Third Quarter Earnings Detail

Southern California Edison's (SCE) third quarter 2013 basic and core earnings were $1.46 per share compared to earnings of $1.11 per share in the third quarter of 2012. The change in core earnings was primarily due to the timing of finalizing SCE's 2012 General Rate Case and income tax benefits. In addition, SCE's return on its investment resulting from rate base growth was offset by a lower authorized 2013 return on common equity.

Edison International parent company and other reported third quarter 2013 basic losses from continuing operations of $(0.04) per share compared to $(0.02) per share in the third quarter of 2012. Third quarter 2013 core losses were $(0.04) per share compared to $(0.11) per share in the third quarter of 2012.The change in core earnings was mainly due to lower consolidated state income taxes.

SCE's year-to-date core earnings were $3.09 per share compared to $2.26 per share for the same period last year.

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 stock options 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 EIX parent & other.

Risk Disclosure Statement

Forward-looking statements about the financial outlook for Edison International and its subsidiaries are included in this news release. 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 2012 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. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations only as of the date of this news release, and Edison International assumes no duty to update them to reflect new information, events or circumstances.
