DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES

NOTE 7. DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES

The principal terms of our debt arrangements are described below and in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

SHORT-TERM DEBT

Committed Lines of Credit

At March 31, 2022, Sempra had an aggregate capacity of $9.5 billion under seven primary committed lines of credit, which provide liquidity and support commercial paper programs. Because our commercial paper programs are supported by some of these lines of credit, we reflect the amount of commercial paper outstanding, before reductions of any unamortized discounts, and any letters of credit outstanding as a reduction to the available unused credit capacity.

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas each must maintain a ratio of indebtedness to total capitalization (as defined in each of the applicable credit facilities) of no more than 65% at the end of each quarter. At March 31, 2022, each entity was in compliance with this ratio under its respective credit facility.

SI Partners must maintain a ratio of consolidated adjusted net indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (as defined in its credit facility) of no more than 5.25 to 1.00 as of the end of each quarter. At March 31, 2022, SI Partners was in compliance with this ratio.

Uncommitted Lines of Credit

In addition to our committed lines of credit, Sempra Infrastructure’s foreign operations in Mexico have uncommitted lines of credit with an aggregate capacity of $570 million at March 31, 2022, which are generally used for working capital requirements. We reflect amounts outstanding under these uncommitted lines of credit before reductions of any unamortized discounts.

(2)    Advances are due in full within 180 days of the disbursement date, which may be extended in increments of 180 days provided that no advance may have a maturity date that falls more than three years after the date of disbursement.

Uncommitted Letters of Credit

Outside of our domestic and foreign credit facilities, we have bilateral unsecured standby letter of credit capacity with select lenders that is uncommitted and supported by reimbursement agreements. At March 31, 2022, we had approximately $682 million in standby letters of credit outstanding under these agreements.

LONG-TERM DEBT

Sempra

In March 2022, we issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 3.30% senior unsecured notes due in full upon maturity on April 1, 2025 and received proceeds of $745 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $5 million), and $500 million of 3.70% senior unsecured notes due in full upon maturity on April 1, 2029 and received proceeds of $494 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $6 million). Each series of the notes is redeemable prior to maturity, subject to their terms, and in certain circumstances subject to make-whole provisions. We used a portion of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes and intend to use the remaining net proceeds for repayment of commercial paper and other indebtedness.

SDG&E

In February 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. SDG&E borrowed $200 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The borrowings bear interest at benchmark rates plus 62.5 bps and are due in full upon maturity. The margin is based on SDG&E’s long-term senior unsecured credit rating. SDG&E used the net proceeds for repayment of commercial paper.

In March 2022, SDG&E issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.00% first mortgage bonds due in full upon maturity on March 15, 2032 and received proceeds of $494 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $6 million), and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.70% first mortgage bonds due in full upon maturity on March 15, 2052 and received proceeds of $492 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $8 million). Each of the first mortgage bonds are redeemable prior to maturity, subject to their terms, and in certain circumstances subject to make-whole provisions. SDG&E used a portion of the net proceeds for repayment of commercial paper and its 364-day term loan and intends to use the remaining proceeds for capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

SoCalGas

In March 2022, SoCalGas issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of 2.95% senior unsecured notes due in full upon maturity on April 15, 2027 and received proceeds of $691 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $9 million). The notes are redeemable prior to maturity, subject to their terms, and in certain circumstances subject to make-whole provisions. SoCalGas used a portion of the net proceeds for repayment of commercial paper and intends to use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include payment of a portion of the costs relating to civil litigation pertaining to the Leak.

Sempra Infrastructure

SI Partners. In January 2022, SI Partners completed a private offering of $400 million in aggregate principal of 3.25% senior notes due in full upon maturity on January 15, 2032 to “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and non-U.S. persons outside the U.S. under Regulation S under the Securities Act. 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. The notes are senior unsecured obligations that rank equally with all of SI Partners’ existing and future outstanding unsecured senior indebtedness and are redeemable prior to maturity, subject to their terms, and in certain circumstances subject to make-whole provisions. Sempra Infrastructure received proceeds of $390 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $10 million). Sempra Infrastructure used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of certain indebtedness of its subsidiaries.

ECA LNG Phase 1. In December 2020, ECA LNG Phase 1 entered into a five-year loan agreement with a syndicate of nine banks for an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.6 billion. Sempra and TotalEnergies SE have provided guarantees for repayment of the loans plus accrued and unpaid interest based on their proportionate ownership interest in ECA LNG Phase 1 of 83.4% and 16.6%, respectively. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $392 million and $341 million, respectively, was outstanding under the loan agreement, with a weighted-average interest rate of 3.71% and 2.93%, respectively.
