Edison International Reports Second Quarter 2015 Results

ROSEMEAD, Calif., July 30, 2015 - Edison International (NYSE: EIX) today reported second quarter 2015 net income on a GAAP basis of $379 million, or $1.16 per share, compared to $536 million, or $1.64 per share, in the second quarter of 2014. On an adjusted basis, Edison International’s second quarter 2015 core earnings were $378 million, or $1.16 per share, compared to $352 million, or $1.08 per share, in the second quarter of 2014.
“SCE remains focused on improving its safety and operational performance and continues to invest at high levels to support system reliability, public safety and California’s renewables mandates,” said Ted Craver, chairman and chief executive officer of Edison International. “Earnings improved in the second quarter primarily from federal tax benefits, but until SCE receives a decision in its 2015 General Rate Case, comparative results are not meaningful.”
Southern California Edison's (SCE) second quarter 2015 core earnings increased by $22 million, or $0.07 per share, from the second quarter 2014 primarily due to a $100 million, or $0.31 per share, tax benefit from revisions to liabilities for uncertain tax positions. In addition, earnings benefited from higher Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)-related revenue from rate base growth and earnings on funds used during construction. These were partially offset by lower other income and other tax items. SCE continues to recognize revenue from CPUC activities in 2015 largely based on 2014 authorized base revenue requirements included in customer rates. The revenue requirement ultimately adopted by the CPUC will be retroactive to January 1, 2015.
During the second quarter of 2014, SCE recorded $29 million, or $0.09 per share, of income tax benefits from revisions to liabilities for uncertain tax positions and $14 million ($9 million after-tax), or $0.03 per share, of benefits related to generator settlements.
Edison International Parent and Other’s second quarter 2015 core losses decreased by $4 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to second quarter 2014 core losses primarily due to lower corporate expenses.
Edison International's second quarter 2015 core earnings exclude income of $1 million related to losses allocated to tax equity investors under the hypothetical liquidation at book value accounting method. Edison International's second quarter 2014 core earnings exclude income of $184 million, or $0.56 per share, from discontinued operations.
Year-to-Date Earnings
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, Edison International reported net income on a GAAP basis of $678 million, or $2.08 per share, compared to $712 million, or $2.18 per share, during the same period in 2014. On an adjusted basis, Edison International’s core earnings were $672 million, or $2.06 per share, compared to $646 million, or $1.98 per share, in the year-to-date period in 2014.
SCE’s core earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased $23 million, or $0.08 per share, from the same period in 2014, due to higher income tax benefits, FERC-related revenue from rate base growth and earnings on funds used during construction, partially offset by lower other income. Edison International Parent and Other’s year-to-date 2015 core losses were comparable to core losses in the same period of 2014.

Edison International's year-to-date 2015 core earnings exclude income of $6 million, or $0.02 per share, related to losses allocated to tax equity investors under the hypothetical liquidation at book value accounting method. Edison International's year-to-date 2014 core earnings exclude a charge of $96 million, or $0.29 per share, related to the SCE San Onofre Settlement Agreement and $162 million, or $0.49 per share, of income from discontinued operations.
Edison International uses core earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that adjusts for significant discrete items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings. Edison International management believes that core earnings provide more meaningful comparisons of performance from period to period. Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of core earnings to basic earnings.
2015 Earnings Guidance
Edison International will provide 2015 earnings guidance after a final decision has been issued by the CPUC on the Southern California Edison 2015 General Rate Case. See the presentation accompanying the company’s conference call for further information.

Appendix

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Edison International’s earnings are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States and represent the company’s earnings as reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our management uses core earnings and core earnings per share (EPS) internally for financial planning and for analysis of performance. We also use core earnings and core EPS when communicating with analysts and investors regarding our earnings results to facilitate comparisons of the Company’s performance from period to period. Financial measures referred to net income, basic EPS, core earnings, or core EPS also applies to the description of earnings or earnings per share.
Core earnings and core EPS are non-GAAP financial measures and may not be comparable to those of other companies. Core earnings and core EPS are defined as basic earnings and basic EPS excluding income or loss from discontinued operations and income or loss from significant discrete items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings. Basic earnings and losses refer to net income or losses attributable to Edison International shareholders. Core earnings are reconciled to basic earnings in the attached tables. The impact of participating securities (vested awards that earn dividend equivalents that may participate in undistributed earnings with common stock) for the principal operating subsidiary is not material to the principal operating subsidiary’s EPS and is therefore reflected in the results of the Edison International holding company, which is included in Edison International Parent and Other.
Risk Disclosure Statement

These forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations; however, such statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from current expectations. Important factors that could cause different results are discussed under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Edison International’s Form 10-K, most recent Form 10-Q, and other reports and presentations filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which are available at: www.edisoninvestor.com.
