On an adjusted basis, the company's third-quarter 2022 earnings were $622 million or $1.97 per diluted share, compared to $545 million, or $1.70 per diluted share, in 2021. As a result of the company's strong execution and financial results in the first nine months of the year, Sempra is updating its full-year 2022 GAAP earnings per common share (EPS) guidance range to $7.07 to $7.37 and raising its full-year 2022 adjusted EPS guidance range to $8.70 to $9.00. "Disciplined execution across our three growth platforms drove strong third-quarter financial results, while also advancing our mission to be North America's premier energy infrastructure company," said Jeffrey W. Martin, chairman and chief executive officer of Sempra. "We have made significant progress on advancing development at Port Arthur LNG, where we now expect to take a final investment decision on Phase 1 in the first quarter of next year." Sempra's earnings for the first nine months of 2022 were $1.656 billion, or $5.23 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $650 million, or $2.09 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2021. Adjusted earnings for the first nine months of 2022 were $2.172 billion, or $6.87 per diluted share, compared to $1.949 billion, or $6.27 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2021. The reported financial results reflect certain significant items as described on an after-tax basis in the following table of GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America) earnings, reconciled to adjusted earnings, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 and 2021.

See Table A for information regarding non-GAAP financial measures and descriptions of adjustments. Sempra California Sempra California's San Diego Gas & Electric Co. (SDG&E) and Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) continue to advance key regulatory filings to support the companies' investments, which align with California's clean energy goals and focus on safety, reliability and decarbonizing the economy. Both companies are awaiting a final decision by year-end from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) on their updated cost of capital applications for 2023 through 2025, which were filed earlier this year. Specific to SDG&E's 2022 off-cycle cost of capital application, a proposed decision and an alternate proposed decision were issued on September 30, and the CPUC is scheduled to approve a decision today. Additionally, both SDG&E and SoCalGas are continuing to pursue a series of opportunities to advance clean energy and new technologies in California. In September, the companies filed a joint CPUC application with Southwest Gas to conduct hydrogen blending demonstration projects in collaboration with the Universities of California at Irvine and San Diego to enhance grid resiliency and help the state reach its goal of carbon neutrality by 2045. The projects build upon years of research to scale hydrogen blending to help drive decarbonization across multiple sectors of the economy. Other projects either proposed or under development by SDG&E or SoCalGas in pursuit of sustainable technologies include opportunities to supply renewable natural gas to customers, deploy microgrids and develop energy storage at strategic locations and substations in their service areas. Also, SoCalGas is advancing decarbonization of the Los Angeles region through Angeles Link, its proposed green hydrogen energy network. Sempra Texas In Texas, Oncor has invested $2.2 billion of its $3 billion 2022 capital plan to support strong economic growth and improved system reliability and expansion in its service territory. During the quarter, Oncor connected approximately 14,000 new premises, bringing its year-to-date new premise count to approximately 49,000. Additionally, Oncor remains on pace to set a company record for new annual transmission interconnection requests in 2022, with 65 new transmission point-of-interconnection requests received in the third quarter. Of the 565 active generation requests in queue, approximately 52% are solar, 35% are storage, and 10% are wind, highlighting the company's continued efforts to facilitate the growing integration of renewables in its service area. Across its territory, Oncor placed $80 million of transmission projects into service in the third quarter. These included placement of two major substation projects into service and a portion of the construction or upgrade of approximately 300 miles of transmission and distribution lines. Oncor is progressing its base rate review with the Public Utility Commission of Texas and expects final resolution of the case by the end of the first quarter of 2023. Sempra Infrastructure Sempra Infrastructure is focused on clean power, energy networks, liquefied natural gas (LNG) and net-zero investments to support the deployment of energy solutions critical to advancing global climate goals, while meeting the concurrent need for secure, abundant and reliable energy. The company is continuing to make significant commercial advancements at its LNG and other North American energy infrastructure projects. Sempra Infrastructure is now targeting a final investment decision (FID) for Phase 1 of its Port Arthur LNG project in the first quarter of 2023. This follows the company's recent announcement that it has finalized its fixed-price engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 and the substantial completion of marketing for Phase 1, which was achieved during the second quarter through a series of previously announced non-binding agreements with both domestic and international counterparties. A similarly sized Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project is also under active marketing and development. The company continues to advance its Cameron LNG Phase 2 project under development and anticipates FID on Train 4 after the front-end engineering and design process is completed, which is currently targeted for the summer of 2023. Sempra Infrastructure is also making progress on its clean energy projects in North America. In late October, the company announced a 20-year power purchase agreement with Silicon Valley Power for the long-term supply of renewable energy to the City of Santa Clara, Calif., from the proposed Cimarrón project, a 300-megawatt cross-border wind generation facility under development in Baja California, Mexico. Also in October, the company entered into an HOA with AVANGRID for the potential joint development of green hydrogen and ammonia projects powered by renewable sources to help meet the energy and decarbonization needs of both U.S. and international customers. Earnings Guidance Sempra is updating its full-year 2022 GAAP EPS guidance range to $7.07 to $7.37. As a result of the company's strong execution and financial results in the first nine months of the year, Sempra is raising its full-year 2022 adjusted EPS guidance range to $8.70 to $9.00. Sempra also is affirming its full-year 2023 EPS guidance range of $8.60 to $9.20. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Non-GAAP financial measures include Sempra's adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS, and adjusted EPS guidance range. See Table A for additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures.

