OVERVIEW

This combined MD&A includes the operational and financial results of the following three Registrants:

▪Sempra is a holding company whose principal businesses are regulated utilities in California and Texas. Our businesses invest in and operate electric and gas utilities and other energy infrastructure that provide energy services to customers.

▪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.

▪SoCalGas is a regulated public natural gas distribution utility, serving customers throughout most of Southern California and part of central California.

This combined MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto in this report, and the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto, “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Part II – Item 7. MD&A” in the Annual Report.

Sempra has the following three reportable segments, which reflect how the CODM oversees operational and financial performance:

▪Sempra California

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS BY REGISTRANT

Throughout this MD&A, our references to earnings represent earnings attributable to common shares. Variance amounts presented are the after-tax earnings impact (based on applicable statutory tax rates unless otherwise noted) and after NCI but before foreign currency and inflation effects, where applicable.

We discuss herein Sempra’s results of operations and significant changes in earnings, revenues and costs by segment, as well as Parent and other, in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. We also discuss herein the impact of foreign currency and inflation rates on Sempra’s results of operations.

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.

Table of Contents

In the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, the decrease in earnings of $4 million (1%) was primarily due to:

▪$34 million lower income tax benefits primarily from flow-through items

▪$14 million higher net interest expense

Offset by:

▪$38 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

▪$6 million regulatory award approved by the CPUC in 2026

Sempra Texas Utilities

In the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, the increase in earnings of $25 million (17%) was primarily due to higher equity earnings from Oncor Holdings driven by:

▪overall higher revenues primarily attributable to:

◦the establishment of the UTM in June 2025 and the SRP

◦rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital

◦customer growth

Offset by:

◦lower customer consumption primarily attributable to weather

Offset by:

▪higher interest expense and depreciation expense associated with increases in invested capital

▪higher O&M

Sempra Infrastructure

In the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, the increase in earnings of $116 million was primarily due to:

▪$58 million from asset and supply optimization driven by unrealized gains on commodity derivatives in 2026 compared to unrealized losses on commodity derivatives in 2025 due to changes in natural gas prices and higher optimization of transport and storage contracts

▪$36 million lower depreciation expense as a result of classifying SI Partners and Ecogas as held for sale in September 2025 and June 2025, respectively

▪$35 million net income tax benefit in 2026 as a result of classifying SI Partners and Ecogas as held for sale, comprised of the following:

◦$33 million net income tax benefit to adjust deferred income tax liabilities primarily related to outside basis differences in our investment in SI Partners

◦$2 million income tax benefit to adjust a Mexican deferred income tax liability on our outside basis difference in Ecogas

▪$12 million favorable impact from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico and associated undesignated derivatives, comprised of a $19 million favorable impact in 2026 compared to a $7 million favorable impact in 2025

Offset by:

▪$11 million higher O&M from changes in provisions for expected credit losses

▪$9 million from revenues in 2025 driven by a contract modification in December 2024 on an LNG storage and regasification agreement that ended in December 2025

Parent and Other

In the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, the increase in losses of $6 million (5%) was primarily due to:

▪$17 million higher net interest expense

▪$14 million unfavorable impact from $4 million net investment losses in 2026 compared to $10 million net investment gains in 2025 on dedicated assets in support of our employee nonqualified benefit plan and deferred compensation plan

Offset by:

▪$11 million preferred dividends in 2025 prior to the redemption of series C preferred stock

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN REVENUES AND COSTS

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.

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.

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 Consolidated Financial Statements.

In 2025 compared to 2024, the decrease in earnings of $418 million (23%) was primarily due to:

▪$432 million charge in 2025 from regulatory disallowances related to 2019 through 2024 associated with the 2024 GRC Track 2 FD, which we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

▪$159 million lower income tax benefits primarily from flow-through items, including gas repairs tax benefits, offset by impacts from the election to accelerate self-developed software deductions and the resolution of prior year income tax items

▪$63 million higher net interest expense

▪$25 million charge in 2025 from disallowed regulatory recovery of COVID-19 costs

Offset by:

▪$148 million higher CPUC base operating margin, net of operating expenses including higher depreciation, $44 million lower authorized cost of capital and a $32 million charge from regulatory disallowances associated with the 2024 GRC Track 2 FD related to 2025

▪$89 million charge in 2024 for amounts relating to the FERC order finding that the TO5 adder refund provision has been triggered, requiring SDG&E to refund customers the California ISO adder retroactively from June 1, 2019

▪$15 million impairment in 2024 from disallowed capital costs in the 2024 GRC FD

Sempra Texas Utilities

In 2025 compared to 2024, the increase in earnings of $80 million (10%) was primarily due to higher equity earnings from Oncor Holdings driven by:

▪overall higher revenues primarily attributable to:

◦the establishment of the UTM

◦rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital

◦customer growth

◦higher annual energy efficiency program performance bonus

Offset by:

▪higher interest expense and depreciation expense associated with increases in invested capital

▪higher O&M

Sempra Infrastructure

In 2025 compared to 2024, losses were $160 million compared to earnings of $911 million primarily due to:

▪$703 million income tax expense in 2025 as a result of management’s decision to classify SI Partners and Ecogas as held for sale, comprised of the following:

◦$693 million income tax expense to adjust deferred income tax liabilities primarily related to outside basis differences in our investment in SI Partners

◦$10 million income tax expense due to the recognition of a deferred tax liability on our outside basis difference in Ecogas

▪$445 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico, comprised of a $181 million unfavorable impact in 2025 compared to a $264 million favorable impact in 2024

▪$43 million lower income tax benefit primarily from outside basis differences and the remeasurement of certain deferred income taxes

▪$30 million unfavorable impact in interest expense from unrealized gains in 2024 on interest rate swaps related to the PA LNG Phase 1 project

▪$27 million unfavorable impact related to a customer’s early termination of firm transportation agreements, including interest expense

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN REVENUES AND COSTS

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 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.

(1)    We discuss how we recognize equity earnings in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 2025 compared to 2024, Sempra’s income tax expense increased by $482 million primarily due to:

▪$576 million from $240 million income tax expense in 2025 compared to $336 million income tax benefit in 2024 from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico

▪$516 million net income tax expense in 2025 as a result of management’s decision to classify SI Partners and Ecogas as held for sale, comprised of the following:

◦$693 million income tax expense to adjust deferred income tax liabilities primarily related to outside basis differences in our investment in SI Partners

◦$153 million income tax expense for changes in state income tax apportionment

◦$14 million income tax expense due to the recognition of a Mexican deferred tax liability on our outside basis differences in Ecogas

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 Notes 1 and 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details about our accounting for income taxes and items subject to flow-through treatment.

Equity Earnings

In 2025 compared to 2024, Sempra’s equity earnings decreased by $5 million remaining at $1.6 billion primarily due to:

▪$93 million at IMG due to an income tax expense in 2025 compared to an income tax benefit in 2024 primarily from foreign currency and inflation effects

▪$19 million in 2024 related to our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities LLP from the substantial dissolution of the partnership

Offset by:

▪$82 million at Oncor Holdings driven by:

◦overall higher revenues primarily attributable to:

•the establishment of the UTM

•rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital

•customer growth

•higher annual energy efficiency program performance bonus

Offset by:

◦higher interest expense and depreciation expense associated with increases in invested capital

◦higher O&M

▪$37 million at Cameron LNG JV primarily from lower interest expense, higher revenues from excess LNG and higher maintenance revenues

Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

In 2025 compared to 2024, Sempra’s earnings attributable to NCI decreased by $400 million to $238 million primarily due to a decrease in SI Partners subsidiaries’ net income driven by foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico and unrealized losses in 2025 compared to unrealized gains in 2024 from interest rate swaps related to the PA LNG Phase 1 project.

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 2025 compared to 2024, the impact of changes in average foreign currency translation rates on our earnings was $1 million.

Although the functional currency for most of our Mexican subsidiaries and equity method investees is the U.S. dollar, certain transactions are denominated in the local currency. These local currency transactions are remeasured into U.S. dollars, which results in transactional gains and losses recognized in other income, net, for consolidated entities and in equity earnings for equity method investments.

2025 Form 10-K | 81

Table of Contents

We may utilize cross-currency swaps to convert Mexican peso-denominated principal and interest payments into U.S. dollars and swap Mexican fixed interest rates for U.S. fixed interest rates. The effects of these cross-currency swaps are initially recorded in OCI and are reclassified from AOCI into earnings through other income, net, and interest expense as settlements occur.

Certain of our Mexican pipelines (namely Los Ramones I and San Fernando at IEnova Pipelines and Los Ramones Norte at TAG Pipelines) generate revenue based on government-regulated tariffs with contracts denominated in Mexican pesos that are indexed to the U.S. dollar and adjusted annually for inflation and exchange rate movements. As a result, remeasurement of these peso-denominated amounts into U.S. dollars gives rise to foreign currency gains and losses. These impacts, together with the offsetting gains and losses from the settlement of related foreign currency forwards and swaps, are recorded in revenues: energy-related businesses or equity earnings.

In addition, our Mexican subsidiaries hold U.S. dollar-denominated cash balances, receivables, payables and debt (monetary assets and liabilities) that are subject to Mexican currency exchange rate movements for Mexican income tax purposes. These subsidiaries also have significant deferred income tax assets and liabilities denominated in Mexican pesos that must be translated into U.S. dollars for financial reporting. Moreover, Mexican tax law requires monetary assets and liabilities and certain nonmonetary assets and liabilities to be adjusted for inflation. As a result, fluctuations in both the currency exchange rate for the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar and Mexican inflation can cause volatility in income tax expense, other income, net, and equity earnings. We may use foreign currency derivatives to help manage exposure to exchange rate movements on monetary assets and liabilities, with derivative impacts reflected in other income, net. However, we generally do not hedge our deferred income tax assets and liabilities, which makes us susceptible to volatility in income tax expense caused by exchange rate and inflationary changes.

The impact from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and Mexican inflation on our results of operations is summarized in the following table.

At December 31, 2025, SI Partners, which holds our foreign operations, is classified as held for sale. Upon completion of the sale, which we expect to occur in the second or third quarter of 2026, we will deconsolidate SI Partners and account for our remaining 25% interest under the equity method, thereby reducing volatility in our results of operations associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and Mexican inflation.

Offset by:

▪$62 million lower purchased power from the California ISO due to lower market prices and lower customer demand from departing load now served by CCAs

Natural Gas Revenues and Cost of Natural Gas

SDG&E’s average cost of natural gas per thousand cubic feet was $5.40 in 2025 and $5.41 in 2024. The average cost of natural gas sold at SDG&E is impacted by market prices, as well as transportation, tariff and other charges.

In 2025 compared to 2024, SDG&E’s natural gas revenues increased by $101 million (10%) to $1.1 billion primarily due to:

▪$62 million higher regulatory revenues associated with refundable programs, which are fully offset in O&M

In 2025 compared to 2024, SDG&E had an income tax benefit in 2025 compared to income tax expense in 2024 primarily due to:

▪$173 million income tax benefit in 2025 from regulatory disallowances related to 2019 through 2024 associated with the 2024 GRC Track 2 FD

▪higher income tax benefit in 2025 from higher ITCs from standalone energy storage projects

We discuss herein SoCalGas’ results of operations and significant changes in earnings, revenues and costs for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. For a discussion of SoCalGas’ results of operations and significant changes in earnings, revenues and costs for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, refer to “Part II – Item 7. MD&A – Results of Operations” in our 2024 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollars in millions)

In 2025 compared to 2024, the decrease in SoCalGas’ earnings of $90 million (9%) was primarily due to:

▪$146 million lower income tax benefits primarily from flow-through items including gas repairs tax benefits, offset by the resolution of prior year income tax items and impacts from the election to accelerate self-developed software deductions

▪$34 million higher net interest expense

▪$25 million charge in 2025 from disallowed regulatory recovery of COVID-19 costs

▪$8 million lower net regulatory interest income

▪$6 million lower regulatory award approved by the CPUC

Offset by:

▪$115 million higher CPUC base operating margin, net of operating expenses including higher depreciation and $25 million lower authorized cost of capital

▪$15 million impairment in 2024 from disallowed capital costs in the 2024 GRC FD

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN REVENUES AND COSTS

Natural Gas Revenues and Cost of Natural Gas

SoCalGas’ average cost of natural gas per thousand cubic feet was $3.92 in 2025 and $3.28 in 2024. The average cost of natural gas sold at SoCalGas is impacted by market prices, as well as transportation and other charges.

In 2025 compared to 2024, SoCalGas’ natural gas revenues increased by $82 million (1%) to $6.3 billion primarily due to:

▪$162 million higher CPUC-authorized base revenues, net of $34 million lower authorized cost of capital

▪$139 million increase in cost of natural gas sold, which we discuss below

▪$59 million higher revenues from incremental and balanced capital projects offset by lower authorized cost of capital

Offset by:

▪$129 million lower regulatory revenues primarily from the release of a regulatory liability in 2024 for gas repairs tax benefits as a result of the 2024 GRC FD

▪$54 million lower regulatory revenues associated with impacts from the election to accelerate self-developed software deductions, which are offset in income tax benefit (expense)

▪$44 million lower regulatory revenues associated with refundable programs, which are fully offset in O&M

▪$29 million lower revenues in 2025 from disallowed regulatory recovery of COVID-19 costs

▪$9 million lower regulatory award approved by the CPUC

In 2025 compared to 2024, SoCalGas’ cost of natural gas increased by $139 million (14%) to $1.1 billion due to:

▪$181 million higher average natural gas prices

Offset by:

▪$42 million lower volumes driven by weather

Operation and Maintenance

In 2025 compared to 2024, SoCalGas’ O&M decreased by $102 million (4%) to $2.7 billion due to:

▪$44 million lower expenses associated with refundable programs, which costs are recovered in revenue

▪$38 million lower non-refundable operating costs

▪$20 million impairment in 2024 from disallowed capital costs in the 2024 GRC FD

Other (Expense) Income, Net

In 2025 compared to 2024, SoCalGas’ other expense, net, was $6 million compared to other income, net, of $25 million primarily due to:

▪$13 million higher non-service components of net periodic benefit cost

▪$11 million lower net interest income on regulatory balancing accounts

▪$7 million reduction in regulatory interest in 2025 from disallowed regulatory recovery of COVID-19 costs

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

OVERVIEW

Sempra

Capital Recycling Program

We regularly review our portfolio of assets with a view toward allocating capital to the businesses we believe can further enhance shareholder value. In September 2025, we entered into an agreement to sell a 45% equity interest in SI Partners to the KKR Partners for $9.99 billion, subject to adjustments. In December 2025, we entered into an agreement to sell Ecogas for 9.0 billion Mexican pesos (approximately $500 million U.S. dollar-equivalent at December 31, 2025), subject to adjustments. We expect to complete the sales in the second or third quarter of 2026, subject to closing conditions. We discuss these sales further in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and below in “Sempra Infrastructure.”

Liquidity

We expect to meet our cash requirements primarily through:

▪cash flows from operations

▪unrestricted cash and cash equivalents

▪borrowings under or supported by our credit facilities

▪other incurrences of debt which may include issuing debt securities and obtaining term loans

▪selling assets or equity interests in our subsidiaries or development projects, including the planned sale of a portion of our equity interest in SI Partners

▪issuing equity securities under our ATM program or other offerings

▪funding from NCI owners or CRNCI owners

We believe that these cash flow sources, combined with available funds, will be adequate to fund our operations in both the short-term and long-term, including to:

▪finance capital expenditures

▪repay debt

▪fund dividends

▪fund contractual and other obligations and otherwise meet liquidity requirements

▪fund capital contributions

▪fund new business or asset acquisitions

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas currently have reasonable access to the money markets and capital markets and are not currently constrained in their ability to borrow or otherwise raise money at market rates from commercial banks, under existing revolving credit facilities, through public offerings of debt or equity securities (including under our ATM program or other offerings), or through private placements of debt supported by our revolving credit facilities in the case of commercial paper. However, our ability to access these markets or obtain credit from commercial banks outside of our committed revolving credit facilities could become materially constrained if economic conditions worsen or disruptions to or volatility in these markets increase. In addition, our financing activities, actions by credit rating agencies and prevailing interest rates, as well as many other factors, could negatively affect the availability and cost of both short-term and long-term debt and equity financing. Also, cash flows from operations may be impacted by the timing and outcomes of regulatory proceedings, commencement and completion of, and potential cost overruns for, large projects and other material events. If cash flows from operations were to be significantly reduced or we were unable to borrow or obtain other financing under acceptable terms, we would likely first reduce or postpone discretionary capital expenditures (not related to safety or reliability) and investments in new businesses. We monitor our ability to finance the needs of our operating, investing and financing activities in a manner consistent with our goal to maintain our investment-grade credit ratings.

Redemption of Series C Preferred Stock

As we discuss in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in September 2025, we provided notice of the redemption of all 900,000 issued and outstanding shares of our series C preferred stock for a redemption price in cash of $1,000 per share. On October 15, 2025, we effected and paid $900 million for the redemption using proceeds received from our August 2025 issuance of junior subordinated notes and short-term debt, which we discuss below and in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

ATM Program and Forward Sales Agreements

In November 2024, we established an ATM program providing for the offer and sale of shares of Sempra common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $3.0 billion through agents acting as our sales agents or as forward sellers or directly to the agents as principals. The shares may be offered and sold in amounts and at times to be determined by us from time to time.

Since establishing the ATM program, an aggregate of 4,996,591 shares have been sold under the forward sale agreements described below with an average initial forward price of $83.175 per share. Such average initial forward price is weighted to take into account the number of shares sold under each forward sale agreement.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, we entered into a forward sale agreement under the ATM program for the sale of 2,909,274 shares of Sempra common stock that remain subject to future settlement. At the initial forward price of $92.1546 per share, the net proceeds from this forward sale agreement if we elect full physical settlement would be approximately $268 million. At December 31, 2025, a total of 2,909,274 shares of Sempra common stock remain subject to future settlement under this forward sale agreement, which may be settled on one or more dates specified by us no later than June 30, 2026.

In the first quarter of 2025, we entered into a forward sale agreement under the ATM program for the sale of 2,087,317 shares of Sempra common stock that remain subject to future settlement. At the initial forward price of $70.6593 per share, the net proceeds from this forward sale agreement if we elect full physical settlement would be approximately $147 million. At December 31, 2025, a total of 2,087,317 shares of Sempra common stock remain subject to future settlement under this forward sale agreement, which may be settled on one or more dates specified by us no later than March 31, 2027.

We did not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to the forward sale agreements. Although we may settle the forward sale agreements entirely by the physical delivery of shares of our common stock in exchange for cash proceeds, we may, subject to certain conditions, elect cash settlement or net share settlement for all or a portion of our obligations under the forward sale agreements.

At December 31, 2025, approximately $2.6 billion of common stock remained available for sale under the ATM program.

We further discuss these activities, including the intended use of proceeds and effect on diluted EPS, in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Available Funds

Our committed lines of credit provide liquidity and support commercial paper. Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas each have a committed line of credit expiring in 2030. Sempra Infrastructure has five committed lines of credit expiring on various dates from 2026 through 2030 and an uncommitted line of credit expiring in 2026, which are included in the held for sale disposal group but remain legally accessible and are sources of available credit to Sempra Infrastructure until the planned sale of a portion of our equity interest in SI Partners closes.

Short-Term Borrowings

We use short-term debt primarily to meet liquidity requirements, fund shareholder dividends, and temporarily finance capital expenditures or acquisitions. SDG&E and SoCalGas use short-term debt primarily to meet working capital needs or to help fund event-specific costs. Commercial paper, term loans and lines of credit were our primary sources of short-term debt funding in 2025.

We discuss our short-term debt activities in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and below in “Sources and Uses of Cash.”

At December 31, 2025, Sempra expects to make interest payments on long-term debt totaling $27.0 billion, of which $1.4 billion is expected to be paid in 2026 and $25.6 billion is expected to be paid in subsequent years through 2079. These amounts exclude the disposal group that is classified as held for sale, which has expected interest payments on long-term debt totaling $3.3 billion, of which $400 million is expected to be paid in 2026 and $2.9 billion is expected to be paid in subsequent years through 2051. At December 31, 2025, SDG&E expects to make interest payments on long-term debt totaling $6.7 billion, of which $400 million is expected to be paid in 2026 and $6.3 billion is expected to be paid in subsequent years through 2054. At December 31, 2025, SoCalGas expects to make interest payments on long-term debt totaling $6.5 billion, of which $400 million is expected to be paid in 2026 and $6.1 billion is expected to be paid in subsequent years through 2055. We calculate expected interest payments using the stated interest rate for fixed-rate obligations, including floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. We calculate expected interest payments for variable-rate obligations based on forecasted rates in effect at December 31, 2025.

We discuss our long-term debt activities, including the use of proceeds on long-term debt issuances, and maturities in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Credit Ratings

The credit ratings of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas remained at investment grade levels in 2025.

ISSUER CREDIT RATINGS AT DECEMBER 31, 2025
SempraSDG&ESoCalGas
Moody’sBaa2 with a negative outlookA3 with a stable outlookA2 with a stable outlook(1)
S&PBBB+ with a negative outlookBBB+ with a stable outlookA- with a stable outlook
FitchBBB+ with a stable outlookBBB+ with a stable outlookA with a stable outlook

(1)    Reflects the senior unsecured rating, as no issuer credit rating is available.

A downgrade of Sempra’s or any of its subsidiaries’ credit ratings or rating outlooks (which occurred in January 2025 with respect to S&P’s rating outlook for Sempra and credit rating for SoCalGas and in March 2025 with respect to Moody’s rating outlook for Sempra) may, depending on the severity, result in the imposition of new financial or other burdensome covenants or a requirement for collateral to be posted in the case of certain financing arrangements and may materially and adversely affect the market prices of their equity and debt securities, the rates at which borrowings are made and commercial paper is issued, and the various fees on their outstanding credit facilities. This could make it more costly for Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra’s other subsidiaries to issue debt or equity securities, to borrow under credit facilities and to raise certain other types of financing. We provide additional information about our credit ratings at Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Sempra has agreed that, if the credit rating of 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. Oncor’s senior secured debt was rated A2, A and A at Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, at December 31, 2025.

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas have committed lines of credit to provide liquidity and to support commercial paper. Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at benchmark rates plus a margin that varies with market index rates and each borrower’s credit rating. Each facility also requires a commitment fee on available unused credit that may be impacted by each borrower’s credit rating. For example, assuming a one-notch downgrade:

▪If Sempra were to experience a ratings downgrade from its current level, the rate at which borrowings bear interest would increase by 25 bps. The commitment fee on available unused credit would also increase 5 bps.

▪If SDG&E were to experience a ratings downgrade from its current level, the rate at which borrowings bear interest would increase by 12.5 bps. The commitment fee on available unused credit would also increase 5 bps.

▪If SoCalGas were to experience a ratings downgrade from its current level, the rate at which borrowings bear interest would increase by 12.5 bps. The commitment fee on available unused credit would also increase 2.5 bps.

Sempra’s, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ credit ratings also may affect their respective credit limits related to derivative instruments, as we discuss in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Postretirement Benefits

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas have significant investments in several trusts to provide for future payments of pensions and PBOP. The trusts’ ability to make ongoing required benefit payments has not been materially adversely affected by changes in asset values, which are dependent on market fluctuations, contributions and withdrawals. However, changes in asset values or other factors in future periods (such as changes to discount rates, assumed rates of return, mortality tables and regulations) may impact funding requirements for pension and PBOP plans. Additionally, contributions to our plans are based on our funding policy, which generally limits payments from exceeding plan assets of 110% of the projected benefit obligation, which are subject to maximum income tax deduction limitations. Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas expect to contribute $240 million, $56 million and $152 million, respectively, to pension and PBOP plans in 2026 and $1.2 billion, $494 million and $590 million, respectively, in the nine years thereafter. Sempra’s amounts exclude $2 million in 2026 and $29 million in the nine years thereafter related to the disposal group that is classified as held for sale. At SDG&E and SoCalGas, funding requirements are generally recoverable in rates. We discuss our employee benefit plans and our expected contributions to those plans in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sempra California

SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ operations have historically provided relatively stable earnings and liquidity. Their future performance and liquidity will depend primarily on the ratemaking and regulatory process, environmental regulations, economic conditions, actions by legislatures, litigation and the changing energy marketplace, as well as other matters described in this report. SDG&E and SoCalGas expect that the available unused funds from their credit facilities described above, which also supports their commercial paper programs, cash flows from operations, and other incurrences of debt including issuing debt securities and obtaining term loans will continue to be adequate to fund their respective current operations and planned capital expenditures. SDG&E and SoCalGas manage their capital structures and pay dividends as approved by their respective boards of directors.

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. Although SDG&E and SoCalGas have regulatory mechanisms to recover credit losses, any delay in payments by customers impacts the timing of their respective cash flows.

As we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, changes in regulatory balancing accounts for significant costs at SDG&E and SoCalGas, particularly a change between over and undercollected status, may have a significant impact on cash flows. These changes generally represent the difference between when costs are incurred and when they are ultimately recovered or refunded in rates through billings to customers.

CPUC GRC

As we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, 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 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.

Petition for Modification. In December 2025, SDG&E and SoCalGas filed a petition for modification of the 2024 GRC, seeking to modify the post-test year mechanism for capital related costs. The petition for modification seeks increases of $55 million, $87 million and $79 million to the approved revenue requirements for SDG&E for 2025, 2026 and 2027, respectively, and increases of $86 million, $122 million and $109 million to the approved revenue requirements for SoCalGas for 2025, 2026 and 2027, respectively. There is no established timeline for the CPUC to act on this filing.

Existing and Anticipated Requests for Recovery of Specified Safety, Maintenance and Reliability Investments. 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, may result in additional amounts of authorized revenue requirement. These projects and programs include (i) the Track 2 and Track 3 requests that we describe below, (ii) the ability to file advice letters to implement the revenue requirements associated with the costs of SDG&E’s Moreno compressor station project and SoCalGas’ Honor Rancho compressor station and customer information system replacement projects, which projects were all approved by the CPUC subject to applicable cost caps, and (iii) the opportunity to file separate applications for cost recovery of mobile home park and gas integrity management programs at both SDG&E and SoCalGas, advanced metering infrastructure replacements at SDG&E, and other projects and programs.

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 $1,472 million of WMP costs incurred from 2019 through 2022 that were incremental to amounts authorized in the 2019 GRC and not otherwise addressed in the 2024 GRC FD. In January 2026, the CPUC issued an FD in SDG&E’s Track 2 request that approves recovery of $1,023 million of these requested costs, including $78 million of O&M costs and $945 million of capital costs. The Track 2 FD allows SDG&E to seek recovery in Track 3 of this proceeding of the drone inspection and repair program costs that were disallowed in the Track 2 FD.

The Track 2 request also addresses SDG&E’s requested revenue requirement for the period from 2019 through 2027 for ongoing capital-related costs for capital assets placed into service from 2019 through 2022. The FD authorizes a total Track 2 revenue requirement of $707 million for 2019 through 2027, which is $441 million lower than SDG&E’s requested revenue requirement of $1,148 million. In February 2024, the CPUC authorized an interim cost recovery mechanism that permitted SDG&E to collect in rates $194 million and $96 million of this revenue requirement in 2024 and 2025, respectively. The FD authorizes SDG&E to collect the remaining $417 million from 2026 through 2028.

2025 Form 10-K | 92

Table of Contents

2024 GRC Track 3. In April 2025, SDG&E and SoCalGas each submitted additional requests to the CPUC in the 2024 GRC, known as Track 3 requests. SDG&E submitted a request seeking review and recovery of $417 million of its WMP costs incurred in 2023 that were in addition to the amounts authorized in the 2019 GRC and not addressed in the 2024 GRC. SDG&E expects to provide supplemental testimony in its Track 3 request for drone inspection and repair program costs that were disallowed in its Track 2 request. SDG&E expects to receive a PD for its Track 3 request related to its WMP costs in the second half of 2026. Additionally, SDG&E and SoCalGas submitted a combined request seeking review and recovery of $240 million of PSEP costs incurred from 2014 through 2019 and $499 million of PSEP costs incurred from 2015 through 2020. SDG&E and SoCalGas expect to receive a PD for their Track 3 requests related to their PSEP costs in the first half of 2026.

Revenue requirements associated with the Track 3 requests have been recorded in regulatory accounts and disallowances resulting from Track 3 would be recorded as an expense on the Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas Consolidated Statements of Operations. SDG&E and SoCalGas are authorized interim rate recovery of up to 50% of the recorded PSEP regulatory account balance at the end of each year. Such interim rate recovery is subject to refund, contingent on the reasonableness review decision for their Track 3 requests.

Accounting Impact of Regulatory Disallowances. In connection with the Track 2 FD, in the fourth quarter of 2025, SDG&E recorded a charge of $651 million ($464 million after tax) in Regulatory Disallowances on the SDG&E and Sempra Consolidated Statements of Operations, of which $605 million ($432 million after tax) relates to 2019 through 2024, $41 million ($28 million after tax) relates to the first nine months of 2025, and $5 million ($4 million after tax) relates to the fourth quarter of 2025.

CPUC Cost of Capital

In December 2025, the CPUC approved an FD in SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ applications seeking to update their cost of capital, effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028, subject to the CCM. The FD maintains the current authorized capital structure with an equity layer of 52% and authorizes an ROE of 9.93% and 9.78% for SDG&E and SoCalGas, respectively. We further discuss the cost of capital and CCM in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

SDG&E

Golden Pacific Powerlink

The California ISO’s 2022-2023 Transmission Plan identified the need for 45 transmission projects throughout the state to improve resiliency and modernize the region’s energy grid. As part of the Transmission Plan, SDG&E expects to construct, own and operate a 500-kV transmission line, referred to as the Golden Pacific Powerlink, that is slated to run through SDG&E’s service territory between the existing Imperial Valley Substation and the border of San Diego and Orange Counties.

SDG&E anticipates filing for a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the CPUC in the second half of 2026 that will include proposed routing and design elements. The Transmission Plan estimates construction on the Golden Pacific Powerlink transmission line to begin in 2029, with a target in-service date of 2034, subject to obtaining necessary state and federal agency approvals and permits.

Wildfire Fund and Continuation Account

The 2019 Wildfire Legislation established the Wildfire Fund and the 2025 Wildfire Legislation established the Continuation Account (collectively, the Wildfire Legislation), which offer liquidity to reimburse wildfire-related claims incurred by participating California electric IOUs in excess of $1 billion, subject to the coverage of each fund. The Wildfire Fund and the Continuation Account, if it becomes operative, could be materially reduced, exhausted, or terminated due to claims by SDG&E or other participating IOUs related to fires caused by utility conduct or operations, or SDG&E could fail to maintain a valid annual safety certification from the OEIS or meet other requirements, any of which could result in SDG&E losing eligibility for the Wildfire Legislation’s liability cap and the other protections afforded by these funds. As a result, a fire resulting from the conduct or operations of any participating California electric IOU could have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s and SDG&E’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects, with potentially material additional exposure if SDG&E’s conduct or operations is determined to be a cause of a fire and SDG&E is found to have acted imprudently.

2019 Wildfire Legislation. We describe the 2019 Wildfire Legislation and SDG&E’s commitment to make annual shareholder contributions to the Wildfire Fund through 2028 in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

SDG&E is exposed to the risk that the participating California electric IOUs may incur third-party wildfire costs for which they will seek recovery from the Wildfire Fund with respect to wildfires that have occurred since enactment of the 2019 Wildfire Legislation in July 2019. In such a situation, SDG&E may recognize a reduction of its Wildfire Fund asset and record accelerated amortization against earnings when available coverage is reduced due to recoverable claims from any of the participating IOUs. The carrying value of SDG&E’s Wildfire Fund asset totaled $260 million at December 31, 2025.

In February 2026, a participating IOU publicly disclosed that it has received, or expects to receive, approximately $1.26 billion in aggregate reimbursements from the Wildfire Fund for eligible claims related to wildfires that occurred in 2019 and 2021. Also in February 2026, another participating IOU publicly disclosed it has received, or expects to receive, approximately $134 million in aggregate reimbursements from the Wildfire Fund for losses incurred and expected to be incurred in connection with one of the LA Fires, the cause of which remains under investigation and has not been conclusively determined. The administrator of the Wildfire Fund has confirmed that this wildfire qualifies as a “covered wildfire” for purposes of accessing the Wildfire Fund, and the scope of potential damages caused by this fire could materially reduce or exhaust the Wildfire Fund. The participating IOU stated that it is currently unable to reasonably estimate a range of potential losses associated with this event. Accordingly, SDG&E is unable to estimate a range of potential loss resulting from any reduction in available coverage from the Wildfire Fund. In addition to the risks described above, a material reduction, exhaustion or termination of the Wildfire Fund may require SDG&E to recognize a reduction to its Wildfire Fund asset up to its carrying value.

2025 Wildfire Legislation. We describe the 2025 Wildfire Legislation that was signed into law in September 2025 in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The 2025 Wildfire Legislation established, among other things, the Continuation Account, a new state-administered account with up to $18.0 billion of additional liquidity to reimburse catastrophic wildfire-related claims incurred by participating California electric IOUs, including SDG&E, if (i) the Wildfire Fund is anticipated to be depleted or (ii) a catastrophic fire igniting after September 19, 2025 and before December 31, 2028 results in claims expected to exceed $1 billion. The funds in the account would only be available for claims arising from wildfires that ignited on or after September 19, 2025. The 2025 Wildfire Legislation preserves key elements of the 2019 Wildfire Legislation, including standards and requirements for recovery of costs related to catastrophic wildfire-related claims, a liability cap in the event of a finding of imprudence by the CPUC, and continued access to wildfire claims liquidity through the new Continuation Account. All of California’s large electric IOUs, including SDG&E, have elected to participate in the Continuation Account.

If the Continuation Account becomes operative, it would be funded with a combination of $9.0 billion from ratepayer contributions and $9.0 billion from electric IOU shareholder contributions. Electric IOU shareholder contributions totaling $5.1 billion would be obtained through fixed annual contributions of $300 million from 2029 through 2045, plus an additional $3.9 billion in contingent shareholder contributions payable in annual installments of $780 million. SDG&E’s proportionate share of the aggregate shareholder contribution amount through 2045 is expected to be $387 million, comprising (i) $219.3 million of fixed contributions of $12.9 million annually for 17 years, and (ii) $167.7 million of contingent contributions of $33.5 million annually for five years.

The 2025 Wildfire Legislation also established a multi-stakeholder task force, coordinated by the Wildfire Fund’s administrator, to prepare and submit to the California legislature and Governor of California on or before April 1, 2026, a report that evaluates and sets forth recommendations on new models to complement or replace the Wildfire Fund.

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 had been triggered, requiring SDG&E to refund customers the California ISO adder retroactively from June 1, 2019.

TO6 Filing. In October 2024, SDG&E submitted its TO6 filing to the FERC and requested it to be effective January 1, 2025. SDG&E’s TO6 filing proposed, 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, subject to refund; suspended the effective date to June 1, 2025; established hearing and settlement judge procedures; and disallowed the inclusion of the California ISO adder, the last of which SDG&E has appealed. In February 2026, the settlement judge in the TO6 proceeding reported to the FERC that the participants had reached an agreement in principle on all issues in the proceeding. The parties will draft an offer of settlement to be filed with the FERC for approval.

SONGS Decommissioning

SDG&E has significant investments in the SONGS NDT to provide for future payments of nuclear decommissioning. The NDT’s ability to make ongoing required payments has not been materially or adversely affected by changes in asset values, which are dependent on market fluctuations, contributions and withdrawals. However, asset values could be materially and adversely affected by future activity in the equity and fixed income markets, and changes in the estimated decommissioning costs, or in the assumptions and judgments made by management underlying these estimates, could cause revisions to the estimated total cost associated with retiring the assets. Funding requirements are generally recoverable in rates. We discuss SDG&E’s NDT and its expected SONGS decommissioning payments in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

SDG&E has entered into PPAs and tolling agreements that are variable interests in unconsolidated entities. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

SoCalGas

Catastrophic Events Cost Recovery

In July 2025, the CPUC issued an FD that authorizes partial recovery of costs recorded in SoCalGas’ Catastrophic Event Memorandum Account. The FD authorizes the recovery of $19 million out of the requested $55 million, denying recovery of COVID-19 costs included in the Catastrophic Event Memorandum Account. In the year ended December 31, 2025, SoCalGas recorded a write-off of $36 million ($25 million after tax) in disallowed costs, comprising a $29 million reduction in Utilities: Natural Gas Revenues and a $7 million reduction in regulatory interest in Other (Expense) Income, Net, on Sempra’s and SoCalGas’ Consolidated Statements of Operations. The CPUC denied SoCalGas’ request for a rehearing of the FD.

LA Fires

The LA Fires burned in SoCalGas’ service territory. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection estimates that the Palisades and Eaton fires destroyed approximately 16,200 structures and damaged approximately 2,000 structures. Although the majority of SoCalGas’ infrastructure in the fire-affected areas is underground, these fires resulted in service disruptions, response costs and damage to some of SoCalGas’ infrastructure and third-party property. SoCalGas and Sempra are subject to pending litigation with respect to the operation of SoCalGas’ system and damage sustained as a result of the fires, which we discuss in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We cannot estimate the timing, costs, other impacts or ultimate outcome of these matters, which are inherently uncertain and subject to a number of risks that we discuss in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

SoCalGas has mechanisms available for potential recovery of costs associated with declared disasters and related litigation, including through insurance, third parties and customer rates. Failure by SoCalGas to timely recover all or a substantial portion of its costs related to the LA Fires or any conclusion that such recovery is no longer probable could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Labor Relations

Field, technical and most clerical employees at SoCalGas are represented by the Utility Workers Union of America or the International Chemical Workers Union Council. The collective bargaining agreement for these employees covering wages, hours, working conditions, and medical and other benefit plans was due to expire on September 30, 2024, but was extended by mutual agreement while SoCalGas and the unions continued negotiations. A new collective bargaining agreement was ratified on March 31, 2025, effective July 1, 2025, and is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2028.

Sempra Texas Utilities

Oncor relies on external financing as a significant source of liquidity for its capital requirements. In the event that Oncor is unable to meet its capital requirements, access sufficient capital, or raise capital on favorable terms to finance its ongoing needs, we may elect to make additional capital contributions to Oncor (as our commitments to the PUCT prohibit us from making loans to Oncor), which could be substantial and reduce the cash available to us for other purposes, increase our indebtedness and ultimately materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. Oncor’s ability to make distributions may be limited by factors such as its credit ratings, regulatory capital requirements, increases in its capital plan, debt-to-equity ratio approved by the PUCT and other restrictions and considerations. In addition, Oncor will not make distributions if a majority of Oncor’s independent directors or any minority member director determines it is in the best interests of Oncor to retain such amounts to meet expected future requirements.

Oncor

2025 Comprehensive Base Rate Review. In June 2025, Oncor filed a request for a comprehensive base rate review with the PUCT and the 210 cities in its service territory that have retained original jurisdiction over rates. The base rate review test year is based on calendar year 2024 results with certain adjustments. The base rate review includes a request for an average increase over test year adjusted annualized revenue of approximately 13%, which would result in an aggregate annualized revenue increase of approximately $834 million over current adjusted rates. The base rate review also requests a revised regulatory capital structure ratio of 55% debt to 45% equity, an authorized ROE of 10.55%, and a 4.94% authorized cost of debt. Oncor’s current authorized regulatory capital structure ratio is 57.5% debt to 42.5% equity, a 9.7% authorized ROE and 4.39% authorized cost of debt.

On January 29, 2026, Oncor filed a stipulation in the comprehensive base rate review proceeding requesting PUCT approval of an unopposed, comprehensive settlement among the parties to the proceeding. Among other things, the stipulation provides for an increase of approximately 8.8% over the adjusted annualized present revenues provided in the rate application. If approved as requested, Oncor estimates the terms of the stipulation would result in an aggregate annualized increase over those revenues of approximately $560 million. Moreover, the stipulation also provides for a revised regulatory capital structure ratio of 56.5% debt to 43.5% equity, an authorized ROE of 9.75%, and an authorized cost of debt of 4.94%.

The PUCT may choose to adopt, modify, or reject the stipulation and the proposed order included in the stipulation. Oncor expects the PUCT to issue a final order in the proceeding in the first half of 2026. New billing rates would be implemented after that final order. If the proposed new rates in the stipulation are approved as requested, Oncor will surcharge the difference between those new rates and its current rates back to January 1, 2026, pursuant to a previously approved settlement regarding interim rates.

Unified Tracker Mechanism. In June 2025, Texas House Bill 5247 was signed into law and became effective. The bill established the UTM, which allows qualifying electric utilities to apply for a single interim rate update annually through 2035 for cost recovery of certain transmission and distribution capital investments.

Oncor expects to make its first comprehensive UTM filing on or after March 16, 2026 with a view toward recovering the costs associated with eligible transmission and distribution investments that were placed into service after December 31, 2024 through December 31, 2025 and that are not currently reflected in rates. Since the June 2025 effective date of the bill, Oncor has recognized revenues and corresponding regulatory assets for recoverable costs related to UTM-eligible transmission and distribution capital investments that were placed into service from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, including depreciation expense, carrying costs on unrecovered balances and related taxes. Oncor expects to continue recognizing revenues and corresponding regulatory assets as UTM-eligible transmission and distribution capital investments are placed into service.

Sharyland Utilities

In November 2025, the PUCT approved Sharyland Utilities’ 2025 rate case, setting its total revenue requirement at $53 million, with a capital structure ratio of 59% debt to 41% equity, an ROE of 9.60%, and a long-term cost of debt of 4.52%.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

Our investment in Oncor Holdings is a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sempra Infrastructure

Sempra Infrastructure expects to fund capital expenditures, investments and operations in part with available funds, including existing credit facilities, and cash flows from operations from the Sempra Infrastructure businesses. We expect Sempra Infrastructure will require additional funding for the development and expansion of its portfolio of projects, which may be financed through a combination of funding from the parent and NCI owners, bank financing, issuances of debt, project financing, partnering in JVs and asset sales.

In 2025, 2024 and 2023, Sempra Infrastructure distributed $609 million, $297 million and $730 million, respectively, to its NCI owners, and NCI owners contributed $327 million, $1,235 million and $1,770 million, respectively, to Sempra Infrastructure.

Sempra Infrastructure is in various stages of development or construction of natural gas liquefaction projects, pipeline and terminal projects, and renewable power generation and sequestration projects, which we describe below. The successful development and/or construction of these projects is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties.

2025 Form 10-K | 96

Table of Contents

With respect to projects in development, these risks and uncertainties include a variety of factors as applicable depending on the project and many of which are outside our control, including any failure to:

▪secure binding customer commitments

▪identify suitable project and equity partners

▪obtain sufficient financing

▪reach agreement with project partners or other applicable parties to proceed

▪obtain, modify, and/or maintain permits and regulatory approvals, including LNG export applications to non-FTA countries and any applicable approvals in Mexico

▪negotiate, complete and maintain suitable commercial agreements, which may include EPC, tolling, equity acquisition, governance, LNG sales, gas supply and transportation contracts

▪reach a positive FID

With respect to projects under construction, these risks and uncertainties include, in addition to the risks described above as applicable to each project, construction delays, unforeseen design flaws, cost overruns, stakeholder relations issues and other construction-related issues.

An unfavorable outcome with respect to any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on (i) the development and construction of the applicable project, including a potential impairment of all or a substantial portion of the capital costs invested in the project to date, which could be material, and (ii) for any project that has reached a positive FID, Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. For a further discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

The descriptions below discuss several HOAs, MOUs and other non-binding development agreements with respect to Sempra Infrastructure’s various development projects. These arrangements do not commit any party to enter into definitive agreements or otherwise participate in the applicable project, and the ultimate participation by the parties remains subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors. The descriptions below also discuss certain financing arrangements for several of Sempra Infrastructure’s projects in development and under construction; we discuss these and other financing arrangements related to these projects in more detail in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

With respect to each project described below that has reached a positive FID, long-term definitive offtake agreements have been secured with third parties for the full initial offtake or generation capacity of the applicable project, other than an SPA with SI Partners for a portion of the offtake from the PA LNG Phase 2 project, which SI Partners intends to resell to third parties under offtake arrangements it plans to establish from time to time. We describe these SPAs in “Part I – Item 1. Business.”

SI Partners

As we discuss in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in September 2025, we entered into an agreement to sell a 45% equity interest in SI Partners to the KKR Partners for $9.99 billion, subject to adjustments. We expect this sale to close in the second or third quarter of 2026, subject to certain conditions, including receipt of antitrust approvals in Mexico; receipt of other third-party consents or waivers, including from certain lenders, partners and others; the absence of a material adverse effect on SI Partners; the absence of specific downgrade events under certain financing arrangements; and other customary closing conditions. As a result of satisfying all applicable criteria in September 2025, we classified SI Partners’ assets and liabilities as held for sale and ceased depreciation and amortization.

