“As in the first quarter, strong operating results from Southern California Edison reflect higher authorized investment in our electric grid infrastructure, good cost management, and favorable tax benefits,” said Ted Craver, chairman and chief executive officer of Edison International. “These results are consistent with the updated Edison International earnings guidance that we provided in June and that we reaffirmed today.”
Second Quarter Earnings Detail
Southern California Edison's (SCE) second quarter 2013 basic losses were $(0.28) per share compared to earnings of $0.59 per share in the second quarter of 2012, and includes an impairment charge of $1.12 per share related to the early retirement of San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) Units 2 and 3.
SCE's second quarter 2013 core earnings, excluding the SONGS impairment charge, were $0.84 per share compared to $0.59 per share in the second quarter of 2012. The core earnings increase was primarily due to the timing of the 2012 General Rate Case (GRC) which was approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) in November 2012, lower operating expenses, and tax benefits, offset by severance costs.
Edison International parent company and other reported second quarter 2013 basic and core losses from continuing operations of $(0.05) per share compared to $(0.03) per share in the second quarter of 2012. The decrease in core earnings was mainly due to consolidated taxes.

Year-to-Date Earnings Summary
Edison International reported basic earnings of $0.54 per share for the year-to-date period ending June 30, 2013, compared to $0.51 per share for the same period last year. Core earnings for the first six months of 2013 were $1.57 per share compared to $1.10 per share for the first half of 2012.
Year-to-Date Earnings Detail
SCE's year-to-date 2013 basic earnings were $0.51 per share, including the second quarter SONGS impairment charge of $1.12 per share, compared to $1.14 per share for the same period last year.
SCE's year-to-date core earnings were $1.63 per share compared to $1.14 per share for the same period last year.

The increased return on rate base growth was offset by the lower authorized return on equity.

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.
