Nov 5, 2021
- Marking completion of integrated transactions forming Sempra Infrastructure
- Announcing higher projected 2022-2026 capital plan at Oncor of $15 billion

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra (NYSE: SRE) (BMV: SRE) today announced third-quarter 2021 losses of $648 million, or $2.03 per diluted share, compared to third-quarter 2020 earnings of $351 million, or $1.21 per diluted share. Sempra's third-quarter 2021 results included a $1.1 billion after-tax charge associated with civil litigation related to the 2015 Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility leak. On an adjusted basis, the company's third-quarter 2021 earnings were $545 million, or $1.70 per diluted share, compared to $432 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2020.

"At this point in the year, we are excited to see strong growth across all three of our business platforms," said Trevor Mihalik, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Sempra. "This is a product of our strategic focus on investing in some of the most attractive energy markets in North America, and it sets us up well for strong financial and operating performance through the end of the year and into 2022."

Sempra's earnings for the first nine months of 2021 were $650 million, or $2.09 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $3.35 billion, or $11.43 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2020. Adjusted earnings for the first nine months of 2021 were $1.949 billion, or $6.27 per diluted share, compared to $1.674 billion, or $5.70 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2020.

The reported financial results reflect certain significant items as described on an after-tax basis in the following table of GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America) earnings, reconciled to adjusted earnings, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 and 2020.

Advancing Key Strategic Priorities at Sempra California

Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) recently announced agreements expected to resolve substantially all material civil litigation against SoCalGas and Sempra related to the 2015 Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility leak. The net, after-tax cash outflows for SoCalGas are expected to ultimately be up to approximately $895 million, after taking into consideration the remaining insurance receivable and other adjustments.

SoCalGas also recently issued a new economy-wide technical analysis, which underscores the essential role that clean fuels like hydrogen and renewable natural gas (RNG) are expected to play in reaching carbon neutrality. The analysis highlights that a clean fuels network made, in part, by leveraging existing gas infrastructure to deliver clean fuels and to manage carbon could allow California to achieve its net-zero goals more affordably and more effectively than other alternatives.

Continuing Strong Growth at Sempra Texas

In Texas, Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (Oncor) has announced its updated, five-year projected capital plan for 2022-2026 of $15 billion, a record high for the company. Additionally, Oncor now projects its rate base to grow to nearly $28 billion by 2026, which reflects a compound annual growth rate of about 8% over the five-year period. Oncor's robust projected capital plan and rate base figures are expected to support the economic development seen throughout its service territory, forecasted generation additions, strong premise growth, and critical investments in grid resiliency, safety and reliability.

Investing in the Energy Transition at Sempra Infrastructure 

Last month, Sempra completed the sale of a non-controlling, 20% interest in Sempra Infrastructure to KKR for a purchase price of $3.37 billion, subject to post-closing adjustments. Proceeds from the sale are expected to be used to, among other things, help fund growth across Sempra's capital program, which is centered on its U.S. utilities, and further strengthen its balance sheet.

Also, Sempra completed its follow-on cash tender offer to acquire the remaining publicly owned shares of Infraestructura Energética Nova S.A.B. de C.V. (IEnova) that were not obtained in the previously completed exchange offer, and IEnova's shares have been delisted from the Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, S.A.B. de C.V.).

With the consolidation of Sempra's liquefied natural gas (LNG) business and its ownership of IEnova under Sempra Infrastructure, the newly formed business platform is expected to generate increased shareholder value over the long-term by investing in the energy systems of the future.

Earnings Guidance

Sempra is updating its full-year 2021 GAAP EPS guidance range, including items expected to be reflected in our fourth quarter results, to $3.01 to $3.61, and the company is continuing to guide to the upper end of the range for its full-year 2021 adjusted EPS guidance of $7.75 to $8.35. Sempra is also reaffirming its full-year 2022 EPS guidance range of $8.10 to $8.70.

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.

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

Sempra Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS exclude items (after the effects of income taxes and, if applicable, noncontrolling interests) in 2021 and 2020 as follows:

Three months ended September 30, 2021:

  • $(1,132) million from impacts associated with Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility litigation at Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas)
  • $28 million impact from foreign currency and inflation and associated undesignated derivatives
  • $(89) million net unrealized losses on commodity derivatives

Three months ended September 30, 2020:

  • $(22) million from impacts associated with Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility litigation and regulatory matters at SoCalGas
  • $(18) million impact from foreign currency and inflation and associated undesignated derivatives
  • $(34) million net unrealized losses on commodity derivatives
  • $(7) million reduction to the gain on sale of our Chilean businesses as a result of post-closing adjustments

Nine months ended September 30, 2021:

  • $(1,132) million from impacts associated with Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility litigation at SoCalGas
  • $(41) million impact from foreign currency and inflation and associated undesignated derivatives
  • $(176) million net unrealized losses on commodity derivatives
  • $50 million equity earnings from investment in RBS Sempra Commodities LLP, which represents a reduction to an estimate of our obligations to settle pending value added tax (VAT) matters and related legal costs at our equity method investment at Parent and other

Nine months ended September 30, 2020:

  • $(94) million from impacts associated with Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility litigation and regulatory matters at SoCalGas
  • $111 million impact from foreign currency and inflation and associated undesignated derivatives
  • $12 million net unrealized gains on commodity derivatives
  • $(100) million equity losses from investment in RBS Sempra Commodities LLP, which represents an estimate of our obligations to settle pending VAT matters and related legal costs at our equity method investment at Parent and other
  • $1,747 million gain on the sale of our South American businesses

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 effects and associated undesignated derivatives and 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 (Losses) Earnings and GAAP EPS, which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

(1)

Income taxes were primarily calculated based on applicable statutory tax rates. We did not record an income tax expense for the equity earnings or an income tax benefit for the equity losses from our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities LLP because, even though a portion of the liabilities may be deductible under United Kingdom tax law, it is not probable that the deduction will reduce United Kingdom taxes.

(2)

Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted Earnings for Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted EPS have been updated to reflect impact from foreign currency and inflation and associated undesignated derivatives and net unrealized losses (gains) on commodity derivatives for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

(3)

In the three months ended September 30, 2021, the total weighted-average number of potentially dilutive securities of 699 were not included in the computation of GAAP EPS because to do so would have decreased losses per share, additionally because the conversion of the series B preferred stock is dilutive for Adjusted Earnings, 640 series B preferred stock shares are added back to the denominator used to calculate Adjusted EPS.

(4)

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, because the assumed conversion of the series A preferred stock is dilutive for Adjusted Earnings, 14,470 series A preferred stock shares are added back to the denominator used to calculate Adjusted EPS.

RECONCILIATION OF SEMPRA 2021 ADJUSTED EPS GUIDANCE RANGE TO SEMPRA 2021 GAAP EPS GUIDANCE RANGE (Unaudited)

Sempra 2021 Adjusted EPS Guidance Range of $7.75 to $8.35 excludes items (after the effects of income taxes and, if applicable, noncontrolling interests) as follows:

  • $(1,132) million from impacts associated with Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility litigation at SoCalGas
  • $(41) million impact from foreign currency and inflation and associated undesignated derivatives for the nine months ended September 30, 2021(1)
  • $(176) million net unrealized losses on commodity derivatives for the nine months ended September 30, 2021
  • $(72) million net income tax expense to derecognize a deferred income tax asset upon completing the sale of a 20% equity interest in Sempra Infrastructure Partners in October 2021
  • $(30) million in charges associated with hedge termination costs and write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs from early redemption of debt at Sempra Mexico in October 2021
  • $(93) million in charges associated with make-whole premiums and write-off of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs from early redemptions of debt at Parent and other in December 2021
  • $50 million equity earnings from investment in RBS Sempra Commodities LLP, which represents a reduction to an estimate of our obligations to settle pending VAT matters and related legal costs at our equity method investment at Parent and other

Sempra 2021 Adjusted EPS Guidance is a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes the impact from foreign currency and inflation and associated undesignated derivatives and 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 2021 Adjusted EPS Guidance Range should not be considered an alternative to Sempra 2021 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 2021 Adjusted EPS Guidance Range to Sempra 2021 GAAP EPS Guidance Range, which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
