NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER FINANCIAL DATA

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Sempra

Sempra’s Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Sempra, a California-based holding company, and its consolidated entities, which invest in, develop and operate energy infrastructure in North America, and provide electric and gas services to customers. Sempra hasthree operating and reportable segments, which we describe in Note 16. All references in these Notes to our reportable segments are not intended to refer to any legal entity with the same or similar name.

SDG&E

SDG&E’s common stock is wholly owned by Enova Corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra. SDG&E is a regulated public utility that provides electric service to San Diego and southern Orange counties and natural gas service to San Diego County. SDG&E hasone operating and reportable segment.

SoCalGas’ common stock is wholly owned by Pacific Enterprises, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra. SoCalGas is a regulated public natural gas distribution utility, serving customers throughout most of Southern California and part of central California. SoCalGas hasone operating and reportable segment.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

This is a combined report of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas. We provide separate information for SDG&E and SoCalGas as required. We have eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions within Sempra’s consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements

We have prepared our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. This requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes, including the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Although we believe the estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual amounts ultimately may differ significantly from those estimates.

Subsequent Events

We evaluated events and transactions that occurred after December 31, 2024 through the date the financial statements were issued, and in the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation.

REGULATED OPERATIONS

SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ accounting policies and financial statements reflect the application of U.S. GAAP provisions governing rate-regulated operations and the policies of the CPUC and the FERC. Under these provisions, a regulated utility records regulatory assets, which are generally costs that would otherwise be charged to expense, if it is probable that, through the ratemaking process, the utility will recover those assets from customers. To the extent that recovery is no longer probable, the related regulatory assets are written off. Regulatory liabilities generally represent amounts collected from customers in advance of the actual expenditure by the utility. If the actual expenditures are less than amounts previously collected from customers, the excess would be refunded to customers, generally by reducing future rates. Regulatory assets and liabilities may also arise from other transactions such as unrealized losses and/or gains on fixed-price contracts and other derivatives or certain deferred income tax benefits that are passed through to customers in future rates. In addition, SDG&E and SoCalGas record regulatory liabilities when the CPUC or, in the case of SDG&E, the FERC, requires a refund to be made to customers or has required that a gain or other transaction of net allowable costs be given to customers over future periods.

Determining probability of recovery of regulatory assets requires judgment by management and may include, but is not limited to, consideration of:

▪the nature of the event giving rise to the assessment

▪existing statutes and regulatory code

▪legal precedents

▪regulatory principles and analogous regulatory actions

▪testimony presented in regulatory hearings

▪regulatory orders

▪a commission-authorized mechanism established for the accumulation of costs

▪status of applications for rehearings or state court appeals

▪specific approval from a commission

▪historical experience

Our Sempra Texas Utilities segment is comprised of our equity method investments in Oncor Holdings, which owns an 80.25% interest in Oncor, and Sharyland Holdings, which owns 100% of Sharyland Utilities. Oncor and Sharyland Utilities are regulated electric transmission and distribution utilities in Texas and their rates are regulated by the PUCT and, in the case of Oncor, certain cities and are subject to regulatory rate-setting processes and earnings oversight. Oncor and Sharyland Utilities prepare their financial statements in accordance with the provisions of U.S. GAAP governing rate-regulated operations.

Sempra Infrastructure’s natural gas distribution utility, Ecogas, also applies U.S. GAAP provisions governing rate-regulated operations, including the same evaluation of probability of recovery of regulatory assets described above. Certain business activities at Sempra Infrastructure are regulated by the CRE and the FERC and meet the regulatory accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, primarily NDT and benefit plan trust assets and derivatives. We also measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis in certain circumstances.

A fair value measurement reflects the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best available information. These assumptions include the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and the risks inherent in the inputs to the model. Also, we consider an issuer’s credit standing when measuring its liabilities at fair value.

We establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – Pricing inputs are unadjusted quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Our Level 1 financial instruments primarily consist of listed equities, short-term investments, and U.S. government treasury securities, primarily in the NDT and benefit plan trusts, and exchange-traded derivatives.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including:

▪quoted forward prices for commodities

▪time value

▪current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments

▪volatility factors

▪other relevant economic measures

Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument and can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Our financial instruments in this category include listed equities, domestic corporate bonds, municipal bonds and other foreign bonds, primarily in the NDT and benefit plan trusts, and non-exchange-traded derivatives such as interest rate instruments and over-the-counter forwards and options.

Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value from the perspective of a market participant. Our Level 3 financial instruments consist of CRRs and, until December 31, 2022, fixed-price electricity positions, at SDG&E and the Support Agreement at Sempra Infrastructure.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

We consolidate a VIE if we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Our determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary is based on qualitative and quantitative analyses, which assess:

▪the purpose and design of the VIE;

▪the nature of the VIE’s risks and the risks we absorb;

▪the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and

▪the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE.

We will continue to evaluate our VIEs for any changes that may impact our determination of whether an entity is a VIE and if we are the primary beneficiary.

SDG&E

SDG&E’s power procurement is subject to reliability requirements that may require SDG&E to enter into various PPAs that include variable interests. SDG&E evaluates the respective entities to determine if variable interests exist and, based on the qualitative and quantitative analyses described above, if SDG&E, and indirectly Sempra, is the primary beneficiary.

SDG&E has agreements under which it purchases power generated by facilities for which it supplies all of the natural gas to fuel the power plant (i.e., tolling agreements). SDG&E’s obligation to absorb natural gas costs may be a significant variable interest. In addition, SDG&E has the power to direct the dispatch of electricity generated by these facilities. Based on our analysis, the ability to direct the dispatch of electricity may have the most significant impact on the economic performance of the entity owning the generating facility because of the associated exposure to the cost of natural gas, which fuels the plants, and the value of electricity produced. To the extent that SDG&E (1) is obligated to purchase and provide fuel to operate the facility, (2) has the power to direct the dispatch, and (3) purchases all of the output from the facility for a substantial portion of the facility’s useful life, SDG&E may be the primary beneficiary of the entity owning the generating facility. SDG&E determines if it is the primary beneficiary in these cases based on a qualitative approach in which it considers the operational characteristics of the facility, including its expected power generation output relative to its capacity to generate and the financial structure of the entity, among other factors. If SDG&E determines that it is the primary beneficiary, SDG&E and Sempra consolidate the entity that owns the facility as a VIE.

In addition to tolling agreements, other variable interests involve various elements of fuel and power costs, and other components of cash flows expected to be paid to or received by our counterparties. In most of these cases, the expectation of variability is not substantial, and SDG&E generally does not have the power to direct activities, including the operation and maintenance activities of the generating facility, that most significantly impact the economic performance of the other VIEs. If our ongoing evaluation of these VIEs were to conclude that SDG&E becomes the primary beneficiary and consolidation by SDG&E becomes necessary, the effects could be significant to the financial position and liquidity of SDG&E and Sempra.

SDG&E determined that none of its PPAs and tolling agreements resulted in SDG&E being the primary beneficiary of a VIE at December 31, 2024 and 2023. PPAs and tolling agreements that relate to SDG&E’s involvement with VIEs are primarily accounted for as finance leases. The carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities under these contracts are included in PP&E, net, and finance lease liabilities with balances of $1,138 million and $1,166 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. SDG&E recovers costs incurred on PPAs, tolling agreements and other variable interests through CPUC-approved long-term power procurement plans. SDG&E has no residual interest in the respective 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 15. As a result, SDG&E’s potential exposure to loss from its variable interest in these VIEs is not significant.

Oncor Holdings

Oncor Holdings is a VIE. Sempra is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because of the structural and operational ring-fencing and governance measures in place that prevent us from having the power to direct the significant activities of Oncor Holdings. As a result, we do not consolidate Oncor Holdings and instead account for our ownership interest as an equity method investment. See Note 5 for additional information about our equity method investment in Oncor Holdings and restrictions on our ability to influence its activities. Our maximum exposure to loss, which fluctuates over time, from our interest in Oncor Holdings does not exceed the carrying value of our investment, which was $15,400 million and $14,266 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Cameron LNG JV

Cameron LNG JV is a VIE principally due to contractual provisions that transfer certain risks to customers. Sempra is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of Cameron LNG JV, including LNG production and operation and maintenance activities at the liquefaction facility. Therefore, we account for our investment in Cameron LNG JV under the equity method. The carrying value of our investment was $1,149 million and $1,008 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our maximum exposure to loss, which fluctuates over time, includes the carrying value of our investment and our obligation under the SDSRA, which we discuss in Note 5.

CFIN

As we discuss in Note 5, in July 2020, Sempra entered into a Support Agreement for the benefit of CFIN, which is a VIE. Sempra is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of CFIN, including modification, prepayment, and refinance decisions related to the financing arrangement with external lenders and Cameron LNG JV’sfour project owners as well as the ability to determine and enforce remedies in the event of default. The conditional obligations of the Support Agreement represent a variable interest that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis (see Note 10). Sempra’s maximum exposure to loss under the terms of the Support Agreement is $979 million.

ECA LNG Phase 1

ECA LNG Phase 1 is a VIE because its total equity at risk is not sufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. We expect that ECA LNG Phase 1 will require future capital contributions or other financial support to finance the construction of the facility. Sempra is the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we have the power to direct the activities related to the construction and future operation and maintenance of the liquefaction facility. As a result, we consolidate ECA LNG Phase 1. Sempra consolidated $1,758 million and $1,580 million of assets at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, consisting primarily of PP&E, net, attributable to ECA LNG Phase 1 that could be used only to settle obligations of this VIE and that are not available to settle obligations of Sempra, and $1,080 million and $1,029 million of liabilities at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, consisting primarily of long-term debt attributable to ECA LNG Phase 1 for which creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of Sempra. Additionally, as we discuss in Note 6, IEnova and TotalEnergies SE have provided guarantees for 83.4% and 16.6%, respectively, of the loan facility supporting construction of the liquefaction facility.

Port Arthur LNG

Port Arthur LNG is a VIE because its total equity at risk is not sufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. We expect that Port Arthur LNG will require future capital contributions or other financial support to finance the construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. Sempra is the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we have the power to direct the activities related to the construction and future operation and maintenance of the liquefaction facility. As a result, we consolidate Port Arthur LNG. Sempra consolidated $6,419 million and $3,927 million of assets at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, consisting primarily of PP&E, net, attributable to Port Arthur LNG that could be used only to settle obligations of this VIE and that are not available to settle obligations of Sempra, and $1,584 million and $600 million of liabilities at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, consisting primarily of long-term debt and accounts payable attributable to Port Arthur LNG for which creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of Sempra.

CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH

Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.

Restricted cash includes:

▪certain funds at Port Arthur LNG for which withdrawals and usage are dictated by its debt agreements

▪funds held as collateral in lieu of a customer’s letters of credit associated with its LNG storage and regasification agreement

▪funds denominated in U.S. dollars and Mexican pesos to pay for rights-of-way and other costs pursuant to trust agreements related to pipeline projects

▪funds held in a delisting trust for the purpose of purchasing the remaining publicly owned IEnova shares

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on Sempra’s Consolidated Balance Sheets to the sum of such amounts reported on Sempra’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

CREDIT LOSSES

We are exposed to credit losses from financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other accounts receivable, amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates, our net investment in sales-type leases and a note receivable. We are also exposed to credit losses from off-balance sheet arrangements through Sempra’s guarantee related to Cameron LNG JV’s SDSRA, which we discuss in Note 5.

We regularly monitor and evaluate credit losses and record allowances for expected credit losses, if necessary, for trade and other accounts receivable using a combination of factors, including past-due status based on contractual terms, trends in write-offs, the age of the receivables and customer payment patterns, historical and industry trends, counterparty creditworthiness, economic conditions and specific events, such as bankruptcies, pandemics and other factors. We write off financial assets measured at amortized cost in the period in which we determine they are not recoverable. We record recoveries of amounts previously written off when it is known that they will be recovered.

After considering the past-due status of receivables, payment history and other customer-specific information, in 2024 and 2023, Sempra recorded a provision for expected credit losses of $53 million and $52 million, respectively, on a customer’s past due account balance.

The implementation of customer assistance programs and higher 2023 winter season customer billings have resulted in certain SDG&E and SoCalGas customers exhibiting slower payment and higher levels of nonpayment than has been the case historically.

SDG&E and SoCalGas have regulatory mechanisms to recover credit losses and thus record changes in the allowances for credit losses related to Accounts Receivable – Trade that are probable of recovery in regulatory accounts. We discuss regulatory accounts in Note 4.

Changes in allowances for credit losses for trade receivables and other receivables are as follows:

Allowances for credit losses related to trade receivables and other receivables are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

As we discuss below in “Note Receivable,” we have an interest-bearing promissory note due from KKR Pinnacle. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate credit losses and record allowances for expected credit losses on this note receivable, including compounded interest and unamortized transaction costs, based on published default rate studies, the maturity date of the instrument and an internally developed credit rating. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, $5 million and $6 million, respectively, of expected credit losses are included in Other Long-Term Assets on Sempra’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As we discuss in Note 5, Sempra provided a guarantee for the benefit of Cameron LNG JV related to amounts withdrawn by Sempra Infrastructure from the SDSRA. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate credit losses and record liabilities for expected credit losses on this off-balance sheet arrangement based on external credit ratings, published default rate studies and the maturity date of the arrangement. At both December 31, 2024 and 2023, $5 million of expected credit losses are included in Deferred Credits and Other on Sempra’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk of loss that would be incurred as a result of nonperformance by our counterparties on their contractual obligations. We have policies governing the management of credit risk that are administered by the respective credit departments at each of the Registrants and overseen by their separate risk management committees.

This oversight includes calculating current and potential credit risk on a regular basis and monitoring actual balances in comparison to approved limits. We establish credit limits based on risk and return considerations under terms customarily available in the industry. We avoid concentration of counterparties whenever possible, and we believe our credit policies significantly reduce overall credit risk. These policies include an evaluation of:

▪prospective counterparties’ financial condition (including credit ratings)

▪collateral requirements

▪the use of standardized agreements that allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures associated with a single counterparty

▪downgrade triggers

We believe that we have provided adequate reserves for counterparty nonperformance in our allowances for credit losses.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

We summarize amounts due from and to unconsolidated affiliates at the Registrants in the following table.

(1) U.S. dollar-denominated loans at fixed interest rates. Amounts include principal balances plus accumulated interest outstanding and VAT payable to the Mexican government.

(2) SDG&E and SoCalGas are included in the consolidated income tax return of Sempra, and their respective income tax expense is computed as an amount equal to that which would result from each company having always filed a separate return. Amounts include current and noncurrent income taxes due to/from Sempra.

The following table summarizes income statement information from unconsolidated affiliates.

