NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Basis of Presentation
Edison International is the parent holding company of Southern California Edison Company ("SCE"). SCE is an investor-owned public utility primarily engaged in the business of supplying and delivering electricity to an approximately 50,000 square mile area of southern California. Edison International is also the parent company of subsidiaries that are engaged in competitive businesses related to the delivery or use of electricity. Such competitive business activities are currently not material to report as a separate business segment. These combined notes to the consolidated financial statements apply to both Edison International and SCE unless otherwise described. Edison International's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Edison International, SCE and other wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. References to Edison International refer to the consolidated group of Edison International and its subsidiaries. References to Edison International Parent and Other refer to Edison International Parent and its nonutility subsidiaries. SCE's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SCE and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.
Edison International's and SCE's significant accounting policies were described in Note 1 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in the 2013 Form 10-K. The same accounting policies are followed for interim reporting purposes, with the exception of accounting principles adopted as of January 1, 2014, discussed below in "—New Accounting Guidance." This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the 2013 Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of recurring accruals, have been made that are necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for the periods covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
The December 31, 2013 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents included investments in money market funds. Generally, the carrying value of cash equivalents equals the fair value, as these investments have original maturities of three months or less. The cash equivalents were as follows:

Earnings Per Share
Edison International computes earnings per common share ("EPS") using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security. Edison International's participating securities are stock-based compensation awards payable in common shares, including performance shares and restricted stock units, which earn dividend equivalents on an equal basis with common shares once the awards are vested. EPS attributable to Edison International common shareholders was computed as follows:

In addition to the participating securities discussed above, Edison International also may award stock options which are payable in common shares and are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. Stock option awards to purchase 2,050,449 and 4,455,669 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of the awards was greater than the average market price of the common shares during the respective periods and, therefore, the effect would have been antidilutive.
New Accounting Guidance
Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2014
In July 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that requires that an unrecognized tax benefit be presented on the balance sheet as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss ("NOL") or tax credit carryforward under certain circumstances. Edison International and SCE adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2014 and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which will reduce the number of disposals that qualify for reporting as a discontinued operation and will also increase the associated disclosure. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. In addition, this update also requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. Edison International and SCE will adopt this guidance prospectively effective January 1, 2015.

Note 3.    Variable Interest Entities
A VIE is defined as a legal entity whose equity owners do not have sufficient equity at risk, or, as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack any of the following three characteristics: decision-making rights, the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity. The primary beneficiary is identified as the variable interest holder that has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE. Commercial and operating activities are generally the factors that most significantly impact the economic performance of such VIEs. Commercial and operating activities include construction, operation and maintenance, fuel procurement, dispatch and compliance with regulatory and contractual requirements.

14



Variable Interest in VIEs that are not Consolidated
Power Purchase Contracts
SCE has power purchase agreements ("PPAs") that are classified as variable interests in VIEs, including tolling agreements through which SCE provides the natural gas to fuel the plants and contracts with qualifying facilities ("QFs") that contain variable pricing provisions based on the price of natural gas. SCE has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs since it does not control the commercial and operating activities of these entities. Since payments for capacity are the primary source of income, the most significant economic activity for these VIEs is the operation and maintenance of the power plants.
As of the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in SCE's consolidated balance sheet that relate to its involvement with VIEs result from amounts due under the PPAs or the fair value of those derivative contracts. Under these contracts, SCE recovers the costs incurred through demonstration of compliance with its CPUC-approved long-term power procurement plans. SCE has no residual interest in the entities and has not provided or guaranteed any debt or equity support, liquidity arrangements, performance guarantees or other commitments associated with these contracts other than the purchase commitments described in Note 12 of the 2013 Form 10-K. As a result, there is no significant potential exposure to loss to SCE from its variable interest in these VIEs. The aggregate contracted capacity dedicated to SCE for these VIE projects was 5,641 MW and 3,578 MW at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and the amounts that SCE paid to these projects were $125 million and $98 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These amounts are recoverable in customer rates, subject to reasonableness review.
Unconsolidated Trusts of SCE
SCE Trust I, Trust II and Trust III were formed in 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively, for the exclusive purpose of issuing the 5.625%, 5.10% and 5.75% trust preference securities, respectively (“trust securities”). The trusts are VIEs. SCE has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as it does not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the trusts. SCE Trust I, Trust II and Trust III issued $475 million, $400 million and $275 million, respectively, (cumulative, liquidation amount of $25 per share) to the public and $10,000 of common stock each to SCE. The trusts invested the proceeds of these trust securities in Series F, Series G and Series H Preference Stock issued by SCE in the principal amounts of $475 million, $400 million and $275 million (cumulative, $2,500 per share liquidation value), respectively, which have substantially the same payment terms as the trust securities.
The Series F, Series G and Series H Preference Stock and the corresponding trust securities do not have a maturity date. Upon any redemption of any shares of the Series F, Series G or Series H Preference Stock, a corresponding dollar amount of trust securities will be redeemed by the applicable trust (for further information see Note 13). The applicable trust will make distributions at the same rate and on the same dates on the applicable series of trust securities when and if the SCE board of directors declares and makes dividend payments on the Series F, Series G or Series H Preference Stock. The applicable trusts will use any dividends it receives on the Series F, Series G or Series H Preference Stock to make its corresponding distributions on the applicable series of trust securities. If SCE does not make a dividend payment to any of these trusts, SCE would be prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock. SCE has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the payment of the trust securities and trust distributions, if and when SCE pays dividends on the Series F, Series G and Series H Preference Stock.
The Trust I and Trust II balance sheets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, consisted of investments of $475 million and $400 million in the Series F and Series G Preference Stock, respectively, $475 million and $400 million of trust securities, respectively, and $10,000 each of common stock. The Trust III balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 consisted of investments of $275 million in the Series H Preference Stock, $275 million of trust securities, and $10,000 of common stock.
The trusts' income statements consisted of both dividend income and dividend distributions in the amounts of $7 million and $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively for Trust I, $5 million and $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively for Trust II, and $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 for Trust III.

Note 4.    Fair Value Measurements
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (referred to as an “exit price”). Fair value of an asset or liability considers assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about nonperformance risk. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, nonperformance risk was not material for Edison International and SCE.
Assets and liabilities are categorized into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on valuation inputs used to determine fair value.
Level 1 – The fair value of Edison International and SCE's Level 1 assets and liabilities is determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are available at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities. This level includes exchange-traded equity securities and derivatives, U.S. treasury securities, mutual funds and money market funds.
Level 2 – Edison International and SCE's Level 2 assets and liabilities include fixed income securities primarily consisting of U.S. government and agency bonds, municipal bonds and corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives. The fair value of fixed income securities is determined using a market approach by obtaining quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument.
The fair value of SCE's over-the-counter derivative contracts is determined using an income approach. SCE uses standard pricing models to determine the net present value of estimated future cash flows. Inputs to the pricing models include forward published or posted clearing prices from exchanges (New York Mercantile Exchange and Intercontinental Exchange) for similar instruments and discount rates. A primary price source that best represents trade activity for each market is used to develop observable forward market prices in determining the fair value of these positions. Broker quotes, prices from exchanges or comparison to executed trades are used to validate and corroborate the primary price source. These price quotations reflect mid-market prices (average of bid and ask) and are obtained from sources believed to provide the most liquid market for the commodity.
Level 3 – The fair value of SCE's Level 3 assets and liabilities is determined using the income approach through various models and techniques that require significant unobservable inputs. This level includes over-the-counter options, tolling arrangements and derivative contracts that trade infrequently such as congestion revenue rights ("CRRs") and long-term power agreements. Edison International Parent and Other does not have any Level 3 assets and liabilities.
Assumptions are made in order to value derivative contracts in which observable inputs are not available. Changes in fair value are based on changes to forward market prices, including extrapolation of short-term observable inputs into forecasted prices for illiquid forward periods. In circumstances where fair value cannot be verified with observable market transactions, it is possible that a different valuation model could produce a materially different estimate of fair value. Modeling methodologies, inputs and techniques are reviewed and assessed as markets continue to develop and more pricing information becomes available and the fair value is adjusted when it is concluded that a change in inputs or techniques would result in a new valuation that better reflects the fair value of those derivative contracts.

Edison International and SCE recognize the fair value for transfers in and transfers out of each level at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers between any levels during 2014 and 2013.
Valuation Techniques Used to Determine Fair Value
The process of determining fair value is the responsibility of SCE's risk management department, which reports to SCE's chief financial officer. This department obtains observable and unobservable inputs through broker quotes, exchanges and internal valuation techniques that use both standard and proprietary models to determine fair value. Each reporting period, the risk and finance departments collaborate to determine the appropriate fair value methodologies and classifications for each derivative. Inputs are validated for reasonableness by comparison against prior prices, other broker quotes and volatility fluctuation thresholds. Inputs used and valuations are reviewed period-over-period and compared with market conditions to determine reasonableness.
The following table sets forth SCE's valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used to determine fair value for significant Level 3 assets and liabilities:

Level 3 Fair Value Sensitivity
Congestion Revenue Rights
For CRRs, where SCE is the buyer, generally increases (decreases) in forecasted load in isolation would result in increases (decreases) to the fair value. In general, an increase (decrease) in electricity and gas prices at illiquid locations tends to result in increases (decreases) to fair value; however, changes in electricity and gas prices in opposite directions may have varying results on fair value.
Tolling Arrangements
The fair values of SCE's tolling arrangements contain intrinsic value and time value. Intrinsic value is the difference between the market price and strike price of the underlying commodity. Time value is made up of several components, including volatility, time to expiration, and interest rates. The option model for tolling arrangements reflects plant specific information such as operating and start-up costs.
For tolling arrangements where SCE is the buyer, increases in volatility of the underlying commodity prices would result in increases to fair value as it represents greater price movement risk. As power and gas prices increase, the fair value of tolling arrangements tends to increase. The valuation of tolling arrangements is also impacted by the correlation between gas and power prices. As the correlation increases, the fair value of tolling arrangements tends to decline.
Nuclear Decommissioning Trusts
SCE's nuclear decommissioning trust investments include equity securities, U.S. treasury securities and other fixed income securities. Equity and treasury securities are classified as Level 1 as fair value is determined by observable market prices in active or highly liquid and transparent markets. The remaining fixed income securities are classified as Level 2. The fair value of these financial instruments is based on evaluated prices that reflect significant observable market information such as reported trades, actual trade information of similar securities, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids, offers and relevant credit information.
Fair Value of Long-Term Debt Recorded at Carrying Value

