                                               Financial Results for Third Quarter 2005

ROSEMEAD, Calif., Nov. 4, 2005--

o    Edison International (EIX) recorded in the third quarter of 2005 consolidated earnings per common share
     of $1.41, compared to $2.49 for the same period last year.  In both years, reported earnings include
     discontinued operations that primarily reflect gains related to the sale of Mission Energy Holding
     Company's (MEHC) international assets.

o    Core earnings per share were $1.24 in the third quarter of 2005 compared to 87 cents in the same period
     last year.  Core earnings exclude earnings from discontinued operations and other non-core items.

o    EIX is increasing its 2005 core earnings guidance to $2.80 - $2.90 per share from $2.53 - $2.63 per share.

Third Quarter 2005 Financial Highlights:

o    Core earnings per common share - $1.24
o    Net Income - $462 million
o    Revenue - $3.8 billion
o    Assets - $35.5 billion

THIRD-QUARTER EARNINGS SUMMARY

         For the third quarter of 2005, EIX recorded consolidated earnings of $462 million compared
to earnings of $813 million in the same period last year.  The decrease is primarily due to the impacts
from the sales of the international assets in 2004 reported as discontinued operations, partially offset
by improved operating results at MEHC from higher wholesale energy prices, higher energy
trading income, and lower net interest expense.

         "Our core earnings for the third quarter were up 43% over the same period last year, driven by
strong results at our independent power business," reported Chairman and CEO, John Bryson.  "SCE continued
to increase its core earnings, in part, on its large capital investment to strengthen and modernize the
utility power grid.  Based on our current outlook, we are increasing our prior earnings guidance for
2005 by slightly more than 10% to a range of $2.80 to $2.90 per share."

THIRD-QUARTER EARNINGS DETAIL

Earnings from Continuing Operations

         SCE's earnings from continuing operations were $280 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared
with $259 million in the third quarter of 2004.  SCE's 2005 third-quarter earnings included a positive item
of $61 million related to a favorable tax settlement.  Third quarter 2004 earnings included $50 million of
positive regulatory items, primarily from implementation of the 2003 general rate case (GRC) decision.
Excluding these non-core items, core earnings were up $10 million on a quarter-to-quarter comparison basis.
Higher net revenue and a tax benefit from a new IRS regulation more than offset the expected timing difference
related to the implementation of the 2003 GRC decision in July of last year.

         MEHC's income from continuing operations was $154 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to
$60 million in the third quarter of 2004.  MEHC's third-quarter 2005 results include an impairment charge of
$34 million related to MEHC's March Point project as the rise in forecast fuel costs lowered projected cash
flows.  MEHC's 2004 third-quarter results included charges of $22 million, primarily from an impairment
related to Midwest Generation's (MWG) small peaking plants and the termination of the Collins Station
lease.  Excluding these charges, MEHC's core earnings increased by $106 million over the third quarter of 2004.
This increase is primarily due to higher wholesale energy prices, higher energy trading income, and lower net
corporate interest expense.

         Earnings in the third quarter of 2005 for Edison Capital were $3 million compared to $12 million
in the same period last year.  The decrease primarily reflects lower income from Edison Capital's investment
in the Emerging Europe Infrastructure Fund.  The loss for "EIX parent company and other" decreased by $15
million primarily due to lower net interest expense.

Earnings from Discontinued Operations

         The third-quarter 2005 earnings from discontinued operations primarily reflect positive tax
adjustments of $28 million resulting from the sales of international projects.  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.  Earnings from discontinued operations
during the third quarter of 2004, including a gain and recognition of a tax benefit, were $499 million.

YEAR-TO-DATE EARNINGS SUMMARY

         EIX recorded earnings of $2.64 per share for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2005,
compared to $1.65 per share for the same period last year.  The results included several non-core
adjustments detailed in the tables below.  EIX's core earnings were $2.43 per share for the nine-month
period ending September 30, 2005, compared to $1.15 per share for the same period last year.
This increase reflects higher wholesale energy prices and higher energy trading income at MEHC, lower
net interest expense, higher net revenue and tax items at SCE, and gains from Edison Capital's Emerging
Europe Infrastructure Fund.

YEAR-TO-DATE EARNINGS DETAIL

Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations

         SCE's earnings from continuing operations for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2005,
of $572 million decreased by $28 million, compared to the same period last year.  SCE's results for 2005
included a positive item of $61 million from a favorable IRS settlement.  SCE's results in 2004 included
net positive regulatory items of $172 million primarily related to the implementation of SCE's 2003 GRC
decision.  Excluding these items, SCE's core earnings were $511 million, an increase of $83 million
compared to the same period last year.  SCE's increased earnings were primarily from higher net revenue
for 2005, favorable resolution of tax issues, and the impact of a new tax regulation.

         MEHC had earnings from continuing operations of $179 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, compared to a loss of $614 million in the same period last year.  MEHC's earnings
in 2005 included a $34 million charge related to the March Point plant impairment, and a $15 million
charge related to early debt retirements.  MEHC's 2004 results included a $590 million charge for
the termination of the Collins Station lease, a net gain of $27 million on the sale of its interest
in Four Star Oil and Gas and the Brooklyn Navy Yard projects and a charge of $18 million related to
a peaker impairment.  Excluding these items, MEHC's core earnings were $228 million, an increase of
$261 million.  This increase primarily reflects higher wholesale energy prices, higher energy
trading income, and lower net corporate interest expense.

         Edison Capital's earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, were $80 million,
up $46 million from the same period last year.  This increase is primarily due to gains from its
Emerging Europe Infrastructure Fund.

         The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, for "EIX parent company and other"
decreased by $30 million compared to the same period last year, mainly due to lower net interest expense.
