SCE generated $5.604 billion of operating cash flow in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, up $1.149 billion year over year. The increase primarily reflected the 2026 rate escalation mechanism, recovery of prior-year undercollections, and higher sales volume from warmer weather, partly offset by wildfire-claim payments net of recoveries. SCE used $5.245 billion in investing activities and recorded $5.2 billion of capital expenditures, compared with $4.6 billion in the same 2025 period. Regulatory assets and liabilities contributed $2.5 billion of net cash inflows in 2026, versus $1.4 billion of net cash outflows in 2025.