Note 5.    Debt and Credit Agreements
Credit Agreements and Short-Term Debt
In January 2014, SCE issued $300 million of floating rate first and refunding mortgage bonds due in January 2015. The proceeds from these bonds were used for working capital to fund the ERRA balancing account undercollections.
At March 31, 2014, SCE's outstanding commercial paper was $105 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.20%. This commercial paper was supported by a $2.75 billion multi-year revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2014, letters of credit issued under SCE's credit facility aggregated $141 million and are scheduled to expire in twelve months or less. At December 31, 2013, the outstanding commercial paper was $175 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.24%.
At March 31, 2014, Edison International Parent's outstanding commercial paper was $206 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.51%. This commercial paper was supported by a $1.25 billion multi-year revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2013, the outstanding commercial paper was $34 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.55%.
Note 6.    Derivative Instruments
Derivative financial instruments are used to manage exposure to commodity price risk. These risks are managed in part by entering into forward commodity transactions, including options, swaps and futures. To mitigate credit risk from counterparties in the event of nonperformance, master netting agreements are used whenever possible and counterparties may be required to pledge collateral depending on the creditworthiness of each counterparty and the risk associated with the transaction.
Commodity Price Risk
Commodity price risk represents the potential impact that can be caused by a change in the market value of a particular commodity. SCE's electricity price exposure arises from energy purchased from and sold to wholesale markets as a result of differences between SCE's load requirements and the amount of energy delivered from its generating facilities and power purchase agreements. SCE's natural gas price exposure arises from natural gas purchased for the Mountainview power plant and peaker plants, QF contracts where pricing is based on a monthly natural gas index and power purchase agreements in which SCE has agreed to provide the natural gas needed for generation, referred to as tolling arrangements.
Credit and Default Risk
Credit and default risk represents the potential impact that can be caused if a counterparty were to default on its contractual obligations and SCE would be exposed to spot markets for buying replacement power or selling excess power. In addition, SCE would be exposed to the risk of non-payment of accounts receivable, primarily related to the sales of excess power and realized gains on derivative instruments.
Certain power contracts contain master netting agreements or similar agreements, which generally allows counterparties subject to the agreement to setoff amounts when certain criteria are met, such as in the event of default. The objective of netting is to reduce credit exposure. Additionally, to reduce SCE's risk exposures counterparties may be required to pledge collateral depending on the credit worthiness of each counterparty and the risk associated with the transaction.
Certain power contracts contain a provision that requires SCE to maintain an investment grade rating from each of the major credit rating agencies, referred to as a credit-risk-related contingent feature. If SCE's credit rating were to fall below investment grade, SCE may be required to pay the derivative liability or post additional collateral. The net fair value of all derivative liabilities with these credit-risk-related contingent features was $53 million and $49 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, for which SCE has posted no collateral to its counterparties for the respective periods. If the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered on March 31, 2014, SCE would be required to post collateral in the amount of $10 million, excluding the impact of unpaid closed positions as their settlement is not impacted by the credit-risk-related contingent features.

20



Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
SCE presents its derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis on its consolidated balance sheets when subject to master netting agreements or similar agreements. Derivative positions are offset against margin and cash collateral deposits. In addition, SCE has provided collateral in the form of letters of credit. Collateral requirements can vary depending upon the level of unsecured credit extended by counterparties, changes in market prices relative to contractual commitments and other factors.

In addition, at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, SCE had posted $7 million and $19 million, respectively, of collateral that is not offset against derivative liabilities and is reflected in "Other current assets" on the consolidated balance sheets.
Income Statement Impact of Derivative Instruments
SCE recognizes realized gains and losses on derivative instruments as purchased power expense and expects that such gains or losses will be part of the purchase power costs recovered from customers. As a result, realized gains and losses do not affect earnings, but may temporarily affect cash flows. Due to expected future recovery from customers, unrealized gains and losses are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities and therefore also do not affect earnings. The results of derivative activities and related regulatory offsets are recorded in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The CPUC requires flow-through ratemaking treatment for the current tax benefit arising from certain property-related and other temporary differences which reverse over time. The accounting treatment for these temporary differences results in recording regulatory assets and liabilities for amounts that would otherwise be recorded to deferred income tax expense.
Property-related items include recognition of income tax benefits from repair deductions for income tax purposes. During the first quarter of 2014, SCE recorded flow through tax benefits related to repair deductions and other tax items under the San Onofre Settlement. The tax benefits were offset by estimated refunds to customers included as part of the pre-tax charge of $231 million.
Tax Disputes
The IRS examination phase of tax years 2003 through 2006 was completed in the fourth quarter of 2010, which included proposed adjustments for the following two items:
A proposed adjustment increasing the taxable gain on the 2004 sale of EME's international assets, which if sustained, would result in a federal tax payment of approximately $208 million, including interest and penalties through March 31, 2014.
A proposed adjustment to disallow a component of SCE's repair allowance deduction, which if sustained, would result in a federal tax payment of approximately $101 million, including interest through March 31, 2014.

22



Edison International disagrees with the proposed adjustments and filed a protest with the IRS in the first quarter of 2011. Edison International anticipates that the IRS will issue a deficiency notice for the tax, interest and possibly penalties at the conclusion of the IRS appeals process. After the receipt of such deficiency notice, Edison International will have 90 days to file a petition in United States Tax Court. If a petition is not timely filed, Edison International anticipates after the expiration of the 90-day period, the IRS will assess the underpayment of tax, interest and penalties, if any, and demand payment.
Tax Years 2007 – 2009
The IRS examination phase of tax years 2007 through 2009 was completed during the first quarter of 2013. Edison International received a Revenue Agent Report from the IRS on February 28, 2013 which included a proposed adjustment to disallow a component of SCE's repair allowance deduction (similar to the 2003 – 2006 tax years). The proposed adjustment to disallow a component of SCE's repair allowance deduction, if sustained, would result in a federal tax payment of approximately $75 million, including interest through March 31, 2014. Edison International disagrees with the proposed adjustment and filed a protest with the IRS in April 2013.
Note 8.    Compensation and Benefit Plans
Pension Plans
Edison International made contributions of $6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Edison International expects to make contributions of $202 million during the remainder of 2014, which includes $185 million from SCE. Annual contributions made to most of SCE's pension plans are anticipated to be recovered through CPUC-approved regulatory mechanisms. Annual contributions to these plans are expected to be, at a minimum, equal to the related annual expense.

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
Edison International made contributions of $4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and expects to make contributions of $11 million during the remainder of 2014, all of which are expected to be made by SCE. Annual contributions made to SCE plans are anticipated to be recovered through CPUC-approved regulatory mechanisms and are expected to be, at a minimum, equal to the total annual expense for these plans. Benefits under these plans, with some exceptions, are generally unvested and subject to change. Under the terms of the Edison International Health and Welfare Plan (“PBOP Plan”) each participating employer (Edison International or its participating subsidiaries) is responsible for the costs and expenses of all PBOP benefits with respect to its employees and former employees. A participating employer may terminate the PBOP benefits with respect to its employees and former employees, as may SCE (as Plan sponsor), and, accordingly, the participants' PBOP benefits are not vested benefits.

Workforce Reductions
In 2012, SCE commenced multiple efforts to reduce its workforce in order to reflect SCE's strategic direction to optimize its cost structure, moderate customer rate increases and align its cost structure with its peers. In addition, in June 2013, SCE announced plans to permanently retire San Onofre, which resulted in additional workforce reductions. See Note 9 for further information. Through March 31, 2014, SCE's share of estimated cash severance for these efforts totaled $213 million. The following table provides a summary of changes in the accrued severance liability associated with these reductions:

Note 9. San Onofre Issues
Replacement steam generators were installed at San Onofre in 2010 and 2011. On January 31, 2012, a water leak suddenly occurred in one of the heat transfer tubes in San Onofre's Unit 3 steam generators. The Unit was safely taken off-line and subsequent inspections revealed excessive tube to tube wear. At the time, Unit 2 was off-line for a planned outage when areas of unexpected tube to support structure wear were found. Later, evidence of tube to tube wear in Unit 2 was also discovered. On June 6, 2013, SCE decided to permanently retire Units 2 and 3.
Entry Into Settlement Agreement with Certain OII Parties
In October 2012 the CPUC issued an Order Instituting Investigation (“OII”) that consolidated all San Onofre issues in related CPUC regulatory proceedings to consider appropriate cost recovery for all San Onofre costs, including among other costs, the cost of the steam generator replacement project, substitute market power costs, capital expenditures, and operation and maintenance costs.
On March 27, 2014, SCE entered into a Settlement Agreement with The Utility Reform Network ("TURN"), the CPUC's Office of Ratepayer Advocates ("ORA") and SDG&E, which was later joined by the Coalition of California Utility Employees ("CUE") and Friends of the Earth ("FOE") (together, the “Settling Parties”). If implemented, the Settlement Agreement will constitute a complete and final resolution of the CPUC’s OII and related proceedings regarding the Steam Generator Replacement Project (“SGRP”) at San Onofre and the related outage and subsequent shutdown of San Onofre. The Settlement Agreement does not affect proceedings before the NRC or proceedings related to recoveries from third parties described below. Implementation of the Settlement Agreement is subject to the approval of the CPUC. The parties to the Settlement Agreement have agreed to exercise their best efforts to obtain CPUC approval. The Settlement Agreement is subject to termination by any of the Settling Parties if the CPUC has not approved it within six months of submission, but there can be no certainty of when or what the CPUC will actually decide.