The agreement provides that, subject to adjustments described in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the purchase price will be paid to Sempra as follows:

▪$4.65 billion in cash at closing;

▪$4.14 billion plus interest compounded quarterly at 7.5% per annum (totaling $4.72 billion with principal and accrued interest unless paid early) due December 31, 2027 under instruments backed by equity commitment letters; and

▪$1.2 billion plus interest compounded quarterly at 8.5% per annum before January 1, 2031 and 10.0% per annum thereafter (totaling $2.29 billion with principal and accrued interest unless paid early) due seven years and 91 days after closing under promissory notes.

Subject to closing, the KKR Partners will own 65% of SI Partners, Sempra will retain a 25% interest and ADIA will retain a 10% interest. We will then deconsolidate SI Partners and account for our 25% interest in SI Partners under the equity method within the existing Sempra Infrastructure segment. For a description of Sempra’s December 31, 2025 and projected post-sale ownership interest in certain Sempra Infrastructure facilities and projects, see “Part I – Item 1. Business.”

2025 Form 10-K | 97

Table of Contents

The rights and obligations of the partners of SI Partners are governed by a limited partnership agreement, which will be amended and restated at closing. This limited partnership agreement contains certain provisions on project funding and distributions that could impact Sempra’s results of operations and cash flows. For instance, the existing limited partnership agreement provides for certain priority distributions to one or more of the minority partners if certain cash flow or rate of return performance levels are not achieved or a specified project that reaches a positive FID does not meet certain other conditions by certain dates. In addition, the post-closing limited partnership agreement provides that Sempra will continue to have substantially similar funding obligations as it has before the sale for cost overruns in the ECA LNG Phase 1 project and the PA LNG Phase 1 project. For more information about the terms of the limited partnership agreement, see “Part I – Item 1. Business” and Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

LNG

Cameron LNG Phase 2 Project. Cameron LNG JV is developing a proposed expansion project that would add one electric drive liquefaction train with an expected maximum production capacity of approximately 6.75 Mtpa and would increase the production capacity of the existing three trains at the Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility by up to approximately 1 Mtpa through debottlenecking activities. The Cameron LNG JV site can accommodate additional trains beyond the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project.

Cameron LNG JV has received major permits and FTA and non-FTA approvals associated with the potential expansion. In November 2025, we received approval from the FERC to extend the deadline for construction authorization until March 2033. The non-FTA approval for the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project includes, among other things, a May 2026 deadline to commence commercial exports. In October 2025, we filed a request with the DOE to extend that deadline to the first quarter of 2033.

SI Partners and the other Cameron LNG JV members, namely affiliates of TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Japan LNG Investment, LLC, have entered into a non-binding HOA for the potential development of the Cameron LNG Phase 2 project. The non-binding HOA provides a commercial framework for the proposed project, including the contemplated allocation to SI Partners of 50.2% of the fourth train production capacity and 25% of the debottlenecking capacity from the project under tolling agreements. The non-binding HOA contemplates the remaining capacity to be allocated equally to the existing Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility customers.

Entergy Louisiana, LLC, a subsidiary of Entergy Corporation, and Cameron LNG JV have an electricity service agreement (and related ancillary agreements) for the supply to Cameron LNG JV of up to 950 MW of power from renewable sources in Louisiana.

Under the Cameron LNG JV equity agreements, the expansion of the project requires the unanimous consent of all the members, including with respect to the equity investment obligation of each member. Expansion of the Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility beyond the first three trains is also subject to certain restrictions and conditions under the JV project financing agreements, including, among others, scope restrictions on expansion of the project unless appropriate prior consent is obtained from the existing project lenders. An FID remains subject to, among other things, securing these consents of the members and project lenders, satisfactory conclusion on certain ongoing engineering processes and selection of an EPC contractor, negotiation and finalization of definitive offtake agreements and completion of all related financing and permitting activities.

ECA LNG Phase 1 Project. ECA LNG Phase 1 is constructing a one-train natural gas liquefaction facility at the site of SI Partners’ existing ECA Regas Facility with a nameplate capacity of 3.25 Mtpa and an initial offtake capacity of 2.5 Mtpa. We do not expect the construction or operation of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project to disrupt operations at the ECA Regas Facility.

We received authorizations from the DOE to export U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and to re-export LNG to non-FTA countries from the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. In September 2025, we submitted a filing with the DOE to extend the construction deadline associated with our non-FTA permits until the end of summer 2026.

We have an EPC contract with TP Oil & Gas Mexico, S. De R.L. De C.V., an affiliate of Technip Energies N.V., to construct the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. We estimate the total price of the EPC contract to be approximately $1.6 billion, with capital expenditures of approximately $2.5 billion including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual cost of the EPC contract and the actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates. The ECA LNG Phase 1 project achieved mechanical completion in December 2025, and we expect the project to produce LNG cargoes for sale in the spring of 2026 and sales under the long-term SPAs to begin shortly after substantial completion when the facility commences commercial operations, which is targeted in the summer of 2026. Reaching substantial completion under the EPC contract is subject to various milestones, including achieving certain performance tests and functionality.

2025 Form 10-K | 98

Table of Contents

ECA LNG Phase 1’s customers have a termination right under their SPAs if the ECA LNG Phase 1 project does not commence commercial operations under the SPAs by February 24, 2026, subject to certain additional conditions. As of February 26, 2026, no customers have given notice of their intent to terminate the SPAs.

ECA LNG Phase 1 has a loan agreement with a borrowing capacity of $1.5 billion that matures in December 2027. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, of borrowings were outstanding under the loan agreement. Proceeds from the loan are being used to finance the cost of construction of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project.

With respect to the ECA LNG Phase 1 project and the ECA LNG Phase 2 project that we discuss below, recent and proposed changes to the Mexican Constitution and certain laws in Mexico and an unfavorable resolution of a land dispute and permit challenges, in each case that we discuss in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, could have a material adverse effect on the development and construction of these projects.

ECA LNG Phase 2 Project. SI Partners is developing a second, large-scale natural gas liquefaction project at the site of its existing ECA Regas Facility in Baja California, Mexico. We expect the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project to be comprised of multiple trains and one additional LNG storage tank and produce approximately 12 Mtpa of export capacity. We expect that future construction of the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project would conflict with the current operations at the ECA Regas Facility, which has a firm storage and nitrogen injection service agreement that expires in May 2028, to the extent this agreement has not expired or has not been earlier terminated at the time of such construction.

We received authorizations from the DOE to export U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and to re-export LNG to non-FTA countries from the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project. In February 2026, the DOE extended the construction deadline associated with the project to December 2029.

We have non-binding MOUs and/or HOAs that provide a framework for potential offtake of LNG from the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project and potential acquisition of equity interests in ECA LNG Phase 2.

PA LNG Phase 1 Project. SI Partners is constructing a natural gas liquefaction project on a greenfield site that it owns in the vicinity of Port Arthur, Texas, located along the Sabine-Neches waterway. The PA LNG Phase 1 project will consist of two liquefaction trains, two LNG storage tanks, a marine berth and associated loading facilities and related infrastructure necessary to provide liquefaction services with a nameplate capacity of approximately 13 Mtpa and an initial offtake capacity of approximately 10.5 Mtpa.

SI Partners has received authorizations from the DOE that permit the export of LNG to be produced from the PA LNG Phase 1 project to all current and future FTA and non-FTA countries, and from the FERC for the siting, construction and operation of the PA LNG Phase 1 project.

We have an EPC contract with Bechtel to construct the PA LNG Phase 1 project, which has an estimated price of approximately $10.8 billion, with capital expenditures for the project of approximately $13 billion including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual cost of the EPC contract and the actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates. The first train of the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project remains on schedule, and we continue to expect the first and second trains to commence commercial operations at or near the end of 2027 and in 2028, respectively.

Port Arthur LNG I has a seven-year term loan facility for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.8 billion and an initial working capital facility for up to $200 million, each of which matures in March 2030. At December 31, 2025, $3.2 billion of borrowings were outstanding and previous borrowings of $983 million have been repaid and cannot be reborrowed under the term loan facility agreement. Proceeds from the loan are being used to finance the cost of construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project.

As we discuss in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, SI Partners and ConocoPhillips have provided guarantees relating to their respective affiliate’s commitment to make its pro rata equity share of capital contributions to fund 110% of the development budget of the PA LNG Phase 1 project, in an aggregate amount of up to $9.0 billion. SI Partners’ guarantee covers 70% of this amount plus enforcement costs of its guarantee. As of December 31, 2025, an aggregate amount of $2.7 billion has been paid by SI Partners’ subsidiary in satisfaction of its commitment to fund its portion of the development budget of the PA LNG Phase 1 project.

As we discuss in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in April 2025, an incident occurred at the site of the PA LNG Phase 1 project that resulted in the deaths of three Bechtel employees and injuries to two Bechtel employees. OSHA opened inspections with respect to Bechtel and SI Partners but has released the site. OSHA’s inspection of SI Partners concluded without the issuance of citations to SI Partners. Bechtel is continuing construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. As of February 19, 2026, there are two pending lawsuits filed by 17 plaintiffs related to the incident. Bechtel is providing indemnity pursuant to the terms of Port Arthur LNG I’s EPC contract.

Table of Contents

PA LNG Phase 2 Project. Since reaching a positive FID in September 2025, SI Partners has commenced construction of a second phase of the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project that we expect will be a similar size to the PA LNG Phase 1 project. The PA LNG Phase 2 project will consist of two liquefaction trains, one LNG storage tank, and associated facilities with a nameplate capacity of approximately 13 Mtpa.

SI Partners has received authorizations from the DOE that permit the export of LNG to be produced from the PA LNG Phase 2 project to all current and future FTA and non-FTA countries, and from the FERC for the siting, construction and operation of the PA LNG Phase 2 project.

In addition to the definitive SPAs that we discuss in “Part I – Item 1. Business,” SI Partners has a non-binding HOA with Aramco International Gas Holding Co B.V. contemplating a 20-year SPA for 5 Mtpa of LNG offtake and a 25% participation in project-level equity from the PA LNG Phase 2 project. The HOA will terminate in March 2026.

We have an EPC contract with Bechtel to construct the PA LNG Phase 2 project, which has an estimated price of approximately $9.2 billion, with capital expenditures of approximately $14 billion, including, among other items, project contingency and a $1.9 billion true-up payment to the PA LNG Phase 1 project to acquire a 50% interest in the shared common facilities. The actual cost of the EPC contract and the actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates. We expect the third and fourth trains of the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project to commence commercial operations in 2030 and 2031, respectively.

As we discuss in Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in September 2025, PA2 JVCo issued 49.9% of its equity interests to Blackstone for $3.4 billion in cash at closing and a commitment to fund an additional $3.6 billion of capital contributions on a pre-determined funding schedule whereby Blackstone’s capital contributions are scheduled prior to SI Partners’ capital contributions. SI Partners holds the remaining 50.1% of equity interests in PA2 JVCo and has committed to fund up to $7.8 billion to PA2 JVCo to support its share of the budgeted PA LNG Phase 2 project construction costs. SI Partners will continue to consolidate PA2 JVCo and direct the activities related to the construction and future operation and maintenance of the PA LNG Phase 2 project. Blackstone’s equity interest is subject to redemption and exit rights that are outside the control of SI Partners and Blackstone. As a result, we account for Blackstone’s NCI as being contingently redeemable, which is presented as CRNCI in Sempra’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

To secure gas supply for the PA LNG Phase 2 project, SI Partners entered into a natural gas transportation agreement with a third-party pipeline developer. The transportation capacity commitment is subject to completion of pipeline construction by a third-party developer that is expected to occur by early 2029. SI Partners holds a contractual option to acquire the third party’s interest in the pipeline if certain construction milestones are not met, which acquisition would release SI Partners from the associated capacity commitment.

Vista Pacifico LNG Project. In partnership with the CFE, SI Partners was developing the Vista Pacifico LNG project, a mid-scale natural gas liquefaction export facility proposed to be located in the vicinity of the Port of Topolobampo in Sinaloa, Mexico. Due to a change in SI Partners’ and the CFE’s respective priorities, in December 2025, we agreed to terminate the existing development agreement.

Asset and Supply Optimization. As we discuss in “Part II – Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” SI Partners enters into hedging transactions to help mitigate commodity price risk and optimize the value of its LNG, natural gas pipelines and storage, and power-generating assets. Some of these derivatives that we use as economic hedges do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting, or hedge accounting is not elected, and as a result, the changes in fair value of these derivatives are recorded in earnings. Consequently, significant changes in commodity prices have in the past and could in the future result in earnings volatility, which may be material, as the economic offset of these derivatives may not be recorded at fair value.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. Our investment in Cameron LNG JV is a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2025, SI Partners entered into a credit support agreement related to a customer’s secured borrowing for repayment of its past due account balance, which constitutes a guarantee, for the benefit of a third-party financial institution with a maximum exposure to loss of $85 million. The guarantee will terminate in May 2026. We discuss this guarantee in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2021, Sempra provided a promissory note, which constitutes a guarantee for the benefit of Cameron LNG JV with a maximum exposure to loss of $165 million. 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 from the SDSRA. We discuss this guarantee in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

In July 2020, Sempra entered into the Support Agreement, which contains a guarantee and represents a variable interest, for the benefit of CFIN with a maximum exposure to loss of $979 million. The guarantee will terminate upon full repayment of the guaranteed debt by 2039, including repayment following an event in which the guaranteed debt is put to Sempra. We discuss this guarantee in Notes 1 and 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Energy Networks

Ecogas. As we discuss in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in December 2025, we entered into an agreement to sell Ecogas to Gas Natural del Noroeste S.A. de C.V. for 9.0 billion Mexican pesos (approximately $500 million U.S. dollar-equivalent at December 31, 2025), subject to adjustments. In the first quarter of 2026, we entered into contingent foreign currency hedges that are designed to lock in the exchange rate associated with the anticipated after-tax net proceeds. We expect to complete the sale in the second or third quarter of 2026, subject to closing conditions. As a result of satisfying all applicable criteria in June 2025, we classified Ecogas’ assets and liabilities as held for sale and ceased depreciation and amortization.

Louisiana Storage. SI Partners is constructing Louisiana Storage, a 12.5-Bcf salt dome natural gas storage facility to support the PA LNG Phase 1 project. The construction includes an 11-mile pipeline that will connect to the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector. We estimate the capital expenditures for the project will be approximately $400 million, including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual amount of capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates. We expect Louisiana Storage to be ready for service in time to support the needs of the PA LNG Phase 1 project.

Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector. SI Partners is constructing the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector, a 72-mile pipeline connecting the PA LNG Phase 1 project to Gillis, Louisiana.

The FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector, which will be used to supply feed gas to the PA LNG Phase 1 project. Sempra Infrastructure received FERC approval to implement construction process enhancements and minor modifications to several discrete sections of the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector. These modifications are intended to decrease environmental impacts, accommodate landowner routing requests and enhance construction procedures.

We estimate the capital expenditures for the project will be approximately $1 billion, including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual amount of capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates. The Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector achieved mechanical completion in January 2026, and we expect it to be ready for service ahead of the PA LNG Phase 1 project’s gas requirements.

Sonora Pipeline. Sempra Infrastructure’s Sonora natural gas pipeline consists of two 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.

In September 2019, Sempra Infrastructure and the CFE reached an agreement to modify the tariff structure and extend the term of the contract by 10 years. Under the revised agreement, the CFE will resume making payments only when the damaged section of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline is back in service.

In December 2025, Sempra Infrastructure and the CFE further amended their transportation services agreement to re-route the portion of the pipeline that is in the Yaqui territory, whereby the CFE has agreed to reimburse Sempra Infrastructure for the re-routing costs with a new tariff and requires the pipeline to be back in service no later than July 2029. 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. Additionally, in December 2025, Sempra Infrastructure and the CFE entered into a non-binding agreement for potential equity participation in the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline.

We estimate the capital expenditures for re-routing the pipeline will be approximately $260 million, including capitalized interest and project contingency. The actual amount of capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates.

Table of Contents

The Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline currently constitutes a Sole Risk Project under the terms of the SI Partners limited partnership agreement, which means that Sempra Infrastructure holds a 100% interest in the project. Sole Risk Projects are separated from other SI Partners projects and are conducted at Sempra’s sole cost, expense and liability and Sempra Infrastructure receives, through the acquisition of Sole Risk Interests, any economic and other benefits from such projects. The Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline will continue to be owned by and a Sole Risk Project of Sempra after closing the planned sale of a portion of our equity interest in SI Partners, which we discuss in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Any proceeds from a sale of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline would be split between Sempra (90%) and ADIA (10%), subject to adjustments.

At December 31, 2025, Sempra Infrastructure had $389 million in PP&E, net, related to the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline, which could be subject to impairment if, among other things, 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, which in each case could have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Low Carbon Solutions

Cimarrón Wind. The Cimarrón Wind project, an approximately 320-MW wind generation facility in Baja California, Mexico, commenced energy generation in October 2025 during its commissioning phase. We estimate the capital expenditures for the project will be approximately $550 million, including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual amount of capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates. We expect commercial operations to commence in the first quarter of 2026.

Hackberry Carbon Sequestration Project. SI Partners is developing the potential Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project near Hackberry, Louisiana, together with TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation. This proposed project is designed to permanently sequester carbon dioxide from the Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility, the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project and potentially other sources. In April 2025, the Louisiana Department of Conservation and Energy (LDC&E), formally known as the Louisiana Department of Energy and Natural Resources, issued a draft Class VI carbon injection well construction permit and held the required public hearing. In September 2025, LDC&E issued the final permit to construct a Class VI carbon injection well.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

See Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” for discussions of the following legal and regulatory matters affecting our operations in Mexico and risks associated with Mexican laws, policies and government influence:

▪Energía Costa Azul

◦Land Disputes

◦Environmental and Social Impact Permits

▪Mexican Government Influence on Economic and Energy Matters

One or more unfavorable conclusions on these land disputes, environmental and social impact permit challenges, and regulatory and other actions by the Mexican government could materially adversely affect our existing natural gas regasification operations and proposed natural gas liquefaction projects at the site of the ECA Regas Facility and have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Capital Expenditures for PP&E

We invested most of our capital expenditures at Sempra Infrastructure, primarily for LNG projects in development and under construction, and at Sempra California, primarily for transmission and distribution improvements, including pipeline and wildfire safety.

Future Capital Expenditures for PP&E and Investments

The amounts and timing of capital expenditures for PP&E and certain investments are generally subject to approvals by various regulatory and other governmental and environmental bodies, including the CPUC, the FERC and the PUCT, and various other factors described in this MD&A and in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.” We expect to make capital expenditures for PP&E, including capitalized interest and AFUDC related to debt, and investments of approximately $8.6 billion in 2026 and $38.7 billion during the five-year period covered by our 2026 through 2030 capital expenditures plan, as summarized by segment in the following table.

FUTURE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES FOR PP&E AND INVESTMENTS
(Dollars in millions)

Sempra Texas Utilities2,70011,100
Sempra Infrastructure(2)1,6004,100
Total Sempra$8,600$38,700

(1)    Includes expected future capital expenditures of $2,200 and $2,100 at SDG&E and SoCalGas, respectively, for the year ending December 31, 2026 and $12,900 and $10,600 at SDG&E and SoCalGas, respectively, during the period covered by their 2026 through 2030 capital expenditures plans.

(2)    Sempra's Capital Plan assumes Sempra's 70% consolidated ownership of SI Partners for the first three months of 2026 and 25% thereafter, which represents Sempra's remaining interest under the equity method upon completion of the sale of a 45% equity interest in SI Partners.

We expect the majority of our capital expenditures for PP&E and investments in 2026 will relate to investments in transmission and distribution safety and reliability at our regulated public utilities and construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project and PA LNG Phase 2 project at Sempra Infrastructure.

When (i) including Sempra’s proportionate ownership interest in expected capital expenditures for PP&E at unconsolidated equity method investees while excluding Sempra’s expected capital contributions to those unconsolidated equity method investees and (ii) excluding NCI’s proportionate ownership interest in expected capital expenditures for PP&E at Sempra and at unconsolidated equity method investees, we expect capital expenditures for PP&E from 2026 through 2030 to total $64.9 billion.

Oncor announced a new five-year base capital expenditures plan from 2026 through 2030 of approximately $47.5 billion, which is 32% higher than Oncor’s 2025 through 2029 base capital expenditures plan. This increase is largely attributable to Oncor’s targeted completion by December 31, 2030 of its Permian Basin Reliability Plan projects, as well as other new transmission projects and distribution upgrades. Oncor’s base capital expenditures plan does not include certain incremental capital expenditure opportunities, including various transmission and customer interconnection projects, that may be completed over the 2026 through 2030 period and could potentially increase its five-year base capital expenditures plan by as much as $10.0 billion over that period. Changes in Oncor’s capital expenditures plan could result in corresponding changes to our projected capital expenditures for PP&E and investments based on our ownership interest in Oncor.

Periodically, we review our construction, investment and financing programs and revise them in response to changes in regulation, economic conditions, competition, customer growth, inflation, customer rates, the cost and availability of capital, safety and environmental requirements, and other relevant factors.

Our level of capital expenditures for PP&E and investments in the next few years may differ substantially from our estimates and will depend on, among other things, the cost and availability of financing, regulatory approvals, changes in tax law and business opportunities providing desirable rates of return, among various other factors described in this MD&A and in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.” We aim to finance our capital expenditures for PP&E and investments in a manner that will maintain our investment-grade credit ratings and capital structure, but we may not be able to do so.

Rate Base

For SDG&E and SoCalGas, rate base is the value of assets on which SDG&E and SoCalGas are permitted to earn a specified rate of return in accordance with rules set by regulatory agencies, including the CPUC and the FERC (for SDG&E), which is calculated using a 13-month average pursuant to CPUC methodology as adopted in rate-setting proceedings. The following table summarizes the weighted-average rate base for SDG&E and SoCalGas for the last three years.

WEIGHTED-AVERAGE RATE BASE
(Dollars in millions)
202520242023
SDG&E$18,019$16,842$15,220
SoCalGas13,98512,44611,671

The increase in weighted-average rate base reflects the significant capital investments that SDG&E and SoCalGas have made in transmission and distribution safety and reliability. We expect the weighted-average rate base to continue to increase in 2026 and beyond based on our expected capital investments.

For Oncor, rate base represents the total invested capital, as adjusted in accordance with PUCT rules, at the end of the previous calendar year as reported in the Earnings Monitoring Report filed with the PUCT on an annual basis. Oncor’s regulatory rate base as reported in these filings as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $26.6 billion and $23.1 billion, respectively. As calculated on a similar basis, its estimated regulatory rate base at December 31, 2025 was $31.5 billion. The increase in rate base reflects the significant capital investments that Oncor has made in its transmission and distribution system, and we expect rate base to continue to increase in 2026 and beyond based on Oncor’s expected capital investments.

DIVIDENDS PER SHARE ON SEMPRA COMMON STOCK
(As approved by our board of directors)

On February 25, 2026, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.6575 per share on our common stock payable on April 15, 2026.

All declarations of dividends on our common stock are made at the discretion of the board of directors. While we view dividends as an integral component of shareholder return, the amount of future dividends will depend on earnings, cash flows, financial and legal requirements, and other relevant factors at that time. As a result, Sempra’s dividends on common stock declared on a historical basis may not be indicative of future declarations.

SDG&E

In 2025, 2024 and 2023, SDG&E paid common stock dividends to Enova Corporation and Enova Corporation paid corresponding dividends to Sempra of $200 million, $225 million and $100 million, respectively. SDG&E’s dividends on common stock declared on an annual historical basis may not be indicative of future declarations.

Enova Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra, owns all of SDG&E’s outstanding common stock. Accordingly, dividends paid by SDG&E to Enova Corporation and dividends paid by Enova Corporation to Sempra are eliminated in Sempra’s consolidated financial statements.

SoCalGas

In 2025, 2024 and 2023, SoCalGas paid common stock dividends to Pacific Enterprises and Pacific Enterprises paid corresponding dividends to Sempra of $200 million, $200 million and $100 million, respectively. SoCalGas’ dividends on common stock declared on an annual historical basis may not be indicative of future declarations.

Pacific Enterprises, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra, owns all of SoCalGas’ outstanding common stock. Accordingly, dividends paid by SoCalGas to Pacific Enterprises and dividends paid by Pacific Enterprises to Sempra are eliminated in Sempra’s consolidated financial statements.

Dividend Restrictions

The board of directors for each of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas has the discretion to determine whether to declare and, if declared, the amount of any dividends by each such entity. The CPUC’s regulation of SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ capital structures limits the amounts that are available for loans and dividends to Sempra. At December 31, 2025, based on these regulations, Sempra could have received combined loans and dividends of approximately $868 million from SDG&E and $350 million from SoCalGas.

We provide additional information about dividend restrictions in “Restricted Net Assets” in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Capitalization

Our total capitalization, which is the sum of total debt and equity, and our debt-to-capitalization ratio, which is calculated as total debt as a percentage of total capitalization, was as follows:

TOTAL CAPITALIZATION AND DEBT-TO-CAPITALIZATION RATIO
(Dollars in millions)

Sempra81,969$73,63653%49%
SDG&E22,34321,0415150
SoCalGas17,88716,6025151

In 2025 compared to 2024, Sempra’s total capitalization increased by $8.3 billion (11%) due to:

▪increase in long-term debt, which includes long-term debt that is within the disposal group that is classified as held for sale

▪increase in equity primarily from contributions from CRNCI and NCI, as well as comprehensive income exceeding dividends

Offset by:

▪redemption of preferred stock and distributions to NCI

In 2025 compared to 2024, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ total capitalization increased by $1.3 billion (6%) and $1.3 billion (8%), respectively, due to increases in debt and increases in equity from comprehensive income exceeding dividends.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Management views the accounting estimates that we describe below as critical because their application is the most relevant, judgmental and/or material to our financial position and results of operations, and/or because they require the use of material judgments and estimates. We discuss these critical accounting estimates, which are material to our financial statements with the Audit Committee of Sempra’s board of directors.

REGULATORY ACCOUNTING

Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas

As regulated entities, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ customer rates, as set and monitored by regulators, are designed to recover the cost of providing service and to provide the opportunity to realize their authorized rates of return on their investments. SDG&E and SoCalGas assess probabilities of future rate recovery associated with regulatory account balances at the end of each reporting period and whenever new and/or unusual events occur, such as:

▪changes in the regulatory and political environment or the utility’s competitive position

▪issuance of a regulatory commission order

▪passage of new legislation

To the extent that circumstances associated with regulatory balances change, the regulatory balances are evaluated and adjusted if appropriate.

Significant management judgment is required to evaluate the anticipated recovery of regulatory assets and revenues subject to refund, as well as the existence and amount of regulatory liabilities. Adverse regulatory or legislative actions could materially impact the amounts of our regulatory assets and liabilities and could materially adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. Specifically, if future recovery of costs ceases to be probable, all or part of the associated regulatory assets would need to be written off against current period earnings, or adverse regulatory or legislative actions could give rise to material new or higher regulatory liabilities. We discuss details of SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ regulatory assets and liabilities and additional factors that management considers when assessing probabilities associated with regulatory balances in Notes 1, 4, 15 and 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

INCOME TAXES

Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas

Our income tax expense and related balance sheet amounts involve significant management judgments and estimates. Amounts of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, as well as current and noncurrent accruals, involve judgments and estimates of the timing and probability of recognition of income and deductions by taxing authorities. When we evaluate the anticipated resolution of income tax issues, we consider:

▪ past resolutions of the same issue or similar issues

▪ the status of any income tax examination in progress

▪ positions taken by taxing authorities with other taxpayers with similar issues

The likelihood of deferred income tax recovery is based on analyses of the deferred income tax assets and our expectation of future taxable income, based on our strategic planning. Should a change in facts or circumstances lead to a change in judgment about the ultimate realizability of a deferred tax asset, we would record or adjust the related valuation allowance in the period that the change in facts and circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding increase or decrease in the provision for income taxes.

Actual income taxes could vary from estimated amounts because of:

▪ future impacts of various items, including changes in tax laws, regulations, interpretations and rulings

▪ our financial condition in future periods

▪ the resolution of various income tax issues between us and taxing and regulatory authorities

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 results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We discuss these matters and additional information related to accounting for income taxes, including uncertainty in income taxes, in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

PENSION AND PBOP PLANS

Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas

To measure our pension and PBOP obligations, costs and liabilities, we rely on several assumptions. We consider current market conditions, including interest rates, in making these assumptions. We review these assumptions annually and update when appropriate.

The critical assumptions used to develop the required estimates include the following key factors:

▪discount rates

▪expected return on plan assets

▪health care cost trend rates

▪interest crediting rate on cash balance accounts

▪mortality rate

▪rate of compensation increases

▪termination and retirement rates

▪utilization of postretirement welfare benefits

▪payout elections (lump sum or annuity)

▪lump sum interest rates

The actuarial assumptions we use may differ materially from actual results due to:

▪return on plan assets

▪changing market and economic conditions

▪higher or lower withdrawal rates

▪longer or shorter participant life spans

▪more or fewer lump sum versus annuity payout elections made by plan participants

▪higher or lower retirement rates

Table of Contents

Changes in the estimated costs or timing of pension and PBOP, or the assumptions and judgments used by management underlying these estimates (primarily the discount rate and expected return on plan assets), as well as changes in the circumstances associated with rate recovery, could have a material effect on the recorded expenses and liabilities. The following tables summarize the impact to our projected benefit obligation for pension and accumulated benefit obligation for PBOP at December 31, 2025, and 2025 net periodic benefit costs, in each case if the discount rate or expected return on plan assets were changed by 1%.

For SDG&E and SoCalGas plans, the effects of the assumptions on earnings are expected to be recovered in rates and therefore are offset in regulatory accounts. We provide details of our pension and PBOP plans in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

SONGS ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

Sempra, SDG&E

SDG&E’s legal AROs related to the decommissioning of SONGS are estimated based on a site-specific study performed no less than every three years. The estimate of the obligations includes:

▪ estimated decommissioning costs, including labor, equipment, material and other disposal costs

▪ inflation adjustment applied to estimated cash flows

▪ discount rate based on a credit-adjusted risk-free rate

▪ actual decommissioning costs, progress to date and expected duration of decommissioning activities

SDG&E’s nuclear decommissioning expenses are subject to rate recovery and, therefore, rate-making accounting treatment is applied to SDG&E’s nuclear decommissioning activities. SDG&E recognizes a regulatory asset, or liability, to the extent that its SONGS ARO exceeds, or is less than, the amount collected from customers and the amount earned in SDG&E’s NDT.

SDG&E’s ARO related to the decommissioning of SONGS was $446 million as of December 31, 2025, based on the decommissioning cost study prepared in 2024. Changes in the estimated costs, execution strategy or timing of decommissioning, or in the assumptions and judgments by management underlying these estimates, could cause material revisions to the estimated total cost to decommission this facility, which could have a material effect on the recorded liability.

The following table illustrates the increase to SDG&E’s and Sempra’s ARO liability if the cost escalation rate was adjusted while leaving all other assumptions constant:

The increase in the ARO liability driven by an increase in the cost escalation rate would result in a decrease in the regulatory liability for recoveries in excess of ARO liabilities. We provide additional detail in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Sempra

Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable, we consider if the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. If so, we estimate the fair value of the asset to determine the extent to which carrying value exceeds fair value. For such an estimate, we may consider data from multiple valuation methods, including data from market participants. We exercise judgment to estimate the future cash flows and the useful life of a long-lived asset and to determine our intent to use the asset. Our intent to use or dispose of a long-lived asset is subject to re-evaluation and can change over time. If such an impairment test is required, the fair value of a long-lived asset can vary if differing estimates and assumptions are used in the valuation techniques applied as indicated by changing market or other conditions. Critical assumptions that affect our estimates of fair value may include:

▪consideration of market transactions

▪future cash flows

▪the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate, including the impacts of country risk and entity risk

We discuss impairment of long-lived assets in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF GOODWILL

Sempra

When determining if goodwill is impaired, the fair value of the reporting unit can vary if differing estimates and assumptions are used in the valuation techniques applied as indicated by changing market or other conditions. As a result, recognizing a goodwill impairment may or may not be required. When we perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test, we exercise judgment to develop estimates of the fair value of the reporting unit and compare that to its carrying value. Our fair value estimates are developed from the perspective of a knowledgeable market participant. We consider observable transactions in the marketplace for similar investments, if available, as well as an income-based approach such as a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis may be based directly on anticipated future revenues and expenses and may be performed based on free cash flows generated within the reporting unit. Critical assumptions that affect our estimates of fair value may include:

▪consideration of market transactions

▪future cash flows

▪projected revenue and expense growth rates

▪the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate, including the impacts of country risk, customer creditworthiness and entity risk

At December 31, 2025, goodwill is classified as held for sale. In 2025, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test and determined that the estimated fair values of our reporting units in Mexico to which goodwill was allocated were substantially above their respective carrying values as of October 1, our annual goodwill impairment testing date. Upon performing a qualitative analysis as of October 1, 2024, we determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of such reporting units was less than their respective carrying values. Our goodwill impairment test is determined based on assumptions existing as of that point in time. Changes in the business (such as loss of future cash flows from customer disputes, renegotiation of customer contracts or the macroeconomic environment, including rising interest rates) may result in us having to perform an interim goodwill impairment test, which could result in an impairment of our goodwill.

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 Consolidated Financial Statements.

In 2024 compared to 2023, the increase in earnings of $99 million (6%) to $1.8 billion was primarily due to:

▪$217 million higher income tax benefits primarily from flow-through items, including higher gas repairs tax benefits, offset by $25 million related to income tax benefits in 2023 from previously unrecognized income tax benefits pertaining to gas repairs expenditures

▪$12 million higher electric transmission margin

▪$12 million higher AFUDC equity

▪$11 million higher net regulatory interest income

▪$9 million higher CPUC base operating margin authorized for 2024, net of operating expenses, including higher authorized cost of capital

Offset by:

▪$89 million charge in 2024 for amounts relating to the FERC order finding that the TO5 adder refund provision has been triggered, requiring SDG&E to refund customers the California ISO adder retroactively from June 1, 2019, which we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

▪$60 million higher net interest expense

▪$15 million impairment from disallowed capital costs in the 2024 GRC FD

Sempra Texas Utilities

In 2024 compared to 2023, the increase in earnings of $87 million (13%) to $781 million was primarily due to higher equity earnings from Oncor Holdings driven by:

▪overall higher revenues primarily attributable to:

◦rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital

◦updates to transmission billing units

◦customer growth

◦base rates implemented in May 2023

Offset by:

◦lower customer consumption primarily attributable to weather

▪write-off of rate base disallowances in 2023 resulting from the PUCT’s final order in Oncor’s comprehensive base rate review

Offset by:

▪higher interest expense and depreciation expense attributable to increases in invested capital

▪higher O&M

2024 Form 10-K | 68

Table of Contents

Sempra Infrastructure

In 2024 compared to 2023, the increase in earnings of $34 million (4%) to $911 million was primarily due to:

▪$499 million favorable impact from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico, comprised of a $263 million favorable impact in 2024 compared to a $236 million unfavorable impact in 2023

▪$61 million favorable impact from $19 million net interest income in 2024 compared to $42 million net interest expense in 2023 primarily due to higher capitalization of interest expense in 2024 from projects under construction

▪$47 million favorable impact in interest expense from $30 million unrealized gains in 2024 compared to $17 million unrealized losses in 2023 on interest rate swaps related to the PA LNG Phase 1 project

▪$21 million favorable impact from $20 million income tax benefit in 2024 compared to $1 million income tax expense in 2023 primarily from outside basis differences and remeasurement of deferred taxes

Offset by:

▪$463 million from asset and supply optimization driven by unrealized losses in 2024 compared to unrealized gains in 2023 on commodity derivatives due to changes in natural gas prices and lower LNG diversion fees

▪$79 million from the transportation business driven by lower equity earnings and revenues, including the cumulative impact of new tariffs going into effect in June 2023 for certain pipelines in Mexico and a customer’s early termination of firm transportation agreements in 2023

▪$15 million from the renewables business driven by lower volumes from wind power generation assets

▪$14 million from lower revenues in 2024 offset by higher O&M in 2023 from a provision for expected credit losses on a customer’s past due receivable balance

Parent and Other

In 2024 compared to 2023, the increase in losses of $433 million to $721 million was primarily due to:

▪$330 million income tax expense in 2024 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

▪$32 million from higher net interest expense

▪$24 million decrease in equity earnings related to our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities LLP due to $16 million in 2024 from the substantial dissolution of the partnership and $40 million in 2023 related to a legal settlement, which we discuss in Notes 5 and 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

▪$23 million income tax benefit in 2023 from the remeasurement of certain deferred income taxes

▪$5 million related to settlement charges from our non-qualified pension plan in 2024

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN REVENUES AND COSTS

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”).

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 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.

Pretax income$2,713$3,260$2,009
Effective income tax rate8%15%28%

(1)    We discuss how we recognize equity earnings in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 April 2023, the IRS issued Revenue Procedure 2023-15, which provides a safe harbor method of accounting for gas repairs expenditures. Sempra elected this change in tax accounting method in its consolidated 2023 income tax return filing.

Sempra records regulatory liabilities for benefits that will be flowed through to customers in the future.

In 2024 compared to 2023, Sempra’s income tax expense decreased by $271 million primarily due to:

▪$619 million from $336 million income tax benefit in 2024 compared to $283 million income tax expense in 2023 from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico

▪lower pretax income

▪$30 million income tax benefit in 2024 from an outside basis difference in a domestic partnership investment

▪$26 million higher income tax benefit from the resolution of prior year income tax items

▪higher income tax benefits from flow-through items, including higher gas repairs tax benefits, offset by $43 million income tax benefit in 2023 from the recognition of previously unrecognized income tax benefits pertaining to gas repairs expenditures

Offset by:

▪$330 million income tax expense in 2024 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

▪lower income tax benefit in 2024 from lower ITCs from standalone energy storage projects under the IRA

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 Notes 1 and 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details about our accounting for income taxes and items subject to flow-through treatment.

▪$24 million at TAG Norte primarily from the cumulative impact of new tariffs going into effect in June 2023 offset by lower income tax expense primarily from foreign currency and inflation effects

▪$21 million related to our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities LLP due to $19 million in 2024 from the substantial dissolution of the partnership and $40 million in 2023 related to a legal settlement

Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

In 2024 compared to 2023, Sempra’s earnings attributable to NCI increased by $95 million (17%) to $638 million primarily due to an increase in SI Partners’ net income.

IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION RATES ON RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Because our natural gas distribution utility in Mexico, Ecogas, uses its local currency as its functional currency, its revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates for the period for consolidation in Sempra’s results of operations.

Foreign Currency Translation

Any difference in average exchange rates used for the translation of income statement activity from year to year can cause a variance in Sempra’s comparative results of operations. In 2024 compared to 2023, the change in our earnings as a result of foreign currency translation rates was negligible.

Transactional Impacts

Although the financial statements of most of our Mexican subsidiaries and JVs have the U.S. dollar as the functional currency, some transactions may be denominated in the local currency; such transactions are remeasured into U.S. dollars. This remeasurement creates transactional gains and losses that are included in other income, net, for our consolidated entities and in equity earnings for our JVs.

We may utilize cross-currency swaps that 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. The impacts of these cross-currency swaps are offset in OCI and are reclassified from AOCI into earnings through other income, net, and interest expense as settlements occur.

Table of Contents

Certain of our Mexican pipelines (namely Los Ramones I and San Fernando at IEnova Pipelines and Los Ramones Norte at TAG Pipelines) generate revenue based on tariffs that are set by government agencies in Mexico, with contracts denominated in Mexican pesos that are indexed to the U.S. dollar, adjusted annually for inflation and fluctuation in the exchange rate. The resultant gains and losses from remeasuring the local currency amounts into U.S. dollars and the offsetting settlement of foreign currency forwards and swaps related to these contracts are included in revenues: energy-related businesses or equity earnings.

Income statement activities at our foreign operations and their JVs are also impacted by transactional gains and losses, a summary of which is shown in the table below:

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate and Inflation Impacts on Income Taxes and Related Hedging Activity

Our Mexican subsidiaries have U.S. dollar-denominated cash balances, receivables, payables and debt (monetary assets and liabilities) that are affected by Mexican currency exchange rate movements for Mexican income tax purposes. They also have significant deferred income tax assets and liabilities denominated in the Mexican peso that 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. As a result, fluctuations in both the currency exchange rate for the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar and Mexican inflation may expose us to fluctuations in income tax expense, other income, net, and equity earnings. We may use foreign currency derivatives as a means to help manage exposure to the currency exchange rate on our monetary assets and liabilities, and this derivative activity impacts other income, net. However, we generally do not hedge our deferred income tax assets and liabilities, which makes us susceptible to volatility in income tax expense caused by exchange rate fluctuations and inflation.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

OVERVIEW

Sempra

Liquidity

We expect to meet our cash requirements through cash flows from operations, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under or supported by our credit facilities, other incurrences of debt which may include issuing debt securities and obtaining term loans, issuing equity securities under our ATM program or other offerings, and other financing transactions which may include, distributions from our equity method investments, project financing and funding from NCI owners. We believe that these cash flow sources, combined with available funds, will be adequate to fund our operations in both the short-term and long-term, including to:

▪finance capital expenditures

▪repay debt

▪fund dividends

▪fund contractual and other obligations and otherwise meet liquidity requirements

▪fund capital contribution requirements

▪fund new business or asset acquisitions

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas currently have reasonable access to the money markets and capital markets and are not currently constrained in their ability to borrow or otherwise raise money at market rates from commercial banks, under existing revolving credit facilities, through public offerings of debt or equity securities (including under our ATM program or other offerings), or through private placements of debt supported by our revolving credit facilities in the case of commercial paper. However, our ability to access these markets or obtain credit from commercial banks outside of our committed revolving credit facilities could become materially constrained if economic conditions worsen or disruptions to or volatility in these markets increase. In addition, our financing activities, actions by credit rating agencies and prevailing interest rates, as well as many other factors, could negatively affect the availability and cost of both short-term and long-term debt and equity financing. In January 2025, S&P revised Sempra’s outlook to negative from stable and downgraded SoCalGas’ issuer credit rating to A- from A. Also, cash flows

2024 Form 10-K | 82

Table of Contents

from operations may be impacted by the timing and outcomes of regulatory proceedings, commencement and completion of, and potential cost overruns for, large projects and other material events. If cash flows from operations were to be significantly reduced or we were unable to borrow or obtain other financing under acceptable terms, we would likely first reduce or postpone discretionary capital expenditures (not related to safety/reliability) and investments in new businesses. We monitor our ability to finance the needs of our operating, investing and financing activities in a manner consistent with our goal to maintain our investment-grade credit ratings.

Common Stock Offering and ATM Program

In December 2024, upon full physical settlement of forward sale agreements entered into in connection with our November 2023 common stock offering, we received net proceeds of $1.2 billion from the issuance of 17,142,858 shares of Sempra common stock.

In November 2024, we established an ATM program providing for the offer and sale of shares of Sempra common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $3.0 billion through agents acting as our sales agents or as forward sellers or directly to the agents as principals. The shares may be offered and sold in amounts and at times to be determined by us from time to time. At December 31, 2024, approximately $2.7 billion of common stock remained available for sale under the ATM program, which reflects the forward sale agreement that we describe below.

In November 2024, we entered into a forward sale agreement under the ATM program for the sale of 2,909,274 shares of Sempra common stock. We did not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to this forward sale agreement. At December 31, 2024, a total of 2,909,274 shares of Sempra common stock remain subject to future settlement under this forward sale agreement, which may be settled on one or more dates specified by us occurring no later than June 30, 2026, which is the final settlement date under the agreement. At the initial forward price of $92.1546 per share, we expect that the net proceeds from the full physical settlement of the forward sale agreement would be approximately $268 million (net of sales commissions of approximately $2 million, but before deducting equity issuance costs, and subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the forward sale agreements). Although we expect to settle the forward sale agreement entirely by the physical delivery of shares of our common stock in exchange for cash proceeds, we may, subject to certain conditions, elect cash settlement or net share settlement for all or a portion of our obligations under the forward sale agreement. The forward sale agreement is also subject to acceleration by the forward purchaser upon the occurrence of certain events.

We further discuss these activities, including the use of proceeds, in Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Available Funds

Our committed lines of credit provide liquidity and support commercial paper. Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas each has a committed line of credit expiring in 2029 and Sempra Infrastructure has four committed lines of credit expiring on various dates from 2025 through 2030, and an uncommitted line of credit expiring in 2026.

Because our commercial paper programs are supported by these lines, we reflect the amount of commercial paper outstanding and any letters of credit outstanding as a reduction to the available unused credit.

Short-Term Borrowings

We use short-term debt primarily to meet liquidity requirements, fund shareholder dividends, and temporarily finance capital expenditures or acquisitions. SDG&E and SoCalGas use short-term debt primarily to meet working capital needs or to help fund event-specific costs. Commercial paper, a term loan and lines of credit were our primary sources of short-term debt funding in 2024.

We discuss our short-term debt activities in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and below in “Sources and Uses of Cash.”

