                                  Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2004

ROSEMEAD, Calif, November 5, 2004 -

o    Edison International (EIX) recorded in the third quarter of 2004 consolidated earnings of $2.49 per
     share, an increase of 49% over the same period last year.

o    The consolidated Mission Energy Holding Company (MEHC) / Edison Mission Energy took a major step toward
     the completion of its financial recovery with the sale of its interest in Contact Energy, located in New Zealand,
     and an agreement to sell its remaining international assets.

o    The sale of MEHC's interest in Contact Energy generated a net gain of 39 cents per share.  The sale of
     the remaining international assets is also expected to provide a substantial gain.

o    Under applicable accounting rules, the company recognized this quarter a "deferred tax benefit" of $327
     million.  The balance of the gain from the sale of the international assets will be recorded at the completion of
     the sale.

Third Quarter 2004 Financial Highlights:

o        Earnings per share - $2.49
o        Revenues - $3.2 billion

THIRD-QUARTER EARNINGS SUMMARY

        For the third quarter of 2004, EIX recorded consolidated earnings of $2.49 per share compared to earnings of
$1.67 per share in the same period last year.  The increase is primarily due to net benefits related to the sale of
MEHC's interest in Contact Energy and the planned sale of its international projects, partially offset by reduced
earnings from MEHC's Illinois and Homer City projects and lower net regulatory items at SCE in 2004.

        "During the third quarter, the company took a major step to secure the financial recovery of MEHC by selling,
at a substantial gain, its interest in Contact Energy and making excellent progress towards completion of the sale of
the remaining international projects.  This step, coupled with constructive prior regulatory decisions for SCE, set a
foundation for an increase in our dividend and a 5-year outlook for earnings growth substantially above our peers'
average," commented John Bryson, Chairman, Edison International.

        Beginning in the third quarter of 2004, MEHC reclassified the results of its international projects to
discontinued operations.  This reclassification included a 39-cent-per-share net gain on the sale of its interest in
Contact Energy and a deferred tax benefit of $1.00 per share related to the planned sale of its remaining
international projects.  The deferred tax benefit was recorded to recognize the higher tax basis of


                                                        - more -




MEHC's international holding company (BV) over the related book basis, as required by accounting rules applicable to
discontinued operations.

THIRD-QUARTER EARNINGS DETAIL

Earnings from Continuing Operations

        SCE's earnings from continuing operations were $259 million in the third quarter of 2004, compared with $329
million in the third quarter of 2003.  The decrease in third quarter earnings primarily reflects a $79 million
reduction in regulatory items.  After adjusting for regulatory items, higher revenue authorized in the utility's 2003
general rate case (GRC) for 2004 more than offset the expiration of the incentive mechanism for the San Onofre nuclear
plant and higher operating and maintenance expense.  SCE's 2004 third quarter earnings included two positive
regulatory items totaling $64 million resulting from the implementation of the 2003 GRC decision which were partially
offset by $14 million for the anticipated refund of employee safety awards previously recognized.  Positive regulatory
items that occurred in the third quarter of 2003 included $79 million related to the California Public Utilities
Commission's (CPUC) decision on cost allocation and $50 million for the disposition of the PROACT account.

        MEHC's income from continuing operations was $59 million in the third quarter of 2004 compared to $136 million
in the third quarter of 2003.  The decrease was primarily due to Midwest Generation's (MWG) lower capacity payments
received under the Exelon power purchase agreements, an $18 million impairment charge related to MWG's small peaking
plants and reduced earnings from the Homer City facilities due to lower generation and higher fuel costs related to
the cost of emission allowances.  The decrease in earnings was also due to the absence of earnings from Four Star Oil
& Gas Company as compared to the third quarter of 2003 due to the sale of MEHC's interest in that project in the first
quarter of 2004.  On an annual basis, MEHC's earnings are seasonal with higher earnings expected during the summer
months.

         Earnings in the third quarter of 2004 for Edison Capital were substantially unchanged from the same
period last year.  The loss for "EIX parent company and other" decreased by $2 million primarily due to lower net
interest expense.

Earnings from Discontinued Operations

        Beginning in the third quarter of 2004, MEHC reclassified the results of its international projects to
discontinued operations for all periods presented due to completion of the sale of its interest in Contact Energy
and its agreement to sell the remaining international projects.  The financial results for the third quarter of
2004 included a net after-tax gain on sale of Contact Energy of $126 million, which includes a $141 million gain
on sale partially offset by a $15 million cost on a foreign exchange option. In addition, MEHC recorded a deferred
tax benefit of $327 million to recognize the higher tax basis of its international holding company (BV) over its
book basis as required by accounting rules applicable to discontinued operations.  The sale of the remaining
international projects is structured as a sale of the stock of the BV, which held the international assets of
MEHC.  The taxable income from the sale of MEHC's interest in Contact Energy increased the stock basis of the BV,
resulting in a reduction to the projected tax on the sale of the remaining projects and recognition under
accounting rules of this deferred tax benefit.