24



Disallowances, Refunds and Rate Recoveries
If the Settlement Agreement is approved, SCE will not be allowed to recover in rates its capitalized costs for the SGRP as of February 1, 2012 or a return on such investment after such date. As of February 1, 2012, SCE’s net book value in the SGRP was approximately $597 million. Additionally, SCE will not be allowed to recover in rates approximately $99 million of incremental inspection and repair costs incurred for the replacement steam generators (“RSGs”) in 2012 that were in excess of CPUC-authorized operations and maintenance expense. These costs, net of invoices paid, were previously expensed in SCE’s 2012 financial results, although they remain subject to recovery from the supplier of the RSGs. Neither will SCE be allowed to recover in rates provisionally authorized operations and maintenance expense in 2013 that exceeds amounts included in recorded operations and maintenance expense (including severance and incremental repair and inspection costs); such excess had not been recognized in 2013 earnings. Subject to the foregoing, SCE will be authorized to recover in rates its remaining investment in San Onofre, including base plant, materials and supplies, nuclear fuel inventory and contracts and construction work in progress (“CWIP”), generally over a ten-year period commencing February 1, 2012. Additionally, SCE will be authorized to recover in rates its provisionally authorized operations and maintenance expenses for 2012, recorded costs for the 2012 refueling outage of Unit 2, recorded operations and maintenance expenses for 2013, and recorded operations and maintenance expenses for 2014 subject to customary prudency review. Finally, SCE will also be authorized to recover in rates through its fuel and purchased power balancing account (“ERRA”) all costs incurred to purchase electric power in the market related to the outage and shutdown of San Onofre, and to recover by December 31, 2015 any San Onofre-related ERRA undercollections. Estimated market power costs through June 6, 2013 (the date of San Onofre’s retirement) were approximately $680 million using the methodology followed in the OII. To the extent that amounts otherwise recoverable in rates under the Settlement Agreement are recovered from SCE’s Decommissioning Trust as a decommissioning cost, the amounts otherwise recoverable in rates will be reduced with no impact on earnings.
The portion of SCE’s San Onofre investment in base plant, CWIP and materials and supplies, which SCE is entitled to recover from February 1, 2012, will earn a return equal to the weighted average of SCE’s authorized return on debt and 50% of its authorized return on preferred equity, pro-rated to the percentage of the investment that equals SCE’s percentage of debt and preferred equity in its authorized capital structure. SCE will not earn a return on common equity on its amortizable San Onofre investment. Accordingly, SCE will be allowed to earn a rate of return of 2.95% in 2012, 2.62% for the period 2013 –2014 and a rate that will float during the amortization period thereafter with changes in SCE’s authorized return on debt and preferred equity. SCE’s investment in nuclear fuel will earn a return equal to commercial paper rates that SCE pays from time to time.
Accounting and Financial Impact
Due to the decision to early retire San Onofre Units 2 and 3, GAAP required reclassification of the amounts recorded in property, plant and equipment and related tangible operating assets to a regulatory asset to the extent that management concluded it was probable of recovery through future rates. Regulatory assets may also be recorded to the extent management concludes it is probable that direct and indirect costs incurred to retire Units 2 and 3 as of each reporting date are recoverable through future rates. In accordance with these requirements and as a result of its decision to retire San Onofre Units 2 and 3, SCE reclassified $1,521 million of its total investment in San Onofre at May 31, 2013 to a regulatory asset (“San Onofre Regulatory Asset”) and recorded an impairment charge of $575 million ($365 million after tax) in the second quarter of 2013. As of December 31, 2013, SCE had recorded a net regulatory asset of approximately $1.3 billion, comprised of $1.56 billion of property, plant and equipment, less $266 million for estimated refunds of authorized revenue recorded in excess of SCE’s costs of service.
As a result of the execution of the Settlement Agreement by the Settling Parties, SCE has concluded that the outcome of the OII that is more likely than any other outcome is approval and implementation of the Settlement Agreement, although approval by the CPUC remains uncertain. As a result, in the first quarter of 2014, SCE recorded an additional pre-tax charge of approximately $231 million (approximately $96 million after-tax). Including the amounts recorded during the first quarter of 2014 and the amounts previously recorded in 2013, the total impact of the San Onofre Settlement is estimated at $806 million (approximately $461 million after-tax). The total pre-tax charge is due to:
the disallowance of the SGRP investment ($542 million as of May 31, 2013);
refund of revenue related to the SGRP previously recognized of $159 million; and
implementation of the other terms of the Settlement Agreement, including a refund of flow through tax benefits of $71 million and a refund of the authorized return in excess of the return allowed for non-SGRP investments. The refund was offset by recognition of tax benefits in an equal amount. The after-tax impact of the settlement was $96 million.

25



At March 31, 2014, the San Onofre Regulatory Asset was $1.37 billion and the San Onofre regulatory liability for refunds of revenue was approximately $371 million. Such amounts do not reflect any recoveries from third parties by SCE.

On April 3, 2014, the Settling Parties filed a motion in the OII requesting the CPUC to approve the Settlement Agreement without change, find the Settlement Agreement reasonable and expedite consideration of the Settlement Agreement in order to provide the benefits of it as soon as possible. The Settling Parties also urged the CPUC to stay further proceedings in the OII pending a determination on the Settlement Agreement and to withdraw the November 19, 2013 Proposed Decision on Phase 1 and Phase 1A issues in the OII. During the pendency of proceedings regarding the Settlement Agreement, the Settling Parties are further bound to support and mutually defend the Settlement Agreement in its entirety, oppose any modifications proposed by any non-settling party to the OII unless all Settling Parties agree, and cooperate reasonably on all submissions. The Settling Parties further agree to review any CPUC orders regarding the Settlement Agreement to determine if the CPUC has changed or modified it, deleted a term or imposed a new term. If any Settling Party is unwilling to accept any such change, modification, deletion or addition of a new term, then the Settling Parties will negotiate in good faith to seek a resolution acceptable to all Settling Parties. If they are unable to resolve the matter to the satisfaction of all Settling Parties or to obtain prompt CPUC approval of an agreed upon resolution, then any Settling Party can terminate the Settlement Agreement upon prompt notice.
Under CPUC rules, parties in the OII will have an opportunity to comment on the Settlement Agreement, and if there are objections raising factual issues, then the CPUC’s review may include evidentiary proceedings. CPUC rules do not provide for any fixed time period for the CPUC to act on the Settlement Agreement. The CPUC has stated that it will hold an evidentiary hearing in mid-May 2014 and has directed the Settling Parties to hold a community meeting in June 2014 to present the settlement to the public. Pursuant to the CPUC’s rules, no settlement becomes binding on the parties to it unless the CPUC approves the settlement based on a finding that it is reasonable in light of the whole record, consistent with law, and in the public interest. The CPUC has discretion to approve or disapprove a settlement, or to condition its approval on changes to the settlement, which the parties may accept or reject.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance regarding the timing of any CPUC decision or that the CPUC will approve the Settlement Agreement or refrain from making changes to it that are not acceptable to all the Settling Parties. Thus, there can be no assurance that the OII proceeding will provide for recoveries as currently estimated by SCE in accordance with the Settlement Agreement, including the recovery of costs recorded as a regulatory asset, or that the CPUC does not order refunds to customers above those contemplated by the Settlement Agreement. Therefore, the amount recorded for the San Onofre Regulatory Asset is subject to further change based upon future developments and the application of SCE’s judgment to those events.
Continuing NRC Proceedings
As part of the NRC's review of the San Onofre outage and proceedings related to the possible restart of Unit 2, the NRC appointed an Augmented Inspection Team to review SCE's performance. In December 2013, the NRC finalized an Inspection Report in connection with The Augmented Inspection Team’s review and SCE’s response to an earlier NRC Confirmatory Action Letter. The NRC’s report contained a preliminary “white” finding (low to moderate safety significance) and an apparent violation regarding the steam generators in Unit 3 and a preliminary “green” finding (very low safety significance) for Unit 2’s steam generators for failing to ensure that MHI’s modeling and analysis were adequate. The NRC also issued an Inspection Report to MHI containing a Notice of Nonconformance for its flawed computer modeling in the design of San Onofre’s steam generators. In addition, the NRC's Office of Investigations has been conducting an investigation into the accuracy and completeness of information SCE provided to the Augmented Inspection Team. SCE has also been made aware of an investigation related to San Onofre by the NRC's Office of Inspector General, which generally reviews internal NRC affairs. Certain anti-nuclear groups and individual members of Congress have alleged that SCE knew of deficiencies in the steam generators when they were installed or otherwise did not correctly follow NRC requirements in connection with the design and installation of the replacement steam generators, something which SCE has vigorously denied, and have called for investigations, including by the Department of Justice. SCE cannot predict when or whether ongoing inquiries or investigations by the NRC will be completed or whether inquiries by other government agencies will be initiated. Should the NRC find a deficiency in SCE's provision of information, SCE could be subject to additional NRC actions, including the imposition of penalties, and the findings could be taken into consideration in the CPUC regulatory proceedings described above.

Note 12.    Commitments and Contingencies
Indemnities
Edison International and SCE have various financial and performance guarantees and indemnity agreements which are issued in the normal course of business.
Edison International and SCE have provided indemnifications through contracts entered into in the normal course of business. These are primarily indemnifications against adverse litigation outcomes in connection with underwriting agreements, and indemnities for specified environmental liabilities and income taxes with respect to assets sold. Edison International's and SCE's obligations under these agreements may or may not be limited in terms of time and/or amount, and in some instances Edison International and SCE may have recourse against third parties. Edison International and SCE have not recorded a liability related to these indemnities. The overall maximum amount of the obligations under these indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated.
SCE has indemnified the City of Redlands, California in connection with Mountainview's California Energy Commission permit for cleanup or associated actions related to groundwater contaminated by perchlorate due to the disposal of filter cake at the City's solid waste landfill. The obligations under this agreement are not limited to a specific time period or subject to a maximum liability. SCE has not recorded a liability related to this indemnity.
Contingencies
In addition to the matters disclosed in these Notes, Edison International and SCE are involved in other legal, tax and regulatory proceedings before various courts and governmental agencies regarding matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Edison International and SCE believe the outcome of these other proceedings will not, individually or in the aggregate, materially affect its results of operations or liquidity.
San Onofre
SCE believes that the actions taken and costs incurred in connection with the San Onofre replacement steam generators and outages have been prudent. Accordingly, SCE has argued in related CPUC regulatory proceedings that its operating, capital, and market power costs should be recoverable through base rates and the ERRA balancing account (as reduced by the charges recorded in 2013 and 2014). SCE, however, cannot provide assurance that the CPUC will not disallow costs incurred or order refunds to customers of amounts collected in rates, or that SCE will be successful in recovering amounts from third parties. Disallowances of costs and/or refund of amounts received from customers could be material and adversely affect SCE's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In March 2014, SCE, in recognition of these risks, entered into a settlement agreement with San Diego Gas & Electric Company, ORA, TURN, FOE and CUE that, if approved by the CPUC, would resolve the disallowance and regulatory recovery issues in accordance with the terms of the agreement. SCE will pursue recoveries from the manufacturer of the replacement steam generators and under San Onofre's insurance, but there is no assurance that SCE will recover all of its applicable costs pursuant to these arrangements. See Note 9 for further details.

