Sempra Reports Strong Third-Quarter 2023 Earnings Results
•Updating 2023 GAAP EPS guidance range and expecting to be at or above the high-end of full-year 2023 adjusted EPS guidance range
•Expecting 10% to 20% increase above current five-year $40 billion capital plan
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 3, 2023 – Sempra (NYSE: SRE) (BMV: SRE) today announced third-quarter 2023 earnings of $721 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, compared to third-quarter 2022 earnings of $485 million, or $0.77 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis, the company’s third-quarter 2023 earnings were $685 million or $1.08 per diluted share, compared to $622 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, in 2022. Further, Sempra is updating its full-year 2023 GAAP earnings per common share (EPS) guidance range to $4.44 to $4.74 and, as a result of the company’s strong business performance and financial results in the first nine months of the year, expects to be at or above its full-year 2023 adjusted EPS guidance range of $4.30 to $4.60.
“At Sempra, we are really excited about the growth we see in our company’s future,” said Jeffrey W. Martin, chairman and CEO of Sempra. “Our utilities are benefiting from serving growing markets with constructive regulation, while our Sempra Infrastructure business continues to expand across all three of its business lines, particularly in the export of U.S. liquefied natural gas.”
Sempra's earnings for the first nine months of 2023 were $2.293 billion, or $3.63 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $1.656 billion, or $2.62 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2022. Adjusted earnings for the first nine months of 2023 were $2.201 billion, or $3.48 per diluted share, compared to $2.172 billion, or $3.43 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2022.
The reported financial results reflect certain significant items as described on an after-tax basis in the following table of earnings in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), reconciled to adjusted earnings, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 and 2022. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Sempra intends to roll forward its five-year capital plan on its fourth-quarter earnings call and expects a potential increase above its current five-year $40 billion capital plan, driven by a portfolio of investment opportunities at its regulated utilities.
Sempra Texas
At Sempra Texas, Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (Oncor) continues to build out one of the largest pure-play transmission and distribution platforms in America to meet the state’s growth in residential, commercial and industrial sectors. Premise growth in Oncor’s service territory is estimated to be 2%, approximately double the national average. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas set 10 peak demand records this summer and the Oncor team safely maintained grid reliability while investing in the expansion and modernization of its growing energy networks.
During the quarter, Oncor connected approximately 20,000 new premises, bringing its year-to-date new premise count to approximately 57,000. Across its territory, Oncor built, rebuilt or upgraded approximately 600 miles of distribution lines and 40 miles of transmission lines. Additionally, three load-serving substations were placed into service. Oncor remains on pace to set a company record for annual new and active generation and retail transmission point-of-interconnection (POI) requests in the queue with 755 active POI requests at the end of the quarter, representing a 34% increase over the same period in 2022. As of Sept. 30, 2023, Oncor had 447 active generation requests, of which approximately 47% were solar, 41% were storage, 9% were wind and 3% were gas.
Texas remains a highly constructive regulatory environment with, among other important recent utility legislation, Texas House Bill 2555 creating a path to enhance grid resiliency and recover costs related to resiliency measures through rates. In addition, Texas Senate Bill 1015 is expected to reduce regulatory lag with respect to recovery of distribution investments through interim distribution cost recovery factor rate adjustments.
Sempra California
San Diego Gas & Electric Co. (SDGE) and Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) are advancing California’s resiliency and climate goals through the expansion and modernization of energy networks.
In October, under the California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC) cost of capital mechanism, these companies filed to adjust their respective return on equity and cost of debt rates beginning in 2024 to account for interest rate changes. The CPUC continues to advance the 2024 general rate cases of SDGE and SoCalGas, which focus on delivering cleaner energy, safely and reliably, in alignment with California's sustainability goals. The proposed decision is expected to be issued in the second quarter of 2024 with rates to be retroactively effective to Jan. 1, 2024.
SDGE requested CPUC approval for 160 megawatts of utility-owned energy storage to support reliability and submitted bid materials to the California Independent System Operator for projects identified in its 2022-2023 Transmission Plan Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) 1000 solicitation process.
