Edison Interna>onal • • • • Financial Analysis (Cont’d) • Income Statement Projections • Final general rate case decision of CPUC (California Public Utilities Commission) is not expected until sometime in 2015 and Edison International currently recognizes revenue based on the 2014 authorized revenue requirement. • Operating Expenses: • Affected by likely increasing natural gas price from year 2015 to year 2017, purchased power and fuel cost of Edison International tends to increase correspondingly. • Interest Expenses: • The amount of long-term debt of Edison International maturing in the projected years 2015-2017 increases year by year. Therefore, we expect interest expense to slightly decrease in the next three years.
