Sempra California
Sempra California’s earnings are comprised of SDG&E and SoCalGas. Because changes in SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ cost of natural gas and/or electricity are recovered in rates, changes in these costs are offset in the changes in revenues and therefore do not impact earnings, other than potential impacts related to the GCIM for SoCalGas that we describe below. In addition to the changes in cost or market prices, natural gas or electric revenues recorded during a period are impacted by the difference between customer billings and recorded or CPUC-authorized amounts. These differences are required to be balanced over time, resulting in over- and undercollected regulatory balancing accounts. We discuss balancing accounts and their effects further in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
In the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, the increase in earnings of $38 million (15%) was primarily due to:
$29 million higher income tax benefits primarily from flow-through items
$21 million higher CPUC base operating margin, net of operating expenses
$13 million higher electric transmission margin, including favorable impact from the retroactive application of the June 2026 FERC-approved TO6 settlement
$20 million higher net interest expense
$10 million lower AFUDC equity
$10 million regulatory award approved by the CPUC in 2025
In the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, the increase in earnings of $34 million (3%) was primarily due to:
$59 million higher CPUC base operating margin, net of operating expenses, including $43 million recognition of regulatory revenue reflecting returns on approved WMP capital projects resulting from the 2024 GRC Track 2 FD
$17 million higher electric transmission margin, including favorable impact from the retroactive application of the June 2026 FERC-approved TO6 settlement
$34 million higher net interest expense
$15 million lower AFUDC equity
$5 million lower income tax benefits primarily from flow-through items
Sempra Texas Utilities
In the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, the increase in earnings of $138 million was due to higher equity earnings from Oncor Holdings driven by:

The regulatory framework permits SDG&E and SoCalGas to recover certain program expenditures and other costs authorized by the CPUC (referred to as “refundable programs”), which may be subject to reviews for reasonableness.
Utilities: Natural Gas Revenues and Cost of Natural Gas
Our utilities revenues include natural gas revenues at Sempra California and Sempra Infrastructure, which includes Ecogas. Intercompany revenues are eliminated in Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
SDG&E and SoCalGas operate under a regulatory framework that permits the cost of natural gas purchased for core customers to be passed through to customers in rates substantially as incurred and without markup. The GCIM provides for SoCalGas to share in the savings and/or costs from buying natural gas for its core customers at prices below or above monthly market-based benchmarks. This mechanism permits full recovery of costs incurred when average purchase costs are within a price range around the benchmark price. Any higher costs incurred or savings realized outside this range are shared between SoCalGas and its core customers. We provide further discussion in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

(1) We discuss how we recognize equity earnings in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
We report as part of our pretax results the income or loss attributable to NCI. However, we do not record income taxes for a portion of this income or loss, as some of our entities with NCI are currently treated as partnerships for U.S. income tax purposes, and thus we are only liable for income taxes on the portion of the earnings that are allocated to us. Our pretax income, however, includes 100% of these entities. If our entities with NCI grow, and if we continue to invest in such entities, the impact on our ETR may become more significant.
In the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, Sempra’s income tax expense decreased by $60 million (35%) primarily due to:
$84 million from $38 million income tax expense in 2026 compared to $122 million income tax expense in 2025 from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico and associated undesignated derivatives
$58 million from $20 million income tax benefit in 2026 compared to $38 million income tax expense in 2025 as a result of classifying SI Partners and Ecogas as held for sale, comprised of the following:
$37 million from $1 million income tax expense in 2026 compared to $38 million income tax expense in 2025 related to a Mexican deferred income tax liability on the outside basis difference in our investment in Ecogas
$21 million income tax benefit in 2026 to adjust deferred income tax liabilities primarily related to outside basis differences in our investment in SI Partners
In the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, Sempra’s income tax expense decreased by $52 million (23%) primarily due to:
$94 million from $56 million income tax benefit in 2026 compared to $38 million income tax expense in 2025 as a result of classifying SI Partners and Ecogas as held for sale, comprised of the following:
$54 million income tax benefit in 2026 to adjust deferred income tax liabilities primarily related to outside basis differences in our investment in SI Partners
$40 million from $2 million income tax benefit in 2026 compared to $38 million income tax expense in 2025 related to a Mexican deferred income tax liability on the outside basis difference in our investment in Ecogas
$92 million from $20 million income tax expense in 2026 compared to $112 million income tax expense in 2025 from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico and associated undesignated derivatives
$23 million higher income tax benefit attributable to NCI’s share of higher U.S. partnership’s pretax income
We discuss the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and inflation on income taxes below in “Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations.” See Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and Notes 1 and 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report for further details about our accounting for income taxes and items subject to flow-through treatment.
Equity Earnings
In the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, Sempra’s equity earnings increased by $154 million (39%) to $547 million primarily due to:
$137 million at Oncor Holdings driven by:
overall higher revenues primarily attributable to:
the surcharge resulting from the comprehensive base rate review, reflecting the difference between newly approved rates and previously effective rates for the period from January 1, 2026 to June 1, 2026
increase due to the UTM and SRP
new base rates implemented in June 2026
rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital
customer growth
higher depreciation expense and interest expense associated with increases in invested capital
higher O&M
$14 million at IMG due to lower income tax expense
In the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, Sempra’s equity earnings increased by $196 million (27%) to $914 million primarily due to:
$162 million at Oncor Holdings driven by:
overall higher revenues primarily attributable to:
increase due to the UTM and SRP
the surcharge resulting from the comprehensive base rate review, reflecting the difference between newly approved rates and previously effective rates for the period from January 1, 2026 to June 1, 2026
new base rates implemented in June 2026
rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital
customer growth
lower customer consumption primarily attributable to weather
higher depreciation expense and interest expense associated with increases in invested capital
higher O&M
$21 million at IMG due to lower income tax expense and lower interest expense
Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
In the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, Sempra’s earnings attributable to NCI increased by $95 million to $141 million primarily due to an increase in SI Partners subsidiaries’ net income driven by higher unrealized gains on commodity derivatives and foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico.
In the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, Sempra’s earnings attributable to NCI increased by $200 million to $248 million primarily due to an increase in SI Partners subsidiaries’ net income driven by a favorable impact in interest expense from the termination of interest rate swaps in 2026 related to the PA LNG Phase 1 project, lower depreciation expense as a result of classifying SI Partners and Ecogas as held for sale in September 2025 and June 2025, respectively, and unrealized gains in 2026 compared to unrealized losses in 2025 on commodity derivatives.
IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION RATES ON RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Because Ecogas, our natural gas distribution utility in Mexico, uses the Mexican peso as its functional currency, its revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates for the period when included in Sempra’s results of operations. Year‑over‑year differences in average exchange rates used to translate Ecogas’ income statement activity can therefore create variances in our comparative results of operations. In the three months and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025, the impact of changes in average foreign currency translation rates on our earnings was negligible and $1 million, respectively.
We discuss further the impact of foreign currency and inflation rates on results of operations, including impacts on income taxes and related hedging activity, in “Part II – Item 7. MD&A – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” in the Annual Report.
The impact from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and Mexican inflation on our results of operations is summarized in the following table.

At June 30, 2026, SI Partners, which holds our foreign operations, is classified as held for sale. Upon completion of the planned sale, which we expect to occur in the third quarter of 2026, we will deconsolidate SI Partners and account for our remaining 25% interest under the equity method, which we expect will reduce volatility in our results of operations associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and Mexican inflation.