San Gabriel Valley Windstorm Investigation
In November 2011, a windstorm resulted in significant damage to SCE’s electric system and service outages for SCE customers primarily in the San Gabriel Valley. The CPUC directed its Safety and Enforcement Division (“SED”) to conduct an investigation focused on the cause of the outages, SCE’s service restoration effort, and SCE’s customer communications during the outages. The SED issued its final report on January 11, 2013. The report asserts that SCE and others with whom SCE shares utility poles violated certain CPUC safety rules applicable to overhead line construction, maintenance and operation, which may have caused the failures of affected poles and supporting cables. The report also concludes that SCE’s restoration time was not adequate and makes other assertions. Additionally, the report contends that SCE violated CPUC rules by failing to preserve evidence relevant to the investigation when it did not retain damaged poles that were replaced following the windstorm. In February 2014, SCE entered into agreements with the SED to settle this matter and another, unrelated matter involving SCE's system that occurred in San Bernardino for approximately $24.5 million. In March 2014, the CPUC opened an OII on the 2011 windstorm and the San Bernardino matter and SCE and the SED jointly filed a motion seeking approval of the settlement agreements in this OII. If the settlement agreements are not approved by the CPUC and SCE is found to have violated any CPUC rules, it could be subject to penalties. Absent approval of the two settlement agreements by the CPUC, SCE is unable to estimate a possible loss or range of loss that may be imposed by the CPUC on SCE.
Four Corners Environmental Matters
In October 2011, four private environmental organizations filed a CAA citizen lawsuit against the co-owners of Four Corners. The complaint alleges that certain work performed at the Four Corners generating units 4 and 5, over the approximate periods of 19851986 and 20072010, constituted plant “major modifications” and the plant's failure to obtain permits and install best available control technology ("BACT") violated the Prevention of Significant Deterioration requirements and the New Source Performance Standards of the CAA. The complaint also alleges subsequent and continuing violations of BACT air emissions limits. The lawsuit seeks injunctive and declaratory relief, civil penalties, including a mitigation project and litigation costs. In November 2012, the parties requested a stay of the litigation to allow for settlement discussion, and the matter is currently stayed. In December 2013, SCE sold its ownership interest in generating units 4 and 5 to APS. Under the sale agreement SCE remains responsible for its pro-rata share of certain environmental liabilities, including penalties in the event they arise from environmental violations prior to the sale. In addition, under the terms of the sale agreement, SCE retains the liability for its proportionate share of expenses occurring as a result of new environmental regulations applicable to the coal ash and combustion residuals deposited at the landfill at Four Corners during the period that SCE held its ownership interest in Four Corners if such new regulations are adopted. SCE is unable to estimate a possible loss or range of loss associated with these matters.
Environmental Remediation
SCE records its environmental remediation liabilities when site assessments and/or remedial actions are probable and a range of reasonably likely cleanup costs can be estimated. SCE reviews its sites and measures the liability quarterly, by assessing a range of reasonably likely costs for each identified site using currently available information, including existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations, experience gained at similar sites, and the probable level of involvement and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties. These estimates include costs for site investigations, remediation, operation and maintenance, monitoring and site closure. Unless there is a single probable amount, SCE records the lower end of this reasonably likely range of costs (reflected in "Other long-term liabilities") at undiscounted amounts as timing of cash flows is uncertain.
At March 31, 2014, SCE's recorded estimated minimum liability to remediate its 19 identified material sites (sites in which the upper end of the range of the costs is at least $1 million) was $112 million, including $73 million related to San Onofre. In addition to these sites, SCE also has 39 immaterial sites for which the total minimum recorded liability was $4 million. Of the $116 million total environmental remediation liability for SCE, $112 million has been recorded as a regulatory asset. SCE expects to recover $37 million through an incentive mechanism that allows SCE to recover 90% of its environmental remediation costs at certain sites (SCE may request to include additional sites) and $74 million through a mechanism that allows SCE to recover 100% of the costs incurred at certain sites through customer rates. SCE's identified sites include several sites for which there is a lack of currently available information, including the nature and magnitude of contamination, and the extent, if any, that SCE may be held responsible for contributing to any costs incurred for remediating these sites. Thus, no reasonable estimate of cleanup costs can be made for these sites.

30



The ultimate costs to clean up SCE's identified sites may vary from its recorded liability due to numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, such as: the extent and nature of contamination; the scarcity of reliable data for identified sites; the varying costs of alternative cleanup methods; developments resulting from investigatory studies; the possibility of identifying additional sites; and the time periods over which site remediation is expected to occur. SCE believes that, due to these uncertainties, it is reasonably possible that cleanup costs at the identified material sites and immaterial sites could exceed its recorded liability by up to $161 million and $7 million, respectively, all of which is related to SCE. The upper limit of this range of costs was estimated using assumptions least favorable to SCE among a range of reasonably possible outcomes.
SCE expects to clean up and mitigate its identified sites over a period of up to 30 years. Remediation costs for each of the next four years are expected to range from $6 million to $32 million. Costs incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $1 million and $2 million, respectively.
Based upon the CPUC's regulatory treatment of environmental remediation costs incurred at SCE, SCE believes that costs ultimately recorded will not materially affect its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. There can be no assurance, however, that future developments, including additional information about existing sites or the identification of new sites, will not require material revisions to estimates.
Nuclear Insurance
Federal law limits public liability claims from a nuclear incident to the amount of available financial protection, which is currently approximately $13.6 billion. SCE and other owners of San Onofre and Palo Verde have purchased the maximum private primary insurance available ($375 million). The balance is covered by a loss sharing program among nuclear reactor licensees. If a nuclear incident at any licensed reactor in the United States results in claims and/or costs which exceed the primary insurance at that plant site, all nuclear reactor licensees could be required to contribute their share of the liability in the form of a deferred premium.
Based on its ownership interests, SCE could be required to pay a maximum of approximately $255 million per nuclear incident. However, it would have to pay no more than approximately $38 million per incident in any one year. If the public liability limit above is insufficient, federal law contemplates that additional funds may be appropriated by Congress. This could include an additional assessment on all licensed reactor operators as a measure for raising further federal revenue.
NEIL, a mutual insurance company owned by entities with nuclear facilities, issues primary property damage, decontamination and excess property damage and accidental outage insurance policies. At San Onofre and Palo Verde, property damage insurance covers losses up to $500 million, including decontamination costs. Decontamination liability and excess property damage coverage exceeding the primary $500 million also has been purchased in amounts greater than the federal requirement of a minimum of approximately $1.06 billion. Property damage insurance also covers damages caused by acts of terrorism up to specified limits. Additional outage insurance covers part of replacement power expenses during an accident-related nuclear unit outage. The accidental outage insurance at San Onofre has been canceled as a result of the permanent retirement, but that insurance continues to be in effect at Palo Verde.
If losses at any nuclear facility covered by the arrangement were to exceed the accumulated funds for these insurance programs, SCE could be assessed retrospective premium adjustments of up to approximately $52 million per year. Insurance premiums are charged to operating expense.
Wildfire Insurance
Severe wildfires in California have given rise to large damage claims against California utilities for fire-related losses alleged to be the result of the failure of electric and other utility equipment. Invoking a California Court of Appeal decision, plaintiffs pursuing these claims have relied on the doctrine of inverse condemnation, which can impose strict liability (including liability for a claimant's attorneys' fees) for property damage. Prolonged drought conditions in California have also increased the risk of severe wildfire events. On September 1, 2013, Edison International, renewed its liability insurance coverage, which included coverage for SCE's wildfire liabilities up to a $500 million limit (with a self-insured retention of $10 million per wildfire occurrence). Various coverage limitations within the policies that make up this insurance coverage could result in additional self-insured costs in the event of multiple wildfire occurrences during the policy period (September 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014). SCE also has additional coverage for certain wildfire liabilities of $450 million, which applies when total covered wildfire claims exceed $550 million, through May 31, 2014. SCE may experience coverage reductions and/or increased insurance costs in future years. No assurance can be given that future losses will not exceed the limits of SCE's insurance coverage.

31



Spent Nuclear Fuel
Under federal law, the Department of Energy ("DOE") is responsible for the selection and construction of a facility for the permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. The DOE did not meet its contractual obligation to begin acceptance of spent nuclear fuel by January 31, 1998. Extended delays by the DOE have led to the construction of costly alternatives and associated siting and environmental issues. Currently, both San Onofre and Palo Verde have interim storage for spent nuclear fuel on site sufficient for the current license period.
In June 2010, the United States Court of Federal Claims issued a decision granting SCE and the San Onofre co-owners damages of approximately $142 million (SCE share $112 million) to recover costs incurred through December 31, 2005 for the DOE's failure to meet its obligation to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel from San Onofre. SCE received payment from the federal government in the amount of the damage award in November 2011. SCE has returned to the San Onofre co-owners their respective shares of the damage award paid. In December 2013, the CPUC approved SCE's proposal to return the SCE share of the award to customers based on the amount that customers actually contributed for fuel storage costs, resulting in approximately $94 million of the SCE share being returned to customers and the remaining $18 million being returned to shareholders. SCE, as operating agent, filed a lawsuit on behalf of the San Onofre owners against the DOE in the Court of Federal Claims in December 2011 seeking damages of approximately $98 million for the DOE's failure to meet its obligation to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel for the period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2010. Additional legal action would be necessary to recover damages incurred after December 31, 2010. All damages recovered by SCE are subject to CPUC review as to how these amounts would be distributed among customers, shareholders, or to offset fuel decommissioning or storage costs.
Note 13.    Preferred and Preference Stock of Utility
During the first quarter of 2014, SCE issued 110,004 shares of 5.75% Series H preference stock (cumulative, $2,500 liquidation value) to SCE Trust III, a special purpose entity formed to issue trust securities as discussed in Note 3. The Series H preference stock may be redeemed at par, in whole, but not in part, at any time prior to March 15, 2024 if certain changes in tax or investment company laws occur. After March 15, 2024, SCE may redeem the Series H shares at par, in whole or in part. After March 15, 2024, distributions will accrue and be payable at a floating rate. The shares are not subject to mandatory redemption. The proceeds from the sale of these shares are to be used to repay commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes.

Note 16.    Discontinued Operations
EME Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
In December 2012, EME and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court.
In February 2014, Edison International, EME and the Consenting Noteholders entered into a Settlement Agreement pursuant to which EME amended its Plan of Reorganization to incorporate the terms of the Settlement Agreement, including extinguishing all existing claims between EME and Edison International. The Amended Plan of Reorganization, including the Settlement Agreement, was approved by the Bankruptcy Court in March 2014 and was completed on April 1, 2014 with the sale of substantially all of EME’s assets to NRG Energy, Inc. and the transactions called for in the Settlement Agreement.
Under the Amended Plan of Reorganization, EME emerged from bankruptcy free of liabilities but remained an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Edison International, which will continue to be consolidated with Edison International for income tax purposes. On April 1, 2014, all of the assets and liabilities of EME that were not otherwise discharged in the bankruptcy or transferred to NRG Energy were transferred to a newly formed trust or entity under the control of EME’s existing creditors (the “Reorganization Trust”), except for (a) EME’s income tax attributes, which are retained by the Edison International consolidated income tax group; (b) certain tax and pension related liabilities in the approximate amount of $350 million, which have been assumed by Edison International and for substantially all of which Edison International had joint and several responsibility; and (c) EME’s indirect interest in Capistrano Wind Partners and a small hydroelectric project.
Edison International has agreed to pay to the Reorganization Trust an amount equal to 50% of EME’s federal and California income tax benefits, which were not previously paid to EME under a tax allocation agreement between Edison International and EME that expired on December 31, 2013 ("EME Tax Attributes") and which are estimated to be approximately $1.191 billion, subject to an estimate updating procedure set forth in the Settlement Agreement that is expected to take up to approximately six months from April 1, 2014. On April 1, 2014, Edison International paid the Reorganization Trust $225 million in cash and the balance will be paid in two installment payments to be made on September 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively. The amount of the two installment payments with interest of 5% per annum from April 1, 2014 will be fixed once the estimate of the EME Tax Attributes is completed but are currently estimated to be approximately $199 million and $210 million, respectively, including applicable interest. Assuming continuation of existing law and tax rates, Edison International also anticipates realization of the tax benefits over a period similar to the period for which it pays for them. Extension of bonus depreciation could defer realization of the benefits, and reduction of federal income tax rates could permanently reduce them. Pending the realization of the tax benefits, Edison International will finance the settlement from existing credit lines.

