SEMPRA ENERGY REPORTS INCREASED
THIRD-QUARTER EARNINGS
• | Company on Track to Meet 2016 Adjusted Earnings-Per-Share Guidance |
• | Mexican Subsidiary IEnova Completes Acquisition of PEMEX Joint Venture, Announces Renewable Energy Projects, Raises $1.6 Billion in Equity Offering |
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 2, 2016 - Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE) today reported
third-quarter 2016 earnings of $622 million, or $2.46 per diluted share, up from $248 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2015.
These results reflect certain significant items, as described on an after-tax basis in the following table of GAAP earnings, reconciled to adjusted earnings, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 and 2015.
(1) Sempra Energy adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) are non-GAAP financial measures. See appendix for information regarding non-GAAP financial measures and descriptions of adjustments above. Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS for the three months and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2015, have been revised to include after-tax LNG development expenses of $2 million and $7 million, respectively, for consistency with the comparable periods in 2016. LNG development expenses are included in adjusted earnings in 2016. Amounts excluded from GAAP earnings are after-tax and, if applicable, after noncontrolling interests.
Adjusted earnings in the third quarter 2016 were $259 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, excluding a $350 million after-tax remeasurement gain related to the acquisition of PEMEX’s share of the Gasoductos de Chihuahua (GdC) joint venture by Sempra Energy’s Mexican subsidiary IEnova and a $78 million after-tax gain on the sale of EnergySouth by Sempra U.S. Gas & Power, partially offset by a $65 million impairment charge related to the planned sale of IEnova’s Termoeléctrica de Mexicali power plant, net of a reduction in deferred taxes.
For the first nine months of 2016, Sempra Energy’s earnings were $991 million, or $3.93 per diluted share, compared with $980 million, or $3.91 per diluted share, in the first nine months last year. Adjusted earnings for the first nine months of 2016 were $884 million, or $3.51 per diluted share, compared with $931 million, or $3.72 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2015.
“Our strong third-quarter financial results keep us on track to meet our 2016 adjusted earnings-per-share guidance, while we continue to focus on executing our growth plan,” said Debra L. Reed, chairman and CEO of Sempra Energy. “IEnova finalized its acquisition of the GdC joint venture, announced nearly 400 megawatts of
new renewable energy projects and successfully completed a $1.6 billion follow-on equity offering to help finance its growth.”
CALIFORNIA UTILITIES
San Diego Gas & Electric
Earnings for SDG&E in the third quarter 2016 increased to $183 million from $170 million in last year’s third quarter.
For the first nine months of 2016, SDG&E’s earnings were $419 million, down from $443 million in the first nine months of 2015, due primarily to a $31 million after-tax refund to ratepayers of benefits from tax repairs deductions in the second quarter 2016.
Last month, the California Public Utilities Commission approved SDG&E’s proposal to construct a new 15-mile, 230-kilovolt transmission line that will run between the utility’s Sycamore Canyon and Peñasquitos substations in north-central San Diego to improve reliability.
In August, the CPUC also approved a proposal by SDG&E to build two new energy storage projects in San Diego County to enhance electric reliability.
Southern California Gas Co.
SoCalGas recorded no earnings in the third quarter 2016, compared with a loss of $8 million in the third quarter 2015. Beginning last year, SoCalGas adopted an order by the CPUC to recognize revenues from the utility’s core activities on a seasonally adjusted basis (seasonality). The application of seasonality in revenues results in substantially all of SoCalGas’ annual earnings being reported in the first and fourth quarters of the year, but does not affect full-year operating earnings or cash flow.
For the first nine months of 2016, SoCalGas’ earnings were $198 million, down from earnings of $276 million in the first nine months of 2015. SoCalGas’ second-quarter 2016 results reflected a $49 million after-tax refund to ratepayers of benefits from tax repairs deductions and a $13 million after-tax impairment related to the denial of the proposed North-South Pipeline.
SEMPRA INTERNATIONAL
Sempra South American Utilities
In the third quarter 2016, earnings for Sempra South American Utilities were $46 million, up from $43 million in the third quarter 2015.
