Sempra California

Sempra California’s earnings are comprised of SDG&E and SoCalGas. Because changes in SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ cost of natural gas and/or electricity are recovered in rates, changes in these costs are offset in the changes in revenues and therefore do not impact earnings, other than potential impacts related to the GCIM for SoCalGas that we describe below. In addition to the changes in cost or market prices, natural gas or electric revenues recorded during a period are impacted by the difference between customer billings and recorded or CPUC-authorized amounts. These differences are required to be balanced over time, resulting in over- and undercollected regulatory balancing accounts. We discuss balancing accounts and their effects further in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

In the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, the decrease in earnings of $23 million (7%) to $316 million was primarily due to:

$37 million lower income tax benefits primarily from flow-through items, which includes $25 million related to income tax benefits in 2023 for previously unrecognized income tax benefits pertaining to gas repairs expenditures

$11 million higher net interest expense

$26 million higher CPUC base operating margin, net of operating expenses, including higher authorized cost of capital. Sempra California recorded CPUC-authorized revenues based on 2023 authorized levels

$8 million higher electric transmission margin

In the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, the decrease in earnings of $59 million (6%) to $898 million was primarily due to:

$51 million lower income tax benefits primarily from flow-through items, which includes $25 million related to income tax benefits in 2023 for previously unrecognized income tax benefits pertaining to gas repairs expenditures

$26 million higher net interest expense

$14 million higher CPUC base operating margin, net of operating expenses, including higher authorized cost of capital. Sempra California recorded CPUC-authorized revenues based on 2023 authorized levels

$12 million higher electric transmission margin

Sempra Texas Utilities

In the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, the increase in earnings of $42 million (26%) to $202 million was primarily due to higher equity earnings from Oncor Holdings driven by:

increases in transmission billing units

higher customer consumption primarily attributable to weather

new base rates implemented in May 2023

customer growth

higher interest expense and depreciation expense attributable to invested capital

higher O&M

In the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, the increase in earnings of $142 million to $385 million was primarily due to higher equity earnings from Oncor Holdings driven by:

$13 million from $3 million net interest income in 2024 compared to $10 million net interest expense in 2023 primarily due to higher capitalization of interest expense on projects under construction

$91 million from asset and supply optimization driven by unrealized losses in 2024 compared to unrealized gains in 2023 on commodity derivatives due to changes in natural gas prices

$48 million from the transportation business driven by lower equity earnings and revenues, including the cumulative impact of new tariffs going into effect in June 2023 for certain pipelines in Mexico

$13 million from $7 million net income tax expense in 2024 compared to $6 million net income tax benefit in 2023 primarily from the remeasurement of certain deferred income taxes

$12 million higher O&M and lower revenues from a provision for expected credit losses on a customer’s past due receivable balance

$12 million from TdM driven by unrealized losses in 2024 compared to unrealized gains in 2023 on commodity derivatives due to changes in power and natural gas prices

In the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, the decrease in earnings of $101 million (19%) to $422 million was primarily due to:

$394 million from asset and supply optimization driven by unrealized losses in 2024 compared to unrealized gains in 2023 on commodity derivatives due to changes in natural gas prices and lower LNG diversion fees

$11 million lower income tax expense primarily from the remeasurement of certain deferred income taxes

$9 million from TdM driven by lower natural gas prices and higher volumes net of unrealized losses in 2024 compared to unrealized gains in 2023 on commodity derivatives due to changes in power and natural gas prices

Parent and Other

In the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, the decrease in losses of $8 million (8%) to $96 million was primarily due to:

$31 million from $13 million income tax benefit in 2024 compared to $18 million income tax expense in 2023 from the interim period application of an annual forecasted consolidated ETR

$6 million from higher net interest expense

$5 million related to settlement charges from our non-qualified pension plan in 2024

In the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, the increase in losses of $40 million (26%) to $191 million was primarily due to:

$17 million from higher net interest expense

$11 million lower income tax benefit from the interim period application of an annual forecasted consolidated ETR

$5 million related to settlement charges from our non-qualified pension plan in 2024

The regulatory framework permits SDG&E and SoCalGas to recover certain program expenditures and other costs authorized by the CPUC (referred to as “refundable programs”).

Utilities: Natural Gas Revenues and Cost of Natural Gas

Our utilities revenues include natural gas revenues at Sempra California and Sempra Infrastructure, which includes Ecogas. Intercompany revenues are eliminated in Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

SoCalGas and SDG&E operate under a regulatory framework that permits the cost of natural gas purchased for customers (residential and small commercial and industrial customers, also referred to as core customers for SoCalGas) to be passed through to customers in rates substantially as incurred and without markup. The GCIM provides for SoCalGas to share in the savings and/or costs from buying natural gas for its core customers at prices below or above monthly market-based benchmarks. This mechanism permits full recovery of costs incurred when average purchase costs are within a price range around the benchmark price. Any higher costs incurred or savings realized outside this range are shared between SoCalGas and its core customers. We provide further discussion in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Utilities: Electric Revenues and Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power

Our utilities revenues include electric revenues at Sempra California, substantially all of which is at SDG&E. Intercompany revenues are eliminated in Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

SDG&E operates under a regulatory framework that permits it to recover the actual cost incurred to generate or procure electricity based on annual estimates of the cost of electricity supplied to customers. The differences in cost between estimates and actual are recovered or refunded in subsequent periods through rates.

Utility cost of electric fuel and purchased power includes utility-owned generation, power purchased from third parties, and net power purchases and sales to/from the California ISO.

(1) We discuss how we recognize equity earnings in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

We report as part of our pretax results the income or loss attributable to NCI. However, we do not record income taxes for a portion of this income or loss, as some of our entities with NCI are currently treated as partnerships for U.S. income tax purposes, and thus we are only liable for income taxes on the portion of the earnings that are allocated to us. Our pretax income, however, includes 100% of these entities. If our entities with NCI grow, and if we continue to invest in such entities, the impact on our ETR may become more significant.

In April 2023, the IRS issued Revenue Procedure 2023-15, which provides a safe harbor method of accounting for gas repairs expenditures. Sempra intends to elect this change in tax accounting method in its consolidated 2023 income tax return filing and has applied this methodology in the calculation of its 2024 forecasted ETR.

Sempra records regulatory liabilities for benefits that will be flowed through to customers in the future.

In the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, Sempra had an income tax benefit in 2024 compared to income tax expense in 2023 primarily due to:

$303 million from $186 million income tax benefit in 2024 compared to $117 million income tax expense in 2023 from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico

$31 million from $13 million income tax benefit in 2024 compared to $18 million income tax expense in 2023 from the interim period application of an annual forecasted consolidated ETR

In the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, Sempra’s income tax expense decreased by $509 million primarily due to:

$385 million from $133 million income tax benefit in 2024 compared to $252 million income tax expense in 2023 from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico

We discuss the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and inflation on income taxes below in “Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations.” See Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and Notes 1 and 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report for further details about our accounting for income taxes and items subject to flow-through treatment.

Equity Earnings

In the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, Sempra’s equity earnings increased by $45 million (12%) to $433 million primarily due to:

$43 million at IMG due to income tax benefit in 2024 compared to an income tax expense in 2023 primarily from foreign currency and inflation effects

$42 million at Oncor Holdings driven by:

higher revenues primarily attributable to:

rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital

increases in transmission billing units

higher customer consumption primarily attributable to weather

new base rates implemented in May 2023

customer growth

higher interest expense and depreciation expense attributable to invested capital

higher O&M

$47 million at TAG Norte from the cumulative impact of new tariffs going into effect in June 2023 offset by income tax benefit in 2024 compared to an income tax expense in 2023

In the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, Sempra’s equity earnings increased by $174 million (29%) to $781 million primarily due to:

$142 million at Oncor Holdings driven by:

higher revenues primarily attributable to

rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital

increases in transmission billing units

higher customer consumption primarily attributable to weather

new base rates implemented in May 2023

customer growth

write-off of rate base disallowances in 2023 resulting from the PUCT’s final order in Oncor’s comprehensive base rate review

higher interest expense and depreciation expense attributable to invested capital

higher O&M

$58 million at IMG due to income tax benefit in 2024 compared to an income tax expense in 2023 primarily from foreign currency and inflation effects

$35 million at TAG Norte primarily from the cumulative impact of new tariffs going into effect in June 2023 offset by lower income tax expense

Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

In the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, Sempra’s earnings attributable to NCI increased by $25 million (21%) to $146 million primarily due to an increase in SI Partners’ net income.

In the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, Sempra’s earnings attributable to NCI decreased by $98 million (31%) to $215 million primarily due to a decrease in SI Partners’ net income.

IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION RATES ON RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Because our natural gas distribution utility in Mexico, Ecogas, uses its local currency as its functional currency, revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates for the period for consolidation in Sempra’s results of operations. We discuss further the impact of foreign currency and inflation rates on results of operations, including impacts on income taxes and related hedging activity, in “Part II – Item 7. MD&A – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” in the Annual Report.

Foreign Currency Translation

Any difference in average exchange rates used for the translation of income statement activity from year to year can cause a variance in Sempra’s comparative results of operations. In the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023, the change in our earnings as a result of foreign currency translation rates was negligible.

Transactional Impacts

Income statement activities at our foreign operations and their JVs are also impacted by transactional gains and losses, a summary of which is shown in the table below:
