NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed financial information of Sempra has been prepared in accordance with SEC Regulation S-X Rule 5-04 and Rule 12-04. We apply the same accounting policies as in the consolidated financial statements of Sempra, except that Sempra accounts for the earnings of its subsidiaries under the equity method in this unconsolidated financial information. This financial information should be read in conjunction with Sempra’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included in this Form 10-K.
Sempra received cash dividends from its subsidiaries totaling $1,900 million, $832 million and $375 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
We describe in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements recent pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or disclosures.
NOTE 3. DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITY
SHORT-TERM DEBT
Committed Line of Credit
At December 31, 2023, Sempra had capacity of $4,000 million under a committed line of credit, which provides liquidity and supports its commercial paper program, with available unused credit of $3,634 million before reductions of any unamortized discounts.
The principal terms of Sempra’s committed line of credit include the following:
The facility has a syndicate of 23 lenders. No single lender has greater than a 6% share in the facility.
The facility provides for the issuance of $200 million of letters of credit. Subject to obtaining commitments from existing or new lenders and satisfaction of other specified conditions, Sempra has the right to increase its letter of credit commitment to up to $500 million. No letters of credit were outstanding at December 31, 2023.
Borrowings bear interest at a benchmark rate plus a margin that varies with Sempra’s credit rating.
Sempra must maintain a ratio of indebtedness to total capitalization (as defined in its credit facility) of no more than 65% at the end of each quarter. At December 31, 2023, Sempra was in compliance with this ratio under its credit facility.