SoCalGas is working to modernize California’s energy networks through investments in next-generation technologies such as clean hydrogen, renewable natural gas and fuel cells. Federal, state and local governments are increasingly recognizing hydrogen’s potentially important role in accelerating energy and climate goals. In October, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) selected California’s Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems, of which SoCalGas is a partner, for up to $1.2 billion in funding to develop a regional clean hydrogen hub in California. In August, the state announced the launch of California’s Hydrogen Market Development Strategy, which aims to employ an all-of-government approach to building California’s renewable hydrogen market.
Sempra Infrastructure
Sempra Infrastructure is focused on delivering energy for a better world through its high-growth, low-carbon platform. The company’s clean power, energy networks and liquefied natural gas (LNG) and net-zero businesses are strategically positioned to support the dual priorities of decarbonization and energy security for the U.S., Mexico and their allies.
The Port Arthur energy hub reached several milestones this past quarter. In September, the Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 expansion project under development in Jefferson County, Texas received FERC approval. With Phase 1 currently under construction, the development of the proposed Phase 2 project could increase the total
liquefaction capacity of the facility from approximately 13 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) to up to 26 Mtpa. This news followed the successful completion of the sale of a 42% indirect, non-controlling interest in the Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project to KKR.
Increasing global interest in lower emissions fuels and the status of the U.S. as a strong energy partner are creating further opportunities for Sempra Infrastructure. In August, Sempra Infrastructure announced a non-binding agreement with Mitsubishi Corporation and a consortium comprised of Tokyo Gas Company, Ltd., Osaka Gas Company, Ltd., and Toho Gas Company, Ltd. to participate in the evaluation of a proposed project to produce e-natural gas, a form of carbon recycling, in the U.S. Gulf Coast. If the project is successful, it would be one of the first links of an international supply chain of liquefied e-natural gas, a carbon neutral synthetic gas produced from renewable hydrogen and recycled carbon dioxide.
Additionally, the DOE selected HyVelocity Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub, of which Sempra Infrastructure is a partner, for up to $1.2 billion in funding to help advance a network of hydrogen producers, consumers and connective infrastructure while supporting the production, storage, delivery and end-use of hydrogen.
Earnings Guidance
Sempra is updating its full-year 2023 GAAP EPS guidance range to $4.44 to $4.74. As a result of the company’s strong execution and financial results in the first nine months of the year, Sempra expects to be at or above the high-end of its full-year 2023 adjusted EPS guidance range of $4.30 to $4.60. Sempra also is affirming its full-year 2024 EPS guidance range of $4.55 to $4.90 and affirming its projected long-term EPS growth rate of 6% to 8%. All share and per share information in this release, including the guidance ranges, reflects the two-for-one split of Sempra’s common stock in the form of a 100% stock dividend that was distributed to shareholders on Aug. 21, 2023.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP financial measures include Sempra’s adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS, and adjusted EPS guidance range. See Table A for additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures.

Sempra Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures (GAAP represents generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America). These non-GAAP financial measures exclude significant items that are generally not related to our ongoing business activities and/or are infrequent in nature. These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude the impact from foreign currency and inflation on our monetary positions in Mexico and net unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, which we expect to occur in future periods, and which can vary significantly from one period to the next. Exclusion of these items is useful to management and investors because it provides a meaningful comparison of the performance of Sempra’s business operations to prior and future periods. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplementary information that should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The table below reconciles for historical periods these non-GAAP financial measures to Sempra GAAP Earnings and GAAP EPS, which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

This non-GAAP financial measure also excludes the impact from foreign currency and inflation on our monetary positions in Mexico and net unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, which we expect to occur in future periods, and which can vary significantly from one period to the next. Exclusion of these items is useful to management and investors because it provides a meaningful comparison of the performance of Sempra's business operations to prior and future periods. Sempra 2023 Adjusted EPS Guidance Range should not be considered an alternative to Sempra 2023 GAAP EPS Guidance Range. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplementary information that should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The table below reconciles Sempra 2023 Adjusted EPS Guidance Range to Sempra 2023 GAAP EPS Guidance Range, which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
