                                     Third-Quarter 2006 Financial Results

    ROSEMEAD, Calif., November 3, 2006--

o   Edison International (NYSE:EIX) announced earnings per common share of $1.38 in the third quarter of
    2006 compared to $1.41 in the third quarter of 2005, a decline of 3 cents per share, or approximately 2
    percent, primarily due to the net effect of:

    >>   An 8-cents-per-share increase in core, or operating, earnings due to improved results at both Southern
         California Edison Company (SCE) and Edison Mission Group (EMG); offset by

    >>   An 11-cents-per-share decrease in non-core earnings.

o   Excluding discontinued operations and other non-core items, core earnings per share increased more
    than 6 percent to $1.32 in the third quarter of 2006 from $1.24 in the same period a year ago.

o   Edison International is confirming its 2006 core earnings guidance of $2.91 per share and increasing
    total earnings guidance to $3.19 per share.  For 2007, Edison International is updating total earnings
    guidance to a range of $3.05 - $3.45 per share.


Third Quarter 2006 Financial Highlights:

o   Earnings per common share - $1.38

o   Net Income - $458 million
o   Revenue - $3.8 billion
o   Assets - $36.3 billion
o   Equity - $7.5 billion

THIRD-QUARTER EARNINGS SUMMARY

        "During the quarter, we continued to take large steps to meet the future energy needs of our utility
customers and to contract the forward generation of our EMG competitive generation power plants," commented
John E. Bryson, chairman and CEO, Edison International. "Southern California Edison began work on up to 225
megawatts of peaker projects to be operational by next summer and Edison Mission Group substantially
increased forward power sales through 2009."

THIRD-QUARTER EARNINGS DETAIL

Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations

       SCE's earnings from continuing operations were $263 million in the third quarter of 2006, compared to
$280 million in the third quarter of 2005.  SCE's 2006 third-quarter results include a $24 million, or
7-cents-per-share, benefit from a generator settlement.  Third quarter 2005 earnings include a positive item
of $61 million, or 19 cents per share, related to an IRS tax settlement.  Excluding these non-core items,
SCE's third-quarter 2006 core earnings were $239 million, up $20 million over the same period last year.  This
increase reflects the impact of higher net revenue at SCE associated with the 2006 General Rate Case (GRC)
and earnings from the Mountainview plant, offset by higher income tax expense.

        EMG's third-quarter earnings from continuing operations in 2006 were $204 million compared to $159
million in 2005.  Mission Energy Holding Company (MEHC), a subsidiary of EMG, had earnings of $155 million in
the third quarter of 2005 that included an after-tax impairment charge of $34 million, or 10 cents per share,
related to the March Point project.  Excluding non-core items, MEHC's third quarter core earnings in 2006
were $180 million, compared to $189 million in the third quarter of 2005.  The decrease is primarily the
result of lower income from energy trading, and lower project income primarily due to the Big Four and Doga.
The decrease in MEHC's core earnings is partially offset by favorable quarter-over-quarter results at Homer
City from a SFAS No. 133 net impact and lower net corporate interest expense.  Earnings in the third quarter
of 2006 for Edison Capital, also part of EMG, were $24 million, an increase of $20 million over the third
quarter of 2005.  This increase is primarily due to Edison Capital's share of gains from its investment in
the Emerging Europe Infrastructure Fund.

Earnings (Loss) from Discontinued Operations

        Edison International's loss from discontinued operations was $2 million in the third quarter of 2006
compared to earnings of $27 million in the same period last year.  The 2005 earnings primarily reflect
positive tax adjustments resulting from the sale of international projects.

YEAR-TO-DATE EARNINGS SUMMARY

        Edison International recorded consolidated earnings per share of $2.71 for the nine-month period ending
September 30, 2006, compared to $2.64 for the same period last year.  Excluding earnings from discontinued
operations and other non-core items, Edison International's core earnings for the nine-month period were $2.43
per share in 2006, compared to $2.42 per share in the same period in 2005.

YEAR-TO-DATE EARNINGS DETAIL

Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations

        SCE's earnings from continuing operations for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2006, were $618
million, an increase of $46 million compared to the same period last year.  SCE's results include several
non-core items:  an $81 million benefit from the resolution of an outstanding state income tax issue in 2006, a
$24 million generator settlement in 2006 and a $61 million benefit from an IRS tax settlement and a $4 million
generator refund incentive in 2005.  Excluding these non-core items, SCE's year-to-date core earnings in 2006
were $513 million, up $6 million from the same period last year. Higher net revenue authorized in the 2006 GRC
decision, along with earnings from SCE's Mountainview project were partially offset by higher income tax
expense.

        EMG's earnings from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2006 were $221 million, down $40
million from the same period last year.  MEHC's year-to-date earnings include several non-core items:  an
after-tax charge of $88 million, or 27 cents per share, reflecting the early extinguishment of debt related to
Edison Mission Energy's debt refinancing in 2006, and the March Point plant impairment of $34 million and a
charge of $15 million also related to extinguishment of debt in 2005.  Excluding these non-core items, MEHC's
year-to-date 2006 core earnings were $265 million compared to $233 million in the same period last year.  This
increase primarily reflects lower net interest expense, higher wholesale energy margins mainly driven by higher
prices at the Illinois Plants, partially offset by tax benefits recognized in 2005 and lower trading and project
income primarily due to the Big Four and Doga.  Edison Capital's earnings for the nine months ended September
30, 2006, were $44 million, down $33 million from the same period last year reflecting the impact of higher
gains in 2005 from its Emerging Europe Infrastructure Fund investment partially offset by lower net corporate
interest expense in 2006.

Earnings from Discontinued Operations

        Earnings from discontinued operations for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2006, were  $75
million resulting primarily from distributions from MEHC's Lakeland project.  Earnings from
discontinued operations for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2005, were $55 million, including
positive tax adjustments of $28 million related to the international sales and distributions from the Lakeland
project of $24 million.

        Edison International's earnings are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles used in the United States of America and represent the company's earnings as reported to the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Edison International's management uses core earnings, which exclude
earnings from discontinued operations and other non-core items, internally for financial planning and for
analysis of performance.  Edison International also uses core earnings as the primary performance measurement
when communicating with analysts and investors regarding its earnings results and outlook as it allows them
to more accurately compare the company's ongoing performance across periods.
