Earnings Per Share Computations Table Basic EPS is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shares (from both continuing and discontinued operations) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS includes the potential dilution of common stock equivalent shares that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

(1)    In the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, due to the dilutive effect of mandatory convertible preferred stock, the numerator used to calculate diluted EPS includes an add-back of dividends declared on our mandatory convertible preferred stock in those quarters.
(2)    Includes 460 and 542 average fully vested RSUs held in our Deferred Compensation Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These fully vested RSUs are included in weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic EPS because there are no conditions under which the corresponding shares will not be issued.
(3)    Due to market fluctuations of both Sempra Energy common stock and the comparative indices used to determine the vesting percentage of our total shareholder return performance-based RSUs, which we discuss in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, dilutive RSUs may vary widely from period-to-period.

(1)    Amounts include principal balances plus accumulated interest outstanding.
(2)    U.S. dollar-denominated loan at a variable interest rate based on 1-month LIBOR plus 196 bps (2.11% at December 31, 2020). At December 31, 2020, $1 million of accrued interest receivable is included in Due from Unconsolidated Affiliates – Current. In March 2021, IEnova acquired the 50% equity interest in ESJ that it did not already own and ESJ became a wholly owned, consolidated subsidiary, resulting in the elimination of this note receivable.
(3)    Mexican peso-denominated revolving line of credit for up to 14.2 billion Mexican pesos or approximately $693 million U.S. dollar-equivalent at March 31, 2021, at a variable interest rate based on the 91-day Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate plus 220 bps (6.45% at March 31, 2021), to finance construction of a natural gas marine pipeline. At both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $2 million of accrued interest receivable is included in Due from Unconsolidated Affiliates – Current. At March 31, 2021, we classified this revolving line of credit as noncurrent because we expect to extend the maturity date on a long-term basis prior to its stated maturity date.
(4)    U.S. dollar-denominated loan at a variable interest rate based on 6-month LIBOR plus 290 bps (3.11% at March 31, 2021).
(5)     U.S. dollar-denominated loan at a fixed interest rate.
(6)    SDG&E and SoCalGas are included in the consolidated income tax return of Sempra Energy and their respective income tax expense is computed as an amount equal to that which would result from each company having always filed a separate return.