33



EME and the Reorganization Trust released Edison International and its subsidiaries, officers, directors, and representatives from all claims, except for those deriving from commercial arrangements between SCE and certain EME subsidiaries and for obligations arising under the Settlement Agreement. Edison International and its subsidiaries that directly and indirectly own EME provided a similar release to EME and the Reorganization Trust. Under the Amended Plan of Reorganization, Edison International and its subsidiaries are also the beneficiaries of orders of the Bankruptcy Court releasing them from claims of third parties in EME’s bankruptcy proceeding. As required in the Settlement Agreement, the Reorganization Trust set aside $50 million in escrow to secure its obligations to Edison International, including its obligation to protect against liabilities, if any, not discharged in the bankruptcy for which the Reorganization Trust remains responsible. Such escrowed amount will decline over time to zero on September 30, 2016.
The final estimate of EME Tax Attributes, which will fix Edison International’s installment obligations to the Reorganization Trust, may differ materially from the current estimate. Subject to the final determination of the EME Tax Attributes under the Settlement Agreement, Edison International anticipates that consolidated tax benefits it will retain will exceed the sum of liabilities it will assume and payments to the Reorganization Trust by approximately $200 million, and that the transactions contemplated by the Settlement Agreement, will result in its recording approximately $152 million in income in the second quarter of 2014, which is net of amounts recorded through March 31, 2014. Edison International has recorded deferred income tax benefits from EME, less a valuation allowance for amounts that would no longer be available had there been a tax deconsolidation of EME in the bankruptcy of approximately $198 million, and a $150 million provision for loss related to Edison International claims that had been filed against EME in the bankruptcy. The net impact of these items has been approximately $48 million through March 31, 2014 and recorded as part of discontinued operations.
As the transactions called for in the Settlement Agreement closed on April 1, 2014, it is accounted for as a subsequent event under GAAP and not reflected in the first quarter 2014 financial statements (referred to as a "Type II" subsequent event).

Edison International's earnings are prepared in accordance with GAAP used in the United States. Management uses core earnings internally for financial planning and for analysis of performance. Core earnings (losses) are also used when communicating with investors and analysts regarding Edison International's earnings results to facilitate comparisons of the Company's performance from period to period. Core earnings (losses) are a non-GAAP financial measure and may not be comparable to those of other companies. Core earnings (losses) are defined as earnings attributable to Edison International shareholders less income or loss from discontinued operations and income or loss from significant discrete items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings, such as: exit activities, including sale of certain assets, and other activities that are no longer continuing; asset impairments and certain tax, regulatory or legal settlements or proceedings. On December 17, 2012, EME and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. Edison International considers EME to be an abandoned asset under GAAP, and, as a result, the operations of EME prior to December 17, 2012 are reflected as discontinued operations.
SCE's first quarter 2014 core earnings increased $48 million 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 San Onofre.
Edison International Parent and Other's first quarter 2014 core losses increased $6 million primarily due to costs from new businesses, higher corporate expenses and higher income tax benefits recognized in the first quarter of 2013.
Consolidated non-core items for 2014 and 2013 for SCE and Edison International included:
Impairment and other charges of $231 million ($96 million after tax) in the first quarter of 2014 related to the San Onofre Settlement Agreement. For further information, see "—San Onofre Issues."

37



An income tax loss of $22 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to a benefit of $12 million for the first quarter of 2013, respectively, from revised estimates of the tax impact of a tax deconsolidation of EME from Edison International. Edison International continues to consolidate EME for federal and certain combined state tax returns. Changes in the amount of tax attributes during the first quarter of 2014 and 2013 affected income taxes of discontinued operations. For further information, see "—EME Chapter 11 Bankruptcy."
An income tax benefit of $7 million from reduction in state income taxes related to the sale of Edison Capital's interest in Unit No. 2 of the Beaver Valley Power plant. The sale of Edison Capital's lease interest was completed in 2012, however, the final determination of state income taxes paid was not completed until the first quarter of 2013 which resulted in a change in the estimate of state income taxes due.
San Onofre Issues
As discussed in the 2013 Form 10-K, replacement steam generators were installed at San Onofre in 2010 and 2011. On January 31, 2012, a water leak suddenly occurred in one of the heat transfer tubes in San Onofre's Unit 3 steam generators. The Unit was safely taken off-line and subsequent inspections revealed excessive tube to tube wear. At the time, Unit 2 was off-line for a planned outage when areas of unexpected tube to support structure wear were found. Later, evidence of tube to tube wear in Unit 2 was also discovered. On June 6, 2013, SCE decided to permanently retire Units 2 and 3.
Entry Into Settlement Agreement with Certain OII Parties
In October 2012 the CPUC issued an Order Instituting Investigation (“OII”) that consolidated all San Onofre issues in related CPUC regulatory proceedings to consider appropriate cost recovery for all San Onofre costs, including among other costs, the cost of the steam generator replacement project, substitute market power costs, capital expenditures, and operation and maintenance costs.
On March 27, 2014, SCE entered into a Settlement Agreement with The Utility Reform Network ("TURN"), the CPUC's Office of Ratepayer Advocates ("ORA") and SDG&E, which was later joined by the Coalition of California Utility Employees ("CUE") and Friends of the Earth ("FOE") (together, the “Settling Parties”). If implemented, the Settlement Agreement will constitute a complete and final resolution of the CPUC’s OII and related proceedings regarding the Steam Generator Replacement Project (“SGRP”) at San Onofre and the related outage and subsequent shutdown of San Onofre. The Settlement Agreement does not affect proceedings before the NRC or proceedings related to recoveries from third parties described below. Implementation of the Settlement Agreement is subject to the approval of the CPUC. The parties to the Settlement Agreement have agreed to exercise their best efforts to obtain CPUC approval. The Settlement Agreement is subject to termination by any of the Settling Parties if the CPUC has not approved it within six months of submission, but there can be no certainty of when or what the CPUC will actually decide. The following summary of the Settlement Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Settlement Agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to this report.
Disallowances, Refunds and Rate Recoveries
If the Settlement Agreement is approved, SCE will not be allowed to recover in rates its capitalized costs for the SGRP as of February 1, 2012 or a return on such investment after such date. As of February 1, 2012, SCE’s net book value in the SGRP was approximately $597 million. Additionally, SCE will not be allowed to recover in rates approximately $99 million of incremental inspection and repair costs incurred for the replacement steam generators (“RSGs”) in 2012 that were in excess of CPUC-authorized operations and maintenance expense. These costs, net of invoices paid, were previously expensed in SCE’s 2012 financial results, although they remain subject to recovery from the supplier of the RSGs. See “Third Party Recoveries” below. Neither will SCE be allowed to recover in rates provisionally authorized operations and maintenance expense in 2013 that exceeds amounts included in recorded operations and maintenance expense (including severance and incremental repair and inspection costs); such excess had not been recognized in 2013 earnings. Subject to the foregoing, SCE will be authorized to recover in rates its remaining investment in San Onofre, including base plant, materials and supplies, nuclear fuel inventory and contracts and construction work in progress (“CWIP”), generally over a ten-year period commencing February 1, 2012. Additionally, SCE will be authorized to recover in rates its provisionally authorized operations and maintenance expenses for 2012, recorded costs for the 2012 refueling outage of Unit 2, recorded operations and maintenance expenses for 2013, and recorded operations and maintenance expenses for 2014 subject to customary prudency review. Finally, SCE will also be authorized to recover in rates through its fuel and purchased power balancing account (“ERRA”) all costs incurred to purchase electric power in the market related to the outage and shutdown of San

38



Onofre, and to recover by December 31, 2015 any San Onofre-related ERRA undercollections. Estimated market power costs through June 6, 2013 (the date of San Onofre’s retirement) were approximately $680 million using the methodology followed in the OII. To the extent that amounts otherwise recoverable in rates under the Settlement Agreement are recovered from SCE’s Decommissioning Trust as a decommissioning cost, the amounts otherwise recoverable in rates will be reduced with no impact on earnings.
The portion of SCE’s San Onofre investment in base plant, CWIP and materials and supplies, which SCE is entitled to recover from February 1, 2012, will earn a return equal to the weighted average of SCE’s authorized return on debt and 50% of its authorized return on preferred equity, pro-rated to the percentage of the investment that equals SCE’s percentage of debt and preferred equity in its authorized capital structure. SCE will not earn a return on common equity on its amortizable San Onofre investment. Accordingly, SCE will be allowed to earn a rate of return of 2.95% in 2012, 2.62% for the period 2013 –2014 and a rate that will float during the amortization period thereafter with changes in SCE’s authorized return on debt and preferred equity. SCE’s investment in nuclear fuel will earn a return equal to commercial paper rates that SCE pays from time to time. Under the Settlement Agreement, the unamortized portion of SCE’s investment other than nuclear fuel may, at SCE’s option, be excluded from SCE’s capital structure for purposes of determining regulatory capital requirements. Had such exclusion applied as of March 31, 2014, SCE estimates that its common equity requirement would be reduced by more than $300 million.
A 5% incentive is provided for SCE to realize savings for ratepayers by selling materials and supplies and nuclear fuel, as well as reducing its nuclear fuel investment by contract cancellations. This incentive allows SCE to retain 5% of sales proceeds and to recover 5% of the excess of cancelled contract obligations over cancellation costs. The balance of sale proceeds and cancellation benefits is credited to ratepayers.
Third-Party Recoveries
The Settlement Agreement also addresses how potential recoveries from third parties will be allocated between ratepayers and SCE.
As discussed in the 2013 Form 10-K, San Onofre carries accidental property damage and carried accidental outage insurance issued by Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited ("NEIL") and has placed NEIL on notice of claims under both policies. The NEIL policies have a number of exclusions and limitations that NEIL may assert reduce or eliminate coverage, and SCE may choose to challenge NEIL’s application of any such exclusions and limitations. The estimated total claims under the accidental outage insurance through December 31, 2013 are approximately $409 million (SCE’s share of which is approximately $320 million). Accidental outage policy benefits are reduced by 90% for the periods following announcement of the permanent retirement of the Units. The accidental outage insurance at San Onofre has been canceled prospectively as a result of the permanent retirement. SCE has not submitted a proof of loss under the accidental property damage insurance. It is possible that the NEIL Board of Directors will make a coverage determination by the end of the second quarter of 2014, but it may take longer. No amounts have been recognized in SCE's financial statements, pending NEIL's response.
Under the Settlement Agreement, recoveries from NEIL, if any, will first be applied on and after December 31, 2014 to reimburse costs incurred in pursuing such recoveries, including litigation costs. To the extent SCE’s share of recoveries from NEIL exceed such costs, recoveries will be allocated 82.5% to ratepayers and 17.5% to SCE. SCE ratepayers’ portion of amounts recovered from NEIL would be distributed to SCE ratepayers via a credit to SCE’s ERRA account.
SCE is also pursuing claims against Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and related companies (“MHI”), which designed and supplied the RSGs. MHI warranted the RSGs for an initial period of 20 years from acceptance and is contractually obligated to repair or replace defective items with dispatch and to pay specified damages for certain repairs. MHI's liability under the purchase agreement is limited to $138 million and excludes consequential damages, defined to include "the cost of replacement power"; however, limitations in the contract are subject to applicable exceptions both in the contract and under law. SCE has advised MHI that it believes one or more of such exceptions apply and MHI's liability is not limited to $138 million, and MHI has advised SCE that it disagrees. In October 2013, after a prescribed 90-day waiting period from the service of an earlier notice of dispute, SCE sent MHI a formal request for binding arbitration under the auspices of the International Chamber of Commerce in accordance with the purchase contract seeking damages for all losses. In the request for arbitration, SCE alleges contract and tort claims and seeks at least $4 billion in damages on behalf of itself and its ratepayers and in its capacity as Operating Agent for San Onofre. MHI has denied any liability and has asserted counterclaims for $41 million, for which SCE has denied any liability. Each of the other co-owners filed lawsuits against MHI, alleging claims arising from MHI's supplying the faulty steam generators, which have been stayed pending the arbitration. SCE and MHI have agreed that the other co-owners (SDG&E and Riverside) may be added as additional claimants in the arbitration, with full party status.

39



SCE, on behalf of itself and the other San Onofre co-owners, has submitted seven invoices to MHI totaling $149 million for steam generator repair costs incurred through April 30, 2013. MHI paid the first invoice of $45 million, while reserving its right to challenge it and subsequently rejected a portion of the first invoice and has not paid further invoices, claiming further documentation is required, which SCE disputes. SCE recorded its share of the invoice paid (approximately $35 million) as a reduction of repair and inspection costs in 2012.
Under the Settlement Agreement, recoveries from MHI (including amounts paid by MHI under the first invoice), if any, will first be applied on and after December 31, 2014 to reimburse costs incurred in pursuing such recoveries, including litigation costs. To the extent SCE’s share of recoveries from MHI exceed such costs, they will be allocated between SCE and its ratepayers as follows:
85% to SCE and 15% to ratepayers for the first $100 million;
66.67% to SCE and 33.33% to ratepayers for the next $800 million; and
25% to SCE and 75% to ratepayers for any additional recoveries over $900 million.
The first $282 million of SCE’s ratepayers’ portion of such recoveries from MHI will be distributed to ratepayers via a credit to a sub-account of SCE’s Base Revenue Requirement Balancing Account ("BRRBA"), thus reducing revenue requirements from ratepayers. Amounts in excess of the first $282 million distributable to SCE ratepayers will reduce SCE’s regulatory asset represented by the unamortized balance of investment in San Onofre base plant, thereby reducing the revenue requirement needed to amortize such investment. The amortization period, however, will be unaffected. Additional amounts, if any, will first reduce the unamortized balance of remaining investment to zero and then be applied to the BRRBA.
The Settlement Agreement provides the utilities with the discretion to resolve the NEIL and MHI disputes without CPUC approval or review, but the utilities are obligated to use their best efforts to inform the CPUC of any settlement or other resolution of these disputes to the extent this is possible without compromising any aspect of the resolution. There is no assurance that there will be any recoveries from NEIL or MHI or that if there are recoveries, that they will exceed the costs incurred to pursue them. Were there to be recoveries, SCE cannot speculate when they would be received.
Accounting and Financial Impact
As discussed in the 2013 Form 10-K, due to the decision to early retire San Onofre Units 2 and 3, GAAP required reclassification of the amounts recorded in property, plant and equipment and related tangible operating assets to a regulatory asset to the extent that management concluded it was probable of recovery through future rates. Regulatory assets may also be recorded to the extent management concludes it is probable that direct and indirect costs incurred to retire Units 2 and 3 as of each reporting date are recoverable through future rates. In accordance with these requirements and as a result of its decision to retire San Onofre Units 2 and 3, SCE reclassified $1,521 million of its total investment in San Onofre at May 31, 2013 to a regulatory asset (“San Onofre Regulatory Asset”) and recorded an impairment charge of $575 million ($365 million after tax) in the second quarter of 2013. As of December 31, 2013, SCE had recorded a net regulatory asset of approximately $1.3 billion, comprised of $1.56 billion of property, plant and equipment, less $266 million for estimated refunds of authorized revenue recorded in excess of SCE’s costs of service.
As a result of the execution of the Settlement Agreement by the Settling Parties, SCE has concluded that the outcome of the OII that is more likely than any other outcome is approval and implementation of the Settlement Agreement, although approval by the CPUC remains uncertain. As a result, in the first quarter of 2014, SCE recorded an additional pre-tax charge of approximately $231 million (approximately $96 million after-tax). See “Results of Operations—Utility Earnings Activities” below for more information. Including the amounts recorded during the first quarter of 2014 and the amounts previously recorded in 2013, the total impact of the San Onofre Settlement is estimated at $806 million (approximately $461 million after-tax). The total pre-tax charge is due to:
the disallowance of the SGRP investment ($542 million as of May 31, 2013);
refund of revenue related to the SGRP previously recognized of $159 million; and
implementation of the other terms of the Settlement Agreement, including a refund of flow through tax benefits of $71 million and a refund of the authorized return in excess of the return allowed for non-SGRP investments. The refund of flow through tax benefits increased the pre-tax loss from SCE's initial estimate of $155 million. The refund was offset by recognition of tax benefits in an equal amount. The after-tax impact of the settlement was $96 million.


40



At March 31, 2014, the San Onofre Regulatory Asset was $1.37 billion and the San Onofre regulatory liability for refunds of revenue was approximately $371 million. Assuming the Settlement Agreement is approved, SCE does not expect implementation of rate recoveries and rate refunds contemplated by the Settlement Agreement will have a material impact on future net income. Such amounts do not reflect any recoveries from third parties by SCE.
Rate Impacts
To the extent that SCE collects in rates amounts that are in excess of the amounts recoverable under the Settlement Agreement, such amounts will be credited to SCE’s ERRA account, thereby reducing the undercollected balance that would otherwise be subject to rate recovery. SCE estimates that if the settlement had been implemented on March 31, 2014, the refund of revenue related to the SGRP, the refund of the difference between authorized and recorded operation and maintenance expenses for 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, the refund from the reduction of returns on the balance of its San Onofre investment and the other elements of the settlement would have resulted in a refund to ratepayers of approximately $256 million. SCE’s ERRA undercollection at March 31, 2014 was approximately $1.48 billion. See “—ERRA Balancing Account” below for more information.
As a result of the disallowances, refunds and reduced returns contemplated by the Settlement Agreement, SCE ratepayers will also have a reduction from the current level of authorized revenue set forth in SCE's 2012 General Rate Case. Calculation of the reduction of revenue requirement over any meaningful period of time is subject to a number of estimates and assumptions which may prove to be inaccurate. Subject to such uncertainty, SCE estimates that the present value of the revenue requirement that will be collected in rates under the Settlement Agreement will be more than $1 billion below the present value (using a 10% discount rate) of the revenue requirement that SCE had been seeking in the OII before the settlement.
Settlement Agreement Procedure
On April 3, 2014, the Settling Parties filed a motion in the OII requesting the CPUC to approve the Settlement Agreement without change, find the Settlement Agreement reasonable and expedite consideration of the Settlement Agreement in order to provide the benefits of it as soon as possible. The Settling Parties also urged the CPUC to stay further proceedings in the OII pending a determination on the Settlement Agreement and to withdraw the November 19, 2013 Proposed Decision on Phase 1 and Phase 1A issues in the OII. During the pendency of proceedings regarding the Settlement Agreement, the Settling Parties are further bound to support and mutually defend the Settlement Agreement in its entirety, oppose any modifications proposed by any non-settling party to the OII unless all Settling Parties agree, and cooperate reasonably on all submissions. The Settling Parties further agree to review any CPUC orders regarding the Settlement Agreement to determine if the CPUC has changed or modified it, deleted a term or imposed a new term. If any Settling Party is unwilling to accept any such change, modification, deletion or addition of a new term, then the Settling Parties will negotiate in good faith to seek a resolution acceptable to all Settling Parties. If they are unable to resolve the matter to the satisfaction of all Settling Parties or to obtain prompt CPUC approval of an agreed upon resolution, then any Settling Party can terminate the Settlement Agreement upon prompt notice.
Under CPUC rules, parties in the OII will have an opportunity to comment on the Settlement Agreement, and if there are objections raising factual issues, then the CPUC’s review may include evidentiary proceedings. CPUC rules do not provide for any fixed time period for the CPUC to act on the Settlement Agreement. The CPUC has stated that it will hold an evidentiary hearing in mid-May 2014 and has directed the Settling Parties to hold a community meeting in June 2014 to present the settlement to the public. Pursuant to the CPUC’s rules, no settlement becomes binding on the parties to it unless the CPUC approves the settlement based on a finding that it is reasonable in light of the whole record, consistent with law, and in the public interest. The CPUC has discretion to approve or disapprove a settlement, or to condition its approval on changes to the settlement, which the parties may accept or reject.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance regarding the timing of any CPUC decision or that the CPUC will approve the Settlement Agreement or refrain from making changes to it that are not acceptable to all the Settling Parties. Thus, there can be no assurance that the OII proceeding will provide for recoveries as currently estimated by SCE in accordance with the Settlement Agreement, including the recovery of costs recorded as a regulatory asset, or that the CPUC does not order refunds to customers above those contemplated by the Settlement Agreement. Therefore, the amount recorded for the San Onofre Regulatory Asset is subject to further change based upon future developments and the application of SCE’s judgment to those events.
Continuing NRC Proceedings
As part of the NRC's review of the San Onofre outage and proceedings related to the possible restart of Unit 2, the NRC appointed an Augmented Inspection Team to review SCE's performance. In December 2013, the NRC finalized an Inspection Report in connection with The Augmented Inspection Team’s review and SCE’s response to an earlier NRC Confirmatory

