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 non-core items. Non-core items include income or loss from discontinued operations, income resulting from allocation of losses to tax equity investors under the hypothetical liquidation at book value ("HLBV") accounting method 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, write downs, asset impairments and other gains and losses related to certain tax, regulatory or legal settlements or proceedings.
SCE's earnings for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased by $69 million and $88 million, respectively, which includes lower income tax benefits partially offset by the implementation of the 2015 GRC decision and 2016 incremental return on the pole loading rate base. The year-to-date variance also includes higher operation and maintenance costs.
During the second quarter of 2015, SCE recorded $100 million of income tax benefits from revisions to liabilities for uncertain tax positions (see "Results of Operations" for further information).

4



During the first six months of 2015, pending the outcome of the 2015 GRC decision, SCE recognized GRC-related revenue largely based on the 2014 authorized revenue requirement. During the third and fourth quarters of 2015, SCE recorded revenue refunds to customers which totaled $451 million to reflect the final decision in the 2015 GRC. The estimated amount of the refund to customers attributable to the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, but subsequently recorded in 2015, was approximately $35 million ($21 million after-tax) and $70 million ($42 million after-tax), respectively. In addition, SCE's results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 included an increase in revenue of approximately $50 million ($30 million after-tax) and $96 million ($57 million after-tax), respectively, from the escalation mechanism set forth in the final 2015 GRC decision. The annual escalation increase implemented in customer rates for 2016 was $203 million. SCE's results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were largely based on 2014 authorized base revenue requirements included in customer rates.
Edison International Parent and Other losses from continuing operations for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016 increased by $32 million and $43 million, respectively. Losses for the second quarter consisted of $33 million of higher core losses and $1 million of higher non-core earnings. Losses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 consisted of $41 million of higher core losses and $2 million of lower non-core earnings. During the second quarter of 2016, Edison International Parent and Other recorded an after-tax charge of $13 million related to the buy-out of an earn-out provision with the former shareholders of a company acquired by Edison Energy at the end of 2015. The buy-out was completed, together with modification to employment contracts, in order to align long-term incentive compensation. In addition, core losses included higher operating and development costs and lower revenue and gross margin from the sale of solar systems at Edison Energy Group. Results during 2015 included income from Edison Capital's investments in affordable housing projects which were sold at the end of 2015.
Consolidated non-core items included income of $2 million and $4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to income of $1 million and $6 million for the same periods in 2015. The income was related to losses (net of distributions) allocated to tax equity investors under the HLBV accounting method. Edison International reflected in core earnings the operating results of the solar rooftop projects, related financings and the priority return to the tax equity investor. The losses allocated to the tax equity investor under HLBV accounting method results in income allocated to subsidiaries of Edison International, neither of which is due to the operating performance of the projects but rather due to the allocation of income tax attributes under the tax equity financing. Accordingly, Edison International has included the non-operating allocation of income as a non-core item. For further information on HLBV, see the 2015 Form 10-K, "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."
Capital Program
SCE forecasts capital expenditures for 2016 – 2017 in the range of $7.9 billion to $8.1 billion. The low end of the range reflects a 12% reduction in FERC projects using management judgment, based on historical experience. SCE's 2016 – 2017 forecast for major capital expenditures are set forth in the table below:

Capital expenditures for projects under CPUC jurisdiction are recovered through the authorized revenue requirement in SCE's GRC or through other CPUC-authorized mechanisms. Recovery for 2016 – 2017 planned expenditures for projects under FERC jurisdiction will be pursued through FERC-authorized mechanisms.
SCE is experiencing delays, mainly due to licensing, with certain of its transmission projects, notably the Riverside Transmission Reliability Project, Alberhill System and Mesa Substation. As a result, approximately $300 million of 2016 capital expenditures have been delayed. Approximately $100 million of these capital expenditures will be made up in 2017 and the remaining $200 million will be reflected in our forecast once SCE files its 2018 GRC application. SCE will file its 2018 GRC application in September 2016, which will include a forecast of capital expenditures and rate base for 2018 – 2020.

5



Changes to the route or location, adoption of any undergrounding options or other significant modification to the licensing or construction plans could create additional costs and further delay the completion of the projects discussed above. For further information regarding the capital program, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Investment Plan" and the year-ended 2015 MD&A, "Management Overview—Capital Program."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Southern California Edison Company
SCE's results of operations are derived mainly through two sources:
•
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 earnings activities are revenue or penalties related to incentive mechanisms, other operating revenue, and regulatory charges or disallowances.
•
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. 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) and certain operation and maintenance expenses.
The following table is a summary of SCE's results of operations for the periods indicated.

Earning Activities
Earning activities were primarily affected by the following:
•
Lower operating revenue of $87 million primarily due to the following:
•
During the second quarter of 2016, SCE recorded a revenue refund to customers of $133 million for 2012 – 2014 incremental tax benefits related to repair deductions (offset in income taxes as discussed below). This revenue refund resulted from the CPUC's approval of SCE's request to refund incremental tax repair deductions that were not addressed in SCE's 2015 GRC decision. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Regulatory Proceedings—Tax Repair Deductions and Memorandum Account" for further information.
•
A decrease in revenue of approximately $20 million for 2016 incremental tax benefits recognized through the tax accounting memorandum account ("TAMA") and the pole loading balancing account (offset in income taxes as discussed below). In addition, in 2016, SCE recorded $15 million ($9 million after-tax) of incremental return on the pole loading rate base in this balancing account. During the second quarter of 2015, there was no incremental return on pole loading rate base due to the timing of the final GRC decision.
•
An increase in FERC-related revenue of $19 million primarily due to higher operating costs including amortization of the regulatory asset associated with the Coolwater-Lugo transmission project (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Investment Plan—Major Transmission Projects—Coolwater-Lugo" for further information) and rate base growth partially offset by a $15 million increase in 2015 revenue due to a change in estimate under the FERC formula rate mechanism.
•
An increase in CPUC revenue of approximately $15 million primarily due to the implementation of the 2015 GRC decision. During the second quarter of 2016, SCE increased authorized revenue approximately $50 million based on the escalation mechanism set forth in the 2015 GRC decision. This increase was partially offset by approximately $35 million of the refund to customers attributable to the second quarter of 2015 as a result of the finalization of the 2015 GRC decision (see "Highlights of Operating Results" for further information).
•
An increase of $9 million primarily due to tax benefits recognized in 2015 related to net operating loss carrybacks for San Onofre decommissioning costs resulting in a reduction in revenue in 2015 (offset in income taxes).
•
Lower operation and maintenance costs of $3 million primarily related to lower labor costs due to the workforce reductions and lower legal costs. These lower costs were partially offset by a planned outage and upgrades at the Mountainview plant and costs associated with the pole loading program. The pole loading program costs are recovered in revenue (for further information see the year-ended 2015 MD&A, "Management Overview—Regulatory Proceedings—2015 General Rate Case").
•
Higher depreciation, decommissioning and amortization expense of $22 million primarily related to depreciation on transmission and distribution investments and amortization of the regulatory asset related to the Coolwater-Lugo, as discussed above.
•
Higher other income and expenses of $9 million primarily due to higher insurance benefits in 2016. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14. Interest and Other Income and Other Expenses" for further details.
•
Lower income taxes of $36 million primarily due to lower pre-tax income and the following discrete items:
•
Higher income tax benefits in 2016 primarily related to $79 million of flow-through incremental tax benefits for 2012 – 2014 to customers and $12 million of repair deductions for TAMA and pole loading balancing accounts (both offset in revenue above).
•
A change in liabilities related to uncertain tax positions related to repair deductions, which resulted in income tax benefits of $100 million during the second quarter of 2015.
Cost-Recovery Activities
Cost-recovery activities were primarily affected by the following:
•
Lower operation and maintenance expense of $34 million primarily due to lower transmission access charges and lower spending on various public purpose programs.

Earning Activities
Utility earning activities were primarily affected by the following:
•
Lower operating revenue of $128 million primarily due to the following:
•
During the second quarter of 2016, SCE recorded a revenue refund to customers of $133 million for 2012 – 2014 incremental tax benefits related to repair deductions, as discussed above (offset in income taxes below).
•
A decrease in revenue of approximately $95 million for 2016 incremental tax benefits recognized through the tax accounting memorandum account ("TAMA") and the pole loading balancing account (offset in income taxes as discussed below). In addition, SCE recorded $26 million ($15 million after-tax) of incremental return on the pole loading rate base recorded through this balancing account. During the first six months of 2015, there was no incremental return on pole loading rate base due to the timing of the final 2015 GRC decision.
•
An increase in CPUC revenue of approximately $26 million primarily due to the implementation of the 2015 GRC decision. During the first six months of 2016, SCE increased authorized revenue approximately $96 million based on the escalation mechanism set forth in the 2015 GRC decision. This increase was partially offset by approximately $70 million of the refund to customers attributable to the second quarter of 2015 as a result of the finalization of the 2015 GRC decision (see "Highlights of Operating Results" for further information).
•
An increase in FERC-related revenue of $32 million primarily related to higher operating costs including amortization of the regulatory asset associated with the Coolwater-Lugo transmission project and rate base growth partially offset by a $15 million increase in 2015 revenue due to a change in estimate under the FERC formula rate mechanism.
•
An increase of $15 million primarily due to tax benefits recognized in 2015 related to net operating loss carrybacks for San Onofre decommissioning costs resulting in a reduction in revenue in 2015 (offset in income taxes).
•
Higher operation and maintenance expense of $17 million primarily due:
•
An increase of $10 million related to transmission and distribution costs for storm-related activities.
•
An increase of $10 million related to the pole loading program, which is recovered in revenue.

8



•
An increase of $8 million related to a planned outage and upgrades at the Mountainview plant.
•
A decrease of $11 million of lower operating costs primarily related to lower labor costs due to the workforce reductions.
•
Higher depreciation, decommissioning and amortization expense of $35 million primarily related to depreciation on transmission and distribution investments and amortization of the regulatory asset related to the Coolwater-Lugo plant, as discussed above.
•
Higher other income and expenses of $7 million, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14. Interest and Other Income and Other Expenses" for details.
•
Lower income taxes of $94 million primarily due to lower pre-tax income and the following discrete items:
•
Higher income tax benefits in 2016 primarily related to $79 million related to the flow-through of incremental tax benefits for 2012 – 2014 to customers and $56 million of repair deductions for TAMA and pole loading balancing accounts (both offset in revenue above). These items were partially offset by lower tax benefits on other property-related items in 2016.
•
A change in liabilities related to uncertain tax positions related to repair deductions, which resulted in income tax benefits of $100 million during the second quarter of 2015.
Cost-Recovery Activities
Cost-recovery activities were primarily affected by the following:
•
Lower operation and maintenance expense of $73 million primarily due to lower transmission access charges, lower benefit costs, and lower spending on various public purpose programs.
Supplemental Operating Revenue Information
SCE's retail billed and unbilled revenue (excluding wholesale sales and balancing account overcollections/undercollections) was $2.5 billion and $4.9 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to $2.8 billion and $5.4 billion for the respective periods in 2015.
•
Retail billed and unbilled revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were lower compared to the same period last year primarily due to a rate decrease of $264 million. The decrease was due to implementations of the 2016 ERRA rate decrease and the 2015 GRC decision in January 2016.
•
Retail billed and unbilled revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 reflects a rate decrease of $400 million and a sales volume decrease of $40 million. The rate decrease is primarily due to implementations of the 2016 ERRA rate decrease and the 2015 GRC decision in January 2016. The sales volume decrease is primarily due to lower load requirements related to solar generation and energy efficiency programs.
As a result of the CPUC-authorized decoupling mechanism, SCE earnings are not affected by changes in retail electricity sales (see "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process" in the 2015 Form 10-K).
Income Taxes
SCE's income tax provision decreased by $36 million and $94 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015.
The effective tax rates were (9.1)% and 1.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The effective tax rates were 3.1% and 13.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. SCE's effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate primarily due to income tax benefits related to repair deductions, mainly due to flow-through income tax benefits recorded through balancing accounts. The decrease in the effective tax rate from 2015 to 2016 is mainly due to the $133 million revenue refund to customers partially offset by the change in liabilities related to uncertain tax positions.
See "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 and "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Regulatory Proceedings—Tax Repair Deductions and Memorandum Account" below for more information.

Includes income of $2 million and $4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to income of $1 million and $6 million for the same periods in 2015 related to losses (net of distributions) allocated to tax equity investors under the HLBV accounting method.
2 
Includes interest expense (pre-tax) of $9 million and $7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $17 million and $14 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
The loss from continuing operations of Edison International Parent and Other increased $32 million and $43 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015 primarily due to:
•
An increase in losses of Edison Energy Group from a $13 million after-tax charge from a buy-out of an earn-out provision contained in one of the 2015 acquisitions, higher operating and development expenses and lower revenue and gross margin from the sale of solar systems. The buy-out was completed, together with modification to employment contracts, in order to align long-term incentive compensation. The results during the first half of 2016 include the three businesses acquired by Edison Energy in December 2015. Revenue for Edison Energy Group for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were $9 million and $15 million, respectively, compared to $6 million and $9 million for the respective periods in 2015.
•
A decrease in income from Edison Mission Group and subsidiaries of $12 million and $15 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, primarily due to income related to affordable housing projects in 2015. In December 2015, EMG's subsidiary, Edison Capital completed the sale of its remaining affordable housing investments portfolio which represents the exit from this business activity.
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 bank and 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 2016 obligations, capital expenditures and dividends through operating cash flows, tax benefits and capital market financings of debt and preferred equity, as needed. SCE also has availability under its credit facilities to fund liquidity requirements.
Available Liquidity
At June 30, 2016, SCE had approximately $2.15 billion available under its $2.75 billion multi-year revolving credit facility. For further details, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."
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 June 30, 2016, SCE's debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.44 to 1.

