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 September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, the decrease in earnings of $147 million (40%) was primarily due to:
$149 million charge in 2026 from regulatory disallowances, net, related to prior years, which we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
$29 million lower income tax benefits primarily from flow-through items, including impacts from the election in 2025 to accelerate self-developed software deductions
$12 million higher net interest expense
$8 million lower net regulatory interest income
$38 million higher CPUC base operating margin, net of operating expenses and a $2 million charge in 2026 from regulatory disallowances, net
$8 million higher electric transmission margin
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, the decrease in earnings of $113 million (8%) was primarily due to:
$149 million charge in 2026 from regulatory disallowances, net, related to prior years
$46 million higher net interest expense
$34 million lower income tax benefits primarily from flow-through items
$14 million lower AFUDC equity
$13 million lower net regulatory interest income
$97 million higher CPUC base operating margin, net of operating expenses and a $2 million charge in 2026 from regulatory disallowances, net, and including $47 million recognition of regulatory revenue reflecting returns on approved WMP capital projects resulting from the 2024 GRC Track 2 FD
$25 million charge in 2025 from disallowed regulatory recovery of COVID-19 costs
$25 million higher electric transmission margin, including the favorable impact from the retroactive application of the June 2026 FERC-approved TO6 settlement
Sempra Texas Utilities
In the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, the increase in earnings of $154 million (50%) was primarily due to higher equity earnings from Oncor Holdings driven by:

new base rates implemented in June 2026
increase due to the UTM and SRP
higher customer consumption primarily attributable to weather
higher interest expense and depreciation expense associated with increases in invested capital
higher O&M
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, the increase in earnings of $317 million (48%) was primarily due to higher equity earnings from Oncor Holdings driven by:

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 through the completion of its sale in August 2026. 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.

Utilities: Electric Revenues and Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power
Our utilities revenues include electric revenues at Sempra California, substantially all of which are at SDG&E. Intercompany revenues are eliminated in Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
SDG&E operates under a regulatory framework that permits it to recover the actual cost incurred to generate or procure electricity based on annual estimates of the cost of electricity supplied to customers. The differences in cost between estimates and actual are recovered or refunded in subsequent periods through rates.
Utility cost of electric fuel and purchased power includes utility-owned generation, power purchased from third parties, and net power purchases and sales to/from the California ISO.

In the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, Sempra’s interest income increased by $18 million to $35 million primarily due to higher interest from interest bearing cash accounts primarily from the PA LNG Phase 1 project and PA LNG Phase 2 project at Sempra Infrastructure.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, Sempra’s interest income increased by $48 million to $113 million driven by Sempra Infrastructure due to:

(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.
In the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, Sempra’s income tax expense decreased by $468 million primarily due to:
$506 million from $8 million net income tax expense in 2026 compared to $514 million net income tax expense in 2025 as a result of classifying SI Partners and Ecogas as held for sale, comprised of the following:
$714 million from $9 million income tax benefit in 2026 compared to $705 million income tax expense in 2025 to adjust deferred income tax liabilities primarily related to outside basis differences in our investment in SI Partners
$153 million income tax expense in 2025 for changes in state income tax apportionment
$344 million income tax benefit in 2025 from changes to a valuation allowance against certain tax credit carryforwards

$53 million income tax benefit in 2026 from a charge to regulatory disallowances, net, related to prior years
$59 million income tax expense from the gain on sale of Ecogas in August 2026, excluding the effects of foreign currency hedges
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, Sempra’s income tax expense decreased by $520 million primarily due to:
$600 million from $48 million net income tax benefit in 2026 compared to $552 million net income tax expense in 2025 as a result of classifying SI Partners and Ecogas as held for sale, comprised of the following:
$768 million from $63 million income tax benefit in 2026 compared to $705 million income tax expense in 2025 to adjust deferred income tax liabilities primarily related to outside basis differences in our investment in SI Partners
$153 million income tax expense in 2025 for changes in state income tax apportionment

Equity Earnings
In the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, Sempra’s equity earnings increased by $196 million (42%) to $668 million primarily due to:
$154 million at Oncor Holdings driven by:
overall higher revenues primarily attributable to:
new base rates implemented in June 2026
increase due to the UTM and SRP
higher customer consumption primarily attributable to weather
higher interest expense and depreciation expense associated with increases in invested capital
higher O&M
$19 million at IMG due to an income tax benefit in 2026 compared to an income tax expense in 2025 primarily from foreign currency and inflation effects
$13 million at TAG Norte due to gains in 2026 from foreign currency derivatives as a result of fluctuation of the Mexican peso
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, Sempra’s equity earnings increased by $392 million (33%) to $1.6 billion primarily due to:
$316 million at Oncor Holdings driven by:
overall higher revenues primarily attributable to:
increase due to the UTM and SRP
new base rates implemented in June 2026
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
rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital
higher customer consumption primarily attributable to weather
customer growth
higher depreciation expense and interest expense associated with increases in invested capital
higher O&M
$40 million at IMG due to lower income tax expense primarily from foreign currency and inflation effects and lower interest expense
$21 million at TAG Norte due to higher revenues driven by higher rates and gains in 2026 compared to losses in 2025 from foreign currency derivatives as a result of fluctuation of the Mexican peso
Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
In the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, Sempra’s earnings attributable to NCI increased by $176 million to $231 million primarily due to an increase in SI Partners subsidiaries’ net income driven by unrealized gains in 2026 compared to unrealized losses in 2025 from interest rate swaps related to the PA LNG Phase 1 project, a gain on the sale of Ecogas in August 2026, excluding the effects of the foreign currency hedges, and foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico and associated undesignated derivatives.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, Sempra’s earnings attributable to NCI increased by $376 million to $479 million primarily due to an increase in SI Partners subsidiaries’ net income driven by:
unrealized gains in 2026 compared to unrealized losses in 2025 from interest rate swaps 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
foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico and associated undesignated derivatives
a favorable impact in interest expense from the termination of interest rate swaps in 2026 related to the PA LNG Phase 1 project
a gain on the sale of Ecogas in August 2026, excluding the effects of foreign currency hedges
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 were translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates for the periods it was included in Sempra’s results of operations prior to its sale in August 2026. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025, the impact of changes in average foreign currency translation rates on our earnings was $1 million and $2 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 September 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 November 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.