(1) Includes net commodity costs from natural gas transactions with unconsolidated affiliates.

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas provide certain services to each other and are charged an allocable share of the cost of such services. Also, from time-to-time, SDG&E and SoCalGas may make short-term advances of surplus cash to Sempra at interest rates based on the federal funds effective rate plus a margin of 13 to 20 bps, depending on the loan balance. Such amounts are eliminated in consolidation at Sempra.

SDG&E and SoCalGas charge one another, as well as other Sempra affiliates, for shared asset depreciation. SoCalGas and SDG&E record revenues and the affiliates record corresponding amounts to O&M. Such amounts are eliminated in consolidation at Sempra.

SDG&E has a 20-year contract that commenced in June 2015 for up to 155 MW of renewable power supplied from the ESJ wind power generation facility, a consolidated subsidiary of Sempra. A second 20-year contract between SDG&E and ESJ for up to 108 MW of renewable power supplied from the same facility commenced in January 2022. Such amounts are eliminated in consolidation at Sempra.

The natural gas supply for SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ core natural gas customers is purchased by SoCalGas as a combined procurement portfolio managed by SoCalGas. Core customers are primarily residential and small commercial and industrial customers. This core gas procurement function is considered a shared service; therefore, SoCalGas records revenues net of costs in cost of sales. Such amounts are eliminated in consolidation at Sempra.

SoCalGas provides natural gas transportation and storage services to SDG&E and charges SDG&E for such services monthly. SoCalGas records revenues and SDG&E records a corresponding amount to cost of sales. Such amounts are eliminated in consolidation at Sempra.

SoCalGas provides transportation services to Ecogas. SoCalGas records revenues and Ecogas records a corresponding amount to cost of sales. Such amounts are eliminated in consolidation at Sempra.

SoCalGas and Sempra Infrastructure may buy and sell natural gas from and to each other in open market transactions to help satisfy supply needs. SoCalGas records revenues and costs in cost of sales. Sempra Infrastructure records revenues and costs in revenues. Such amounts are eliminated in consolidation at Sempra.

Sempra Infrastructure has agreements with Cameron LNG JV to provide certain business services and project development services related to the Cameron LNG Phase 2 project.

Sempra Infrastructure provides maintenance and administrative services to TAG Pipelines. Additionally, Sempra Infrastructure subleases office space for personnel to TAG Pipelines and TAG Norte.

Sempra provides guarantees related to Cameron LNG JV’s SDSRA and CFIN’s Support Agreement. We discuss these guarantees in Note 5.

INVENTORIES

SDG&E and SoCalGas value natural gas inventory using the last-in first-out method. Sempra Infrastructure values natural gas inventory at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. We record natural gas to inventory when injected and then to expense when the gas is withdrawn for distribution to customers or to be used as fuel for electric generation.

Sempra Infrastructure values LNG inventory at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. We record LNG to inventory when delivered to our terminals and then to expense when transported from our terminals.

SDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra Infrastructure generally value materials and supplies at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. We record materials and supplies to inventory when purchased and then to expense or capitalized to PP&E, as appropriate, when used.

The components of inventories are as follows:

GREENHOUSE GAS ALLOWANCES AND OBLIGATIONS

SDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra Infrastructure are required by AB 32 to acquire GHG allowances for every metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent emitted into the atmosphere during electric generation and natural gas consumption. SDG&E and SoCalGas receive allocations of GHG allowances on behalf of their customers at no cost and purchase any additional allowances required. We record purchased and allocated GHG allowances at the lower of weighted-average cost or market. We measure the compliance obligation, which is based on emissions, at the carrying value of allowances held plus the fair value of additional allowances necessary to satisfy the obligation. SDG&E and SoCalGas balance costs and revenues associated with the GHG program through regulatory balancing accounts. Sempra Infrastructure records the cost of GHG obligations in cost of sales. We remove the assets and liabilities from the balance sheets as the allowances are surrendered.

WILDFIRE FUND

In July 2019, the Wildfire Legislation was signed into law to address certain issues related to catastrophic wildfires in California and their impact on electric IOUs. Investor-owned gas distribution utilities such as SoCalGas are not covered by this legislation. The issues addressed include wildfire mitigation, cost recovery standards and requirements, a wildfire fund, a cap on liability, and the establishment of a wildfire safety board.

The Wildfire Legislation established a revised legal standard for the recovery of wildfire costs (Revised Prudent Manager Standard) and established a fund (the Wildfire Fund) designed to provide liquidity to SDG&E, PG&E and Edison to pay IOU wildfire-related claims in the event that the governmental agency responsible for determining causation determines the applicable IOU’s equipment caused the ignition of a wildfire, primary insurance coverage is exceeded and certain other conditions are satisfied. A primary purpose of the Wildfire Fund is to pool resources provided by shareholders and ratepayers of the IOUs and make those resources available to reimburse the IOUs for third-party wildfire claims incurred after July 12, 2019, the effective date of the Wildfire Legislation, subject to certain limitations.

An IOU may seek payment from the Wildfire Fund for settled or adjudicated third-party damage claims arising from certain wildfires that exceed, in aggregate in a calendar year, the greater of $1.0 billion or the IOU’s required amount of insurance coverage as recommended by the Wildfire Fund’s administrator. Wildfire claims approved by the Wildfire Fund’s administrator will be paid by the Wildfire Fund to the IOU to the extent funds are available. These utilized funds will be subject to review by the CPUC, which will make a determination as to the degree an IOU’s conduct related to an ignition of a wildfire was prudent or imprudent. The Revised Prudent Manager Standard requires that the CPUC apply clear standards when reviewing wildfire liability losses paid when determining the reasonableness of an IOU’s conduct related to an ignition. Under this standard, the conduct under review related to the ignition may include factors within and beyond the IOU’s control, including humidity, temperature and winds. Costs and expenses may be allocated for cost recovery in full or in part. Also, under this standard, an IOU’s conduct will be deemed reasonable if a valid annual safety certification is in place at the time of the ignition, unless a serious doubt is raised, in which case the burden shifts to the utility to dispel that doubt. The IOUs will receive an annual safety certification from OEIS if they meet various requirements.

If an IOU has maintained a valid annual safety certification, to the extent it is found to be imprudent, claims will be reimbursable by the IOU to the Wildfire Fund up to a cap based on the IOU’s rate base. The aggregate requirement to reimburse the Wildfire Fund over a trailing three calendar year period is capped at 20% of the equity portion of an IOU’s electric transmission and distribution rate base in the year of the prudency determination. Based on its 2024 rate base, the liability cap for SDG&E is approximately $1.4 billion, which is adjusted annually. The liability cap will apply on a rolling three-year basis so long as future annual safety certifications are received and the Wildfire Fund has not been terminated, which could occur if funds are exhausted. Amounts in excess of the liability cap and amounts that are determined to be prudently incurred do not need to be reimbursed by an IOU to the Wildfire Fund. The Wildfire Fund does not have a specified term and coverage will continue until the assets of the Wildfire Fund are exhausted and the Wildfire Fund is terminated, in which case, the remaining funds, if any, will be transferred to California’s general fund to be used for fire risk mitigation programs.

In October 2024, the OEIS approved an update to SDG&E’s 2023-2025 wildfire mitigation plan, which is effective until the OEIS approves a new plan. In December 2024, SDG&E received its annual wildfire safety certification from the OEIS.

The Wildfire Fund was initially funded up to $10.5 billion by a loan from the California Surplus Money Investment Fund. The loan is financed through a DWR bond, which was put in place in October 2020 and is securitized through a dedicated surcharge on ratepayers’ bills attributable to the DWR. In October 2019, the CPUC adopted a decision authorizing a non-bypassable charge to be collected by the IOUs to support the anticipated DWR bond issuance authorized by AB 1054. The CPUC decision also determined that ratepayers of non-participating electrical corporations shall not pay the non-bypassable charge.

The Wildfire Fund was also funded by initial shareholder contributions from the IOUs totaling $7.5 billion. SDG&E’s share was $322.5 million. The IOUs are also required to make annual shareholder contributions to the Wildfire Fund with an aggregate value of $3 billion over a 10-year period starting in 2019. SDG&E’s share is $129 million. The contributions are not subject to rate recovery.

Wildfire Fund Asset and Obligation

In 2019, SDG&E recorded both a Wildfire Fund asset and a related obligation for its commitment to make shareholder contributions of $451.5 million to the Wildfire Fund. SDG&E paid its initial shareholder contribution of $322.5 million to the Wildfire Fund in September 2019. SDG&E funded this contribution with proceeds from an equity contribution from Sempra. SDG&E expects to continue to make annual shareholder contributions of $12.9 million through December 31, 2028. SDG&E is accreting the present value of the Wildfire Fund obligation until the liability is settled.

SDG&E is amortizing the Wildfire Fund asset on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of benefit, as adjusted for utilization by the IOUs. In 2024, SDG&E revised its estimate of the period of benefit from 15 years to 25 years. The estimated period of benefit of the Wildfire Fund asset is based on several assumptions, including, but not limited to:

▪historical wildfire experience of each IOU in California, including frequency and severity of the wildfires

▪the value of property potentially damaged by wildfires

▪the effectiveness of wildfire risk mitigation efforts by each IOU

▪liability cap of each IOU

▪IOU prudency determination levels

▪FERC jurisdictional allocation levels

▪insurance coverage levels

The use of different assumptions, or changes to the assumptions used, could have a significant impact on the estimated period of benefit of the Wildfire Fund asset. SDG&E periodically evaluates the estimated period of benefit of the Wildfire Fund asset based on actual experience and changes in these assumptions. SDG&E recognizes a reduction of its Wildfire Fund asset and records a charge against earnings in the period when there is a reduction of the available coverage due to recoverable claims from any of the participating IOUs. Wildfire claims that are recoverable from the Wildfire Fund, net of anticipated or actual reimbursement to the Wildfire Fund by the responsible IOU, decrease the Wildfire Fund asset and remaining available coverage.

The following table summarizes the location of balances related to the Wildfire Fund on Sempra’s and SDG&E’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE RECEIVABLE

In November 2021, Sempra loaned $300 million to KKR Pinnacle in exchange for an interest-bearing promissory note that is due in full no later than October 2029 and bears compound interest at 5% per annum, which may be paid quarterly or added to the outstanding principal at the election of KKR Pinnacle. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, Other Long-Term Assets includes $349 million and $332 million, respectively, of outstanding principal, compounded interest and unamortized transaction costs, net of allowance for credit losses, on Sempra’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

We test long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances have occurred that may affect the recoverability or the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets. Long-lived assets include intangible assets subject to amortization, but do not include investments in unconsolidated entities. A long-lived asset may be impaired when the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. If that comparison indicates that the asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable, the impairment is measured based on the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. This evaluation is performed at the lowest level for which separately identifiable cash flows exist.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of acquired companies measured at the time of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but we test it for impairment annually on October 1 or whenever events or changes in circumstances necessitate an evaluation. If the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, we record a goodwill impairment loss as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

For our annual goodwill impairment testing, we have the option to first make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount before applying the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If we elect to perform the qualitative assessment, we evaluate relevant events and circumstances, including but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors and the overall financial performance of the reporting unit. If, after assessing these qualitative factors, we determine that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then we perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If, after performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test, we determine that goodwill is impaired, we record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

Goodwill of $1,602 million at both December 31, 2024 and 2023 primarily relates to the 2016 acquisitions of IEnova Pipelines and the Ventika wind power generation facilities at Sempra Infrastructure.

Other Intangible Assets

Other Intangible Assets included on Sempra’s Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows:

Other Intangible Assets at December 31, 2024 primarily include:

▪renewable energy transmission and consumption permits granted by the CRE at the Ventika wind power generation facilities, Don Diego Solar and Border Solar;

▪a favorable O&M agreement acquired in connection with the acquisition of Ductos y Energéticos del Norte, S. de R.L. de C.V.; and

▪the relative fair value of the PPA that was acquired in connection with the acquisition of ESJ.

Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $26 million (including $13.5 million recorded against revenues) in each of 2024, 2023, and 2022. We estimate amortization expense for each of the next five years to be approximately $26 million per year (including $13.5 million per year recorded against revenues).

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

PP&E is recorded at cost and primarily represents the buildings, equipment, other facilities and information systems used by SDG&E and SoCalGas to provide natural gas and electric utility services, and by Other Sempra businesses in their operations, including construction work in progress, leasehold improvements and other equipment. Our PP&E costs include labor, materials and contract services and expenditures for replacement parts incurred during a major maintenance outage of a plant. In addition, the cost of utility plant at our rate-regulated businesses and PP&E under regulated projects that meet the regulatory accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP includes AFUDC. The cost of PP&E for our non-regulated projects includes capitalized interest. Maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The cost of most retired depreciable utility plant assets less salvage value is charged to accumulated depreciation. We discuss assets collateralized as security for certain indebtedness in Note 6.

(1) At December 31, 2024, includes $563 in electric transmission assets and $1 in construction work in progress related to SDG&E’s 86% interest in the Southwest Powerlink transmission line, jointly owned by SDG&E with other utilities. SDG&E, and each of the other owners, holds its undivided interest as a tenant in common in the property. Each owner is responsible for its share of the project and participates in decisions concerning operations and capital expenditures. SDG&E’s share of operating expenses is included in SDG&E’s and Sempra’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(2) Includes $290 and $310 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, of utility plant, primarily pipelines and other distribution assets at Ecogas.

(3) Estimated useful lives are for land rights.

Sempra Infrastructure’s Sonora natural gas pipeline consists oftwo pipeline segments, the Sasabe-Puerto Libertad-Guaymas segment and the Guaymas-El Oro segment. Each segment has its own service agreement with the CFE. Following the start of commercial operations of the Guaymas-El Oro segment, Sempra Infrastructure reported damage to the pipeline in the Yaqui territory that has made that section inoperable since August 2017 because it was not able to be repaired due to legal challenges, which were resolved in March 2023, by some members of the Yaqui tribe. Sempra Infrastructure and the CFE have agreed to an amendment to their transportation services agreement and to re-route the portion of the pipeline that is in the Yaqui territory, whereby the CFE would pay for the re-routing with a new tariff. This amendment will terminate if certain conditions are not met, and Sempra Infrastructure retains the right to terminate the transportation services agreement and seek to recover its reasonable and documented costs and lost profit. Sempra Infrastructure continues to acquire and pursue the necessary rights-of-way and permits for the portion of the pipeline that needs to be re-routed. At December 31, 2024, Sempra Infrastructure had $401 million in PP&E, net, related to the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline, which could be subject to impairment if Sempra Infrastructure is unable to re-route a portion of the pipeline and resume operations or if Sempra Infrastructure terminates the contract and is unable to obtain recovery.

