“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 core earnings increase was primarily due to the timing of finalizing SCE's 2012 General Rate Case, lower operating expenses, and tax benefits from incremental repair deductions, partially offset by severance costs. The increased return on rate base growth was offset by the lower authorized return on equity.

Edison International parent company and other reported year-to-date 2013 basic losses from continuing operations of $(0.04) per share compared to $(0.04) per share in the same period in 2012.
