(1) Sempra Energy adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) are non-GAAP financial measures. See appendix for information regarding non-GAAP financial measures and descriptions of adjustments above. Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS for the three months and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2015, have been revised to include after-tax LNG development expenses of $2 million and $7 million, respectively, for consistency with the comparable periods in 2016. LNG development expenses are included in adjusted earnings in 2016. Amounts excluded from GAAP earnings are after-tax and, if applicable, after noncontrolling interests.

Table A (Continued)

RECONCILIATION OF SEMPRA ENERGY GAAP EARNINGS TO SEMPRA ENERGY ADJUSTED EARNINGS (Unaudited)

Sempra Energy Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share exclude items (after the effects of taxes and, if applicable, noncontrolling interests) in 2016 and 2015 as follows:

Three months ended September 30, 2016:

•

$350 million noncash gain from the remeasurement of our equity method investment in Gasoductos de Chihuahua (GdC), a 50-50 joint venture between our Mexican subsidiary, IEnova, and Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), in connection with IEnova's September 2016 acquisition of PEMEX's 50-percent interest in GdC

•

$78 million gain at Sempra Natural Gas on the September 2016 sale of EnergySouth Inc., the parent company of Mobile Gas and Willmut Gas

Nine months ended September 30, 2016:

• 

$350 million noncash gain from the remeasurement of our equity method investment in GdC

• 

$78 million gain on the sale of EnergySouth

• 

$(123) million losses from the permanent release of pipeline capacity at Sempra Natural Gas

• 

$(80) million adjustments related to tax repairs deductions reallocated to ratepayers as a result of the 2016 General Rate Case Final Decision (2016 GRC FD) at the California Utilities

$13 million reduction in the plant closure loss related to the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) due to California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approval of a compliance filing related to San Diego Gas & Electric Company's (SDG&E) authorized recovery of its investment in SONGS

Sempra Energy Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are non-GAAP financial measures (GAAP represents accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America). Because of the significance and nature of these items, management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a more meaningful comparison of the performance of Sempra Energy's business operations from 2016 to 2015 and to future periods, and also as a base for projection of future earnings-per-share compound annual growth rate (EPS CAGR) from 2016 to 2020. 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 Energy Earnings and Diluted Earnings Per Common Share, which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Income taxes were calculated based on applicable statutory tax rates, except for adjustments that are solely income tax. Income taxes on the impairment of TdM were calculated based on the applicable statutory tax rate, including translation from historic to current exchange rates.

(2)

Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015 have been revised to include after-tax LNG development expenses of $2 million and $7 million, respectively, for consistency with the comparable periods in 2016. LNG development expenses are included in adjusted earnings and diluted earnings per common share in 2016.

Table A (Continued)

RECONCILIATION OF SEMPRA ENERGY 2016 ADJUSTED EARNINGS-PER-SHARE GUIDANCE RANGE TO SEMPRA ENERGY 2016 EARNINGS-PER-SHARE GUIDANCE RANGE (Unaudited)

Sempra Energy 2016 Adjusted Earnings-Per-Share Guidance Range of $4.60 to $5.00 excludes items (after the effects of taxes and, if applicable, noncontrolling interests) as follows:

• 

$350 million noncash gain from the remeasurement of our equity method investment in GdC recorded in September 2016;

• 

$78 million gain from the September 2016 sale of EnergySouth;

•

$123 million charge recorded in the second quarter of 2016 from Sempra Natural Gas' permanent release of pipeline capacity;    

• 

any earnings impact from any transaction to sell TdM in Mexico, including the $90 million impairment charge and the $1 million deferred income tax expense recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2016;

• 

$80 million from adjustments related to tax repairs at the California Utilities as a result of the 2016 GRC FD; and

• 

$27 million Rockies Express impairment charge recorded in the first quarter of 2016.

Sempra Energy 2016 Adjusted Earnings-Per-Share Guidance is a non-GAAP financial measure. Because of the significance and nature of the excluded items, management believes this non-GAAP measure provides better clarity into the ongoing results of the business and the comparability of such results to prior and future periods and also as a base for projected earnings-per-share compound annual growth rate. Sempra Energy 2016 Adjusted Earnings-Per-Share Guidance should not be considered an alternative to Earnings-Per-Share Guidance determined in accordance with GAAP. The table below reconciles Sempra Energy 2016 Adjusted Earnings-Per-Share Guidance Range to Sempra Energy 2016 Earnings-Per-Share Guidance Range, which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