For the first nine months of 2016, earnings for Sempra South American Utilities were $127 million, compared with $129 million in the first nine months of 2015.
Sempra Mexico
Third-quarter earnings for Sempra Mexico were $332 million in 2016, compared with $63 million in 2015, due primarily to the $350 million after-tax remeasurement gain on the Gasoductos de Chihuahua acquisition, offset by the $65 million after-tax charge related to the planned sale of the Termoeléctrica de Mexicali plant and beneficial effects of foreign currency and inflation in last year’s third quarter.
For the nine-month period, Sempra Mexico had earnings of $407 million in 2016, compared with $160 million in 2015.
Last month, IEnova raised $1.6 billion in a follow-on equity offering, primarily to finance recent and pending acquisitions. Sempra Energy participated in the offering by purchasing $351 million of IEnova stock and now owns approximately 66 percent of IEnova.
In September, IEnova announced it had completed the acquisition of PEMEX Transformación Industrial’s 50-percent equity interest in the GdC joint venture for approximately $1.14 billion, plus the assumption of $364 million in long-term debt. The assets included in the transaction comprise three natural gas pipelines, an ethane pipeline, and a liquid petroleum gas pipeline and associated storage terminal.
In September, IEnova announced the expected addition of nearly 400 megawatts of renewable energy in Mexico. Included were two solar energy projects totaling 141 megawatts, awarded by Mexico’s Centro Nacional de Control de Energía. The two projects will be fully contracted and are expected to be completed in the first half of 2019. Also included was the agreement to purchase Mexico’s largest wind farm, the 252-megawatt Ventika wind facility, which went into service in April. The Ventika purchase is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter 2016.
SEMPRA U.S. GAS & POWER
Sempra Renewables
Earnings for Sempra Renewables in the third quarter 2016 were $17 million, up from $15 million in last year’s third quarter.
During the first nine months of 2016, earnings for Sempra Renewables were $43 million, compared with $47 million in the first nine months of 2015.
Sempra Natural Gas
In the third quarter 2016, Sempra Natural Gas’ earnings were $77 million, compared with $1 million in last year’s third quarter, due to the $78 million after-tax gain from the sale of EnergySouth.
For the first nine months of 2016, Sempra Natural Gas recorded a loss of $104 million, compared with earnings of $43 million in the first nine months of last year, primarily due to losses related to the sale of the
company’s stake in the Rockies Express Pipeline and the permanent releases of pipeline capacity, partially offset by the gain from the EnergySouth sale.
EARNINGS GUIDANCE
Sempra Energy today announced its 2016 GAAP earnings-per-share guidance range of $5 to $5.40 and also reaffirmed its 2016 adjusted earnings-per-share guidance range of $4.60 to $5.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share for the third quarter in 2016 and nine-month periods in both 2016 and 2015 for Sempra Energy, as well as Sempra Energy’s 2016 adjusted earnings-per-share guidance. Additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures is in the appendix on Table A of the third-quarter financial tables.

RECONCILIATION OF SEMPRA ENERGY GAAP EARNINGS TO SEMPRA ENERGY ADJUSTED EARNINGS (Unaudited)
Sempra Energy Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share exclude items (after the effects of taxes and, if applicable, noncontrolling interests) in 2016 and 2015 as follows:

Sempra Energy Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are non-GAAP financial measures (GAAP represents accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America). Because of the significance and nature of these items, management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a more meaningful comparison of the performance of Sempra Energy’s business operations from 2016 to 2015 and to future periods, and also as a base for projection of future earnings-per-share compound annual growth rate (EPS CAGR) from 2016 to 2020. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplementary information that should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The table below reconciles for historical periods these non-GAAP financial measures to Sempra Energy Earnings and Diluted Earnings Per Common Share, which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

▪ | $350 million noncash gain from the remeasurement of our equity method investment in GdC recorded in September 2016; |
▪ | $78 million gain from the September 2016 sale of EnergySouth; |
▪ | $123 million charge recorded in the second quarter of 2016 from Sempra Natural Gas’ permanent release of pipeline capacity; |