Table of Contents

Downgrades of or other negative actions with respect to Sempra’s or any of its subsidiaries’ credit ratings or rating outlooks may, depending on the severity, result in the imposition of financial or other burdensome covenants or a requirement for collateral to be posted in the case of certain financing arrangements and may materially and adversely affect the market prices of their equity and debt securities, the rates at which borrowings are made and commercial paper is issued, and the various fees on their outstanding credit facilities. This could make it more costly for Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra’s other subsidiaries to issue debt or equity securities, to borrow under credit facilities and to raise certain other types of financing. We provide additional information about our credit ratings at Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Sempra has agreed that, if the credit rating of 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. Oncor’s senior secured debt was rated A2, A+ and A at Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, at December 31, 2024.

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas have committed lines of credit to provide liquidity and to support commercial paper. Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at benchmark rates plus a margin that varies with market index rates and each borrower’s credit rating. Each facility also requires a commitment fee on available unused credit that may be impacted by each borrower’s credit rating. For example, assuming a one-notch downgrade:

▪If Sempra were to experience a ratings downgrade from its current level, the rate at which borrowings bear interest would increase by 25 bps. The commitment fee on available unused credit would also increase 5 bps.

▪If SDG&E were to experience a ratings downgrade from its current level, the rate at which borrowings bear interest would increase by 12.5 bps. The commitment fee on available unused credit would also increase 5 bps.

▪If SoCalGas were to experience a ratings downgrade from its current level, the rate at which borrowings bear interest would increase by 12.5 bps. The commitment fee on available unused credit would also increase 2.5 bps.

Sempra’s, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ credit ratings also may affect their respective credit limits related to derivative instruments, as we discuss in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loans due to/from Affiliates

At December 31, 2024, Sempra had $352 million in loans due to unconsolidated affiliates.

Postretirement Benefits

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas have significant investments in several trusts to provide for future payments of pensions and PBOP. The trusts’ ability to make ongoing required benefit payments has not been materially adversely affected by changes in asset values, which are dependent on market fluctuations, contributions and withdrawals. However, changes in asset values or other factors in future periods (such as changes to discount rates, assumed rates of return, mortality tables and regulations) may impact funding requirements for pension and PBOP plans. Additionally, contributions to our plans are based on our funding policy, which generally limits payments from exceeding plan assets of 110% of the projected benefit obligation, which are subject to maximum income tax deduction limitations. Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas expect to contribute $283 million, $55 million and $189 million, respectively, to pension and PBOP plans in 2025 and $1.5 billion, $480 million and $768 million, respectively, in the nine years thereafter. At SDG&E and SoCalGas, funding requirements are generally recoverable in rates. We discuss our employee benefit plans and our expected contributions to those plans in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has introduced a framework known as “Pillar Two” to implement a global minimum effective tax rate of 15% in every jurisdiction (generally, every country) in which a company does business. Many aspects of the Pillar Two framework became effective beginning in 2024. While it is uncertain whether the U.S. or Mexico will enact legislation to adopt the Pillar Two framework, other countries are in the process of introducing and enacting legislation to implement Pillar Two. We do not currently expect the Pillar Two framework to have a material effect on Sempra’s, SDG&E’s or SoCalGas’ results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

Sempra California

SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ operations have historically provided relatively stable earnings and liquidity. Their future performance and liquidity will depend primarily on the ratemaking and regulatory process, environmental regulations, economic conditions, actions by legislatures, litigation and the changing energy marketplace, as well as other matters described in this report. SDG&E and SoCalGas expect that the available unused funds from their credit facilities described above, which also supports their commercial paper programs, cash flows from operations, and other incurrences of debt including issuing debt securities and

2024 Form 10-K | 85

Table of Contents

obtaining term loans will continue to be adequate to fund their respective current operations and planned capital expenditures. SDG&E and SoCalGas manage their capital structures and pay dividends when appropriate and as approved by their respective boards of directors.

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. Although SDG&E and SoCalGas have regulatory mechanisms to recover credit losses, delay in payments by customers impacts the timing of their cash flows.

As we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, changes in regulatory balancing accounts for significant costs at SDG&E and SoCalGas, particularly a change between over and undercollected status, may have a significant impact on cash flows. These changes generally represent the difference between when costs are incurred and when they are ultimately recovered or refunded in rates through billings to customers.

CPUC GRC

2024 Revenue Requirements and Attrition Year Revenues. 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), which represents an increase of $189 million (7.5%) over its authorized 2023 combined revenue requirement. 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, all of which will be updated to implement a previously authorized change in the cost of capital that 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, which represents an increase of $324 million (9.3%) over its authorized 2023 revenue requirement. 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, all of which will be updated to implement a previously authorized change in the cost of capital that we describe below that adjusted SoCalGas’ rate of return to 7.49%.

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. 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.

Existing and Anticipated Requests for Recovery of Specified Safety, Maintenance and Reliability Investments. The GRC also 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. These projects and programs include (i) the Track 2 and Track 3 requests related to SDG&E’s wildfire mitigation plan costs that we describe below, as well as review of SoCalGas’ and SDG&E’s Pipeline Safety Enhancement Plan costs incurred from 2015 to 2020, inclusively, which the GRC FD added to the Track 3 request, (ii) the ability to file advice letters to implement the revenue requirements associated with the costs of SDG&E’s Moreno compressor station project and SoCalGas’ Honor Rancho compressor station and customer information system replacement projects, which projects were all approved by the CPUC subject to applicable cost caps, and (iii) the opportunity to file separate applications for cost recovery of mobile home park and gas integrity management programs at both SDG&E and SoCalGas, advanced metering infrastructure replacements at SDG&E, and other projects and programs.

CCM

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). 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. In October 2024, the CPUC

2024 Form 10-K | 86

Table of Contents

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.

SDG&E

Wildfire Fund

The carrying value of SDG&E’s Wildfire Fund asset totaled $276 million at December 31, 2024. We describe the Wildfire Legislation and SDG&E’s commitment to make annual shareholder contributions to the Wildfire Fund through 2028 in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

SDG&E is exposed to the risk that the participating California electric IOUs may incur third-party wildfire costs for which they will seek recovery from the Wildfire Fund with respect to wildfires that have occurred since enactment of the Wildfire Legislation in July 2019. In such a situation, SDG&E may recognize a reduction of its Wildfire Fund asset and record accelerated amortization against earnings when available coverage is reduced due to recoverable claims from any of the participating IOUs. PG&E is seeking reimbursement from the Wildfire Fund for losses associated with the Dixie Fire, which burned from July 2021 through October 2021. In the case of the recent LA fires, the causes of these fires have not been determined and therefore these fires may not impact the Wildfire Fund. If any California electric IOUs’ assets are determined to be a cause of fires, including fires of the size and scope of the recent LA Fires, payments of claims associated with those events could have a material adverse effect on the Wildfire Fund and on SDG&E’s and Sempra’s financial condition and results of operations up to the carrying value of our Wildfire Fund asset, with additional potential material exposure if SDG&E’s equipment is determined to be a cause of a fire. In addition, the Wildfire Fund could be completely exhausted due to fires in the other California electric IOUs’ service territories, by fires in SDG&E’s service territory or by a combination thereof. In the event that the Wildfire Fund is materially diminished, exhausted or terminated, SDG&E will lose the protection afforded by the Wildfire Fund, and as a consequence, a fire in SDG&E’s service territory could have a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Wildfire Mitigation Cost Recovery Mechanism

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.

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.

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. 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.

SONGS Decommissioning

SDG&E has significant investments in the SONGS NDT to provide for future payments of nuclear decommissioning. The NDT’s ability to make ongoing required payments has not been materially or adversely affected by changes in asset values, which are dependent on market fluctuations, contributions and withdrawals. However, asset values could be materially and adversely affected by future activity in the equity and fixed income markets, and changes in the estimated decommissioning costs, or in the assumptions and judgments made by management underlying these estimates, could cause revisions to the estimated total cost associated with retiring the assets. Funding requirements are generally recoverable in rates. We discuss SDG&E’s NDT and its expected SONGS decommissioning payments in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

SDG&E has entered into PPAs and tolling agreements that are variable interests in unconsolidated entities. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

SoCalGas

LA Fires

The LA Fires burned in SoCalGas’ service territory. As of February 6, 2025, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection estimated that the Palisades and Eaton fires damaged approximately 2,000 structures and destroyed approximately 16,200 structures.

The potential costs to SoCalGas will depend on various factors, including the number of customers impacted and the nature and extent of damage to SoCalGas’ facilities. Due to the limited amount of time that has elapsed since the start of the LA Fires and the limited available information, including continued uncertainty as to the magnitude of their impacts on customers and utility facilities, SoCalGas cannot reasonably estimate the amount or range of such potential costs at this time.

SoCalGas has mechanisms available for potential recovery of costs associated with declared disasters, such as the LA Fires, including through insurance and customer rates. Failure by SoCalGas to timely recover all or a substantial portion of its costs related to the LA Fires or any conclusion that such recovery is no longer probable could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility

Litigation. From October 23, 2015 through February 11, 2016, SoCalGas experienced the Leak, which we describe in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.” As of February 19, 2025, there are approximately 520 plaintiffs who have filed lawsuits related to the Leak or who declined to participate in a previous settlement related to the Leak and are able to continue to pursue their claims. SoCalGas’ loss contingency accruals do not include any amounts in excess of what has been reasonably estimated to resolve these matters, nor any amounts that may be necessary to resolve threatened litigation, other potential litigation or other costs. We are not able to reasonably estimate the possible loss or a range of possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued, which could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Operations and Reliability. Natural gas withdrawn from storage is important to help maintain service reliability during peak demand periods, including consumer heating needs in the winter and peak electric generation needs in the summer. The Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility is the largest SoCalGas storage facility and an important component of SoCalGas’ delivery system. In December 2024, the CPUC approved an FD in the SB 380 OII finding that the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility is currently necessary for natural gas and electric reliability and affordable rates and closed the OII. Among other things, and subject to future CPUC biennial reviews and potential additional proceedings, the FD authorizes the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility to continue operating and sets the maximum working natural gas storage level at 68.6 bcf.

At December 31, 2024, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility had a net book value of $1.0 billion. If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were to be permanently closed or if future cash flows from its operation were otherwise insufficient to recover its carrying value, we would record an impairment of the facility, which could be material, we could incur materially higher than expected operating costs and/or be required to make material additional capital expenditures (any or all of which may not be recoverable in rates), and natural gas reliability and electric generation could be jeopardized.

Los Angeles County Franchise Agreement

In December 2024, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors granted SoCalGas a new, 20-year gas pipeline franchise. The franchise consists of an initial 10-year term beginning on January 9, 2025, followed by a 10-year term that Los Angeles County has the option to terminate. Prior to the granting of the new franchise, SoCalGas continued to serve customers in the unincorporated territory of Los Angeles County in accordance with its prior franchise.

Labor Relations

Field, technical and most clerical employees at SoCalGas are represented by the Utility Workers Union of America or the International Chemical Workers Union Council. The collective bargaining agreement for these employees covering wages, hours, working conditions, and medical and other benefit plans was due to expire on September 30, 2024, but was extended by mutual agreement through February 7, 2025, while SoCalGas and the unions continued negotiations. Two ratification votes in late 2024 were not successful. SoCalGas is currently operating under the terms of the expired agreement while the parties continue to negotiate revised terms and seek a positive ratification vote from union members. Until a new collective bargaining agreement is ratified by employees, there could be labor disruptions, though we do not anticipate that such labor disruptions would have a material impact on service.

Sempra Texas Utilities

Oncor relies on external financing as a significant source of liquidity for its capital requirements. In the event that Oncor fails to meet its capital requirements, access sufficient capital, or raise capital on favorable terms to finance its ongoing needs, we may elect to make additional capital contributions to Oncor (as our commitments to the PUCT prohibit us from making loans to Oncor), which could be substantial and reduce the cash available to us for other purposes, increase our indebtedness and ultimately materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. Oncor’s ability to make distributions may be limited by factors such as its credit ratings, regulatory capital requirements, increases in its capital plan, debt-to-equity ratio approved by the PUCT and other restrictions and considerations. In addition, Oncor will not make distributions if a majority of Oncor’s independent directors or any minority member director determines it is in the best interests of Oncor to retain such amounts to meet expected future requirements.

Rates and Cost Recovery

The PUCT issued a final order in Oncor’s most recent comprehensive base rate proceeding in April 2023, and rates implementing that order went into effect on May 1, 2023. In June 2023, the PUCT issued an order on rehearing in response to the motions for rehearing filed by Oncor and certain intervenor parties in the proceeding. The order on rehearing made certain technical and typographical corrections to the final order but otherwise affirmed the material provisions of the final order and did not require modification of the rates that went into effect on May 1, 2023. In September 2023, Oncor filed an appeal in Travis County District Court seeking judicial review of certain rate base disallowances and related expense effects of those disallowances in the PUCT’s order on rehearing. In February 2024, the court dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. In March 2024, Oncor appealed the court’s dismissal, which is currently with the Fifteenth Court of Appeals in Texas.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

Our investment in Oncor Holdings is a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sempra Infrastructure

Sempra Infrastructure expects to fund capital expenditures, investments and operations in part with available funds, including existing credit facilities, and cash flows from operations from the Sempra Infrastructure businesses. We expect Sempra Infrastructure will require additional funding for the development and expansion of its portfolio of projects, which may be financed through a combination of funding from the parent and NCI owners, bank financing, issuances of debt, project financing, partnering in JVs and asset sales.

In 2024, 2023 and 2022, Sempra Infrastructure distributed $297 million, $730 million and $237 million, respectively, to its NCI owners, and NCI owners contributed $1,235 million, $1,770 million and $31 million, respectively, to Sempra Infrastructure.

Sempra Infrastructure is in various stages of development or construction of natural gas liquefaction projects, pipeline and terminal projects, and renewable power generation and sequestration projects, which we describe below. The successful development and/or construction of these projects is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties.

2024 Form 10-K | 89

Table of Contents

With respect to projects in development, these risks and uncertainties include, as applicable depending on the project, any failure to:

▪secure binding customer commitments

▪identify suitable project and equity partners

▪obtain sufficient financing

▪reach agreement with project partners or other applicable parties to proceed

▪obtain, modify, and/or maintain permits and regulatory approvals, including LNG export applications to non-FTA countries

▪negotiate, complete and maintain suitable commercial agreements, which may include EPC, tolling, equity acquisition, governance, LNG sales, gas supply and transportation contracts

▪reach a positive final investment decision

With respect to projects under construction, these risks and uncertainties include, in addition to the risks described above as applicable to each project, construction delays and cost overruns.

An unfavorable outcome with respect to any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on (i) the development and construction of the applicable project, including a potential impairment of all or a substantial portion of the capital costs invested in the project to date, which could be material, and (ii) for any project that has reached a positive final investment decision, Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. For a further discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

The descriptions below discuss several HOAs, MOUs and other non-binding development agreements with respect to Sempra Infrastructure’s various development projects. These arrangements do not commit any party to enter into definitive agreements or otherwise participate in the applicable project, and the ultimate participation by the parties remains subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors.

LNG

Cameron LNG Phase 2 Project. Cameron LNG JV is developing a proposed expansion project that would add one electric drive liquefaction train with an expected maximum production capacity of approximately 6.75 Mtpa and would increase the production capacity of the existing three trains at the Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility by up to approximately 1 Mtpa through debottlenecking activities. The Cameron LNG JV site can accommodate additional trains beyond the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project.

Cameron LNG JV has received major permits, which have been amended to allow the use of electric drives for a one-train electric drive expansion along with other design enhancements, and FTA and non-FTA approvals associated with the potential expansion. The non-FTA approval for the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project includes, among other things, a May 2026 deadline to commence commercial exports, for which we expect to request an extension.

Sempra Infrastructure and the other Cameron LNG JV members, namely affiliates of TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Japan LNG Investment, LLC, a company jointly owned by Mitsubishi Corporation and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha, have entered into a non-binding HOA for the potential development of the Cameron LNG Phase 2 project. The non-binding HOA provides a commercial framework for the proposed project, including the contemplated allocation to SI Partners of 50.2% of the fourth train production capacity and 25% of the debottlenecking capacity from the project under tolling agreements. The non-binding HOA contemplates the remaining capacity to be allocated equally to the existing Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility customers.

Cameron LNG JV concluded additional value engineering work on the proposed project in December 2024, which improved the overall value of the project and enabled evaluation of another potential EPC contractor. In collaboration with our partners, we continue to evaluate these materials as well as the timeframe to make a final investment decision, which remains subject to satisfactory conclusion on the EPC process as well as negotiation and finalization of definitive offtake agreements and completion of all related financing and permitting activities.

Entergy Louisiana, LLC, a subsidiary of Entergy Corporation, and Cameron LNG JV have an electricity service agreement (and related ancillary agreements) for the supply to Cameron LNG JV of up to 950 MW of power from new renewable sources in Louisiana.

Expansion of the Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility beyond the first three trains is subject to certain restrictions and conditions under the JV project financing agreements, including among others, scope restrictions on expansion of the project unless appropriate prior consent is obtained from the existing project lenders. Under the Cameron LNG JV equity agreements, the expansion of the project requires the unanimous consent of all the members, including with respect to the equity investment obligation of each member.

ECA LNG Phase 1 Project. ECA LNG Phase 1 is constructing a one-train natural gas liquefaction facility at the site of Sempra Infrastructure’s existing ECA Regas Facility with a nameplate capacity of 3.25 Mtpa and an initial offtake capacity of 2.5 Mtpa. We do not expect the construction or operation of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project to disrupt operations at the ECA Regas Facility.

We received authorizations from the DOE to export U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and to re-export LNG to non-FTA countries from the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. ECA LNG Phase 1 has definitive 20-year SPAs with an affiliate of TotalEnergies SE for approximately 1.7 Mtpa of LNG and with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. for approximately 0.8 Mtpa of LNG. The customers have a termination right if the ECA LNG Phase 1 project does not commence commercial operations under the SPAs by February 24, 2026, subject to certain additional conditions, for which we expect to request an extension if necessary.

We have an EPC contract with TP Oil & Gas Mexico, S. De R.L. De C.V., an affiliate of Technip Energies N.V., to construct the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. We estimate the total price of the EPC contract to be approximately $1.6 billion, with capital expenditures approximating $2.5 billion including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual cost of the EPC contract and the actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates. We expect the ECA LNG Phase 1 project to commence commercial operations in the spring of 2026.

ECA LNG Phase 1 has a five-year loan agreement with a syndicate of seven external lenders that matures in December 2025, which we expect to extend, for an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.3 billion, of which $1.1 billion was outstanding at December 31, 2024. Proceeds from the loan are being used to finance the cost of construction of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project.

With respect to the ECA LNG Phase 1 and Phase 2 projects, recent and proposed changes to the Mexican Constitution and certain laws in Mexico and an unfavorable resolution of land disputes and permit challenges, in each case that we discuss in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, could have a material adverse effect on the development and construction of these projects.

ECA LNG Phase 2 Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing a second, large-scale natural gas liquefaction project at the site of its existing ECA Regas Facility. We expect the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project to be comprised of two trains and one LNG storage tank and produce approximately 12 Mtpa of export capacity. We expect that construction of the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project would conflict with the current operations at the ECA Regas Facility, which currently has firm storage service agreements and nitrogen injection service agreements with Shell and SEFE that expire in May 2028 and December 2025, respectively.

We received authorizations from the DOE to export U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and to re-export LNG to non-FTA countries from the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project.

We have non-binding MOUs and/or HOAs with Mitsui & Co., Ltd., an affiliate of TotalEnergies SE, and ConocoPhillips that provide a framework for their potential offtake of LNG from the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project and potential acquisition of an equity interest in ECA LNG Phase 2.

PA LNG Phase 1 Project. Sempra Infrastructure is constructing a natural gas liquefaction project on a greenfield site that it owns in the vicinity of Port Arthur, Texas, located along the Sabine-Neches waterway. The PA LNG Phase 1 project will consist of two liquefaction trains, two LNG storage tanks, a marine berth and associated loading facilities and related infrastructure necessary to provide liquefaction services with a nameplate capacity of approximately 13 Mtpa and an initial offtake capacity of approximately 10.5 Mtpa.

Sempra Infrastructure has received authorizations from the DOE that permit the LNG to be produced from the PA LNG Phase 1 project to be exported to all current and future FTA and non-FTA countries. In April 2019, the FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. Port Arthur LNG has received authorization from the FERC to increase its work force and implement a 24-hours-per-day construction schedule to further enhance construction efficiency while reducing temporal impacts to the community and environment in the vicinity of the project. The authorization provides the EPC contractor with more optionality to meet or exceed the project’s construction schedule.

The PA LNG Phase 1 project holds two Clean Air Act Prevention of Significant Deterioration permits issued by the TCEQ, which we refer to as the “2016 Permit” and the “2022 Permit.” The 2022 Permit also governs emissions for the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project. In November 2023, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a decision to vacate and remand the 2022 Permit to the TCEQ for additional explanation of the agency’s permit decision. In February 2024, the court withdrew its opinion and referred the case to the Supreme Court of Texas to resolve the question of the appropriate standard to be applied by the TCEQ. In February 2025, the Supreme Court of Texas adopted Port Arthur LNG’s interpretation of the standard. Port Arthur LNG continues to litigate this matter before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which will apply the standard adopted by the Supreme Court of Texas. The 2022 Permit is effective during the pending litigation. The 2016 Permit was not the subject of, and is unaffected by, the pending litigation of the 2022 Permit. Construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project is proceeding

2024 Form 10-K | 91

Table of Contents

uninterrupted under existing permits, and we do not currently anticipate the pending litigation to materially impact the PA LNG Phase 1 project cost, schedule or expected commercial operations at this stage.

Sempra Infrastructure has definitive SPAs for LNG offtake from the PA LNG Phase 1 project with:

▪an affiliate of ConocoPhillips for a 20-year term for 5 Mtpa of LNG, as well as a natural gas supply management agreement whereby an affiliate of ConocoPhillips will manage the feed gas supply requirements for the PA LNG Phase 1 project.

▪RWE Supply & Trading GmbH, a subsidiary of RWE AG, for a 15-year term for 2.25 Mtpa of LNG.

▪INEOS for a 20-year term for approximately 1.4 Mtpa of LNG.

▪ORLEN for a 20-year term for approximately 1 Mtpa of LNG.

▪ENGIE S.A. for a 15-year term for approximately 0.875 Mtpa of LNG.

We have an EPC contract with Bechtel to construct the PA LNG Phase 1 project, which has an estimated price of approximately $10.7 billion. We estimate the capital expenditures for the PA LNG Phase 1 project will be approximately $13 billion including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual cost of the EPC contract and the actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates. We expect the first and second trains of the PA LNG Phase 1 project to commence commercial operations in 2027 and 2028, respectively.

As we discuss in Note 12 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, SI Partners and ConocoPhillips have provided guarantees relating to their respective affiliate’s commitment to make its pro rata equity share of capital contributions to fund 110% of the development budget of the PA LNG Phase 1 project, in an aggregate amount of up to $9.0 billion. SI Partners’ guarantee covers 70% of this amount plus enforcement costs of its guarantee. As of December 31, 2024, an aggregate amount of $2.7 billion has been paid by SI Partners’ subsidiary in satisfaction of its commitment to fund its portion of the development budget of the PA LNG Phase 1 project.

Port Arthur LNG has a seven-year term loan facility for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.8 billion and an initial working capital facility for up to $200 million, each of which matures in March 2030. At December 31, 2024, $1.1 billion of borrowings were outstanding under the term loan facility agreement. 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.

PA LNG Phase 2 Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing a second phase of the Port Arthur natural gas liquefaction project that we expect will be a similar size to the PA LNG Phase 1 project. We are progressing the development of the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project, while continuing to evaluate overall opportunities to develop the entirety of the Port Arthur site.

In September 2023, the FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project, including the potential addition of up to two liquefaction trains. In February 2020, Sempra Infrastructure filed an application with the DOE to permit LNG produced from the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project to be exported to all current and future non-FTA countries. We received FTA authorization from the DOE in July 2020.

As we discuss above, a U.S. federal court previously issued and subsequently withdrew a decision that would have vacated and remanded the 2022 Permit authorizing emissions from the PA LNG Phase 1 and Phase 2 projects to the TCEQ for additional explanation of the agency’s permit decision. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit referred the case to the Supreme Court of Texas to resolve the question of the appropriate standard to be applied by the TCEQ. In February 2025, the Supreme Court of Texas adopted Port Arthur LNG’s interpretation of the standard. Port Arthur LNG continues to litigate this matter before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which will apply the standard adopted by the Supreme Court of Texas. The 2022 Permit is effective during the pending litigation.

Sempra Infrastructure has entered into a non-binding HOA for a 20-year SPA with Aramco for 5 Mtpa of LNG offtake from the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project. The HOA further contemplates Aramco’s 25% participation in the project-level equity of the PA LNG Phase 2 project.

In July 2024, Sempra Infrastructure entered into an $8.2 billion EPC contract with Bechtel for the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project. The EPC contract contemplates the construction of two liquefaction trains capable of producing approximately 13 Mtpa, an additional LNG storage tank and marine berth and associated loading facilities and related infrastructure necessary to provide liquefaction services. We have no obligation to move forward on the EPC contract, and we may release Bechtel to perform

portions of the work pursuant to limited notices to proceed. The price is subject to increase if certain limited notices to proceed and the full notice to proceed are not issued, each by specified dates. We expect to work with Bechtel with respect to such changes based on the ultimate timeline for the project and plan to fully release Bechtel to perform all the work to construct the PA LNG Phase 2 project only after we reach a final investment decision, which we are targeting in 2025, and after certain other conditions are met, including obtaining permits, executing definitive agreements for LNG offtake and equity investments, and securing project financing.

Vista Pacifico LNG Liquefaction Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing the Vista Pacifico LNG project, a mid-scale natural gas liquefaction export facility proposed to be located in the vicinity of the Port of Topolobampo in Sinaloa, Mexico. In June 2024, we extended the non-binding development agreement with the CFE through December 2025. We continue to progress with the CFE on the negotiation of definitive agreements, including a natural gas supply agreement. The proposed LNG export terminal would be supplied with U.S. natural gas and would use excess capacity on existing pipelines in Mexico with the intent of helping to meet growing demand for natural gas and LNG in the Mexican and Pacific markets.

Sempra Infrastructure received authorization from the DOE to permit the export of U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and for LNG produced from the proposed Vista Pacifico LNG facility to be re-exported to all current and future FTA countries and non-FTA countries.

In March 2022, TotalEnergies SE and Sempra Infrastructure entered into a non-binding MOU that contemplates TotalEnergies SE potentially contracting approximately one-third of the long-term export production of the proposed Vista Pacifico LNG project and potentially participating as a minority partner in the project.

Asset and Supply Optimization. As we discuss in “Part II – Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” Sempra Infrastructure enters into hedging transactions to help mitigate commodity price risk and optimize the value of its LNG, natural gas pipelines and storage, and power-generating assets. Some of these derivatives that we use as economic hedges do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting, or hedge accounting is not elected, and as a result, the changes in fair value of these derivatives are recorded in earnings. Consequently, significant changes in commodity prices have in the past and could in the future result in earnings volatility, which may be material, as the economic offset of these derivatives may not be recorded at fair value.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. Our investment in Cameron LNG JV is a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2021, Sempra provided a promissory note, which constitutes a guarantee, for the benefit of Cameron LNG JV with a maximum exposure to loss of $165 million. 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. We discuss this guarantee in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2020, Sempra entered into a Support Agreement, which contains a guarantee and represents a variable interest, for the benefit of CFIN with a maximum exposure to loss of $979 million. The guarantee will terminate upon full repayment of the guaranteed debt by 2039, including repayment following an event in which the guaranteed debt is put to Sempra. We discuss this guarantee in Notes 1, 5 and 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Energy Networks

Sonora Pipeline. Sempra Infrastructure’s Sonora natural gas pipeline consists of two 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.

In September 2019, Sempra Infrastructure and the CFE reached an agreement to modify the tariff structure and extend the term of the contract by 10 years. Under the revised agreement, the CFE will resume making payments only when the damaged section of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline is back in service.

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.

2024 Form 10-K | 93

Table of Contents

The Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline currently constitutes a Sole Risk Project under the terms of the SI Partners limited partnership agreement, which means that Sempra Infrastructure holds a 100% interest in the project. Sole Risk Projects are separated from other SI Partners projects and are conducted at Sempra’s sole cost, expense and liability and Sempra Infrastructure receives, through the acquisition of Sole Risk Interests, any economic and other benefits from such projects. 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, which in each case could have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Refined Products Terminals. Sempra Infrastructure owns and operates terminals for the receipt, storage, and delivery of refined products; one such terminal located in Topolobampo commenced commercial operations in June 2024. Sempra Infrastructure is also developing terminals for the receipt, storage, and delivery of refined products in the vicinity of Manzanillo and Ensenada.

Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector. Sempra Infrastructure is constructing the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector, a 72-mile pipeline connecting the PA LNG Phase 1 project to Gillis, Louisiana. In April 2019, the FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector, which will be used to supply feed gas to the PA LNG Phase 1 project. Sempra Infrastructure received FERC approval to implement construction process enhancements and minor modifications to several discrete sections of the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector. These modifications are intended to decrease environmental impacts, accommodate landowner routing requests and enhance construction procedures. We expect the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector to be ready for service ahead of the PA LNG Phase 1 project’s gas requirements. We estimate the capital expenditures for the project will be approximately $1 billion, including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates.

Louisiana Storage. Sempra Infrastructure is constructing Louisiana Storage, a 12.5-Bcf salt dome natural gas storage facility to support the PA LNG Phase 1 project. The construction includes an 11-mile pipeline that will connect to the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector. In September 2022, the FERC approved the development of the project. We expect Louisiana Storage to be ready for service in time to support the needs of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. We estimate the capital expenditures for the project will be approximately $300 million, including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates.

Low Carbon Solutions

Cimarrón Wind. Sempra Infrastructure has made a positive final investment decision on and begun constructing the Cimarrón Wind project, an approximately 320 MW wind generation facility in Baja California, Mexico. Sempra Infrastructure has a 20-year PPA with Silicon Valley Power for the long-term supply of renewable energy to the City of Santa Clara, California. Cimarrón Wind will utilize 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 estimate the capital expenditures for the project will be approximately $550 million, including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates. We expect the Cimarrón Wind project to begin generating energy in late 2025 and commence commercial operations in the first half of 2026.

Hackberry Carbon Sequestration Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing the potential Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project near Hackberry, Louisiana, together with TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation. This proposed project is designed to permanently sequester carbon dioxide from the Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility, the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project and potentially other sources. In 2021, Sempra Infrastructure filed an application with the EPA for a Class VI carbon injection well permit, which is under review by the State of Louisiana.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

See Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” for discussions of the following legal and regulatory matters affecting our operations in Mexico and risks associated with Mexican laws, policies and government influence:

Energía Costa Azul

▪Land Disputes

▪Environmental and Social Impact Permits

One or more unfavorable final decisions on these land disputes or environmental and social impact permit challenges could materially adversely affect our existing natural gas regasification operations and proposed natural gas liquefaction projects at the

site of the ECA Regas Facility and have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Regulatory and Other Actions by the Mexican Government

▪Amendments to Mexico’s Hydrocarbons Law

▪Amendments to Mexico’s Electricity Industry Law

Sempra Infrastructure and other parties affected by these amendments to Mexican law have challenged them by filing amparo and other claims, some of which remain pending. In particular, Sempra Infrastructure filed one lawsuit concerning the provision of Mexico’s Electricity Industry Law permitting revocation of self-supply permits deemed improperly obtained that was dismissed by the court. Consequently, the CRE may be required to seek to revoke such self-supply permits, under a legal standard that is ambiguous and not well defined under the law. An unfavorable decision on one or more of these amparo or other challenges, the impact of the amendments that have become effective (due to unsuccessful amparo challenges or otherwise), or the possibility of future reforms to the energy industry through additional amendments to Mexican laws, regulations or rules (including through amendments to the Mexican Constitution) may impact our ability to operate our facilities at existing levels or at all, may result in increased costs for Sempra Infrastructure and its customers, may adversely affect our ability to develop new projects, may result in decreased revenues and cash flows, and may negatively impact our ability to recover the carrying values of our investments in Mexico, any of which may have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Subsequent to the federal elections in Mexico in 2024 and, as noted above, the Mexican government has begun to introduce significant changes to the Mexican Constitution, which will require changes in laws, policies, and regulations in order to be implemented. These changes have included Mexican Constitutional reforms affecting the judiciary and the for-profit status of certain state-owned enterprises. The changes to the judiciary include a requirement that all judges be elected rather than appointed. The energy reforms have the potential to increase government control and participation in the energy sector and to create novel challenges for infrastructure development and operations. Additionally, a set of six energy-related laws, including modifications to the Hydrocarbons Law and Electricity Industry Law, were submitted to Mexico’s Congress in January 2025. The legislative session runs from February 1 to April 30, and the government is targeting approval by the end of March 2025. These reforms and any further Mexican Constitutional, legal or regulatory changes could affect the Mexican economy, energy sector and our businesses, the extent of which we currently are unable to predict.

Future Capital Expenditures for PP&E and Investments

The amounts and timing of capital expenditures for PP&E and certain investments are generally subject to approvals by various regulatory and other governmental and environmental bodies, including the CPUC, the FERC and the PUCT, and various other factors described in this MD&A and in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.” In 2025, we expect to make capital expenditures for PP&E and investments of approximately $12.5 billion, as summarized by segment in the following table.

FUTURE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES FOR PP&E AND INVESTMENTS
(Dollars in millions)
Year ending December 31, 2025
Sempra:
Sempra California(1)$4,740
Sempra Texas Utilities1,935
Sempra Infrastructure5,777
Segment totals12,452
Parent and other2
Total Sempra$12,454

(1)    Includes expected future capital expenditures of $2,632 and $2,108 at SDG&E and SoCalGas, respectively.

We expect the majority of our capital expenditures for PP&E and investments in 2025 will relate to investments in transmission and distribution safety and reliability at our regulated public utilities and construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project, ECA LNG Phase 1 project and natural gas pipelines at Sempra Infrastructure.

From 2025 through 2029, and subject to the factors described below, which could cause these estimates to vary substantially, Sempra expects to make aggregate capital expenditures for PP&E and investments of approximately $41.4 billion, as follows: $22.4 billion at Sempra California (which includes $12.7 billion at SDG&E and $9.7 billion at SoCalGas), $8.1 billion at Sempra Texas Utilities, and $10.9 billion at Sempra Infrastructure. Capital expenditure amounts for PP&E include capitalized interest and AFUDC related to debt.

When (i) including Sempra’s proportionate ownership interest in expected capital expenditures for PP&E at unconsolidated equity method investees while excluding Sempra’s expected capital contributions to those unconsolidated equity method investees and (ii) excluding NCI’s proportionate ownership interest in expected capital expenditures for PP&E at Sempra and at unconsolidated equity method investees, we expect capital expenditures for PP&E from 2025 through 2029 to total $55.5 billion.

Oncor currently anticipates that its five-year capital expenditures plan could grow by approximately $12 billion over the 2025 through 2029 period due to potential additions to its system resiliency plan expected to occur in 2028 and 2029, potential projects that are pending regulatory action and customer projects that are in Oncor’s transmission interconnection queue but do not yet have signed agreements. Significant changes in Oncor’s capital expenditures plan could result in significant changes to our capital expenditures plan. To the extent Oncor’s five-year capital expenditures plan grows, Sempra expects that its five-year plan for capital expenditures for PP&E and investments, as well as its plan when including its proportionate ownership interest in Oncor’s capital expenditures and excluding Sempra’s expected capital contributions to Oncor, would each grow by Sempra’s 80.25% interest in Oncor’s incremental capital expenditures.

Periodically, we review our construction, investment and financing programs and revise them in response to changes in regulation, economic conditions, competition, customer growth, inflation, customer rates, the cost and availability of capital, and safety and environmental requirements.

Our level of capital expenditures for PP&E and investments in the next few years may vary substantially and will depend on, among other things, the cost and availability of financing, regulatory approvals, changes in tax law and business opportunities providing desirable rates of return, among various other factors described in this MD&A and in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.” We aim to finance our capital expenditures for PP&E and investments in a manner that will maintain our investment-grade credit ratings and capital structure, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so.

Rate Base

For SDG&E and SoCalGas, rate base is the value of assets on which SDG&E and SoCalGas are permitted to earn a specified rate of return in accordance with rules set by regulatory agencies, including the CPUC and the FERC (for SDG&E), which is calculated using a 13-month average in accordance with CPUC methodology as adopted in rate-setting proceedings. The following table summarizes the weighted-average rate base for SDG&E and SoCalGas for the last three years.

2024 Form 10-K | 98

Table of Contents

WEIGHTED-AVERAGE RATE BASE
(Dollars in millions)
202420232022
SDG&E$16,842$15,220$13,780
SoCalGas12,44611,67110,494

The increase in weighted-average rate base reflects the significant capital investments that SDG&E and SoCalGas have made in transmission and distribution safety and reliability. We expect the weighted-average rate base to continue to increase in 2025 based on our expected capital investments.

For Oncor, rate base represents the total invested capital, as adjusted in accordance with PUCT rules, at the end of the previous calendar year as reported in the Earnings Monitoring Report filed with the PUCT on an annual basis. Oncor’s regulatory rate base as reported in these filings as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $23.1 billion and $20.7 billion, respectively. As calculated on a similar basis, its estimated regulatory rate base at December 31, 2024 was $26.6 billion. The increase in rate base reflects the significant capital investments that Oncor has made in its transmission and distribution system, and we expect rate base to continue to increase in 2025 based on Oncor’s expected capital investments.

DIVIDENDS PER SHARE ON SEMPRA COMMON STOCK
(As approved by our board of directors)

On February 24, 2025, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.645 per share on our common stock and a dividend of $24.375 per share on our series C preferred stock, both payable on April 15, 2025.

All declarations of dividends on our common stock and preferred stock are made at the discretion of the board of directors. While we view dividends as an integral component of shareholder return, the amount of future dividends will depend on earnings, cash flows, financial and legal requirements, and other relevant factors at that time. As a result, Sempra’s dividends on common stock and preferred stock declared on a historical basis may not be indicative of future declarations.

SDG&E

In 2024, 2023 and 2022, SDG&E paid common stock dividends to Enova Corporation and Enova Corporation paid corresponding dividends to Sempra of $225 million, $100 million and $100 million, respectively. SDG&E’s dividends on common stock declared on an annual historical basis may not be indicative of future declarations. Rather, SDG&E’s common stock dividends in the next few years may be impacted as available cash is used to maintain its authorized capital structure while supporting its capital investment program.

Enova Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra, owns all of SDG&E’s outstanding common stock. Accordingly, dividends paid by SDG&E to Enova Corporation and dividends paid by Enova Corporation to Sempra are eliminated in Sempra’s consolidated financial statements.

SoCalGas

In 2024 and 2023, SoCalGas paid common stock dividends to Pacific Enterprises and Pacific Enterprises paid corresponding dividends to Sempra of $200 million and $100 million, respectively. SoCalGas did not declare or pay common stock dividends in 2022. SoCalGas’ dividends on common stock declared on an annual historical basis may not be indicative of future declarations. Rather, SoCalGas’ common stock dividends in the next few years may be impacted as available cash is used to maintain its authorized capital structure while supporting its capital investment program.

Pacific Enterprises, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra, owns all of SoCalGas’ outstanding common stock. Accordingly, dividends paid by SoCalGas to Pacific Enterprises and dividends paid by Pacific Enterprises to Sempra are eliminated in Sempra’s consolidated financial statements.

Dividend Restrictions

The board of directors for each of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas has the discretion to determine whether to declare and, if declared, the amount of any dividends by each such entity. The CPUC’s regulation of SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ capital structures limits the amounts that are available for loans and dividends to Sempra. At December 31, 2024, based on these regulations, Sempra could have received combined loans and dividends of approximately $672 million from SDG&E and $457 million from SoCalGas. In addition, the terms of Sempra’s series C preferred stock limit Sempra’s ability to declare dividends on its common stock under certain circumstances.

We provide additional information about dividend restrictions in “Restricted Net Assets” in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Capitalization

Our total capitalization, which is the sum of total debt and equity, and our debt-to-capitalization ratio, which is calculated as total debt as a percentage of total capitalization, was as follows:

TOTAL CAPITALIZATION AND DEBT-TO-CAPITALIZATION RATIO

SDG&E21,04119,7965050
SoCalGas16,60215,1675151

In 2024 compared to 2023, Sempra’s total capitalization increased by $8.9 billion (14%) due to:

▪increase in long-term debt

▪increase in equity primarily from comprehensive income exceeding dividends, issuances of common stock and contributions from NCI

Offset by:

▪decrease in short-term debt

▪distributions to NCI

In 2024 compared to 2023, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ total capitalization increased by $1.2 billion (6%) and $1.4 billion (9%), respectively, due to increases in equity from comprehensive income exceeding dividends and increases in debt.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Management views the accounting estimates that we describe below as critical because their application is the most relevant, judgmental and/or material to our financial position and results of operations, and/or because they require the use of material judgments and estimates. We discuss critical accounting estimates that are material to our financial statements with the Audit Committee of Sempra’s board of directors.

REGULATORY ACCOUNTING

Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas

As regulated entities, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ customer rates, as set and monitored by regulators, are designed to recover the cost of providing service and to provide the opportunity to realize their authorized rates of return on their investments. SDG&E and SoCalGas assess probabilities of future rate recovery associated with regulatory account balances at the end of each reporting period and whenever new and/or unusual events occur, such as:

▪changes in the regulatory and political environment or the utility’s competitive position

▪issuance of a regulatory commission order

▪passage of new legislation

2024 Form 10-K | 101

Table of Contents

To the extent that circumstances associated with regulatory balances change, the regulatory balances are evaluated and adjusted if appropriate.

Significant management judgment is required to evaluate the anticipated recovery of regulatory assets and revenues subject to refund, as well as the existence and amount of regulatory liabilities. Adverse regulatory or legislative actions could materially impact the amounts of our regulatory assets and liabilities and could materially adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. Specifically, if future recovery of costs ceases to be probable, all or part of the associated regulatory assets would need to be written off against current period earnings, or adverse regulatory or legislative actions could give rise to material new or higher regulatory liabilities. We discuss details of SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ regulatory assets and liabilities and additional factors that management considers when assessing probabilities associated with regulatory balances in Notes 1, 4, 14 and 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

INCOME TAXES

Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas

Our income tax expense and related balance sheet amounts involve significant management judgments and estimates. Amounts of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, as well as current and noncurrent accruals, involve judgments and estimates of the timing and probability of recognition of income and deductions by taxing authorities. When we evaluate the anticipated resolution of income tax issues, we consider:

▪ past resolutions of the same issue or similar issues

▪ the status of any income tax examination in progress

▪ positions taken by taxing authorities with other taxpayers with similar issues

The likelihood of deferred income tax recovery is based on analyses of the deferred income tax assets and our expectation of future taxable income, based on our strategic planning. Should a change in facts or circumstances lead to a change in judgment about the ultimate realizability of a deferred tax asset, we would record or adjust the related valuation allowance in the period that the change in facts and circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding increase or decrease in the provision for income taxes.

Actual income taxes could vary from estimated amounts because of:

▪ future impacts of various items, including changes in tax laws, regulations, interpretations and rulings

▪ our financial condition in future periods

▪ the resolution of various income tax issues between us and taxing and regulatory authorities

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 results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We discuss these matters and additional information related to accounting for income taxes, including uncertainty in income taxes, in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

PENSION AND PBOP PLANS

Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas

To measure our pension and PBOP obligations, costs and liabilities, we rely on several assumptions. We consider current market conditions, including interest rates, in making these assumptions. We review these assumptions annually and update when appropriate.

The critical assumptions used to develop the required estimates include the following key factors:

▪discount rates

▪expected return on plan assets

▪health care cost trend rates

▪interest crediting rate on cash balance accounts

▪mortality rate

▪rate of compensation increases

▪termination and retirement rates

2024 Form 10-K | 102

Table of Contents

▪utilization of postretirement welfare benefits

▪payout elections (lump sum or annuity)

▪lump sum interest rates

The actuarial assumptions we use may differ materially from actual results due to:

▪return on plan assets

▪changing market and economic conditions

▪higher or lower withdrawal rates

▪longer or shorter participant life spans

▪more or fewer lump sum versus annuity payout elections made by plan participants

▪higher or lower retirement rates

Changes in the estimated costs or timing of pension and PBOP, or the assumptions and judgments used by management underlying these estimates (primarily the discount rate and expected return on plan assets), as well as changes in the circumstances associated with rate recovery, could have a material effect on the recorded expenses and liabilities. The following tables summarize the impact to our projected benefit obligation for pension and accumulated benefit obligation for PBOP at December 31, 2024, and 2024 net periodic benefit costs, in each case if the discount rate or expected return on plan assets were changed by 1%.