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated composite useful life, the CPUC-prescribed period for SDG&E and SoCalGas, or the remaining term of the site leases, whichever is shortest.

(1) Includes $338 at December 31, 2024 related to SDG&E’s 86% interest in the Southwest Powerlink transmission line, jointly owned by SDG&E and other utilities.

(2) Includes $75 and $82 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, of accumulated depreciation for utility plant at Ecogas.

SDG&E and SoCalGas finance construction projects with debt and equity funds. The CPUC and the FERC allow the recovery of the cost of these funds by the capitalization of AFUDC, calculated using rates authorized by the CPUC and the FERC, as a cost component of PP&E. SDG&E and SoCalGas earn a return on the capitalized AFUDC after the utility property is placed in service and recover the AFUDC from their customers over the expected useful lives of the assets.

Pipeline projects under construction by Sempra Infrastructure that are both subject to certain regulation and meet U.S. GAAP regulatory accounting requirements record the impact of AFUDC.

We capitalize interest costs incurred to finance capital projects and interest at equity method investments that have not commenced planned principal operations.

The table below summarizes capitalized financing costs, comprised of capitalized interest and AFUDC related to debt.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

For tangible long-lived assets, we record AROs for the present value of liabilities of future costs expected to be incurred when assets are retired from service if the retirement process is legally required and if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. We also record a liability if a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement exists and can be reasonably estimated but performance is conditional upon a future event. We record the estimated retirement cost using the present value of the obligation at the time the asset is placed into service and recognize that cost over the life of the related asset by depreciating the asset retirement cost and accreting the obligation until the liability is settled. Our rate-regulated entities record regulatory assets or liabilities as a result of the timing difference between the recognition of costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP and costs recovered through the rate-making process.

We have recorded AROs related to various assets, including:

SDG&E and SoCalGas

▪fuel and storage tanks

▪natural gas transmission and distribution systems

▪hazardous waste storage facilities

▪asbestos-containing construction materials

SDG&E

▪nuclear power facilities

▪electric transmission and distribution systems

▪energy storage systems

▪power generation plants

▪underground natural gas storage facilities and wells

▪LNG terminal

▪natural gas transportation and distribution systems

▪LPG storage facilities

▪refined products terminals

▪power generating plants

The changes in AROs are as follows:

(1) Current portion of the ARO for Sempra is included in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

CONTINGENCIES

We accrue losses for the estimated impacts of various conditions, situations or circumstances involving uncertain outcomes. For loss contingencies, we accrue the loss if an event has occurred on or before the balance sheet date and if:

▪information available through the date we file our financial statements indicates it is probable that a loss has been incurred, given the likelihood of uncertain future events; and

▪the amount of the loss or a range of possible losses can be reasonably estimated.

We do not accrue contingencies that might result in gains. We assess contingencies for litigation claims, environmental remediation and other events.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income includes all changes in the equity of a business enterprise (except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners), including:

▪foreign currency translation adjustments

▪certain hedging activities

▪changes in unamortized net actuarial gain or loss and prior service cost related to pension and PBOP plans

The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) show the changes in the components of OCI, including the amounts attributable to NCI. The following tables present the changes in AOCI by component and amounts reclassified out of AOCI to net income, after amounts attributable to NCI.

(1) All amounts are net of income tax, if subject to tax, and after NCI.

(2) Total AOCI includes $9 of foreign currency translation adjustments associated with the sale of NCI to ADIA in 2022. We discuss this transaction in Note 12 in “Noncontrolling Interests – SI Partners.” This transaction did not impact the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

(3) Total AOCI includes $(46) of financial instruments associated with sale of NCI to KKR Denali in 2023, which we discuss in Note 12 in “Noncontrolling Interests – SI Partners Subsidiaries.” This transaction did not impact the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

(1) Equity earnings at Oncor Holdings and our foreign equity method investees are recognized after tax.

(2) Amounts are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost (see “Pension and PBOP” in Note 8).

REVENUES

See Note 3 for a description of significant accounting policies for revenues.

RENEWABLE ENERGY CERTIFICATES

RECs are energy rights established by governmental agencies for the environmental and social promotion of renewable electricity generation. A REC, and its associated attributes and benefits, can be sold separately from the underlying physical electricity associated with a renewable-based generation source in certain markets.

Retail sellers of electricity obtain RECs through renewable energy PPAs, internal generation or separate purchases in the market to comply with the RPS Program established by the governmental agencies. RECs provide documentation for the generation of a unit of renewable energy that is used to verify compliance with the RPS Program. The cost of RECs at SDG&E, which is recoverable in rates, is recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Statements of Operations.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE EXPENSES

Operation and Maintenance includes O&M and general and administrative costs, consisting primarily of personnel costs, purchased materials and services, insurance, rent, provisions for expected credit losses and litigation expense (except for litigation expense included in Aliso Canyon Litigation and Regulatory Matters).

LEGAL FEES

Legal fees that are associated with a past event for which a liability has been recorded are accrued when it is probable that fees also will be incurred and amounts are estimable.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND TRANSACTIONS

Our natural gas distribution utility in Mexico, Ecogas, uses its local currency as its functional currency. The assets and liabilities of its foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates at the end of the reporting period, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the year. The resulting noncash translation adjustments do not enter into the calculation of earnings or retained earnings but are reflected in OCI and AOCI.

Cash flows of this consolidated foreign subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates for the period. We report the effect of exchange rate changes on cash balances held in foreign currencies in Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash on Sempra’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Foreign currency transaction gains (losses), net, are included in Other Income, Net, on Sempra’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

OTHER INCOME, NET

Other Income, Net, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations consists of the following:

(1) Represents net investment gains (losses) on dedicated assets in support of our executive retirement and deferred compensation plans. These amounts are offset by corresponding changes in compensation expense related to the plans, recorded in O&M on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(2) Includes losses of $11 in 2022 from translation to U.S. dollars of a Mexican peso-denominated loan to IMG, which are offset by corresponding amounts included in Equity Earnings on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense includes current and deferred income taxes. We record deferred income taxes for temporary differences between the book and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. ITCs from prior years are generally amortized to income by SDG&E and SoCalGas over the estimated service lives of the properties as required by the CPUC. However, in 2023, the scope of projects eligible for ITCs was expanded to include standalone energy storage projects, which are transferable under the IRA. The IRA also provided an election that permits ITCs related to standalone energy storage projects to be returned to utility customers over a period that is shorter than the life of the applicable asset.

Under the regulatory accounting treatment required for flow-through temporary differences, the Registrants recognize:

▪regulatory assets to offset deferred income tax liabilities if it is probable that the amounts will be recovered from customers; and

▪regulatory liabilities to offset deferred income tax assets if it is probable that the amounts will be returned to customers.

When there are uncertainties related to potential income tax benefits, the position we take must have at least a more-likely-than-not chance of being sustained (based on the position’s technical merits) upon challenge by the respective authorities in order to qualify for recognition. The term “more-likely-than-not” means a likelihood of more than 50%. Otherwise, we may not recognize any of the potential tax benefit associated with the position. We recognize a benefit for a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not criterion at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon its effective resolution.

Unrecognized income tax benefits involve management’s judgment regarding the likelihood of the benefit being sustained. The final resolution of uncertain tax positions could result in adjustments to recorded amounts and may affect our ETR.

We accrue income tax to the extent we intend to repatriate cash to the U.S. from our continuing international operations. We currently do not record deferred income taxes for other basis differences between financial statement and income tax investment amounts in non-U.S. subsidiaries because they are indefinitely reinvested. We recognize income tax expense for basis differences related to global intangible low-taxed income as a period cost if and when incurred.

We recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes in income tax expense.

We provide additional information about income taxes in Note 7.

RESTRICTED NET ASSETS

Sempra

As we discuss below, SDG&E, SoCalGas and certain Other Sempra entities have restrictions on the amount of funds that can be transferred to Sempra by dividend, advance or loan as a result of conditions imposed by various regulators. Additionally, certain Other Sempra entities are subject to various financial and other covenants and other restrictions contained in debt and credit agreements (described in Note 6) and in other agreements that limit the amount of funds that can be transferred to Sempra. At December 31, 2024, Sempra was in compliance with all covenants related to its debt agreements.

At December 31, 2024, the amount of restricted net assets of consolidated entities of Sempra that may not be distributed to Sempra in the form of a loan or dividend is $17.9 billion. Additionally, the amount of restricted net assets of our unconsolidated entities is $16.3 billion. Although the restrictions cap the amount of funding that the various operating subsidiaries can provide to Sempra, we do not believe these restrictions will have a significant impact on our ability to access cash to pay dividends and fund operating needs.

As we discuss in Note 5, $2.9 billion of Sempra’s retained earnings represents undistributed earnings of equity method investments at December 31, 2024.

SDG&E and SoCalGas

The CPUC’s regulation of SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ capital structures limits the amounts available for dividends and loans to Sempra. At December 31, 2024, Sempra could have received combined loans and dividends of approximately $672 million from SDG&E and approximately $457 million from SoCalGas.

The payment and amount of future dividends by SDG&E and SoCalGas are at the discretion of their respective boards of directors. The following restrictions limit the amount of retained earnings that may be paid as common stock dividends or loaned to Sempra from either utility:

▪The CPUC requires that SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ common equity ratios be no lower than one percentage point below the CPUC-authorized percentage of each entity’s authorized capital structure. The authorized percentage at December 31, 2024 is 52% at both SDG&E and SoCalGas.

▪SDG&E and SoCalGas each have a revolving credit line that requires it to maintain a ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated capitalization (as defined in the agreements) of no more than 65%, as we discuss in Note 6.

Based on these restrictions, at December 31, 2024, SDG&E’s restricted net assets were $10.0 billion, and SoCalGas’ restricted net assets were $7.7 billion, which could not be transferred to Sempra.

Sempra owns a 100% interest in Oncor Holdings, which owns an 80.25% interest in Oncor. As we discuss in Note 5, we account for our investment in Oncor Holdings under the equity method. Significant restrictions at Oncor that limit the amount that may be paid as dividends to Sempra include:

▪In connection with ring-fencing measures, governance mechanisms and commitments, Oncor may not pay any dividends or make any other distributions (except for contractual tax payments) if a majority of its independent directors or a minority member director determines that it is in the best interests of Oncor to retain such amounts to meet expected future requirements.

▪Oncor must remain in compliance with its debt-to-equity ratio established by the PUCT for ratemaking purposes and may not pay dividends or other distributions (except for contractual tax payments) if that payment would cause it to exceed its PUCT authorized debt-to-equity ratio. Oncor’s authorized regulatory capital structure is 57.5% debt to 42.5% equity at December 31, 2024.

▪If the credit rating on Oncor’s senior secured debt by any of the Rating Agencies falls below BBB (or the equivalent), Oncor will suspend dividends and other distributions (except for contractual tax payments), unless otherwise allowed by the PUCT. At December 31, 2024, all of Oncor’s senior secured ratings were above BBB.

▪Oncor’s revolving credit lines and certain of its other debt agreements require it to maintain a consolidated senior debt-to-capitalization ratio of no more than 65% and observe certain affirmative covenants. At December 31, 2024, Oncor was in compliance with these covenants.

Based on these restrictions, at December 31, 2024, Oncor’s restricted net assets were $15.6 billion, which could not be transferred to its owners.

Sempra owns a 50% interest in Sharyland Holdings, which owns a 100% interest in Sharyland Utilities. Significant restrictions related to this equity method investment include:

▪Sharyland Utilities may not pay dividends or make other distributions (except for contractual payments) without the consent of the JV partner.

▪Sharyland Utilities must remain in compliance with the capital structure established by the PUCT for ratemaking purposes and may not pay dividends or other distributions (except for contractual tax payments) if that payment would cause its debt to exceed 60% of its capital structure.

▪Sharyland Utilities has a revolving credit line and three senior notes that require it to maintain a consolidated debt-to-capitalization ratio of no more than 70% and observe certain customary reporting requirements and other affirmative covenants. At December 31, 2024, Sharyland Utilities was in compliance with these and all other covenants.

Based on these restrictions, at December 31, 2024, Sharyland Utilities’ restricted net assets were $136 million, which could not be transferred to its owners.

Significant restrictions at Sempra Infrastructure include:

▪Partnerships and JVs at Sempra Infrastructure may not pay dividends or make other distributions (except for contractual payments) without the consent of the partners.

▪Sempra Infrastructure has an equity method investment in Cameron LNG JV, which has debt agreements that require the establishment and funding of project accounts to which the proceeds of loans, project revenues and other amounts are deposited and applied in accordance with the debt agreements. The debt agreements require the JV to maintain reserve accounts in order to pay the project debt service, and also contain restrictions related to the payment of dividends and other distributions to the members of the JV.

Pursuant to the transfer restriction agreement under the debt agreements, Sempra must retain at least 10% of the indirect fully diluted economic and beneficial ownership interest in Cameron LNG JV. In addition, at all times, a Sempra controlled (but not necessarily wholly owned) subsidiary must directly own 50.2% of the membership interests of Cameron LNG JV.

To support Cameron LNG JV’s obligations under its debt agreements, Cameron LNG JV has granted security over all of its assets, subject to customary exceptions, and all equity interests in Cameron LNG JV were pledged to HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as security trustee for the benefit of all of Cameron LNG JV’s creditors. As a result, an enforcement action by the lenders taken in accordance with the finance documents could result in the exercise of such security interests by the lenders and the loss of ownership interests in Cameron LNG JV by Sempra and the other project partners.

Under these restrictions, net assets of Cameron LNG JV of approximately $443 million were restricted at December 31, 2024.

▪Mexico requires domestic corporations to maintain minimum legal reserves as a percentage of capital stock, resulting in restricted net assets of $185 million at Sempra Infrastructure’s consolidated Mexican subsidiaries at December 31, 2024.

▪IEnova has restrictions under trust agreements related to pipeline projects to pay for rights-of-way and other costs. Under these restrictions, net assets totaling $3 million were restricted at December 31, 2024.

▪TAG Norte, a 50% owned and unconsolidated JV of Sempra Infrastructure, has a long-term debt agreement that requires it to maintain a reserve account to pay the projects’ debt. Under these restrictions, net assets totaling $126 million were restricted at December 31, 2024.

▪Port Arthur LNG has aseven-year term loan facility agreement and working capital credit facility agreement that require consent of a trustee for the withdrawal or transfer of cash. Under these restrictions, net assets totaling $19 million were restricted at December 31, 2024.

NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

We describe below recent accounting pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or disclosures.

ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”: ASU 2023-07 revises reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, public entities are required to disclose the title and position of the CODM and explain how the CODM uses the reported measures of profit or loss to assess segment performance. The standard also requires interim disclosure of certain segment-related disclosures that previously were required only on an annual basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted the standard on December 31, 2024 and revised our segment reporting disclosures in Note 16 on a retrospective basis.

ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”: ASU 2023-09 improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring disaggregated information about each Registrant’s ETR reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. For each annual period, each Registrant will be required to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. We plan to adopt the standard on December 31, 2025 and are currently evaluating the effect of the standard on our financial reporting.

ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”: ASU 2024-03 mandates detailed disclosures on the disaggregation of income statement expenses. Public business entities are required to disclose in the notes to financial statements the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. The standard also requires disclosure of the amount, and a qualitative description of, other items remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and entities may adopt the standard on either a prospective or retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the effect of the standard on our financial reporting and have not yet selected the year in which we will adopt the standard.

NOTE 3. REVENUES

The following tables disaggregate our revenues from contracts with customers by major service line and market. We also provide a reconciliation to total revenues by segment for Sempra. The majority of our revenue is recognized over time.

REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Revenues from contracts with customers are primarily related to the transmission, distribution and storage of natural gas and the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity through our regulated utilities. We also provide other midstream and renewable energy-related services. We assess our revenues on a contract-by-contract basis as well as a portfolio basis to determine the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty, if any, of revenues being recognized.

We generally recognize revenues when performance of the promised commodity or service is provided to customers and invoices are issued for an amount that reflects the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for those services. We consider the delivery and transmission of natural gas and electricity and providing of natural gas storage services as ongoing and integrated services. Generally, natural gas or electricity services are received and consumed by the customer simultaneously. Performance obligations related to these services are satisfied over time and represent a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customers. We recognize revenue based on units delivered, as the satisfaction of respective performance obligations can be directly measured by the amount of natural gas or electricity delivered to the customer. In most cases, the right to consideration from the customer directly corresponds to the value transferred to the customer and we recognize revenue in the amount that we have the right to invoice.

The payment terms in customer contracts vary. Typically, we have an unconditional right to customer payments, which are due after the performance obligation to the customer is satisfied. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is typically between 10 and 90 days.

We exclude sales and usage-based taxes from revenues. In addition, SDG&E and SoCalGas pay franchise fees to operate in various municipalities. SDG&E and SoCalGas bill these franchise fees to their customers based on a CPUC-authorized rate. These franchise fees, which are required to be paid regardless of SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ ability to collect from customers, are accounted for on a gross basis and reflected in utilities revenues from contracts with customers and operating expense.

Utilities Revenues

Utilities revenues represent the majority of our consolidated revenues from contracts with customers and include:

▪The transmission, distribution and storage of natural gas at:

◦SDG&E

◦SoCalGas

◦Sempra’s Ecogas

▪The generation, transmission and distribution of electricity at SDG&E.

Utilities revenues are derived from and recognized upon the delivery of natural gas or electricity services to customers. Amounts that we bill customers are based on tariffs set by regulators within the respective state or country. For SDG&E and SoCalGas, amounts that we bill to customers also include adjustments for previously recognized regulatory revenues.

SDG&E, SoCalGas and Ecogas recognize revenues based on regulator-approved revenue requirements, which allow the utilities to recover their reasonable operating costs and provides the opportunity to realize their authorized rates of return on their investments. While SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ revenues are not affected by actual sales volumes, the pattern of their revenue recognition during the year is affected by seasonality. SDG&E and SoCalGas recognize annual authorized revenue from customers using seasonal factors established in applicable proceedings. This generally results in a significant portion of operating revenues being recognized in the third quarter of each year for SDG&E and in the first and fourth quarters of each year for SoCalGas.

SDG&E has an arrangement to provide the California ISO with the ability to control its high-voltage transmission lines for prices approved by the FERC. Revenue is recognized over time as access is provided to the California ISO.

Factors that can affect the amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows include weather, seasonality and timing of customer billings and collections, which may result in unbilled revenues that can vary significantly from month to month and generally approximate one-half month’s deliveries.

SDG&E and SoCalGas recognize revenues from the sale of allocated California GHG emission allowances at quarterly auctions administered by CARB. GHG allowances are delivered to CARB in advance of the quarterly auctions, and SDG&E and SoCalGas have the right to payment when the GHG allowances are sold at auction. GHG revenue is recognized on a point in time basis within the quarter the auction is held. SDG&E and SoCalGas balance costs and revenues associated with the GHG program through regulatory balancing accounts.

Energy-Related Businesses Revenues

Revenues at Sempra Infrastructure typically represent revenues from long-term, U.S. dollar-based contracts with customers for the sale of natural gas and LNG, as well as storage and transportation of natural gas. Invoiced amounts are based on the volume of natural gas delivered and contracted prices.

We generate pipeline transportation revenues from firm agreements, under which customers pay a fee for reserving transportation capacity. Revenue is recognized when the volumes are delivered to the customers’ agreed upon delivery point. We recognize revenues for our stand-ready obligation to provide capacity and transportation services throughout the contractual delivery period, as the benefits are received and consumed simultaneously as customers utilize pipeline capacity for the transport and receipt of natural gas and LPG. Invoiced amounts are based on a variable usage fee and a fixed capacity charge, adjusted for the Consumer Price Index, the effects of any foreign currency impacts and the actual quantity of commodity transported.

Sempra Infrastructure develops, invests in and operates solar and wind facilities that have long-term PPAs to sell the electricity and the related green energy attributes they generate to customers, generally load serving entities, industrial and other customers. Load serving entities will sell electric service to their end-users and wholesale customers immediately upon receipt of our power delivery, and industrial and other customers immediately consume the electricity to run their facilities, and thus, we recognize the revenue under the PPAs as the electricity is generated and delivered. We invoice customers based on the volume of energy delivered at rates pursuant to the PPAs.

TdM is a natural gas-fired power plant that generates revenues from selling electricity and/or resource adequacy to the California ISO and to governmental, public utility and wholesale power marketing entities as the power is delivered at the interconnection point.

We recognize storage revenue from firm capacity reservation agreements, under which we collect a fee for reserving storage capacity for customers in our storage facilities. Under these firm agreements, customers pay a monthly fixed reservation fee based on the storage capacity reserved rather than the actual volumes stored. For the fixed-fee component, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. We bill customers for any capacity used in excess of the contracted capacity and such revenues are recognized in the month of occurrence. We also recognize revenue for interruptible storage services.

Sempra Infrastructure sells natural gas to the CFE and other customers under supply agreements. Sempra Infrastructure recognizes the revenue from the sale of natural gas upon transfer of the natural gas via pipelines to customers at the agreed upon delivery points, and in the case of the CFE, at its thermoelectric power plants.

Remaining Performance Obligations

We do not disclose information about remaining performance obligations for (a) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (b) variable consideration recognized at the amount at which we have the right to invoice for services performed, or (c) variable consideration allocated to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations.

For contracts greater than one year, at December 31, 2024, we expect to recognize revenue related to the fixed fee component of the consideration as shown below. Sempra’s remaining performance obligations primarily relate to capacity agreements for natural gas storage and transportation at Sempra Infrastructure and transmission line projects at SDG&E. SoCalGas did not have any remaining performance obligations for contracts greater than one year at December 31, 2024.

(1)Excludes intercompany transactions.

Contract Liabilities from Revenues from Contracts with Customers

From time to time, we receive payments in advance of satisfying the performance obligations associated with customer contracts. We defer such revenues as contract liabilities and recognize them in earnings as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Activities within Sempra’s and SDG&E’s contract liabilities are presented below. There were no contract liabilities at SoCalGas in 2024, 2023 or 2022.

(1) Balances at December 31, 2024 and 2023 include $105 and $5, respectively, in Other Current Liabilities and $91 and $193, respectively, in Deferred Credits and Other.

(2) Balances at December 31, 2024 and 2023 include $4 and $3, respectively, in Other Current Liabilities and $68 and $72, respectively, in Deferred Credits and Other.

Sempra Infrastructure previously recorded a contract liability for funds held as collateral in lieu of a customer’s letters of credit primarily associated with its LNG storage and regasification agreement. In December 2024, Sempra Infrastructure and the customer agreed to modify their LNG storage and regasification agreement by reducing the remaining term of the agreement from approximately three years toone year, now expiring in December 2025. As a result of the modification, Sempra Infrastructure will recognize approximately $107 million, which the customer paid in advance, in revenue over the remaining one-year term. The net effect to our contract liabilities is reflected in “contract modification” in the table above.

As we discuss in Note 1 in “Property, Plant and Equipment,” Sempra Infrastructure and the CFE have agreed to an amendment to their transportation services agreement for the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline. Sempra Infrastructure determined that the amended transportation services agreement met the definition of a lease. In December 2023, Sempra reclassified $61 million from contract liabilities to other noncurrent liabilities, both within Deferred Credits and Other on Sempra’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Receivables from Revenues from Contracts with Customers

The table below shows receivable balances, net of allowances for credit losses, associated with revenues from contracts with customers on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(1) At December 31, 2024 and 2023, includes $144 and $148, respectively, of receivables due from customers that were billed on behalf of CCAs, which are not included in revenues.

(2) Amount is presented net of amounts due to unconsolidated affiliates on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, when right of offset exists.

(3) In January 2024, the CPUC directed SDG&E and SoCalGas to offer long-term repayment plans to eligible residential customers with past-due balances.

REVENUES FROM SOURCES OTHER THAN CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Certain of our revenues are derived from sources other than contracts with customers and are accounted for under other accounting standards outside the scope of ASC 606.

Utilities Regulatory Revenues

Alternative Revenue Programs

We recognize revenues from alternative revenue programs when the regulator-specified conditions for recognition have been met and adjust these revenues as they are recovered or refunded through future utility service.

Decoupled Revenues. As we discuss above, the regulatory framework requires SDG&E and SoCalGas to recover authorized revenue based on estimated annual demand forecasts approved in regular proceedings before the CPUC. However, actual demand for natural gas and electricity will generally vary from CPUC-approved forecasted demand due to the impacts from weather volatility, energy efficiency programs, rooftop solar and other factors affecting consumption. The CPUC regulatory framework provides for SDG&E and SoCalGas to use a “decoupling” mechanism, which allows SDG&E and SoCalGas to record revenue shortfalls or excess revenues resulting from any difference between actual and forecasted demand to be recovered or refunded in authorized revenue in a subsequent period based on the nature of the account.

Incentive Mechanisms. SoCalGas is subject to the GCIM and is eligible for financial awards or subject to financial penalties depending on its performance in relation to specific benchmarks.

Incentive awards are included in revenues when we receive required CPUC approval of the award, the timing of which may not be consistent from year to year. We would record penalties for results below the specified benchmarks against revenues when we believe it is probable that the CPUC would assess a penalty.

Other Cost-Based Regulatory Recovery

The CPUC, and the FERC as it relates to SDG&E, authorize SDG&E and SoCalGas to collect, or in the case of CPUC programmatic activities, to apply for additional, revenue requirements beyond base rates from customers for certain operating and capital related costs (depreciation, taxes and return on rate base), including for:

▪costs to purchase natural gas and electricity;

▪costs associated with administering public purpose, demand response, environmental compliance, and customer energy efficiency programs;

▪other programmatic activities, such as gas distribution, gas transmission, gas storage integrity management and wildfire mitigation; and

▪costs associated with third party liability insurance premiums.

Authorized costs are recovered as the commodity or service is delivered. To the extent authorized amounts collected vary from actual costs, the differences are generally recovered or refunded in a subsequent period based on the nature of the balancing account mechanism. In general, the revenue recognition criteria for balanced costs billed to customers are met when the costs are incurred. Because these costs are substantially recovered in rates through a balancing account mechanism, changes in these costs are reflected as changes in revenues. The CPUC and the FERC may impose various review procedures before authorizing recovery or refund of amounts accumulated for authorized programs, including limitations on the program’s total cost, revenue requirement limits or reviews of costs for reasonableness. These procedures could result in delays or disallowances of recovery from customers.

We discuss balancing accounts and their effects further in Note 4.

Other Revenues

Sempra Infrastructure generates lease revenues from certain of its natural gas and ethane pipelines, compressor stations, LPG storage facilities, a rail facility and refined products terminals. We discuss the recognition of lease income in Note 15.

Sempra Infrastructure has an agreement with Tangguh PSC to supply LNG to the ECA Regas Facility. Under the terms of the agreement, Tangguh PSC must either deliver the contracted number of cargoes or pay a diversion fee for non-delivery of LNG cargoes.

Sempra Infrastructure also recognizes other revenues associated with derivatives related to the sales of natural gas and electricity under short-term and long-term contracts and into the spot market and other competitive markets. Revenues include the net realized gains and losses on physical and derivative settlements and net unrealized gains and losses from the change in fair values of these derivatives.

NOTE 4. REGULATORY MATTERS

REGULATORY ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

We show the details of regulatory assets and liabilities in the following table and discuss them below. With the exception of regulatory balancing accounts, we generally do not earn a return on our regulatory assets until a related cash expenditure has been made. Upon the occurrence of a cash expenditure associated with a regulatory asset, the related amounts are recoverable through a regulatory account mechanism for which we earn a return authorized by applicable regulators, which generally approximates the three-month commercial paper rate. The periods during which we recognize a regulatory asset while we do not earn a return vary by regulatory asset.

(1) At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the noncurrent portion of regulatory balancing accounts – net undercollected for Sempra was $1,731 and $1,913, respectively, for SDG&E was $873 and $950, respectively, and for SoCalGas was $858 and $963, respectively.

(2) Includes regulatory assets earning a return authorized by applicable regulators, which generally approximates the three-month commercial paper rate.

Regulatory Assets Not Earning a Return

▪Regulatory assets arising from fixed-price contracts and other derivatives are offset by corresponding liabilities arising from purchased power and natural gas commodity and transportation contracts. The regulatory asset is increased/decreased based on changes in the fair market value of the contracts. It is also reduced as payments are made for commodities and services under these contracts. The related amounts are recovered in rates once these contracts are settled, generally within four years.

▪Deferred income taxes recoverable/refundable in rates are based on current regulatory ratemaking and income tax laws. SDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra Infrastructure expect to recover/refund net regulatory assets/liabilities related to deferred income taxes over the lives of the assets, ranging from 5 to 69 years, that give rise to the related accumulated deferred income tax balances. Regulatory assets and liabilities include excess deferred income taxes resulting from statutory income tax rate changes and certain income tax benefits and expenses associated with flow-through items, which we discuss in Note 7.

▪Regulatory assets/liabilities related to pension and PBOP plan obligations are offset by corresponding liabilities/assets. The assets are recovered in rates as the plans are funded.

