1 
Under GAAP, a settlement is recorded when lump-sum payments exceed estimated annual service and interest costs. Lump-sum payments made in April 2017 to Edison International executives retiring in 2016 from the Executive Retirement Plan exceeded the estimated service and interest costs, resulting in a partial settlement of that plan. A settlement loss of approximately $8 million ($5 million after-tax) was recorded at Edison International in the second quarter of 2017.
2 
Includes the amount of net loss reclassified from other comprehensive loss. The amount reclassified for Edison International and SCE was $2 million and $1 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and $6 million and $4 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The amount reclassified for Edison International and SCE was $3 million and $1 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and $8 million and $4 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
3 
During the first quarter of 2018, Edison International and SCE adopted an accounting standard retrospectively related to the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit costs for the defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. Prior years' consolidated income statements have been updated to reflect the retrospective application of this accounting standard. Service and non-service costs are included in "Operation and maintenance" and "Other income and expenses," respectively, on the consolidated income statement. See Note 1 for further information.
