Edison International (EIX) subsidiary Edison Mission Energy (EME) has emerged from bankruptcy, removing the risk that EIX's credit profile could suffer from resolving EME's bankruptcy. We are raising our long-term issuer credit rating to 'BBB+' from 'BBB-' on EIX and removing the company from CreditWatch with positive implications. We are raising the senior unsecured debt rating to 'BBB' from 'BBB-' and the short-term rating to 'A-2' from A-3'. The ratings on EIX utility subsidiary Southern California Edison Co. (SCE) are affirmed. The recent announcement of a settlement on rate-related issues surrounding the closure of the San Onofre nuclear plant would, if approved, alleviate many uncertainties about the financial cost of the shutdown, but it does not fundamentally change SCE's creditworthiness.