▪The regulatory asset related to employee benefit costs represents our liability associated with long-term disability insurance that will be recovered from customers in future rates as expenditures are made.

▪Regulatory liabilities from removal obligations represent cumulative amounts collected in rates for future asset removal costs in excess of cumulative amounts incurred (or paid).

▪Regulatory assets related to environmental costs represent the portion of our environmental liability recognized at the end of the period in excess of the amount that has been recovered through rates charged to customers. We expect this amount to be recovered in future rates as expenditures are made.

▪The regulatory asset related to Sunrise Powerlink fire mitigation is offset by a corresponding liability for the funding of a trust to cover the mitigation costs. SDG&E expects to recover the regulatory asset in rates as the trust is funded over a remaining 45-year period.

Regulatory Assets Earning a Return

▪Over- and undercollected regulatory balancing accounts and other regulatory assets, net, reflect the difference between customer billings and recorded or CPUC-authorized amounts. Depreciation, taxes and return on rate base may also be included in certain accounts. Amounts in the balancing accounts are recoverable (receivable) or refundable (payable) in future rates, subject to CPUC approval. The adopted revenue requirements in the 2024 GRC FD were placed into rates on February 1, 2025 and the incremental revenue requirements associated with the period from January 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025 are being recovered in rates over an 18-month period that began on February 1, 2025. SDG&E and SoCalGas periodically make requests to the CPUC to true up their revenue requirement for amounts accumulated in the regulatory balancing accounts and in other regulatory assets, net. The CPUC may impose various review procedures before authorizing recovery or refund of amounts accumulated for authorized programs, including limitations on the program’s total cost, revenue requirement limits or reviews of costs for reasonableness. These procedures could result in delays or disallowances of recovery from customers.

Amortization expense on certain regulatory assets for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $14 million, $12 million and $11 million, respectively, at Sempra, $7 million, $6 million and $5 million, respectively, at SDG&E, and $7 million, $6 million and $6 million, respectively, at SoCalGas.

CPUC GRC

The CPUC uses GRCs to set revenues to allow SDG&E and SoCalGas to recover their reasonable operating costs and to provide the opportunity to realize their authorized rates of return on their investments. In December 2024, the CPUC approved an FD in the 2024 GRC for SDG&E and SoCalGas that authorizes SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ revenue requirements for 2024 and attrition year adjustments for 2025 through 2027, inclusively.

The GRC FD adopts a 2024 revenue requirement of $2,699 million for SDG&E’s combined operations ($2,193 million for its electric operations and $506 million for its natural gas operations). SDG&E’s authorized 2024 combined revenue requirement represents an increase of $189 million (7.5%) over its authorized 2023 combined revenue requirement. In connection with SDG&E’s election to change its tax accounting method for gas repairs expenditures, the 2024 combined revenue requirement increase is net of $68 million of income tax benefits for 2023 and 2024 to be flowed through to customers. The GRC FD also specifies an increase in SDG&E’s 2025, 2026, and 2027 combined revenue requirements of $147 million (5.45%), $119 million (4.17%) and $122 million (4.11%), respectively, over the preceding year’s combined revenue requirement. The 2025, 2026 and 2027 revenue requirements will be updated to implement a previously authorized change in the cost of capital, which we describe below, that adjusted SDG&E’s rate of return to 7.45%.

The GRC FD adopts a 2024 revenue requirement of $3,806 million for SoCalGas. SoCalGas’ authorized 2024 revenue requirement represents an increase of $324 million (9.3%) over its authorized 2023 revenue requirement. In connection with SoCalGas’ election to change its tax accounting method for gas repairs expenditures, the 2024 revenue requirement increase is net of $202 million of income tax benefits for 2023 and 2024 to be flowed through to customers. The GRC FD also specifies an increase in SoCalGas’ 2025, 2026, and 2027 revenue requirements of $190 million (5.00%), $116 million (2.91%) and $120 million (2.92%), respectively, over the preceding year’s revenue requirement. The 2025, 2026 and 2027 revenue requirements will be updated to implement a previously authorized change in the cost of capital, which we describe below, that adjusted SoCalGas’ rate of return to 7.49%.

The GRC provides SDG&E and SoCalGas with numerous mechanisms to seek cost recovery of specified projects and programs. We expect that the requests for cost recovery of these projects and programs, which remain subject to CPUC approval, will result in additional amounts of authorized revenue requirement that are not included in the amounts described above.

Since the GRC FD is effective retroactive to January 1, 2024, SDG&E and SoCalGas recorded the retroactive impacts in the fourth quarter of 2024.

2024 GRC Track 2

In October 2023, SDG&E submitted a separate request to the CPUC in its 2024 GRC, known as a Track 2 request. This request seeks review and recovery of $1.5 billion of wildfire mitigation plan costs incurred from 2019 through 2022 that were in addition to amounts authorized in the 2019 GRC and not addressed in the 2024 GRC FD. SDG&E expects to receive a proposed decision for its Track 2 request in the first half of 2025.

Revenue requirements associated with the Track 2 request have been recorded in a regulatory account. In February 2024, the CPUC approved an interim cost recovery mechanism that permits SDG&E to recover in rates $194 million and $96 million of this regulatory account balance in 2024 and 2025, respectively. Such recovery of SDG&E’s wildfire mitigation plan regulatory account balance will be subject to refund, contingent on the reasonableness review decision for its Track 2 request.

2024 GRC Track 3

SDG&E expects to submit in the first half of 2025 an additional request to the CPUC in its 2024 GRC, known as a Track 3 request, for review and recovery of wildfire mitigation plan costs incurred in 2023. The GRC FD expanded the scope of the Track 3 filing to include review of SoCalGas’ and SDG&E’s Pipeline Safety Enhancement Plan costs incurred from 2015 to 2020, inclusively.

CPUC COST OF CAPITAL

A CPUC cost of capital proceeding every three years determines a utility’s authorized capital structure and authorized return on rate base. The CCM applies in the interim years and considers changes in the cost of capital based on changes in interest rates based on the applicable utility bond index published by Moody’s (CCM benchmark rate) for each 12-month period ending September 30 (the measurement period). The index applicable to SDG&E and SoCalGas is based on each utility’s credit rating. The CCM benchmark rate is the basis of comparison to determine if the CCM is triggered in each measurement period, which occurs if the change in the applicable Moody’s utility bond index relative to the CCM benchmark rate is larger than plus or minus 1.00% for the measurement period. Alternatively, each of SDG&E and SoCalGas is permitted to file a cost of capital application to have its cost of capital determined in lieu of the CCM in an interim year in which an extraordinary or catastrophic event materially impacts its cost of capital and affects utilities differently than the market as a whole.

The CPUC-approved cost of capital for SDG&E and SoCalGas that became effective on January 1, 2020 remained in effect through December 31, 2022. The CPUC subsequently approved the cost of capital for SDG&E and SoCalGas that became effective on January 1, 2023 and was to remain in effect through December 31, 2025, subject to the CCM. The CCM was triggered for SDG&E and SoCalGas for the measurement period ending September 30, 2023, and in December 2023, the CPUC approved updated authorized rates of return effective January 1, 2024.

In October 2023, the CPUC issued a ruling to initiate a second phase of the 2023-2025 cost of capital proceeding to evaluate potential modifications to the CCM. In October 2024, the CPUC issued an FD to modify the CCM. The FD updates the upward or downward adjustment to authorized ROE, if the CCM is triggered, from 50% to 20% of the change in the benchmark rate during the measurement period. The FD adopted this change effective January 1, 2025, reducing both SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ ROE by 42 bps to 10.23% and 10.08%, respectively, and allowing SDG&E and SoCalGas to update their respective costs of preferred equity and debt for 2025.

The following table summarizes the cost of capital for SDG&E and SoCalGas. The authorized weighting remained unchanged for each of the years presented.

(1) Total weighted return on rate base for SDG&E does not sum due to rounding differences.

FERC RATE MATTERS

SDG&E files separately with the FERC for its authorized transmission revenue requirement and ROE on FERC-regulated electric transmission operations and assets.

TO5 Settlement

SDG&E’s authorized TO5 settlement provided for an ROE of 10.60%, consisting of a base ROE of 10.10% plus the California ISO adder. In December 2024, the FERC issued an order, which SDG&E has appealed, finding that SDG&E is not eligible for the California ISO adder and that the TO5 adder refund provision has been triggered, requiring SDG&E to refund customers the California ISO adder retroactively from June 1, 2019. As a result of the FERC order, SDG&E recorded a charge of $120 million ($89 million after tax) with $94 million in Electric Revenues and $26 million in Other Income, Net, on the SDG&E and Sempra Consolidated Statements of Operations in the year ended December 31, 2024.

TO6 Filing

In June 2024, SDG&E exercised its right to terminate the TO5 settlement. Accordingly, in October 2024, SDG&E submitted its TO6 filing to the FERC, requested to be effective January 1, 2025, and subject to refund. SDG&E’s TO6 filing proposes, among other items, an increase to SDG&E’s currently authorized base ROE from 10.10% to 11.75% plus the California ISO adder, for a total ROE of 12.25%. In December 2024, the FERC accepted SDG&E’s TO6 filing but suspended the effective date to June 1, 2025 and disallowed the inclusion of the California ISO adder, which SDG&E has appealed.

NOTE 5. SEMPRA – INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

We generally account for investments under the equity method when we have significant influence over, but do not have control of, these entities. Equity earnings and losses, both before and net of income tax, are combined and presented as Equity Earnings on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Distributions received from equity method investees are classified in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as either a return on investment in operating activities or a return of investment in investing activities based on the “nature of the distribution” approach.

Our equity method investments include various domestic and foreign entities. Our domestic equity method investees are typically partnerships that are pass-through entities for income tax purposes and therefore they do not record income tax. Sempra’s income tax on earnings from these equity method investees, other than Oncor Holdings as we discuss below, is included in Income Tax Expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our foreign equity method investees are generally corporations whose operations are taxable on a standalone basis in the countries in which they operate, and we recognize our equity in such income or loss net of investee income tax. See Note 7 for information on how equity earnings and losses before income taxes are factored into the calculations of our pretax income or loss and ETR.

We provide the carrying values of our investments and earnings on these investments by segment in the following tables.

(1) All amounts are before NCI, where applicable.

(2) The carrying value of our equity method investment is $2,884 and $2,870 higher than the underlying equity in the net assets of the investee at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, due to $2,868 of equity method goodwill and $69 in basis differences in AOCI, offset by $53 and $67 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, due to a tax sharing liability to TTI under a tax sharing agreement.

(3) The carrying value of our equity method investment is $41 higher than the underlying equity in the net assets of the investee due to equity method goodwill.

(4) The carrying value of our equity method investment is $257 and $262 higher than the underlying equity in the net assets of the investee at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily due to guarantees, interest capitalized on the investment prior to the JV commencing its operations, and amortization of guarantee fees and capitalized interest thereafter.

(5) The carrying value of our equity method investment is $5 higher than the underlying equity in the net assets of the investee due to guarantees.

(6) The carrying value of our equity method investment is $130 higher than the underlying equity in the net assets of the investee due to equity method goodwill.

(1) All amounts are before NCI, where applicable.

(2) We provide our ETR calculation in Note 7.

(3) Includes $9 and $12 of basis differences in equity earnings related to AOCI in 2023 and 2022, respectively.

We provide the contributions to and distributions from our investments by segment in the following tables.

(1) Includes a $13 noncash return on investment in 2024. When including payments received under a tax sharing agreement, cash and noncash distributions would total $681, $558 and $443 in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, our share of the undistributed earnings of equity method investments was $2.9 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, including $630 million at December 31, 2024 in undistributed earnings from investments for which we have less than 50% equity interests.

ONCOR HOLDINGS

We account for our 100% equity ownership interest in Oncor Holdings, which owns an 80.25% interest in Oncor, as an equity method investment. Sempra does not control Oncor Holdings or Oncor, and the ring-fencing measures, governance mechanisms and commitments in effect limit our ability to direct the management, policies and operations of Oncor Holdings and Oncor, including the deployment or disposition of their assets, declarations of dividends, strategic planning and other important corporate issues and actions. We also have limited representation on the Oncor Holdings and Oncor boards of directors.

Oncor is a domestic partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is not included in the consolidated income tax return of Sempra. Rather, only our pretax equity earnings from our investment in Oncor Holdings (a disregarded entity for tax purposes) are included in our consolidated income tax return. A tax sharing agreement with TTI, Oncor Holdings and Oncor provides for the calculation of an income tax liability substantially as if Oncor Holdings and Oncor were taxed as corporations and requires tax payments determined on that basis. While partnerships are not subject to income taxes, in consideration of the tax sharing agreement and Oncor being subject to the provisions of U.S. GAAP governing rate-regulated operations, Oncor recognizes amounts determined under cost-based regulatory rate-setting processes (with such costs including income taxes), as if it were taxed as a corporation. As a result, since Oncor Holdings consolidates Oncor, we recognize equity earnings from our investment in Oncor Holdings net of its recorded income tax.

We provide summarized income statement and balance sheet information for Oncor Holdings in the following table.

(1)Excludes adjustments to equity earnings related to amortization of a tax sharing liability associated with a tax sharing agreement and changes in basis differences in AOCI within the carrying value of our equity method investment.

SHARYLAND HOLDINGS

We account for our 50% ownership interest in Sharyland Holdings, a JV with SU Investment Partners, L.P. that owns a 100% interest in Sharyland Utilities, as an equity method investment.

CAMERON LNG JV

Cameron LNG JV is a JV between Sempra and three project partners, TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd., and Japan LNG Investment, LLC, a company jointly owned by Mitsubishi Corporation and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha. We account for SI Partners’50.2% investment in Cameron LNG JV under the equity method.

Sempra Promissory Note for SDSRA Distribution

Cameron LNG JV’s debt agreements require Cameron LNG JV to maintain the SDSRA, which is an additional reserve account beyond the Senior Debt Service Accrual Account, where funds accumulate from operations to satisfy senior debt obligations due and payable on the next payment date. Both accounts can be funded with cash or authorized investments. In June 2021, Sempra Infrastructure received a distribution of $165 million based on its proportionate share of the SDSRA, for which Sempra provided a promissory note and letters of credit to secure a proportionate share of Cameron LNG JV’s obligation to fund the SDSRA. Sempra’s maximum exposure to loss is replenishment of the amount withdrawn by Sempra Infrastructure from the SDSRA, or $165 million. We recorded a guarantee liability of $22 million in June 2021, with an associated carrying value of $18 million at December 31, 2024, for the fair value of the promissory note, which is being reduced over the duration of the guarantee through Sempra Infrastructure’s investment in Cameron LNG JV. The guarantee will terminate upon full repayment of Cameron LNG JV’s debt, scheduled to occur in 2039, or replenishment of the amount withdrawn by Sempra Infrastructure from the SDSRA.

Sempra Support Agreement for CFIN

In July 2020, CFIN entered into a financing arrangement with Cameron LNG JV’sfour project owners and received aggregate proceeds of $1.5 billion fromtwo project owners and from external lenders on behalf of the othertwo project owners (collectively, the affiliate loans), based on their proportionate ownership interest in Cameron LNG JV. CFIN used the proceeds from the affiliate loans to provide a loan to Cameron LNG JV. The affiliate loans mature in 2039. Principal and interest are paid from Cameron LNG JV’s project cash flows from its three-train natural gas liquefaction facility. Cameron LNG JV used the proceeds from its loan to return equity to its project owners.

Sempra Infrastructure’s $753 million proportionate share of the affiliate loans, based on SI Partners’50.2% ownership interest in Cameron LNG JV, was funded by external lenders comprised of a syndicate ofeight banks (the bank debt) to whom Sempra has provided a guarantee pursuant to a Support Agreement under which:

▪Sempra has severally guaranteed repayment of the bank debt plus accrued and unpaid interest if CFIN fails to pay the external lenders;

▪the external lenders may exercise an option to put the bank debt to Sempra Infrastructure upon the occurrence of certain events, including a failure by CFIN to meet its payment obligations under the bank debt;

▪the external lenders will put some or all of the bank debt to Sempra Infrastructure on the fifth, tenth, or fifteenth anniversary date of the affiliate loans, except the portion of the debt owed to any external lender that has elected not to participate in the put option three months prior to the respective anniversary date;

▪Sempra Infrastructure also has a right to call the bank debt back from, or to refinance the bank debt with, the external lenders at any time; and

▪the Support Agreement will terminate upon full repayment of the bank debt, including repayment following an event in which the bank debt is put to Sempra Infrastructure.

In exchange for this guarantee, the external lenders pay a guarantee fee that is based on the credit rating of Sempra’s long-term senior unsecured non-credit enhanced debt rating, which guarantee fee Sempra Infrastructure recognizes as interest income as earned. Sempra’s maximum exposure to loss is the bank debt plus any accrued and unpaid interest and related fees, subject to a liability cap of 130% of the bank debt, or $979 million. We measure the Support Agreement at fair value, net of related guarantee fees, on a recurring basis (see Note 10). At December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Support Agreement was $25 million, of which $7 million is included in Other Current Assets and $18 million is included in Other Long-Term Assets on Sempra’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

IMG

SI Partners’ has a 40% interest in IMG, a JV with a subsidiary of TC Energy Corporation, and accounts for its interest as an equity method investment. IMG owns and operates the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan natural gas marine pipeline, which is fully contracted under a 35-year natural gas transportation service contract with the CFE.

TAG NORTE

SI Partners’ has a 50% beneficial ownership interest in TAG Norte, a JV with TETL JV Mexico Norte, S. de R.L. de C.V. and Bravo N Mergeco, S. de R.L. de C.V. that owns a 50% interest in the Los Ramones Norte pipeline. SI Partners accounts for its 50% interest in TAG Norte as an equity method investment.

RBS SEMPRA COMMODITIES LLP

RBS Sempra Commodities LLP is a United Kingdom limited liability partnership formed by Sempra and The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (RBS) in 2008 to own and operate the commodities-marketing businesses previously operated through wholly owned subsidiaries of Sempra. We and RBS sold substantially all of the partnership’s businesses and assets in four separate transactions completed in 2010 and 2011. Since 2011, our investment balance has reflected our share of the remaining partnership assets, including amounts retained by the partnership to help offset unanticipated future general and administrative costs necessary to complete the dissolution of the partnership and the distribution of the partnership’s remaining assets, if any. We accounted for our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities LLP under the equity method.

In 2018, we fully impaired our remaining equity method investment in RBS Sempra Commodities LLP. In 2023, we reduced our previously recorded estimate of losses by $40 million based on a settlement that fully resolved legal matters that we discuss in “Legal Proceedings – Other Sempra” in Note 15. In 2024, we substantially completed the dissolution of the partnership, at which time we recorded $19 million ($16 million after tax) in Equity Earnings on Sempra’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We present summarized financial information below, aggregated for all other equity method investments (excluding Oncor Holdings and RBS Sempra Commodities LLP) for the periods in which we were invested in the entities. The amounts below represent the results of operations and aggregate financial position of 100% of each of Sempra’s other equity method investments.

(1)Except for our investments in Mexico, there was no income tax recorded by the entities, as they are primarily domestic partnerships.

(2)Amounts for Cameron LNG JV exclude adjustments to equity earnings related to amortization of capitalized interest and guarantee fees within the carrying value of our equity method investment and changes in basis differences in equity earnings related to AOCI.

NOTE 6. DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES

SHORT-TERM DEBT

Committed Lines of Credit

At December 31, 2024, Sempra had an aggregate capacity of $9.9 billion under seven primary committed lines of credit, which provide liquidity and support our commercial paper programs. Because our commercial paper programs are supported by some of these lines of credit, we reflect the amount of commercial paper outstanding, before reductions of any unamortized discounts, and any letters of credit outstanding as a reduction to the available unused credit capacity in the following table.

The principal terms of Sempra’s, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ lines of credit reflected in the table above include the following:

▪Each facility has a syndicate of 23 lenders. No single lender has greater than a 6% share in any facility.

▪Sempra’s, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ facilities provide for the issuance of $200 million, $100 million and $150 million, respectively, of letters of credit. Subject to obtaining commitments from existing or new lenders and satisfaction of other specified conditions, Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas each has the right to increase its letter of credit commitment to up to $500 million, $250 million and $250 million, respectively.

▪Borrowings bear interest at a benchmark rate plus a margin that varies with the borrower’s credit rating.

▪Each borrower must maintain a ratio of indebtedness to total capitalization (as defined in each of the applicable credit facilities) of no more than 65% at the end of each quarter. At December 31, 2024, each Registrant was in compliance with this ratio under its respective credit facility.

SI Partners and IEnova have three combined lines of credit, reflected in the table above, that require borrowings to be issued in U.S. dollars only and include the following principal terms:

▪Borrowings on the $500 million revolving credit facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to term SOFR plus 80 bps (including a credit adjustment spread).

▪The $1.0 billion facility provides for borrowings of up to $1.0 billion through a syndicate of 12 lenders available to SI Partners and up to $910 million through a syndicate of 11 lenders available to IEnova, subject to a combined borrowing limit of $1.0 billion. This facility:

◦Charges interest on borrowings at a benchmark rate plus a margin that varies with SI Partners’ credit rating (plus a term SOFR credit adjustment spread of 10 bps in all tenors).

◦Provides for issuance of up to $200 million of letters of credit, subject to a combined letter of credit commitment of $200 million, which can be issued in U.S. dollars or Mexican pesos, and which reduces available unused credit.

◦Includes a $100 million swingline loan sub-limit, whereby any outstanding amounts would reduce available unused credit. No swingline loan borrowings were outstanding at December 31, 2024.

◦Gives either SI Partners or IEnova the right to increase the total facility to $1.5 billion, subject to lender approval, with borrowings of up to $1.5 billion through a syndicate of 12 lenders available to SI Partners and up to $1,365 million through a syndicate of 11 lenders available to IEnova.

▪Borrowings on the $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, with borrowings of up to $1.5 billion through a syndicate of 12 lenders available to SI Partners and up to $1,365 million through a syndicate of 11 lenders available to IEnova, subject to a combined borrowing limit of $1.5 billion, bear interest at a per annum rate equal to term SOFR plus 90 bps (including a credit adjustment spread).

Additionally, thethree lines of credit that are shared by SI Partners and IEnova require that SI Partners maintain a ratio of consolidated adjusted net indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (as defined in each credit facility) of no more than 5.25 to 1.00 at the end of each quarter. At December 31, 2024, SI Partners was in compliance with this ratio.

Port Arthur LNG has a working capital facility agreement, reflected in the table above, that permits borrowings of up to $200 million, which bear interest by reference to term SOFR plus the applicable margin and a credit adjustment spread. The credit facility also provides for the issuance of up to $200 million of letters of credit, which reduces available unused credit.

Uncommitted Line of Credit

ECA LNG Phase 1 has an uncommitted line of credit with an aggregate capacity of $100 million that expires in August 2026. Borrowings are generally used for working capital requirements and can be in U.S. dollars or Mexican pesos. At December 31, 2024, ECA LNG Phase 1 had outstanding borrowings of $8 million, before reductions of any unamortized discounts, in Mexican pesos that bear interest at a variable rate based on the 28-day Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate plus 154 bps. Borrowings made in U.S. dollars bear interest at a variable rate based on the one-month or three-month SOFR plus 164 bps and a credit adjustment spread of 10 bps.

Uncommitted Letters of Credit

Outside of our domestic and foreign credit facilities, we have bilateral unsecured standby letter of credit capacity with select lenders that is uncommitted and supported by reimbursement agreements. At December 31, 2024, we had $497 million in standby letters of credit outstanding under these agreements.

Term Loan

In May 2024, SoCalGas entered into a $500 million,364-day term loan facility with a maturity date of May 22, 2025, and in December 2024, SoCalGas increased the amount of the term loan to $700 million. At December 31, 2024, SoCalGas had borrowed the full $700 million then available under the term loan, net of negligible debt issuance costs, which is included in Short-Term Debt on SoCalGas’ Balance Sheet. SoCalGas may request a further increase in the term loan facility of up to $300 million prior to the maturity date, subject to lender approval. The outstanding borrowings bear interest at a per annum rate equal to term SOFR, plus 80 bps and a credit adjustment spread of 10 bps. SoCalGas used the proceeds to repay commercial paper and for other general corporate purposes.

Weighted-Average Interest Rates

The weighted-average interest rates on all short-term debt were as follows:

LONG-TERM DEBT

The following tables show the detail and maturities of long-term debt outstanding.

(2)Debt is not callable.

At December 31, 2024, scheduled maturities of long-term debt are as follows:

(1) Excludes finance lease obligations, discounts, and debt issuance costs.

Various long-term obligations totaling $16.2 billion at Sempra at December 31, 2024 are unsecured. This includes unsecured long-term obligations totaling $709 million at SoCalGas.

Callable Long-Term Debt

At the option of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas, certain debt at December 31, 2024 is callable subject to premiums:

First Mortgage Bonds

SDG&E and SoCalGas issue first mortgage bonds secured by liens on their respective utility plant assets. SDG&E and SoCalGas may issue additional first mortgage bonds if in compliance with the provisions of their bond agreements (indentures). These indentures require, among other things, the satisfaction of pro forma earnings-coverage tests on first mortgage bond interest and the availability of sufficient mortgaged property to support the additional bonds, after giving effect to prior bond redemptions. The most restrictive of these tests (the property test) would permit the issuance, subject to CPUC authorization, of additional first mortgage bonds of $8.8 billion at SDG&E and $1.6 billion at SoCalGas at December 31, 2024.

SDG&E

In March 2024, SDG&E issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 5.55% first mortgage bonds due in full upon maturity on April 15, 2054 and received proceeds of $587 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $13 million). The first mortgage bonds are redeemable prior to maturity, subject to their terms, and in certain circumstances subject to make-whole provisions. SDG&E used the net proceeds to repay commercial paper and for other general corporate purposes.

In March 2024, SoCalGas issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.60% first mortgage bonds due in full upon maturity on April 1, 2054 and received proceeds of $491 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $9 million). The first mortgage bonds are redeemable prior to maturity, subject to their terms, and in certain circumstances subject to make-whole provisions. SoCalGas used the net proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes.

In August 2024, SoCalGas issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 5.05% first mortgage bonds due in full upon maturity on September 1, 2034 and received proceeds of $592 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $8 million). The first mortgage bonds are redeemable prior to maturity, subject to their terms, and in certain circumstances subject to make-whole provisions. SoCalGas used the net proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes.

Other Long-Term Debt

Sempra. Sempra issued the following fixed-to-fixed reset rate junior subordinated notes in 2024:

▪In March 2024, Sempra issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% junior subordinated notes maturing on October 1, 2054, and received proceeds of $593 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $7 million). In May 2024, Sempra issued an additional $500 million aggregate principal amount of these junior subordinated notes and received proceeds of $489 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $11 million, but excluding $7 million paid to us in respect of accrued interest from and including March 14, 2024 to, but excluding, May 31, 2024. Interest accrues from and including March 14, 2024 to, but excluding, October 1, 2029 at the rate of 6.875% per annum.

Interest accrues from and including September 9, 2024 to, but excluding, October 1, 2034 at the rate of 6.40% per annum.

▪In November 2024, Sempra issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% junior subordinated notes maturing on April 1, 2055, and received proceeds of $395 million (net of underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $5 million). Interest accrues from and including November 21, 2024 to, but excluding, April 1, 2030 at the rate of 6.625% per annum.

▪In November 2024, Sempra issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 6.55% junior subordinated notes maturing on April 1, 2055, and received proceeds of $593 million (net of underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $7 million). Interest accrues from and including November 21, 2024 to, but excluding, April 1, 2035 at the rate of 6.55% per annum.

The interest rates on the notes will be reset on:

▪October 1, 2029 (for the March 2024 and May 2024 issuances),

▪October 1, 2034 (for the September 2024 issuance),

▪April 1, 2030 (for the $400 million November 2024 issuance), and

▪April 1, 2035 (for the $600 million November 2024 issuance),

and on each subsequent five-year period beginning on October 1 or April 1, as applicable, of every fifth year thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate (as defined in the notes) as of the day fallingtwo business days before the first day of such five-year period plus a spread of:

▪2.789% (for the March 2024 and May 2024 issuances),

▪2.632% (for the September 2024 issuance),

▪2.354% (for the $400 million November 2024 issuance), and

▪2.138% (for the $600 million November 2024 issuance).

Interest is payable on the notes semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on October 1, 2024 (for the March 2024 and May 2024 issuances) or April 1, 2025 (for the September 2024 and November 2024 issuances).

We may redeem some or all of the notes before their maturity, as follows:

▪in whole or in part, (i) on any day in the period commencing on the date falling 90 days prior to, and ending on and including October 1, 2029 (for the March 2024 and May 2024 issuances), October 1, 2034 (for the September 2024 issuance), April 1, 2030 (for the $400 million November 2024 issuance), and April 1, 2035 (for the $600 million November 2024 issuance), and (ii) after those respective dates, on any interest payment date, at a redemption price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus, subject to the terms of the notes, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date;

▪in whole but not in part, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of a tax event (as defined in the notes) at a redemption price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus, subject to the terms of the notes, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to, but excluding, the redemption date; and

▪in whole but not in part, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of a rating agency event (as defined in the notes) at a redemption price in cash equal to 102% of the principal amount of the notes, plus, subject to the terms of the notes, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The notes described above are unsecured obligations and rank junior and subordinate in right of payment to our existing and future senior indebtedness. The notes rank equally in right of payment with each other and with our existing 4.125% fixed-to-fixed reset rate junior subordinated notes due 2052 and 5.75% junior subordinated notes due 2079 and with any future unsecured indebtedness that we may incur if the terms of such indebtedness provide that it ranks equally with the notes in right of payment. The notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to any secured indebtedness we have incurred or may incur (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such secured indebtedness) and to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities and any preferred equity of our subsidiaries.

We used, or plan to use, the proceeds from the offerings for general corporate purposes, including repayment of commercial paper and other indebtedness.

ECA LNG Phase 1. ECA LNG Phase 1 has afive-year loan agreement with a syndicate ofseven external lenders that matures on December 9, 2025 for an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.3 billion. IEnova and TotalEnergies SE have provided guarantees for repayment of the loans plus accrued and unpaid interest of 83.4% and 16.6%, respectively. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, $1.1 billion and $832 million, respectively, of borrowings from external lenders were outstanding under the loan agreement, with a weighted-average interest rate of 7.29% and 8.31%, respectively.

Port Arthur LNG. Port Arthur LNG has aseven-year term loan facility agreement with a syndicate of lenders that matures on March 20, 2030, for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.8 billion. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, $1.1 billion and $258 million, respectively, of borrowings were outstanding under the loan agreement, with an all-in weighted-average interest rate of 5.33% and 5.81%, respectively. Proceeds from the loan are being used to finance the cost of construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project.

In November 2024, Port Arthur LNG signed an agreement to issue senior secured notes in January 2025 for $750 million and April 2025 for $250 million. The net proceeds from the January 2025 issuance and the expected net proceeds from the April 2025 issuance were or will be used to pay transaction fees and repay borrowings under the existing Port Arthur LNG term loan facility. The senior secured notes mature in December 2042 and the January 2025 and April 2025 issuances bear interest at the rate of 6.27% and 6.32% per annum, respectively.

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES

We provide our calculations of ETRs in the following table.

(1) We discuss how we recognize equity earnings in Note 5.

For SDG&E and SoCalGas, the CPUC requires flow-through rate-making treatment for the current income tax benefit or expense arising from certain property-related and other temporary differences between the treatment for financial reporting and income tax, which will reverse over time. Under the regulatory accounting treatment required for these flow-through temporary differences, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are not recorded to deferred income tax expense, but rather to a regulatory asset or liability, which impacts the ETR. As a result, changes in the relative size of these items compared to pretax income, from period to period, can cause variations in the ETR. Items subject to flow-through treatment include:

▪repairs expenditures related to certain utility plant fixed assets

▪the equity component of AFUDC, which is non-taxable

▪cost of removal related to certain utility plant assets

▪utility self-developed software expenditures

▪depreciation related to certain utility plant assets

▪state income taxes

AFUDC related to equity recorded for regulated construction projects at Sempra Infrastructure has similar flow-through treatment.

We present in the table below reconciliations of net U.S. statutory federal income tax rates to our ETRs.

(1) Due to fluctuation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar. We record income tax expense (benefit) from the transactional effects of foreign currency and inflation because of appreciation (depreciation) of the Mexican peso.

(2) Related to operations in Mexico.

We expect to repatriate approximately $3.1 billion of foreign undistributed earnings in the foreseeable future, and have accrued $100 million of U.S. state deferred income tax liability at December 31, 2024. We repatriated approximately $100 million and $108 million to the U.S. in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

In the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized income tax expense of $120 million for a deferred income tax liability related to outside basis differences in our foreign subsidiaries that we had previously considered to be indefinitely reinvested. We have not recorded deferred income taxes with respect to remaining basis differences of approximately $700 million between financial statement and income tax investment amounts in our non-U.S. subsidiaries because we consider them to be indefinitely reinvested as of December 31, 2024. The remaining basis differences are calculated pursuant to U.S. federal tax law, which may differ from tax law in California and foreign jurisdictions. It is currently not practicable to determine the hypothetical amount of tax that might be payable if the underlying basis differences were realized.

The table below presents the geographic location of pretax income.

(1)See the Income Tax Expense (Benefit) and Effective Income Tax Rates table above for the calculation of pretax income.

The components of income tax expense are as follows.

(1)In 2024 and 2023, Deferred Income Taxes and Investment Tax Credits on the Sempra Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows also includes $9 and $72, respectively, of income taxes included in equity earnings, which are recorded net of income tax under a tax sharing agreement with Oncor.

The tables below present the components of deferred income taxes:

(1) In addition to the financial over tax basis differences in fixed assets, the amount also includes financial over tax basis differences in various interests in partnerships and certain subsidiaries.

(2) At December 31, 2024 and 2023, includes $172 and $129, respectively, recorded as a noncurrent asset and $5,845 and $5,254, respectively, recorded as a noncurrent liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table summarizes our unused NOLs and tax credit carryforwards.

(1) We have recorded deferred income tax benefits on these NOLs and tax credits, in total, because we currently believe they will be realized on a more-likely-than-not-basis.

(2) We have not recorded deferred income tax benefits on a portion of these NOLs and tax credits because we currently believe they will not be realized on a more-likely-than-not-basis, as we discuss below.

A valuation allowance is recorded when, based on more-likely-than-not criteria, negative evidence outweighs positive evidence with regard to our ability to realize a deferred income tax asset in the future. In the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized income tax expense of $330 million from changes to a valuation allowance against foreign tax credits that were carried forward from the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. For various U.S. state and non-U.S. jurisdictions, the negative evidence outweighs the positive evidence primarily due to cumulative pretax losses resulting in deferred income tax assets that we currently do not believe will be realized on a more-likely-than-not basis.

The following table provides the valuation allowances that we recorded against a portion of our total deferred income tax assets shown above in the “Deferred Income Taxes – Sempra” table.

Following is a reconciliation of the changes in unrecognized income tax benefits and the potential effect on our ETR for the years ended December 31:

(1) Includes temporary book and tax differences that are treated as flow-through for ratemaking purposes, as discussed above.

The California Franchise Tax Board is examining Sempra’s California unitary group for tax years 2018 and 2019. As of December 31, 2024, it is not reasonably possible this matter could be resolved within the next 12 months. We have included an increase in unrecognized income tax benefits in the reconciliation above.

In April 2023, the IRS issued Revenue Procedure 2023-15, which provides a safe harbor method of accounting for gas repairs expenditures. SDG&E and SoCalGas elected this change in tax accounting method in Sempra’s consolidated 2023 income tax return filing and recorded additional income tax benefits of $34 million and $97 million, respectively, in 2023. Additionally, SoCalGas updated its assessment of prior years’ unrecognized income tax benefits and recorded an income tax benefit of $43 million in 2023 for previously unrecognized income tax benefits pertaining to gas repairs expenditures. Sempra elected this change in tax accounting method in its consolidated 2023 income tax return filing.

Sempra, SDG&E, and SoCalGas record regulatory liabilities for benefits that will be flowed through to customers in the future.

It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months, unrecognized income tax benefits could decrease due to the following:

Amounts accrued for interest and penalties associated with unrecognized income tax benefits are included in Income Tax Expense (Benefit) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Sempra accrued $15 million at both December 31, 2024 and 2023 on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and negligible amounts in 2024, $2 million in 2023 and negligible amounts in 2022 on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for interest and penalties. SDG&E and SoCalGas each accrued negligible amounts for interest expense and penalties at December 31, 2024 and 2023 on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and recorded negligible amounts for interest expense and penalties on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented.

INCOME TAX AUDITS

Sempra is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and non-U.S. jurisdictions. We remain subject to examination for U.S. federal tax years after 2020. We are subject to examination by major state tax jurisdictions for tax years after 2012. Certain major non-U.S. income tax returns for tax years 2013 through the present are open to examination.

SDG&E and SoCalGas are subject to U.S. federal income tax and state income tax. They remain subject to examination for U.S. federal tax years after 2020 and state tax years after 2012.

In addition, Sempra has filed protests to contest proposed state audit adjustments for tax years 2009 through 2012. The pre-2013 tax years for our major state tax jurisdictions are closed to new issues; therefore, no additional tax may be assessed by the taxing authorities for these tax years.

SI Partners has filed an administrative appeal to contest a tax assessment issued by the Servicio de Administración Tributaria for tax year 2016. In 2023, we increased unrecognized income tax benefits in the table above, and will have the opportunity to contest any unresolved issues through the Mexican courts.

NOTE 8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

For our employee benefit plans, we:

▪recognize an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status in the balance sheet;

▪measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the fiscal year; and

▪recognize changes in the funded status of pension and PBOP plans in the year in which the changes occur. Generally, those changes are reported in OCI and as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

The detailed information presented below covers the employee benefit plans of primarily Sempra and its consolidated entities.

Sempra has funded and unfunded noncontributory traditional defined benefit and cash balance plans, including separate plans for SDG&E and SoCalGas, which collectively cover all eligible employees. Pension benefits under the traditional defined benefit plans are based on service and final average earnings, while the cash balance plans provide benefits using a career average earnings methodology.

IEnova has an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit plan covering all employees that provides defined benefits to retirees based on date of hire, years of service and final average earnings.

Sempra also has PBOP plans, including separate plans for SDG&E and SoCalGas, which collectively cover all domestic and certain foreign employees. The life insurance plans are both contributory and noncontributory, and the health care plans are contributory. Participants’ contributions are adjusted annually. PBOP plans include medical benefits.

Pension and PBOP costs and obligations are dependent on assumptions used in calculating such amounts. We review these assumptions on an annual basis and update them as appropriate. We consider current market conditions, including interest rates, in making these assumptions.

DEDICATED ASSETS IN SUPPORT OF CERTAIN BENEFITS PLANS

In support of its Supplemental Executive Retirement, Cash Balance Restoration and Deferred Compensation Plans, Sempra maintains dedicated assets, including a Rabbi Trust and investments in life insurance contracts, which totaled $585 million and $549 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

PENSION AND PBOP PLANS

Oncor

In 2024 and 2023, we had $34 million and $38 million, respectively, in AOCI representing an actuarial loss related to Oncor’s pension plans.

Benefit Obligations and Assets

The following three tables provide a reconciliation of the changes in the plans’ projected benefit obligations and the fair value of assets during 2024 and 2023, and a statement of the funded status at December 31, 2024 and 2023.

(1)The accumulated benefit obligation was $2,900 and $2,865 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(1)The accumulated benefit obligation was $781 and $769 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(1)The accumulated benefit obligation was $1,824 and $1,799 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Actuarial (gains) losses fluctuate based on changes in assumptions that we describe below in “Assumptions for Pension and PBOP Plans” and updates to census data.

Pension Plans

▪In 2024, actuarial gains were driven by an increase in discount rates at SoCalGas and SDG&E, offset by updated census data at SoCalGas and SDG&E.

▪In 2023, actuarial losses were driven by a decrease in discount rates at SoCalGas and SDG&E, an increase in the interest crediting rate for cash balance plans at SDG&E and SoCalGas and updated census data at Sempra and SDG&E. These actuarial losses were partially offset by actuarial gains at SoCalGas due to a change in the rates to convert traditional pension benefits to lump-sums.

PBOP Plans

▪In 2024, actuarial gains were driven by an increase in discount rates at SoCalGas, partially offset by an increase in the 2025 expected healthcare costs at SoCalGas.

▪In 2023, actuarial losses were driven by a decrease in discount rates at SoCalGas and SDG&E.

Net Assets and Liabilities

The assets and liabilities of the pension and PBOP plans are affected by changing market conditions as well as when actual plan experience is different than assumed. Such events result in investment gains and losses, which we defer and recognize in pension and PBOP costs over a period of years. Our funded pension and PBOP plans use the asset smoothing method, except for those at SDG&E. This method develops an asset value that recognizes realized and unrealized investment gains and losses over a three-year period. This adjusted asset value, known as the market-related value of assets, is used in conjunction with an expected long-term rate of return to determine the expected return-on-plan-assets component of net periodic benefit cost. SDG&E does not use the asset smoothing method but rather recognizes realized and unrealized investment gains and losses during the current year.

The 10% corridor accounting method is used at Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas. Under the corridor accounting method, if as of the beginning of a year unrecognized net gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan assets, the excess is amortized over the average remaining service period of active participants (or, for plans where participants are substantially inactive employees, the average remaining lifetime of all participants or the period for which benefits will be paid, whichever is shorter). The asset smoothing and 10% corridor accounting methods help mitigate volatility of net periodic benefit costs from year to year.

Defined benefit pension and PBOP plans with an aggregated overfunded status are recognized as an asset and with an aggregated underfunded status are recognized as a liability; unrecognized changes in these assets and/or liabilities are normally recorded in AOCI on the balance sheet. SDG&E and SoCalGas record regulatory assets and liabilities that offset the funded pension and PBOP plans’ assets or liabilities, as these costs are expected to be recovered in future utility rates based on decisions by regulatory agencies.

SDG&E and SoCalGas record annual pension and PBOP net periodic benefit costs equal to the contributions to their qualified plans as authorized by the CPUC. The annual contributions to the pension plans are the greater of:

▪a minimum required funding amount as required by the IRS;

▪the amount required to maintain an 85% Adjusted Funding Target Attainment Percentage as defined by the Pension Protection Act of 2006, as amended; or

▪beginning January 1, 2024 and for the duration of the 2024 GRC cycle, a fixed amount equal to the estimated annual service cost as defined by U.S. GAAP plus one year of a seven-year amortization of the unfunded projected benefit obligation of the pension plan as of January 1, 2024, and limited to an annual amount that keeps the fair value of the pension plan assets from exceeding 110% of the pension benefit obligation of the plan.

The annual contributions to PBOP plans are equal to the lesser of the maximum tax-deductible amount or the net periodic benefit cost calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP for pension and PBOP plans but not less than benefits paid directly by the employer (such as benefits paid to key employees). Any differences between booked net periodic benefit cost and amounts contributed to the pension and PBOP plans for SDG&E and SoCalGas are disclosed as regulatory adjustments in accordance with U.S. GAAP for rate-regulated entities.

The net (liability) asset is included in the following categories on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Amounts recorded in AOCI, net of income tax effects and amounts recorded as regulatory assets, are as follows.

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas each have a funded pension plan. The following table shows the obligations of funded pension plans with benefit obligations in excess of plan assets.

We also have unfunded pension plans at Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas and IEnova. The following table shows the obligations of unfunded pension plans.