        Excluding these items, the earnings from discontinued operations were $47 million during the third quarter
of 2004 compared to $39 million during the third quarter of 2003.  The increase in earnings was due to improved
performance at Loy Yang B and First Hydro offset by interest costs related to the $800 million bridge loan
completed in December 2003.  The third-quarter 2003 financial results also include a gain on sale of $44 million
from SCE's pipeline business.

units, and the gain on the sale of MEHC's interest in Four Star Oil & Gas Company of 9 cents per share.  The 2003
non-core adjustments include earnings of 58 cents per share at SCE from various positive regulatory items,
discontinued operations along with a gain on sale from SCE's pipeline business of 15 cents per share, a charge of
47 cents per share at MEHC related to the impairment of eight small peaking plants in Illinois and the
Gordonsville facility, and a 3-cent-per-share charge for a change in accounting principles at MEHC related to
asset retirement obligations.

        Excluding the non-core items, EIX's earnings were $1.55 per share for the nine-month period ending
September 30, 2004 compared to $1.69 per share for the same period last year.  Most of the decrease reflects the
expiration of SCE's incentive mechanism for the San Onofre nuclear plant, lower earnings at MEHC's Homer City
facility, and the absence of earnings from MEHC's interest in the Four Star Oil & Gas Company, which was sold in
the first quarter of 2004.  The decrease was partially offset by higher authorized revenue at SCE and improved
operating performance at MEHC's international projects.

YEAR-TO-DATE EARNINGS DETAIL

Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations

        SCE's earnings from continuing operations for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2004 decreased
by $50 million, compared to the same period last year.  The decrease primarily reflects the expiration of the
incentive mechanism for the San Onofre nuclear plant and the net effect of several regulatory items partially
offset by higher authorized revenues. The regulatory items include those discussed above as well as an additional
33 cents per share in 2004 primarily related to the implementation of the 2003 GRC decision and 19 cents per
share in 2003 primarily related to prior period incentive awards at the Palo Verde nuclear plant and the tax
impact of a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rate case.

        MEHC, on a consolidated basis, had a loss from continuing operations of $623 million compared to a loss
of $114 million in the same period last year.   MEHC's loss from continuing operations for the nine-month period
ending September 30, 2004, increased by $509 million compared to the same period last year primarily due to the
$608 million in charges for both the termination of the Collins lease and impairment of Illinois small peaking
plants, partially offset by the 2003 asset impairment charge of $150 million related to the Illinois small
peaking plants.  MEHC's 2004 results were favorably impacted by the gain on the sale of EME's interest in the
Four Star Oil & Gas Company which offset the earnings recorded in 2003 from the ownership of the Four Star Oil &
Gas investment.  The 2004 earnings from the Homer City facilities were lower in 2004 than 2003 due to lower
generation and higher fuel costs related to the cost of emission allowances.

        Edison Capital's earnings for the nine-months ended September 30, 2004 were $34 million, down $7 million
from the same period last year.  This decrease is primarily due to its maturing lease and housing portfolios
which produce lower income.

        The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 for "EIX parent company and other" decreased by $8
million compared to the same period last year mainly due to lower net interest expense.

Earnings from Discontinued Operations

        Earnings from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, include a gain on
sale and operating results totaling $50 million from SCE's pipeline business which was sold in the third quarter
of 2003.  At MEHC, in addition to the net gain on the sale of its interest in Contact Energy and the deferred tax
benefit discussed above, the financial results of discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30,
2004 were $126 million compared to $66 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.  Earnings increased
primarily due to the improved performance of First Hydro, Contact Energy, Loy Yang B and Paiton partially offset
by higher interest costs on the $800 million bridge loan completed in December 2003.

Change in Accounting Principle

     MEHC's consolidated results for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2003 include a $9-million charge
for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for asset retirement obligations adopted in 2003.
As SCE follows accounting principles for rate-regulated enterprises, implementation of this new standard did not
affect its earnings.  Edison Capital's 2004 results for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 include a $1
million charge for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle reflecting the impact of Edison
Capital's implementation of an accounting standard that requires the consolidation of certain variable interest
entities.

                                                              Year-To-Date Ended Sept. 30,
