Parent Reports Reduced Losses From Broker-Consultant
May 01,2019
In reporting earnings for the first quarter of 2019, Edison International said that its Parent and Other’s first quarter 2019 loss from continuing operations decreased by $53 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to first quarter 2018, consisting of $9 million, or $0.03 per share, of lower core losses and $44 million, or $0.13 per share, of lower non-core losses.
"The decrease in core losses was mainly due to lower corporate expenses and decreased losses at the competitive businesses under Edison Energy Group," the company said
"The lower non-core losses for the first quarter 2019 were primarily related to the absence of a $48 million, or $0.15 per share, after-tax impairment charge recorded in 2018 resulting from an agreement to sell SoCore Energy," the company said
The Edison International Parent and Other segment reported a loss of $15 million for the first quarter of 2019, versus a loss of $68 million a year ago