For SDG&E and SoCalGas plans, the effects of the assumptions on earnings are expected to be recovered in rates and therefore are offset in regulatory accounts. We provide details of our pension and PBOP plans in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

SONGS ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

Sempra, SDG&E

SDG&E’s legal AROs related to the decommissioning of SONGS are estimated based on a site-specific study performed no less than every three years. The estimate of the obligations includes:

▪ estimated decommissioning costs, including labor, equipment, material and other disposal costs

▪ inflation adjustment applied to estimated cash flows

▪ discount rate based on a credit-adjusted risk-free rate

▪ actual decommissioning costs, progress to date and expected duration of decommissioning activities

2024 Form 10-K | 103

Table of Contents

SDG&E’s nuclear decommissioning expenses are subject to rate recovery and, therefore, rate-making accounting treatment is applied to SDG&E’s nuclear decommissioning activities. SDG&E recognizes a regulatory asset, or liability, to the extent that its SONGS ARO exceeds, or is less than, the amount collected from customers and the amount earned in SDG&E’s NDT.

SDG&E’s ARO related to the decommissioning of SONGS was $471 million as of December 31, 2024, based on the decommissioning cost study prepared in 2024. Changes in the estimated costs, execution strategy or timing of decommissioning, or in the assumptions and judgments by management underlying these estimates, could cause material revisions to the estimated total cost to decommission this facility, which could have a material effect on the recorded liability.

The following table illustrates the increase to SDG&E’s and Sempra’s ARO liability if the cost escalation rate was adjusted while leaving all other assumptions constant:

INCREASE TO ARO AND REGULATORY ASSET
(Dollars in millions)
December 31, 2024

The increase in the ARO liability driven by an increase in the cost escalation rate would result in a decrease in the regulatory liability for recoveries in excess of ARO liabilities. We provide additional detail in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Sempra

Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable, we consider if the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. If so, we estimate the fair value of the asset to determine the extent to which carrying value exceeds fair value. For such an estimate, we may consider data from multiple valuation methods, including data from market participants. We exercise judgment to estimate the future cash flows and the useful life of a long-lived asset and to determine our intent to use the asset. Our intent to use or dispose of a long-lived asset is subject to re-evaluation and can change over time. If such an impairment test is required, the fair value of a long-lived asset can vary if differing estimates and assumptions are used in the valuation techniques applied as indicated by changing market or other conditions. Critical assumptions that affect our estimates of fair value may include:

▪consideration of market transactions

▪future cash flows

▪the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate, including the impacts of country risk and entity risk

We discuss impairment of long-lived assets in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF GOODWILL

Sempra

When determining if goodwill is impaired, the fair value of the reporting unit can vary if differing estimates and assumptions are used in the valuation techniques applied as indicated by changing market or other conditions. As a result, recognizing a goodwill impairment may or may not be required. When we perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test, we exercise judgment to develop estimates of the fair value of the reporting unit and compare that to its carrying value. Our fair value estimates are developed from the perspective of a knowledgeable market participant. We consider observable transactions in the marketplace for similar investments, if available, as well as an income-based approach such as a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis may be based directly on anticipated future revenues and expenses and may be performed based on free cash flows generated within the reporting unit. Critical assumptions that affect our estimates of fair value may include:

▪consideration of market transactions

▪future cash flows

▪projected revenue and expense growth rates

▪the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate, including the impacts of country risk, customer creditworthiness and entity risk

2024 Form 10-K | 104

Table of Contents

Historically, we determined based on a quantitative goodwill impairment test that the estimated fair values of our reporting units in Mexico, to which goodwill was allocated, were substantially above their respective carrying values as of October 1, our annual goodwill impairment testing date. Upon performing a qualitative analysis as of October 1, 2024, we determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of such reporting units was less than their respective carrying values. Our goodwill impairment test is determined based on assumptions existing as of that point in time. Changes in the business (such as loss of future cash flows from customer disputes, renegotiation of customer contracts or the macroeconomic environment, including rising interest rates) may result in us having to perform an interim goodwill impairment test, which could result in an impairment of our goodwill.

OVERVIEW

This combined MD&A includes the operational and financial results of the following three Registrants:

▪Sempra is a California-based holding company with energy infrastructure investments in North America. Our businesses invest in, develop and operate energy infrastructure, and provide electric and gas services to customers.

▪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.

▪SoCalGas is a regulated public natural gas distribution utility, serving customers throughout most of Southern California and part of central California.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, Sempra realigned its reportable segments to reflect changes in how the CODM oversees our three platforms: Sempra California, Sempra Texas Utilities and Sempra Infrastructure. Our former SDG&E and SoCalGas reportable segments were combined into one operating and reportable segment, Sempra California, which is consistent with how the CODM assesses performance due to the similarities of their operations, including geographic location and regulatory framework in California.

Sempra’s historical segment disclosures have been restated to conform with the current presentation, so that all discussions reflect the revised segment information of its three reportable segments:

▪Sempra California

▪Sempra Texas Utilities

▪Sempra Infrastructure

SDG&E and SoCalGas each has one reportable segment.

Our 2023 operational and financial results reflect our mission to be North America’s premier energy infrastructure company. Key events in 2023 include:

▪Sempra celebrated its 25th anniversary

▪Our company changed its legal name from Sempra Energy to Sempra

▪We completed the offering of 17,142,858 shares of Sempra’s common stock at a public offering price of $70.00 per share, pursuant to forward sale agreements

▪The CCM was triggered and approved for SDG&E and SoCalGas, which increases each company’s respective ROE by 70 bps effective January 1, 2024

▪The CPUC authorized an increase to the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility’s capacity from 41.16 Bcf to 68.6 Bcf

▪Oncor received a final order from the PUCT on its comprehensive base rate review

2023 Form 10-K | 59

▪Sempra Infrastructure reached a final investment decision and started construction on the PA LNG Phase 1 project and Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector and Louisiana Storage projects

▪SI Partners completed the sales of a 30% and 42% NCI in the PA LNG Phase 1 project to ConocoPhillips and KKR Denali, respectively

▪We invested $8.8 billion in capital expenditures and investments

On August 2, 2023, Sempra’s board of directors declared a two-for-one split of Sempra’s common stock in the form of a 100% stock dividend for shareholders of record at the close of business on August 14, 2023. Sempra’s common stock began trading on a post-split basis effective August 22, 2023. Except as expressly noted, all share and per share information related to issued and outstanding common stock has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split and is presented on a post-split basis herein.

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 Consolidated Financial Statements.

In 2023 compared to 2022, the increase in earnings of $233 million (15%) was primarily due to:

•$199 million charge in 2022 relating to litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak

•$39 million higher net regulatory interest income

•$37 million higher income tax benefits primarily from flow-through items, which includes $25 million related to income tax benefits in 2023 for previously unrecognized income tax benefits pertaining to gas repairs expenditures

•$30 million higher CPUC base operating margin, net of operating expenses and $46 million from lower authorized cost of capital

▪$21 million higher electric transmission margin

▪$13 million higher regulatory awards approved by the CPUC

▪$10 million in penalties in 2022 related to energy efficiency and advocacy OSCs

Offset by:

▪$90 million higher net interest expense

▪$16 million lower income tax benefit from the resolution of prior year income tax items

In 2022 compared to 2021, the increase in earnings of $1.1 billion was primarily due to:

▪$949 million decrease in charges relating to litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak comprised of a $199 million charge in 2022 compared to $1,148 million in 2021

▪$161 million higher CPUC base operating margin, net of operating expenses

▪$21 million lower net income tax expense primarily from flow-through items, net of lower associated regulatory revenues

▪$20 million higher income tax benefit from the resolution of prior year income tax items

▪$15 million higher net regulatory interest income

▪$14 million higher AFUDC equity

Offset by:

▪$52 million higher net interest expense

▪$10 million in penalties in 2022 related to energy efficiency and advocacy OSCs

Sempra Texas Utilities

In 2023 compared to 2022, the decrease in earnings of $42 million (6%) was primarily due to lower equity earnings from Oncor Holdings driven by:

▪higher interest expense and depreciation expense attributable to invested capital

▪higher O&M

▪write-off of rate base disallowances in 2023 resulting from the PUCT’s final order in Oncor’s comprehensive base rate review

Offset by:

▪higher revenues attributable to:

◦rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital

In 2022 compared to 2021, the decrease in earnings of $372 million was primarily due to:

▪$431 million from asset and supply optimization driven by $283 million losses in 2022 compared to $148 million earnings in 2021 driven by higher unrealized losses on commodity derivatives due to changes in natural gas prices, offset by higher diversion fees

▪$169 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico, net of foreign currency derivative effects, comprised of a $216 million unfavorable impact in 2022 compared to a $47 million unfavorable impact in 2021

Offset by:

▪$79 million higher equity earnings from Cameron LNG JV primarily from higher revenues from excess LNG production and maintenance revenues

▪$50 million higher net income tax benefit primarily from the remeasurement of certain deferred income taxes and outside basis differences in JV investments

▪$50 million lower net interest expense, including $37 million in charges associated with hedge termination costs and a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs from the early redemptions of debt in October 2021 and $27 million net unrealized gains in 2022 on a contingent interest rate swap related to the proposed PA LNG Phase 1 project

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN REVENUES AND COSTS

The regulatory framework permits SoCalGas and SDG&E to recover certain program expenditures and other costs authorized by the CPUC (referred to as “refundable programs”).

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 Consolidated Statements of Operations.

SoCalGas and SDG&E operate under a regulatory framework that permits the cost of natural gas purchased for customers (residential and small commercial and industrial customers, also referred to as core customers for SoCalGas) 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.

Utilities: Electric Revenues and Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power

Our utilities revenues include electric revenues at Sempra California, substantially all of which is at SDG&E. Intercompany revenues are eliminated in Sempra’s 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.

Pretax income$3,260$2,009$833
Effective income tax rate15%28%12%

(1)    We discuss how we recognize equity earnings in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

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.

Under the IRA, in 2023, the scope of projects eligible for investment tax credits was expanded to include standalone energy storage projects. The IRA also provided an election that permits investment tax credits 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 this election, Sempra recorded an income tax benefit of $142 million for these investment tax credits, offset by a regulatory liability, which reduced Sempra’s ETR in 2023.

In April 2023, the IRS issued Revenue Procedure 2023-15, which provides a safe harbor method of accounting for gas repairs expenditures. Sempra intends to elect this change in tax accounting method in its 2023 income tax return filing and has recorded an estimated income tax benefit of $131 million in 2023. Additionally, Sempra 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 recorded associated regulatory liabilities for the portion of these benefits that will be flowed through to customers in the future.

In 2023 compared to 2022, Sempra’s income tax expense decreased by $66 million (12%) primarily due to:

▪$142 million income tax benefit in 2023 from the recognition of investment tax credits from standalone energy storage projects

▪$120 million deferred income tax expense in 2022 associated with the change in our indefinite reinvestment assertion related to our foreign subsidiaries

▪higher income tax benefits from flow-through items, including a $131 million benefit for the election to change the tax accounting method under Revenue Procedure 2023-15

▪$112 million lower income tax expense in 2023 attributable to NCI’s share of higher U.S. partnerships’ pretax income

▪$43 million income tax benefit in 2023 from the recognition of previously unrecognized income tax benefits pertaining to gas repairs expenditures

Offset by:

▪higher pretax income

▪$114 million from $283 million income tax expense in 2023 compared to $169 million income tax expense in 2022 from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico

▪$60 million income tax benefit in 2022 associated with charges relating to litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak

▪$165 million from $169 million income tax expense in 2022 compared to $4 million income tax expense in 2021 from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico and associated derivatives

▪$120 million deferred income tax expense associated with the change in our indefinite reinvestment assertion related to our foreign subsidiaries

Equity Earnings

In 2023 compared to 2022, Sempra’s equity earnings decreased by $17 million (1%) remaining at $1.5 billion primarily due to:

▪$73 million at Cameron LNG JV due to lower revenues from excess LNG and higher interest expense

▪$41 million at Oncor Holdings driven by:

◦higher interest expense and depreciation expense attributable to invested capital

◦higher O&M

◦write-off of rate base disallowances in 2023 resulting from the PUCT’s final order in Oncor’s comprehensive base rate review

Offset by:

◦higher revenues attributable to:

•rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital

•increases in transmission billing units

•new base rates implemented in May 2023

•customer growth

Offset by:

•lower customer consumption primarily attributable to weather

▪$28 million at IMG due to higher interest expense and foreign currency effects, including $11 million foreign currency gains in 2022 on IMG’s Mexican peso-denominated loans from its JV owners, which is fully offset in other income, net

Offset by:

▪$85 million at TAG Norte due to higher revenues, including the cumulative impact of new tariffs going into effect in June 2023, offset by higher income tax expense

▪$40 million related to our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities based on a legal settlement

2023 Form 10-K | 71

Table of Contents

In 2022 compared to 2021, Sempra’s equity earnings increased by $155 million (12%) to $1.5 billion primarily due to:

▪$118 million at Oncor Holdings due to:

◦higher revenues from rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital

◦higher customer consumption attributable primarily to weather and customer growth

Offset by:

◦higher depreciation expense and interest expense attributable to invested capital

◦higher O&M

▪$100 million at Cameron LNG JV primarily due to excess LNG production and maintenance revenues

▪$50 million in 2021 related to our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities to settle pending VAT matters and related legal costs

▪$15 million at IMG due to higher income tax expense and foreign currency effects, including $12 million lower foreign currency gains on IMG’s Mexican peso-denominated loans from its JV owners, which is fully offset in other income, net, offset by lower interest expense

Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

In 2023 compared to 2022, Sempra’s earnings attributable to NCI increased by $397 million to $543 million primarily due to:

▪$310 million increase due to an increase in SI Partners’ net income

▪$87 million increase as a result of a decrease in our ownership interest in SI Partners and SI Partners subsidiaries

In 2022 compared to 2021, Sempra’s earnings attributable to NCI increased by $1 million (1%) to $146 million primarily due to:

▪$120 million increase as a result of a decrease in our ownership interest in SI Partners offset by an increase in our ownership interest in IEnova

Offset by:

▪$121 million decrease due to a decrease in SI Partners subsidiaries net income

Preferred Dividends

In 2022 compared to 2021, preferred dividends decreased by $19 million to $44 million due to the conversion of all series B preferred stock in July 2021.

IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION RATES ON RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Because our natural gas distribution utility in Mexico, Ecogas, uses its local currency as its functional currency, its revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates for the period for consolidation in Sempra’s results of operations.

Foreign Currency Translation

Any difference in average exchange rates used for the translation of income statement activity from year to year can cause a variance in Sempra’s comparative results of operations. The change in our earnings as a result of foreign currency translation rates was higher by $3 million in 2023 compared to 2022 and negligible in 2022 compared to 2021.

Transactional Impacts

Although the financial statements of most of our Mexican subsidiaries and JVs have the U.S. dollar as the functional currency, some transactions may be denominated in the local currency; such transactions are remeasured into U.S. dollars. This remeasurement creates transactional gains and losses that are included in other income, net, for our consolidated entities and in equity earnings for our JVs.

We may utilize cross-currency swaps that 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. The impacts of these cross-currency swaps are offset in OCI and are reclassified from AOCI into earnings through other income, net, and interest expense as settlements occur.

2023 Form 10-K | 72

Table of Contents

Certain of our Mexican pipelines (namely Los Ramones I and San Fernando at IEnova Pipelines and Los Ramones Norte at TAG Pipelines) generate revenue based on tariffs that are set by government agencies in Mexico, with contracts denominated in Mexican pesos that are indexed to the U.S. dollar, adjusted annually for inflation and fluctuation in the exchange rate. The resultant gains and losses from remeasuring the local currency amounts into U.S. dollars and the offsetting settlement of foreign currency forwards and swaps related to these contracts are included in revenues: energy-related businesses or equity earnings.

Income statement activities at our foreign operations and their JVs are also impacted by transactional gains and losses, a summary of which is shown in the table below:

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate and Inflation Impacts on Income Taxes and Related Hedging Activity

Our Mexican subsidiaries have U.S. dollar-denominated cash balances, receivables, payables and debt (monetary assets and liabilities) that are affected by Mexican currency exchange rate movements for Mexican income tax purposes. They also have significant deferred income tax assets and liabilities denominated in the Mexican peso that 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. As a result, fluctuations in both the currency exchange rate for the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar and Mexican inflation may expose us to fluctuations in income tax expense, other income, net, and equity earnings. We may use foreign currency derivatives as a means to help manage exposure to the currency exchange rate on our monetary assets and liabilities, and this derivative activity impacts other income, net. However, we generally do not hedge our deferred income tax assets and liabilities, which makes us susceptible to volatility in income tax expense caused by exchange rate fluctuations and inflation.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN REVENUES AND COSTS

Natural Gas Revenues and Cost of Natural Gas

SoCalGas’ average cost of natural gas per thousand cubic feet was $10.47 in 2023 and $7.48 in 2022. The average cost of natural gas sold at SoCalGas is impacted by market prices, as well as transportation and other charges.

In 2023 compared to 2022, SoCalGas’ natural gas revenues increased by $1.4 billion (21%) to $8.3 billion primarily due to:

▪$1.0 billion increase in cost of natural gas sold, which we discuss below

▪$385 million higher revenues associated with refundable programs, which are fully offset in O&M

▪$98 million higher CPUC-authorized revenues

▪$38 million higher non-service components of net periodic benefit cost, which fully offsets in other expense, net

▪$19 million higher franchise fee revenues

▪$18 million higher regulatory awards approved by the CPUC

Offset by:

▪$127 million lower regulatory revenues in 2023 from the election to change the tax accounting method under Revenue Procedure 2023-15, which are offset in income tax benefit (expense)

▪$26 million lower regulatory revenues in 2023 from the recognition of previously unrecognized income tax benefits pertaining to gas repairs expenditures, which are offset in income tax benefit (expense)

In 2023 compared to 2022, SoCalGas’ cost of natural gas increased by $1.0 billion (46%) to $3.3 billion primarily due to:

▪$931 million higher average natural gas prices

▪$100 million higher volumes driven by weather

Operation and Maintenance

In 2023 compared to 2022, SoCalGas’ O&M increased by $419 million (17%) to $2.8 billion primarily due to:

▪$385 million higher expenses associated with refundable programs, which costs incurred are recovered in revenue

▪$34 million higher non-refundable operating costs

Aliso Canyon Litigation and Regulatory Matters

In 2022, SoCalGas recorded charges of $259 million relating to litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak.

Other Expense, Net

In 2023 compared to 2022, SoCalGas’ other expense, net, decreased by $4 million to $4 million primarily due to:

▪$29 million higher net interest income on regulatory balancing accounts primarily due to higher commercial paper rates

▪$10 million in penalties in 2022 related to energy efficiency and advocacy OSCs

Offset by:

▪$38 million higher non-service components of net periodic benefit cost

Interest Expense

In 2023 compared to 2022, SoCalGas’ interest expense increased by $87 million (44%) to $285 million primarily from higher debt balances from debt issuances and higher interest rates.

In April 2023, the IRS issued Revenue Procedure 2023-15, which provides a safe harbor method of accounting for gas repairs expenditures. SoCalGas intends to elect this change in tax accounting method in Sempra’s consolidated 2023 income tax return filing and has recorded an estimated income tax benefit of $97 million 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. SoCalGas recorded associated regulatory liabilities for the portion of these benefits that will be flowed through to customers in the future.

SoCalGas’ had an income tax benefit in 2023 compared to income tax expense in 2022 primarily due to:

▪higher income tax benefits from flow-through items, including $97 million income tax benefit for the election to change the tax accounting method under Revenue Procedure 2023-15

▪$43 million income tax benefit in 2023 from the recognition of previously unrecognized income tax benefits pertaining to gas repairs expenditures

▪lower pretax income in 2023 compared to 2022 (before charges in 2022 relating to litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak)

Offset by:

▪$60 million income tax benefit in 2022 associated with charges relating to litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

OVERVIEW

Sempra

Liquidity

We expect to meet our cash requirements through cash flows from operations, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under or supported by our credit facilities, other incurrences of debt which may include issuing debt securities and obtaining term loans, and other financing transactions which may include issuing equity securities, distributions from our equity method investments, project financing and funding from NCI owners. We believe that these cash flow sources, combined with available funds, will be adequate to fund our operations in both the short-term and long-term, including to:

▪finance capital expenditures

▪repay debt

▪fund dividends

▪fund contractual and other obligations and otherwise meet liquidity requirements

▪fund capital contribution requirements

▪fund new business or asset acquisitions or start-ups

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas currently have reasonable access to the money markets and capital markets and are not currently constrained in their ability to borrow or otherwise raise money at market rates from commercial banks, under existing revolving credit facilities, through public offerings of debt or equity securities, or through private placements of debt supported by our revolving credit facilities in the case of commercial paper. However, our ability to access these markets or obtain credit from commercial banks outside of our committed revolving credit facilities could become materially constrained if economic conditions worsen or disruptions to or volatility in these markets increase. Debt funding has become less attractive due to the recent rise in both short-term and long-term interest rates. In addition, our financing activities and actions by credit rating agencies, as well as many other factors, could negatively affect the availability and cost of both short-term and long-term debt and equity financing. Also, cash flows from operations may be impacted by the timing of commencement and completion of, and potentially cost overruns for, large projects and other material events, such as the settlement of material litigation. If cash flows from operations were to be significantly reduced or we were unable to borrow or obtain other financing under acceptable terms, we would likely first reduce or postpone discretionary capital expenditures (not related to safety/reliability) and investments in new businesses. We monitor our ability to finance the needs of our operating, investing and financing activities in a manner consistent with our goal to maintain our investment-grade credit ratings.

Common Stock Offering and Forward Sale Agreements

As we discuss in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, our offering of Sempra common stock completed in November 2023 provided initial net proceeds of $144 million upon the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option to purchase additional shares of our common stock. We did not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock pursuant to the forward sale agreements entered into in connection with the offering. The forward sale agreements permit us to elect, subject to certain conditions, physical settlement, cash settlement or net share settlement for all or a portion of our obligations under the agreements. We expect to settle the forward sale agreements entirely by delivery of shares of our common stock under physical settlement in exchange for cash proceeds in one or more settlements no later than December 31, 2024, which is the final settlement date under the agreements. As of February 27, 2024, at the initial forward sale price of $68.845 per share, we expect that the net proceeds from full physical settlement of the forward sale agreements would be approximately $1.2 billion (net of underwriting discounts, but before deducting equity issuance costs, and subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the forward sale agreements). If we were to elect cash settlement or net share settlement instead of physical settlement, the amount of cash proceeds we receive upon settlement would be less, perhaps substantially, or we may not receive any cash proceeds or we may deliver cash (in an amount that could be significant) or shares of our common stock to the forward purchasers under the forward sale agreements.

We used the initial net proceeds from this offering, and we expect to use any net proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to the forward sale agreements, to fund working capital and for other general corporate purposes, including to partly finance our long-term capital plan and to repay commercial paper and potentially other indebtedness.

Available Funds

Our committed lines of credit provide liquidity and support commercial paper. Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas each have five-year credit agreements expiring in 2028 and Sempra Infrastructure has four committed lines of credit expiring on various dates from 2025 through 2030, and an uncommitted revolving credit facility expiring in 2024.

(2)    Available unused credit is the total available on committed and uncommitted lines of credit that we discuss in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Because our commercial paper programs are supported by these lines, we reflect the amount of commercial paper outstanding and any letters of credit outstanding as a reduction to the available unused credit.

Short-Term Borrowings

We use short-term debt primarily to meet liquidity requirements, fund shareholder dividends, and temporarily finance capital expenditures, acquisitions or start-ups. SDG&E and SoCalGas use short-term debt primarily to meet working capital needs or to help fund event-specific costs. Commercial paper and lines of credit were our primary sources of short-term debt funding in 2023.

We discuss our short-term debt activities in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and below in “Sources and Uses of Cash.”

At December 31, 2023, Sempra expects to make interest payments on long-term debt totaling $19.4 billion, of which $1.2 billion is expected to be paid in 2024 and $18.2 billion is expected to be paid in subsequent years through 2079. At December 31, 2023, SDG&E expects to make interest payments on long-term debt totaling $6.0 billion, of which $340 million is expected to be paid in 2024 and $5.7 billion is expected to be paid in subsequent years through 2053. At December 31, 2023, SoCalGas expects to make interest payments on long-term debt totaling $4.7 billion, of which $278 million is expected to be paid in 2024 and $4.5 billion is expected to be paid in subsequent years through 2053. We calculate expected interest payments using the stated interest rate for fixed-rate obligations, including floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. We calculate expected interest payments for variable-rate obligations based on forecasted rates in effect at December 31, 2023.

We discuss our long-term debt activities, including the use of proceeds on long-term debt issuances, and maturities in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Credit Ratings

The credit ratings of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas remained at investment grade levels in 2023.

CREDIT RATINGS AT DECEMBER 31, 2023
SempraSDG&ESoCalGas
Moody’sBaa2 with a stable outlookA3 with a stable outlookA2 with a stable outlook
S&PBBB+ with a stable outlookBBB+ with a stable outlookA with a negative outlook
FitchBBB+ with a stable outlookBBB+ with a stable outlookA with a stable outlook

A downgrade of Sempra’s or any of its subsidiaries’ credit ratings or rating outlooks may, depending on the severity, result in the imposition of financial or other burdensome covenants or a requirement for collateral to be posted in the case of certain financing arrangements and may materially and adversely affect the market prices of their equity and debt securities, the rates at which borrowings are made and commercial paper is issued, and the various fees on their outstanding credit facilities. This could make it more costly for Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra’s other subsidiaries to issue debt securities, to borrow under credit facilities and to raise certain other types of financing. We provide additional information about our credit ratings at Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Sempra has agreed that, if the credit rating of 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. Oncor’s senior secured debt was rated A2, A+ and A at Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, at December 31, 2023.

Table of Contents

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas have committed lines of credit to provide liquidity and to support commercial paper. Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at benchmark rates plus a margin that varies with market index rates and each borrower’s credit rating. Each facility also requires a commitment fee on available unused credit that may be impacted by each borrower’s credit rating. For example, assuming a one-notch downgrade:

▪If Sempra were to experience a ratings downgrade from its current level, the rate at which borrowings bear interest would increase by 25 bps. The commitment fee on available unused credit would also increase 5 bps.

▪If SDG&E were to experience a ratings downgrade from its current level, the rate at which borrowings bear interest would increase by 12.5 bps. The commitment fee on available unused credit would also increase 5 bps.

▪If SoCalGas were to experience a ratings downgrade from its current level, the rate at which borrowings bear interest would increase by 12.5 bps. The commitment fee on available unused credit would also increase 2.5 bps.

Sempra’s, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ credit ratings also may affect their respective credit limits related to derivative instruments, as we discuss in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loans to/from Affiliates

At December 31, 2023, Sempra had $312 million in loans due to unconsolidated affiliates.

Postretirement Benefits

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas have significant investments in several trusts to provide for future payments of pensions and PBOP. The trusts’ ability to make ongoing required benefit payments has not been materially adversely affected by changes in asset values, which are dependent on market fluctuations, contributions and withdrawals. However, changes in asset values or other factors in future periods (such as changes to discount rates, assumed rates of return, mortality tables and regulations) may impact funding requirements for pension and PBOP plans. Additionally, contributions to our plans are based on our funding policy, which generally limits payments from exceeding plan assets of 110% of the projected benefit obligation, which are subject to maximum income tax deduction limitations. Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas expect to contribute $265 million, $37 million and $174 million, respectively, to pension and PBOP plans in 2024 and $1.8 billion, $564 million and $983 million, respectively, in the nine years thereafter. At SDG&E and SoCalGas, funding requirements are generally recoverable in rates. We discuss our employee benefit plans and our expected contributions to those plans in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

The IRA was signed into law in August 2022. The IRA includes tax credits and other incentives for energy and climate initiatives and introduces a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on adjusted financial statement income for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. We do not currently expect the IRA to have a material adverse impact on Sempra’s, SDG&E’s or SoCalGas’ results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. We will continue to assess the impacts of the IRA on Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas as the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS issue guidance on tax implementation, and the EPA and DOE issue guidance on energy and climate initiatives.

Minimum Tax Directive

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has introduced a framework to implement a global minimum corporate tax of 15%, referred to as the “minimum tax directive.” Many aspects of the minimum tax directive will become effective beginning in 2024. While it is uncertain whether the U.S. will enact legislation to adopt the minimum tax directive, other countries are in the process of introducing and enacting legislation to implement the minimum tax directive. We do not currently expect the minimum tax directive to have a material effect on Sempra’s, SDG&E’s or SoCalGas’ results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

Sempra California

SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ operations have historically provided relatively stable earnings and liquidity. Their future performance and liquidity will depend primarily on the ratemaking and regulatory process, environmental regulations, economic conditions, actions by legislatures, litigation and the changing energy marketplace, as well as other matters described in this report. SDG&E and SoCalGas expect that the available unused funds from their credit facilities described above, which also supports their commercial paper programs, cash flows from operations, and other incurrences of debt including issuing debt securities and obtaining term loans will continue to be adequate to fund their respective current operations and planned capital expenditures. SDG&E and SoCalGas manage their capital structures and pay dividends when appropriate and as approved by their respective boards of directors.

2023 Form 10-K | 81

Table of Contents

The impact and duration of suspending collections processes during the COVID-19 pandemic, 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. This in turn has resulted in an increase in provisions for expected credit losses in the year ended December 31, 2023 for both companies, even as collections processes resume and past due payments potentially begin increasing. 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. Although SDG&E and SoCalGas have regulatory mechanisms to recover credit losses, delay in payments by customers impact the timing of cash flows.

As we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, changes in regulatory balancing accounts for significant costs at SDG&E and SoCalGas, particularly a change between over- and undercollected status, may have a significant impact on cash flows. These changes generally represent the difference between when costs are incurred and when they are ultimately recovered or refunded in rates through billings to customers.

SDG&E

Wildfire Fund

The carrying value of SDG&E’s Wildfire Fund asset totaled $297 million at December 31, 2023. We describe the Wildfire Legislation and SDG&E’s commitment to make annual shareholder contributions to the Wildfire Fund through 2028 in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

SDG&E is exposed to the risk that the participating California electric IOUs may incur third-party wildfire costs for which they will seek recovery from the Wildfire Fund with respect to wildfires that have occurred since enactment of the Wildfire Legislation in July 2019. In such a situation, SDG&E may recognize a reduction of its Wildfire Fund asset and record accelerated amortization against earnings when available coverage is reduced due to recoverable claims from any of the participating IOUs, as was the case in 2023 after PG&E indicated that it will seek reimbursement from the Wildfire Fund for losses associated with the Dixie Fire, which burned from July 2021 through October 2021 and was reported to be the largest single wildfire (measured by acres burned) in California history. If any California electric IOU’s equipment is determined to be a cause of a fire, it could have a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra’s financial condition and results of operations up to the carrying value of our Wildfire Fund asset, with additional potential material exposure if SDG&E’s equipment is determined to be a cause of a fire. In addition, the Wildfire Fund could be completely exhausted due to fires in the other California electric IOUs’ service territories, by fires in SDG&E’s service territory or by a combination thereof. In the event that the Wildfire Fund is materially diminished, exhausted or terminated, SDG&E will lose the protection afforded by the Wildfire Fund, and as a consequence, a fire in SDG&E’s service territory could have a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Wildfire Mitigation Cost Recovery Mechanism

In October 2023, SDG&E submitted a separate request to the CPUC in its 2024 GRC describing $2.2 billion in costs to implement its wildfire mitigation plans from 2019 through 2022, and seeking review and recovery of the incremental wildfire mitigation plan costs incurred during that period, totaling $1.5 billion. SDG&E expects to receive a proposed decision on this request in late 2024. In February 2024, the CPUC approved an interim cost recovery mechanism that would permit SDG&E to recover in rates $194 million of its wildfire mitigation plan regulatory account balance in 2024 and, if a recovery mechanism is not in place by January 1, 2025, an additional $96 million in 2025. Such recovery of SDG&E’s wildfire mitigation plan regulatory account balance will be subject to reasonableness review. SDG&E also expects to submit a separate request for review and recovery of its 2023 wildfire mitigation plan costs in late 2024.

SONGS Decommissioning

SDG&E has significant investments in the SONGS NDT to provide for future payments of nuclear decommissioning. The NDT’s ability to make ongoing required payments has not been materially or adversely affected by changes in asset values, which are dependent on market fluctuations, contributions and withdrawals. However, asset values could be materially and adversely affected by future activity in the equity and fixed income markets, and changes in the estimated decommissioning costs, or in the assumptions and judgments made by management underlying these estimates, could cause revisions to the estimated total cost

associated with retiring the assets. Funding requirements are generally recoverable in rates. We discuss SDG&E’s NDT and its expected SONGS decommissioning payments in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

SDG&E has entered into PPAs and tolling agreements that are variable interests in unconsolidated entities. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

SoCalGas

Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak

From October 23, 2015 through February 11, 2016, SoCalGas experienced the Leak, which we discuss in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Accounting and Other Impacts. At December 31, 2023, $31 million is accrued in Reserve for Aliso Canyon Costs and $2 million is accrued in Deferred Credits and Other on SoCalGas’ and Sempra’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. These accruals do not include any amounts in excess of what has been reasonably estimated to resolve certain matters that we describe in “Legal Proceedings – SoCalGas – Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak – Litigation” in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, nor any amounts that may be necessary to resolve threatened litigation, other potential litigation or other costs. We are not able to reasonably estimate the possible loss or a range of possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued, which could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Natural Gas Storage Operations and Reliability. Natural gas withdrawn from storage is important to help maintain service reliability during peak demand periods, including consumer heating needs in the winter and peak electric generation needs in the summer. The Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility is the largest SoCalGas storage facility and an important component of SoCalGas’ delivery system. In February 2017, the CPUC opened proceeding SB 380 OII to determine the feasibility of minimizing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility while still maintaining energy and electric reliability for the region, including analyzing alternative means for meeting or avoiding the demand for the facility’s services if it were eliminated.

At December 31, 2023, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility had a net book value of $1.0 billion. If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were to be permanently closed or if future cash flows from its operation were otherwise insufficient to recover its carrying value, we may record an impairment of the facility, which could be material, incur materially higher than expected operating costs and/or be required to make material additional capital expenditures (any or all of which may not be recoverable in rates), and natural gas reliability and electric generation could be jeopardized.

Franchise Agreement

SoCalGas’ Los Angeles County franchise initially expired in June 2023 and the subsequent extension expired in December 2023. SoCalGas is in the process of negotiating a new agreement with Los Angeles County. SoCalGas is operating and expects to continue to operate under the terms and provisions of the expired franchise until a new agreement is reached and does not anticipate disruption of service to customers in unincorporated Los Angeles County while negotiations continue.

Sempra Texas Utilities

Oncor relies on external financing as a significant source of liquidity for its capital requirements. In the event that Oncor fails to meet its capital requirements, access sufficient capital, or raise capital on favorable terms to finance its ongoing needs, we may elect to make additional capital contributions to Oncor (as our commitments to the PUCT prohibit us from making loans to Oncor), which could be substantial and reduce the cash available to us for other purposes, increase our indebtedness and ultimately materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. Oncor’s ability to make distributions may be limited by factors such as its credit ratings, regulatory capital requirements, increases in its capital plan, debt-to-equity ratio approved by the PUCT and other restrictions and considerations. In addition, Oncor will not make distributions if a majority of Oncor’s independent directors or any minority member director determines it is in the best interests of Oncor to retain such amounts to meet expected future requirements.

Table of Contents

Rates and Cost Recovery

The PUCT issued a final order in Oncor’s most recent comprehensive base rate proceeding in April 2023, and rates implementing that order went into effect on May 1, 2023. In June 2023, the PUCT issued an order on rehearing in response to the motions for rehearing filed by Oncor and certain intervenor parties in the proceeding. The order on rehearing made certain technical and typographical corrections to the final order but otherwise affirmed the material provisions of the final order and did not require modification of the rates that went into effect on May 1, 2023. In September 2023, Oncor filed an appeal in Travis County District Court seeking judicial review of certain rate base disallowances and related expense effects of those disallowances in the PUCT’s order on rehearing. On February 22, 2024, the court dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Oncor is evaluating whether to appeal that ruling.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

Our investment in Oncor Holdings is a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sempra Infrastructure

Sempra Infrastructure expects to fund capital expenditures, investments and operations in part with available funds, including existing credit facilities, and cash flows from operations of the Sempra Infrastructure businesses. We expect Sempra Infrastructure will require additional funding for the development and expansion of its portfolio of projects, which may be financed through a combination of funding from the parent and NCI owners, bank financing, issuances of debt, project financing, partnering in JVs and asset sales.

At December 31, 2023, Sempra, KKR Pinnacle and ADIA directly or indirectly own a 70%, 20%, and 10% interest, respectively, in SI Partners, and KKR Denali, an affiliate of ConocoPhillips and TotalEnergies SE each own a 60%, 30% and 16.6% interest, respectively, in three separate SI Partners subsidiaries. In 2023 and 2022, Sempra Infrastructure distributed $730 million and $237 million, respectively, to its NCI owners, and NCI owners contributed $1,770 million and $31 million, respectively, to Sempra Infrastructure.

Sempra Infrastructure is in various stages of development or construction on natural gas liquefaction projects, pipeline and terminal projects, and renewable generation and sequestration projects, which we describe below. The successful development and/or construction of these projects is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties.

With respect to projects in development, these risks and uncertainties include, as applicable depending on the project, any failure to:

▪secure binding customer commitments

▪identify suitable project and equity partners

▪obtain sufficient financing

▪reach agreement with project partners or other applicable parties to proceed

▪obtain, modify, and/or maintain permits and regulatory approvals, including LNG export applications to non-FTA countries in light of the current Administration’s temporary pause of such approvals while the DOE reviews the economic and environmental analyses it uses to evaluate such applications

▪negotiate, complete and maintain suitable commercial agreements, which may include EPC, tolling, equity acquisition, governance, LNG sales, gas supply and transportation contracts

▪reach a positive final investment decision

With respect to projects under construction, these risks and uncertainties include, in addition to the risks described above as applicable to each project, construction delays and cost overruns.

An unfavorable outcome with respect to any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on (i) the development and construction of the applicable project, including a potential impairment of all or a substantial portion of the capital costs invested in the project to date, which could be material, and (ii) for any project that has reached a positive final investment decision, Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. For a further discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

The descriptions below discuss several HOAs, MOUs and other non-binding development agreements with respect to Sempra Infrastructure’s various development projects. These arrangements do not commit any party to enter into definitive agreements or otherwise participate in the applicable project, and the ultimate participation by the parties remains subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors.

LNG

Cameron LNG Phase 2 Project. Cameron LNG JV is developing a proposed expansion project that would add one liquefaction train with an expected maximum production capacity of approximately 6.75 Mtpa and would increase the production capacity of the existing three trains at the Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility by up to approximately 1 Mtpa through debottlenecking activities. The Cameron LNG JV site can accommodate additional trains beyond the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project.

Cameron LNG JV previously received major permits and FTA and non-FTA approvals associated with the potential expansion that included up to two additional liquefaction trains and up to two additional full containment LNG storage tanks. The non-FTA approval for the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project includes, among other things, a May 2026 deadline to commence commercial exports, for which we expect to request an extension. In March 2023, the FERC approved Cameron LNG JV’s request to amend the permits to allow the use of electric drives, instead of gas turbine drives, which would reduce GHG emissions. The amendment also allows the design to be changed from a two-train gas turbine expansion to a one-train electric drive expansion along with other design enhancements that, together, we expect would result in a more cost-effective and efficient facility, while also reducing GHG emissions.

Sempra Infrastructure and the other Cameron LNG JV members, namely affiliates of TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Japan LNG Investment, LLC, a company jointly owned by Mitsubishi Corporation and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha, have entered into a non-binding HOA for the potential development of the Cameron LNG Phase 2 project. The non-binding HOA provides a commercial framework for the proposed project, including the contemplated allocation to SI Partners of 50.2% of the fourth train production capacity and 25% of the debottlenecking capacity from the project under tolling agreements. The non-binding HOA contemplates the remaining capacity to be allocated equally to the existing Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility customers. Sempra Infrastructure plans to sell the LNG corresponding to its allocated capacity from the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project under long-term SPAs prior to making a final investment decision.

In July 2023, following completion of front-end engineering design contracts with two parties, Cameron LNG JV informed Bechtel that it had been selected to perform additional value engineering work on the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project. After completion of the value engineering work, in January 2024, Cameron LNG JV terminated further work under the applicable agreement with Bechtel. Cameron LNG JV is preparing to re-bid the EPC work for the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project to help optimize the project’s costs and schedule. We expect this work will continue through the end of 2024 and to be in a position to make a final investment decision in the first half of 2025 and complete all related financing and permitting activities necessary to align our authorizations with the proposed schedule for the project.

In December 2023, Entergy Louisiana, LLC, a subsidiary of Entergy Corporation, and Cameron LNG JV signed a new electricity service agreement (and related ancillary agreements) for the supply to Cameron LNG JV of up to 950 MW of renewable power from new renewable resources in Louisiana. The agreement is subject to approval by the Louisiana Public Service Commission and existing project lenders.

Expansion of the Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility beyond the first three trains is subject to certain restrictions and conditions under the JV project financing agreements, including among others, scope restrictions on expansion of the project unless appropriate prior consent is obtained from the existing project lenders. Under the Cameron LNG JV equity agreements, the expansion of the project requires the unanimous consent of all the members, including with respect to the equity investment obligation of each member.

ECA LNG Phase 1 Project. ECA LNG Phase 1 is constructing a one-train natural gas liquefaction facility at the site of Sempra Infrastructure’s existing ECA Regas Facility with a nameplate capacity of 3.25 Mtpa and an initial offtake capacity of 2.5 Mtpa. We do not expect the construction or operation of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project to disrupt operations at the ECA Regas Facility. SI Partners owns an 83.4% interest in ECA LNG Phase 1, and an affiliate of TotalEnergies SE owns the remaining 16.6% interest. At December 31, 2023, Sempra holds an indirect interest in the ECA LNG Phase 1 project of 58.4%.

We received authorizations from the DOE to export U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and to re-export LNG to non-FTA countries from the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. ECA LNG Phase 1 has definitive 20-year SPAs with an affiliate of TotalEnergies SE for approximately 1.7 Mtpa of LNG and with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. for approximately 0.8 Mtpa of LNG.

We have an EPC contract with TP Oil & Gas Mexico, S. De R.L. De C.V., an affiliate of Technip Energies N.V., to construct the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. We estimate the total price of the EPC contract to be approximately $1.5 billion, with capital expenditures approximating $2 billion including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual cost of the EPC contract and the actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates. We expect the ECA LNG Phase 1 project to commence commercial operations in the summer of 2025.

ECA LNG Phase 1 has a five-year loan agreement with a syndicate of seven external lenders that matures in December 2025 for an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.3 billion, of which $832 million was outstanding at December 31, 2023. Proceeds from the loan are being used to finance the cost of construction of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project.

With respect to the ECA LNG Phase 1 and Phase 2 projects, recent and proposed changes to the law in Mexico and the unfavorable resolution of land disputes and permit challenges, in each case that we discuss in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, could have a material adverse effect on the development and construction of these projects.

ECA LNG Phase 2 Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing a second, large-scale natural gas liquefaction project at the site of its existing ECA Regas Facility. We expect the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project to be comprised of two trains and one LNG storage tank and produce approximately 12 Mtpa of export capacity. We expect that construction of the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project would conflict with the current operations at the ECA Regas Facility, which currently has long-term regasification contracts for 100% of the regasification facility’s capacity through 2028. This makes the decisions on whether, when and how to pursue the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project dependent in part on whether the investment in a large-scale liquefaction facility would, over the long term, be more beneficial financially than continuing to supply regasification services under our existing contracts.

We received authorizations from the DOE to export U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and to re-export LNG to non-FTA countries from the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project.

We have non-binding MOUs and/or HOAs with Mitsui & Co., Ltd., an affiliate of TotalEnergies SE, and ConocoPhillips that provide a framework for their potential offtake of LNG from the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project and potential acquisition of an equity interest in ECA LNG Phase 2.

PA LNG Phase 1 Project. Since making a positive final investment decision in March 2023, Sempra Infrastructure is constructing a natural gas liquefaction project on a greenfield site that it owns in the vicinity of Port Arthur, Texas, located along the Sabine-Neches waterway. The PA LNG Phase 1 project will consist of two liquefaction trains, two LNG storage tanks, a marine berth and associated loading facilities and related infrastructure necessary to provide liquefaction services with a nameplate capacity of approximately 13 Mtpa and an initial offtake capacity of approximately 10.5 Mtpa.

Sempra Infrastructure has received authorizations from the DOE that permit the LNG to be produced from the PA LNG Phase 1 project to be exported to all current and future FTA and non-FTA countries. In April 2019, the FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. In June 2023, Port Arthur LNG requested authorization from the FERC to increase its work force and implement a 24-hours-per-day construction schedule to further enhance construction efficiency while reducing temporal impacts to the community and environment in the vicinity of the project. If approved, the authorization would provide the EPC contractor with more optionality to meet or exceed the project’s construction schedule, subject to the timing of FERC approval. The FERC has published a schedule that anticipates the issuance of an environmental assessment for the project in March 2024.

The PA LNG Phase 1 project holds two Clean Air Act, Prevention of Significant Deterioration permits issued by the TCEQ, which we refer to as the “2016 Permit” and the “2022 Permit.” The 2022 Permit also governs emissions for the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project.

In November 2023, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a decision to vacate and remand the 2022 Permit to the TCEQ for additional explanation of the agency’s permit decision. In February 2024, the court withdrew its opinion pending a determination by the Supreme Court of Texas as to the proper standard to be applied by the TCEQ. The 2022 Permit remains effective during the Supreme Court’s review. The 2016 Permit was not the subject of, and is unaffected by, the court’s decision. Construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project is proceeding uninterrupted under existing permits, and we do not currently anticipate material impacts to the PA LNG Phase 1 project cost, schedule or expected commercial operations at this stage.

Sempra Infrastructure has definitive SPAs for LNG offtake from the PA LNG Phase 1 project with:

▪an affiliate of ConocoPhillips for a 20-year term for 5 Mtpa of LNG, as well as a natural gas supply management agreement whereby an affiliate of ConocoPhillips will manage the feed gas supply requirements for the PA LNG Phase 1 project.

▪RWE Supply & Trading GmbH, a subsidiary of RWE AG, for a 15-year term for 2.25 Mtpa of LNG.

▪INEOS for a 20-year term for approximately 1.4 Mtpa of LNG.

▪ORLEN for a 20-year term for approximately 1 Mtpa of LNG.

▪ENGIE S.A. for a 15-year term for approximately 0.875 Mtpa of LNG.

We have an EPC contract with Bechtel to construct the PA LNG Phase 1 project. In March 2023, we issued a final notice to proceed under the EPC contract, which has an estimated price of approximately $10.7 billion. We estimate the capital

2023 Form 10-K | 86

Table of Contents

expenditures for the PA LNG Phase 1 project will be approximately $13 billion including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual cost of the EPC contract and the actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates. We expect the first and second trains of the PA LNG Phase 1 project to commence commercial operations in 2027 and 2028, respectively.

In March 2023, an indirect subsidiary of SI Partners completed the sale of an indirect 30% interest in another SI Partners subsidiary (resulting in an indirect 30% NCI in the PA LNG Phase 1 project) to an affiliate of ConocoPhillips for aggregate cash consideration of $254 million. We used the proceeds from this sale for capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. In connection with this sale, both SI Partners and ConocoPhillips provided guarantees relating to their respective affiliate’s commitment to make its pro rata equity share of capital contributions to fund 110% of the development budget of the PA LNG Phase 1 project, in an aggregate amount of up to $9.0 billion. SI Partners’ guarantee covers 70% of this amount plus enforcement costs of its guarantee.

In September 2023, an indirect subsidiary of SI Partners completed the sale of an indirect 60% interest in another SI Partners subsidiary (resulting in an indirect 42% NCI in the PA LNG Phase 1 project) to KKR Denali for aggregate cash consideration of $976 million. We used the proceeds from this sale for capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

At December 31, 2023, SI Partners holds a 28% indirect interest and Sempra holds a 19.6% indirect interest in the PA LNG Phase 1 project.

In March 2023, Port Arthur LNG entered into a seven-year term loan facility agreement with a syndicate of lenders for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.8 billion and an initial working capital facility agreement for up to $200 million. The facilities mature in March 2030. Proceeds from the loans will be used to finance the cost of construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. At December 31, 2023, $258 million of borrowings were outstanding under the term loan facility agreement.

PA LNG Phase 2 Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing a second phase of the Port Arthur natural gas liquefaction project that we expect will be a similar size to the PA LNG Phase 1 project. We are progressing the development of the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project, while continuing to evaluate overall opportunities to develop the entirety of the Port Arthur site as well as potential design changes that could reduce GHG emissions, including a facility design utilizing renewable power sourcing and other technological solutions.

In September 2023, the FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project, including the potential addition of up to two liquefaction trains. In February 2020, Sempra Infrastructure filed an application with the DOE to permit LNG produced from the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project to be exported to all current and future FTA and non-FTA countries. We do not expect the DOE to act on this application until after the conclusion of the temporary pause on the DOE’s LNG export approvals that we describe above.

As we discuss above, a U.S. federal court previously issued and subsequently withdrew a decision that would have vacated and remanded the 2022 Permit authorizing emissions from the PA LNG Phase 1 and Phase 2 projects to the TCEQ for additional explanation of the agency’s permit decision. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has referred the case to the Supreme Court of Texas to resolve the question of the appropriate standard to be applied by the TCEQ. The 2022 Permit remains effective pending the Supreme Court’s review.

Sempra Infrastructure has entered into a non-binding HOA for the negotiation and potential finalization of a definitive SPA with INEOS for approximately 0.2 Mtpa of LNG offtake from the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project.

Vista Pacifico LNG Liquefaction Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing the Vista Pacifico LNG project, a mid-scale natural gas liquefaction export facility proposed to be located in the vicinity of the Port of Topolobampo in Sinaloa, Mexico, under a non-binding development agreement with the CFE that contemplates the negotiation of definitive agreements, including a natural gas supply agreement. The proposed LNG export terminal would be supplied with U.S. natural gas and would use excess natural gas and pipeline capacity on existing pipelines in Mexico with the intent of helping to meet growing demand for natural gas and LNG in the Mexican and Pacific markets.

Sempra Infrastructure received authorization from the DOE to permit the export of U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and for LNG produced from the proposed Vista Pacifico LNG facility to be re-exported to all current and future FTA countries and non-FTA countries.

In March 2022, TotalEnergies SE and Sempra Infrastructure entered into a non-binding MOU that contemplates TotalEnergies SE potentially contracting approximately one-third of the long-term export production of the proposed Vista Pacifico LNG project and potentially participating as a minority partner in the project.

Asset and Supply Optimization. As we discuss in “Part II – Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” Sempra Infrastructure enters into hedging transactions to help mitigate commodity price risk and optimize the value of its LNG, natural gas pipelines and storage, and power-generating assets. Some of these derivatives that we use as economic hedges do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting, or hedge accounting is not elected, and as a result, the changes in fair value of these derivatives are recorded in earnings. Consequently, significant changes in commodity prices have in the past and could in the future result in earnings volatility, which may be material, as the economic offset of these derivatives may not be recorded at fair value.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. Our investment in Cameron LNG JV is a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2021, Sempra provided a promissory note, which constitutes a guarantee, for the benefit of Cameron LNG JV with a maximum exposure to loss of $165 million. 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. We discuss this guarantee in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2020, Sempra entered into a Support Agreement, which contains a guarantee and represents a variable interest, for the benefit of CFIN with a maximum exposure to loss of $979 million. The guarantee will terminate upon full repayment of the guaranteed debt by 2039, including repayment following an event in which the guaranteed debt is put to Sempra. We discuss this guarantee in Notes 1, 6 and 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Energy Networks

Sonora Pipeline. Sempra Infrastructure’s Sonora natural gas pipeline consists of two 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. Legal challenges raised by some members of the Yaqui tribe living in the Bácum community, which we discuss in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, have prevented Sempra Infrastructure from making repairs to put the pipeline back in service. Such legal challenges were definitively resolved in March 2023 based on the agreement by the CFE and Sempra Infrastructure to re-route the portion of the pipeline that is in the Yaqui territory.

In September 2019, Sempra Infrastructure and the CFE reached an agreement to modify the tariff structure and extend the term of the contract by 10 years. Under the revised agreement, the CFE will resume making payments only when the damaged section of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline is back in service.

Sempra Infrastructure and the CFE have agreed to an amendment to their transportation services agreement and to proceed with re-routing a portion of the pipeline, 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 re-routed portion of the pipeline.

At December 31, 2023, Sempra Infrastructure had $411 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, which in each case could have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Refined Products Terminals. In May 2022, Sempra Infrastructure substantially completed construction of a terminal for the receipt, storage, and delivery of refined products in Topolobampo, at which time commissioning activities commenced. We expect the Topolobampo terminal will commence commercial operations in the second quarter of 2024.

Sempra Infrastructure is also developing terminals for the receipt, storage, and delivery of refined products in the vicinity of Manzanillo and Ensenada.

Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector. Sempra Infrastructure has made a positive final investment decision on and begun procurement and engineering activities and rights-of-way acquisition related to the construction of the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector, a 72-mile pipeline connecting the PA LNG Phase 1 project to Gillis, Louisiana. In April 2019, the FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector, which will be used to supply feed gas to the PA LNG Phase 1 project. In July 2023, Sempra Infrastructure filed a limited amendment application with the FERC to implement construction process enhancements and minor modifications to several discrete sections of the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector. These modifications are intended to decrease environmental impacts, accommodate landowner

Table of Contents

routing requests and enhance construction procedures. In February 2024, the FERC issued an environmental assessment for the project. We expect the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector to be ready for service ahead of the PA LNG Phase 1 project’s gas requirements. We estimate the capital expenditures for the project will be approximately $1 billion, including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates.

Louisiana Storage. Sempra Infrastructure has made a positive final investment decision on and begun procurement and engineering activities related to the construction of Louisiana Storage, a 12.5-Bcf salt dome natural gas storage facility to support the PA LNG Phase 1 project. The construction includes an 11-mile pipeline that will connect to the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector. In September 2022, the FERC approved the development of the project. We expect Louisiana Storage to be ready for service in time to support the needs of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. We estimate the capital expenditures for the project will be approximately $300 million, including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates.

Low Carbon Solutions

Cimarrón Wind. Sempra Infrastructure is developing the Cimarrón Wind project, an approximately 300-MW wind generation facility in Baja California, Mexico. In October 2022, Sempra Infrastructure entered into a 20-year PPA, as amended, with Silicon Valley Power for the long-term supply of renewable energy to the City of Santa Clara, California, which is subject to Sempra Infrastructure reaching a final investment decision. Cimarrón Wind would utilize 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 expect to make a final investment decision in the first half of 2024.

Hackberry Carbon Sequestration Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing the potential Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project near Hackberry, Louisiana. This proposed project under development is designed to permanently sequester carbon dioxide from the Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility and the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project. In 2021, Sempra Infrastructure filed an application with the EPA for a Class VI carbon injection well to advance this project.

Sempra Infrastructure, TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation have entered into a Participation Agreement for the development of the proposed Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project. The Participation Agreement contemplates that the combined Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility and proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project would potentially serve as the anchor source for the capture and sequestration of carbon dioxide by the proposed project. It also provides the basis for the parties to acquire an equity interest by entering into a JV with Sempra Infrastructure for the Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project. In May 2023, Sempra Infrastructure and Cameron LNG JV entered into a non-binding HOA, which sets forth a framework for further development of the Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

Future Capital Expenditures and Investments

The amounts and timing of capital expenditures and certain investments are generally subject to approvals by various regulatory and other governmental and environmental bodies, including the CPUC, the FERC and the PUCT, and various other factors described in this MD&A and in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.” In 2024, we expect to make capital expenditures and investments of approximately $9.2 billion, as summarized by segment in the following table.

FUTURE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND INVESTMENTS
(Dollars in millions)
Year ending December 31, 2024
Sempra California(1)$4,778
Sempra Texas Utilities774
Sempra Infrastructure3,641
Parent and other2
Total$9,195

(1)    Includes future capital expenditures of $2,498 and $2,280 at SDG&E and SoCalGas, respectively.

We expect the majority of our capital expenditures and investments in 2024 will relate to transmission and distribution improvements at our regulated public utilities and construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project, ECA LNG Phase 1 project and natural gas pipelines at Sempra Infrastructure.

From 2024 through 2028, and subject to the factors described below, which could cause these estimates to vary substantially, Sempra expects to make aggregate capital expenditures and investments of approximately $40.4 billion, as follows: $24.1 billion at Sempra California (which includes $12.5 billion at SDG&E and $11.6 billion at SoCalGas), $3.4 billion at Sempra Texas Utilities, and $12.9 billion at Sempra Infrastructure. Capital expenditure amounts include capitalized interest and AFUDC related to debt.

When (i) including Sempra’s proportionate ownership interest in expected capital expenditures at unconsolidated equity method investees while excluding Sempra’s expected capital contributions to those unconsolidated equity method investees and (ii) excluding NCI’s proportionate ownership interest in expected capital expenditures at Sempra and at unconsolidated equity method investees, we expect capital expenditures from 2024 through 2028 to total $48 billion.

Periodically, we review our construction, investment and financing programs and revise them in response to changes in regulation, economic conditions, competition, customer growth, inflation, customer rates, the cost and availability of capital, and safety and environmental requirements.

Our level of capital expenditures and investments in the next few years may vary substantially and will depend on, among other things, the cost and availability of financing, regulatory approvals, changes in tax law and business opportunities providing desirable rates of return. See “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” for a discussion of these and other factors that could affect future levels of our capital expenditures and investments. We intend to finance our capital expenditures in a manner that will maintain our investment-grade credit ratings and capital structure, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so.

Weighted-Average Rate Base

Rate base is the value of assets on which SDG&E and SoCalGas are permitted to earn a specified rate of return in accordance with rules set by regulatory agencies, including the CPUC and the FERC (for SDG&E), which is calculated using a 13-month average in accordance with CPUC methodology as adopted in rate-setting proceedings. The following table summarizes the weighted-average rate base for SDG&E and SoCalGas for the last three years.

WEIGHTED-AVERAGE RATE BASE
(Dollars in millions)
202320222021
SDG&E$15,220$13,780$12,527
SoCalGas11,67110,4949,371

The increase in weighted-average rate base reflects the significant capital investments that SDG&E and SoCalGas have made in transmission and distribution safety and reliability. We expect the weighted-average rate base to continue to increase in 2024 based on our expected capital investments.

▪$145 million in 2023

▪$4 million in 2022

▪$5 million in 2021

Cash used for repurchases of common stock was:

▪$32 million in 2023

▪$478 million in 2022

▪$339 million in 2021

We discuss the issuance and repurchases of common stock in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Dividends

Sempra

Sempra paid cash dividends of:

▪$1,483 million for common stock and $44 million for preferred stock in 2023

▪$1,430 million for common stock and $44 million for preferred stock in 2022

▪$1,331 million for common stock and $99 million for preferred stock in 2021

DIVIDENDS PER SHARE ON SEMPRA COMMON STOCK
(As approved by our board of directors)

On February 26, 2024, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.62 per share on our common stock and a dividend of $24.375 per share on our series C preferred stock, both payable on April 15, 2024.

2023 Form 10-K | 93

Table of Contents

All declarations of dividends on our common stock and preferred stock are made at the discretion of the board of directors. While we view dividends as an integral component of shareholder return, the amount of future dividends will depend on earnings, cash flows, financial and legal requirements, and other relevant factors at that time. As a result, Sempra’s dividends on common stock and preferred stock declared on a historical basis may not be indicative of future declarations.

SDG&E

In 2023, 2022 and 2021, SDG&E paid common stock dividends to Enova and Enova paid corresponding dividends to Sempra of $100 million, $100 million and $300 million, respectively. SDG&E’s dividends on common stock declared on an annual historical basis may not be indicative of future declarations and could be impacted over the next few years in order for SDG&E to maintain its authorized capital structure while managing its capital investment program.

Enova, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra, owns all of SDG&E’s outstanding common stock. Accordingly, dividends paid by SDG&E to Enova and dividends paid by Enova to Sempra are eliminated in Sempra’s consolidated financial statements.

SoCalGas

In 2023 and 2021, SoCalGas paid common stock dividends to PE and PE paid corresponding dividends to Sempra of $100 million and $75 million, respectively. SoCalGas did not declare or pay common stock dividends in 2022. SoCalGas’ dividends on common stock declared on an annual historical basis may not be indicative of future declarations and could be impacted over the next few years in order for SoCalGas to maintain its authorized capital structure.

PE, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra, owns all of SoCalGas’ outstanding common stock. Accordingly, dividends paid by SoCalGas to PE and dividends paid by PE to Sempra are eliminated in Sempra’s consolidated financial statements.

Dividend Restrictions

The board of directors for each of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas has the discretion to determine whether to declare and, if declared, the amount of any dividends by each such entity. The CPUC’s regulation of SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ capital structures limits the amounts that are available for loans and dividends to Sempra. At December 31, 2023, based on these regulations, Sempra could have received combined loans and dividends of approximately $442 million from SDG&E and $330 million from SoCalGas. In addition, the terms of Sempra’s series C preferred stock limit Sempra’s ability to declare dividends on its common stock under certain circumstances.

We provide additional information about dividend restrictions in “Restricted Net Assets” in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Book Value Per Common Share

Sempra’s book value per common share on the last day of each of the last three fiscal years was as follows:

▪$44.00 in 2023

▪$41.72 in 2022

▪$39.59 in 2021

The increase in 2023 was primarily due to comprehensive income exceeding dividends. In 2022, the increase was primarily due to comprehensive income exceeding dividends and a fair value that was higher than carrying value related to the change in ownership, which did not result in a change of control, from the sale of NCI in SI Partners to ADIA.

Capitalization

Our debt-to-capitalization ratio, which is calculated as total debt as a percentage of total debt and equity, was as follows:

Significant changes in 2023 that affected capitalization included the following:

▪Sempra: increase in long-term debt, offset by a decrease in short-term debt; and increase in equity primarily from comprehensive income exceeding dividends, sales of and contributions from NCI, offset by distributions to NCI.

▪SDG&E: increase in long-term debt, offset by a decrease in short-term debt and increase in equity from comprehensive income exceeding dividends.

▪SoCalGas: increase in debt and an increase in equity from comprehensive income exceeding dividends.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Management views certain accounting estimates as critical because their application is the most relevant, judgmental and/or material to our financial position and results of operations, and/or because they require the use of material judgments and estimates. We discuss critical accounting estimates that are material to our financial statements with the Audit Committee of Sempra’s board of directors.

CONTINGENCIES

Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas

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

▪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 continuously assess contingencies for litigation claims, environmental remediation and other events.

Actual amounts realized upon settlement of contingencies may be different than amounts recorded and disclosed and may affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Details of our issues in this area are discussed in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

REGULATORY ACCOUNTING

Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas

As regulated entities, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ customer rates, as set and monitored by regulators, are designed to recover the cost of providing service and to provide the opportunity to realize their authorized rates of return on their investments. SDG&E and SoCalGas assess probabilities of future rate recovery associated with regulatory account balances at the end of each reporting period and whenever new and/or unusual events occur, such as:

▪changes in the regulatory and political environment or the utility’s competitive position

▪issuance of a regulatory commission order

▪passage of new legislation

To the extent that circumstances associated with regulatory balances change, the regulatory balances are evaluated and adjusted if appropriate.

Significant management judgment is required to evaluate the anticipated recovery of regulatory assets and plant investments, the recognition of incentives and revenues subject to refund, as well as the existence and amount of regulatory liabilities. Adverse regulatory or legislative actions could materially impact the amounts of our regulatory assets and liabilities and could materially adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. Specifically, if future recovery of costs ceases to be probable, all or part of the associated regulatory assets and/or plant investments would need to be written off against current period earnings, or adverse regulatory or legislative actions could give rise to material new or higher regulatory liabilities. We discuss details of SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ regulatory assets and liabilities and additional factors that management considers when assessing probabilities associated with regulatory balances in Notes 1, 4, 15 and 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

INCOME TAXES

Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas

Our income tax expense and related balance sheet amounts involve significant management judgments and estimates. Amounts of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, as well as current and noncurrent accruals, involve judgments and estimates of the timing and probability of recognition of income and deductions by taxing authorities. When we evaluate the anticipated resolution of income tax issues, we consider:

▪ past resolutions of the same issue or similar issues

▪ the status of any income tax examination in progress

▪ positions taken by taxing authorities with other taxpayers with similar issues

The likelihood of deferred income tax recovery is based on analyses of the deferred income tax assets and our expectation of future taxable income, based on our strategic planning. Should a change in facts or circumstances lead to a change in judgment about the ultimate realizability of a deferred tax asset, we would record or adjust the related valuation allowance in the period that the change in facts and circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding increase or decrease in the provision for income taxes.

Actual income taxes could vary from estimated amounts because of:

▪ future impacts of various items, including changes in tax laws, regulations, interpretations and rulings

▪ our financial condition in future periods

▪ the resolution of various income tax issues between us and taxing and regulatory authorities

Unrecognized 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 results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We discuss these matters and additional information related to accounting for income taxes, including uncertainty in income taxes, in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING

Sempra

We use interest rate swaps, designated as cash flow hedges, in part, to hedge interest payments related to our forecasted refinancing of the existing PA LNG Phase 1 project construction term loan facility with fixed-rate debt. The future fixed-rate debt issuances underlying these cash flow hedge relationships are largely dependent on the market demand and liquidity in the debt market. At December 31, 2023, we believe the forecasted issuances of fixed-rate debt in the related cash flow hedge relationships are probable. However, unexpected changes in market conditions in future periods could impact our ability to issue such fixed-rate debt, or the timing of such an issuance. If our assumptions regarding the nature and timing of forecasted fixed-rate debt issuances were to be inaccurate, we could be required to cease the application of hedge accounting to the related interest rate swaps, which could materially impact our results of operations. We provide details of our derivative instruments in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

PENSION AND PBOP PLANS

Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas

To measure our pension and PBOP obligations, costs and liabilities, we rely on several assumptions. We consider current market conditions, including interest rates, in making these assumptions. We review these assumptions annually and update when appropriate.

The critical assumptions used to develop the required estimates include the following key factors:

▪discount rates

▪expected return on plan assets

▪health care cost trend rates

▪interest crediting rate on cash balance accounts

▪mortality rate

2023 Form 10-K | 96

Table of Contents

▪rate of compensation increases

▪termination and retirement rates

▪utilization of postretirement welfare benefits

▪payout elections (lump sum or annuity)

▪lump sum interest rates

The actuarial assumptions we use may differ materially from actual results due to:

▪return on plan assets

▪changing market and economic conditions

▪higher or lower withdrawal rates

▪longer or shorter participant life spans

▪more or fewer lump sum versus annuity payout elections made by plan participants

▪higher or lower retirement rates

Changes in the estimated costs or timing of pension and PBOP, or the assumptions and judgments used by management underlying these estimates (primarily the discount rate and assumed rate of return on plan assets), as well as changes in the circumstances associated with rate recovery, could have a material effect on the recorded expenses and liabilities. The following tables summarize the impact to our projected benefit obligation for pension and accumulated benefit obligation for PBOP at December 31, 2023, and 2023 net periodic benefit costs, in each case if the discount rate or assumed rate of return on plan assets were changed by 100 bps.

For SDG&E and SoCalGas plans, the effects of the assumptions on earnings are expected to be recovered in rates and therefore are offset in regulatory accounts. We provide details of our pension and PBOP plans in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

SONGS ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

Sempra, SDG&E

SDG&E’s legal AROs related to the decommissioning of SONGS are estimated based on a site-specific study performed no less than every three years. The estimate of the obligations includes:

▪ estimated decommissioning costs, including labor, equipment, material and other disposal costs

▪ inflation adjustment applied to estimated cash flows

▪ discount rate based on a credit-adjusted risk-free rate

2023 Form 10-K | 97

Table of Contents

▪ actual decommissioning costs, progress to date and expected duration of decommissioning activities

SDG&E’s nuclear decommissioning expenses are subject to rate recovery and, therefore, rate-making accounting treatment is applied to SDG&E’s nuclear decommissioning activities. SDG&E recognizes a regulatory asset, or liability, to the extent that its SONGS ARO exceeds, or is less than, the amount collected from customers and the amount earned in SDG&E’s NDT.

SDG&E’s ARO related to the decommissioning of SONGS was $504 million as of December 31, 2023, based on the decommissioning cost study prepared in 2020. Changes in the estimated costs, execution strategy or timing of decommissioning, or in the assumptions and judgments by management underlying these estimates, could cause material revisions to the estimated total cost to decommission this facility, which could have a material effect on the recorded liability.

The following table illustrates the increase to SDG&E’s and Sempra’s ARO liability if the cost escalation rate was adjusted while leaving all other assumptions constant:

INCREASE TO ARO AND REGULATORY ASSET
(Dollars in millions)
December 31, 2023
Uniform increase in escalation percentage of 1 percentage point$65

The increase in the ARO liability driven by an increase in the cost escalation rate would result in a decrease in the regulatory liability for recoveries in excess of ARO liabilities. We provide additional detail in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Sempra

Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable, we consider if the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. If so, we estimate the fair value of the asset to determine the extent to which carrying value exceeds fair value. For such an estimate, we may consider data from multiple valuation methods, including data from market participants. We exercise judgment to estimate the future cash flows and the useful life of a long-lived asset and to determine our intent to use the asset. Our intent to use or dispose of a long-lived asset is subject to re-evaluation and can change over time. If such an impairment test is required, the fair value of a long-lived asset can vary if differing estimates and assumptions are used in the valuation techniques applied as indicated by changing market or other conditions. Critical assumptions that affect our estimates of fair value may include:

▪consideration of market transactions

▪future cash flows

▪the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate, including the impacts of country risk and entity risk

We discuss impairment of long-lived assets in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF GOODWILL

Sempra

When determining if goodwill is impaired, the fair value of the reporting unit can vary if differing estimates and assumptions are used in the valuation techniques applied as indicated by changing market or other conditions. As a result, recognizing a goodwill impairment may or may not be required. When we perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test, we exercise judgment to develop estimates of the fair value of the reporting unit and compare that to its carrying value. Our fair value estimates are developed from the perspective of a knowledgeable market participant. We consider observable transactions in the marketplace for similar investments, if available, as well as an income-based approach such as a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis may be based directly on anticipated future revenues and expenses and may be performed based on free cash flows generated within the reporting unit. Critical assumptions that affect our estimates of fair value may include:

▪consideration of market transactions

▪future cash flows

▪projected revenue and expense growth rates

▪the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate, including the impacts of country risk and entity risk

2023 Form 10-K | 98

Table of Contents

In 2022, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test and determined that the estimated fair values of our reporting units in Mexico to which goodwill was allocated were substantially above their respective carrying values as of October 1, our goodwill impairment testing date. Upon performing a qualitative analysis as of October 1, 2023, we determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of such reporting units was less than their respective carrying values. Our goodwill impairment test is determined based on assumptions existing as of that point in time. Changes in the business (such as loss of future cash flows from customer disputes, renegotiation of customer contracts or the macroeconomic environment, including rising interest rates) may result in us having to perform an interim goodwill impairment test, which could result in an impairment of our goodwill.

Sempra Texas Utilities

The increase in earnings of $120 million (19%) in 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily due to higher equity earnings from Oncor Holdings driven by:

▪higher revenues from rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital, higher customer consumption attributable primarily to weather, and customer growth; offset by

▪higher depreciation expense and interest expense attributable to invested capital; and

▪higher O&M.

Sempra Infrastructure

The decrease in earnings of $372 million in 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily due to:

▪$283 million losses in 2022 compared to $148 million earnings in 2021 from asset and supply optimization driven by higher unrealized losses on commodity derivatives due to changes in natural gas prices, offset by higher diversion revenues;

▪$169 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico, net of foreign currency derivative effects, comprised of a $216 million unfavorable impact in 2022 compared to a $47 million unfavorable impact in 2021; and

▪$13 million selling profit on a sales-type lease relating to the commencement of a rail facility lease at the Veracruz terminal in 2021; offset by

▪$79 million higher equity earnings from Cameron LNG JV primarily from higher revenues from excess LNG production and maintenance revenues;

2022 Form 10-K | 62

▪$14 million higher earnings due to the start of commercial operations of the Veracruz and Mexico City terminals in March and July of 2021, respectively, and remeasurement of operating leases;

▪$12 million higher earnings from the renewables business due to Border Solar and the second phase of ESJ being placed in service in March 2021 and January 2022, respectively; and

▪$10 million higher earnings from TdM driven by higher power prices offset by lower volumes.

Parent and Other

The increase in losses of $30 million (7%) in 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily due to:

▪$120 million deferred income tax expense associated with the change in our indefinite reinvestment assertion related to our foreign subsidiaries, which we discuss in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements;

▪$50 million net investment losses in 2022 compared to $29 million net investment gains in 2021 on dedicated assets in support of our employee nonqualified benefit plan and deferred compensation obligations;

▪$50 million equity earnings in 2021 related to our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities to settle pending VAT matters and related legal costs; and

▪$19 million lower preferred dividends due to the mandatory conversion of all series B preferred stock in July 2021.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN REVENUES, COSTS AND EARNINGS

This section contains a discussion of the differences between periods in the specific line items of the Consolidated Statements of Operations for Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas.

Utilities Revenues and Cost of Sales

Our utilities revenues include natural gas revenues at SoCalGas and SDG&E and Sempra Infrastructure’s Ecogas and electric revenues at SDG&E. Intercompany revenues included in the separate revenues of each utility are eliminated in Sempra’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

SoCalGas and SDG&E currently operate under a regulatory framework that permits:

▪The cost of natural gas purchased for core customers (primarily residential and small commercial and industrial 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 core customers and SoCalGas. We provide further discussion in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

▪SDG&E 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.

▪SoCalGas and SDG&E to recover certain program expenditures and other costs authorized by the CPUC, or “refundable programs.”

Because changes in SoCalGas’ and SDG&E’s cost of natural gas and/or electricity are recovered in rates, changes in these costs

2022 Form 10-K | 63

Table of Contents

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 above. 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 Consolidated Financial Statements.

Years ended December 31,
202220212020
SoCalGas$7.48$4.53$2.59
SDG&E8.015.303.74

In 2022 compared to 2021, our natural gas revenues increased by $1.5 billion (24%) to $7.9 billion primarily due to:

▪$1.3 billion increase at SoCalGas, which included:

◦$864 million increase in cost of natural gas sold, which we discuss below,

◦$202 million higher recovery of costs associated with refundable programs, which revenues are offset in O&M,

◦$146 million higher CPUC-authorized revenues,

Table of Contents

◦$69 million higher revenues from incremental and balanced capital projects, and

◦$35 million higher revenues associated with impacts resulting from changes in tax laws tracked in the income tax expense memorandum account; and

▪$205 million increase at SDG&E, which included:

◦$121 million increase in cost of natural gas sold, which we discuss below,

◦$35 million higher recovery of costs associated with refundable programs, which revenues are offset in O&M,

◦$31 million higher revenues from balanced capital projects, and

◦$10 million higher CPUC-authorized revenues.

Our cost of natural gas increased by $1.0 billion to $2.6 billion in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to:

▪$864 million increase at SoCalGas primarily due to higher average natural gas prices; and

▪$121 million increase at SDG&E primarily due to higher average natural gas prices.

Electric Revenues and Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power

In 2022 compared to 2021, our electric revenues, substantially all of which are at SDG&E, increased by $125 million (3%) to $4.8 billion primarily due to:

▪$70 million higher CPUC-authorized revenues;

▪$68 million higher revenues associated with SDG&E’s wildfire mitigation plan;

▪$35 million higher recovery of costs associated with refundable programs, which revenues are offset in O&M;

▪$19 million higher revenues from transmission operations; and

▪$14 million higher revenues associated with lower income tax benefits from flow-through items; offset by

▪$75 million lower cost of electric fuel and purchased power, which we discuss below.

Our utility cost of electric fuel and purchased power includes utility-owned generation, power purchased from third parties, and net power purchases and sales to the California ISO. Our cost of electric fuel and purchased power decreased by $73 million (7%) to $937 million in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to $75 million at SDG&E from higher sales to the California ISO due to higher market prices offset by higher purchased power from the California ISO due to higher market prices, net of lower customer demand due to departing load now served by CCAs, and higher utility-owned generation costs.

Energy-Related Businesses: Revenues and Cost of Sales

In 2022 compared to 2021, revenues from our energy-related businesses decreased by $78 million (4%) to $1.8 billion primarily due to:

▪$344 million decrease in revenues from asset and supply optimization from contracts to sell natural gas and LNG to third parties, including:

◦$498 million lower revenues primarily driven by $639 million from higher unrealized losses on commodity derivatives offset by $148 million from higher natural gas prices and volumes, offset by

◦$83 million higher diversion fees due to higher natural gas prices, and

2022 Form 10-K | 65

Table of Contents

◦$71 million higher LNG sales; offset by

▪$143 million higher revenues from TdM mainly due to higher power prices offset by lower volumes from scheduled major maintenance completed in March 2022, which resulted in increased plant reliability;

▪$53 million higher transportation revenues driven by higher rates;

▪$46 million higher revenues from the renewables business due to Border Solar and the second phase of ESJ being placed in service in March 2021 and January 2022, respectively, the acquisition of ESJ in March 2021 and higher transmission rates; and

▪$5 million higher revenues from the Veracruz and Mexico City terminals placed in service in March and July of 2021, respectively, offset by an $18 million selling profit on a sales-type lease relating to the commencement of a rail facility lease at the Veracruz terminal in the third quarter of 2021 and a remeasurement of an operating lease.

The cost of sales for our energy-related businesses increased by $331 million to $942 million in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to higher natural gas prices and higher LNG purchases related to asset and supply optimization and higher prices offset by lower volumes from scheduled major maintenance completed in March 2022 at TdM.

Gain (Loss) on Sale of Assets

In 2021, Parent and other recognized a $36 million gain on the sale of PXiSE, which we discuss in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Income (Expense), Net

As part of our central risk management function, we may enter into foreign currency derivatives to hedge SI Partners’ exposure to movements in the Mexican peso from its controlling interest in IEnova. The gains/losses associated with these derivatives are included in other income (expense), net, as described below, and partially mitigate the transactional effects of foreign currency and inflation included in income tax expense for SI Partners’ consolidated entities and in equity earnings for SI Partners’ equity method investments. We discuss policies governing our risk management below in “Part II – Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

Other income (expense), net, decreased by $34 million to $24 million compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to:

▪$42 million investment losses in 2022 compared to $50 million investment gains in 2021 on dedicated assets in support of our executive retirement and deferred compensation plans; and

▪$10 million in penalties at SoCalGas in 2022 related to the energy efficiency and advocacy OSCs; offset by

▪$33 million lower net losses from impacts associated with interest rate and foreign exchange instruments and foreign currency transactions, including:

◦$12 million gains in 2022 on cross-currency swaps compared to $28 million losses in 2021 on foreign currency derivatives and cross-currency swaps as a result of fluctuation of the Mexican peso, and

◦$12 million lower foreign currency losses on a Mexican peso-denominated loan to IMG, which is offset in equity earnings, offset by

◦$13 million losses in 2022 compared to $5 million net gains in 2021 on other foreign currency transactional effects;

▪$20 million higher net interest income on regulatory balancing accounts at SDG&E and SoCalGas;

▪$10 million higher AFUDC equity, including $7 million at both SDG&E and SoCalGas;

▪$8 million lower non-service component of net periodic benefit cost; and

▪$5 million reversal of penalties in 2021 related to an OII related to SoCalGas’ billing practices.

We provide further details of the components of other income (expense), net, in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $144 million (12%) to $1.1 billion in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to:

▪$121 million decrease at Parent and other primarily due to $126 million in charges associated with make-whole premiums and a write-off of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs from the early redemptions of debt in December 2021, offset by higher debt balances from debt issuances;

▪$101 million decrease at Sempra Infrastructure primarily due to:

◦$54 million in charges associated with hedge termination costs and a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs from the early redemptions of debt in October 2021, and

◦$33 million net unrealized gains in 2022 on a contingent interest rate swap related to the proposed PA LNG Phase 1 project that we discuss in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements; offset by

▪$41 million increase at SoCalGas primarily from higher debt balances from debt issuances; and

▪$37 million increase at SDG&E from higher debt balances from debt issuances.

Sempra

Sempra’s income tax expense increased by $457 million in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to:

▪$60 million income tax benefit in 2022 compared to $445 million income tax benefit in 2021 associated with charges relating to litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak;

▪$169 million income tax expense in 2022 compared to $4 million income tax expense in 2021 from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico and associated derivatives;

▪$120 million deferred income tax expense associated with the change in our indefinite reinvestment assertion related to our foreign subsidiaries, which we discuss in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements; and

▪lower income tax benefits from flow-through items; offset by

▪$72 million net income tax expense related to the utilization of a deferred income tax asset upon completing the sale of a 20% NCI in SI Partners to KKR in October 2021;

▪$49 million income tax benefit in 2022 compared to $9 million income tax expense in 2021 from changes to a valuation allowance against certain tax credit carryforwards;

▪$28 million higher net income tax benefit in 2022 from the remeasurement of certain deferred income taxes; and

▪$22 million higher income tax benefit in 2022 from the resolution of prior year income tax items.

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 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.

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 Notes 1 and 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details about our accounting for income taxes and items subject to flow-through treatment.

SDG&E

SDG&E’s income tax expense decreased by $19 million (9%) in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to:

▪higher income tax benefits from flow-through items; and

▪$14 million higher income tax benefit in 2022 from the resolution of prior year income tax items; offset by

2022 Form 10-K | 68

Table of Contents

▪higher income tax expense from higher pretax income.

SoCalGas

SoCalGas’ $138 million income tax expense in 2022 compared to a $310 million income tax benefit in 2021 was primarily due to:

▪$60 million income tax benefit in 2022 compared to $445 million income tax benefit in 2021 associated with charges relating to litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak; and

▪ lower income tax benefits from flow-through items.

Equity Earnings

Equity earnings increased by $155 million (12%) to $1.5 billion in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to:

▪$118 million higher equity earnings at Oncor Holdings due to higher revenues from rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital, higher customer consumption attributable primarily to weather, and customer growth, offset by higher depreciation expense and interest expense attributable to invested capital and higher O&M; and

▪$100 million higher equity earnings at Cameron LNG JV primarily due to excess LNG production and maintenance revenues; offset by

▪$50 million equity earnings in 2021 related to our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities to settle pending VAT matters and related legal costs; and

▪$15 million lower equity earnings at IMG due to higher income tax expense and foreign currency effects, including $12 million lower foreign currency gains on IMG’s Mexican peso-denominated loans from its JV owners, which is fully offset in other income (expense), net, offset by lower interest expense.

Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Earnings attributable to NCI increased by $1 million (1%) to $146 million in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to:

▪$120 million increase as a result of a decrease in our ownership interest in SI Partners offset by an increase in our ownership interest in IEnova; offset by

▪$121 million decrease due to a decrease in SI Partners subsidiaries net income.

Preferred Dividends

Preferred dividends decreased by $19 million to $44 million in 2022 compared to 2021 due to the conversion of all series B preferred stock in July 2021.

IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION RATES ON RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Because our natural gas distribution utility in Mexico, Ecogas, uses its local currency as its functional currency, its revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates for the period for consolidation in Sempra’s results of operations. Prior to the sales of our South American businesses in 2020, our operations in South America used their local currency as their functional currency.

Foreign Currency Translation

Any difference in average exchange rates used for the translation of income statement activity from year to year can cause a variance in Sempra’s comparative results of operations. Changes in our earnings as a result of foreign currency translation rates between years were negligible in 2022 compared to 2021.

Transactional Impacts

Although the financial statements of most of our Mexican subsidiaries and JVs have the U.S. dollar as the functional currency, some transactions may be denominated in the local currency; such transactions are remeasured into U.S. dollars. This remeasurement creates transactional gains and losses that are included in other income (expense), net, for our consolidated entities and in equity earnings for our JVs.

We utilize cross-currency swaps that 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. The impacts of these cross-currency swaps are offset in OCI and are reclassified from AOCI into earnings through other income (expense), net and interest expense as settlements occur.

Certain of our Mexican pipelines (namely Los Ramones I at IEnova Pipelines and Los Ramones Norte at TAG) generate revenue based on tariffs that are set by government agencies in Mexico, with contracts denominated in Mexican pesos that are indexed to

2022 Form 10-K | 69

Table of Contents

the U.S. dollar, adjusted annually for inflation and fluctuation in the exchange rate. The resultant gains and losses from remeasuring the local currency amounts into U.S. dollars and the offsetting settlement of foreign currency forwards and swaps related to these contracts are included in revenues: energy-related businesses or equity earnings.

Income statement activities at our foreign operations and their JVs are also impacted by transactional gains and losses, a summary of which is shown in the table below:

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate and Inflation Impacts on Income Taxes and Related Hedging Activity

Our Mexican subsidiaries have U.S. dollar-denominated cash balances, receivables, payables and debt (monetary assets and liabilities) that are affected by Mexican currency exchange rate movements for Mexican income tax purposes. They also have deferred income tax assets and liabilities, which are significant, denominated in the Mexican peso that 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. As a result, fluctuations in both the currency exchange rate for the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar and Mexican inflation may expose us to fluctuations in income tax expense, other income (expense), net, and equity earnings. We may use foreign currency derivatives as a means to help manage exposure to the currency exchange rate on our monetary assets and liabilities, and this derivative activity impacts other income (expense), net. However, we generally do not hedge our deferred income tax assets and liabilities, which makes us susceptible to volatility in income tax expense caused by exchange rate fluctuations and inflation.

We also utilized foreign currency derivatives in 2020 to hedge exposure to fluctuations in the Peruvian sol and Chilean peso related to the sales of our operations in Peru and Chile in discontinued operations.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

OVERVIEW

Sempra

Liquidity

We expect to meet our cash requirements through cash flows from operations, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under or supported by our credit facilities, other incurrences of debt including issuing debt securities and obtaining term loans, distributions from our equity method investments, project financing and funding from minority interest owners. We believe that these cash flow sources, combined with available funds, will be adequate to fund our operations in both the short-term and long-term, including to:

▪finance capital expenditures

▪repay debt

▪fund dividends

2022 Form 10-K | 70

Table of Contents

▪fund contractual and other obligations and otherwise meet liquidity requirements

▪fund capital contribution requirements

▪fund new business or asset acquisitions or start-ups

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas currently have reasonable access to the money markets and capital markets and are not currently constrained in their ability to borrow money at market rates from commercial banks, under existing revolving credit facilities, through public offerings registered with the SEC, or through private placements of debt supported by our revolving credit facilities in the case of commercial paper. However, our ability to access the money markets and capital markets or obtain credit from commercial banks outside of our committed revolving credit facilities could become materially constrained if changing economic conditions or disruptions to or volatility in the money markets and capital markets worsen. These sources of funding have become less attractive due to the recent rise in both short-term and long-term interest rates. In addition, our financing activities and actions by credit rating agencies, as well as many other factors, could negatively affect the availability and cost of both short-term and long-term financing. Also, cash flows from operations may be impacted by the timing of commencement and completion, and potentially cost overruns, of large projects and other material events, such as the settlement of material litigation. If cash flows from operations were to be significantly reduced or we were unable to borrow under acceptable terms, we would likely first reduce or postpone discretionary capital expenditures (not related to safety/reliability) and investments in new businesses. We monitor our ability to finance the needs of our operating, investing and financing activities in a manner consistent with our goal to maintain our investment-grade credit ratings.

Available Funds

Our committed lines of credit provide liquidity and support commercial paper. Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas each have five-year credit agreements expiring in 2027 and Sempra Infrastructure has a three-year credit agreement expiring in 2024, committed lines of credit expiring in 2023 and 2024, and an uncommitted revolving credit facility expiring in 2023.

(2)    Available unused credit is the total available on committed and uncommitted lines of credit that we discuss in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Because our commercial paper programs are supported by these lines, we reflect the amount of commercial paper outstanding as a reduction to the available unused credit.

Short-Term Borrowings

We use short-term debt primarily to meet liquidity requirements, fund shareholder dividends, and temporarily finance capital expenditures, acquisitions or start-ups. SDG&E and SoCalGas use short-term debt primarily to meet working capital needs or to help fund event-specific costs, such as payments made by SoCalGas relating to litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak. Commercial paper, lines of credit and term loans were our primary sources of short-term debt funding in 2022.

We discuss our short-term debt activities in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and below in “Sources and Uses of Cash.”

At December 31, 2022, Sempra expects to make interest payments on long-term debt totaling $17.3 billion, of which $1.0 billion is expected to be paid in 2023 and $16.3 billion is expected to be paid in subsequent years through 2079. At December 31, 2022, SDG&E expects to make interest payments on long-term debt totaling $4.9 billion, of which $298 million is expected to be paid in 2023 and $4.6 billion is expected to be paid in subsequent years through 2052. At December 31, 2022, SoCalGas expects to make interest payments on long-term debt totaling $3.9 billion, of which $255 million is expected to be paid in 2023 and $3.6 billion is expected to be paid in subsequent years through 2052. We calculate expected interest payments using the stated interest rate for fixed-rate obligations, including floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps. We calculated expected interest payments for variable-rate obligations based on forecasted rates in effect at December 31, 2022.

We discuss our long-term debt activities, including the use of proceeds on long-term debt issuances, and maturities in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Credit Ratings

The credit ratings of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas remained at investment grade levels in 2022.