41



Action Letter. The NRC’s report contained a preliminary “white” finding (low to moderate safety significance) and an apparent violation regarding the steam generators in Unit 3 and a preliminary “green” finding (very low safety significance) for Unit 2’s steam generators for failing to ensure that MHI’s modeling and analysis were adequate. The NRC also issued an Inspection Report to MHI containing a Notice of Nonconformance for its flawed computer modeling in the design of San Onofre’s steam generators. In addition, the NRC's Office of Investigations has been conducting an investigation into the accuracy and completeness of information SCE provided to the Augmented Inspection Team. SCE has also been made aware of an investigation related to San Onofre by the NRC's Office of Inspector General, which generally reviews internal NRC affairs. Certain anti-nuclear groups and individual members of Congress have alleged that SCE knew of deficiencies in the steam generators when they were installed or otherwise did not correctly follow NRC requirements in connection with the design and installation of the replacement steam generators, something which SCE has vigorously denied, and have called for investigations, including by the Department of Justice. SCE cannot predict when or whether ongoing inquiries or investigations by the NRC will be completed or whether inquiries by other government agencies will be initiated. Should the NRC find a deficiency in SCE's provision of information, SCE could be subject to additional NRC actions, including the imposition of penalties, and the findings could be taken into consideration in the CPUC regulatory proceedings described above.
Decommissioning
As discussed in the 2013 Form 10-K, the decommissioning of a nuclear plant requires the management of three related activities: radiological decommissioning, non-radiological decommissioning and the management of spent nuclear fuel. The decommissioning process may take many years as is expected at San Onofre.
SCE has nuclear decommissioning trust funds for San Onofre Units 2 and 3 of $3.3 billion as of March 31, 2014, which is comprised of annual contributions made through rates and earnings on the trust funds’ balances. Other than the use of funds for the planning of radiological decommissioning (up to a maximum of 3% of a generic formula amount under NRC regulations, or $31 million), the CPUC must issue an order granting prior approval for withdrawal of decommissioning trust funds to be used for radiological decommissioning, non-radiological decommissioning and spent fuel management. The CPUC's authority to authorize the use of trust funds for decommissioning activities is provided by the Nuclear Facility Decommissioning Act of 1985. SCE has filed a request with the CPUC to authorize early release of trust funds for costs up to a specified cost cap of $214 million to cover SCE's share of 2013 decommissioning costs. The request also seeks CPUC approval for a process by which SCE will be able to seek the release of trust funds to cover decommissioning costs incurred in 2014 and future periods until the CPUC approves a permanent San Onofre decommissioning plan and cost recovery mechanism.
ERRA Balancing Account
Rates related to fuel and purchased power are set annually based on a forecast of the costs SCE expects to incur in the following year. Actual fuel and power costs that are either greater or less than the forecast are tracked in the ERRA balancing account and collected from or refunded to customers in subsequent periods depending upon whether the balancing account is under collected or over collected. Until November 2013, SCE continued to recover in rates amounts that had been authorized in the 2012 ERRA proceeding and which were significantly below the costs actually incurred, resulting in a significant undercollection in the balancing account. In October 2013, the CPUC issued a decision on SCE's 2013 ERRA forecast that approved a portion of SCE's 2013 ERRA forecast and allowed SCE to increase rates by approximately $160 million. Under this decision, SCE was required to defer collection of its San Onofre-related replacement power costs that exceeded those estimated in the 2013 ERRA forecast filing pending the review of such costs in the San Onofre OII proceeding.
In March 2014, the CPUC issued a proposed decision in the 2014 ERRA forecast proceeding that adopted SCE's requested increase of $1.12 billion and deferred collection of $467 million of San Onofre-related replacement power costs incurred through 2013 until resolution of such costs in the San Onofre OII proceeding consistent with the CPUC decision in the 2013 ERRA forecast proceeding. SCE anticipates a final decision in the 2014 ERRA forecast proceeding in the second quarter of 2014 and expects to implement the decision before the end of the second quarter of 2014.
As of March 31, 2014, SCE's fuel and power procurement-related costs were under-collected by $1.48 billion compared to $1 billion at December 31, 2013. Fuel and power procurement costs during 2014 are currently forecasted to exceed the amounts requested in the 2014 ERRA proceeding primarily due to higher natural gas and power prices. Actual natural gas and power costs may vary from the forecast.

42



The ERRA undercollection balance is expected to begin decreasing assuming:
approval of a rate increase from the 2014 ERRA forecast proceeding consistent with the proposed decision discussed above;
approval of the application of refunds provided for in the San Onofre Settlement Agreement, including refunds related to the SGRP and authorized revenue in excess of SCE cost of service during 2013 and 2014 as discussed above under the heading “—San Onofre Issues;” and
approval of SCE’s request to classify the majority of costs incurred at San Onofre since June 7, 2013 as decommissioning costs and reimbursement from SCE’s nuclear decommissioning trust.
These decreases may be partially offset by higher than forecasted natural gas and power prices. SCE may finance unrecovered power procurement-related costs with commercial paper or other borrowing, subject to availability in the capital markets. Delays in approval of rate increases to recover undercollection of fuel and purchase power costs would adversely impact SCE’s liquidity.
2015 General Rate Case
As discussed in the year-ended 2013 MD&A, in November 2013, SCE filed its 2015 GRC application requesting a 2015 base rate revenue requirement of $6.462 billion, which was subsequently reduced in April 2014 to $5.860 billion to remove costs related to Four Corners and San Onofre, as directed by the ALJs assigned to the case. SCE's revised request would be a $227 million increase over currently authorized base rate revenue. The application also proposed post-test year increases in 2016 and 2017 of $321 million and $330 million, respectively. The ALJs have set a schedule for hearings that does not set a date for the issuance of a final 2015 GRC decision. SCE cannot predict the revenue requirement the CPUC will ultimately authorize or when a final decision will be adopted.
Capital Program
During the first three months of 2014, SCE's capital program continued to emphasize projects for maintaining reliability and expanding the capability of SCE's transmission and distribution system; upgrading and constructing new transmission lines and substations for system reliability and increased access to renewable energy; and maintaining performance of SCE's natural gas, and hydro-electric generating plants. Total capital expenditures (including accruals) were $684 million and $814 million for the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively.
SCE continues to project that 2014 capital expenditures will be in the range of $3.6 billion to $4.1 billion. SCE forecasts capital expenditures in the range of $15.1 billion to $17.2 billion for 2014 – 2017. Actual capital spending will be affected by: changes in regulatory, environmental and engineering design requirements; permitting and project delays; cost and availability of labor, equipment and materials; and other factors.
EME Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
As discussed in the 2013 Form 10-K, in December 2012, EME and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court.
In February 2014, Edison International, EME and the Consenting Noteholders entered into a Settlement Agreement pursuant to which EME amended its Plan of Reorganization to incorporate the terms of the Settlement Agreement, including extinguishing all existing claims between EME and Edison International. The Amended Plan of Reorganization, including the Settlement Agreement, was approved by the Bankruptcy Court in March 2014 and was completed on April 1, 2014 with the sale of substantially all of EME’s assets to NRG Energy, Inc. and the transactions called for in the Settlement Agreement.
Under the Amended Plan of Reorganization, EME emerged from bankruptcy free of liabilities but remained an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Edison International, which will continue to be consolidated with Edison International for income tax purposes. On April 1, 2014, all of the assets and liabilities of EME that were not otherwise discharged in the bankruptcy or transferred to NRG Energy were transferred to a newly formed trust or entity under the control of EME’s existing creditors (the “Reorganization Trust”), except for (a) EME’s income tax attributes, which are retained by the Edison International consolidated income tax group; (b) certain tax and pension related liabilities in the approximate amount of $350 million, which have been assumed by Edison International and for substantially all of which Edison International had joint and several responsibility; and (c) EME’s indirect interest in Capistrano Wind Partners and a small hydroelectric project.

43



On April 1, 2014, Edison International paid the Reorganization Trust $225 million in cash. The balance will be paid in two installment payments to be made on September 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively. The amount of the two installment payments with interest of 5% per annum from April 1, 2014 will be fixed once the estimate of the EME tax attributes is completed but are currently estimated to be approximately $199 million and $210 million, respectively, including applicable interest. Assuming continuation of existing law and tax rates, Edison International also anticipates realization of the tax benefits over a period similar to the period for which it pays for them. Extension of bonus depreciation could defer realization of the benefits, and reduction of federal income tax rates could permanently reduce them. Pending the realization of the tax benefits, Edison International will finance the settlement from existing credit lines. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 16. Discontinued Operations" for additional information related to these bankruptcy proceedings.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Southern California Edison Company
SCE's results of operations are derived mainly through two sources:
Utility earning activities – representing revenue authorized by the CPUC and FERC which is intended to provide SCE a reasonable opportunity to recover its costs and earn a return on its net investment in generation, transmission and distribution assets. The annual revenue requirements are comprised of authorized operation and maintenance costs, depreciation, taxes and a return consistent with the capital structure. Also, included in utility earnings activities are revenue or penalties related to incentive mechanisms, other operating revenue, and regulatory charges or disallowances, if any.
Utility cost-recovery activities – representing CPUC- and FERC-authorized balancing accounts which allow for recovery of specific project or program costs, subject to reasonableness review or compliance with upfront standards. Utility cost-recovery activities include rates which provide recovery, subject to reasonableness review of, among other things, fuel costs, purchased power costs, public purpose related-program costs (including energy efficiency and demand-side management programs), certain operation and maintenance expenses and nuclear decommissioning expenses.
The following table is a summary of SCE's results of operations for the periods indicated. The presentation below separately identifies utility earning activities and utility cost-recovery activities.