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas each have a funded PBOP plan. At December 31, 2024, Sempra’s, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ plan assets were each in excess of their respective obligations for funded PBOP plans with accumulated postretirement benefit obligations.

We also have unfunded PBOP plans at Sempra. The following table shows the obligations of unfunded PBOP plans.

Net Periodic Benefit Cost

The following tables provide the components of net periodic benefit cost (which, other than the service cost component, are included in Other Income, Net) and pretax amounts recognized in OCI.

Assumptions for Pension and PBOP Plans

Benefit Obligation and Net Periodic Benefit Cost

Except for the IEnova plans, we develop the discount rate assumptions using a bond selection-settlement portfolio approach. This approach develops a discount rate by selecting a portfolio of high-quality corporate bonds that generate sufficient cash flows to provide for projected benefit payments of the plan. The selected bond portfolio is derived from a universe of corporate bonds with a Bloomberg Composite of AA or higher. After the bond portfolio is selected, a single interest rate is determined that equates the present value of the plans’ projected benefit payments discounted at this rate with the market value of the bonds selected.

We develop the discount rate assumptions for the plans at IEnova by constructing a synthetic government zero coupon bond yield curve from the available market data, based on duration matching, and we add a risk spread to allow for the yields of high-quality corporate bonds. Such method is required when there is no deep market for high quality corporate bonds.

Expected return on plan assets is based on the weighted average of the plans’ target investment allocation as of the measurement date and the expected returns for those asset types.

Interest crediting rate is based on an average 30-year Treasury bond from the month of November of the preceding year.

We amortize prior service cost using straight line amortization over average future service (or average expected lifetime for plans where participants are substantially inactive employees), which is an alternative method allowed under U.S. GAAP.

The significant assumptions affecting projected benefit obligation and net periodic benefit cost are as follows:

(1) Interest crediting rate for pension benefits applies only to funded cash balance plans.

(2)Interest crediting rate for PBOP applies only to interest bearing health retirement accounts at SDG&E and SoCalGas.

(1)Interest crediting rate for pension benefits applies only to funded cash balance plans.

(2)Interest crediting rate for PBOP applies only to interest bearing health retirement accounts at SDG&E and SoCalGas.

Health Care Cost Trend Rates

Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts that Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas report for the health care plan costs. Following are the health care cost trend rates applicable to our PBOP plans:

Plan Assets

Investment Strategy for Sempra’s Pension Master Trust

Sempra’s pension master trust holds the investments for our pension plans and a portion of the investments for our PBOP plans. We maintain additional trusts, as we discuss below, for certain of SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ PBOP plans. Other than through indexing and certain collective investment strategies, the trusts do not invest in securities of Sempra.

The current asset allocation objective for the pension master trust is to protect the funded status of the plans while generating sufficient returns to cover future benefit payments and accruals. A portion of the pension master trust is invested in accordance with plan specific de-risking glidepaths designed to reduce the assets’ exposure to risk as the plans become better funded. We assess the portfolio performance by comparing actual returns with relevant benchmarks. The target asset allocations for Sempra’s pension plans are between return-seeking assets (i.e., generally, equity securities, diversified real assets, high-yield fixed income securities and other instruments with a similar risk profile) and risk-mitigating assets (i.e., generally, government and corporate fixed income securities) as follows:

We maintain asset allocations at strategic levels within reasonable bands of variance. The asset allocations are reviewed by our Plan Funding Committee and our Pension and Benefits Investment Committee (the Committees) on a regular basis to help ensure that plan assets are positioned to meet plan obligations. When evaluating strategic asset allocations, the Committees consider many variables, including:

▪long-term cost

▪variability and level of contributions

▪funded status

▪a range of expected outcomes over varying confidence levels

In accordance with the Sempra pension investment guidelines, derivative financial instruments may be used by the pension master trust’s equity and fixed income portfolio investment managers to equitize cash, hedge certain exposures, and as substitutes for certain types of fixed income securities.

Rate of Return Assumption

The expected return on plan assets in our pension and PBOP plans is based on the weighted average of the plans’ target investment allocations to specific asset classes as of the measurement date. We expect a return of between 4% and 12% on return-seeking assets and between 2% and 6% for risk-mitigating assets. Certain trusts that hold assets for SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ PBOP plans are subject to taxation, which impacts the expected after-tax return on plan assets.

Concentration of Risk

Plan assets are diversified across global equity and bond markets, and concentration of risk in any one economic, industry, maturity or geographic sector is limited.

Investment Strategy for Sempra’s, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ PBOP Plans

Sempra’s PBOP plan is funded by cash contributions from Sempra. SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ PBOP plans are funded by cash contributions from SDG&E and SoCalGas and their current retirees. The assets of these plans are placed into the pension master trust and other Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association trusts. Specific target asset allocations are periodically reviewed to help ensure that plan assets are positioned to meet plan obligations. The target asset allocations for the PBOP plans are between return-seeking assets and risk-mitigating assets as follows:

Fair Value of Pension and PBOP Plan Assets

We classify the investments in Sempra’s pension master trust and the trusts for SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ PBOP plans based on the fair value hierarchy, except for certain investments measured using NAV as a practical expedient for fair value.

The following are descriptions of the valuation methods and assumptions we use to estimate the fair values of investments held by pension and PBOP plan trusts.

Equity Securities – Equity securities are valued using quoted prices listed on nationally recognized securities exchanges.

Registered Investment Companies – Investments in mutual funds sponsored by a registered investment company are valued based on exchange listed prices. Where the value is a quoted price in an active market, the investment is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Other investments are valued under a discounted cash flow approach that maximizes observable inputs, such as current yields of similar instruments, but includes adjustments for certain risks that may not be observable, such as credit and liquidity risks.

Fixed Income Securities – Certain fixed income securities are valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the security is traded. Other fixed income securities are valued based on yields currently available on comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings. When quoted prices are not available for identical or similar securities, the security is valued under a discounted cash flow approach that maximizes observable inputs, such as current yields of similar instruments, but includes adjustments for certain risks that may not be observable, such as credit and liquidity risks. Certain high yield fixed-income securities are valued by applying a price adjustment to the bid side to calculate a mean and ask value. Adjustments can vary based on maturity, credit standing, and reported trade frequencies. The bid to ask spread is determined by the investment manager based on the review of the available market information.

Common/Collective Trusts – Investments in common/collective trust funds are valued based on the NAV of units owned, which is based on the current fair value of the funds’ underlying assets.

Derivative Financial Instruments – Futures contracts that are publicly traded in active markets are valued at closing prices as of the last business day of the year. Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies, and unrealized gain (loss) is recorded daily. Fixed income futures and options are marked to market daily. Equity index futures contracts are valued at the last sales price quoted on the exchange on which they primarily trade.

While management believes the valuation methods described above are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

We provide more discussion of fair value measurements in Notes 1 and 10. The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy a summary of the investments in our pension and PBOP plan trusts measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The fair values by asset category are as follows:

The fair values by asset category of the PBOP plan assets held in the pension master trust and in the additional trusts for SoCalGas’ PBOP plans and SDG&E’s PBOP plan trusts are as follows:

Future Payments

We expect to contribute the following amounts to our pension and PBOP plans in 2025:

The following table shows the total benefits we expect to pay for the next 10 years to current employees and retirees from the plans or from company assets.

SAVINGS PLANS

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas offer trusteed savings plans to all employees. Employee participation, employee contributions and employer matching contributions are subject to the provisions of the respective plans, and for employee contributions, limits imposed by the respective governmental authorities.

Employer contributions to the savings plans were as follows:

The market value of Sempra common stock held by the savings plans was $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

NOTE 9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We use derivative instruments primarily to manage exposures arising in the normal course of business. Our principal exposures are commodity market risk, benchmark interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate exposures. Our use of derivatives for these risks is integrated into the economic management of our anticipated revenues, anticipated expenses, assets and liabilities. Derivatives may be effective in mitigating these risks (1) that could lead to declines in anticipated revenues or increases in anticipated expenses, or (2) that could cause our asset values to fall or our liabilities to increase. Accordingly, our derivative activity summarized below generally represents an impact that is intended to offset associated revenues, expenses, assets or liabilities that are not included in the tables below.

In certain cases, we apply the normal purchase or sale exception to contracts that otherwise would have been accounted for as derivative instruments and have other commodity contracts that are not derivatives. These contracts are not recorded at fair value and are therefore excluded from the disclosures below.

In all other cases, we record derivatives at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We may have derivatives that are (1) cash flow hedges, (2) fair value hedges, or (3) undesignated. Depending on the applicability of hedge accounting and, for SDG&E and SoCalGas and other operations subject to regulatory accounting, the requirement to pass impacts through to customers, the impact of derivative instruments may be offset in OCI (cash flow hedges), on the balance sheet (regulatory offsets), or recognized in earnings (fair value hedges and undesignated derivatives not subject to rate recovery). We classify cash flows from the (1) principal settlements of cross-currency swaps that hedge exposure related to Mexican peso-denominated debt and amounts related to terminations or early settlements of interest rate swaps as financing activities, (2) principal settlements of interest rate swaps associated with capitalized interest costs incurred to finance capital projects as investing activities, and (3) settlements of other derivative instruments as operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

HEDGE ACCOUNTING

We may designate a derivative as a cash flow hedging instrument if it effectively converts anticipated cash flows associated with revenues or expenses to a fixed dollar amount. We may utilize cash flow hedge accounting for derivative commodity instruments, foreign currency instruments and interest rate instruments. Designating cash flow hedges is dependent on the business context in which the instrument is being used, the effectiveness of the instrument in offsetting the risk of variability of future cash flows of a given revenue or expense item, and other criteria.

ENERGY DERIVATIVES

Our market risk is primarily related to natural gas and electricity price volatility and the specific physical locations where we transact. We use energy derivatives to manage these risks. The use of energy derivatives in our various businesses depends on the particular energy market, and the operating and regulatory environments applicable to the business, as follows:

▪SDG&E and SoCalGas use natural gas derivatives and SDG&E uses electricity derivatives, for the benefit of customers, with the objective of managing price risk and basis risk, and stabilizing and lowering natural gas and electricity costs. These derivatives include fixed-price natural gas and electricity positions, options, and basis risk instruments, which are either exchange-traded or over-the-counter financial instruments, or bilateral physical transactions. This activity is governed by risk management and transacting activity plans limited by company policy. SDG&E’s risk management and transacting activity plans for electricity derivatives are also required to be filed with, and have been approved by, the CPUC. SoCalGas is also subject to certain regulatory requirements and thresholds related to natural gas procurement under the GCIM. Natural gas and electricity derivative activities are recorded as commodity costs that are offset by regulatory account balances and are recovered in rates. Net commodity cost impacts on the Consolidated Statements of Operations are reflected in Cost of Natural Gas or in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power.

▪SDG&E is allocated and may purchase CRRs, which serve to reduce the regional electricity price volatility risk that may result from local transmission capacity constraints. Unrealized gains and losses do not impact earnings, as they are offset by regulatory account balances. Realized gains and losses associated with CRRs, which are recoverable in rates, are recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

▪Sempra Infrastructure may use natural gas and electricity derivatives, as appropriate, in an effort to optimize the earnings of its assets which support the following businesses: LNG, natural gas pipelines and storage, and power generation. Gains and losses associated with undesignated derivatives are recognized in Energy-Related Businesses Revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

▪From time to time, our various businesses, including SDG&E and SoCalGas, may use other derivatives to hedge exposures such as GHG allowances.

The following table summarizes net energy derivative volumes.

INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES

We are exposed to interest rates primarily as a result of our current and expected use of financing. SDG&E and SoCalGas, as well as Sempra and its other subsidiaries and JVs, periodically enter into interest rate derivative agreements intended to moderate our exposure to interest rates and to lower our overall costs of borrowing. In addition, we may utilize interest rate swaps, typically designated as cash flow hedges, to lock in interest rates on outstanding debt or in anticipation of future financings.

In March 2023, Port Arthur LNG entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps maturing in 2048, which were designated as cash flow hedges. On September 30, 2024, Port Arthur LNG voluntarily de-designated those interest rate swaps that begin hedging interest payments in March 2026 to provide for future financing flexibility. At the time of de-designation, $40 million of deferred gains related to the de-designated notional amount were included in AOCI, which will remain in AOCI until the hedged interest payments impact net income or such hedged interest payments become probable of not occurring. In October 2024, Port Arthur LNG received a cash settlement of $46 million, net of transaction costs, for the termination of $1.0 billion of the notional amount of both the designated and de-designated interest rate swaps, with the associated deferred gains remaining in AOCI. On December 31, 2024, Port Arthur LNG voluntarily de-designated the remaining interest rate swaps, which are currently hedging interest payments until March 2026. At the time of de-designation, $37 million of deferred gains related to the de-designated notional amount were included in AOCI, which will remain in AOCI until either the hedged interest payments impact net income or such hedged interest payments become probable of not occurring.

The following table presents the notional amounts of our interest rate derivatives, excluding those in our equity method investments.

(1) At December 31, 2024 and 2023, cash flow hedges accrued interest based on a notional amount of $271 and $488, respectively.

FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES

We may utilize cross-currency swaps to hedge exposure related to Mexican peso-denominated debt at our Mexican subsidiaries and JVs. These cash flow hedges exchange our Mexican peso-denominated principal and interest payments into the U.S. dollar and swap Mexican fixed interest rates for U.S. fixed interest rates. From time to time, Sempra Infrastructure and its JVs may use other foreign currency derivatives to hedge exposures related to cash flows associated with revenues from contracts denominated in Mexican pesos that are indexed to the U.S. dollar.

In May 2024, Oncor entered into cross-currency swaps designated as fair value hedges intended to offset foreign currency exchange rate risk related to its Euro-denominated debt.

We are also exposed to exchange rate movements at our Mexican subsidiaries and JVs, which have U.S. dollar-denominated cash balances, receivables, payables and debt (monetary assets and liabilities) that give rise to Mexican currency exchange rate movements for Mexican income tax purposes. They also have deferred income tax assets and liabilities denominated in the Mexican peso, which must be translated to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. In addition, monetary assets and liabilities and certain nonmonetary assets and liabilities are adjusted for Mexican inflation for Mexican income tax purposes. We may utilize foreign currency derivatives as a means to manage the risk of exposure to significant fluctuations in our income tax expense and equity earnings from these impacts; however, we generally do not hedge our deferred income tax assets and liabilities or for inflation.

The following table presents the notional amounts of our foreign currency derivatives, excluding those in our equity method investments.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect the offsetting of net derivative positions and cash collateral with the same counterparty when a legal right of offset exists. The following tables provide the fair values of derivative instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, including the amount of cash collateral receivables that were not offset because the cash collateral was in excess of liability positions. We discuss the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities in Note 10.
