SEMPRA ENERGY'S THIRD-QUARTER 2004

NET INCOME RISES 9.5 PERCENT

• Power Generation, Energy Trading Net Income Increase Sharply
• 2004 Earnings Guidance Raised to $3.15 to $3.25 per Share

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 4, 2004 -- Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE) today reported third-quarter 2004 earnings of $231 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, compared with $211 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2003.

For the first nine months of 2004, Sempra Energy's earnings were $549 million, or $2.36 per diluted share, up 19 percent per share over the $415 million, or $1.98 per diluted share, for the same period in 2003. Earnings per share in 2004 have been affected by a greater number of shares outstanding.

"Our strong third-quarter results reflect the continued growth in our power-generation and energy-trading businesses," said Stephen L. Baum, chairman and chief executive officer of Sempra Energy. "Our year-to-date performance and positive outlook for the remainder of the year put us on pace for record results."

Based on the updated outlook, Baum said the company is raising its 2004 earnings-per-share guidance range to $3.15 to $3.25 from $2.90 to $3.10.

Sempra Energy's revenues in the third quarter 2004 were $2.2 billion, compared with $2.1 billion in the third quarter last year.

OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS

Sempra Energy Utilities

Net income for Southern California Gas Co. in the third-quarter 2004 rose to $68 million from $53 million in the year-earlier period, due to higher revenues and an after-tax $9 million one-time gain from a property sale. SoCalGas' third-quarter 2003 results included an after-tax charge of $32 million for litigation costs and losses associated with a sublease.

Third-quarter 2004 net income for San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) was $60 million, compared with $120 million in last year's third quarter. Third-quarter 2003 results included an after-tax, one-time positive contribution of $65 million from the settlement of litigation with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) related to intermediate-term power-purchase contracts owned by SDG&E, offset by an after-tax charge of $11 million for litigation costs.

Sempra Energy Trading

In the third quarter 2004, Sempra Energy Trading's net income doubled to $44 million from $22 million in last year's third quarter, driven primarily by increased profitability in its petroleum trading operations.

"Through the first three quarters, Sempra Energy Trading has earned $143 million and is off to a solid start in the fourth quarter," said Baum.

Sempra Energy Resources

Sempra Energy Resources' net income rose to $64 million in the third quarter 2004 from $33 million in the year-earlier period, due to an increase in contracted power sales and a full quarter of contributions from the new Texas power plants acquired in July 2004.

-more-

Sempra Energy International

Sempra Energy International's third-quarter 2004 net income was $7 million, compared with a $32 million loss last year during the same period. Quarterly results last year included an after-tax charge of $50 million related to the write-down of the carrying value of assets of Frontier Energy, a North Carolina-based gas utility subsidiary.

Sempra Energy LNG

Last month, Sempra Energy LNG announced two milestone agreements that have enabled the company to contract for the entire processing capacity of its Energía Costa Azul liquefied natural gas (LNG) receipt terminal in Baja California, Mexico. Site preparation has begun and discussions already are underway with existing customers and others for expansion of the facility.

The agreements ensure that Sempra Energy LNG retains full ownership and operating responsibility for the Energía Costa Azul terminal. The company signed a 20-year agreement with Shell International Gas Limited to provide Shell with half the capacity of the terminal. Sempra Energy LNG also signed a 20-year agreement with BP and its Tangguh LNG partners to supply the other half of the terminal's capacity with LNG from Indonesia. The total initial gas processing capacity for the Energía Costa Azul facility is 1 billion cubic feet per day. Operations are scheduled to begin in 2008.

Sempra Energy LNG also is developing LNG receipt terminals near Lake Charles, La., and Port Arthur, Texas.