CREDIT RATINGS AT DECEMBER 31, 2022
SempraSDG&ESoCalGas
Moody’sBaa2 with a stable outlookA3 with a stable outlookA2 with a stable outlook
S&PBBB+ with a negative outlookBBB+ with a stable outlookA with a negative outlook
FitchBBB+ with a stable outlookBBB+ with a stable outlookA with a stable outlook

A downgrade of Sempra’s or any of its subsidiaries’ credit ratings or rating outlooks may, depending on the severity, result in the imposition of financial or other burdensome covenants or a requirement for collateral to be posted in the case of certain financing arrangements, and may materially and adversely affect the market prices of their equity and debt securities, the rates at which borrowings are made and commercial paper is issued, and the various fees on their outstanding credit facilities. This could make it more costly for Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra’s other subsidiaries to issue debt securities, to borrow under credit facilities and to raise certain other types of financing. We provide additional information about our credit ratings at Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Sempra has agreed that, if the credit rating of 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. Oncor’s senior secured debt was rated A2, A+ and A at Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, at December 31, 2022.

Table of Contents

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas have committed lines of credit to provide liquidity and to support commercial paper. Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at benchmark rates plus a margin that varies with market index rates and each borrower’s credit rating. Each facility also requires a commitment fee on available unused credit that may be impacted by each borrower’s credit rating. For example, assuming a one-notch downgrade:

▪If Sempra were to experience a ratings downgrade from its current level, the rate at which borrowings bear interest would increase by 25 bps. The commitment fee on available unused credit would also increase 5 bps.

▪If SDG&E were to experience a ratings downgrade from its current level, the rate at which borrowings bear interest would increase by 12.5 bps. The commitment fee on available unused credit would also increase 5 bps.

▪If SoCalGas were to experience a ratings downgrade from its current level, the rate at which borrowings bear interest would increase by 12.5 bps. The commitment fee on available unused credit would also increase 2.5 bps.

Sempra’s, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ credit ratings also may affect their respective credit limits related to derivative instruments, as we discuss in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loans to/from Affiliates

At December 31, 2022, Sempra had $301 million in loans due to unconsolidated affiliates. In July 2022, a $626 million loan due to Sempra from an unconsolidated affiliate was paid in full, prior to its March 2023 maturity date.

Postretirement Benefits

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas have significant investments in several trusts to provide for future payments of pensions and PBOP. The trusts’ ability to make ongoing required benefit payments has not been materially adversely affected by changes in asset values, which are dependent on market fluctuations, contributions and withdrawals. However, changes in asset values or other factors in future periods, such as changes to discount rates, assumed rates of return, mortality tables and regulations, may impact funding requirements for pension and PBOP plans. Additionally, contributions to our plans are based on our funding policy, which generally limits payments from exceeding plan assets of 110% of the projected benefit obligation, which are subject to maximum income tax deduction limitations. Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas expect to contribute $238 million, $54 million and $154 million, respectively, to pension and PBOP plans in 2023 and $1.8 billion, $459 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, in the nine years thereafter. At SDG&E and SoCalGas, funding requirements are generally recoverable in rates. We discuss our employee benefit plans and our expected contributions to those plans in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Inflation Reduction Act

The IRA was signed into law in August 2022. The IRA includes tax credits and other incentives for energy and climate initiatives and introduces a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on adjusted financial statement income for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. We continue to assess the impacts of the IRA as the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS issue guidance on tax implementation, and the EPA and DOE issue guidance on energy and climate initiatives. We do not expect the IRA to have a material adverse impact on Sempra’s, SDG&E’s or SoCalGas’ results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

Sempra California

SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ operations have historically provided relatively stable earnings and liquidity. Their future performance and liquidity will depend primarily on the ratemaking and regulatory process, environmental regulations, economic conditions, actions by the California legislature, litigation and the changing energy marketplace, as well as other matters described in this report. SDG&E and SoCalGas expect that the available unused funds from their credit facilities described above, which also supports their commercial paper programs, cash flows from operations, and other incurrences of debt including issuing debt securities and obtaining term loans will continue to be adequate to fund their respective current operations and planned capital expenditures. Additionally, as we discuss below, Sempra elected to make equity contributions to SoCalGas of $800 million in September 2021, $150 million in June 2022 and $500 million in August 2022. These voluntary equity contributions were intended to assist SoCalGas in maintaining its authorized capital structure. SDG&E and SoCalGas manage their capital structures and pay dividends when appropriate and as approved by their respective boards of directors.

As we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, changes in balancing accounts for significant costs at SDG&E and SoCalGas, particularly a change between over- and undercollected status, may have a significant impact on cash flows. These changes generally represent the difference between when costs are incurred and when they are ultimately recovered or refunded in rates through billings to customers.

COVID-19 Pandemic Protections

SDG&E and SoCalGas are continuing to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on cash flows and results of operations. Some customers have experienced and continue to experience a diminished ability to pay their electric or gas bills, leading to slower payments and higher levels of nonpayment than has been the case historically. These impacts could become significant and could require modifications to our financing plans.

In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and at the direction of the CPUC, SDG&E and SoCalGas implemented certain measures to assist customers, including automatically enrolling residential and small business customers with past-due balances in long-term repayment plans.

In 2021, SDG&E and SoCalGas applied, on behalf of their customers, for financial assistance from the California Department of Community Services and Development under the 2021 California Arrearage Payment Program, which provided funds of $63 million and $79 million for SDG&E and SoCalGas, respectively. In the first quarter of 2022, SDG&E and SoCalGas received and applied the amounts directly to eligible customer accounts to reduce past due balances. In June 2022, AB 205 was approved establishing, among other things, the 2022 California Arrearage Payment Program. In December 2022, SDG&E and SoCalGas received funding of $51 million and $59 million, respectively, related to this program and, in January 2023, applied the amounts directly to eligible customer accounts to reduce past due balances.

SDG&E

Wildfire Fund

The carrying value of SDG&E’s Wildfire Fund asset totaled $332 million at December 31, 2022. We describe the Wildfire Legislation and SDG&E’s commitment to make annual shareholder contributions to the Wildfire Fund through 2028 in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

SDG&E is exposed to the risk that the participating California electric IOUs may incur third-party wildfire costs for which they will seek recovery from the Wildfire Fund with respect to wildfires that have occurred since enactment of the Wildfire Legislation in July 2019. In such a situation, SDG&E may recognize a reduction of its Wildfire Fund asset and record an impairment charge against earnings when available coverage is reduced due to recoverable claims from any of the participating IOUs. PG&E has indicated that it will seek reimbursement from the Wildfire Fund for losses associated with the Dixie Fire, which burned from July 2021 through October 2021 and was reported to be the largest single wildfire (measured by acres burned) in California history. If any California electric IOU’s equipment is determined to be a cause of a fire, it could have a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra’s financial condition and results of operations up to the carrying value of our Wildfire Fund asset, with additional potential material exposure if SDG&E’s equipment is determined to be a cause of a fire. In addition, the Wildfire Fund could be completely exhausted due to fires in the other California electric IOUs’ service territories, by fires in SDG&E’s service territory or by a combination thereof. In the event that the Wildfire Fund is materially diminished, exhausted or terminated, SDG&E will lose the protection afforded by the Wildfire Fund, and as a consequence, a fire in SDG&E’s service territory could have a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Wildfire Mitigation Cost Recovery Mechanism

In July 2021, SDG&E filed a request with the CPUC to establish an interim cost recovery mechanism that would recover 50% of its costs associated with implementation of its wildfire mitigation plan. The proposed recovery would be incremental to wildfire costs currently authorized in its GRC and subject to reasonableness review. In May 2022, the CPUC issued a final decision denying SDG&E’s request and directing SDG&E to file for the review and recovery of its wildfire mitigation plan costs through its next GRC or a separate application. SDG&E expects to submit separate requests in its GRC for review and recovery of its wildfire mitigation plan costs in mid-2023 for costs incurred from 2019 through 2022 and in mid-2024 for costs incurred in 2023.

SONGS Decommissioning

SDG&E has significant investments in the SONGS NDT to provide for future payments of nuclear decommissioning. The NDT’s ability to make ongoing required payments have not been materially or adversely affected by changes in asset values, which are dependent on market fluctuations, contributions and withdrawals. However, asset values could be materially and adversely affected by future activity in the equity and fixed income markets, and changes in the estimated decommissioning costs, or in the assumptions and judgments made by management underlying these estimates, could cause revisions to the estimated total cost associated with retiring the assets. Funding requirements are generally recoverable in rates. We discuss SDG&E’s NDT and its expected SONGS decommissioning payments in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

SDG&E has entered into PPAs and tolling agreements that are variable interests in unconsolidated entities. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

SoCalGas

SoCalGas’ future performance and liquidity may be impacted by the resolution of legal, regulatory and other matters pertaining to the Leak, which we discuss below, in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak

From October 23, 2015 through February 11, 2016, SoCalGas experienced the Leak.

Cost Estimate, Insurance and Accounting and Other Impacts. At December 31, 2022, SoCalGas estimates certain costs related to the Leak are $3,486 million (the cost estimate), including $1,279 million of costs recovered from insurance. Other than insurance for directors’ and officers’ liability, we have exhausted all of our insurance for this matter. We continue to pursue other sources of insurance coverage for costs related to this matter, but we may not be successful in obtaining additional insurance recovery for any of these costs. At December 31, 2022, $129 million of the cost estimate is accrued in Reserve for Aliso Canyon Costs and $4 million of the cost estimate is accrued in Deferred Credits and Other on SoCalGas’ and Sempra’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Sempra elected to make equity contributions to SoCalGas of $800 million in September 2021, $150 million in June 2022 and $500 million in August 2022. These voluntary equity contributions were intended to assist SoCalGas in maintaining its authorized capital structure. SoCalGas paid $1.79 billion in 2022 related to the settlement of the Individual Plaintiff Litigation. SoCalGas funded the settlement payment using a combination of equity contributions from Sempra, short-term debt and cash on hand.

Except for the amounts paid or estimated to settle certain legal and regulatory matters, the cost estimate does not include any amounts necessary to resolve the matters that we describe in “Litigation – Unresolved” and “Regulatory Proceedings – Unresolved” in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, threatened litigation, other potential litigation or other costs, in each case to the extent it is not possible to predict at this time the outcome of these actions or reasonably estimate the possible costs or a range of possible costs. Further, we are not able to reasonably estimate the possible loss or a range of possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued. The costs or losses not included in the cost estimate could be significant.

An adverse outcome with respect to (i) the litigation described in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under “Litigation – Unresolved,” (ii) threatened or other potential litigation related to the Leak, (iii) the Leak OII that we discuss in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, if approval of the negotiated settlement is not obtained, or (iv) the unresolved proceeding pursuant to the SB 380 OII that we discuss below, could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Natural Gas Storage Operations and Reliability. Natural gas withdrawn from storage is important for service reliability during peak demand periods, including peak electric generation needs in the summer and consumer heating needs in the winter. The Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility is the largest SoCalGas storage facility and an important component of SoCalGas’ delivery system. As a result of the Leak, the CPUC has issued a series of directives to SoCalGas specifying the range of working gas to be maintained in the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility as well as protocols for the withdrawal of gas, to support safe and reliable natural gas service. In February 2017, the CPUC opened a proceeding pursuant to the SB 380 OII to determine the feasibility of minimizing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility while still maintaining energy and electric reliability for the region, including considering alternative means for meeting or avoiding the demand for the facility’s services if it were eliminated.

At December 31, 2022, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility had a net book value of $958 million. If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were to be permanently closed or if future cash flows from its operation were otherwise insufficient to recover its carrying value, we may record an impairment of the facility, which could be material, or we could incur materially higher than expected operating costs and/or be required to make material additional capital expenditures (any or all of which may not be recoverable in rates), and natural gas reliability and electric generation could be jeopardized.

Sempra Texas Utilities

Oncor relies on external financing as a significant source of liquidity for its capital requirements. In the event that Oncor fails to meet its capital requirements, access sufficient capital, or raise capital on favorable terms to finance its ongoing needs, we may elect to make additional capital contributions to Oncor (as our commitments to the PUCT prohibit us from making loans to Oncor), which could be substantial and reduce the cash available to us for other purposes, increase our indebtedness and ultimately materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. Oncor’s ability to make distributions may be limited by factors such as its credit ratings, regulatory capital requirements, increases in its capital plan, debt-to-equity ratio approved by the PUCT and other restrictions and considerations. In addition, Oncor will not make distributions if a majority of Oncor’s independent directors or any minority member director determines it is in the best interests of Oncor to retain such amounts to meet expected future requirements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

Our investment in Oncor Holdings is a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sempra Infrastructure

Sempra Infrastructure expects to fund capital expenditures, investments and operations in part with available funds, including credit facilities, and cash flows from operations of the Sempra Infrastructure businesses. We expect Sempra Infrastructure will require additional funding for the development and expansion of its portfolio of projects, which may be financed through a combination of funding from the parent and minority interest owners, bank financing, issuances of debt, project financing and partnering in JVs. We describe Sempra Infrastructure’s commitments related to construction and development projects in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2022, we completed the sale of a 10% NCI in SI Partners to ADIA for cash proceeds of $1.7 billion. We used a portion of the proceeds from the sale to ADIA to repay commercial paper borrowings used to repurchase $750 million in shares of our common stock ($300 million of which was completed in the fourth quarter of 2021, $200 million of which was completed in the first quarter of 2022 and $250 million of which was completed in the second quarter of 2022), and we used the remaining proceeds to help fund capital expenditures at Sempra California and Sempra Texas Utilities and to further strengthen our balance sheet.

Following the closing of the ADIA transaction, Sempra, KKR and ADIA directly or indirectly own a 70%, 20%, and 10% interest, respectively, in SI Partners. The sale of NCI in SI Partners to ADIA has reduced our ownership interest in SI Partners and requires us to involve a new minority partner in making certain business decisions. Moreover, the decrease in our ownership of SI Partners also decreases our share of the cash flows, profits and other benefits these businesses currently or may in the future produce.

In 2022, SI Partners distributed $237 million to its minority shareholders.

LNG and Net-Zero Solutions

Cameron LNG Phase 2 Project. Cameron LNG JV is developing a proposed expansion project that would add one liquefaction train with an expected maximum production capacity of approximately 6.75 Mtpa and would increase the production capacity of the existing three trains at the Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility by up to approximately 1 Mtpa through debottlenecking activities. The Cameron LNG JV site can accommodate additional trains beyond the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project.

Cameron LNG JV previously received major permits and FTA and non-FTA approvals associated with the potential expansion that included up to two additional liquefaction trains and up to two additional full containment LNG storage tanks. In January 2022, Cameron LNG JV filed an amendment, subject to approval by the FERC, to modify the permits to allow the use of electric drives, instead of gas turbine drives, which would reduce overall emissions. The amendment, if approved, would also change the design from a two-train gas turbine expansion to a one-train electric drive expansion along with other design enhancements that, together, are expected to result in a more cost-effective and efficient facility, while also reducing overall GHG emissions.

Sempra Infrastructure and the other Cameron LNG JV members, namely affiliates of TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Japan LNG Investment, LLC, a company jointly owned by Mitsubishi Corporation and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha, have entered into an HOA for the potential development of the Cameron LNG Phase 2 project. The HOA provides a commercial framework for the proposed project, including the contemplated allocation to Sempra Infrastructure of 50.2% of the fourth train production capacity and 25% of the debottlenecking capacity from the project under tolling agreements. The HOA contemplates the remaining capacity to be allocated equally to the existing Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility customers. Sempra Infrastructure plans to sell the LNG corresponding to its allocated capacity from the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project under long-term

SPAs prior to making a final investment decision. The HOA is a non-binding arrangement. The ultimate participation in and offtake by Sempra Infrastructure, TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Japan LNG Investment, LLC remain subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors, and the HOA does not commit any party to enter into definitive agreements with respect to the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project.

Sempra Infrastructure, the other Cameron LNG JV members, and Cameron LNG JV have entered into a Phase 2 Project Development Agreement under which Sempra Infrastructure, subject to certain conditions and ongoing approvals by the Cameron LNG JV board, will manage and lead the Cameron LNG Phase 2 project development work until Cameron LNG JV makes a final investment decision.

Cameron LNG JV, upon the unanimous approval of the Cameron LNG JV board, awarded two FEED contracts, one to Bechtel and the other to a joint venture between JGC America Inc. and Zachry Industrial Inc. At the conclusion of the resulting competitive FEED process, we expect to select one contractor to be the EPC contractor for the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project.

In connection with the execution of the Phase 2 Project Development Agreement and the award of the FEED contracts, the Cameron LNG JV board unanimously approved an expansion development budget to fund, subject to the terms of the Phase 2 Project Development Agreement, development work necessary to prepare for a potential final investment decision.

Cameron LNG JV has entered into an MOU with Entergy Louisiana, LLC, a subsidiary of Entergy Corporation, to negotiate the terms and conditions for a new electric service agreement intended to reduce Cameron LNG JV’s scope 2 emissions from the electricity it purchases from Entergy Louisiana, LLC. The MOU sets forth a framework for Entergy Louisiana, LLC and Cameron LNG JV to finalize and sign a minimum 20-year agreement for the procurement of new renewable generation resources in Louisiana, subject to the ultimate approval of the Louisiana Public Service Commission and Cameron LNG JV. The MOU is a non-binding arrangement. The ultimate arrangement between Cameron LNG JV and Entergy Louisiana, LLC remains subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors, and the MOU does not commit any party to enter into definitive agreements with respect to the proposed electric services agreement.

Sempra Infrastructure has entered into a non-binding HOA for the negotiation and potential finalization of a definitive 20-year SPA with ORLEN for 2 Mtpa of LNG offtake from the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project. Sempra Infrastructure also entered into a non-binding HOA for the negotiation and potential finalization of definitive SPAs with Williams for two 20-year terms for approximately 3 Mtpa of LNG offtake in the aggregate from the PA LNG Phase 2 project and Cameron LNG Phase 2 project that are under development, and a separate natural gas sales agreement for approximately 0.5 Bcf per day to be delivered as feed gas supply for the proposed PA LNG projects and Cameron LNG Phase 2 project. In addition, the parties anticipate forming a strategic JV to own, expand and operate the existing Cameron Interstate Pipeline that we expect will deliver natural gas to the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project and the proposed Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector that we expect will deliver natural gas to the proposed PA LNG projects. The ultimate participation in and offtake from the proposed projects remain subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors, and the HOAs do not commit any party to enter into definitive agreements with respect to any of the applicable proposed projects.

Expansion of the Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility beyond the first three trains is subject to certain restrictions and conditions under the JV project financing agreements, including among others, scope restrictions on expansion of the project unless appropriate prior consent is obtained from the existing project lenders. Under the Cameron LNG JV equity agreements, the expansion of the project requires the unanimous consent of all the partners, including with respect to the equity investment obligation of each partner. Working under the framework established in the Phase 2 Project Development Agreement, Sempra Infrastructure is targeting completing the FEED work in the summer of 2023 and expects to be in a position to make a final investment decision shortly thereafter. The timing of when or if Cameron LNG JV will receive approval from the FERC to amend its permits and from the existing project lenders to conduct the expansion under its financing agreements is uncertain, and there is no assurance that Sempra Infrastructure will complete the necessary development work or that the Cameron LNG JV members will unanimously agree in a timely manner or at all on making a final investment decision, which, if not accomplished, would materially and adversely impact the development of the Cameron LNG Phase 2 project.

The development of the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project is subject to numerous other risks and uncertainties, including securing binding customer commitments; reaching unanimous agreement with our partners to proceed; obtaining and maintaining a number of permits and regulatory approvals, including approval from the FERC for amendments to existing permits; securing certain consents under the existing financing agreements and securing sufficient new financing; negotiating and completing suitable commercial agreements for the project, including a definitive EPC contract and definitive tolling and governance agreements; reaching a positive final investment decision; and other factors associated with this potential investment. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

ECA LNG Phase 1 Project. SI Partners owns an 83.4% interest in ECA LNG Phase 1, and an affiliate of TotalEnergies SE owns the remaining 16.6% interest. ECA LNG Phase 1 is constructing a one-train natural gas liquefaction facility at the site of Sempra Infrastructure’s existing ECA Regas Facility with a nameplate capacity of 3.25 Mtpa and an initial offtake capacity of 2.5 Mtpa. We do not expect the construction or operation of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project to disrupt operations at the ECA Regas Facility, and have planned measures to limit disruption of operations should any arise. We expect the ECA LNG Phase 1 project to commence commercial operations in the summer of 2025.

We received authorizations from the DOE to export U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and to re-export LNG to non-FTA countries from the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. ECA LNG Phase 1 has definitive 20-year SPAs with an affiliate of TotalEnergies SE for approximately 1.7 Mtpa of LNG and with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. for approximately 0.8 Mtpa of LNG.

In February 2020, we entered into an EPC contract with Technip Energies for the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. Since reaching a positive final investment decision with respect to the project in November 2020, Technip Energies has been working to construct the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. We estimate the total price of the EPC contract to be approximately $1.5 billion, with capital expenditures approximating $2.0 billion including capitalized interest and project contingency. The actual cost of the EPC contract and the actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates.

ECA LNG Phase 1 has a five-year loan agreement with a syndicate of seven external lenders that matures in December 2025 for an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.3 billion, of which $575 million was outstanding at December 31, 2022. Proceeds from the loan are being used to finance the cost of construction of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. We discuss the details of this loan in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The construction of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including maintaining permits and regulatory approvals; construction delays; securing and maintaining commercial arrangements, such as gas supply and transportation agreements; the impact of recent and proposed changes to the law in Mexico; and other factors associated with the project and its construction. In addition, as we discuss in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, an unfavorable decision on certain property disputes or permit challenges could materially adversely affect construction of this project and Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects, including the impairment of all or a substantial portion of the capital costs invested in the project to date. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

ECA LNG Phase 2 Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing a second, large-scale natural gas liquefaction project at the site of its existing ECA Regas Facility. We expect the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project to be comprised of two trains and one LNG storage tank and produce approximately 12 Mtpa of export capacity. We expect that construction of the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project would conflict with the current operations at the ECA Regas Facility, which currently has long-term regasification contracts for 100% of the regasification facility’s capacity through 2028. This makes the decisions on whether, when and how to pursue the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project dependent in part on whether the investment in a large-scale liquefaction facility would, over the long term, be more beneficial financially than continuing to supply regasification services under our existing contracts.

We received authorizations from the DOE to export U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and to re-export LNG to non-FTA countries from the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project.

We have MOUs and/or HOAs with Mitsui & Co., Ltd., TotalEnergies SE, and ConocoPhillips that provide a framework for their potential offtake of LNG from the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project and potential acquisition of an equity interest in ECA LNG Phase 2. These MOUs and HOAs are non-binding arrangements. The ultimate participation in and offtake by these parties remains subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors, and the MOUs and HOAs do not commit any party to enter into definitive agreements with respect to the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project.

Development of the ECA LNG Phase 2 project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including obtaining binding customer commitments; the receipt of a number of permits and regulatory approvals; obtaining financing; negotiating and completing suitable commercial agreements, including a definitive EPC contract, equity acquisition and governance agreements, LNG sales agreements and gas supply and transportation agreements; reaching a positive final investment decision; the impact of recent and proposed changes to the law in Mexico; the property disputes and permit challenges that we reference in the ECA LNG Phase 1 project discussion above; and other factors associated with this potential investment.

PA LNG Phase 1 Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing a proposed natural gas liquefaction project on a greenfield site that it owns in the vicinity of Port Arthur, Texas, located along the Sabine-Neches waterway. We are developing the PA LNG Phase 1 project, which we expect will consist of two liquefaction trains, two LNG storage tanks, a marine berth and associated loading facilities and related infrastructure necessary to provide liquefaction services with a nameplate capacity of approximately 13 Mtpa and an initial offtake capacity of approximately 10.5 Mtpa.

2022 Form 10-K | 78

Table of Contents

In April 2019, the FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the proposed PA LNG Phase 1 project facilities, along with certain natural gas pipelines, including the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector and Texas Connector, that could be used to supply feed gas to the liquefaction facility if and when the project is completed. Sempra Infrastructure received authorizations from the DOE in August 2015 and May 2019 that collectively permit the LNG to be produced from the proposed PA LNG Phase 1 project to be exported to all current and future FTA and non-FTA countries.

Sempra Infrastructure has entered into the following definitive SPAs, each of which is subject to making a positive final investment decision and customary closing conditions, for LNG offtake from the proposed PA LNG Phase 1 project with:

▪ConocoPhillips for a 20-year term for 5 Mtpa of LNG. In addition, the parties entered into an equity purchase and sale agreement whereby ConocoPhillips will acquire a 30% ownership interest in the proposed PA LNG Phase 1 project, and a natural gas supply management agreement whereby ConocoPhillips will manage the feed gas supply requirements for the proposed facility.

▪RWE Supply & Trading GmbH, a subsidiary of RWE AG, for a 15-year term for 2.25 Mtpa of LNG.

▪INEOS for a 20-year term for approximately 1.4 Mtpa of LNG.

▪ORLEN for a 20-year term for approximately 1 Mtpa of LNG.

▪ENGIE S.A. for a 15-year term for approximately 0.875 Mtpa of LNG.

In February 2020, we entered into an EPC contract with Bechtel for the proposed PA LNG Phase 1 project. We have no obligation to move forward under the EPC contract, and we may release Bechtel to perform portions of the work pursuant to limited notices to proceed. In October 2022, we amended and restated the EPC contract to reflect an estimated price of approximately $10.5 billion, subject to adjustments. The contract price is valid until May 8, 2023, subject to certain conditions, including timely issuances of limited notices to proceed and price escalations of up to a maximum of $149 million. Sempra Infrastructure and Bechtel must mutually agree to an adjustment to the contract price if the full notice to proceed is issued after May 8, 2023. Any agreement on such an amendment to the EPC contract by both parties or on favorable terms to Sempra Infrastructure cannot be assured. Either party may terminate the EPC contract if the full notice to proceed is not issued by May 8, 2024.

We are progressing the development of the proposed PA LNG Phase 1 project, and are targeting a final investment decision in the first quarter of 2023 taking into account market demands given the current geopolitical environment, executing definitive agreements for LNG offtake and equity investments, and obtaining financing.

Development of the PA LNG Phase 1 project is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including obtaining binding customer commitments; identifying suitable project and equity partners; completing the required commercial agreements, such as equity acquisition and governance agreements and gas supply and transportation agreements; maintaining all necessary permits and approvals; obtaining financing and incentives; reaching a positive final investment decision; and other factors associated with the potential investment. An unfavorable outcome with respect to any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects, including the impairment of all or a substantial portion of the capital costs invested in the project to date. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

PA LNG Phase 2 Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing a second phase of the natural gas liquefaction project that we expect will be a similar size to the proposed PA LNG Phase 1 project. We are progressing the development of the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project, while continuing to evaluate overall opportunities to develop the entirety of the Port Arthur site as well as potential design changes that could reduce overall emissions, including a facility design utilizing renewable power sourcing and other technological solutions.

In February 2020, Sempra Infrastructure filed an application, subject to approval by the FERC, for the siting, construction and operation of the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project, including the potential addition of up to two liquefaction trains. Also in February 2020, Sempra Infrastructure filed an application with the DOE to permit LNG produced from the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project to be exported to all current and future FTA and non-FTA countries.

Sempra Infrastructure has entered into non-binding HOAs for the negotiation and potential finalization of definitive SPAs with INEOS for approximately 0.2 Mtpa of LNG offtake and with Williams, as we discuss above, for LNG offtake, in each case from the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project. The ultimate participation in and offtake from the proposed project remains subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors, and the HOAs do not commit any party to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the proposed project.

Development of the PA LNG Phase 2 project is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including obtaining binding customer commitments; identifying suitable project and equity partners; completing the required commercial agreements, such as equity acquisition and governance agreements, LNG sales agreements and gas supply and transportation agreements; securing and

maintaining all necessary permits and approvals, including approval from the FERC; obtaining financing and incentives; reaching a positive final investment decision; and other factors associated with the potential investment. An unfavorable outcome with respect to any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects, including the impairment of all or a substantial portion of the capital costs invested in the project to date. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Vista Pacifico LNG Liquefaction Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing Vista Pacifico LNG, a potential natural gas liquefaction, storage, and mid-scale export facility proposed to be located in the vicinity of Topolobampo in Sinaloa, Mexico, under an MOU with the CFE, which was subsequently updated in July 2022, that contemplates the negotiation of definitive agreements that would cover development of Vista Pacifico LNG and the re-routing of a portion of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline and resumption of its operations. The proposed LNG export terminal would be supplied with U.S. natural gas and would use excess natural gas and pipeline capacity on existing pipelines in Mexico with the intent of helping to meet growing demand for natural gas and LNG in the Mexican and Pacific markets.

Sempra Infrastructure received authorization from the DOE to permit the export of U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and for LNG produced from the proposed Vista Pacifico LNG facility to be re-exported to all current and future FTA countries in April 2021 and non-FTA countries in December 2022.

In March 2022, TotalEnergies SE and Sempra Infrastructure entered into an MOU that contemplates TotalEnergies SE potentially contracting approximately one-third of the long-term export production of the proposed Vista Pacifico LNG project and potentially participating as a minority partner in the project.

The MOUs related to the proposed Vista Pacifico LNG project are non-binding arrangements. The ultimate participation in and offtake from the proposed project remain subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors, and the MOUs do not commit any party to enter into definitive agreements with respect to the project.

The development of the potential Vista Pacifico LNG project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including securing binding customer commitments; obtaining and maintaining a number of permits and regulatory approvals; securing financing; identifying suitable project partners; negotiating and completing suitable commercial agreements, including definitive EPC contracts, equity acquisition and governance agreements, LNG sales agreements and gas supply and transportation agreements; reaching a positive final investment decision; the impact of recent and proposed changes to the law in Mexico; and other factors associated with this potential investment. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Hackberry Carbon Sequestration Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing the potential Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project near Hackberry, Louisiana. This proposed project under development is designed to permanently sequester carbon dioxide from the Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility and the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project. In the third quarter of 2021, Sempra Infrastructure filed an application with the EPA for a Class VI carbon injection well to advance this project.

In May 2022, Sempra Infrastructure, TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation signed a Participation Agreement for the development of the proposed Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project. The Participation Agreement contemplates that the combined Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility and proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project would potentially serve as the anchor source for the capture and sequestration of carbon dioxide by the proposed project. It also provides the basis for the parties to enter into a JV with Sempra Infrastructure for the Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project.

The development of the potential Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including obtaining required consents from the Cameron LNG JV members, securing binding customer commitments; identifying suitable project partners; obtaining and maintaining a number of permits and regulatory approvals; securing financing; negotiating and completing suitable commercial agreements, including a definitive EPC contract, and equity acquisition and governance agreements; reaching a positive final investment decision; and other factors associated with this potential investment. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Asset and Supply Optimization. As we discuss in “Part II – Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” Sempra Infrastructure enters into hedging transactions to help mitigate commodity price risk. Sempra Infrastructure posted net margin of approximately $1.4 billion in 2022 and anticipates that, once the natural gas is sold and derivatives are settled, the previously unrealized gains or losses associated with the economic hedge positions would be realized, with the cash collateral posted largely offset by collections from natural gas sales.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. Our investment in Cameron LNG JV is a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2021, Sempra provided a promissory note, which constitutes a guarantee, for the benefit of Cameron LNG JV with a maximum exposure to loss of $165 million. 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. We discuss this guarantee in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2020, Sempra entered into a Support Agreement, which contains a guarantee and represents a variable interest, for the benefit of CFIN with a maximum exposure to loss of $979 million. The guarantee will terminate upon full repayment of the guaranteed debt by 2039, including repayment following an event in which the guaranteed debt is put to Sempra. We discuss this guarantee in Notes 1, 6 and 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Energy Networks

Construction Projects. In 2022, Sempra Infrastructure completed construction of a terminal for the receipt, storage, and delivery of refined products in the vicinity of Puebla. Sempra Infrastructure is also developing terminals for the receipt, storage, and delivery of refined products in the vicinity of Manzanillo and Ensenada.

As part of an industrywide audit and investigative process initiated by the CRE to enforce fuel procurement laws, federal prosecutors conducted inspections at several refined products terminals, including Sempra Infrastructure’s refined products terminal in Puebla, to confirm that the gasoline and/or diesel in storage were legally imported. During the inspection of the Puebla terminal in September 2021, a federal prosecutor took samples from all the train and storage tanks in the terminal and ordered that the facility be temporarily shut down during the pendency of the analysis of the samples and investigation, while leaving the terminal in Sempra Infrastructure’s custody. In November 2021, the CRE notified Sempra Infrastructure that it had started a process to revoke Sempra Infrastructure’s storage permit at the Puebla terminal. In December 2021, Sempra Infrastructure filed its response to the CRE. In May 2022, the CRE provided a final resolution that stopped the permit revocation process. In August 2022, the federal prosecutor concluded the investigation and lifted the order that had temporarily shut down the facility. Commissioning activities were restarted, and commercial operations commenced in October 2022.

Construction of the Topolobampo terminal was substantially completed in May 2022, at which time commissioning activities commenced. Subject to the receipt of pending permits, we expect the Topolobampo terminal will commence commercial operations in the first half of 2023.

The ability to successfully complete major construction projects is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. For a discussion of these risks and uncertainties, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Clean Power

Construction Projects. ESJ completed construction and began commercial operations of a second, 108-MW wind power generation facility in January 2022. This second wind power generation facility is fully contracted by SDG&E under a long-term PPA expiring in 2042.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

See Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” for discussions of the following legal and regulatory matters affecting our operations in Mexico:

Energía Costa Azul

▪Land Disputes

▪Environmental and Social Impact Permits

One or more unfavorable final decisions on these land disputes or environmental and social impact permit challenges could materially adversely affect our existing natural gas regasification operations and proposed natural gas liquefaction projects at the site of the ECA Regas Facility and have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Sonora Pipeline

▪Guaymas-El Oro Segment

Our investment in the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline could be subject to impairment if Sempra Infrastructure and the CFE are unable to re-route a portion of the pipeline (which has not been agreed to by the parties, but is subject to negotiation pursuant to a non-binding MOU and a Shareholders’ Agreement with the CFE that remains subject to regulatory and corporate authorizations) and resume operations or if Sempra Infrastructure terminates the contract and is unable to obtain recovery. Any such occurrence could have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Regulatory and Other Actions by the Mexican Government

▪Amendments to Mexico’s Hydrocarbons Law

▪Amendments to Mexico’s Electricity Industry Law

Sempra Infrastructure and other parties affected by these amendments to Mexican law have challenged them by filing amparo and other claims, some of which remain pending. An unfavorable decision on one or more of these amparo or other challenges, the impact of the amendments that have become effective (due to unsuccessful amparo challenges or otherwise), or the possibility of future reforms to the energy industry through additional amendments to Mexican laws, regulations or rules (including through amendments to the constitution) may impact our ability to operate our facilities at existing levels or at all, may result in increased costs for Sempra Infrastructure and its customers, may adversely affect our ability to develop new projects, may result in decreased revenues and cash flows, and may negatively impact our ability to recover the carrying values of our investments in Mexico, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Future Capital Expenditures and Investments

The amounts and timing of capital expenditures and certain investments are generally subject to approvals by various regulatory and other governmental and environmental bodies, including the CPUC, the FERC and the PUCT, and various other factors described in this MD&A and in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.” In 2023, we expect to make capital expenditures and investments of approximately $5.7 billion (which excludes capital expenditures that will be funded by unconsolidated entities), as summarized by segment in the following table.

FUTURE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND INVESTMENTS
(Dollars in millions)
Year ending December 31, 2023
SDG&E$2,300
SoCalGas2,100
Sempra Texas Utilities300
Sempra Infrastructure1,000
Total$5,700

We expect the majority of our capital expenditures and investments in 2023 will relate to transmission and distribution improvements at our regulated public utilities, and construction of the ECA LNG Phase 1 liquefaction project and natural gas pipelines at Sempra Infrastructure.

From 2023 through 2026, and subject to the factors described below, which could cause these estimates to vary substantially, Sempra expects to make aggregate capital expenditures and investments of approximately $18.7 billion (which excludes capital expenditures that will be funded by unconsolidated entities), as follows: $8.9 billion at SDG&E, $7.8 billion at SoCalGas, $0.8 billion at Sempra Texas Utilities and $1.2 billion at Sempra Infrastructure. Capital expenditure amounts include capitalized interest and AFUDC related to debt.

Periodically, we review our construction, investment and financing programs and revise them in response to changes in regulation, economic conditions, competition, customer growth, inflation, customer rates, the cost and availability of capital, and safety and environmental requirements.

2022 Form 10-K | 84

Table of Contents

Our level of capital expenditures and investments in the next few years may vary substantially and will depend on, among other things, the cost and availability of financing, regulatory approvals, changes in U.S. federal tax law and business opportunities providing desirable rates of return. See “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” for a discussion of other factors that could affect future levels of our capital expenditures and investments. We intend to finance our capital expenditures in a manner that will maintain our investment-grade credit ratings and capital structure, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so.

Weighted-Average Rate Base

Rate base is the value of assets on which SDG&E and SoCalGas are permitted to earn a specified rate of return in accordance with rules set by regulatory agencies, including the CPUC and the FERC (for SDG&E), which is calculated using a 13-month average in accordance with CPUC methodology as adopted in rate-setting proceedings. The following table summarizes the weighted-average rate base for SDG&E and SoCalGas for the last three years.

WEIGHTED-AVERAGE RATE BASE
(Dollars in millions)
202220212020
SDG&E$13,780$12,527$11,109
SoCalGas10,4949,3718,228

The increase in weighted-average rate base reflects the significant capital investments that SDG&E and SoCalGas have made in transmission and distribution safety and reliability. We expect the weighted-average rate base to continue to increase in 2023 based on our expected capital investments.

Capital Stock Transactions

Sempra

Cash provided by issuances of common and preferred stock was:

▪$4 million in 2022

▪$5 million in 2021

▪$902 million in 2020

Cash used for repurchases of common stock was:

▪$478 million in 2022

▪$339 million in 2021

▪$566 million in 2020

Sempra Common Stock Repurchases. As we discuss in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we repurchased 1,472,756 shares of our common stock for $200 million pursuant to an ASR program that was completed in February 2022. We repurchased an additional 1,471,957 shares of our common stock for $250 million pursuant to an ASR program that was completed in April 2022. These share repurchases were funded with commercial paper borrowings that we repaid with a portion of the proceeds received from the sale of NCI in SI Partners to ADIA, which closed in June 2022.

Dividends

Sempra

Sempra paid cash dividends of:

▪$1,430 million for common stock and $44 million for preferred stock in 2022

▪$1,331 million for common stock and $99 million for preferred stock in 2021

▪$1,174 million for common stock and $157 million for preferred stock in 2020

DIVIDENDS PER SHARE ON SEMPRA COMMON STOCK
(As approved by our board of directors)

On February 27, 2023, our board of directors declared a dividend of $1.19 per share on our common stock and a dividend of $24.375 per share on our series C preferred stock, both payable on April 15, 2023.

All declarations of dividends on our common stock and preferred stock are made at the discretion of the board of directors. While we view dividends as an integral component of shareholder return, the amount of future dividends will depend on earnings, cash flows, financial and legal requirements, and other relevant factors at that time. As a result, Sempra’s dividends on common stock and preferred stock declared on a historical basis may not be indicative of future declarations.

SDG&E

In 2022, 2021 and 2020, SDG&E paid common stock dividends to Enova and Enova paid corresponding dividends to Sempra of $100 million, $300 million and $200 million, respectively. SDG&E’s dividends on common stock declared on an annual historical basis may not be indicative of future declarations and could be impacted over the next few years in order for SDG&E to maintain its authorized capital structure while managing its capital investment program.

Enova, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra, owns all of SDG&E’s outstanding common stock. Accordingly, dividends paid by SDG&E to Enova and dividends paid by Enova to Sempra are eliminated in Sempra’s consolidated financial statements.

SoCalGas

SoCalGas did not declare or pay common stock dividends in 2022. In 2021 and 2020, SoCalGas paid common stock dividends to PE and PE paid corresponding dividends to Sempra of $75 million and $100 million, respectively. SoCalGas’ dividends on common stock declared on an annual historical basis may not be indicative of future declarations and could be impacted over the next few years in order for SoCalGas to maintain its authorized capital structure.

PE, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra, owns all of SoCalGas’ outstanding common stock. Accordingly, dividends paid by SoCalGas to PE and dividends paid by PE to Sempra are eliminated in Sempra’s consolidated financial statements.

Dividend Restrictions

The board of directors for each of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas has the discretion to determine whether to declare and, if declared, the amount of any dividends by each such entity. The CPUC’s regulation of SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ capital structures limits the amounts that are available for loans and dividends to Sempra. At December 31, 2022, based on these regulations,

2022 Form 10-K | 86

Table of Contents

Sempra could have received combined loans and dividends of approximately $504 million from SDG&E and $347 million from SoCalGas. In addition, the terms of Sempra’s series C preferred stock limit Sempra’s ability to declare dividends on its common stock under certain circumstances.

We provide additional information about dividend restrictions in “Restricted Net Assets” in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Book Value Per Common Share

Sempra’s book value per common share on the last day of each of the last three fiscal years was as follows:

▪$83.43 in 2022

▪$79.17 in 2021

▪$70.11 in 2020

The increase in 2022 was primarily due to comprehensive income exceeding dividends and a fair value that was higher than carrying value related to the change in ownership, which did not result in a change of control, from the sale of NCI in SI Partners to ADIA. In 2021, the increase was primarily due to a fair value that was higher than carrying value related to the change in ownership, which did not result in a change of control, from the sale of NCI in SI Partners to KKR, the IEnova exchange offer and subsequent cash tender offer, and the common shares issued from the conversion of series A preferred stock and series B preferred stock.

Capitalization

Our debt to capitalization ratio, calculated as total debt as a percentage of total debt and equity, was as follows:

TOTAL CAPITALIZATION AND DEBT-TO-CAPITALIZATION RATIOS
(Dollars in millions)
SempraSDG&ESoCalGas
December 31, 2022
Total capitalization$58,175$18,258$13,696

December 31, 2021
Total capitalization$52,064$16,655$10,611
Debt-to-capitalization ratio47%50%49%

Significant changes in 2022 that affected capitalization included the following:

▪Sempra: increase in long-term debt, offset by a decrease in short-term debt and increase in equity primarily from comprehensive income exceeding dividends and the sale of NCI.

▪SDG&E: increase in long-term debt, offset by a decrease in short-term debt and increase in equity from comprehensive income exceeding dividends.

▪SoCalGas: increase in short-term and long-term debt, offset by an increase in equity from comprehensive income and equity contributions from Sempra.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Management views certain accounting estimates as critical because their application is the most relevant, judgmental and/or material to our financial position and results of operations, and/or because they require the use of material judgments and estimates. We discuss critical accounting estimates that are material to our financial statements with the Audit Committee of Sempra’s board of directors.

2022 Form 10-K | 87

Table of Contents

CONTINGENCIES

Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas

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

▪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 continuously assess contingencies for litigation claims, environmental remediation and other events.

Actual amounts realized upon settlement of contingencies may be different than amounts recorded and disclosed and may affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Details of our issues in this area are discussed in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

REGULATORY ACCOUNTING

Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas

As regulated entities, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ customer rates, as set and monitored by regulators, are designed to recover the cost of providing service and to provide the opportunity to realize their authorized rates of return on their investments. SDG&E and SoCalGas assess probabilities of future rate recovery associated with regulatory account balances at the end of each reporting period and whenever new and/or unusual events occur, such as:

▪changes in the regulatory and political environment or the utility’s competitive position

▪issuance of a regulatory commission order

▪passage of new legislation

To the extent that circumstances associated with regulatory balances change, the regulatory balances are evaluated and adjusted if appropriate.

Significant management judgment is required to evaluate the anticipated recovery of regulatory assets and plant investments, the recognition of incentives and revenues subject to refund, as well as the existence and amount of regulatory liabilities. Adverse regulatory or legislative actions could materially impact the amounts of our regulatory assets and liabilities and could materially adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. Specifically, if future recovery of costs ceases to be probable, all or part of the associated regulatory assets and/or plant investments would need to be written off against current period earnings, or adverse regulatory or legislative actions could give rise to material new or higher regulatory liabilities. We discuss details of SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ regulatory assets and liabilities and additional factors that management considers when assessing probabilities associated with regulatory balances in Notes 1, 4, 15 and 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

INCOME TAXES

Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas

Our income tax expense and related balance sheet amounts involve significant management judgments and estimates. Amounts of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, as well as current and noncurrent accruals, involve judgments and estimates of the timing and probability of recognition of income and deductions by taxing authorities. When we evaluate the anticipated resolution of income tax issues, we consider:

▪ past resolutions of the same issue or similar issues

▪ the status of any income tax examination in progress

▪ positions taken by taxing authorities with other taxpayers with similar issues

The likelihood of deferred income tax recovery is based on analyses of the deferred income tax assets and our expectation of future taxable income, based on our strategic planning. Should a change in facts or circumstances lead to a change in judgment about the ultimate realizability of a deferred tax asset, we would record or adjust the related valuation allowance in the period that the change in facts and circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding increase or decrease in the provision for income taxes.

2022 Form 10-K | 88

Table of Contents

Actual income taxes could vary from estimated amounts because of:

▪ future impacts of various items, including changes in tax laws, regulations, interpretations and rulings

▪ our financial condition in future periods

▪ the resolution of various income tax issues between us and taxing and regulatory authorities

Unrecognized 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 results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We discuss these matters and additional information related to accounting for income taxes, including uncertainty in income taxes, in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

PENSION AND PBOP PLANS

Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas

To measure our pension and PBOP obligations, costs and liabilities, we rely on several assumptions. We consider current market conditions, including interest rates, in making these assumptions. We review these assumptions annually and update when appropriate.

The critical assumptions used to develop the required estimates include the following key factors:

▪discount rates

▪expected return on plan assets

▪health care cost trend rates

▪interest crediting rate on cash balance accounts

▪mortality rate

▪rate of compensation increases

▪termination and retirement rates

▪utilization of postretirement welfare benefits

▪payout elections (lump sum or annuity)

▪lump sum interest rates

The actuarial assumptions we use may differ materially from actual results due to:

▪return on plan assets

▪changing market and economic conditions

▪higher or lower withdrawal rates

▪longer or shorter participant life spans

▪more or fewer lump sum versus annuity payout elections made by plan participants

▪higher or lower retirement rates

Changes in the estimated costs or timing of pension and PBOP, or the assumptions and judgments used by management underlying these estimates (primarily the discount rate and assumed rate of return on plan assets), as well as changes in the circumstances associated with rate recovery, could have a material effect on the recorded expenses and liabilities. The following tables summarize the impact to our projected benefit obligation for pension and accumulated benefit obligation for PBOP at December 31, 2022, and 2022 net periodic benefit costs, in each case if the discount rate or assumed rate of return on plan assets were changed by 100 bps.

SDG&E’s legal AROs related to the decommissioning of SONGS are estimated based on a site-specific study performed no less than every three years. The estimate of the obligations includes:

▪ estimated decommissioning costs, including labor, equipment, material and other disposal costs

▪ inflation adjustment applied to estimated cash flows

▪ discount rate based on a credit-adjusted risk-free rate

▪ actual decommissioning costs, progress to date and expected duration of decommissioning activities

SDG&E’s nuclear decommissioning expenses are subject to rate recovery and, therefore, rate-making accounting treatment is applied to SDG&E’s nuclear decommissioning activities. SDG&E recognizes a regulatory asset, or liability, to the extent that its SONGS ARO exceeds, or is less than, the amount collected from customers and the amount earned in SDG&E’s NDT.

SDG&E’s ARO related to the decommissioning of SONGS was $540 million as of December 31, 2022, based on the decommissioning cost study prepared in 2020. Changes in the estimated costs, execution strategy or timing of decommissioning, or in the assumptions and judgments by management underlying these estimates, could cause material revisions to the estimated total cost to decommission this facility, which could have a material effect on the recorded liability.

The following table illustrates the increase to SDG&E’s and Sempra’s ARO liability if the cost escalation rate was adjusted while leaving all other assumptions constant:

INCREASE TO ARO AND REGULATORY ASSET
(Dollars in millions)
December 31, 2022
Uniform increase in escalation percentage of 1 percentage point$62

The increase in the ARO liability driven by an increase in the cost escalation rate would result in a decrease in the regulatory liability for recoveries in excess of ARO liabilities. We provide additional detail in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Sempra

Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable, we consider if the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. If so, we estimate the fair value of the asset to determine the extent to which carrying value exceeds fair value. For such an estimate, we may consider data from multiple valuation methods, including data from market participants. We exercise judgment to estimate the future cash flows and the useful life of a long-lived asset and to determine our intent to use the asset. Our intent to use or dispose of a long-lived asset is subject to re-evaluation and can change over time. If an impairment test is required, the fair value of a long-lived asset can vary if differing estimates and assumptions are used in the valuation techniques applied as indicated by changing market or other conditions. Critical assumptions that affect our estimates of fair value may include:

▪consideration of market transactions

▪future cash flows

▪the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate, including the impacts of country risk and entity risk

We discuss impairment of long-lived assets in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF GOODWILL

Sempra

When determining if goodwill is impaired, the fair value of the reporting unit can vary if differing estimates and assumptions are used in the valuation techniques applied as indicated by changing market or other conditions. As a result, recognizing a goodwill impairment may or may not be required. When we perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test, we exercise judgment to develop estimates of the fair value of the reporting unit and compare that to its carrying value. Our fair value estimates are developed from the perspective of a knowledgeable market participant. We consider observable transactions in the marketplace for similar investments, if available, as well as an income-based approach such as a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis may be based directly on anticipated future revenues and expenses and may be performed based on free cash flows generated within the reporting unit. Critical assumptions that affect our estimates of fair value may include:

▪consideration of market transactions

▪future cash flows

▪projected revenue and expense growth rates

▪the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate, including the impacts of country risk and entity risk

In 2022 and 2021, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test and determined that the estimated fair values of our reporting units in Mexico to which goodwill was allocated was substantially above their carrying value for each year as of October 1, our goodwill impairment testing date. Our goodwill impairment test is determined based on assumptions existing as of that point in time. Changes in the business (such as loss of future cash flows from customer disputes, renegotiation of customer contracts or the macroeconomic environment, including rising interest rates) may result in us having to perform an interim goodwill impairment test, which could result in an impairment of our goodwill.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

In 2018, we set out to simplify Sempra’s business model and sharpen our focus on our mission to be North America’s premier energy infrastructure company. Our 2021 operational and financial results reflect our focus on executing this strategy:

▪We completed the consolidation of our non-utility, energy infrastructure assets in North America under SI Partners

▪We completed the sale of a 20% NCI in SI Partners to KKR

▪We entered into an agreement to sell an additional 10% NCI in SI Partners to ADIA

▪We invested $5.6 billion in capital expenditures and investments

In the fourth quarter of 2021, we formed Sempra Infrastructure, a new segment that includes the operating companies of our subsidiary, SI Partners, as well as a holding company and certain services companies. Sempra Infrastructure develops, builds, operates and invests in energy infrastructure to help enable the energy transition in North American markets and globally.

Our former South American businesses and certain activities associated with those businesses are presented as discontinued operations. Nominal activities that are not classified as discontinued operations have been subsumed into Parent and other. We completed the sales of these businesses in the second quarter of 2020. Our discussions below exclude discontinued operations, unless otherwise noted.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We discuss the following in Results of Operations:

▪Overall results of operations of Sempra;

▪Segment results;

▪Significant changes in revenues, costs and earnings; and

▪Impact of foreign currency and inflation rates on our results of operations.

Sempra Infrastructure

Because Ecogas, our natural gas distribution utility in Mexico, uses the local currency as its functional currency, its revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates for the period for consolidation in Sempra’s results of operations. Prior year amounts used in the variances discussed below are as adjusted for the difference in foreign currency translation rates between years. We discuss these and other foreign currency effects below in “Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations.”

The increase in earnings of $102 million (18%) in 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily due to:

▪$133 million higher equity earnings from Cameron LNG JV primarily due to the three-train liquefaction project achieving full commercial operations in August 2020;

▪$55 million higher earnings from asset and supply optimization primarily driven by changes in natural gas prices and higher volumes;

▪$23 million primarily due to the start of commercial operations of the Veracruz terminal in the first quarter of 2021;

▪$20 million favorable U.S. tax impact from converting SI Partners from a corporation to a partnership in October 2021;

▪$76 million higher net interest expense primarily due to:

◦$37 million in charges associated with hedge termination costs and a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs from the early redemptions of debt in October 2021, which we discuss in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,

◦$19 million higher interest expense from IEnova’s issuance of senior unsecured notes in September 2020, and

◦$8 million lower net interest income from lower intercompany balances with Parent and other; and

▪$58 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency and inflation effects, net of foreign currency derivatives effects, comprised of a $47 million unfavorable impact in 2021 compared to an $11 million favorable impact in 2020.

The increase in earnings of $333 million in 2020 compared to 2019 was primarily due to:

▪$284 million higher equity earnings from Cameron LNG JV primarily due to the three-train liquefaction project achieving full commercial operations in August 2020;

Sempra Renewables

As we discuss in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Sempra Renewables sold its remaining wind assets and investments in April 2019 upon which date the segment ceased to exist. Earnings of $59 million in 2019 included a $45 million gain on such sale.

Parent and Other

The decrease in losses of $127 million (23%) in 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily due to:

▪$50 million equity earnings in 2021 compared to $100 million equity losses in 2020 related to our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities to settle pending VAT matters and related legal costs, which we discuss in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements;

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations that were previously in our Sempra South American Utilities segment include our former 100% interest in Chilquinta Energía in Chile, our former 83.6% interest in Luz del Sur in Peru and our former interests in two energy-services companies, Tecnored and Tecsur, which provide electric construction and infrastructure services to Chilquinta Energía and Luz del Sur, respectively, as well as third parties. Discontinued operations also include activities, mainly income taxes related to the South American businesses, that were previously included in the holding company of the South American businesses at Parent and other.

As we discuss in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we completed the sales of our South American businesses in the second quarter of 2020. On April 24, 2020, we sold our equity interests in our Peruvian businesses, including our 83.6% interest in Luz del Sur and its interest in Tecsur, for cash proceeds of $3,549 million, net of transaction costs and as adjusted for post-closing adjustments, and on June 24, 2020, we sold our equity interests in our Chilean businesses, including our 100% interest in Chilquinta Energía and Tecnored and our 50% interest in Eletrans, for cash proceeds of $2,216 million, net of transaction costs and as adjusted for post-closing adjustments.

Earnings from discontinued operations of $1,840 million in 2020 included:

▪$1,499 million gain on the sale of our Peruvian businesses;

▪$248 million gain on the sale of our Chilean businesses;

▪$98 million operational earnings prior to the sale of our Peruvian and Chilean businesses; and

▪$7 million income tax benefit related to changes in outside basis differences from earnings and foreign currency effects.

▪$1,499 million gain on the sale of our Peruvian businesses;

▪$248 million gain on the sale of our Chilean businesses; and

64

Table of Contents

▪$7 million income tax benefit in 2020 compared to $51 million income tax expense in 2019 related to changes in outside basis differences from earnings and foreign currency effects since the January 25, 2019 approval of our plan to sell our South American businesses; offset by

▪$201 million lower operational earnings mainly as a result of the sales of our Peruvian and Chilean businesses; and

▪$89 million income tax benefit in 2019 related to outside basis differences existing as of January 25, 2019.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN REVENUES, COSTS AND EARNINGS

This section contains a discussion of the differences between periods in the specific line items of the Consolidated Statements of Operations for Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas.

Utilities Revenues and Cost of Sales

Our utilities revenues include natural gas revenues at SoCalGas and SDG&E and Sempra Infrastructure’s Ecogas and electric revenues at SDG&E. Intercompany revenues included in the separate revenues of each utility are eliminated in Sempra’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

SoCalGas and SDG&E currently operate under a regulatory framework that permits:

▪The cost of natural gas purchased for core customers (primarily residential and small commercial and industrial customers) to be passed through to customers in rates substantially as incurred. SoCalGas’ GCIM provides SoCalGas the opportunity 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 the core customers and SoCalGas.

▪SDG&E 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.

▪SoCalGas and SDG&E to recover certain program expenditures and other costs authorized by the CPUC, or “refundable programs.”

Because changes in SoCalGas’ and SDG&E’s 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. 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 Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

▪$19 million higher revenues associated with SDG&E’s wildfire mitigation plan; offset by

▪$55 million lower cost of electric fuel and purchased power, which we discuss below; and

▪$51 million charge in 2020 for amounts to be refunded to customers related to the Energy Efficiency Program inquiry.

Our utility cost of electric fuel and purchased power includes utility-owned generation and power purchased from third parties, net of sales to the California ISO. The cost of electric fuel and purchased power decreased by $177 million (15%) to $1.0 billion in 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to:

▪$122 million at SDG&E primarily from higher sales to the California ISO due to higher market prices and lower customer demand; and

▪$55 million higher intercompany eliminations associated with sales between SDG&E and Sempra Infrastructure due to the acquisition of ESJ in March 2021.

Our utility cost of electric fuel and purchased power, substantially all of which is at SDG&E, decreased by $1 million remaining at $1.2 billion in 2020 compared to 2019 primarily due to:

▪$55 million lower recoverable cost of electric fuel and purchased power primarily due to a decrease in residential demand mainly from an increase in rooftop solar adoption; offset by

▪$52 million associated with Otay Mesa VIE, which we deconsolidated in August 2019.

Table of Contents

▪$74 million higher revenues from the Veracruz and Mexico City terminals placed in service in March and July of 2021, respectively, including a $18 million selling profit on a sales-type lease relating to the commencement of a rail facility lease at the Veracruz terminal in the third quarter of 2021;

▪$63 million higher revenues from TdM mainly due to higher power prices and volumes; and

▪$41 million increase from the renewables business primarily due to the acquisition of ESJ in March 2021 and renewable assets placed in service in December 2020 and March 2021.

In 2020 compared to 2019, revenues from our energy-related businesses decreased by $36 million (3%) to $1.3 billion primarily due to:

▪$25 million lower revenues from TdM mainly due to lower volumes, offset by higher power prices;

▪$21 million lower transportation revenues primarily from force majeure payments that ended in August 2019 with respect to the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline; and

▪$18 million lower revenues from the expiration of capacity release contracts in the fourth quarter of 2019; offset by

▪$23 million increase in revenues from asset and supply optimization, contracts to sell natural gas to third parties and LNG offtake, including:

◦$44 million lower unrealized losses on commodity derivatives offset by lower natural gas sales primarily from lower natural gas prices and volumes, offset by

◦$21 million lower diversion revenues and turnback revenues due to lower natural gas prices and volumes.

The cost of sales for our energy-related businesses, substantially all of which are at Sempra Infrastructure, increased by $335 million to $611 million in 2021 compared to 2020. The increase is primarily from higher natural gas purchases related to asset and supply optimization and higher natural gas prices and volumes at TdM.

The cost of sales for our energy-related businesses, substantially all of which are at Sempra Infrastructure, decreased by $68 million (20%) to $276 million in 2020 compared to 2019. The decrease is primarily due to lower natural gas prices and volumes related to asset and supply optimization.

▪$131 million increase at SDG&E, primarily due to:

◦$102 million higher expenses associated with refundable programs, which costs incurred are recovered in revenue, and

◦$29 million higher non-refundable operating costs; and

▪$122 million increase at Sempra Infrastructure primarily due to:

◦$46 million higher expenses associated with the growth in the business and certain non-capitalized expenses at ECA LNG Phase 1 in 2021, which reached a final investment decision in November 2020,

◦$24 million from the renewables business, including the acquisition of ESJ in March 2021,

◦$7 million from expected credit losses on a guarantee.

Our O&M increased by $474 million (14%) to $3.9 billion in 2020 compared to 2019 primarily due to:

▪$279 million increase at SDG&E, primarily due to:

◦ $265 million higher expenses associated with refundable programs, which costs incurred are recovered in revenue, and

◦ $18 million higher amortization in 2020 of the Wildfire Fund asset and accretion of the Wildfire Fund obligation; and

▪ $53 million decrease at Parent and other primarily from lower deferred compensation expense and retained operating costs; and

▪ $18 million decrease at Sempra Renewables primarily due to lower general and administrative and other costs due to the wind-down of the business in 2019.

Aliso Canyon Litigation and Regulatory Matters

In 2021, SoCalGas recorded charges of $1,593 million compared to $307 million in 2020 related to civil litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak. We describe these charges in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impairment Losses

In 2019, SoCalGas recognized a $29 million impairment loss related to non-utility native gas assets. Also in 2019, SDG&E and SoCalGas recognized impairment losses of $6 million and $8 million, respectively, for certain disallowed capital costs in the 2019 GRC FD.

Gain (Loss) on Sale of Assets

In 2021, Parent and Other recognized a $36 million gain on the sale of PXiSE, which we discuss in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In 2019, Sempra Renewables recognized a $61 million gain on the sale of its remaining wind assets and investments.

Other Income (Expense), Net

As part of our central risk management function, we may enter into foreign currency derivatives to hedge SI Partners’ exposure to movements in the Mexican peso from its controlling interest in IEnova. The gains/losses associated with these derivatives are included in Other Income (Expense), Net, as described below, and partially mitigate the transactional effects of foreign currency and inflation included in Income Tax (Expense) Benefit for SI Partners’ consolidated entities and in Equity Earnings for SI Partners’ equity method investments. We also utilized foreign currency derivatives in 2020 and 2019 to hedge exposure to fluctuations in the Peruvian sol and Chilean peso related to the sales of our operations in Peru and Chile, respectively. We discuss policies governing our risk management below in “Part II – Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

Other income, net, was $58 million in 2021 compared to other expense, net, of $48 million in 2020. The change was primarily due to:

▪$46 million lower net losses in 2021 from impacts associated with interest rate and foreign exchange instruments and foreign currency transactions primarily due to:

◦$36 million lower losses on foreign currency derivatives and cross-currency swaps as a result of fluctuation of the Mexican peso, and

◦$19 million lower foreign currency losses on a Mexican peso-denominated loan to IMG JV, which is offset in Equity Earnings, offset by

◦$11 million lower net gains in 2021 on other foreign currency transactional effects;

▪$35 million lower non-service component of net periodic benefit cost in 2021;

▪$9 million higher investment gains in 2021 on dedicated assets in support of our executive retirement and deferred compensation plans;

▪$7 million higher AFUDC equity at SoCalGas;

▪$6 million fine at SDG&E in 2020 related to the Energy Efficiency Program inquiry; and

Table of Contents

▪$5 million reversal of penalties in 2021 related to the SoCalGas billing practices OII; offset by

▪$8 million total decrease in regulatory interest at SDG&E and SoCalGas due to the release of a regulatory liability in 2020 related to 2016-2018 forecasting differences that are not subject to tracking in the income tax expense memorandum account.

Other expense, net, was $48 million in 2020 compared to other income, net, of $77 million in 2019. The change was primarily due to:

▪$92 million net losses in 2020 from interest rate and foreign exchange instruments and foreign currency transactions compared to net gains of $55 million in 2019 primarily due to:

◦$53 million losses in 2020 on foreign currency derivatives compared to $40 million gains in 2019 as a result of fluctuation of the Mexican peso, and

◦$42 million losses in 2020 compared to $30 million gains in 2019 on a Mexican peso-denominated loan to IMG JV, which is offset in Equity Earnings; offset by

◦$17 million gains in 2020 compared to $9 million losses in 2019 on other foreign currency transactional effects;

▪$20 million lower investment gains in 2020 on dedicated assets in support of our executive retirement and deferred compensation plans; and

▪$6 million fine at SDG&E in 2020 related to the Energy Efficiency Program inquiry; offset by

▪$34 million higher AFUDC equity, including $23 million at SDG&E and $7 million at SoCalGas;

▪$30 million lower non-service component of net periodic benefit cost in 2020;

▪$8 million total increase in regulatory interest at SDG&E and SoCalGas due to the release of a regulatory liability in 2020 related to 2016-2018 forecasting differences that are not subject to tracking in the income tax expense memorandum account; and

▪$8 million in penalties in 2019 related to the SoCalGas billing practices OII.

We provide further details of the components of other (expense) income, net, in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $117 million (11%) to $1.2 billion in 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to:

▪$88 million increase at Parent and other primarily due to $126 million in charges associated with make-whole premiums and a write-off of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs from the early redemptions of debt securities in December 2021, offset by lower long-term debt balances due to scheduled maturities in 2021; and

▪$31 million increase at Sempra Infrastructure primarily due to $54 million in charges associated with hedge termination costs and a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs from the early redemptions of debt in October 2021, offset by lower intercompany debt with Parent and other.

Sempra

Sempra’s income tax expense decreased in 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to:

▪$445 million income tax benefit in 2021 compared to $74 million income tax benefit in 2020 associated with charges related to civil litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak; and

▪$22 million income tax benefit in 2021 from the remeasurement of certain deferred income taxes; offset by

▪$72 million net income tax expense related to the utilization of a deferred income tax asset upon completing the sale of a 20% NCI in SI Partners to KKR in October 2021;

▪$4 million income tax expense in 2021 compared to $59 million income tax benefit in 2020 from foreign currency and inflation effects and associated derivatives;

▪$9 million income tax expense in 2021 compared to $26 million income tax benefit in 2020 due to changes in valuation allowances against certain tax credit carryforwards;

▪$31 million income tax benefit in 2020 for repatriation of foreign earnings due to extension of federal tax law;

▪$10 million lower income tax benefit related to share-based compensation; and

▪lower income tax benefits from flow-through items.

Sempra’s income tax expense decreased in 2020 compared to 2019 primarily due to:

▪$59 million income tax benefit in 2020 compared to $77 million income tax expense in 2019 from foreign currency and inflation effects and associated derivatives;

▪$26 million income tax benefit in 2020 compared to $7 million income tax expense in 2019 from changes to a valuation allowance against certain tax credit carryforwards; and

▪$19 million income tax benefit in 2020 compared to $4 million income tax expense in 2019 related to share-based compensation; offset by

▪$69 million total income tax benefits in 2019 from the release of regulatory liabilities at SDG&E and SoCalGas established in connection with 2017 tax reform for excess deferred income tax balances that the CPUC directed be allocated to shareholders in a January 2019 decision; and

▪$10 million income tax benefit in 2019 from a reduction in a valuation allowance against certain NOL carryforwards as a result of our decision to sell our South American businesses.

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 income tax purposes, and

72

Table of Contents

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.

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 Notes 1 and 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details about our accounting for income taxes and items subject to flow-through treatment.

SDG&E

SDG&E’s income tax expense increased in 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to lower income tax benefits in 2021 from flow-through items.

SDG&E’s income tax expense increased in 2020 compared to 2019 primarily due to:

▪higher pretax income; and

▪$31 million income tax benefit in 2019 from the release of a regulatory liability established in connection with 2017 tax reform for excess deferred income tax balances that the CPUC directed be allocated to shareholders in a January 2019 decision; offset by

▪higher income tax benefits in 2020 from flow-through items.

SoCalGas

SoCalGas’ income tax benefit in 2021 compared to an income tax expense in 2020 was primarily due to:

▪$445 million income tax benefit in 2021 compared to $74 million income tax benefit in 2020 associated with charges related to civil litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak; and

▪higher income tax benefits in 2021 from flow-through items.

SoCalGas’ income tax expense decreased in 2020 compared to 2019 primarily due to:

▪lower pretax income; and

▪higher income tax benefits in 2020 from flow-through items; offset by

▪$38 million income tax benefit in 2019 from the release of a regulatory liability established in connection with 2017 tax reform for excess deferred income tax balances that the CPUC directed be allocated to shareholders in a January 2019 decision.

Equity Earnings

Equity earnings increased by $328 million (32%) to $1.3 billion in 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to:

▪$50 million equity earnings in 2021 compared to $100 million equity losses in 2020 related to our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities to settle pending VAT matters and related legal costs; and

▪$136 million higher equity earnings at Sempra Infrastructure, which included:

◦$168 million higher equity earnings at Cameron LNG JV primarily due to the three-train liquefaction project achieving full commercial operations in August 2020, offset by

◦$20 million lower equity earnings at IMG JV, primarily due to foreign currency effects, including $19 million lower foreign currency gains on IMG JV’s Mexican peso-denominated loans from its JV owners, which is fully offset in Other Income (Expense), Net, and

◦$9 million lower equity earnings at TAG JV primarily due to higher income tax expense in 2021; and

▪$40 million higher equity earnings at Oncor Holdings primarily due to increased revenues from rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital and customer growth, offset by increased operating costs and expenses attributable to invested capital.

Equity earnings increased by $435 million to $1.0 billion in 2020 compared to 2019 primarily due to:

▪$487 million higher equity earnings at Sempra Infrastructure, which included:

◦$367 million higher equity earnings from Cameron LNG JV primarily due to the three-train liquefaction project achieving full commercial operations in August 2020,

◦$94 million higher equity earnings at IMG JV, primarily due to higher revenues from the start of commercial operations of the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan marine pipeline and foreign currency effects, including $42 million foreign currency gains in 2020 compared to $30 million foreign currency losses in 2019 on IMG JV’s Mexican peso-denominated loans from its JV owners, which is fully offset in Other (Expense) Income, Net, offset by lower AFUDC equity, and

◦$23 million higher equity earnings at TAG JV primarily due to lower income tax expense in 2020; and

73

Table of Contents

▪$51 million higher equity earnings at Oncor Holdings primarily due to higher revenues from rate updates and customer growth, the acquisition of InfraREIT in May 2019 and higher AFUDC equity, offset by unfavorable weather and increased operating costs; offset by

▪$100 million equity losses in 2020 related to our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities to settle pending VAT matters and related legal costs.

Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Earnings attributable to NCI were $145 million for 2021 compared to $172 million for 2020. The decrease of $27 million (16%) was primarily due to:

▪$87 million decrease from the increase in our ownership interest in IEnova as a result of the exchange offer and subsequent cash tender offer to acquire the publicly owned shares of IEnova; and

▪$28 million decrease mainly from foreign currency and inflation effects and associated derivatives; offset by

▪$98 million increase due to the increase in NCI as a result of the sale of a 20% NCI in SI Partners to KKR in October 2021.

Earnings attributable to NCI were $172 million for 2020 compared to $164 million for 2019. The net change of $8 million (5%) was primarily due to an increase at Sempra Infrastructure mainly from foreign currency effects as a result of fluctuation of the Mexico peso, offset by a decrease due to the sales of our Peruvian businesses in April 2020 and Chilean businesses in June 2020.

Preferred Dividends

Preferred dividends decreased by $105 million to $63 million in 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to the conversion of all series A preferred stock and series B preferred stock in January 2021 and July 2021, respectively, offset by the issuance of series C preferred stock in June 2020.

Preferred dividends increased by $26 million (18%) to $168 million in 2020 compared to 2019 primarily due to dividends associated with our series C preferred stock, which was issued in June 2020.

IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION RATES ON RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Because our natural gas distribution utility in Mexico, Ecogas, uses its local currency as its functional currency, revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates for the period for consolidation in Sempra’s results of operations. Prior to the sales of our South American businesses in 2020, our operations in South America used their local currency as their functional currency.

Foreign Currency Translation

Any difference in average exchange rates used for the translation of income statement activity from year to year can cause a variance in Sempra’s comparative results of operations. Changes in foreign currency translation rates between years were negligible in 2021 compared to 2020 and resulted in $9 million lower earnings in 2020 compared to 2019.

Transactional Impacts

Although the financial statements of most of our Mexican subsidiaries and JVs have the U.S. dollar as the functional currency, some transactions may be denominated in the local currency; such transactions are remeasured into U.S. dollars. This remeasurement creates transactional gains and losses that are included in Other Income (Expense), Net, for our consolidated subsidiaries and in Equity Earnings for our JVs.

We utilize cross-currency swaps that 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. The impacts of these cross-currency swaps are offset in OCI and are reclassified from AOCI into earnings through Other Income (Expense), Net and Interest Expense as settlements occur.

Certain of our Mexican pipelines (namely Los Ramones I at IEnova Pipelines and Los Ramones Norte at TAG JV) generate revenue based on tariffs that are set by government agencies in Mexico, with contracts denominated in Mexican pesos that are indexed to the U.S. dollar, adjusted annually for inflation and fluctuation in the exchange rate. The resultant gains and losses from remeasuring the local currency amounts into U.S. dollars and the offsetting settlement of foreign currency forwards and swaps related to these contracts are included in Revenues: Energy-Related Businesses or Equity Earnings.

Income statement activities at our foreign operations and their JVs are also impacted by transactional gains and losses, a summary of which is shown in the table below:

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate and Inflation Impacts on Income Taxes and Related Hedging Activity

Our Mexican subsidiaries have U.S. dollar-denominated cash balances, receivables, payables and debt (monetary assets and liabilities) that are affected by Mexican currency exchange rate movements for Mexican income tax purposes. They also have deferred income tax assets and liabilities, which are significant, denominated in the Mexican peso that 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. As a result, fluctuations in both the currency exchange rate for the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar and Mexican inflation may expose us to fluctuations in Income Tax Expense, Other Income (Expense), Net and Equity Earnings. We may use foreign currency derivatives as a means to help manage exposure to the currency exchange rate on our monetary assets and liabilities, and this derivative activity impacts Other Income (Expense), Net. However, we generally do not hedge our deferred income tax assets and liabilities, which makes us susceptible to volatility in income tax expense caused by exchange rate fluctuations and inflation.

We also utilized foreign currency derivatives in 2020 and 2019 to hedge exposure to fluctuations in the Peruvian sol and Chilean peso related to the sales of our operations in Peru and Chile in discontinued operations.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

OVERVIEW

Sempra

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Our businesses that invest in, develop and operate energy infrastructure and provide electric and gas services to customers have been identified as critical or essential services in the U.S. and Mexico and have continued to operate throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. As our businesses continue to operate, our priority is the safety of our employees, customers, partners and the communities we serve. We and other companies, including our partners, are taking steps to try to protect the health and well-being of our employees and other stakeholders. We continue to work closely with local, state and federal authorities in an effort to provide essential services with minimum interruption to customers and in accordance with applicable orders, including potential vaccination mandates.

For a further discussion of risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Liquidity

We expect to meet our cash requirements through cash flows from operations, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under our credit facilities, issuances of debt, distributions from our equity method investments, project financing and funding from minority interest owners. We believe that these cash flow sources, combined with available funds, will be adequate to fund our operations in both the short-term and long-term, including to:

75

Table of Contents

▪finance capital expenditures

▪repay long-term debt

▪fund dividends

▪meet liquidity requirements

▪fund capital contribution requirements

▪fund expenditures related to the natural gas leak at SoCalGas’ Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility

▪repurchase shares of our common stock

▪fund new business or asset acquisitions or start-ups

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas currently have reasonable access to the money markets and capital markets and are not currently constrained in their ability to borrow money at reasonable rates from commercial banks, under existing revolving credit facilities or through public offerings registered with the SEC. However, our ability to access the money markets and capital markets or obtain credit from commercial banks outside of our committed revolving credit facilities could become materially constrained if changing economic conditions and disruptions to the money markets and capital markets worsen. In addition, our financing activities and actions by credit rating agencies, as well as many other factors, could negatively affect the availability and cost of both short-term and long-term financing. Also, cash flows from operations may be impacted by the timing of commencement and completion, and potentially cost overruns, of large projects and other material events, such as significant outflows resulting from the agreements expected to resolve certain material litigation related to the Leak. If cash flows from operations were to be significantly reduced or we were unable to borrow under acceptable terms, we would likely first reduce or postpone discretionary capital expenditures (not related to safety) and investments in new businesses. We monitor our ability to finance the needs of our operating, investing and financing activities in a manner consistent with our goal to maintain our investment-grade credit ratings.

Postretirement Benefits

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas have significant investments in several trusts to provide for future payments of pensions and other postretirement benefits. The trusts’ ability to make ongoing required benefit payments have not been materially adversely affected by changes in asset values, which are dependent on market fluctuations, contributions and withdrawals. However, changes in asset values or other factors in future periods, such as changes to discount rates, assumed rates of return, mortality tables and regulations, may impact funding requirements for pension and other postretirement benefits plans. Additionally, contributions to our plans are based on our funding policy, which generally limits payments from exceeding plan assets of 110% of the projected benefit obligation, which are subject to maximum income tax deduction limitations. Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas expect to contribute $236 million, $53 million and $153 million, respectively, to pension and other postretirement benefit plans in 2022 and $2.2 billion, $393 million and $1.6 billion, respectively, in the nine years thereafter. At SDG&E and SoCalGas, funding requirements are generally recoverable in rates. We discuss our employee benefit plans and our expected contributions to those plans in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Available Funds

Our committed lines of credit provide liquidity and support commercial paper. Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas each have five-year credit agreements expiring in 2024, SI Partners has a three-year credit agreement expiring in 2024 and IEnova has committed lines of credit that expire in 2023 and 2024. In addition, IEnova and ECA LNG Phase 1 have uncommitted revolving credit facilities that expire in 2022 and 2023.

Short-Term Borrowings

We use short-term debt primarily to meet liquidity requirements, fund shareholder dividends, and temporarily finance capital expenditures, acquisitions or start-ups. SDG&E and SoCalGas use short-term debt primarily to meet working capital needs. Revolving lines of credit, commercial paper and a term loan at SDG&E were our primary sources of short-term debt funding in 2021.

We discuss our short-term debt activities in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and below in “Sources and Uses of Cash.”

The following table shows selected statistics for our commercial paper borrowings.

In December 2021, Sempra redeemed, at respective make-whole redemption prices, an aggregate principal amount of $2.35 billion of senior unsecured notes prior to scheduled maturities in 2022 through 2025. Upon the early redemptions, we recognized $126 million ($92 million after tax) in charges associated with the make-whole premiums and a write-off of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs.

In October 2021, Sempra Infrastructure used proceeds from borrowings against IEnova’s committed and uncommitted lines of credit to fully repay $550 million of outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest on the ESJ and Ventika loans prior to their scheduled maturity dates through 2033 and recognized $54 million ($30 million after tax and NCI) in charges associated with hedge termination costs and a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Table of Contents

As we discuss in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, on January 11, 2022, SI Partners completed a private offering of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.25% senior notes due January 15, 2032. The notes were issued at 98.903% of the principal amount and require semi-annual interest payments in January and July, commencing July 15, 2022. Sempra Infrastructure intends to use the net proceeds of $390 million for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of certain indebtedness of its subsidiaries.

On February 18, 2022, SDG&E entered into a $400 million, two-year term loan with a maturity date of February 18, 2024. SDG&E may request up to three borrowings for an aggregate amount of $400 million through May 18, 2022. On February 18, 2022, SDG&E borrowed $200 million. The borrowing bears interest at benchmark rates plus 62.5 bps. The margin is based on SDG&E’s long-term senior unsecured credit rating.

At December 31, 2021, Sempra expects to make interest payments on long-term debt totaling $15.7 billion, of which $793 million is expected to be paid in 2022 and $14.9 billion is expected to be paid in subsequent years through 2079. At December 31, 2021, SDG&E expects to make interest payments on long-term debt totaling $4.4 billion, of which $244 million is expected to be paid in 2022 and $4.2 billion is expected to be paid in subsequent years through 2051. At December 31, 2021, SoCalGas expects to make interest payments on long-term debt totaling $2.8 billion, of which $167 million is expected to be paid in 2022 and $2.6 billion is expected to be paid in subsequent years through 2050. We calculate expected interest payments using the stated interest rate for fixed-rate obligations, including floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps. We calculate expected interest payments for variable-rate obligations based on forecasted rates in effect at December 31, 2021.

We discuss our long-term debt activities, including the use of proceeds on long-term debt issuances, and maturities in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Credit Ratings

The credit ratings of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas remained at investment grade levels in 2021.

CREDIT RATINGS AT DECEMBER 31, 2021
SempraSDG&ESoCalGas
Moody’sBaa2 with a stable outlookA3 with a stable outlookA2 with a stable outlook
S&PBBB+ with a negative outlookBBB+ with a stable outlookA with a negative outlook
FitchBBB+ with a stable outlookBBB+ with a stable outlookA with a stable outlook

A downgrade of Sempra’s or any of its subsidiaries’ credit ratings or rating outlooks may, depending on the severity, result in a requirement for collateral to be posted in the case of certain financing arrangements and may materially and adversely affect the market prices of their equity and debt securities, the rates at which borrowings are made and commercial paper is issued, and the various fees on their outstanding credit facilities. This could make it more costly for Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra’s other subsidiaries to issue debt securities, to borrow under credit facilities and to raise certain other types of financing. We provide additional information about our credit ratings at Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Sempra has agreed that, if the credit rating of Oncor’s senior secured debt by any of the three major 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. Oncor’s senior secured debt was rated A2, A+ and A at Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, at December 31, 2021.

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas have committed lines of credit to provide liquidity and to support commercial paper. Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at benchmark rates plus a margin that varies with market index rates and each borrower’s credit rating. Each facility also requires a commitment fee on available unused credit that may be impacted by each borrower’s credit rating. For example, assuming a one-notch downgrade:

▪If Sempra were to experience a ratings downgrade from its current level, the rate at which borrowings bear interest would increase by 25 bps. The commitment fee on available unused credit would also increase 5 bps.

▪If SDG&E were to experience a ratings downgrade from its current level, the rate at which borrowings bear interest would increase by 12.5 bps. The commitment fee on available unused credit would also increase 5 bps.

▪If SoCalGas were to experience a ratings downgrade from its current level, the rate at which borrowings bear interest would increase by 12.5 bps. The commitment fee on available unused credit would also increase 2.5 bps.

Sempra’s, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ credit ratings also may affect their respective credit limits related to derivative instruments, as we discuss in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loans to/from Affiliates

At December 31, 2021, Sempra had $637 million in loans due from unconsolidated affiliates and $287 million in loans due to unconsolidated affiliates.

Note Receivable

As we discuss in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in November 2021, Sempra loaned $300 million to KKR in exchange for an interest-bearing promissory note and reimbursed $5 million of loan-related transaction costs incurred by KKR. The promissory note is due to be repaid in full no later than October 1, 2029 and bears compound interest at 5% per annum.

Sempra California

SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ operations have historically provided relatively stable earnings and liquidity. Their future performance and liquidity will depend primarily on the ratemaking and regulatory process, environmental regulations, economic conditions, actions by the California legislature, litigation and the changing energy marketplace, as well as other matters described in this report. SDG&E and SoCalGas expect that the available unused credit from their credit facilities described above, cash flows from operations, and debt issuances will continue to be adequate to fund their respective current operations and planned capital expenditures. Additionally, as we discuss below, Sempra elected to make an equity contribution to SoCalGas in 2021 and may elect to make additional equity contributions in the future that are intended to maintain SoCalGas’ approved capital structure in connection with the accruals related to the Leak. We describe SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ commitments related to construction projects, operating and finance leases, and purchase obligations related to the procurement of power and natural gas in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. SDG&E and SoCalGas manage their capital structures and pay dividends when appropriate and as approved by their respective boards of directors.

As we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, changes in balancing accounts for significant costs at SDG&E and SoCalGas, particularly a change between over- and undercollected status, may have a significant impact on cash flows. These changes generally represent the difference between when costs are incurred and when they are ultimately recovered or refunded in rates through billings to customers.

COVID-19 Pandemic Protections

SDG&E and SoCalGas are continuing to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on cash flows and results of operations. Some customers have experienced and continue to experience a diminished ability to pay their electric or gas bills, leading to slower payments and higher levels of nonpayment than has been the case historically. These impacts could become significant and could require modifications to our financing plans.

In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and at the direction of the CPUC, SDG&E and SoCalGas implemented certain measures to assist customers, including suspending service disconnections due to nonpayment for all customers (except for SoCalGas’ noncore customers), waiving late payment fees, and offering flexible payment plans. At the CPUC’s direction, SDG&E and SoCalGas are automatically enrolling residential and small business customers with past-due balances in long-term repayment plans.

In 2021, SDG&E and SoCalGas applied, on behalf of their customers, for financial assistance from the California Department of Community Services and Development under the California Arrearage Payment Program, which provided funds of $63 million and $79 million for SDG&E and SoCalGas, respectively. In the first quarter of 2022, SDG&E and SoCalGas received and will apply the amounts directly to eligible customer accounts to reduce past due balances.

SDG&E and SoCalGas have been authorized to track and request recovery of incremental costs associated with complying with customer protection measures implemented by the CPUC related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including costs associated with suspending service disconnections and uncollectible expenses that arise from customers’ failure to pay. SDG&E and SoCalGas expect to pursue recovery of small and medium-large commercial and industrial customers’ tracked costs in rates in future CPUC proceedings, which recovery is not assured. Uncollectible expenses related to residential customers are recorded in a two-way balancing account as we discuss below.

The continuation of these circumstances could result in a further reduction in payments received from SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ customers and a further increase in uncollectible accounts, which could become material, and any inability or delay in recovering all or a substantial portion of these costs could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas. We discuss regulatory mechanisms in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

Disconnection OIR

In June 2020, the CPUC issued a decision addressing residential service disconnections that, among other things, allows SDG&E and SoCalGas to each establish a two-way balancing account to record the uncollectible expenses associated with residential customers’ inability to pay their electric or gas bills. This decision, which became effective in February 2021, also directs SDG&E and SoCalGas to each establish an AMP that provides successfully participating, income-qualified residential customers with relief from outstanding utility bill amounts. SDG&E and SoCalGas have recorded changes in their allowances for uncollectible accounts at December 31, 2021 primarily related to expected forgiveness of outstanding bill amounts for customers eligible under the AMP. The AMP could result in a further reduction in payments received from SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ customers and a further increase to uncollectible accounts, which could become material, and any inability to recover these costs could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas.

CCM

A CPUC cost of capital proceeding determines a utility’s authorized capital structure and authorized return on rate base. In December 2019, the CPUC approved the cost of capital and rate structures for SDG&E and SoCalGas that became effective on January 1, 2020 and will remain in effect through December 31, 2022, subject to the CCM.

The CCM applies in the interim years between required cost of capital applications 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 (the CCM benchmark rate) for each 12-month period ending September 30 (the measurement period). The CCM benchmark rate is the basis of comparison to determine if the CCM is triggered, 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 1.000% at the end of the measurement period. The index applicable to SDG&E and SoCalGas is based on each utility’s credit rating. SDG&E’s CCM benchmark rate is 4.498% based on Moody’s Baa- utility bond index, and SoCalGas’ CCM benchmark rate is 4.029% based on Moody’s A- utility bond index. Alternatively, under the CCM, SDG&E and SoCalGas are permitted to file a cost of capital application 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.

For the measurement period ended September 30, 2021, the CCM would trigger for SDG&E because the average Moody’s Baa- utility bond index between October 1, 2020 and September 30, 2021 was 1.17% below SDG&E’s CCM benchmark rate of 4.498%. In August 2021, SDG&E filed an application with the CPUC to update its cost of capital effective January 1, 2022 due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic rather than have the CCM apply. In this application, SDG&E proposed to adjust its authorized capital structure by increasing its common equity ratio from 52% to 54%. SDG&E also proposed to increase its authorized ROE from 10.20% to 10.55% and decrease its authorized cost of debt from 4.59% to 3.84%. As a result, SDG&E’s proposed return on rate base would decrease from 7.55% to 7.46% if such application is approved by the CPUC as filed. SDG&E filed a joint motion with PG&E and Edison to consolidate all three utilities’ cost of capital applications given the overlapping issues of law and fact, which joint motion was granted in October 2021. In December 2021, the CPUC established a proceeding to determine if SDG&E’s cost of capital was impacted by an extraordinary event. If the CPUC finds that there was not an extraordinary event, the CCM would be effective retroactive to January 1, 2022 and would automatically adjust SDG&E’s authorized ROE from 10.20% to 9.62% and adjust its authorized cost of debt to reflect the then current embedded cost and projected interest rate. If the CPUC finds that there was an extraordinary event, it will then determine whether to suspend the CCM for 2022 and preserve SDG&E’s current authorized cost of capital or hold a second phase of the proceeding to set a new cost of capital for 2022. SDG&E expects a final decision in the second half of 2022. In December 2021, the CPUC granted SDG&E the establishment of memorandum accounts effective January 1, 2022 to track any differences in revenue requirement resulting from the interim cost of capital decision expected in 2022.

For the measurement period ended September 30, 2021, the CCM was not triggered for SoCalGas. SDG&E and SoCalGas are required to file their next cost of capital applications in April 2022 for a January 1, 2023 effective date. We further discuss the CCM in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

SDG&E

Wildfire Fund

The carrying value of SDG&E’s Wildfire Fund asset totals $360 million at December 31, 2021. We describe the Wildfire Legislation, related accounting treatment and SDG&E’s commitment to make annual shareholder contributions to the Wildfire Fund through 2028 in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

SDG&E is exposed to the risk that the participating California electric IOUs may incur third-party wildfire costs for which they will seek recovery from the Wildfire Fund with respect to wildfires that have occurred since enactment of the Wildfire Legislation

80

Table of Contents

in July 2019. In such a situation, SDG&E may recognize a reduction of its Wildfire Fund asset and record an impairment charge against earnings when there is a reduction of the available coverage due to recoverable claims from any of the participating IOUs. PG&E has indicated that it will seek reimbursement from the Wildfire Fund for losses associated with the Dixie Fire, which burned from July 2021 through October 2021 and was reported to be the largest single wildfire (measured by acres burned) in California history. If any California electric IOU’s equipment is determined to be a cause of a fire, it could have a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra’s financial condition and results of operations up to the carrying value of our Wildfire Fund asset, with additional potential material exposure if SDG&E’s equipment is determined to be a cause of a fire. In addition, the Wildfire Fund could be completely exhausted due to fires in the other California electric IOUs’ service territories, by fires in SDG&E’s service territory or by a combination thereof. In the event that the Wildfire Fund is materially diminished, exhausted or terminated, SDG&E will lose the protection afforded by the Wildfire Fund, and as a consequence, a fire in SDG&E’s service territory could have a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Wildfire Cost Recovery Mechanism

In July 2021, SDG&E filed a request with the CPUC to establish an interim cost recovery mechanism that would recover in rates 50% of its wildfire mitigation plan regulatory account balance as of January 1 of each year. Such potential recovery would be incremental to wildfire costs authorized in its GRC and would be subject to reasonableness review. We expect the CPUC to issue a final decision in the first half of 2022.

SONGS Decommissioning

SDG&E has significant investments in the SONGS NDT to provide for future payments of nuclear decommissioning. The NDT’s ability to make ongoing required payments have not been materially or adversely affected by changes in asset values, which are dependent on market fluctuations, contributions and withdrawals. However, asset values could be materially and adversely affected by future activity in the equity and fixed income markets, and changes in the estimated decommissioning costs, or in the assumptions and judgments made by management underlying these estimates, could cause revisions to the estimated total cost associated with retiring the assets. Funding requirements are generally recoverable in rates. We discuss SDG&E’s NDT and its expected SONGS decommissioning payments in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

SDG&E has entered into PPAs and tolling agreements that are variable interests in unconsolidated entities. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

SoCalGas

SoCalGas’ future performance and liquidity will be impacted by the resolution of legal, regulatory and other matters concerning the Leak, which we discuss below, in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak

From October 23, 2015 through February 11, 2016, SoCalGas experienced a natural gas leak from one of the injection-and-withdrawal wells, SS25, at its Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility located in Los Angeles County.

Cost Estimate, Accounting Impact and Insurance. At December 31, 2021, SoCalGas estimates certain costs related to the Leak are $3,221 million (the cost estimate). This cost estimate may increase significantly as more information becomes available. A portion of the cost estimate has been paid, and $1,983 million is accrued as Reserve for Aliso Canyon Costs at December 31, 2021 on SoCalGas’ and Sempra’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Sempra elected to make an $800 million equity contribution to SoCalGas in September 2021 and may elect to make additional equity contributions in the future that are intended to maintain SoCalGas’ approved capital structure in connection with the accruals related to these agreements. Sempra does not expect to issue common equity to fund any such equity contributions.

Except for the amounts paid or estimated to settle certain legal and regulatory matters, the cost estimate does not include (i) any amounts necessary to resolve claims of Individual Plaintiffs who do not agree to participate in the settlement of the Individual Actions or members of the Property Class Action who opt out of that settlement or (ii) the matters that we describe in “Civil Litigation – Unresolved Litigation” and “Regulatory Proceedings” in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements to the extent it is not possible to predict at this time the outcome of these actions or reasonably estimate the possible costs or a range of possible costs for damages, restitution, civil or administrative fines or penalties, defense, settlement or other costs or remedies that may be imposed or incurred. The cost estimate also does not include certain other costs incurred by Sempra

81

Table of Contents

associated with defending against shareholder derivative lawsuits and other potential costs that we currently do not anticipate incurring or that we cannot reasonably estimate. Further, we are not able to reasonably estimate the possible loss or a range of possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued. These costs or losses not included in the cost estimate could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

We have received insurance payments for many of the categories of costs included in the cost estimate, including temporary relocation and associated processing costs, control-of-well expenses, costs of the government-ordered response to the Leak, certain legal costs and lost gas. As of December 31, 2021, we recorded the expected recovery of the cost estimate related to the Leak of $360 million as Insurance Receivable for Aliso Canyon Costs on SoCalGas’ and Sempra’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount is exclusive of insurance retentions and $919 million of insurance proceeds we received through December 31, 2021. We intend to pursue the full extent of our insurance coverage for the costs we have incurred. Other than insurance for certain future defense costs we may incur as well as directors’ and officers’ liability, we have exhausted all of our insurance in this matter. We continue to pursue other sources of insurance coverage for costs related to this matter, but we may not be successful in obtaining additional insurance recovery for any of these costs. If we are not able to secure additional insurance recovery, if any costs we have recorded as an insurance receivable are not collected, if there are delays in receiving insurance recoveries, or if the insurance recoveries are subject to income taxes while the associated costs are not tax deductible, such amounts, which could be significant, could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Natural Gas Storage Operations and Reliability. Natural gas withdrawn from storage is important for service reliability during peak demand periods, including peak electric generation needs in the summer and consumer heating needs in the winter. The Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility is the largest SoCalGas storage facility and an important component of SoCalGas’ delivery system. As a result of the Leak, the CPUC has issued a series of directives to SoCalGas specifying the range of working gas to be maintained in the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility as well as protocols for the withdrawal of gas, to support safe and reliable natural gas service. In February 2017, the CPUC opened a proceeding pursuant to the SB 380 OII to determine the feasibility of minimizing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility while still maintaining energy and electric reliability for the region, including considering alternative means for meeting or avoiding the demand for the facility’s services if it were eliminated.

At December 31, 2021, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility had a net book value of $883 million. If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were to be permanently closed or if future cash flows from its operation were otherwise insufficient to recover its carrying value, we may record an impairment of the facility, incur higher than expected operating costs and/or be required to make additional capital expenditures (any or all of which may not be recoverable in rates), and natural gas reliability and electric generation could be jeopardized. Any such outcome could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Labor Relations

Field, technical and most clerical employees at SoCalGas are represented by the Utility Workers Union of America or the International Chemical Workers Union Council. On October 1, 2021, a new collective bargaining agreement for these employees, covering wages, hours, working conditions, and medical and other benefits, went into effect through September 2024.

Franchise Agreement

SoCalGas’ natural gas franchise agreement with the City of Los Angeles expired on December 31, 2021. In December 2021, the Los Angeles City Council awarded SoCalGas a new, 21-year natural gas franchise following an invitation for bids, which was approved and signed by the City of Los Angeles mayor in January 2022. The 21-year term consists of an initial 13-year term from the effective date, followed by an 8-year term that the City of Los Angeles has the option to terminate. Among other conditions, the new franchise agreement is subject to CPUC approval of the rates and surcharges therein for it to become effective, which SoCalGas filed for in February 2022. In the interim, SoCalGas continues to serve customers located in the City of Los Angeles in accordance with the expired agreement by operation of law.

Sempra Texas Utilities

Oncor relies on external financing as a significant source of liquidity for its capital requirements. In the event that Oncor fails to meet its capital requirements or is unable to access sufficient capital to finance its ongoing needs, we may elect to make additional capital contributions to Oncor (as our commitments to the PUCT prohibit us from making loans to Oncor), which could be substantial and reduce the cash available to us for other purposes, increase our indebtedness and ultimately materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. Oncor’s ability to pay dividends may be limited by factors such as its credit ratings, regulatory capital requirements, increases in its capital plan, debt-to-equity ratio approved by the PUCT and other restrictions and considerations. In addition, Oncor will not pay dividends if a majority of Oncor’s independent directors or any minority member director determines it is in the best interests of Oncor to retain such amounts to meet expected future requirements.

Winter Weather Event

In February 2021, ERCOT required electric distribution companies, including Oncor, to significantly reduce demand on the grid because electricity generation was insufficient to meet demand due to extreme winter weather. As a result of the load shedding events and state-wide power outages, the PUCT, other governmental authorities or third parties, including Oncor’s customers, have taken or could take other measures to address financial challenges experienced as a result of the event, which could adversely impact Oncor’s collections and cash flows and, in turn, could adversely impact Sempra. The Texas Legislature has passed, and the Governor of Texas has signed, various legislation affecting the ERCOT market, which addresses matters including certain weatherization requirements and fines of up to $1 million per day for failures to comply with such requirements, enabling ERCOT to finance certain amounts owed by ERCOT market participants relating to the winter weather event, creation of the Texas Energy Reliability Council, identification of gas facilities that are critical to electric-generator fuel supplies, coordination between the gas and electric industries, and changes in the composition of the PUCT and the ERCOT board of directors. In addition, various regulatory and governmental entities have also commenced investigations or indicated an intent to investigate the operation of the ERCOT grid during this extreme winter weather event and potential future actions to improve grid reliability. Any significant changes relating to the ERCOT market that impact transmission and distribution utilities as a result of such proceedings or otherwise could materially adversely impact Oncor. If Oncor does not successfully respond to these changes and any other legislative, regulatory, or market or industry developments applicable to it, Oncor could suffer a deterioration in its results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects, which could materially adversely affect Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

Our investment in Oncor Holdings is a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sempra Infrastructure

Sempra Infrastructure expects to fund capital expenditures, investments and operations in part with available funds, including credit facilities, and cash flows from operations of the Sempra Infrastructure businesses. We expect Sempra Infrastructure will require additional funding for the development and expansion of its portfolio of projects, which may be financed through a combination of funding from the parent and minority interest owners, bank financing, issuances of debt, project financing and partnering in JVs. We describe Sempra Infrastructure’s commitments related to construction and development projects in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

As we discuss in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in October 2021, Sempra Infrastructure completed the sale of a 20% NCI in SI Partners to KKR for cash proceeds of $3.2 billion, including post-closing adjustments and net of $173 million in transaction costs. We used the proceeds from the sale to KKR to partially fund the early redemption of $2.35 billion of Sempra’s long-term debt, which we discuss above in “Long-Term Debt Activities,” and to help fund capital investments in support of incremental growth at Sempra California and Sempra Texas Utilities.

In December 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell a 10% NCI in SI Partners to ADIA for cash proceeds of $1.8 billion, subject to adjustments. We expect the transaction will close in the summer of 2022. We intend to use the expected proceeds from the sale to ADIA to help fund incremental capital expenditures at Sempra California and Sempra Texas Utilities, to repay commercial paper borrowings used to repurchase $500 million in shares of our common stock ($300 million of which was completed in the fourth quarter of 2021 and an additional $200 million of which was completed in the first quarter of 2022), and further strengthen our balance sheet. Our ability to complete the ADIA transaction is subject to a number of risks, including, among others, the ability to obtain regulatory and third-party approvals and satisfy other customary closing conditions. If we are not able to obtain these approvals and satisfy all other closing conditions in a timely manner or on satisfactory terms, then the

proposed transaction may be abandoned and/or our prospects for Sempra Infrastructure and, in turn, Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects could be materially adversely affected.

Following the closing of the ADIA transaction, Sempra, KKR and ADIA would directly or indirectly own a 70%, 20%, and 10%, interest, respectively, in SI Partners. The sale of NCI in SI Partners to KKR has reduced and the agreed sale of NCI in SI Partners to ADIA would further reduce our ownership interest in SI Partners, and these sales require us to share control over certain business decisions with the minority partners, which introduces a number of risks associated with sharing business control. Moreover, the decrease in our ownership of SI Partners also decreases our share of the cash flows, profits and other benefits these businesses currently or may in the future produce, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

LNG and Net-Zero Solutions

Cameron LNG JV Liquefaction Expansion Project (Phase 2). Cameron LNG JV received major permits and FTA and non-FTA approvals associated with the expansion of the current configuration of the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction project beyond Phase 1. Those permits for the Phase 2 project included up to two additional liquefaction trains and up to two additional full containment LNG storage tanks. In January 2022, Cameron LNG JV filed an amendment, subject to approval by the FERC, to modify the permits to allow the use of electric drives, instead of gas turbine drives, which would reduce overall emissions. We expect the proposed expansion project will initially have one train with offtake capacity of approximately 6.75 Mtpa, with the ability to increase capacity with debottlenecking of the existing trains, and the site can accommodate additional trains beyond Phase 2.

Sempra has entered into MOUs with TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation that provide a framework for cooperation for the development of and offtake from the potential Cameron LNG JV Phase 2 project. The ultimate participation of and offtake by TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation remains subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors, and TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation have no commitment to participate in, or enter into offtake agreements with respect to, the Phase 2 project unless such definitive agreements are established.

Expansion of the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction facility beyond the first three trains is subject to certain restrictions and conditions under the JV project financing agreements, including among others, timing restrictions on expansion of the project unless appropriate prior consent is obtained from the Phase 1 project lenders. Under the Cameron LNG JV equity agreements, the expansion of the project requires the unanimous consent of all the partners, including with respect to the equity investment obligation of each partner. Discussions among all the Cameron LNG JV partners have been taking place regarding how an expansion may be structured, including a facility design utilizing electric drives, and we expect that discussions will continue. Although we are working towards making a final investment decision in the first half of 2023, the timing of when or if Cameron LNG JV will receive approval to amend the permits is uncertain, and there is no assurance that the Cameron LNG JV members will unanimously agree in a timely manner or at all on an expansion structure, which, if not accomplished, would materially and adversely impact the development of the Phase 2 project.

The development of the potential Cameron LNG JV Phase 2 project is subject to numerous other risks and uncertainties, including securing binding customer commitments; reaching unanimous agreement with our partners to proceed; obtaining and maintaining a number of permits and regulatory approvals; securing financing; negotiating and completing suitable commercial agreements, including a definitive EPC contract, equity acquisition and governance agreements; reaching a positive final investment decision; and other factors associated with this potential investment. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

ECA LNG Liquefaction Export Projects. Sempra Infrastructure is developing two natural gas liquefaction export projects at its existing ECA Regas Facility. The liquefaction export projects, which are planned for development in two phases (a mid-scale project by ECA LNG Phase 1 that is under construction and a proposed large-scale project by ECA LNG Phase 2), are being developed to provide buyers with direct access to North American west coast LNG supplies. We do not expect the construction or operation of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project to disrupt operations at the ECA Regas Facility, but have planned measures to limit disruption of operations should any arise. However, construction of the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project would conflict with the current operations at the ECA Regas Facility, which currently has long-term regasification contracts for 100% of the regasification facility’s capacity through 2028, making the decisions on whether and how to pursue the ECA LNG Phase 2 project dependent in part on whether the investment in a large-scale liquefaction facility would, over the long term, be more beneficial financially than continuing to supply regasification services under our existing contracts.

In March 2019, ECA LNG received two authorizations from the DOE to export U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and to re-export LNG to non-FTA countries from its ECA LNG Phase 1 project, which is a one-train natural gas liquefaction facility with a

84

Table of Contents

nameplate capacity of 3.25 Mtpa and initial offtake capacity of approximately 2.5 Mtpa that is under construction, and its proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project that is in development.

In April 2020, ECA LNG Phase 1 executed definitive 20-year LNG sale and purchase agreements with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. for approximately 0.8 Mtpa of LNG and with an affiliate of TotalEnergies SE for approximately 1.7 Mtpa of LNG. In December 2020, an affiliate of TotalEnergies SE acquired a 16.6% ownership interest in ECA LNG Phase 1, with Sempra Infrastructure retaining an 83.4% ownership interest. Our MOU with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. provides a framework for Mitsui & Co., Ltd.’s potential offtake of LNG from, and potential acquisition of an equity interest in, ECA LNG Phase 2.

In February 2020, we entered into an EPC contract with Technip Energies for the engineering, procurement and construction of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. Since reaching a positive final investment decision with respect to the project in November 2020, we released Technip Energies to commence work to construct the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. The total price of the EPC contract is estimated at approximately $1.5 billion. We estimate that capital expenditures will approximate $2.0 billion, including capitalized interest and project contingency. The actual cost of the EPC contract and the actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ, perhaps substantially, from our estimates. We expect ECA LNG Phase 1 to begin producing LNG by the end of 2024.

In December 2020, ECA LNG Phase 1 entered into a five-year loan agreement for an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.6 billion, of which $341 million was outstanding at December 31, 2021. Proceeds from the loan are being used to finance the cost of construction of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. We discuss the details of this loan in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The construction of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project and the development of the potential ECA LNG Phase 2 project are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. For Phase 1, these include maintaining permits and regulatory approvals; construction delays; securing and maintaining commercial arrangements, such as gas supply and transportation agreements; the impact of recent and proposed changes to the law in Mexico; and other factors associated with the project and its construction. For Phase 2, these include obtaining binding customer commitments; the receipt of a number of permits and regulatory approvals; obtaining financing; negotiating and completing suitable commercial agreements, including a definitive EPC contract, equity acquisition and governance agreements, LNG sales agreements and gas supply and transportation agreements; reaching a positive final investment decision; the impact of recent and proposed changes to the law in Mexico; and other factors associated with this potential investment. In addition, as we discuss in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, an unfavorable decision on certain property disputes or permit challenges, an unfavorable judgment that does not allow Sempra Infrastructure to secure new or renew existing LDA authorizations, or an extended dispute with existing customers at the ECA Regas Facility, could materially adversely affect the development and construction of these projects and Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects, including the impairment of all or a substantial portion of the capital costs invested in the projects to date. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Port Arthur LNG Liquefaction Export Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing a proposed natural gas liquefaction export project on a greenfield site that it owns in the vicinity of Port Arthur, Texas, located along the Sabine-Neches waterway. Sempra Infrastructure received authorizations from the DOE in August 2015 and May 2019 that collectively permit the LNG to be produced from the proposed Port Arthur LNG project to be exported to all current and future FTA and non-FTA countries. In February 2020, Sempra Infrastructure filed an application with the DOE to permit LNG produced from a second phase of the proposed Port Arthur LNG facility to be exported to all current and future FTA and non-FTA countries.

In April 2019, the FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the proposed Port Arthur LNG liquefaction facility, along with certain natural gas pipelines, including the Louisiana Connector and Texas Connector Pipelines, that could be used to supply feed gas to the liquefaction facility if and when the project is completed. In February 2020, Sempra Infrastructure filed a FERC application for the siting, construction and operation of a second phase of the proposed Port Arthur LNG facility, including the potential addition of two liquefaction trains.

In February 2020, we entered into an EPC contract with Bechtel for the proposed Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project. The EPC contract contemplates the construction of two liquefaction trains with a nameplate capacity of approximately 13.5 Mtpa, two LNG storage tanks, a marine berth and associated loading facilities and related infrastructure necessary to provide liquefaction services. In December 2020, we amended and restated the EPC contract to reflect an estimated price of approximately $8.7 billion. Since we did not issue a full notice to proceed by July 15, 2021, agreement by both parties on an amendment to the EPC contract is necessary to proceed. Such amendment may adjust the EPC contract price and the EPC schedule and could potentially include other changes to the work and terms and conditions of the EPC contract. Any agreement on such an amendment by both parties or on favorable terms to Sempra cannot be assured.

In December 2018, Polish Oil & Gas Company (PGNiG) and Port Arthur LNG entered into a definitive 20-year agreement for the sale and purchase of 2 Mtpa of LNG per year from the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction export project. In July 2021, the agreement was terminated and PGNiG and Sempra Infrastructure entered into an MOU to cooperate on the transition of the 2 Mtpa to Sempra Infrastructure’s portfolio of other projects.

In May 2019, Aramco Services Company and Sempra Infrastructure signed a Heads of Agreement for the negotiation of a definitive 20-year LNG sale and purchase agreement for 5 Mtpa of LNG offtake from the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction export project. The Heads of Agreement also included the negotiation of a potential 25% equity investment in the project. In January 2020, Aramco Services Company and Sempra Infrastructure signed an Interim Project Participation Agreement related to the proposed project. In June 2021, Aramco Services Company and Sempra Infrastructure agreed to allow the Heads of Agreement and Interim Project Participation Agreement to expire.

We continue work to progress development of the proposed Port Arthur LNG liquefaction export project and are evaluating design changes that could reduce overall emissions, including electric drives, renewable power sourcing and other technological solutions. Given uncertainties in the energy markets, including real-time developments of new technologies that could impact the design, scale and structure of the project, we continue to evaluate the timing of a final investment decision.

Development of the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction export project is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including obtaining customer commitments; identifying suitable project partners; completing the required commercial agreements, such as equity acquisition and governance agreements, LNG sales agreements and gas supply and transportation agreements; completing construction contracts, including an amendment to the EPC contract with Bechtel; securing and maintaining all necessary permits and approvals; obtaining financing and incentives; reaching a positive final investment decision; and other factors associated with the potential investment. An unfavorable outcome with respect to any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects, including the impairment of all or a substantial portion of the capital costs invested in the project to date. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Vista Pacifico LNG Liquefaction Export Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing Vista Pacifico LNG, a potential natural gas liquefaction, storage, and mid-scale export facility proposed to be located in the vicinity of Topolobampo in Sinaloa, Mexico, under an MOU with the CFE that contemplates the negotiation of definitive agreements that would cover development of Vista Pacifico LNG, as well as a separate natural gas regasification project in La Paz Baja California Sur, and the potential re-routing of a portion of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline and resumption of its operations through mutual agreements between the CFE and the Yaqui tribe. The proposed LNG terminal would be supplied with U.S. natural gas and would use excess natural gas and pipeline capacity on existing pipelines in Mexico with the intent of helping to meet growing demand for natural gas and LNG in the Mexican and Pacific markets. In November 2020, Sempra Infrastructure filed an application with the DOE to permit the export of natural gas to Mexico and for LNG produced from the proposed Vista Pacifico LNG facility to be re-exported to all current and future FTA and non-FTA countries. In April 2021, the DOE granted Vista Pacifico’s LNG export authorization application for FTA countries.

The development of the potential Vista Pacifico LNG project (as well as the other projects discussed above) is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including securing binding customer commitments; obtaining and maintaining a number of permits and regulatory approvals; securing financing; identifying suitable project partners; negotiating and completing suitable commercial agreements, including a definitive EPC contract, equity acquisition and governance agreements, LNG sales agreements and gas supply and transportation agreements; reaching a positive final investment decision; the impact of recent and proposed changes to the law in Mexico; and other factors associated with this potential investment. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Hackberry Carbon Sequestration Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing the potential Hackberry carbon capture and sequestration project in Hackberry, Louisiana. This proposed project in development is a carbon dioxide storage facility with the intended capability of permanently sequestering carbon dioxide from Cameron LNG JV. In the third quarter of 2021, Sempra Infrastructure filed an application with the EPA for a Class VI carbon injection well to advance this project.

The development of the potential Hackberry carbon capture and sequestration project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including securing binding customer commitments; identifying suitable project partners; obtaining and maintaining a number of permits and regulatory approvals; securing financing; negotiating and completing suitable commercial agreements, including a definitive EPC contract, and equity acquisition and governance agreements; reaching a positive final investment decision; and other factors associated with this potential investment. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. Our investment in Cameron LNG JV is a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

86

Table of Contents

In June 2021, Sempra provided a promissory note, which constitutes a guarantee, for the benefit of Cameron LNG JV with a maximum exposure to loss of $165 million. 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. We discuss this guarantee in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2020, Sempra entered into a Support Agreement, which contains a guarantee and represents a variable interest, for the benefit of CFIN with a maximum exposure to loss of $979 million. The guarantee will terminate upon full repayment of the guaranteed debt by 2039, including repayment following an event in which the guaranteed debt is put to Sempra. We discuss this guarantee in Notes 1, 6 and 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Energy Networks

Construction Projects. Sempra Infrastructure began commercial operations of its new terminals for the receipt, storage and delivery of refined fuel products in the new port of Veracruz on March 19, 2021 and in Mexico City on July 2, 2021. The two terminals have a combined storage capacity of more than 2.7 million barrels. The storage capacity for both terminals is contracted with Valero Energy Corporation.

Sempra Infrastructure is currently constructing additional terminals for the receipt, storage, and delivery of liquid fuels in the vicinity of Puebla and Topolobampo. As part of an industrywide audit and investigative process initiated by the CRE to enforce fuel procurement laws, federal prosecutors conducted inspections at several refined products terminals, including Sempra Infrastructure’s refined products terminal in Puebla, to confirm that the gasoline and/or diesel in storage were legally imported. During the inspection of the Puebla terminal in September 2021, a federal prosecutor took samples from all the train and storage tanks in the terminal and ordered that the facility be temporarily shut down during the pendency of the analysis of the samples and investigation, while leaving the terminal in Sempra Infrastructure’s custody. In addition, in November 2021, the CRE notified Sempra Infrastructure of the commencement of an administrative proceeding for revoking the storage permit at the Puebla terminal due to alleged breach of its terms and conditions. Although Sempra Infrastructure filed an amparo lawsuit against the closure and has submitted proof of the legal origin of the products to the prosecutor’s office, we are unable to predict when the investigation will be completed, the outcome of the administrative proceeding or whether the facility will be able to commence commercial operations. If the terminal were to be shut down, storage permits were to be revoked or commissioning operations significantly curtailed for an extended period of time, Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects could be materially adversely affected. We expect the Topolobampo project to commence commercial operations in the first half of 2022. The ability to successfully complete major construction projects is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. For a discussion of these risks and uncertainties, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Sempra Infrastructure is also developing terminals for the receipt, storage, and delivery of liquid fuels in the vicinity of Manzanillo and Ensenada.

Expected commencement dates could be delayed by worsening or extended disruptions of project construction caused by the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors outside our control. Sempra Infrastructure is continuing to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on cash flows and results of operations.

Clean Power

Construction Projects. Sempra Infrastructure completed construction and began commercial operations of a new 150-MW solar power generation facility (Border Solar) in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua on March 25, 2021. Border Solar is fully contracted by third-party companies under long-term PPAs expiring in 2032 and 2037, though it requires an amendment to its self-supply permit granted by the CRE in order to supply its customers. The energy production is currently being sold in the open market at variable rates.

ESJ completed construction and began commercial operations of a second, 108-MW wind power generation facility on January 15, 2022. This second wind power generation facility is fully contracted by SDG&E under a long-term PPA expiring in 2042.

Acquisition of ESJ. As we discuss in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in March 2021, Sempra Infrastructure increased its ownership interest in ESJ from 50% to 100% by acquiring Saavi Energía’s 50% equity interest in ESJ.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

See Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for discussions of the following legal and regulatory matters affecting our operations in Mexico:

Energía Costa Azul

▪Land Disputes

87

Table of Contents

▪Environmental and Social Impact Permits

▪Customer Dispute

One or more unfavorable final decisions on these land and customer disputes or environmental and social impact permit challenges could materially adversely affect our existing natural gas regasification operations and proposed natural gas liquefaction projects at the site of the ECA Regas Facility and have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Sonora Pipeline

▪Guaymas-El Oro Segment

▪Sasabe-Puerto Libertad-Guaymas Segment

Our investment in the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline could be subject to impairment if Sempra Infrastructure is unable to make certain repairs (which have not commenced) or re-route a portion of the pipeline (which has not been agreed to by the parties, but is subject to negotiation pursuant to a non-binding MOU, as described above) and resume operations in the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline or if Sempra Infrastructure terminates the contract and is unable to obtain recovery. In addition, the failure to stay the court judgment nullifying Sempra Infrastructure’s right-of-way easement for a portion of the Sasabe-Puerto Libertad-Guaymas segment of the Sonora pipeline pending the resolution of Sempra Infrastructure’s planned special judicial action or prevail in preserving the easement in the special judicial action could require us to modify the route of the pipeline and could require a temporary shutdown of this portion of the pipeline. Any such occurrence could have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Regulatory and Other Actions by the Mexican Government

▪Transmission Rates for Legacy Generation Facilities

▪Offtakers of Legacy Generation Permits

▪Amendments to Mexico’s Electricity Industry Law

▪Amendments to Mexico’s Hydrocarbons Law

▪Amendments to Mexico’s General Foreign Trade Rules

▪Proposed Constitutional Reform in Mexico

Sempra Infrastructure and other parties affected by these resolutions, orders, decrees, regulations and proposed amendments to Mexican law have challenged them by filing amparo and other claims, some of which have been granted injunctive relief. The court-ordered injunctions or suspensions provide temporary relief until Mexico’s federal district court or Supreme Court ultimately resolves the amparo and other claims. If passed in its current form, the proposed constitutional reform introduces significant changes to the legal and economic principles underlying the country’s energy reform of 2013, generating imminent risks for private investments in this sector. An unfavorable decision on one or more of these amparo or other challenges, the potential for extended disputes, or if passed in its current form, the proposed constitutional reform may impact our ability to operate our facilities at existing levels or at all, may result in increased costs for Sempra Infrastructure and its customers, may adversely affect our ability to develop new projects, and may negatively impact our ability to recover the carrying values of our investments in Mexico, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Parent and Other

PXiSE

In December 2021, Parent and other completed the sale of its 80% interest in PXiSE for total cash proceeds of $38 million, net of transaction costs totaling $4 million, and recorded a $36 million ($26 million after tax) gain, which is included in Gain (Loss) on Sale of Assets on Sempra’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Future Capital Expenditures and Investments

The amounts and timing of capital expenditures and certain investments are generally subject to approvals by various regulatory and other governmental and environmental bodies, including the CPUC, the FERC and the PUCT, and various other factors described in this MD&A and in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.” In 2022, we expect to make capital expenditures and investments of approximately $6.2 billion (which excludes capital expenditures that will be funded by unconsolidated entities), as summarized by segment in the following table.

FUTURE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND INVESTMENTS
(Dollars in millions)
Year ended December 31, 2022
SDG&E$2,700
SoCalGas2,100
Sempra Texas Utilities400
Sempra Infrastructure1,000
Total$6,200

We expect the majority of our capital expenditures and investments in 2022 will relate to transmission and distribution improvements at our regulated public utilities, and construction of the ECA LNG Phase 1 liquefaction export project at Sempra Infrastructure.

From 2022 through 2026, and subject to the factors described below, which could cause these estimates to vary substantially, Sempra expects to make aggregate capital expenditures and investments of approximately $24.4 billion (which excludes capital expenditures that will be funded by unconsolidated entities), as follows: $11.4 billion at SDG&E, $9.8 billion at SoCalGas, $1.1 billion at Sempra Texas Utilities and $2.1 billion at Sempra Infrastructure. Capital expenditure amounts include capitalized interest and AFUDC related to debt.

Periodically, we review our construction, investment and financing programs and revise them in response to changes in regulation, economic conditions, competition, customer growth, inflation, customer rates, the cost and availability of capital, and safety and environmental requirements.

Our level of capital expenditures and investments in the next few years may vary substantially and will depend on, among other things, the cost and availability of financing, regulatory approvals, changes in U.S. federal tax law and business opportunities providing desirable rates of return. See “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” for a discussion of other factors that could affect future

levels of our capital expenditures and investments. We intend to finance our capital expenditures in a manner that will maintain our investment-grade credit ratings and capital structure, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so.

Weighted-Average Rate Base

Rate base is the value of assets on which SDG&E and SoCalGas are permitted to earn a specified rate of return in accordance with rules set by regulatory agencies, including the CPUC and the FERC (for SDG&E), which is calculated using a 13-month average in accordance with CPUC methodology as adopted in rate-setting proceedings. The following table summarizes the weighted-average rate base for SDG&E and SoCalGas for the last three years.

WEIGHTED-AVERAGE RATE BASE
(Dollars in millions)
202120202019
SDG&E$12,527$11,109$10,467
SoCalGas$9,371$8,228$7,401

The increase in weighted-average rate base reflects the significant capital investments that SDG&E and SoCalGas have made in transmission and distribution safety and reliability. We expect the weighted-average rate base to continue to increase in 2022 based on our expected capital investments.

Capital Stock Transactions

Sempra

Cash provided by issuances of common and preferred stock was:

▪$5 million in 2021

▪$902 million in 2020

▪$1.8 billion in 2019

IEnova Exchange Offer and Cash Tender Offer. In May 2021, we acquired 381,015,194 publicly owned shares of IEnova in exchange for 12,306,777 newly issued shares of our common stock upon completion of our exchange offer launched in the U.S. and Mexico, which increased our ownership interest in IEnova from 70.2% to 96.4%. In September 2021, we completed a cash tender offer and acquired 51,014,545 publicly owned shares of IEnova for 4.0 billion Mexican pesos (approximately $202 million in U.S. dollars) in cash, which increased our ownership interest in IEnova from 96.4% to 99.9%. We describe these transactions in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In addition to being traded on the New York Stock Exchange, Sempra’s common stock is also listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange under the trading symbol SRE.MX. IEnova’s shares were delisted from the Mexican Stock Exchange effective October 15, 2021. In connection with the delisting, we are maintaining a trust for the purpose of purchasing the 1,212,981 IEnova shares that remained publicly owned as of the completion of the cash tender offer for 78.97 Mexican pesos per share, the same price per share that was offered in our cash tender offer. The trust will be in place through the earlier of April 14, 2022 or the date on which we acquire all remaining publicly owned IEnova shares. As of February 16, 2022, an aggregate of 629,784 of the remaining publicly owned IEnova shares had been acquired by such trust.

Sempra Common Stock Repurchases. As we discuss in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in November and December of 2021, we entered into and completed an open market repurchase program under which we paid $300 million to repurchase 2,422,758 shares of our common stock at a weighted-average purchase price of $123.83 per share, excluding commissions. We repurchased an additional 1,472,756 shares of our common stock for $200 million pursuant to an ASR program that was completed on February 11, 2022. These share repurchases were funded with commercial paper borrowings that we plan to repay with a portion of the anticipated proceeds from the sale of NCI in SI Partners to ADIA, which we expect to close in the summer of 2022 subject to the receipt of certain regulatory and third-party approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Dividends

Sempra

Sempra paid cash dividends of:

▪$1,331 million for common stock and $99 million for preferred stock in 2021

▪$1,174 million for common stock and $157 million for preferred stock in 2020

▪$993 million for common stock and $142 million for preferred stock in 2019

Dividends declared on common stock have increased in each of the last three years due to an increase in the per-share quarterly dividends approved by our board of directors to $1.10 in 2021 ($4.40 annually) from $1.045 in 2020 ($4.18 annually) and from $0.9675 in 2019 ($3.87 annually).

On February 24, 2022, our board of directors approved an increase in Sempra’s quarterly common stock dividend to $1.145 per share ($4.58 annually), the first of which is payable April 15, 2022. In addition, on February 24, 2022, our board of directors declared semi-annual dividends of $24.375 per share on our series C preferred stock, payable on April 15, 2022. All declarations of dividends on our common stock and preferred stock are made at the discretion of the board of directors. While we view dividends as an integral component of shareholder return, the amount of future dividends will depend on earnings, cash flows, financial and legal requirements, and other relevant factors at that time. As a result, Sempra’s dividends on common stock declared on an annual historical basis, including recent historical increases and annualized dividends for the current fiscal year, may not be indicative of future declarations.

SDG&E

In 2021 and 2020, SDG&E paid common stock dividends to Enova and Enova paid corresponding dividends to Sempra of $300 million and $200 million, respectively. SDG&E did not declare or pay common stock dividends in 2019. SDG&E’s dividends on common stock declared on an annual historical basis may not be indicative of future declarations and could be impacted over the next few years in order for SDG&E to maintain its authorized capital structure while managing its capital investment program.

Enova, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra, owns all of SDG&E’s outstanding common stock. Accordingly, dividends paid by SDG&E to Enova and dividends paid by Enova to Sempra are eliminated in Sempra’s consolidated financial statements.

SoCalGas

In 2021, 2020 and 2019, SoCalGas paid common stock dividends to PE and PE paid corresponding dividends to Sempra of $75 million, $100 million and $150 million, respectively. SoCalGas’ dividends on common stock declared on an annual historical basis may not be indicative of future declarations and could be impacted over the next few years in order for SoCalGas to maintain its authorized capital structure.

PE, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra, owns all of SoCalGas’ outstanding common stock. Accordingly, dividends paid by SoCalGas to PE and dividends paid by PE to Sempra are eliminated in Sempra’s consolidated financial statements.

Dividend Restrictions

The board of directors for each of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas has the discretion to determine whether to declare and, if declared, the amount of any dividends by each such entity. The CPUC’s regulation of SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ capital structures limits the amounts that are available for loans and dividends to Sempra. At December 31, 2021, based on these regulations, Sempra could have received combined loans and dividends of approximately $798 million from SDG&E and $445 million from SoCalGas.

We provide additional information about dividend restrictions in “Restricted Net Assets” in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Book Value Per Common Share

Sempra’s book value per common share on the last day of each of the last three fiscal years was as follows:

▪$79.17 in 2021

▪$70.11 in 2020

▪$60.58 in 2019

The increase in 2021 was primarily due to a fair value that was higher than carrying value related to the change in ownership, which did not result in a change of control, from the sale of NCI in SI Partners to KKR, the IEnova exchange offer and

subsequent cash tender offer, and the common shares issued from the conversion of series A preferred stock and series B preferred stock. In 2020, the increase was primarily due to comprehensive income exceeding dividends, offset by common stock repurchases.

Capitalization

Our debt to capitalization ratio, calculated as total debt as a percentage of total debt and equity, was as follows:

TOTAL CAPITALIZATION AND DEBT-TO-CAPITALIZATION RATIOS
(Dollars in millions)
SempraSDG&ESoCalGas
December 31, 2021
Total capitalization$52,064$16,655$10,611

December 31, 2019
Total capitalization$47,621$13,542$9,172
Debt-to-capitalization ratio54%48%48%

Significant changes in 2021 that affected capitalization included the following:

▪Sempra: decrease in long-term debt, offset by an increase in short-term debt and increase in equity primarily from the sale of NCI.

▪SDG&E: increase in short-term and long-term debt and increase in equity from comprehensive income exceeding dividends.

▪SoCalGas: decrease in equity from comprehensive loss, offset by equity contributions from Sempra exceeding dividends.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Management views certain accounting estimates as critical because their application is the most relevant, judgmental and/or material to our financial position and results of operations, and/or because they require the use of material judgments and estimates. We discuss critical accounting estimates that are material to our financial statements with the Audit Committee of Sempra’s board of directors.

CONTINGENCIES

Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas

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

▪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 continuously assess contingencies for litigation claims, environmental remediation and other events.

Actual amounts realized upon settlement of contingencies may be different than amounts recorded and disclosed and may affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Details of our issues in this area are discussed in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

REGULATORY ACCOUNTING

Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas

As regulated entities, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ customer rates, as set and monitored by regulators, are designed to recover the cost of providing service and provide the opportunity to earn a reasonable return on their investments. SDG&E and SoCalGas assess probabilities of future rate recovery associated with regulatory account balances at the end of each reporting period and whenever new and/or unusual events occur, such as:

▪changes in the regulatory and political environment or the utility’s competitive position

▪issuance of a regulatory commission order

▪passage of new legislation

To the extent that circumstances associated with regulatory balances change, the regulatory balances are evaluated and adjusted if appropriate.

Significant management judgment is required to evaluate the anticipated recovery of regulatory assets and plant investments, the recognition of incentives and revenues subject to refund, as well as the existence and amount of regulatory liabilities. Adverse regulatory or legislative actions could materially impact the amounts of our regulatory assets and liabilities and could materially adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. Specifically, if future recovery of costs ceases to be probable, all or part of the associated regulatory assets and/or plant investments would need to be written off against current period earnings, or adverse regulatory or legislative actions could give rise to material new or higher regulatory liabilities. We discuss details of SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ regulatory assets and liabilities and additional factors that management considers when assessing probabilities associated with regulatory balances in Notes 1, 4, 15 and 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

INCOME TAXES

Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas

Our income tax expense and related balance sheet amounts involve significant management judgments and estimates. Amounts of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, as well as current and noncurrent accruals, involve judgments and estimates of the timing and probability of recognition of income and deductions by taxing authorities. When we evaluate the anticipated resolution of income tax issues, we consider:

▪ past resolutions of the same issue or similar issues

▪ the status of any income tax examination in progress

▪ positions taken by taxing authorities with other taxpayers with similar issues

The likelihood of deferred income tax recovery is based on analyses of the deferred income tax assets and our expectation of future taxable income, based on our strategic planning. Should a change in facts or circumstances lead to a change in judgment about the ultimate realizability of a deferred tax asset, we would record or adjust the related valuation allowance in the period that the change in facts and circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding increase or decrease in the provision for income taxes.

Actual income taxes could vary from estimated amounts because of:

▪ future impacts of various items, including changes in tax laws, regulations, interpretations and rulings

▪ our financial condition in future periods

▪ the resolution of various income tax issues between us and taxing and regulatory authorities

Unrecognized 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 results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We discuss these matters and additional information related to accounting for income taxes, including uncertainty in income taxes, in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

DERIVATIVES ACCOUNTING

96

Table of Contents

Sempra, SDG&E

We record derivative instruments for which we do not apply a scope exception at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We also use the normal purchase or sale exception for certain derivative contracts, which is applied on a contract-by-contract basis. Changes in assumed physical delivery on contracts for which we elected normal purchase or sale accounting may result in “tainting” of the election, which may preclude us from making this election in future transactions, thereby impacting Sempra’s and/or SDG&E’s results of operations. The impacts of derivatives accounting on SDG&E’s results of operations are typically not significant because regulatory accounting principles generally apply to its contracts. We provide details of our derivative instruments and our fair value approaches in Notes 11 and 12, respectively, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas

To measure our pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, costs and liabilities, we rely on several assumptions. We consider current market conditions, including interest rates, in making these assumptions. We review these assumptions annually and update when appropriate.

The critical assumptions used to develop the required estimates include the following key factors:

▪discount rates

▪expected return on plan assets

▪health care cost trend rates

▪mortality rates

▪rate of compensation increases

▪termination and retirement rates

▪utilization of postretirement welfare benefits

▪payout elections (lump sum or annuity)

▪lump sum interest rates

The actuarial assumptions we use may differ materially from actual results due to:

▪return on plan assets

▪changing market and economic conditions

▪higher or lower withdrawal rates

▪longer or shorter participant life spans

▪more or fewer lump sum versus annuity payout elections made by plan participants

▪higher or lower retirement rates

Changes in the estimated costs or timing of pension and other postretirement benefits, or the assumptions and judgments used by management underlying these estimates (primarily the discount rate and assumed rate of return on plan assets), as well as changes in the circumstances associated with rate recovery, could have a material effect on the recorded expenses and liabilities. The following tables summarize the impact to our projected benefit obligation for pension, accumulated benefit obligation for PBOP, and projected benefit costs, in each case if the discount rate or assumed rate of return on plan assets were changed by 100 bps at December 31, 2021:

For SDG&E and SoCalGas plans, the effects of the assumptions on earnings are expected to be recovered in rates and therefore are offset in regulatory accounts. We provide details of our pension and other postretirement benefit plans in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

Sempra, SDG&E

SDG&E’s legal AROs related to the decommissioning of SONGS are estimated based on a site-specific study performed no less than every three years. The estimate of the obligations includes:

▪ estimated decommissioning costs, including labor, equipment, material and other disposal costs

▪ inflation adjustment applied to estimated cash flows

▪ discount rate based on a credit-adjusted risk-free rate

▪ actual decommissioning costs, progress to date and expected duration of decommissioning activities

SDG&E’s nuclear decommissioning expenses are subject to rate recovery and, therefore, rate-making accounting treatment is applied to SDG&E’s nuclear decommissioning activities. SDG&E recognizes a regulatory asset, or liability, to the extent that its SONGS ARO exceeds, or is less than, the amount collected from customers and the amount earned in SDG&E’s NDT.

SDG&E’s ARO related to the decommissioning of SONGS was $568 million as of December 31, 2021, based on the decommissioning cost study prepared in 2020. Changes in the estimated costs, execution strategy or timing of decommissioning, or in the assumptions and judgments by management underlying these estimates, could cause material revisions to the estimated total cost to decommission this facility, which could have a material effect on the recorded liability.

The following table illustrates the increase to SDG&E’s and Sempra’s ARO liability if the cost escalation rate was adjusted while leaving all other assumptions constant:

INCREASE TO ARO AND REGULATORY ASSET
(Dollars in millions)
December 31, 2021
Uniform increase in escalation percentage of 1 percentage point$91

The increase in the ARO liability driven by an increase in the cost escalation rate would result in a decrease in the regulatory liability for recoveries in excess of ARO liabilities. We provide additional detail in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Sempra

Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable, we consider if the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. If so, we estimate the fair value of the asset to determine the extent to which carrying value exceeds fair value. For such an estimate, we may consider data from multiple valuation methods, including data from market participants. We exercise judgment to estimate the future cash flows and the useful life of a long-lived asset and to determine our intent to use the asset. Our intent to use or dispose of a long-lived asset is subject to re-evaluation and can change over time. If an impairment test is required, the fair value of a long-lived asset can vary if differing estimates and assumptions are used in the valuation techniques applied as indicated by changing market or other conditions. Critical assumptions that affect our estimates of fair value may include:

98

Table of Contents

▪consideration of market transactions

▪future cash flows

▪the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate, including the impacts of country risk and entity risk

We discuss impairment of long-lived assets in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF GOODWILL

Sempra

When determining if goodwill is impaired, the fair value of the reporting unit can vary if differing estimates and assumptions are used in the valuation techniques applied as indicated by changing market or other conditions. As a result, recognizing a goodwill impairment may or may not be required. When we perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test, we exercise judgment to develop estimates of the fair value of the reporting unit and compare that to its carrying value. Our fair value estimates are developed from the perspective of a knowledgeable market participant. We consider observable transactions in the marketplace for similar investments, if available, as well as an income-based approach such as a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis may be based directly on anticipated future revenues and expenses and may be performed based on free cash flows generated within the reporting unit. Critical assumptions that affect our estimates of fair value may include:

▪consideration of market transactions

▪future cash flows

▪projected revenue and expense growth rates

▪the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate, including the impacts of country risk and entity risk

In 2021 and 2020, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test and determined that the estimated fair values of our reporting units in Mexico to which goodwill was allocated was substantially above their carrying value for each year as of October 1, our goodwill impairment testing date.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

We discuss the recent accounting pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial statements and/or disclosures in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