These non-GAAP financial measures exclude significant items that are generally not related to our ongoing business activities and/or are infrequent in nature. These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude the impact from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico and associated undesignated derivatives and unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, which we expect to occur in future periods, and which can vary significantly from one period to the next. Exclusion of these items is useful to management and investors because it provides a meaningful comparison of the performance of Sempra's business operations to prior and future periods. 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 GAAP Earnings (Losses) and GAAP EPS, which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

We did not record an income tax expense for the equity earnings from our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities LLP because, even though a portion of the liabilities may be deductible under United Kingdom tax law, it is not probable that the deduction will reduce United Kingdom taxes. (2) In the three months ended September 30, 2021, the total weighted-average number of potentially dilutive securities of 699 were not included in the computation of GAAP EPS because to do so would have decreased losses per share, additionally because the conversion of the series B preferred stock is dilutive for Adjusted Earnings, 640 series B preferred stock shares are added back to the denominator used to calculate Adjusted EPS.

Sempra Infrastructure and Silicon Valley Power Sign Agreement for Renewable Energy Supply
HOUSTON, Oct. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Sempra (NYSE: SRE) (BMV: SRE), and Silicon Valley Power (SVP) announced today they have entered into a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for the long-term supply of renewable energy to the City of Santa Clara, Calif., from the proposed Cimarrón wind project, Sempra Infrastructure's cross-border wind generation facility under development in Baja California, Mexico. Cimarrón is expected to be a 300-megawatt (MW) wind generation facility that utilizes Sempra Infrastructure's existing cross-border high voltage transmission line to interconnect and deliver clean energy to the East County Substation in San Diego County. "We are excited to work with the City of Santa Clara, home to some of the world's largest technology companies, to provide access to renewable energy that can help meet their energy demands while supporting their sustainable energy goals," said Justin Bird, CEO of Sempra Infrastructure. "This agreement underscores our commitment to advancing the development of our North American clean energy portfolio as we continue to help create a cleaner energy future." "Silicon Valley Power continues to make strategic long-term investments in clean energy and add diverse energy resources to our power portfolio," said Manuel Pineda, Chief Electric Utility Officer of Silicon Valley Power. "We are excited to partner with Sempra Infrastructure to add clean energy resources to help meet our sustainability and climate goals." Cimarrón is being developed to include approximately 60 wind turbines with a capacity to produce enough energy equivalent to the annual energy consumption of more than 84 thousand homes and is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 210,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2-eq) per year. The construction of the new facility is expected to create more than 2,000 direct and indirect jobs in Mexico with additional local community investment under Sempra Infrastructure's framework for corporate giving as part of the company's commitment to the communities where it operates. The development of Cimarrón is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including securing all necessary commercial agreements and permits and other factors, including reaching a final investment decision. Advancing cleaner energy As one of the leading producers of clean energy in Mexico, Sempra Infrastructure is focused on developing infrastructure to support the deployment of cleaner energy and the expansion of energy networks in North America. Sempra Infrastructure owns and operates more than 1,000 MW of renewable capacity from two wind generation facilities and five solar parks. All together, these projects generated over 2.5 million MWh of net renewable energy in 2021, equivalent to reducing emissions by more than 1 million tons of CO2.

