ROSEMEAD, Calif., May 2, 2016 - Edison International (NYSE: EIX) today reported first quarter 2016 net income on a GAAP basis of $271 million, or $0.83 per share, compared to $299 million, or $0.92 per share, in the first quarter of 2015. On an adjusted basis, Edison International’s first quarter 2016 core earnings were $268 million, or $0.82 per share, compared to $294 million, or $0.90 per share, in the first quarter of 2015.

Southern California Edison's (SCE) first quarter 2016 core earnings decreased by $18 million, or $0.05 per share, from the first quarter 2015 primarily due to the timing of revenue recognized in 2015 due to the delay in receiving the 2015 California Public Utilities Commission General Rate Case decision, higher operation and maintenance costs and lower incremental income tax benefits.

Edison International Parent and Other’s first quarter 2016 core losses increased by $8 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to first quarter 2015 core losses primarily due to higher development and operating costs at Edison Energy Group and subsidiaries and income in the first quarter of 2015 from Edison Capital's investments in affordable housing projects.

Edison International's first quarter 2016 core earnings exclude income of $3 million, or $0.01 per share, and first quarter 2015 core earnings exclude income of $5 million, or $0.02 per share, both primarily related to losses allocated to tax equity investors under the hypothetical liquidation at book value accounting method.

“First quarter results were consistent with our expectation leading us to reaffirm 2016 core earnings guidance,” said Ted Craver, chairman and chief executive officer of Edison International.  “At SCE, we continue to see significant rate base growth driven by continued investment in infrastructure reliability and public safety and supporting California’s low-carbon policy objectives.”

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 GAAP earnings.

2016 Earnings Guidance

The company reaffirmed core earnings guidance of $3.81 to $4.01 per share for 2016 and updated its basic earnings guidance to $3.82 to $4.02 per share for a first quarter non-core item. See the presentation accompanying the company’s conference call for further information including key guidance assumptions.
