Edison International Reports First Quarter 2014 Results
ROSEMEAD, Calif., April 29, 2014 - Edison International (NYSE: EIX) today reported first quarter 2014 net income on a GAAP basis of $176 million, or $0.54 per share, compared to $271 million, or $0.83 per share, in the first quarter of 2013. On an adjusted basis, Edison International’s core earnings were $294 million, or $0.90 per share, compared to $252 million, or $0.77 per share, in the first quarter of 2013.
Southern California Edison’s (SCE) first quarter 2014 core earnings increased $48 million, or $0.15 per share, primarily due to higher authorized revenue from rate base growth, lower operation and maintenance expenses resulting from workforce reductions, and income tax benefits, partially offset by lower earnings from its investment in the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. Edison International Parent and Other's first quarter 2014 core losses increased $6 million, or $0.02 per share, primarily due to costs from new businesses, higher corporate expenses, and higher income tax benefits recognized in the first quarter of 2013.
First quarter 2014 adjusted earnings exclude non-core charges of $96 million, or $0.29 per share, related to SCE’s settlement agreement for San Onofre and $22 million, or $0.07 per share, of non-core losses from discontinued operations. First quarter 2013 adjusted earnings exclude $7 million, or $0.02 per share, of non-core earnings from tax benefits related to a sale of a lease investment in 2012 and $12 million, or $0.04 per share of non-core income from discontinued operations.
“Our first quarter results were a solid start to the year consistent with full-year 2014 guidance," said Ted Craver, chairman and chief executive officer of Edison International. “In addition, we have significantly reduced uncertainties through the resolution of the Edison Mission Energy bankruptcy and pending settlement of the cost recovery associated with the San Onofre Nuclear Generation Station."
Edison International uses adjusted, or 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.
2014 Earnings Guidance
The company reaffirmed its 2014 core earnings guidance of $3.60 to $3.80 per share and updated its basic earnings guidance to $3.24 to $3.44 per share to reflect first quarter non-core items. Future period charges that are not considered part of core earnings are not included in the guidance. See the risk disclosure statement in the Appendix and 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.