SDG&E Adds Energy Storage and Microgrids to Strengthen Grid Reliability, Build Community Resiliency and Advance Clean Energy Goals
Following a summer of record temperatures in California, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) today announced the start of testing for the company’s new 40 MW energy storage project in Fallbrook and the start of construction on one of four energy storage and microgrid projects that will bring an additional 39 MW of battery capacity to the region. SDG&E has been rapidly expanding its energy storage portfolio. The company has about 95 MW of utility-owned energy storage currently available, with another 200+ MW in development. SDG&E Vice President of Energy Innovation Miguel Romero was joined by San Diego Councilmember Raul Campillo (District 7) as well as local business and labor leaders to break ground on the Elliott Microgrid located at SDG&E’s existing substation in Tierrasanta. “Innovations like storage and microgrids are vital to building a more resilient electric grid that can extend the availability of renewable energy into peak demand hours and better prepare communities to manage through emergencies,” said Romero. During last month’s heatwave, energy storage, in addition to energy conservation efforts, helped California avoid rotating outages. California has increased investment in energy storage since 2020 and the state now has close to 4,000 MW of batteries. These batteries provided an estimated 4% of the electricity supply during peak demand to help avert rotating outages. Within SDG&E’s service territory, utility-scale battery storage systems – utility and third party-owned – served as much as 7% of the regional load during peak hours of the heatwave. “Extreme weather events, like the recent record heatwave, require our region to strengthen our emergency preparedness and resiliency,” said Campillo. “Investing in innovative clean energy technology like the Tierrasanta Microgrid will bolster public safety while also bringing economic opportunity to local, family-owned businesses.” Microgrids are small-scale grids that can operate independent of or parallel to the larger regional grid will also help keep critical community facilities powered during unexpected outages. Once complete, the Elliott Microgrid will have the ability to power Fire Station 39, the Tierrasanta Public Library/Cool Zone, Tierrasanta Medical Center, Jean Farb Middle School, Canyon Hills High School, and Tierrasanta and Kumeyaay Elementary Schools. Construction of the Fallbrook energy storage facility has been completed, and the facility is undergoing testing to be connected to the state energy market so the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) can dispatch these resources as needed to balance energy supply and demand throughout the state. The Fallbrook facility will be able to store a total of 40 MW of energy or enough to energize 25,000 homes. Battery storage works by capturing renewable resources like wind and solar when they are abundant during the day, then sending that energy back to the grid when it is needed, such as at night when the sun has set or when energy supply is tight during hot summer months. SDG&E is an innovative San Diego-based energy company that provides clean, safe and reliable energy to better the lives of the people it serves in San Diego and southern Orange counties. The company is committed to creating a sustainable future by providing its electricity from renewable sources; modernizing natural gas pipelines; accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles; supporting numerous non-profit partners; and, investing in innovative technologies to ensure the reliable operation of the region’s infrastructure for generations to come. SDG&E is a subsidiary of Sempra (NYSE: SRE). For more information, visit SDGEnews.com or connect with SDG&E on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

SDG&E Shares Latest Wildfire Safety Advancements & Public Safety Power Shutoff Tips
San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) is unveiling its latest wildfire mitigation and resiliency advancements while urging its customers to prepare for possible wildfires and Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) during the region’s Santa Ana wind season, which is typically between September and December. Wildfire season is now year-round in California, however, the risk for wildfires in Southern California especially increases when seasonal Santa Ana winds become more active. This time of year is referred to as peak wildfire season. “Just one wildfire could significantly impact the health and safety of our customers, which is why our team works so hard to strengthen our electrical grid to help reduce the risk of wildfires and the impacts of Public Safety Power Shutoffs in our high fire threat areas,” said SDG&E CEO Caroline Winn. “This work also benefits our entire region in that it helps to defend against other extreme weather conditions as we build a smart energy grid of the future that can support the clean energy transition.” Over the last decade, SDG&E has made significant improvements to its electric infrastructure to help mitigate the impacts of PSPS on its customers and withstand extreme weather conditions. This year alone, the company plans to underground nearly 50 miles of power lines and install additional sectionalizing devices, which are intended to limit the size of outages by isolating faults, on its overhead power lines. When combined, these efforts will help reduce PSPS impacts to more than 7,000 customers in some of the highest risk areas. Additionally, SDG&E has a total of seven microgrids that are already in use, or under construction. These microgrids will help keep communities and critical facilities like fire stations, schools and public safety infrastructure such as CAL FIRE’s Air Attack Base in Ramona energized during outages and Public Safety Power Shutoffs. Because these facilities can operate without needing to be connected to the larger energy grid, communities and emergency responders will continue to have access to critical resources during a planned or unplanned outage. Since 2020, SDG&E has also completed the following infrastructure enhancements: Strategically undergrounded more than 70 miles of the riskiest overhead infrastructure Hardened more than 430 miles of overhead power lines, including wood-to-steel pole replacements Upgraded more than 40 miles of power lines with covered wires, which provide additional protection for the line from falling debris Deployed Falling Conductor Protection technology, which deenergizes a power line before it hits the ground, in select areas at most risk for wildfires “We’ve made significant strides in strengthening our electric infrastructure, but that’s only part of the equation,” said SDG&E Vice President of Wildfire and Climate Science, Brian D’Agostino. “To be as strategic and surgical as possible when it comes to turning off someone’s power, we really have to understand the weather, the climate and the wildfire risk in very specific areas of our service territory.” Over the last 10 years, the company has developed a state-of-the-art situational awareness network, which includes pan-tilt-zoom cameras that enable smoke detection technology, more than 220 weather stations, artificial intelligence modeling and satellite imagery. This year SDG&E will continue improving its network of weather stations and further expand the number of hilltop cameras, some of which are in new locations that allow its in-house meteorology team to predict weather more accurately in areas that are at risk for wildfires. The company is also installing air quality sensors to better understand the impacts of wildfire smoke on the health and safety of its customers and employees. SDG&E has also leveraged aerial drones to inspect its powerlines in areas with the highest wildfire risk along with machine learning to enhance its ability to detect issues on powerlines. The data pulled from this network allows SDG&E to strategically time and initiate PSPS to reduce customer impacts as much as possible. The information also allows the company to strengthen its electric grid in priority areas to further reduce PSPS impacts and the overall risk of wildfires. Because the safety of our customers, employees and the communities we serve is our highest priority, SDG&E may initiate a PSPS as a last resort preventative measure to help protect our communities from wildfires. The decision to initiate a PSPS is informed by a combination of factors including wind speeds, humidity levels, field observations by SDG&E crews, vegetation moisture and information from fire agencies. If these factors threaten SDG&E’s ability to safely operate the electric system, power may be temporarily shut off. While SDG&E is doing everything in its power to prepare for high fire-risk weather, preparing our region is a whole community effort. "We recognize that community preparedness takes all of us working together and strengthening our partnerships with trusted community-based organizations, such as 211 San Diego and Orange County, the Red Cross and the South Bay Fire Academy helps us broaden our reach and provide people with the information, tools and resources they need to remain resilient," said D’Agostino. SDG&E continues to forge strong partnerships with Community Based Organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations, local governments and Public Safety Partners. These partnerships help the company provide information, tools and resources to more customers prior to, during and following a PSPS. Most recently, SDG&E has made accessibility enhancements to its PSPS website and PSPS mobile app, and the company has released its own Alexa skill which offers real-time notifications, including weather forecasts, fire potential, PSPS information, Community Resource Center locations and State flex alert information through the Amazon Alexa voice assistant using any Alexa device or the Alexa app. From strengthening the electric grid, to improving its situational awareness, to supporting its customers during PSPS and extreme weather, SDG&E remains as committed as ever to the health, safety, and resiliency of its customers, employees and the communities it serves. “At SDG&E, our culture is to be better today than we were yesterday, and that is what drives us to work tirelessly to reduce the chance of a wildfire and the devastating impacts to communities,” said Winn. “We recognize there is still much work to be done and it cannot be done alone.” In advance of peak Santa Ana wind season, SDG&E recommends customers update their account contact information via My Account and download the Alerts by SDG&E mobile app to receive PSPS alerts.
