years of service, age, hire date, and retirement date. Employees hired on or after December 31, 2017 are no longer eligible for retiree healthcare benefits. In lieu of those benefits, Edison International will provide a health reimbursement account of $200 per month available only after meeting certain age and service year requirements. Under the terms of the Edison International Welfare Benefit Plan ("PBOP Plan"), each participating employer (Edison International or its participating subsidiaries) is responsible for the costs and expenses of PBOP Plan benefits with respect to its employees and former employees that exceed the participants' share of contributions. A participating employer may terminate the PBOP Plan benefits with respect to its employees and former employees, as may SCE (as PBOP Plan sponsor), and, accordingly, the participants' PBOP Plan benefits are not vested benefits. There are no expected contributions for PBOP benefits for the year ended December 31, 2025. Annual contributions related to SCE employees made to SCE plans are anticipated to be recovered through CPUC-approved regulatory mechanisms and are expected to be, at a minimum, equal to the total annual expense for these plans. SCE has three voluntary employees' beneficiary association trusts ("VEBA Trusts") that can only be used to pay for retiree health care benefits of SCE and its subsidiaries. Once funded into the VEBA Trusts, neither SCE nor Edison International can subsequently recover the remaining amounts in the VEBA Trusts. Participants of the PBOP Plan do not have a beneficial interest in the VEBA Trusts. The VEBA Trust assets are sensitive to changes in market conditions. Changes in overall interest rate levels significantly affect the company's liabilities, while assets held in the various trusts established to fund Edison International's other postretirement benefits are affected by movements in the equity and bond markets. Due to SCE's regulatory recovery treatment, the funded status is offset by a regulatory liability. Information on PBOP Plan assets and benefit obligations is shown below:

Plan Assets Description of Pension and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions Investment Strategies The investment of plan assets is overseen by a fiduciary investment committee. Plan assets are invested using a combination of asset classes and may have active and passive investment strategies within asset classes. Target allocations for 2024 pension plan assets were 17.3% for U.S. equities, 9.7% for non-U.S. equities, 55% for fixed income and 18% for opportunistic and/or alternative investments. Target allocations for 2024 PBOP plan assets (except for Represented VEBA which is 95% for fixed income and 5% for U.S. and non-U.S. equities) are 29% for U.S. and non-U.S. equities, 65% for fixed income and 6% for opportunistic and/or alternative investments. Edison International employs multiple investment management firms. Investment managers within each asset class cover a range of investment styles and approaches. Risk is managed through diversification among multiple asset classes, managers, styles and securities. Plan asset classes and individual manager performances are measured against targets. Edison International also monitors the stability of its investment managers' organizations. Allowable investment types under CPUC investment guidelines include: •United States equities: common and preferred stocks of large, medium, and small companies which are predominantly United States-based. •Non-United States equities: equity securities issued by companies domiciled outside the United States and in depository receipts which represent ownership of securities of non-United States companies. •Fixed income: fixed income securities issued or guaranteed by the United States government, non-United States governments, government agencies and instrumentalities including municipal bonds, mortgage backed securities and corporate debt obligations. A portion of the fixed income positions may be held in debt securities that are below investment grade. •Opportunistic, alternative and other investments: Opportunistic investments in short to intermediate term market opportunities. Investments may have fixed income and/or equity characteristics and may be either liquid or illiquid. Alternative investments are limited partnerships that invest in non-publicly traded entities. Other investments are diversified among multiple asset classes such as global equity, fixed income currency and commodities markets. Investments are made in liquid or illiquid instruments within and across markets. The investment returns are expected to approximate the plans' expected investment returns. Asset class portfolio weights are permitted to range within plus or minus 5%. Where approved by the fiduciary investment committee, futures contracts are used for portfolio rebalancing and to reallocate portfolio cash positions. Where authorized, a few of the plans' investment managers employ limited use of derivatives, including futures contracts, options, options on futures and interest rate swaps in place of direct investment in securities to gain efficient exposure to markets. Derivatives are not used to leverage the plans or any portfolios. Determination of the Expected Long-Term Rate of Return on Assets The overall expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption is based on the long-term target asset allocation for plan assets and capital markets return forecasts for asset classes employed. A portion of the PBOP trust asset returns is subject to taxation, so the expected long-term rate of return for these assets is determined on an after-tax basis. Capital Markets Return Forecasts Edison International's capital markets return forecast methodologies primarily use a combination of historical market data, current market conditions, proprietary forecasting expertise, complex models to develop asset class return forecasts, and a building block approach. The forecasts are developed using variables such as real risk-free interest, inflation and asset class specific risk premiums. For equities, the risk premium is based on an implied average equity risk premium of 4% over cash. The forecasted return on private equity and opportunistic investments are estimated at a 3% premium above public equity, reflecting a premium for higher volatility and lower liquidity. For fixed income, the risk premium is based on a comprehensive modeling of credit spreads. Fair Value of Plan Assets The PBOP Plan and the Southern California Edison Company Retirement Plan Trust assets include investments in equity securities, U.S. treasury securities, other fixed-income securities, common/collective funds, mutual funds, other investment entities, foreign exchange and interest rate contracts, and partnership/joint ventures. Equity securities, U.S. treasury securities, and mutual and money market funds are classified as Level 1 as fair value is determined by observable, unadjusted quoted market prices in active or highly liquid and transparent markets. The fair value of the underlying investments in equity mutual funds are based on stock-exchange prices. The fair value of the underlying investments in fixed-income mutual funds and other fixed income securities including municipal bonds are 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. Foreign exchange and interest rate contracts are classified as Level 2 because the values are based on observable prices but are not traded on an exchange. Futures contracts trade on an exchange and therefore are classified as Level 1. No investment is classified as Level 3 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Common/collective funds and partnerships are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share ("NAV") and have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. Other investment entities are valued similarly to common/collective funds and are therefore classified as NAV. The Level 1 registered investment companies are either mutual or money market funds. The remaining funds in this category are readily redeemable and classified as NAV and are discussed further in the below pension plan trust investments table's note 8. Edison International reviews the process/procedures of both the pricing services and the trustee to gain an understanding of the inputs/assumptions and valuation techniques used to price each asset type/class. The trustee and Edison International's validation procedures for pension and PBOP equity and fixed income securities are the same as the nuclear decommissioning trusts. For further discussion, see Note 4. The values of Level 1 mutual and money market funds are publicly quoted. The trustees obtain the values of common/collective and other investment funds from the fund managers. The values of partnerships are based on partnership valuation statements updated for cash flows. SCE's investment managers corroborate the trustee fair values. Pension Plan The following table sets forth the investments for Edison International and SCE that were accounted for at fair value as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, by asset class and level within the fair value hierarchy:

1 Reflected in "Operation and maintenance" on Edison International's and SCE's consolidated statements of income. Stock Options Under the 2007 Performance Incentive Plan, Edison International has granted stock options at exercise prices equal to the closing price at the grant date. Edison International may grant stock options and other awards related to, or with a value derived from, its common stock to directors and certain employees. Options generally expire 10 years after the grant date and vest over a period of three or four years of continuous service in equal annual increments, except for awards granted to retirement-eligible participants, which vest on an accelerated basis. The fair value for each option granted was determined as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires various assumptions noted in the following table:
| Years ended December 31,
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022
Expected terms (in years) | 4.7 | 4.8 | 5.0
Risk-free interest rate | 3.7% - 4.5% | 3.6% - 4.7% | 1.6% - 4.1%
Expected dividend yield | 3.6% - 4.7% | 4.2% - 4.7% | 4.0% - 5.0%
Weighted average expected dividend yield | 4.7% | 4.2% | 4.0%
Expected volatility | 23.6% - 30.4% | 29.0% - 29.6% | 27.8% - 28.6%
Weighted average volatility | 30.3% | 29.1% | 27.8%
The expected term represents the period of time for which the options are expected to be outstanding and is primarily based on historical exercise and post-vesting cancellation experience and stock price history. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury STRIPS (separate trading of registered interest and principal of securities) whose maturity corresponds to the option's expected term on the measurement date. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of Edison International's common stock for the length of the option's expected term. The volatility period used was 56 months, 58 months, and 60 months at December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The following is a summary of the status of Edison International's stock options:

Performance Shares A target number of contingent performance shares were awarded to executives in 2024, 2023, and 2022 and vest as of December 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The vesting of the grants is dependent upon market and financial performance and service conditions as defined in the grants for each of the years. The number of performance shares earned from each year's grants could range from zero to twice the target number (plus additional units credited as dividend equivalents). The fair value of market condition performance shares is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model for the total shareholder return. The fair value of financial performance condition performance shares is determined (i) at grant as the target number of shares (which Edison International determined to be the probable outcome) valued at the closing price on the grant date of Edison International common stock and (ii) subsequently using Edison International's earnings per share compared to pre-established targets. The following is a summary of the status of Edison International's nonvested performance shares:
