To Our More Than xylo,ooo Shareholders Our nation now faces critical economic and energy problems which directly affect our industry and Company. These problems are receiving increased recognition and attention, and we are encouraged that governmerit leaders have recognized that a viable electric utility industry is essential Eor energy selE-sufficiency and our nation's economic well-being.

Management's efforts during the year were concentrated on coping with inflationary pressures and escalating environmental, fuel and capital costs, while working to effect operating economies and to maintain reliable electric service to our customers.

The following paragraphs highlight the principal activities and results for the year:

X974 Earnings Total revenues of $ x.p billion, net income of $ zx8 million and earnings per share of $ 4.xo were all at record levels and all represent substantial increases over x973.

These results, however, should be viewed in perspective. The increase in earnings is attributable almost entirely to unusually favorable weather conditions record rainfall which made available more lower-cost hydroelectric power, and the availability of more natural gas fuel than had been anticipated. Such extraordinary conditions cannot be counted on to recur in x975 and, consequently, earnings for x97g are expected to be substantially less.

Dividends In March 1974, Edison's Board of Directors voted to increase the common stock quarterly dividend from 39 cents to 4z cents per share, equivalent to $ x.68 per share on an annual basis. The Company has paid dividends on its common stock each year since its incorporation in x9o9.

KWH Sales For many years, the Company experienced an annual compound growth rate of kilowatt-hour sales of 8-xo%. However, the response by our customers to the call for energy conservation, economic conditions and the escalating cost of electricity contributed to a decline in kwh sales in x974 from the preceding year. Therefore, planning for the x975-79 period, subject to frequent review, is based on a markedly reduced rate of growth as compared with the high levels of electric energy growth recorded in the x96os.

Plant Construction The lower growth rate projected for the near-term future, coupled with adequate reserve margins of generation, made it possible in x974 for the Company to defer construction schedules Eor some generating plants and related facilities and to reduce projected five-year construction expenditures by nearly $ x billion.

Despite this reduction, however, our construction budget through x979 also sub-ject to periodic review, remains high about $ 3.4 billion and there willbe a continuing requirement for relatively large amounts of external financing.

Rate Relief Recognizing a future need to attain a more adequate level of earnings, Edison filed an application in June with the California Public Utilities Commission requesting a general rate increase designed to produce a xg% return on common equity and additional annual revenues of approximately $ ygg million based upon the then anticipated x976 level of sales. We are ho'peful that public hearings can be completed and a decision issued by the latter part of z97p.

Cost Controls Edison continues to operate under rigid cost controls in order to hold the line on controllable expenses. Substantial reductions in our operating and construction budgets have been made and a freeze on hiring, in effect since December x97p, has been extended into x97g. At the end of zg74, we were operating with 4g9 fewer employees than at year-end z97g.

Organizational After many years of valued service, for reasons of health, Mr. Vaile G. Young Changes resigned from the Board of Directors on November zx. On that date, also, Mr. H.

Russell Smith, President and Director of Avery Products Corporation, was elected to the Board, and Mr. Joe T. Head, Jr., Manager of the Power Supply Department, was elected Vice President.

X975 Outlook The outlook for x97g appears particularly uncertain. Such unpredictable factors as governmental actions in response to President Ford's economic-energy pro-posals, regulatory decisions, economic conditions, weather and the degree of energy conservation by our customers could have a substantial impact ori our operations. Further, rising electric rates inevitably generate both consumer and governmental concern and lead to misunderstanding and dissatisfaction among customers who are trying to conserve.

Our fuel oil requirements for x975 are substantially covered and, barring unforeseen circumstances, we shall have adequate generating capacity to meet expected peak electric demands of our customers through x976.

In our judgment, the problems confronting electric utilities, though formi-dable, are manageable. We are planning Eor the challenges that lie ahead and counting on the continued dedicated support of our employees.

Financial Review Earnings per Share 0 retained earnings Earnings and Earnings for the year increased to a dividends Revenues Increase $ 4.xo per share as compared with In 1974 $ 2.70 on a lower average number of shares in xg73. The primary factors benefiting I974 earnings were the exceptionally high availability and use of lower-cost hydroelectric power and increased availability of lower-cost natural gas over what had been anticipated. Lesser factors in-cluded a general rate increase which became effective in October xg73, and stringent internal cost controls.

Total operating revenues for the year ended '1974 were $ x.3 billion, up 37.4% over the $ z.z billion re-ported for xg73. Fuel cost adjust-ments and the general rate increase contributed substantially to higher revenues.

On August 6, the cpvc authorized the Company to implement a special fuel cost adjustment for a zz-month 40 period to offset certain fuel oil transportation charges. The special adjustment is expected to increase revenues by $ 9.7 million during the one year it will be in effect.

During the past three years, Edison substantially increased its fuel oil storage capacity and its fuel oil inventory to help prevent fuel shortages resulting from possible interruptions in the supply of im-ported low-sulfur fuel oil. In an effort to offset a major part of the carrying costs incurred as a result of this action and the greatly increased price of fuel oil in inventory, Edison, in 19/0 x971 19/2 i973 19$ $ September, filed with the cpvc an application for an adjustment in rates Fuel Costs Continue Edison's fuel expenses for L974 were which, iE authorized, would result to Increase $ 5o5 million, a 57.3% increase over in additional revenues estimated at the $ 3zz million recorded in zg73. approximately Sx7 million on an FOI'1975 fuel costs are estimated to annual basis.

In light of some uncertainty re-garding the continuing impact of conservation, economic conditions and rising electric rates upon future load growth, Edison's plans for new system capacity additions are subject to continuing evaluation and rescheduling.

in net income before taxes with no commensurate increases in tax reductions. (See Note 6 of "Notes to Financial Statements.")

The allowance for funds used during construction (ADc) decreased in 1972 due to a slowdown in construction activity and related costs. The increase in ADc during 1.973 reflected the impact of an increase in construction activi-ties, and the increase of ADc in 1974 reflected, in part, an increase in the ADc rate from 7.5% to 8.o% and, in part, an increase in construction activity and related costs. (See Note x of "Notes to Financial Statements.")