Regulatory Proceedings
San Onofre CPUC Proceedings
In May 2016, and in consideration of the CPUC's December 2015 decision sanctioning SCE for failing to disclose ex parte communications relevant to the San Onofre OII, the Assigned Commissioner and ALJ issued a ruling to reopen the record upon which the CPUC had, in November 2014, approved the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement among SCE, TURN, ORA, SDG&E, the Coalition of California Utility Employees, and Friends of the Earth. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies—San Onofre Related Matters—San Onofre CPUC Proceedings" for more information.
Cost of Capital
As discussed in the year-ended 2015 MD&A, SCE and the other Joint Investor-Owned Utilities submitted a petition to the CPUC in connection with their request for a one-year extension of the due date for the filing of the next cost of capital applications. A final decision approving the Joint Investor-Owned Utilities' petition was approved on February 25, 2016. As extended, the Joint Investor-Owned Utilities must file their next cost of capital applications by April 20, 2017 instead of April 20, 2016. SCE's authorized rate of return and capital structure for CPUC-related activities will remain unchanged through December 31, 2017. See "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process—CPUC" in the 2015 Form 10-K for details on SCE's cost of capital and authorized rates of return.
Energy Efficiency Incentive Mechanism
In March 2016, ORA and TURN filed a joint proposal requesting that the CPUC recalculate SCE's 2006 – 2008 incentive awards and order SCE to refund $39.9 million to its customers. SCE disputes the assertion that SCE should be at risk to repay previously awarded incentives. SCE cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies—Energy Efficiency Incentive Mechanism" for more information.
FERC Formula Rates
In June 2016, SCE provided its preliminary 2017 annual transmission revenue requirement update to interested parties. The update provided support for an increase in SCE's transmission revenue requirement of $98 million or 9% over amounts currently authorized in rates. The increase is mainly due to the completion of several major transmission projects and an underrecovery in rates for revenue in 2015, which is being recovered through the formula rate true up process. SCE expects to file its 2017 annual update with the FERC by December 1, 2016 and the proposed rates would be effective January 1, 2017.
Tax Repair Deductions and Memorandum Account
SCE recognized earnings and a regulatory asset for deferred income taxes related to 2012 – 2014 tax repair deductions. As a result of the CPUC's rate base offset in the 2015 GRC decision, SCE wrote down this regulatory asset in full during 2015. The after-tax charge was reflected in "Income tax expense" on the consolidated statements of income. The amount of tax repair deductions the CPUC used to establish the rate base offset was based on SCE's forecast of 2012 – 2014 tax repair deductions from the Notice of Intent filed in the 2015 GRC. The amount of tax repair deductions included in the Notice of Intent was less than the actual tax repair deductions SCE reported on its 2012 through 2014 income tax returns. In April 2016, the CPUC granted SCE's request to reduce SCE's Base Revenue Requirement Balancing Account by $234 million during 2016 through 2020 subject to the outcome of audits that may be conducted by tax authorities. The refunds result in flowing incremental tax benefits for 2012 – 2014 to customers through 2020. SCE refunded $133 million during the second quarter of 2016. SCE did not record a gain or loss from this reduction. Regulatory assets recorded from flow through tax benefits are recovered through SCE's general rate case proceedings.
Capital Investment Plan
Major Transmission Projects
West of Devers
In April 2016, the CPUC issued a proposed decision to approve the project as recommended by SCE. An alternative project with a modified scope had been considered as part of required environmental impact reviews as discussed in the year-ended 2015 MD&A. The CPUC is expected to issue a final decision on the project in the third quarter of 2016.

Riverside Transmission Reliability
The Riverside Transmission Reliability Project is a joint project between SCE and Riverside Public Utilities (RPU), the municipal utility department of the City of Riverside. While RPU would be responsible for constructing some of the Project's facilities within Riverside, SCE's portion of the Project consists of constructing upgrades to its system, including a new 230-kV Substation; certain interconnection and telecommunication facilities and transmission lines in the cities of Riverside, Jurupa Valley and Norco and in portions of unincorporated Riverside County. The purpose of the Project is to provide RPU and its customers with adequate transmission capacity to serve existing and projected load, to provide for long-term system capacity for load growth, and to provide needed system reliability. 
Alberhill System
The Alberhill System Project consists of constructing a new 500-kV substation, two 500-kV transmission lines to connect the proposed substation to the existing Serrano-Valley 500-kV transmission line, telecommunication equipment and subtransmission lines in unincorporated and incorporated portions of western Riverside County. The Project was designed to meet long-term forecasted electrical demand in the proposed Alberhill Project area and to increase electrical system reliability.
Coolwater-Lugo
In February 2016, SCE filed an abandoned plant recovery request at FERC for the costs of the cancelled Coolwater-Lugo transmission project pursuant to the authority granted by FERC for SCE to recover 100% of all prudently-incurred costs if the project is cancelled for reasons beyond SCE's control. The project was cancelled by the CPUC in 2015 due to a reduction in need. SCE requested recovery of the $37.1 million in costs that SCE incurred for the project over a twelve-month period through the FERC transmission formula rate. In May 2016, the FERC issued an order finding that the project was cancelled for reasons beyond SCE's control, and granted SCE recovery of 100% of the prudently-incurred costs of the project, as proposed by SCE but set for hearing and settlement the $8.5 million in overhead costs assigned by SCE to the project to determine whether these costs are reasonable.
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 June 30, 2016, SCE's 13-month weighted-average common equity component of total capitalization was 50.3% and the maximum additional dividend that SCE could pay to Edison International under this limitation was approximately $540 million, resulting in a restriction on net assets of approximately $13.5 billion.
In the second quarter of 2016, SCE declared and paid a dividend to Edison International of $170 million. Future dividend amounts and timing of distributions are dependent on a number of 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 June 30, 2016, 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.

Incremental collateral requirements were based on potential changes in SCE's forward positions as of June 30, 2016 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 are dependent on dividends from SCE, realization of tax benefits and access to bank and capital markets.
At June 30, 2016, Edison International Parent had $956 million available under its $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, payment of obligations and capital investments, including capital contributions to subsidiaries to fund new businesses, with commercial paper or other borrowings, subject to availability in the capital markets.
The debt covenant in Edison International Parent's credit facility requires a consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio as defined in the credit agreement of less than or equal to 0.65 to 1. At June 30, 2016, Edison International Parent's consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.47 to 1.
In August 2014, Edison International entered into an amendment of the EME Settlement Agreement that finalized the remaining matters related to the EME Settlement. Edison International is obligated to make the final payment of $214 million on September 30, 2016. Edison International has net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards retained by EME, which are available to offset future consolidated taxable income or tax liabilities. In December 2015, the PATH Act of 2015 extended 50% bonus depreciation for qualifying property retroactive to January 1, 2015 and through 2017 and provided for 40% bonus depreciation in 2018 and 30% in 2019. As a result, realization of these tax benefits has been deferred (currently forecasted through 2022). The timing of realization of these tax benefits may be further delayed in the event of future extensions of bonus depreciation and the value of the net operating loss carryforwards could be permanently reduced in the event that tax reform decreases the current corporate tax rate.

Changes in working capital items include receivables, inventory, accounts payable, prepaid and accrued taxes, and other current assets and liabilities.
3 Includes the nuclear decommissioning trusts.
Net cash provided by operating activities were impacted by the following:
•
Net cash used for working capital was $120 million and $311 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The cash outflow for each period was primarily related to the timing of receipts from customers and timing of disbursements, including payments for payroll, payroll-related costs and income taxes. During the first six months of the 2016 and 2015, SCE had net tax payments of $32 million and $125 million, respectively.
•
Net cash provided by regulatory assets and liabilities, including changes in over (under) collections of balancing accounts. SCE has a number of balancing accounts, which impact cash flows based on differences between timing of collection of amounts through rates and accrual expenditures. During the first six months of 2016 and 2015, cash flows were impacted by the following principal balancing accounts:
•
ERRA overcollections for fuel and purchased power decreased $187 million during the first six months of 2016 primarily due to the implementation of the 2016 ERRA rate decrease in January 2016 partially offset by lower than forecasted power and gas prices experienced in 2016. ERRA undercollections for fuel and purchased power decreased $485 million in the first six months of 2015 primarily due to lower power and gas prices experienced in 2015.
•
The base rate revenue balancing account ("BRRBA") tracks differences between amounts authorized by the CPUC in the GRC proceedings and amounts billed to customers. BRRBA overcollections increased $216 million in the first six months of 2016 primarily due to a reclassification of $206 million from TAMA to BRRBA to refund customers as required by the CPUC, partially offset by the implementation of the 2015 GRC decision in January 2016. In addition, during the second quarter of 2016, SCE recorded a revenue refund to customers of $133 million for 2012 – 2014

incremental tax benefits related to repair deductions. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Regulatory Proceedings—Tax Repair Deductions and Memorandum Account" for further information.
•
The public purpose and energy efficiency programs track the differences between amounts authorized by the CPUC and amounts incurred to fund programs established by the CPUC. Overcollections increased by $145 million during the first six months of 2016 due to higher funding and lower spending for these programs. Overcollections decreased by $122 million during the first six months of 2015 due to increased spending for these programs.
•
The 2015 GRC decision established the TAMA. As a result of this memorandum account, together with a balancing account for pole loading expenditures, any differences between the authorized tax repair deductions and actual tax repair deductions will be adjusted through customer rates. Overcollections decreased by $180 million during the first six months of 2016 primarily due to a $206 million reclassification from TAMA to BRRBA to refund customers as discussed above, partially offset by higher tax repairs deductions than forecasted in rates.
•
SCE received $122 million in May 2016 from the federal government related to Department of Energy's failure to meet its obligation to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel from San Onofre. These 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. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Spent Nuclear Fuel" for further discussion.
•
Cash flows used in other noncurrent assets and liabilities were $122 million and $14 million in the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. Major factors affecting cash flow related to noncurrent assets and liabilities were activities related to SCE's nuclear decommissioning trusts (principally related to the payment of decommissioning costs). Decommissioning costs of San Onofre were approximately $88 million and $80 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively (such costs were recorded as a reduction of SCE's asset retirement obligation).
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities are primarily due to capital expenditures and funding of nuclear decommissioning trusts. Capital expenditures were $1.8 billion and $2.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, primarily related to transmission, distribution and generation investments. Net proceeds (purchases) of nuclear decommissioning trust investments were $144 million and $(48) million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The 2016 net proceeds from sale of nuclear decommissioning trust investments was due to disbursements less net earnings during the period. The 2015 net purchase of nuclear decommissioning trust investments was due to net earnings during the period.

Contingencies
SCE has contingencies related to San Onofre Related Matters, Energy Efficiency Incentive Mechanism, Long Beach Service Interruptions, Nuclear Insurance, Wildfire Insurance and Spent Nuclear Fuel, which are discussed in "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies."
Environmental Remediation
As of June 30, 2016, SCE had identified 19 material sites for remediation and recorded an estimated minimum liability of $130 million. SCE expects to recover 90% of its remediation costs at certain sites. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Environmental Remediation" for further discussion.
MARKET RISK EXPOSURES
Edison International's and SCE's primary market risks are described in the 2015 Form 10-K. 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 4. Fair Value Measurements" and "—Note 6. Derivative Instruments."
Commodity Price Risk
The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments used to mitigate exposure to commodity price risk was a net liability of $1.2 billion at both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. For further discussion of fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements" and "— Note 6. Derivative Instruments."
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.

17



As of June 30, 2016, the amount of balance sheet exposure as described above broken down by the credit ratings of SCE's counterparties, was as follows:

Exposure excludes amounts related to contracts classified as normal purchases and sales and non-derivative contractual commitments that are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets, except for any related net accounts receivable.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES

NEW ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
New accounting guidance is discussed in "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—New Accounting Guidance."
RISK FACTORS
The risk factors appearing in the 2015 Form 10-K under the headings set forth below are supplemented and updated as follows:
RISKS RELATING TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY
Regulatory Risks
SCE is subject to extensive regulation and the risk of adverse regulatory decisions and changes in applicable regulations or legislation.
SCE operates in a highly regulated environment. SCE's business is subject to extensive federal, state and local energy, environmental and other laws and regulations. Among other things, the CPUC regulates SCE's retail rates and capital structure, and the FERC regulates SCE's wholesale rates. The NRC regulates the decommissioning of San Onofre. The construction, planning, and siting of SCE's power plants and transmission lines in California are also subject to regulation by the CPUC.
SCE must periodically apply for licenses and permits from these various regulatory authorities and abide by their respective orders. Should SCE be unsuccessful in obtaining necessary licenses or permits or should these regulatory authorities initiate any investigations or enforcement actions or impose penalties or disallowances on SCE, SCE's business could be materially affected. The process of obtaining licenses and permits from regulatory authorities may be delayed or defeated by concerted community opposition and such delay or defeat could have a material effect on SCE's business.
In June 2016, the California Governor and state legislators announced an agreement on CPUC reform bills that, if passed, will establish rulemaking to govern communications between the CPUC officials, staff and the regulated utilities. These bills have not yet been approved by the California legislature and the particular rules they propose have yet to be adopted. Changes to the rules and processes around ex parte communications could result in delayed decisions, increased investigations, enforcement actions and penalties. In addition, the CPUC or other parties may initiate investigations of past communications between public utilities, including SCE, and CPUC officials and staff that could result in reopening completed proceedings for reconsideration.

18



In addition, existing regulations may be revised or reinterpreted and new laws and regulations may be adopted or become applicable to SCE, or its facilities or operations, in a manner that may have a detrimental effect on SCE's business or result in significant additional costs. In addition, regulations adopted via the public initiative or legislative process may apply to SCE, or its facilities or operations, in a manner that may have a detrimental effect on SCE's business or result in significant additional costs.
Competitive and Market Risks
The electricity industry is undergoing change, including increased competition, technological advancements, and political and regulatory developments
California utilities are experiencing increasing deployment of distributed energy resources, such as solar, energy storage, energy efficiency and demand response technologies. This growth will eventually require modernization of the electric distribution grid to, among other things, accommodate two-way flows of electricity and increase the grid's capacity to interconnect distributed energy resources. To this end, the CPUC is conducting proceedings to: evaluate changes to the planning and operation of the electric distribution grid in order to prepare for higher penetration of distributed energy resources; consider future grid modernization and grid reinforcement investments; evaluate if traditional grid investments can be deferred by distributed energy resources, and if feasible, what, if any, compensation would be appropriate; and clarify the role of the electric distribution grid operator. The outcome of these proceedings is unknown. These changes could materially affect SCE's business model and its financial condition and results of operations.
Customer-owned generation itself reduces the amount of electricity those customers purchase from utilities and has the effect of increasing utility rates unless customer rates are designed to allocate the costs of the distribution grid across all customers that benefit from their use. For example, customers in California that generate their own power do not currently pay all transmission and distribution charges and non-bypassable charges, subject to limitations, which result in increased utility rates for those customers who do not own their generation. Such increases influence the public discussion regarding changes in the electric utility business model.
In addition, the FERC has adopted changes that have opened transmission development to competition from independent developers, allowing such developers to compete with incumbent utilities for the construction and operation of transmission facilities. For more information, see "Business—SCE—Competition" in the 2015 Form 10-K.

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 Edison Energy Group, a company that holds interests in subsidiaries that are engaged in competitive businesses focused on providing energy solutions to commercial and industrial customers, including distributed resources, engaging in competitive transmission opportunities, and exploring distributed water treatment and recycling. 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 2015 Form 10-K. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the 2015 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- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
The December 31, 2015 financial statement 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. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation.
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:

Inventory
Inventory is primarily composed of materials, supplies and spare parts, and stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined by the average cost method.

29



Revenue Recognition
Operating revenue is recognized when electricity is delivered and includes amounts for services rendered but unbilled at the
end of each reporting period. During the first six months of 2015, SCE recognized revenue from CPUC activities largely based on 2014 authorized base revenue requirements included in customer rates. In the fourth quarter of 2015, SCE implemented its 2015 GRC decision which allowed SCE to recover its revenue requirement retroactive to January 1, 2015.
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 42,890 and 1,981,596 shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 47,861 and 1,981,596 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, 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
On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Previously, accounting guidance required these costs to be presented as a deferred charge asset. Edison International and SCE adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2016. At June 30, 2016, the amount of debt issuance costs that are reflected as a deduction of "Long-term debt" was $75 million for SCE and $81 million for Edison International. At December 31, 2015 the amount of debt issuance costs that have been reclassified from "Other long-term assets" to a deduction of "Long-term debt" was $77 million for SCE and $81 million for Edison International.

On April 15, 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update on fees paid by a customer for software licenses. This new standard provides guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license which may be capitalized in certain circumstances. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, then the arrangement should be accounted for as a service contract. Edison International and SCE adopted this guidance prospectively, effective January 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on Edison International's and SCE's consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update on revenue recognition including enhanced disclosures and further amended the standard in 2016. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when (or as) a good or service is transferred to the customer and the customer obtains control of the good or service. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral, updating the effective date to January 1, 2018. Edison International and SCE are currently evaluating this guidance and cannot determine the impact of this standard at this time. Edison International and SCE anticipates adopting the standard using the modified retrospective application which means that Edison International and SCE would recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in 2018.
On January 5, 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that amends the guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The amendments require equity investments (excluding those accounted for under the equity method or those that result in consolidation) to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. In addition, the new guidance requires financial assets and financial liabilities to be presented separately in the notes to the financial statements, grouped by measurement category and form of financial asset. Edison International and SCE will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on Edison International's and SCE's consolidated financial statements.
On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update related to lease accounting including enhanced disclosures. Under the new standard, a lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Lessees will classify leases with a term of more than one year as either operating or finance leases and will need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern. SCE, as a regulated entity, is permitted to continue to have straight-line expense for finance leases, assuming the rate recovery is based upon current payments. This guidance is effective January 1, 2019 but early adoption is permitted. Edison International and SCE are currently evaluating this new guidance and cannot determine the impact of this standard at this time.
On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to simplify the accounting for share-based payments. Under this new guidance, the tax effects related to share based payments will be recorded through the income statement. Currently, tax benefits in excess of compensation cost ("windfalls") are recorded in equity, and tax deficiencies ("shortfalls") are recorded in equity to the extent of previous windfalls, and then to the income statement. This guidance is effective January 1, 2017 but early adoption is permitted. The new standard also revised reporting on the statement of cash flows. Edison International and SCE are currently evaluating this new guidance.
On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to amend the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The new guidance adds an impairment model, known as the current expected credit loss model, which was based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. This guidance applies to most debt instruments, trade receivables, lease receivables, financial guarantee contracts, and loan commitments. However, available-for-sale debt securities are excluded from the model's scope. This guidance is effective on January 1, 2020, but early adoption no earlier than January 1, 2019 is permitted. Edison International and SCE are currently evaluating this new guidance.

Note 3.    Variable Interest Entities
A VIE is defined as a legal entity that meets one of two conditions: (1) the equity owners do not have sufficient equity at risk, or (2) the holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, 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. A subsidiary of Edison International is the primary beneficiary of an entity that owns rooftop solar projects. 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.

33



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 11 of the 2015 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 from these VIE projects was 4,349 MW and 4,125 MW at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and the amounts that SCE paid to these projects were $92 million and $78 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $219 million and $181 million for six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These amounts are recoverable in customer rates, subject to reasonableness review.
Unconsolidated Trusts of SCE
SCE Trust I, Trust II, Trust III, Trust IV, and Trust V were formed in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively, for the exclusive purpose of issuing the 5.625%, 5.10%, 5.75%, 5.375% and 5.45% 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, Trust III, Trust IV and Trust V issued to the public trust securities in the face amounts of $475 million, $400 million, $275 million, $325 million, and $300 million respectively, (cumulative, liquidation amounts of $25 per share) and $10,000 of common stock each to SCE. The trusts invested the proceeds of these trust securities in Series F, Series G, Series H, Series J, and Series K Preference Stock issued by SCE in the principal amounts of $475 million, $400 million, $275 million, $325 million and $300 million (cumulative, $2,500 per share liquidation values), respectively, which have substantially the same payment terms as the respective trust securities.
The Series F, Series G, Series H, Series J and Series K 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, Series H, Series J or Series K Preference Stock, a corresponding dollar amount of trust securities will be redeemed by the applicable trust (see Note 12 for further information). 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 related Preference Stock. The applicable trust will use any dividends it receives on the related 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 related Preference Stock.
The Trust I, Trust II, Trust III and Trust IV balance sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, consisted of investments of $475 million, $400 million, $275 million and $325 million in the Series F, Series G, Series H and Series J Preference Stock, respectively, $475 million, $400 million, $275 million and $325 million of trust securities, respectively, and $10,000 each of common stock. The Trust V balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 consisted of investments of $300 million in the Series K Preference Stock, $300 million of trust securities, and $10,000 of common stock.

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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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's 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, 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 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

35



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. See Note 6 for a discussion of fair value of derivative instruments.

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 2016 and 2015.
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 Debt Recorded at Carrying Value
The carrying value and fair value of Edison International's and SCE's long-term debt (including current portion of long-term debt) are as follows:

The carrying value of Edison International's and SCE's trade receivables and payables, other investments, and short-term debt approximates fair value.

38



Note 5.    Debt and Credit Agreements
Long-Term Debt
During the first quarter of 2016, Edison International issued $400 million of 2.95% senior notes due in 2023. The proceeds from these bonds were used to repay commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes.
Credit Agreements and Short-Term Debt
SCE and Edison International Parent have multi-year revolving credit facilities of $2.75 billion and $1.25 billion, respectively. In July 2016, SCE and Edison International Parent extended the maturity dates to July 2021 for $2.72 billion and $1.23 billion of these facilities, respectively. The remaining $34 million and $16 million for the SCE and Edison International Parent credit facilities, respectively, will mature in July 2020. SCE's credit facility is generally used to support commercial paper borrowings and letters of credit issued for procurement-related collateral requirements, balancing account undercollections and for general corporate purposes, including working capital requirements to support operations and capital expenditures. Edison International Parent's credit facility is used to support commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes.
At June 30, 2016, SCE's outstanding commercial paper, net of discount, was $506 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.60%. At June 30, 2016, letters of credit issued under SCE's credit facility aggregated $89 million and are scheduled to expire in twelve months or less. At December 31, 2015, the outstanding commercial paper was $49 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.51%.
At June 30, 2016, Edison International Parent's outstanding commercial paper, net of discount, was $294 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.69%. At December 31, 2015, the outstanding commercial paper was $646 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.78%.
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 represent 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 allow 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 creditworthiness of each counterparty and the risk associated with the transaction.

39



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 post additional collateral to cover derivative liabilities and the related outstanding payables. The net fair value of all derivative liabilities with these credit-risk-related contingent features was $24 million and $38 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. SCE has posted $12 million collateral at June 30, 2016 and no collateral at December 31, 2015 to its counterparties at the respective dates for its derivative liabilities and related outstanding payables. If the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered on June 30, 2016, SCE would be required to post $5 million of additional collateral related to outstanding payables that are net of collateral already posted.
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. See Note 4 for a discussion of fair value of derivative instruments. The following table summarizes the gross and net fair values of SCE's commodity derivative instruments:

In addition, at June 30, 2016, SCE received $4 million of collateral that is not offset against derivative assets and is reflected in "Other current liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2015, SCE had posted $31 million 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 remaining effects of derivative activities and related regulatory offsets are recorded in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

During the second quarter of 2016, SCE recorded $79 million for 2012 – 2014 incremental tax benefits related to repair deductions, which were flowed-through to customers ($133 million pre-tax).

41



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. Flow-through items reduce current authorized revenue requirements in SCE's rate cases and result in a regulatory asset for recovery of deferred income taxes in future periods. The difference between the authorized amounts as determined in SCE's rate cases, adjusted for balancing and memorandum account activities, and the recorded flow-through items also result in increases or decreases in regulatory assets with a corresponding impact on the effective tax rate to the extent that recorded deferred amounts are expected to be recovered in future rates.
Repair Deductions
Previously, SCE recognized earnings and a regulatory asset for deferred income taxes related to 2012 – 2014 tax repair deductions. As a result of the CPUC's rate base offset in the 2015 GRC decision, SCE wrote down this regulatory asset in full during 2015. The after-tax charge was reflected in "Income tax expense" on the consolidated statements of income. The amount of tax repair deductions the CPUC used to establish the rate base offset was based on SCE's forecast of 2012 – 2014 tax repair deductions from the Notice of Intent filed in the 2015 GRC. The amount of tax repair deductions included in the Notice of Intent was less than the actual tax repair deductions SCE reported on its 2012 through 2014 income tax returns. In April 2016, the CPUC granted SCE's request to reduce SCE's Base Revenue Requirement Balancing Account by $234 million during 2016 through 2020 subject to the outcome of audits that may be conducted by tax authorities. SCE refunded $133 million ($79 million after-tax) during the second quarter of 2016. The refunds result in flowing incremental tax benefits for 2012 – 2014 to customers through 2020. SCE did not record a gain or loss from this reduction. Regulatory assets recorded from flow through tax benefits are recovered through SCE's general rate case proceedings.
Tax Disputes
Tax Years 2007 – 2012
Edison International has reached a tentative settlement agreement with the IRS for the 2007 – 2012 tax years. The final agreement, when approved, is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.
During the second quarter of 2015, the Company received the IRS Revenue Agent Report for the 2010 – 2012 tax years. Edison International's and SCE's tax reserves were re-measured at that time and $94 million and $100 million, respectively, of income tax benefits were recorded in the comparable quarter for the prior year.

Tax years that remain open for examination by the IRS and the California Franchise Tax Board are 2007 – 2015 and 2003 – 2015, respectively.
Note 8.    Compensation and Benefit Plans
Pension Plans
Edison International made contributions of $47 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016, which includes contributions of $37 million by SCE. Edison International expects to make contributions of $73 million during the remainder of 2016, which includes $58 million from SCE. Annual contributions made by SCE 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.

Includes the amount of net loss reclassified from other comprehensive loss. The amount reclassified for Edison International and SCE was $3 million and $1 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2016, and $6 million and $3 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The amount reclassified for Edison International and SCE was $4 million and $2 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and $7 million and $4 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
Edison International made contributions of $17 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and expects to make contributions of $16 million during the remainder of 2016, substantially 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.

Trust assets are used to pay income taxes as the Trust files separate income taxes returns from SCE. Deferred tax liabilities related to net unrealized gains at June 30, 2016 were $375 million. Accordingly, the fair value of Trust assets available to pay future decommissioning costs, net of deferred income taxes, totaled $4.0 billion at June 30, 2016. Due to regulatory mechanisms, changes in assets of the trusts from income or loss items have no impact on operating revenue or earnings.

Note 11.    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 Related Matters
Replacement steam generators were installed at San Onofre in 2010 and 2011. On January 31, 2012, a 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 wear. Unit 2 was off-line for a planned outage when areas of unexpected tube wear were also discovered. On June 6, 2013, SCE decided to permanently retire Units 2 and 3.

47



San Onofre CPUC Proceedings
The San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement resolved the CPUC's investigation regarding the Steam Generator Replacement Project at San Onofre and the related outages and subsequent shutdown of San Onofre. In May 2016, and in consideration of the CPUC's December 2015 decision sanctioning SCE for failing to disclose ex parte communications relevant to the San Onofre OII, the Assigned Commissioner and ALJ issued a ruling to reopen the record upon which the CPUC had, in November 2014, approved the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement among SCE, TURN, ORA, SDG&E, the Coalition of California Utility Employees, and Friends of the Earth. The ruling also established a ban on all ex parte communications in the proceeding. The ruling established a briefing schedule for parties to address whether, in light of the ex parte rules violations, the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement remains reasonable, consistent with the law and in the public interest, which is the standard the CPUC applies in reviewing settlements submitted for approval. In comments filed with the CPUC in July 2016, SCE asserts that the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement continues to meet this standard and therefore should not be disturbed. A number of parties, however, have asked the CPUC in their comments to either modify the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement or vacate its previous approval of the settlement and reinstate the San Onofre OII for further proceedings. SCE is unable to predict the outcome of this matter. The San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement does not affect proceedings related to recoveries from third parties described below, but does describe how shareholders and customers will share any recoveries.
Challenges related to San Onofre CPUC Proceedings
A federal lawsuit challenging the CPUC's authority to permit rate recovery of San Onofre costs and an application to the CPUC for rehearing of its decision approving the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement were filed in November and December 2014, respectively. In April 2015, the federal lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice and the plaintiffs in that case appealed the dismissal to the Ninth Circuit in May 2015. Both the appeal and the application for rehearing remain pending.
In April 2015, the Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility ("A4NR") filed a petition to modify the CPUC's decision approving the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement based on SCE's alleged failures to disclose communications between SCE and CPUC decision-makers pertaining to issues in the San Onofre OII. The petition seeks the reversal of the decision approving the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement and reopening of the OII proceeding. Subsequently, TURN and ORA filed responses supporting A4NR's petition to reopen the San Onofre OII proceeding. In August 2015, ORA filed its own petition to modify the CPUC's decision approving the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement seeking to set aside the settlement and reopen the San Onofre OII proceeding. SCE and SDG&E responded to this petition in September 2015. Both petitions remain pending before the CPUC.
In July 2015, a purported securities class action lawsuit was filed in federal court against Edison International, its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and was later amended to include SCE's former President as a defendant. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants violated the securities laws by failing to disclose that Edison International had ex parte contacts with CPUC decision-makers regarding the San Onofre OII that were either unreported or more extensive than initially reported. The complaint purports to be filed on behalf of a class of persons who acquired Edison International common stock between March 21, 2014 and June 24, 2015.
Subsequently and also in July 2015, a federal shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed against members of the Edison International Board of Directors for breach of fiduciary duty and other claims. The federal derivative lawsuit is based on similar allegations to the federal class action securities lawsuit and seeks monetary damages, including punitive damages, and various corporate governance reforms. An additional federal shareholder derivative lawsuit making essentially the same allegations was filed in August and was subsequently consolidated with the July 2015 federal derivative lawsuit.
In October 2015, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in California state court against members of the Edison International Board of Directors for breach of fiduciary duty and other claims, making similar allegations to those in the federal derivative lawsuits discussed above.
In November 2015, a purported securities class action lawsuit was filed in federal court against Edison International, its Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer by an Edison International employee, alleging claims under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"). The complaint purports to be filed on behalf of a class of Edison International employees who were participants in the Edison 401(k) Savings Plan and invested in the Edison International Stock Fund between March 27, 2014 and June 24, 2015. The complaint alleges that defendants breached their fiduciary duties because they knew or should have known that investment in the Edison International Stock Fund was imprudent because the price of Edison International common stock was artificially inflated due to Edison International's alleged failure to disclose certain ex parte communications with CPUC decision-makers related to the San Onofre OII. In July 2016, the federal court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss the lawsuit with an opportunity for the plaintiffs to amend their complaint.

Edison International and SCE cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings.
MHI Claims
SCE is also pursuing claims against Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and a related company ("MHI"), which designed and supplied the replacement steam generators. MHI warranted the replacement steam generators 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 stated 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 that MHI's liability is not limited to $138 million. MHI has advised SCE that it disagrees. In October 2013, 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 customers 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 San Onofre owners sued MHI, alleging claims arising from MHI's supplying the faulty steam generators. These litigation claims have been stayed pending the arbitration. The other co-owners (SDG&E and Riverside) have been added as additional claimants in the arbitration. The arbitration is being conducted pursuant to a confidentiality order issued by the arbitration panel. Hearings concluded on April 29, 2016. A decision may be issued by year-end 2016 but could be later.
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 San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement, recoveries from MHI (including amounts paid by MHI under the first invoice), if any, will first be applied 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 50% to customers and 50% to SCE.
The first $282 million of SCE's customers' portion of such recoveries from MHI will be distributed to customers via a credit to a sub-account of SCE's Base Revenue Requirement Balancing Account ("BRRBA"), reducing revenue requirements from customers. Amounts in excess of the first $282 million distributable to SCE customers will reduce SCE's regulatory asset represented by the unamortized balance of investment in San Onofre base plant, reducing the revenue requirement needed to amortize such investment. The amortization period, however, will be unaffected. Any additional amounts received after the regulatory asset is recovered will be applied to the BRRBA.
The San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement provides the utilities with the discretion to resolve the MHI dispute without CPUC approval, 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. SCE and SDG&E have also agreed to allow the CPUC to review the documentation of any final resolution of the MHI dispute and the litigation costs incurred in pursuing claims against MHI to ensure they are not exorbitant in relation to the recovery obtained. There is no assurance that there will be any recovery from MHI or, if there is a recovery, that it will equal or exceed the litigation costs incurred to pursue the recovery.
Energy Efficiency Incentive Mechanism
In September 2015, the CPUC granted TURN and ORA requests for rehearing of prior CPUC decisions related to $74.5 million of incentive awards that SCE received for savings achieved by its 2006 – 2008 energy efficiency programs. In March 2016, ORA and TURN filed a joint proposal requesting that the CPUC recalculate SCE's 2006 – 2008 incentive awards and order SCE to refund $39.9 million to its customers. SCE disputes the assertion that SCE should be at risk to repay previously awarded incentives. SCE cannot predict the outcome of these petitions.
Long Beach Service Interruptions
In July 2015, SCE's customers who are served via the network portion of SCE's electric system in Long Beach, California experienced service interruptions due to multiple underground vault fires and underground cable failures. No personal injuries have been reported in connection with these events and, subject to applicable deductibles, SCE is generally insured against customer claims arising from these events. SCE instituted an internal investigation and commissioned an external

49



investigation of these events and their causes, which revealed that the main cause of the interruptions was a lack of adequate management oversight of the downtown network system. The investigations also revealed deficiencies in maintaining the knowledge base on the configuration and operation of the system, and a lack of sophisticated controls needed to more efficiently and effectively prevent and respond to the cascading events that occurred. On July 14, 2016, the CPUC initiated an investigation ("Long Beach OII") of these events and their causes based on an investigation by the CPUC's Safety and Enforcement Division ("SED"). The SED investigation, among other things, identified problems with maintenance, inspection, and management of SCE's Long Beach electrical system, and emergency response and communications capabilities. The Long Beach OII will consider whether SCE violated statutes, rules or regulations, maintained adequate, accurate, and complete records, and provided sufficient emergency response and communications to various parties during the power outages. SCE has been directed to show cause at hearings why the CPUC should not find it in violation of the relevant statutes, rules and regulations. The OII does not propose a penalty amount. The CPUC may impose penalties in the amount of $500 to $50,000 per day per violation, but SCE is unable to estimate a possible loss or range of loss associated with any penalties that may be imposed by the CPUC in the Long Beach OII.
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 June 30, 2016, 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 $130 million, including $79 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 $134 million total environmental remediation liability for SCE, $128 million has been recorded as a regulatory asset. SCE expects to recover $46 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 $82 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.
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 $165 million and $7 million, respectively. 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 $7 million to $23 million. Costs incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $1 million and $3 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
SCE is a member of NEIL, a mutual insurance company owned by entities with nuclear facilities. NEIL provides insurance for nuclear property damage, including damages caused by acts of terrorism up to specified limits, and for accidental outages for active facilities. The amount of nuclear property damage insurance purchased for San Onofre and Palo Verde exceeds the minimum federal requirement of $1.06 billion. If NEIL 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.
Federal law limits public offsite liability claims for bodily injury and property damage from a nuclear incident to the amount of available financial protection, which is currently approximately $13.4 billion. 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.
For more information on nuclear insurance coverage, see Note 11 in the 2015 Form 10-K.
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 duration of the wildfire season and the risk of severe wildfire events. SCE has approximately $910 million of third party insurance coverage for wildfire liabilities for the period from July 2016 to May 2017. SCE's program includes approximately $90 million in self-insurance at various levels within the $910 million of third party insurance coverage, which combined, equals approximately $1 billion. In addition, SCE has a self-insured retention of $10 million per wildfire occurrence. 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.
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 has not met its contractual obligation to accept spent nuclear fuel. 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 their 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 April 2016, SCE, as operating agent, settled a lawsuit on behalf of the San Onofre owners against the DOE for $162 million, including reimbursement for legal costs (SCE share $124 million) to compensate for damages caused by the DOE's failure to meet its obligation to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel for the period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2013. The settlement also provides for a claim submission/audit process for expenses incurred from 2014 – 2016, where SCE will submit a claim for damages caused by the DOE failure to accept spent nuclear fuel each year, followed by a government audit and payment of the claim. This process will make additional legal action to recover damages incurred in 2014 – 2016 unnecessary. 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 12.    Preferred and Preference Stock of SCE
During the first quarter of 2016, SCE issued $300 million of 5.45% Series K Preference Stock (120,004 shares; cumulative, $2,500 liquidation value) to SCE Trust V, a special purpose entity formed to issue trust securities as discussed in Note 3. The Series K Preference Stock may be redeemed at par, in whole, but not in part, at any time prior to March 15, 2026 if certain changes in tax or investment company laws occur. On or after March 15, 2026, SCE may redeem the Series K shares at par, in whole or in part and distributions will accrue and be payable at a floating rate. The shares are not subject to mandatory redemption. The proceeds were used to redeem $125 million of SCE's Series D Preference Stock and for general corporate purposes.

SCE's accrued capital expenditures at June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $338 million and $393 million, respectively. Accrued capital expenditures will be included as an investing activity in the consolidated statements of cash flow in the period paid.
During the second quarter of 2015, SCE amended a power contract classified as a capital lease, which resulted in a reduction in the lease obligation and asset by $147 million.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The management of Edison International and SCE, under the supervision and with the participation of Edison International's and SCE's respective Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers, have evaluated the effectiveness of Edison International's and SCE's disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), respectively, as of the end of the second quarter of 2016. Based on that evaluation, Edison International's and SCE's respective Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers have each concluded that, as of the end of the period, Edison International's and SCE's disclosure controls and procedures, respectively, were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in Edison International's or SCE's internal control over financial reporting, respectively, during the second quarter of 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Edison International's or SCE's internal control over financial reporting.
Jointly Owned Plant
Edison International's and SCE's respective scope of evaluation of internal control over financial reporting includes their Jointly Owned SCE Projects as discussed in Note 2. Property, Plant and Equipment in the 2015 Form 10-K.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The following proceeding was previously reported to comply with SEC regulations, which require disclosure of certain information about proceedings arising under federal, state or local environmental provisions if a company reasonably believes that such proceedings might result in monetary sanctions of $100,000 or more.
Shaver Lake Dam Project Administrative Civil Liability Complaint
In 2011, SCE installed a PVC plastic geomembrane liner on the Shaver Lake Dam to prevent water seepage. Before starting the project, SCE received the required regulatory permits and approvals. SCE and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife executed a Streambed Alteration Agreement in November 2011 that governed SCE's activities in Shaver Lake as required by state and federal law. SCE also obtained the required federal Clean Water Act Certification in November 2011 for the project's completion.

53



In February 2012, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Central Valley Regional Water Quality control Board issued letters alleging that SCE had violated provisions of the Streambed Alteration Agreement and certain conditions of the federal Clean Water Act Certification, respectively. Both letters alleged that during the draining of Shaver Lake, SCE failed to prevent the discharge of sediment into an adjoining creek, causing the deaths of fish in the lake and creek. In October 2014, SCE received a pre-issuance draft of an Administrative Civil Liability Complaint from the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board alleging violations of certain permit conditions relating to the Shaver Lake Dam Project. The Regional Water Quality Control Board is seeking $25 million in civil penalties for the violations. SCE disputes the allegations but is working with the regulatory agencies to resolve the matter.