Utility Earning Activities
Operating revenue was primarily affected by the following:
An increase in CPUC-related revenue of $55 million primarily related to the increase in authorized revenue to support rate base growth partially offset by lower revenue in 2014 due to the sale of SCE's ownership interest in the Four Corners Generating Station in December 2013.
An increase in FERC-related revenue of $30 million primarily related to rate base growth and higher operating costs.
A decrease in San Onofre-related estimated revenue of $82 million, as discussed below.
Lower operation and maintenance expense of $77 million primarily due to a decrease in San Onofre-related expense of $43 million, as discussed below, and lower expense in 2014 due to the sale of Four Corners in December 2013. In addition, in the first quarter of 2013, SCE recorded $16 million of severance costs due to the reductions in workforce (excluding San Onofre) that commenced in 2012.
Higher depreciation, decommissioning and amortization expense of $4 million primarily due to a decrease in San Onofre-related expense of $35 million, as discussed below, and a $31 million increase in depreciation related to transmission and distribution investments, including capitalized software costs.
Lower interest income and other of $6 million primarily due to lower AFUDC equity related to lower rates and construction work in progress balances in 2014, including SCE no longer accruing AFUDC on construction work in progress balances for San Onofre, pending the outcome of the San Onofre OII.
Higher interest expense of $11 million primarily due to higher balances on long-term debt to support rate base growth and lower AFUDC debt due to lower rates and construction work in progress balances in 2014.
Lower income taxes of $124 million primarily due to lower pre-tax income and income tax benefits from the San Onofre Settlement Agreement, as discussed below. See "—Income Taxes" below for more information.
On June 6, 2013, SCE decided to permanently retire San Onofre Units 2 and 3. On March 27, 2014, SCE entered into a Settlement Agreement to resolve CPUC regulatory issues associated with San Onofre and the failure of its replacement steam generators. See "Management Overview—San Onofre Issues" above for more information. The following table summarizes the results of operations attributable to the San Onofre plant for the first quarter of 2014 and 2013:

Utility Cost-Recovery Activities
Utility cost-recovery activities were primarily affected by the following:
Higher fuel and purchased power expense of $290 million was primarily driven by higher power and gas prices experienced in 2014 relative to 2013, and higher realized losses on economic hedging activities, partially offset by lower fuel expense in 2014 due to the sale of Four Corners in December 2013.

45



Supplemental Operating Revenue Information
SCE's retail billed and unbilled revenue (excluding wholesale sales and balancing account overcollections/undercollections) was $2.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Retail billed and unbilled revenue reflects a slight sales volume decrease, primarily due to lower load requirements due to warmer weather experienced in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period last year.
As a result of the CPUC-authorized decoupling mechanism, SCE earnings are not affected by changes in retail electricity sales (see "Item 1. Business—Overview of Ratemaking Process" in the 2013 Form 10-K).
Income Taxes
SCE’s income tax provision decreased by $124 million during the first quarter of 2014 compared to same period in 2013. The effective tax rates were (5.4)% and 28.4% for three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The effective tax rate decrease in 2014 was primarily due to lower pre-tax income and income tax benefits from the San Onofre Settlement Agreement. See "Management Overview—San Onofre Issues" above and "Item 1. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 7. Income Taxes" for more information.
The CPUC requires flow-through ratemaking treatment for the current tax benefit arising from certain property-related and other temporary differences, which reverse over time. The accounting treatment for these temporary differences results in recording regulatory assets and liabilities for amounts that would otherwise be recorded to deferred income tax expense.
See "Item 1. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 7. Income Taxes" for a reconciliation of the federal statutory rate of 35% to the effective income tax rates.
Edison International Parent and Other
Results of operations for Edison International Parent and Other include amounts from other Edison International subsidiaries that are not significant as a reportable segment, as well as intercompany eliminations.
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations (Net of Tax)
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $22 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to income of $12 million for the respective period in 2013. The 2014 loss and 2013 income from discontinued operations resulted from revised estimates of the tax impact of expected future deconsolidation and separation of EME from Edison International (see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 16. Discontinued Operations" for further information).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Southern California Edison Company
SCE's ability to operate its business, fund capital expenditures, and implement its business strategy is dependent upon its cash flow and access to the capital markets. SCE's overall cash flows fluctuate based on, among other things, its ability to recover its costs in a timely manner from its customers through regulated rates, changes in commodity prices and volumes, collateral requirements, interest obligations and dividend payments to Edison International, and the outcome of tax and regulatory matters.
SCE expects to fund its 2014 obligations, capital expenditures and dividends through operating cash flows, and capital market financings of debt and preferred equity, as needed. SCE also has availability under its credit facilities to fund requirements.
Available Liquidity
At March 31, 2014, SCE had a $2.75 billion multi-year revolving credit facility, for further details see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."
SCE's cash flows are affected by regulatory balancing accounts overcollections or undercollections. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, SCE had net regulatory balancing account overcollections of $62 million and $554 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to higher undercollections related to fuel and procurement-related costs. See "Management Overview—ERRA Balancing Account" for further information. SCE may finance unrecovered power procurement-related costs as well as other balancing account undercollections and working capital requirements to support operations and capital expenditures with commercial paper or other borrowings, subject to availability in the capital markets.


46



Debt Covenant
The debt covenant in SCE's credit facility limits its debt to total capitalization ratio to less than or equal to 0.65 to 1. At March 31, 2014, SCE's debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.46 to 1.
Dividend Restrictions
The CPUC regulates SCE's capital structure which limits the dividends it may pay Edison International. SCE may make distributions to Edison International as long as the common equity component of SCE's capital structure remains at or above 48% on a 13-month weighted average basis. At March 31, 2014, SCE's 13-month weighted-average common equity component of total capitalization was 48.9% and the maximum additional dividend that SCE could pay to Edison International under this limitation was approximately $192 million, resulting in a restriction on net assets of approximately $12.29 billion.
In February 2014, SCE declared a dividend to Edison International of $126 million which will be paid in the second quarter of 2014. Future dividend amounts and timing of distributions are dependent upon several factors including the level of capital expenditures, operating cash flows and earnings.
Margin and Collateral Deposits
Certain derivative instruments, power procurement contracts and other contractual arrangements contain collateral requirements. Future collateral requirements may differ from the requirements at March 31, 2014, due to the addition of incremental power and energy procurement contracts with collateral requirements, if any, and the impact of changes in wholesale power and natural gas prices on SCE's contractual obligations.
Some of the power procurement contracts contain provisions that require SCE to maintain an investment grade credit rating from the major credit rating agencies. If SCE's credit rating were to fall below investment grade, SCE may be required to pay the liability or post additional collateral.
The table below provides the amount of collateral posted by SCE to its counterparties as well as the potential collateral that would be required as of March 31, 2014.

2 
SCE does not project a material increase in the total posted and potential collateral requirements based on SCE's forward positions as of March 31, 2014 due to adverse market price movements over the remaining lives of the existing power procurement contracts using a 95% confidence level.
Edison International Parent and Other
Edison International Parent and Other's liquidity and its ability to pay operating expenses and dividends to common shareholders is dependent on dividends from SCE and access to bank and capital markets.
At March 31, 2014, Edison International Parent had a $1.25 billion multi-year revolving credit facility, for further details, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements." Edison International may finance working capital requirements to support operations and capital expenditures with commercial paper or other borrowings, subject to availability in capital markets.
The debt covenant in Edison International Parent's credit facility requires a consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio of less than or equal to 0.65 to 1. At March 31, 2014, Edison International Parent's consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.48 to 1.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $40 million during the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to the following:
$330 million decrease in balancing accounts primarily composed of:
$240 million decrease resulting from higher ERRA balancing account undercollections for fuel and power procurement-related costs in 2014 compared to 2013. The change in the ERRA balancing account decreased operating cash flows by $472 million in 2014 compared to a decrease in operating cash flows of $232 million in 2013.
$90 million decrease primarily due to increased spending and lower funding of public purpose and energy efficiency programs.
higher cash inflow of $90 million due to cash collected in excess of cost of service for San Onofre.
higher cash inflow of $55 million due to the increase in pre-tax income, before depreciation and impairment and other charges, primarily driven by the increase in authorized revenue.
timing of cash receipts and disbursements related to working capital items, including a decrease in customer accounts receivable of approximately $115 million due to lower kWh sales. In addition, SCE had workforce reduction severance costs paid of $10 million and $61 million during the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Net Cash Used by Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities are primarily due to capital expenditures and funding of nuclear decommissioning trusts. Capital expenditures were $939 million and $979 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily related to transmission, distribution and generation investments. Net purchases of nuclear decommissioning trust investments and other was $34 million and $31 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Net Cash Used by Continuing Activities
Net cash used by operating activities increased $32 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to 2013 due to the timing of payments and receipts relating to interest, operating costs and income taxes.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the first quarter of 2014 were as follows:
Paid $116 million of dividends to Edison International common shareholders; and
Borrowed $172 million of short-term debt (net) to fund interim working capital requirements.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the first quarter of 2013 were as follows:
Paid $110 million of dividends to Edison International common shareholders;
Received $120 million of dividend payments from SCE; and
Borrowed $16 million under Edison International Parent's line of credit to fund interim working capital requirements.
Contingencies
Edison International has a contingency related to the EME Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and SCE has contingencies related to San Onofre, San Gabriel Valley Windstorm Investigation, Four Corners Environmental Matters, Nuclear Insurance, Wildfire Insurance and Spent Nuclear Fuel which are discussed in "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies."
Environmental Remediation
As of March 31, 2014, SCE had identified 19 material sites for remediation and recorded an estimated minimum liability of $112 million. SCE expects to recover 90% of its remediation costs at certain sites. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies" for further discussion.
MARKET RISK EXPOSURES
Edison International and SCE's primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates, commodity prices and volumes, and counterparty credit. Fluctuations in interest rates can affect earnings and cash flows. Fluctuations in commodity prices and volumes and counterparty credit losses may temporarily affect cash flows, but are not expected to affect earnings due to expected recovery through regulatory mechanisms. Derivative instruments are used, as appropriate, to manage market risks including market risks of SCE's customers. For a further discussion of market risk exposures, including commodity price risk, credit risk and interest rate risk, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 6. Derivative Instruments" and "—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements."

49



Commodity Price Risk
The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments used to mitigate exposure to commodity price risk was a net liability of $776 million and $821 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 respectively. For further discussion of fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements."
Credit Risk
Credit risk exposure from counterparties for power and gas trading activities is measured as the sum of net accounts receivable (accounts receivable less accounts payable) and the current fair value of net derivative assets (derivative assets less derivative liabilities) reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. SCE enters into master agreements which typically provide for a right of setoff. Accordingly, SCE's credit risk exposure from counterparties is based on a net exposure under these arrangements. SCE manages the credit risk on the portfolio for both rated and non-rated counterparties based on credit ratings using published ratings of counterparties and other publicly disclosed information, such as financial statements, regulatory filings, and press releases, to guide it in the process of setting credit levels, risk limits and contractual arrangements, including master netting agreements.
As of March 31, 2014, the amount of balance sheet exposure as described above broken down by the credit ratings of SCE's counterparties, was as follows:
