INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We make statements in this report that are not historical fact and constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions with respect to the future, involve risks and uncertainties, and are not guarantees of performance. These forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the filing date of this report. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or other factors.
In this report, when we use words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “contemplates,” “assumes,” “depends,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “confident,” “may,” “can,” “potential,” “possible,” “proposed,” “target,” “pursue,” “outlook,” “maintain,” or similar expressions, or when we discuss our guidance, strategy, plans, goals, opportunities, projections, initiatives, objectives or intentions, we are making forward-looking statements.
Factors, among others, that could cause our actual results and future actions to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements include
actions and the timing of actions, including decisions, new regulations, and issuances of permits and other authorizations by the CPUC, DOE, DOGGR, FERC, EPA, PHMSA, DPH, states, cities and counties, and other regulatory and governmental bodies in the United States and other countries in which we operate;
the timing and success of business development efforts and construction projects, including risks in obtaining or maintaining permits and other authorizations on a timely basis, risks in completing construction projects on schedule and on budget, and risks in obtaining the consent and participation of partners;
the resolution of civil and criminal litigation and regulatory investigations;
deviations from regulatory precedent or practice that result in a reallocation of benefits or burdens among shareholders and ratepayers; modifications of settlements; and delays in, or disallowance or denial of, regulatory agency authorizations to recover costs in rates from customers (including with respect to regulatory assets associated with the SONGS facility and 2007 wildfires) or regulatory agency approval for projects required to enhance safety and reliability;
the availability of electric power, natural gas and liquefied natural gas, and natural gas pipeline and storage capacity, including disruptions caused by failures in the transmission grid, moratoriums or limitations on the withdrawal or injection of natural gas from or into storage facilities, and equipment failures;
changes in energy markets; volatility in commodity prices; moves to reduce or eliminate reliance on natural gas; and the impact on the value of our investment in natural gas storage and related assets from low natural gas prices, low volatility of natural gas prices and the inability to procure favorable long-term contracts for storage services;
risks posed by actions of third parties who control the operations of our investments, and risks that our partners or counterparties will be unable or unwilling to fulfill their contractual commitments;
weather conditions, natural disasters, accidents, equipment failures, computer system outages, explosions, terrorist attacks and other events that disrupt our operations, damage our facilities and systems, cause the release of greenhouse gases, radioactive materials and harmful emissions, cause wildfires and subject us to third-party liability for property damage or personal injuries, fines and penalties, some of which may not be covered by insurance (including costs in excess of applicable policy limits) or may be disputed by insurers;
cybersecurity threats to the energy grid, storage and pipeline infrastructure, the information and systems used to operate our businesses and the confidentiality of our proprietary information and the personal information of our customers and employees;
capital markets and economic conditions, including the availability of credit and the liquidity of our investments; and fluctuations in inflation, interest and currency exchange rates and our ability to effectively hedge the risk of such fluctuations;
changes in the tax code as a result of potential federal tax reform, such as the elimination of the deduction for interest and non-deductibility of all, or a portion of, the cost of imported materials, equipment and commodities;
changes in foreign and domestic trade policies and laws, including border tariffs, revisions to favorable international trade agreements, and changes that make our exports less competitive or otherwise restrict our ability to export;
the ability to win competitively bid infrastructure projects against a number of strong and aggressive competitors;
expropriation of assets by foreign governments and title and other property disputes;
the impact on reliability of SDG&E’s electric transmission and distribution system due to increased amount and variability of power supply from renewable energy sources;
the impact on competitive customer rates due to the growth in distributed and local power generation and the corresponding decrease in demand for power delivered through SDG&E’s electric transmission and distribution system and from possible

departing retail load resulting from customers transferring to Direct Access and Community Choice Aggregation or other forms of distributed and local power generation and the potential risk of nonrecovery for stranded assets and contractual obligations; and
other uncertainties, some of which may be difficult to predict and are beyond our control.
We caution you not to rely unduly on any forward-looking statements. You should review and consider carefully the risks, uncertainties and other factors that affect our business as described herein and in our most recent Annual Report and other reports that we file with the SEC.

SEMPRA ENERGY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
 
 
 
NOTE 1. GENERAL
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
Sempra Energy
Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Sempra Energy, a California-based Fortune 500 energy-services holding company, and its consolidated subsidiaries and VIEs. Sempra Energy’s operating units are
Sempra Utilities, which includes our SDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra South American Utilities reportable segments; and
Sempra Infrastructure, which includes our Sempra Mexico, Sempra Renewables and Sempra LNG & Midstream reportable segments.
We refer to SDG&E and SoCalGas collectively as the California Utilities, which do not include our South American utilities or the utilities in our Sempra Infrastructure operating unit. Sempra Global is the holding company for most of our subsidiaries that are not subject to California utility regulation. All references in these Notes to “Sempra Utilities,” “Sempra Infrastructure” and their respective reportable segments are not intended to refer to any legal entity with the same or similar name.
SDG&E
SDG&E’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include its accounts and the accounts of a VIE of which SDG&E is the primary beneficiary, as we discuss in Note 5 under “Variable Interest Entities.” SDG&E’s common stock is wholly owned by Enova Corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra Energy.
SoCalGas
SoCalGas’ common stock is wholly owned by Pacific Enterprises, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra Energy.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
This is a combined report of Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas. We provide separate information for SDG&E and SoCalGas as required. References in this report to “we,” “our” and “Sempra Energy Consolidated” are to Sempra Energy and its consolidated entities, unless otherwise indicated by the context. We have eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions within the consolidated financial statements of each reporting entity.
Throughout this report, we refer to the following as Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements when discussed together or collectively:
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes of Sempra Energy and its subsidiaries and VIEs;
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes of SDG&E and its VIE; and
the Condensed Financial Statements and related Notes of SoCalGas.
We have prepared the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP and in accordance with the interim-period-reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. We evaluated events and transactions that occurred after June 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued and, in the opinion of management, the accompanying statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. These adjustments are only of a normal, recurring nature.
All December 31, 2016 balance sheet information in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been derived from our audited 2016 Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the interim-period-reporting provisions of U.S. GAAP and the SEC.
We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. We follow the same accounting policies for interim reporting purposes.
You should read the information in this Quarterly Report in conjunction with the Annual Report.

24



Regulated Operations
The California Utilities and Sempra Mexico’s natural gas distribution utility, Ecogas, prepare their financial statements in accordance with the provisions of U.S. GAAP governing rate-regulated operations. We discuss these provisions and revenue recognition at our utilities in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Sempra South American Utilities has controlling interests in two electric distribution utilities in South America, Chilquinta Energía in Chile and Luz del Sur in Peru. Revenues are based on tariffs that are set by government agencies in their respective countries based on an efficient model distribution company defined by those agencies. Because the tariffs are based on a model and are intended to cover the costs of the model company, but are not based on the costs of the specific utility and may not result in full cost recovery, these utilities do not meet the requirements necessary for, and therefore do not apply, regulatory accounting treatment under U.S. GAAP.
Our Sempra Mexico segment includes the operating companies of our subsidiary, IEnova. Certain business activities at IEnova are regulated by the CRE and meet the regulatory accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP. Pipeline projects currently under construction by IEnova that meet the regulatory accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP record the impact of AFUDC related to equity. We discuss AFUDC in Note 5 below and in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Sempra LNG & Midstream owned Mobile Gas in southwest Alabama and Willmut Gas in Mississippi until they were sold in September 2016, as we discuss in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. Mobile Gas and Willmut Gas also prepared their financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP provisions governing rate-regulated operations.

 
 
 
 
 
NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
We describe below recent pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” ASU 2015-14, “Deferral of the Effective Date,” ASU 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” ASU 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” and ASU 2016-12, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”: ASU 2014-09 provides accounting guidance for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to their customers. The guidance also provides a model for the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain nonfinancial assets, such as property and equipment, including real estate. This guidance must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. Amending ASU 2014-09, ASU 2016-08 clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, ASU 2016-10 clarifies the determination of whether a good or service is separately identifiable from other promises and revenue recognition related to licenses of intellectual property, and ASU 2016-12 provides guidance on transition, collectability, noncash consideration, and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes.
ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year for all entities and permits early adoption on a limited basis. For public entities, ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and is effective for interim periods in the year of adoption. We will adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method and are currently evaluating the effect on our ongoing financial reporting. As part of our evaluation, we formed multiple working groups with oversight from a steering committee comprised of members from relevant Sempra Energy business units. We separated our various revenue streams into high-level categories, which served as the basis for accounting analysis and documentation of the impact of ASU 2014-09 on our revenue recognition. The majority of Sempra Energy’s revenues result from electric and natural gas service to Sempra Utilities’ customers. Sempra Energy does not anticipate that the ASUs will materially impact the amount and timing of consolidated revenues. However, we do anticipate changes to the presentation of revenues on our statements of operations and additional disclosures around the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We continue to actively monitor outstanding issues currently being addressed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Revenue Recognition Working Group and the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Transition Resource Group, since conclusions reached by these groups may impact our application of these ASUs.
ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”: In addition to the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments, ASU 2016-01 requires entities to measure equity investments, other than those accounted for under the equity method, at fair value and recognize changes in fair value in net income. Entities will no longer be able to use the cost method of accounting for equity securities. However, for equity investments without readily determinable fair values

25



that do not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value using net asset value per share, entities may elect a measurement alternative that will allow those investments to be recorded at cost, less impairment, and adjusted for subsequent observable price changes. Entities must record a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the standard is adopted, except for equity investments without readily determinable fair values, for which the guidance will be applied prospectively.
For public entities, ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We will adopt ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018 and do not expect it to materially affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2016-02, “Leases”: ASU 2016-02 requires entities to include substantially all leases on the balance sheet by requiring the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases. Entities may elect to exclude from the balance sheet those leases with a maximum possible term of less than 12 months. For lessees, a lease is classified as finance or operating, and the asset and liability are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. For lessors, accounting for leases is largely unchanged from previous provisions of U.S. GAAP, other than certain changes to align lessor accounting to specific changes made to lessee accounting and ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-02 also requires new qualitative and quantitative disclosures for both lessees and lessors.
For public entities, ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and is effective for interim periods in the year of adoption. The standard requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes optional practical expedients that may be elected, which would allow entities to continue to account for leases that commence before the effective date of the standard in accordance with previous U.S. GAAP unless the lease is modified, except for the lessee requirement to begin recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all operating leases on the balance sheet at the reporting date. We are currently evaluating the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting and plan to adopt the standard on January 1, 2019. As part of our evaluation, we formed a steering committee comprised of members from relevant Sempra Energy business units and are compiling our population of contracts. Based on our assessment to date, we have determined that we will elect the practical expedients available under the transition guidance described above. We continue to monitor outstanding issues currently being addressed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, since conclusions it reaches may impact our application of this ASU.
ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”: ASU 2016-09 is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions. Under ASU 2016-09, excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies are required to be recorded in earnings, and the requirement to reclassify excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies from operating to financing activities on the statement of cash flows has been eliminated. ASU 2016-09 also allows entities to withhold taxes up to the maximum individual statutory tax rate without resulting in liability classification of the award and clarifies that cash payments made to taxing authorities in connection with withheld shares should be classified as financing activities in the statement of cash flows.
We early adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-09 during the three months ended September 30, 2016, with an effective date of January 1, 2016. The adoption did not impact the financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2016, except as noted in the table below. The following financial statement line items for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were affected by the change in accounting principle:

(1)
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, we previously reported 251,938 shares; the effect of adoption of the ASU resulted in an “as adjusted” 252,036 shares.
(2)
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we previously reported $33 million in Other, which was reduced to $11 million, as $22 million was reclassified to Impairment Losses to conform to current year presentation.

ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”: ASU 2016-13 changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. The standard introduces an “expected credit loss” impairment model that requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of most financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other receivables, loan commitments and financial guarantees. ASU 2016-13 also requires use of an allowance to record estimated credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and expands disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models and methods for estimating the credit losses.
For public entities, ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting and have not yet selected the year in which we will adopt the standard.
ASU 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”: ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are to be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows in order to reduce diversity in practice.

27



For public entities, ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, and is effective for interim periods in the year of adoption. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. Entities must apply the guidance retrospectively to all periods presented, but may apply it prospectively if retrospective application would be impracticable. We plan to adopt the standard in the fourth quarter of 2017. If we had adopted ASU 2016-15 effective January 1, 2017, there would have been no impact to the Sempra Energy, SDG&E or SoCalGas Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017, based on the timing of cash receipts and cash payments impacted by the ASU.
ASU 2016-18, “Restricted Cash”: ASU 2016-18 requires amounts described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. A reconciliation between the balance sheet and the statement of cash flows must be disclosed when the balance sheet includes more than one line item for cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents.
For public entities, ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt the standard in the fourth quarter of 2017. If we had adopted ASU 2016-18 effective January 1, 2017, cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the period would have included restricted cash of $76 million and $12 million, and cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period would have included restricted cash of $87 million and $14 million in Sempra Energy’s and SDG&E’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”: ASU 2017-04 removes the second step of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. An entity will be required to apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. For public entities, ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are to be applied on a prospective basis. We have not yet selected the year in which we will adopt the standard.
ASU 2017-05, “Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets”: ASU 2017-05 clarifies the scope of accounting for the derecognition or partial sale of nonfinancial assets to exclude all businesses and nonprofit activities. ASU 2017-05 also provides a definition for in-substance nonfinancial assets and additional guidance on partial sales of nonfinancial assets. For public entities, ASU 2017-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. Entities may apply a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. Under a modified retrospective approach, entities are required to apply the guidance to any transactions that are not completed as of the adoption date. We will adopt the standard in conjunction with our adoption of ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method.
ASU 2017-07, “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost”: ASU 2017-07 requires the service cost component of net periodic benefit costs to be presented in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period and the other components of net periodic benefit costs to be presented separately outside of operating income. The guidance also allows only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization. For public entities, ASU 2017-07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. Amendments are to be applied retrospectively for presentation of costs and prospectively for capitalization of service costs. The guidance allows a practical expedient that permits use of previously disclosed service costs and other costs from the pension and other postretirement benefit plan note in the comparative periods as appropriate estimates when retrospectively changing the presentation of these costs in the statements of operations. We are currently evaluating the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting and will adopt the standard on January 1, 2018. Based on our assessment to date, we have determined that we will elect the practical expedient available under the transition guidance.
 
 
 
 
 
NOTE 3. ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURE ACTIVITY
We consolidate assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the purchase date and include earnings from acquisitions in consolidated earnings after the purchase date. We did not complete any acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016. At June 30, 2017, the purchase price allocations for the acquisitions of Ventika in December 2016 and IEnova Pipelines (formerly known as GdC) in September 2016 were preliminary and subject to completion. Adjustments to the fair value estimates may occur as various valuations and assessments are finalized, primarily related to tax assets, liabilities and other attributes.

28



ACQUISITION
Sempra Renewables
On July 10, 2017, Sempra Renewables paid $124 million in cash for an asset acquisition of a solar project located near Fresno, California, which is currently under construction. We expect to place the project into service in phases during the fourth quarter of 2017 and the first half of 2018 and, when fully constructed, it will be capable of producing up to 200 MW of solar power. The solar project is fully contracted under four long-term PPAs, with an average contract term of 18 years.
ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
We classify assets as held for sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan to actively market an asset for sale and we expect the sale to close within the next 12 months. Upon classifying an asset as held for sale, we record the asset at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value reduced for selling costs.
Sempra Mexico
Termoeléctrica de Mexicali
In February 2016, management approved a plan to market and sell Sempra Mexico’s TdM, a 625-MW natural gas-fired power plant located in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico, as we discuss in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. As a result, we stopped depreciating the plant and classified it as held for sale.
In connection with the sales process, Sempra Mexico received new market information indicating that the fair value of TdM at June 30, 2017 is lower than previously estimated. As a result, and after further analysis, Sempra Mexico further reduced the carrying value of TdM by recognizing a noncash impairment charge of $71 million in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017, recorded in Impairment Losses on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We discuss non-recurring fair value measures and the associated accounting impact on TdM in Note 8.
In connection with TdM’s classification as held for sale, we recognized a $3 million and $8 million tax benefit for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and $3 million and $32 million in tax expense for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, related to a deferred Mexican income tax liability related to the excess of carrying value over the tax basis. As the Mexican income tax on this outside basis difference is based on current carrying value, foreign exchange rates and inflation, such amount could change in future periods until the date of sale. We are actively pursuing the sale of TdM, which we expect to be completed in the second half of 2017.
At June 30, 2017, the carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and related liabilities held for sale associated with TdM are as follows:

DIVESTITURE
Sempra LNG & Midstream
Investment in Rockies Express Pipeline LLC
In March 2016, Sempra LNG & Midstream entered into an agreement to sell its 25-percent interest in Rockies Express for cash consideration of $440 million, subject to adjustment at closing. The transaction closed in May 2016 for total cash proceeds of $443 million.
At the date of the agreement, the carrying value of Sempra LNG & Midstream’s investment in Rockies Express was $484 million. Following the execution of the agreement, Sempra LNG & Midstream measured the fair value of its equity method investment at $440 million, and recognized a $44 million ($27 million after-tax) impairment in Equity Earnings (Losses), Before Income Tax, on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the first quarter of 2016. We discuss non-recurring fair value measures and the associated accounting impact on our investment in Rockies Express in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

GOODWILL
We discuss goodwill in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. The increase in goodwill from $2,364 million at December 31, 2016 to $2,379 million at June 30, 2017 is due to foreign currency translation at Sempra South American Utilities. We record the offset of this fluctuation in OCI.
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
We consolidate a VIE if we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Our determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary is based on qualitative and quantitative analyses, which assess
the purpose and design of the VIE;
the nature of the VIE’s risks and the risks we absorb;
the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and
the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE.
SDG&E
SDG&E’s power procurement is subject to reliability requirements that may require SDG&E to enter into various power purchase arrangements which include variable interests. SDG&E evaluates the respective entities to determine if variable interests exist and, based on the qualitative and quantitative analyses described above, if SDG&E, and thereby Sempra Energy, is the primary beneficiary.
Tolling Agreements
SDG&E has agreements under which it purchases power generated by facilities for which it supplies all of the natural gas to fuel the power plant (i.e., tolling agreements). SDG&E’s obligation to absorb natural gas costs may be a significant variable interest. In addition, SDG&E has the power to direct the dispatch of electricity generated by these facilities. Based upon our analysis, the ability to direct the dispatch of electricity may have the most significant impact on the economic performance of the entity owning the generating facility because of the associated exposure to the cost of natural gas, which fuels the plants, and the value of electricity produced. To the extent that SDG&E (1) is obligated to purchase and provide fuel to operate the facility, (2) has the power to direct the dispatch, and (3) purchases all of the output from the facility for a substantial portion of the facility’s useful life, SDG&E may be the primary beneficiary of the entity owning the generating facility. SDG&E determines if it is the primary beneficiary in these cases based on a qualitative approach in which we consider the operational characteristics of the facility, including its expected power generation output relative to its capacity to generate and the financial structure of the entity, among other factors. If we determine that SDG&E is the primary beneficiary, SDG&E and Sempra Energy consolidate the entity that owns the facility as a VIE.
Otay Mesa VIE
SDG&E has an agreement to purchase power generated at OMEC, a 605-MW generating facility. In addition to tolling, the agreement provides SDG&E with the option to purchase OMEC at the end of the contract term in 2019, or upon earlier termination of the PPA, at a predetermined price subject to adjustments based on performance of the facility. If SDG&E does not exercise its option, under certain circumstances, it may be required to purchase the power plant for $280 million, which we refer to as the put option.
The facility owner, OMEC LLC, is a VIE, which we refer to as Otay Mesa VIE, of which SDG&E is the primary beneficiary. SDG&E has no OMEC LLC voting rights, holds no equity in OMEC LLC and does not operate OMEC. In addition to the risks absorbed under the tolling agreement, SDG&E absorbs separately through the put option a significant portion of the risk that the value of Otay Mesa VIE could decline. Accordingly, SDG&E and Sempra Energy consolidate Otay Mesa VIE. Otay Mesa VIE’s equity of $34 million at June 30, 2017 and $37 million at December 31, 2016 is included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other Noncontrolling Interests for Sempra Energy and in Noncontrolling Interest for SDG&E.
OMEC LLC has a loan outstanding of $300 million at June 30, 2017, the proceeds of which were used for the construction of OMEC. The loan is with third party lenders and is collateralized by OMEC’s assets. SDG&E is not a party to the loan agreement and does not have any additional implicit or explicit financial responsibility to OMEC LLC. The loan fully matures in April 2019 and bears interest at rates varying with market rates. In addition, OMEC LLC has entered into interest rate swap agreements to moderate its exposure to interest rate changes. We provide additional information concerning the interest rate swaps in Note 7.
The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations of Sempra Energy and SDG&E include the following amounts associated with Otay Mesa VIE. The amounts are net of eliminations of transactions between SDG&E and Otay Mesa VIE. The captions in the table below correspond to SDG&E’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

SDG&E has determined that no contracts, other than the one relating to Otay Mesa VIE mentioned above, result in SDG&E being the primary beneficiary of a VIE at June 30, 2017. In addition to the tolling agreements described above, other variable interests involve various elements of fuel and power costs, and other components of cash flow expected to be paid to or received by our counterparties. In most of these cases, the expectation of variability is not substantial, and SDG&E generally does not have the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the other VIEs. In addition, SDG&E is not exposed to losses or gains as a result of these other VIEs, because all such variability would be recovered in rates. If our ongoing evaluation of these VIEs were to conclude that SDG&E becomes the primary beneficiary and consolidation by SDG&E becomes necessary, the effects could be significant to the financial position and liquidity of SDG&E and Sempra Energy. We provide additional information about PPAs with power plant facilities that are VIEs of which SDG&E is not the primary beneficiary in Note 11 below and in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
We provide additional information regarding Otay Mesa VIE in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Sempra Renewables
Effective December 2016, certain of Sempra Renewables’ wind and solar power generation projects are held by limited liability companies whose members are Sempra Renewables and financial institutions. The financial institutions are noncontrolling tax equity investors to which earnings, tax attributes and cash flows are allocated in accordance with the respective limited liability company agreements. These entities are VIEs and Sempra Energy is the primary beneficiary, generally due to Sempra Energy’s power as the operator of the renewable energy projects to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs.
As the primary beneficiary of these tax equity limited liability companies, we consolidate them. Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included $912 million and $926 million of PP&E, net, and equity of $454 million and $468 million included in Other Noncontrolling Interests at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, associated with these entities. Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include the following amounts associated with the tax equity limited liability companies. The amounts are net of eliminations of transactions between Sempra Energy and these entities.

Sempra LNG & Midstream
Sempra Energy’s equity method investment in Cameron LNG JV is considered to be a VIE principally due to contractual provisions that transfer certain risks to customers. Sempra Energy is not the primary beneficiary because we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of Cameron LNG JV. We will continue to evaluate Cameron LNG JV for any changes that may impact our determination of the primary beneficiary. The carrying value of our investment in Cameron LNG JV, including amounts recognized in AOCI related to interest-rate cash flow hedges at Cameron LNG JV, was $977 million at June 30, 2017 and $997 million at December 31, 2016. Our maximum exposure to loss includes the carrying value of our investment and the guarantees discussed in Note 4 above and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Other Variable Interest Entities
Sempra Energy’s other businesses also enter into arrangements which could include variable interests. We evaluate these arrangements and applicable entities based on the qualitative and quantitative analyses described above. Certain of these entities are service companies that are VIEs. As the primary beneficiary of these service companies, we consolidate them; however, their financial statements are not material to the financial statements of Sempra Energy. In all other cases, we have determined that these contracts are not variable interests in a VIE and therefore are not subject to the U.S. GAAP requirements concerning the consolidation of VIEs.

RABBI TRUST
In support of its Supplemental Executive Retirement, Cash Balance Restoration and Deferred Compensation Plans, Sempra Energy maintains dedicated assets, including a Rabbi Trust and investments in life insurance contracts, which totaled $427 million and $430 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following table provides EPS computations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common stock 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)
As adjusted for the adoption of ASU 2016-09 as of January 1, 2016, as we discuss in Note 2.
(2)
Includes 608 and 568 average fully vested RSUs held in our Deferred Compensation Plan for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 604 and 562 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, 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 stock and the comparative indices used to determine the vesting percentage of our total shareholder return performance-based RSUs, which we discuss in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, dilutive RSUs may vary widely from period-to-period.

The potentially dilutive impact from stock options, RSAs and RSUs is calculated under the treasury stock method. Under this method, proceeds based on the exercise price and unearned compensation are assumed to be used to repurchase shares on the open market at the average market price for the period, reducing the number of potential new shares to be issued and sometimes causing an antidilutive effect. The computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 excludes 3,010 and 1,010 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, because to include them would be antidilutive for the period. The computation of diluted EPS

36



for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 excludes 3,010 and 2,408 such potentially dilutive shares, respectively. However, these shares could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future.
Pursuant to our Sempra Energy share-based compensation plans, Sempra Energy’s Board of Directors granted 424,760 performance-based RSUs and 93,619 service-based RSUs during the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily in January. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, IEnova granted 1,034,086 RSUs from the IEnova 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, under which awards are cash settled at vesting based on the price of IEnova common stock.
We discuss share-based compensation plans and related awards further in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
CAPITALIZED FINANCING COSTS
Capitalized financing costs include capitalized interest costs and AFUDC related to both debt and equity financing of construction projects. We capitalize interest costs incurred to finance capital projects and interest on equity method investments that have not commenced planned principal operations.
Interest capitalized and AFUDC are as follows:

Ownership interests that are held by owners other than Sempra Energy and SDG&E in subsidiaries or entities consolidated by them are accounted for and reported as noncontrolling interests. As a result, noncontrolling interests are reported as a separate component of equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Earnings or losses attributable to noncontrolling interests are separately identified on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and comprehensive income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests is separately identified on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Preferred Stock
The preferred stock at SoCalGas is presented at Sempra Energy as a noncontrolling interest. Sempra Energy records charges against income related to noncontrolling interests for preferred stock dividends declared by SoCalGas. We provide additional information regarding preferred stock in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Other Noncontrolling Interests
At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we reported the following noncontrolling ownership interests held by others (not including preferred shareholders) recorded in Other Noncontrolling Interests in Total Equity on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

(1)
Reflects the adoption of ASU 2016-09 as of January 1, 2016, as we discuss in Note 2.

Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas record income taxes for interim periods utilizing a forecasted effective tax rate anticipated for the full year, as required by U.S. GAAP. The income tax effect of items that can be reliably forecasted is factored into the forecasted effective tax rate, and the impact is recognized proportionately over the year. Items that cannot be reliably forecasted (e.g., foreign currency translation and inflation adjustments, remeasurement of deferred tax asset valuation allowances, income tax expense or benefit associated with the gain or loss on sale or impairment of a book investment, resolution of prior years’ income tax items, and certain impacts of regulatory matters) are recorded in the interim period in which they actually occur, which can result in variability in the effective income tax rate.
For SDG&E and SoCalGas, the CPUC requires flow-through rate-making treatment for the current income tax benefit or expense arising from certain property-related and other temporary differences between the treatment for financial reporting and income tax, which will reverse over time. Under the regulatory accounting treatment required for these flow-through temporary differences, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are not recorded to deferred income tax expense, but rather to a regulatory asset or liability, which impacts the current effective income tax rate. As a result, changes in the relative size of these items compared to pretax income, from period to period, can cause variations in the effective income tax rate. The following items are subject to flow-through treatment:
repairs expenditures related to a certain portion of utility plant assets
the equity portion of AFUDC
a portion of the cost of removal of utility plant assets
utility self-developed software expenditures
depreciation on a certain portion of utility plant assets
state income taxes
The AFUDC related to equity recorded for regulated construction projects at Sempra Mexico has similar flow-through treatment.
As we discuss in Note 10 below and in Notes 6 and 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, the 2016 GRC FD issued by the CPUC in June 2016 required SDG&E and SoCalGas to each establish a two-way income tax expense memorandum account to track certain revenue variances resulting from certain differences between the income tax expense forecasted in the GRC and the income tax expense incurred from 2016 through 2018. The tracking accounts will remain open, and the balance in the accounts will be reviewed in subsequent GRC proceedings, until the CPUC decides to close them. We expect that certain amounts recorded in the tracking accounts may give rise to regulatory assets or liabilities.
In the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded $52 million ($34 million after noncontrolling interests) and $149 million ($99 million after noncontrolling interests), respectively, of income tax expense from the transactional effects of foreign currency and inflation as a result of significant appreciation of the Mexican peso. Such effects were partially mitigated by net gains of $32 million ($19 million after-tax) and $97 million ($58 million after-tax), respectively, recorded in Other Income, Net, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, from foreign currency derivatives that are hedging Sempra Mexico parent’s exposure to movements in the Mexican peso from its controlling interest in IEnova.
We provide additional information about our accounting for income taxes in Notes 1 and 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

NOTE 6. DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES
LINES OF CREDIT
At June 30, 2017, Sempra Energy Consolidated had an aggregate of $4.3 billion in three primary committed lines of credit for Sempra Energy, Sempra Global and the California Utilities to provide liquidity and to support commercial paper. The principal terms of these committed lines of credit, which expire in October 2020, are described below and in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. Available unused credit on these lines at June 30, 2017 was approximately $3.1 billion. Our foreign operations have additional general purpose credit facilities aggregating $1.7 billion at June 30, 2017. Available unused credit on these lines totaled $1 billion at June 30, 2017.

(1) The facility also provides for issuance of up to $400 million of letters of credit on behalf of Sempra Energy with the amount of borrowings otherwise available under the facility reduced by the amount of outstanding letters of credit. No letters of credit were outstanding at June 30, 2017.
(2) Sempra Energy guarantees Sempra Global’s obligations under the credit facility.
(3) The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit on behalf of each utility subject to a combined letter of credit commitment of $250 million for both utilities. The amount of borrowings otherwise available under the facility is reduced by the amount of outstanding letters of credit. No letters of credit were outstanding at June 30, 2017.
(4) Because the commercial paper programs are supported by these lines, we reflect the amount of commercial paper outstanding as a reduction to the available unused credit.

Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas must maintain a ratio of indebtedness to total capitalization (as defined in each agreement) of no more than 65 percent at the end of each quarter. Each entity is in compliance with this and all other financial covenants under its respective credit facility at June 30, 2017.

WEIGHTED AVERAGE INTEREST RATES
The weighted average interest rates on total short-term debt at Sempra Energy Consolidated were 1.81 percent and 1.51 percent at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on total short-term debt at SDG&E was 1.15 percent at June 30, 2017. At December 31, 2016, the weighted average interest rate on total short-term debt at SoCalGas was 0.75 percent.
LONG-TERM DEBT
Sempra Energy
In June 2017, Sempra Energy publicly offered and sold $750 million of 3.25-percent, fixed rate notes maturing in 2027. Sempra Energy used the proceeds from the offering to repay outstanding commercial paper.
SDG&E
In June 2017, SDG&E publicly offered and sold $400 million of 3.75-percent, first mortgage bonds maturing in 2047. SDG&E used the proceeds from the offering to repay outstanding commercial paper.
In 2015, SDG&E entered into a CPUC-approved 25-year PPA with a peaker plant facility. Construction of the peaker plant facility was completed and delivery of contracted power commenced in June 2017, at which time we recorded a $500 million capital lease obligation on SDG&E’s and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We discuss commitments related to this capital lease obligation in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Sempra South American Utilities
In February 2017, Luz del Sur publicly offered and sold $50 million of corporate bonds at 6.38 percent, maturing in 2023.
INTEREST RATE SWAPS
We discuss our fair value interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps to hedge cash flows in Note 7.

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We use derivative instruments primarily to manage exposures arising in the normal course of business. Our principal exposures are commodity market risk, benchmark interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate exposures. Our use of derivatives for these risks is integrated into the economic management of our anticipated revenues, anticipated expenses, assets and liabilities. Derivatives may be effective in mitigating these risks (1) that could lead to declines in anticipated revenues or increases in anticipated expenses, or (2) that our asset values may fall or our liabilities increase. Accordingly, our derivative activity summarized below generally represents an impact that is intended to offset associated revenues, expenses, assets or liabilities that are not included in the tables below.
In certain cases, we apply the normal purchase or sale exception to derivative instruments and have other commodity contracts that are not derivatives. These contracts are not recorded at fair value and are therefore excluded from the disclosures below.
In all other cases, we record derivatives at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We designate each derivative as (1) a cash flow hedge, (2) a fair value hedge, or (3) undesignated. Depending on the applicability of hedge accounting and, for the California Utilities and other operations subject to regulatory accounting, the requirement to pass impacts through to customers, the impact of derivative instruments may be offset in other comprehensive income (loss) (cash flow hedge), on the balance sheet (fair value hedges and regulatory offsets), or recognized in earnings. We classify cash flows from the settlements of derivative instruments as operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
HEDGE ACCOUNTING
We may designate a derivative as a cash flow hedging instrument if it effectively converts anticipated cash flows associated with revenues or expenses to a fixed dollar amount. We may utilize cash flow hedge accounting for derivative commodity instruments, foreign currency instruments and interest rate instruments. Designating cash flow hedges is dependent on the business context in which the instrument is being used, the effectiveness of the instrument in offsetting the risk that the future cash flows of a given revenue or expense item may vary, and other criteria.
We may designate an interest rate derivative as a fair value hedging instrument if it effectively converts our own debt from a fixed interest rate to a variable rate. The combination of the derivative and debt instrument results in fixing that portion of the fair value of the debt that is related to benchmark interest rates. Designating fair value hedges is dependent on the instrument being used, the effectiveness of the instrument in offsetting changes in the fair value of our debt instruments, and other criteria.
ENERGY DERIVATIVES
Our market risk is primarily related to natural gas and electricity price volatility and the specific physical locations where we transact. We use energy derivatives to manage these risks. The use of energy derivatives in our various businesses depends on the particular energy market, and the operating and regulatory environments applicable to the business, as follows:
The California Utilities use natural gas and electricity derivatives, for the benefit of customers, with the objective of managing price risk and basis risks, and stabilizing and lowering natural gas and electricity costs. These derivatives include fixed price natural gas and electricity positions, options, and basis risk instruments, which are either exchange-traded or over-the-counter financial instruments, or bilateral physical transactions. This activity is governed by risk management and transacting activity plans that have been filed with and approved by the CPUC. Natural gas and electricity derivative activities are recorded as commodity costs that are offset by regulatory account balances and are recovered in rates. Net commodity cost impacts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are reflected in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power or in Cost of Natural Gas.
SDG&E is allocated and may purchase CRRs, which serve to reduce the regional electricity price volatility risk that may result from local transmission capacity constraints. Unrealized gains and losses do not impact earnings, as they are offset by regulatory account balances. Realized gains and losses associated with CRRs, which are recoverable in rates, are recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Sempra Mexico, Sempra LNG & Midstream, and Sempra Renewables may use natural gas and electricity derivatives, as appropriate, to optimize the earnings of their assets which support the following businesses: LNG, natural gas transportation and storage, and power generation. Gains and losses associated with undesignated derivatives are recognized in Energy-Related Businesses Revenues or in Cost of Natural Gas, Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Certain of these derivatives may also be designated as cash flow hedges. Sempra Mexico may also use natural gas energy derivatives with the objective of managing price risk and lowering natural gas prices at its Mexican distribution

49



operations. These derivatives, which are recorded as commodity costs that are offset by regulatory account balances and recovered in rates, are recognized in Cost of Natural Gas on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
From time to time, our various businesses, including the California Utilities, may use other energy derivatives to hedge exposures such as the price of vehicle fuel.
We summarize net energy derivative volumes at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 as follows:

In addition to the amounts noted above, we frequently use commodity derivatives to manage risks associated with the physical locations of contractual obligations and assets, such as natural gas purchases and sales.
INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES
We are exposed to interest rates primarily as a result of our current and expected use of financing. The California Utilities, as well as other Sempra Energy subsidiaries and joint ventures, periodically enter into interest rate derivative agreements intended to moderate our exposure to interest rates and to lower our overall costs of borrowing. We may utilize interest rate swaps typically designated as fair value hedges, as a means to achieve our targeted level of variable rate debt as a percent of total debt. In addition, we may utilize interest rate swaps, typically designated as cash flow hedges, to lock in interest rates on outstanding debt or in anticipation of future financings. Separately, Otay Mesa VIE has entered into interest rate swap agreements, designated as cash flow hedges, to moderate its exposure to interest rate changes.
At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the net notional amounts of our interest rate derivatives, excluding joint ventures, were:

FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES
We utilize cross-currency swaps to hedge exposure related to Mexican peso-denominated debt at our Mexican subsidiaries and joint ventures. These cash flow hedges exchange our Mexican peso-denominated principal and interest payments into the U.S. dollar and swap Mexican variable interest rates for U.S. fixed interest rates. From time to time, Sempra Mexico and its joint ventures may use other foreign currency derivatives to hedge exposures related to cash flows associated with revenues from contracts denominated in Mexican pesos that are indexed to the U.S. dollar.
We are also exposed to exchange rate movements at our Mexican subsidiaries and joint ventures, which have U.S. dollar-denominated cash balances, receivables, payables and debt (monetary assets and liabilities) that give rise to Mexican currency

50



exchange rate movements for Mexican income tax purposes. They also have deferred income tax assets and liabilities denominated in the Mexican peso, which must be translated to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. In addition, monetary assets and liabilities and certain nonmonetary assets and liabilities are adjusted for Mexican inflation for Mexican income tax purposes. We utilize foreign currency derivatives as a means to manage the risk of exposure to significant fluctuations in our income tax expense and equity earnings from these impacts, however we generally do not hedge our deferred income tax assets and liabilities or inflation.
In addition, Sempra South American Utilities and its joint ventures use foreign currency derivatives to manage foreign currency rate risk. We discuss these derivatives at Chilquinta Energía’s Eletrans joint venture investment in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the net notional amounts of our foreign currency derivatives, excluding joint ventures, were:

There was $2 million of losses from hedge ineffectiveness related to these cash flow hedges in each of the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017 and negligible amounts for the same periods in 2016.
(3)
There was negligible hedge ineffectiveness related to these cash flow hedges in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

For Sempra Energy Consolidated, we expect that net gains of $11 million, which are net of income tax expense, that are currently recorded in AOCI (including $11 million of losses in noncontrolling interests related to Otay Mesa VIE at SDG&E) related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months as the hedged items affect earnings. SoCalGas expects that negligible losses, net of income tax benefit, that are currently recorded in AOCI related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months as the hedged items affect earnings. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified into earnings depend on the interest rates in effect when derivative contracts mature.
For all forecasted transactions, the maximum remaining term over which we are hedging exposure to the variability of cash flows at June 30, 2017 is approximately 15 years and 2 years for Sempra Energy Consolidated and SDG&E, respectively. The maximum remaining term for which we are hedging exposure to the variability of cash flows at our equity method investees is 18 years.

CONTINGENT FEATURES
For Sempra Energy Consolidated and SDG&E, certain of our derivative instruments contain credit limits which vary depending on our credit ratings. Generally, these provisions, if applicable, may reduce our credit limit if a specified credit rating agency reduces our ratings. In certain cases, if our credit ratings were to fall below investment grade, the counterparty to these derivative liability instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full collateralization. 
For Sempra Energy Consolidated, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a net liability position at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is $4 million and $10 million, respectively. At June 30, 2017, if the credit ratings of Sempra Energy were reduced below investment grade, $6 million of additional assets could be required to be posted as collateral for these derivative contracts.
For SDG&E, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a net liability position is $1 million at June 30, 2017 and negligible at December 31, 2016. At June 30, 2017, if the credit ratings of SDG&E were reduced below investment grade, $3 million of additional assets could be required to be posted as collateral for these derivative contracts.
For Sempra Energy Consolidated, SDG&E and SoCalGas, some of our derivative contracts contain a provision that would permit the counterparty, in certain circumstances, to request adequate assurance of our performance under the contracts. Such additional assurance, if needed, is not material and is not included in the amounts above.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We discuss the valuation techniques and inputs we use to measure fair value and the definition of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASURES
The three tables below, by level within the fair value hierarchy, set forth our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. We classify financial assets and liabilities in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities, and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. We have not changed the valuation techniques or types of inputs we use to measure recurring fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
The fair value of commodity derivative assets and liabilities is presented in accordance with our netting policy, as we discuss in Note 7 under “Financial Statement Presentation.”
The determination of fair values, shown in the tables below, incorporates various factors, including but not limited to, the credit standing of the counterparties involved and the impact of credit enhancements (such as cash deposits, letters of credit and priority interests).
Our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 in the tables below include the following:
Nuclear decommissioning trusts reflect the assets of SDG&E’s NDT, excluding cash balances. A third party trustee values the trust assets using prices from a pricing service based on a market approach. We validate these prices by comparison to prices from other independent data sources. Securities are valued using quoted prices listed on nationally recognized securities exchanges or based on closing prices reported in the active market in which the identical security is traded (Level 1). Other securities are valued based on yields that are currently available for comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings (Level 2).
For commodity contracts, interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange instruments, we primarily use a market approach with market participant assumptions to value these derivatives. Market participant assumptions include those about risk, and the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation techniques. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. We have exchange-traded derivatives that are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for the identical instruments (Level 1). We also may have other commodity derivatives that are valued using industry standard models that consider quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, volatility factors, and other relevant economic measures (Level 2). Level 3 recurring items relate to CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions at SDG&E, as we discuss below in “Level 3 Information.”
Rabbi Trust investments include marketable securities that we value using a market approach based on closing prices reported in the active market in which the identical security is traded (Level 1). These investments in marketable securities were negligible at both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 for Sempra Energy Consolidated, SDG&E or SoCalGas during the periods presented.

SDG&E’s Energy and Fuel Procurement department, in conjunction with SDG&E’s finance group, is responsible for determining the appropriate fair value methodologies used to value and classify CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions on an ongoing basis. Inputs used to determine the fair value of CRRs and fixed-price electricity positions are reviewed and compared with market conditions to determine reasonableness. SDG&E expects all costs related to these instruments to be recoverable through customer rates. As such, there is no impact to earnings from changes in the fair value of these instruments.
CRRs are recorded at fair value based almost entirely on the most current auction prices published by the CAISO, an objective source. Annual auction prices are published once a year, typically in the middle of November, and are the basis for valuation for the following year. The impact associated with discounting is negligible. Because these auction prices are a less observable input, these instruments are classified as Level 3. The fair value of these instruments is derived from auction price differences between two locations.

60



For CRRs settling from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017, the auction price inputs ranged from $(12) per MWh to $7 per MWh at a given location, and for CRRs settling from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016, the auction price inputs ranged from $(24) per MWh to $10 per MWh at a given location. Positive values between two locations represent expected future reductions in congestion costs, whereas negative values between two locations represent expected future charges. Valuation of our CRRs is sensitive to a change in auction price. If auction prices at one location increase (decrease) relative to another location, this could result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement. We summarize CRR volumes in Note 7.
Long-term, fixed-price electricity positions that are valued using significant unobservable data are classified as Level 3 because the contract terms relate to a delivery location or tenor for which observable market rate information is not available. The fair value of the net electricity positions classified as Level 3 is derived from a discounted cash flow model using market electricity forward price inputs. These inputs range from $21.35 per MWh to $46.35 per MWh at June 30, 2017. A significant increase or decrease in market electricity forward prices would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value, respectively. We summarize long-term, fixed-price electricity position volumes in Note 7.
Realized gains and losses associated with CRRs and long-term electricity positions, which are included in rates, are recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities and therefore do not affect earnings.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair values of certain of our financial instruments (cash, temporary investments, accounts and notes receivable, short-term amounts due to/from unconsolidated affiliates, dividends and accounts payable, short-term debt and customer deposits) approximate their carrying amounts because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Investments in life insurance contracts that we hold in support of our Supplemental Executive Retirement, Cash Balance Restoration and Deferred Compensation Plans are carried at cash surrender values, which represent the amount of cash that could be realized under the contracts. The following table provides the carrying amounts and fair values of certain other financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

We determine the fair value of certain long-term amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates and long-term debt based on a market approach using quoted market prices for identical or similar securities in thinly-traded markets (Level 2). We value certain other long-term amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates using a perpetuity approach based on the obligation’s fixed interest rate, the absence of a stated maturity date and a discount rate reflecting local borrowing costs (Level 3). We value other long-term debt using an income approach based on the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at rates available for similar securities (Level 3).
We provide the fair values for the securities held in the NDT related to SONGS in Note 9.
NON-RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASURES
TdM
In February 2016, management approved a plan to market and sell Sempra Mexico’s TdM, a natural gas-fired power plant, and classified it as held for sale on the Sempra Energy Consolidated Balance Sheet, as we discuss in Note 3 above and in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. In connection with the sales process, Sempra Mexico received a purchase price offer resulting from negotiations with an active market participant. This new market information indicates that the fair value of TdM was lower than its carrying value at June 30, 2017. As a result, Sempra Mexico further reduced the carrying value of TdM by recognizing a noncash impairment charge of $71 million in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017, recorded in Impairment Losses on Sempra Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The purchase price offer is considered to be a Level 2 input in the fair value hierarchy, as it represents an observable pricing input.

NOTE 9. SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION
We provide below updates to ongoing matters related to SONGS, a nuclear generating facility near San Clemente, California that ceased operations in June 2013, and in which SDG&E has a 20-percent ownership interest. We discuss SONGS further in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
REPLACEMENT STEAM GENERATORS
As part of the Steam Generator Replacement Project, the steam generators were replaced in SONGS Units 2 and 3, and the Units returned to service in 2010 and 2011, respectively. Both Units were shut down in early 2012 after a water leak occurred in the Unit 3 steam generator. Edison, the majority owner and operator of SONGS, concluded that the leak was due to unexpected wear from tube-to-tube contact. At the time the leak was identified, Edison also inspected and tested Unit 2 and subsequently found unexpected tube wear in Unit 2’s steam generator. These issues with the steam generators ultimately resulted in Edison’s decision to permanently retire SONGS in June 2013.
The replacement steam generators were designed and provided by MHI. In July 2013, SDG&E filed a lawsuit against MHI seeking to recover damages SDG&E has incurred and will incur related to the design defects in the steam generators. In October 2013, Edison instituted arbitration proceedings against MHI seeking recovery of damages. The other SONGS co-owners, SDG&E and the City of Riverside, participated as claimants and respondents.
On March 13, 2017, the Tribunal overseeing the arbitration found MHI liable for breach of contract, subject to a contractual limitation of liability, and rejected claimants’ other claims. The Tribunal awarded $118 million in damages to the SONGS co-owners, but determined that MHI was the prevailing party and awarded it 95 percent of its arbitration costs. The damage award is offset by these costs, resulting in a net award of approximately $60 million in favor of the SONGS co-owners. SDG&E’s specific allocation of the damage award is $24 million reduced by costs awarded to MHI of approximately $12 million, resulting in a net damage award of $12 million, which was paid by MHI to SDG&E in March 2017. These amounts include certain adjustments to calculations supporting the Tribunal’s findings. In accordance with the Amended Settlement Agreement discussed below, which may be modified or set aside, SDG&E recorded the proceeds from the MHI arbitration by reducing Operation and Maintenance for previously incurred legal costs of $11 million, and shared the remaining $1 million equally between ratepayers and shareholders.
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT TO RESOLVE THE CPUC’S ORDER INSTITUTING INVESTIGATION INTO THE SONGS OUTAGE
In November 2012, in response to the outage, the CPUC issued the SONGS OII, which was intended to determine the ultimate recovery of the investment in SONGS and the costs incurred since the commencement of this outage.
In November 2014, the CPUC issued a final decision approving an Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement (Amended Settlement Agreement) in the SONGS OII proceeding executed by SDG&E along with Edison, TURN, ORA and two other intervenors. The Amended Settlement Agreement does not affect ongoing or future proceedings before the NRC, or litigation or arbitration related to potential future recoveries from third parties (except for the allocation to ratepayers of any recoveries addressed in the final decision) or proceedings addressing decommissioning activities and costs. We describe the terms and provisions of the Amended Settlement Agreement in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

63



In May 2016, following the filing of petitions for modification by various parties, the CPUC issued a procedural ruling reopening the record of the OII to address the issue of whether the Amended Settlement Agreement is reasonable and in the public interest.
In December 2016, the CPUC issued another procedural ruling directing parties to the SONGS OII to determine whether an agreement could be reached to modify the Amended Settlement Agreement previously approved by the CPUC, to resolve allegations that unreported ex parte communications between Edison and the CPUC resulted in an unfair advantage at the time the settlement agreement was negotiated. Pursuant to the December ruling and a subsequent procedural ruling, the parties have met to confer and, as a result of these discussions, the parties engaged a mediator and held confidential mediation discussions in June, July and continuing into August of 2017. Given the mediation, the parties were granted an extension until August 15, 2017 to file their proposed settlement and/or positions for moving forward with the proceeding. If no agreement is reached, the CPUC will consider other options, including entertaining additional testimony, hearings and briefs.
There is no assurance that the Amended Settlement Agreement will not be renegotiated, modified or set aside as a result of the mediation or the larger OII proceedings, which could result in a substantial reduction in our expected recovery and could have a material adverse effect on Sempra Energy’s and SDG&E’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Accounting and Financial Impacts
Through June 30, 2017, the cumulative after-tax loss from plant closure recorded by Sempra Energy and SDG&E is $125 million. The remaining regulatory asset for the expected recovery of SONGS costs, consistent with the Amended Settlement Agreement, is $166 million ($34 million current and $132 million long-term) at June 30, 2017. The amortization period prescribed for the regulatory asset is 10 years, ending in January 2022.
NUCLEAR DECOMMISSIONING AND FUNDING
As a result of Edison’s decision to permanently retire SONGS Units 2 and 3, Edison began the decommissioning phase of the plant. Decommissioning of Unit 1, removed from service in 1992, is largely complete. The remaining work for Unit 1 will be done once Units 2 and 3 are dismantled. In December 2016, Edison announced that, following a 10-month competitive bid process, it had contracted with a joint venture of AECOM and EnergySolutions (known as SONGS Decommissioning Solutions) as the general contractor to complete the dismantlement of SONGS. The majority of the dismantlement work is expected to take 10 years. SDG&E is responsible for approximately 20 percent of the total contract price.
In accordance with state and federal requirements and regulations, SDG&E has assets held in the NDT to fund its share of decommissioning costs for SONGS Units 1, 2 and 3. The amounts collected in rates for SONGS’ decommissioning are invested in the NDT, which is comprised of externally managed trust funds. Amounts held by the NDT are invested in accordance with CPUC regulations. The NDT assets are presented on the Sempra Energy and SDG&E Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with the offsetting credits recorded in Regulatory Liabilities Arising from Removal Obligations.
In April 2016, the CPUC adopted a decision approving a total decommissioning cost estimate for SONGS Units 2 and 3 of $4.4 billion (in 2014 dollars), of which SDG&E’s share is $899 million. Except for the use of funds for the planning of decommissioning activities or NDT administrative costs, CPUC approval is required for SDG&E to access the NDT assets to fund SONGS decommissioning costs for Units 2 and 3. SDG&E has received authorization from the CPUC to access NDT funds of up to $302 million for 2013 through 2017 (2017 forecasted) SONGS decommissioning costs. This includes up to $84 million authorized by the CPUC in February 2017 to be withdrawn from the NDT for forecasted 2017 SONGS Units 2 and 3 costs as decommissioning costs are incurred.
In December 2016, the IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued proposed regulations that clarify the definition of “nuclear decommissioning costs,” which are costs that may be paid for or reimbursed from a qualified fund. The proposed regulations state that costs related to the construction and maintenance of independent spent fuel management installations are included in the definition of “nuclear decommissioning costs.” The proposed regulations will be effective prospectively once they are finalized; however, the IRS has stated that it will not challenge taxpayer positions consistent with the proposed regulations for taxable years ending on or after the date the proposed regulations were issued. SDG&E is seeking further clarification of the proposed regulations to confirm that the proposed regulations will allow SDG&E to access the NDT funds for reimbursement or payment of the spent fuel management costs that were or will be incurred in 2016 and subsequent years. Further clarification of the proposed regulations could enable SDG&E to access the NDT to recover spent fuel management costs before Edison reaches final settlement with the DOE regarding the DOE’s reimbursement of these costs. Historically, the DOE’s reimbursements of spent fuel storage costs have not resulted in timely or complete recovery of these costs. We discuss the DOE’s responsibility for spent nuclear fuel in Note 11. It is unclear when clarification of the proposed regulations might be provided or when the proposed regulations will be finalized.

Net unrealized gains and losses, as well as realized gains and losses that are reinvested in the NDT, are included in Regulatory Liabilities Arising from Removal Obligations on Sempra Energy’s and SDG&E’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We determine the cost of securities in the trusts on the basis of specific identification. In the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017, sale and purchase activities in our NDT increased significantly compared to the same periods in 2016 as a result of continuing changes to our asset allocations initiated in the fourth quarter of 2016 to reduce our equity volatility, lower our duration risk, and increase exposure to municipal bonds and intermediate credit. This shift in our asset mix is intended to reduce the overall risk profile of the NDT in anticipation of significant cash withdrawals over the next 10 years to fund the SONGS decommissioning.

NOTE 10. REGULATORY MATTERS
We discuss regulatory matters in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, and provide updates to those discussions and information about new matters below.
CALIFORNIA UTILITIES MATTERS
CPUC General Rate Case
The CPUC uses a GRC proceeding to set sufficient rates to allow the California Utilities to recover their reasonable cost of O&M and to provide the opportunity to realize their authorized rates of return on their investment.
In June 2016, the CPUC issued the 2016 GRC FD, the details of which are discussed in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. The 2016 GRC FD was effective retroactive to January 1, 2016. SDG&E and SoCalGas recorded $9 million and $12 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2016 for the retroactive after-tax earnings impact related to the first quarter of 2016.
The 2016 GRC FD required the establishment of two-way income tax expense memorandum accounts to track any revenue variances resulting from certain differences between the income tax expense forecasted in the GRC and the income tax expense incurred by SDG&E and SoCalGas from 2016 through 2018. The variances to be tracked include tax expense differences relating to:
net revenue changes;
mandatory tax law, tax accounting, tax procedural, or tax policy changes; and
elective tax law, tax accounting, tax procedural, or tax policy changes.
Starting in the second quarter of 2016, SoCalGas and SDG&E began recording liabilities associated with tracking the differences in the income tax expense forecasted in the GRC proceedings and the income tax expense incurred. At June 30, 2017, the recorded liability associated with these tracked amounts totaled $41 million and $20 million for SoCalGas and SDG&E, respectively. The tracking accounts will remain open, and the balance in the accounts will be reviewed in subsequent GRC proceedings, until the CPUC decides to close them. As of June 2017, there have been no mandatory or elective tax law, tax accounting, tax procedural, or tax policy changes that could give rise to a regulatory liability and as such, no amount has been tracked related to these items.
SDG&E and SoCalGas are scheduled to file their next GRC applications (the 2019 GRC) in the third quarter of 2017. The applications, among other matters, will seek test year revenue requirements for 2019 and attrition year adjustments for 2020 and 2021. SDG&E and SoCalGas also expect to request a third attrition year adjustment for 2022. In June 2017, SDG&E and SoCalGas filed their first interim accountability reports comparing authorized and actual spending in 2014 and 2015 for certain safety-related activities. Similar data for 2016 will be provided with the 2019 GRC filings. The stated purpose of the interim accountability reports is to provide data and metrics for key safety and risk mitigation areas that will be reviewed in the 2019 GRC.
Risk Assessment Mitigation Phase Report
In December 2014, the CPUC issued a decision incorporating a risk-based decision-making framework into all future GRC application filings for major natural gas and electric utilities in California. The framework is intended to assist in assessing safety risks and the utilities’ plans to help ensure that such risks are adequately addressed. In advance of filing the California Utilities’ 2019 GRC applications, two proceedings occurred: the Safety Model Assessment Proceeding and the RAMP. In the Safety Model Assessment Proceeding, the California Utilities demonstrated the models used to prioritize and mitigate risks in order for the CPUC to establish guidelines and standards for these models.
In November 2016, as part of the new framework, SDG&E and SoCalGas filed their first RAMP report presenting a comprehensive assessment of their key safety risks and proposed activities for mitigating such risks. The report details these key safety risks, which include critical operational issues such as natural gas pipeline safety and wildfire safety, and addresses their classification, scoring, mitigation, alternatives, safety culture, quantitative analysis, data collection and lessons learned. As part of the new framework, funding for any incremental projects or activities is not addressed in the RAMP report and would be subsequently requested in the California Utilities’ upcoming GRC applications.
In March 2017, the CPUC’s Safety and Enforcement Division issued its evaluation report providing generally favorable feedback on the California Utilities’ RAMP report, but recommending more detailed analysis of the risks we presented in the report. The new GRC framework does not require the CPUC to adopt the RAMP report. Certain information from the RAMP report, including certain proposed projects and activities outlined therein, will be incorporated in the SDG&E and SoCalGas 2019 GRC applications to be filed in the third quarter of 2017.

66



CPUC Cost of Capital
On July 13, 2017, the CPUC issued a final decision adopting, with certain modifications, the joint petition filed in February 2017 by SDG&E, SoCalGas, PG&E and Edison, along with ORA and TURN. The final decision provides a two-year extension for each of the utilities to file its next respective cost of capital application, extending the filing date to April 2019 for a 2020 test year. The final decision also reduces the ROE for SDG&E from 10.30 percent to 10.20 percent and for SoCalGas from 10.10 percent to 10.05 percent, effective from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019. SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ ratemaking capital structures will remain at current levels until modified, if at all, by a future cost of capital decision by the CPUC. Also, the utilities will update their cost of capital for actual cost of long-term debt through August 2017 and forecasted cost through 2018, and update preferred stock costs for anticipated issuances (if any) through 2018. The automatic CCM will be in effect to adjust 2019 cost of capital, if necessary. Unless changed by the operation of the CCM, the updated costs of long-term debt and preferred stock (if applicable) and the new ROEs will remain in effect through December 31, 2019.
 
 
 
 
 
NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We accrue losses for a legal proceeding when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. However, the uncertainties inherent in legal proceedings make it difficult to estimate with reasonable certainty the costs and effects of resolving these matters. Accordingly, actual costs incurred may differ materially from amounts accrued, may exceed applicable insurance coverage and could materially adversely affect our business, cash flows, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. Unless otherwise indicated, we are unable to estimate reasonably possible losses in excess of any amounts accrued.
At June 30, 2017, accrued liabilities for legal proceedings, including associated legal fees and costs of litigation, were $10 million for Sempra Energy Consolidated, including $3 million for SDG&E and $5 million for SoCalGas. Amounts for Sempra Energy and SoCalGas include $5 million for matters related to the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility gas leak, which we discuss below.
SDG&E
2007 Wildfire Litigation
SDG&E has resolved all litigation associated with three wildfires that occurred in October 2007, except one appeal that remains pending after judgment in the trial court. SDG&E does not expect additional plaintiffs to file lawsuits given the applicable statutes of limitation, but could receive additional settlement demands and damage estimates from the remaining plaintiff until the case is resolved. SDG&E maintains reserves for the wildfire litigation and makes adjustments to these reserves as information becomes available and amounts are estimable.
SDG&E continues to conclude that it is probable that it will be permitted to recover in rates a substantial portion of the costs incurred to resolve wildfire claims in excess of its liability insurance coverage and the amounts recovered from third parties. Accordingly, at June 30, 2017, Sempra Energy and SDG&E have recorded assets of $350 million in Regulatory Assets (long-term) and Other Regulatory Assets (long-term), respectively, on their Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to CPUC-regulated operations. In September 2015, SDG&E filed an application with the CPUC seeking authority to recover these CPUC-related costs in rates over a six- to ten-year period. The requested amount is the net estimated CPUC-related cost incurred by SDG&E after deductions for insurance reimbursement and third party settlement recoveries, and reflects a voluntary 10-percent shareholder contribution applied to the net Wildfire Expense Memorandum Account balance. In April 2016, the CPUC issued a ruling establishing the scope and schedule for the proceeding, which will be managed in two phases. Phase 1 addresses SDG&E’s operational and management prudence surrounding the 2007 wildfires. We expect a Phase 1 draft decision from the CPUC in the second half of 2017. Phase 2 will address whether SDG&E’s actions and decision-making in connection with settling legal claims in relation to the wildfires were reasonable, with a final CPUC decision expected by early 2019.
Should SDG&E conclude that recovery in rates is no longer probable, SDG&E will record a charge against earnings at the time such conclusion is reached. If SDG&E had concluded that the recovery of regulatory assets related to CPUC-regulated operations was no longer probable or was less than currently estimated at June 30, 2017, the resulting after-tax charge against earnings would have been up to approximately $207 million. A failure to obtain substantial or full recovery of these costs from customers, or any negative assessment of the likelihood of recovery, would likely have a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra Energy’s results of operations and cash flows.

67



We discuss how we assess the probability of recovery of our regulatory assets in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Concluded Matter
SDG&E participated as a claimant and respondent in an arbitration proceeding initiated by Edison in October 2013 against MHI seeking damages stemming from the failure of the MHI replacement steam generators at the SONGS nuclear power plant. In March 2017, the Tribunal found MHI liable for breach of contract, subject to a contractual limitation of liability, but determined that MHI was the prevailing party and awarded it 95 percent of its arbitration costs. We discuss this arbitration and decision further in Note 9.
SoCalGas
Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak
On October 23, 2015, SoCalGas discovered a leak at one of its injection-and-withdrawal wells, SS25, at its Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, located in the northern part of the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles County. The Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility has been operated by SoCalGas since 1972. SS25 is one of more than 100 injection-and-withdrawal wells at the storage facility.
Stopping the Leak, and Local Community Mitigation Efforts. SoCalGas worked closely with several of the world’s leading experts to stop the leak, and on February 18, 2016, DOGGR confirmed that the well was permanently sealed.
Pursuant to a stipulation and order by the Los Angeles County Superior Court, SoCalGas provided temporary relocation support to residents in the nearby community who requested it before the well was permanently sealed. Following the permanent sealing of the well, the DPH conducted indoor testing of certain homes in the Porter Ranch community, and concluded that indoor conditions did not present a long-term health risk and that it was safe for residents to return home. In May 2016, the Los Angeles County Superior Court ordered SoCalGas to offer to clean residents’ homes at SoCalGas’ expense as a condition to ending the relocation program. SoCalGas completed the residential cleaning program and the relocation program ended in July 2016.
Apart from the Los Angeles County Superior Court order, in May 2016, the DPH also issued a directive that SoCalGas professionally clean (in accordance with the proposed protocol prepared by the DPH) the homes of all residents located within the Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council boundary, or who participated in the relocation program, or who are located within a five-mile radius of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and have experienced symptoms from the natural gas leak (the Directive). SoCalGas disputes the Directive, contending that it is invalid and unenforceable, and has filed a petition for writ of mandate to set it aside.
The total costs incurred to remediate and stop the leak and to mitigate local community impacts are significant and may increase, and we may be subject to potentially significant damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, costs or other penalties. To the extent any of these costs are not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), or if there were to be significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, such costs could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Cost Estimates and Accounting Impact. As of June 30, 2017, SoCalGas recorded estimated costs of $832 million related to the leak. Of this amount, approximately two-thirds is for the temporary relocation program (including cleaning costs and certain labor costs). Other estimated costs include amounts for efforts to control the well, stop the leak, stop or reduce the emissions, and the estimated cost of the root cause analysis being conducted by an independent third party to investigate the cause of the leak. The remaining portion of the $832 million includes legal costs incurred to defend litigation, the value of lost gas, the costs to mitigate the actual natural gas released, and other costs. As the value of lost gas reflects the current replacement cost, the value may fluctuate until such time as replacement gas is purchased and injected into storage. SoCalGas adjusts its estimated total liability associated with the leak as additional information becomes available. The $832 million represents management’s best estimate of these costs related to the leak. Of these costs, a substantial portion has been paid and $63 million is accrued as Reserve for Aliso Canyon Costs as of June 30, 2017 on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for amounts expected to be paid after June 30, 2017.
As of June 30, 2017, we recorded the expected recovery of the costs described in the immediately preceding paragraph related to the leak of $554 million as Insurance Receivable for Aliso Canyon Costs on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount is net of insurance retentions and $273 million of insurance proceeds we received through June 30, 2017 related to control-of-well expenses and temporary relocation costs. If we were to conclude that this receivable or a portion of it was no longer probable of recovery from insurers, some or all of this receivable would be charged against earnings, which could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
The above amounts do not include any unsettled damage claims, restitution, or civil, administrative or criminal fines, costs or other penalties that may be imposed in connection with the incident or our responses thereto, as it is not possible to predict the outcome of any civil or criminal proceeding or any administrative action in which such damage awards, restitution or civil, administrative or criminal fines, costs or other penalties could be imposed, and any such amounts, if awarded or imposed or otherwise paid, cannot be

68



reasonably estimated at this time. In addition, the recorded amounts above do not include the costs to clean additional homes pursuant to the Directive, future legal costs necessary to defend litigation, and other potential costs that we currently do not anticipate incurring or that we cannot reasonably estimate.
In March 2016, the CPUC ordered SoCalGas to establish a memorandum account to prospectively track its authorized revenue requirement and all revenues that it receives for its normal, business-as-usual costs to own and operate the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and, in September 2016, approved SoCalGas’ request to begin tracking these revenues as of March 17, 2016. The CPUC will determine at a later time whether, and to what extent, the authorized revenues tracked in the memorandum account may be refunded to ratepayers.
Insurance. Excluding directors and officers liability insurance, we have four kinds of insurance policies that together provide between $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion in insurance coverage, depending on the nature of the claims. We cannot predict all of the potential categories of costs or the total amount of costs that we may incur as a result of the leak. Subject to various policy limits, exclusions and conditions, based on what we know as of the filing date of this report, we believe that our insurance policies collectively should cover the following categories of costs: costs incurred for temporary relocation (including cleaning costs and certain labor costs), costs to address the leak and stop or reduce emissions, the root cause analysis being conducted to investigate the cause of the leak, the value of lost natural gas, costs incurred to mitigate the actual natural gas released, costs associated with litigation and claims by nearby residents and businesses, any costs to clean additional homes pursuant to the Directive, and, in some circumstances depending on their nature and manner of assessment, fines and penalties. We have been communicating with our insurance carriers and, as discussed above, we have received insurance payments for a portion of control-of-well expenses and a portion of temporary relocation costs. We intend to pursue the full extent of our insurance coverage for the costs we have incurred or may incur. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining insurance coverage for these costs under the applicable policies, and to the extent we are not successful in obtaining coverage or these costs exceed the amount of our coverage, such costs could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Our recorded estimate as of June 30, 2017 of $832 million of certain costs in connection with the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility leak may rise significantly as more information becomes available, and any costs not included in our estimate could be material. To the extent not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), or if there were to be significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, such costs could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Governmental Investigations and Civil and Criminal Litigation. Various governmental agencies, including DOGGR, DPH, SCAQMD, CARB, Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, CPUC, PHMSA, EPA, Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office and California Attorney General’s Office, have investigated or are investigating this incident. Other federal agencies (e.g., the DOE and the U.S. Department of the Interior) investigated the incident as part of the joint interagency task force discussed below. In January 2016, DOGGR and the CPUC selected Blade to conduct an independent analysis under their supervision and to be funded by SoCalGas to investigate the technical root cause of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility gas leak. The timing of the root cause analysis is under the control of Blade, DOGGR and the CPUC.
As of August 3, 2017, 281 lawsuits, including over 25,500 plaintiffs, are pending in the Los Angeles County Superior Court against SoCalGas, some of which have also named Sempra Energy. These various lawsuits assert causes of action for negligence, negligence per se, strict liability, property damage, fraud, public and private nuisance (continuing and permanent), trespass, inverse condemnation, fraudulent concealment, unfair business practices and loss of consortium, among other things, and additional litigation may be filed against us in the future related to this incident. A complaint alleging violations of Proposition 65 was also filed. These complaints seek compensatory and punitive damages, civil penalties, injunctive relief, costs of future medical monitoring and attorneys’ fees, and several seek class action status. All of these cases, other than a matter brought by the Los Angeles County District Attorney, the federal securities class action and one of the shareholder derivative actions discussed below, are coordinated before a single court in the Los Angeles County Superior Court for pretrial management.
In addition to the lawsuits described above, a federal securities class action alleging violation of the federal securities laws has been filed against Sempra Energy and certain of its officers and certain of its directors in the SDCA, and six shareholder derivative actions alleging breach of fiduciary duties against certain officers and certain directors of Sempra Energy and/or SoCalGas are pending, one in the SDCA and five in the coordination proceeding in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. In March 2017, the SDCA dismissed the shareholder derivative action pending in that court, ruling that the plaintiff did not have standing to pursue the alleged claims; the plaintiff did not seek to amend his complaint to cure its deficiencies. In June 2017, the SDCA dismissed the federal securities class action on the grounds the plaintiff failed to plead sufficient facts to establish a claim for securities fraud. In July 2017, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, again alleging violation of the federal securities laws.
Pursuant to the coordination proceeding in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, in March 2017, the individuals and business entities asserting tort and Proposition 65 claims filed a Second Amended Consolidated Master Case Complaint for Individual Actions, through which their separate lawsuits will be managed for pretrial purposes. The consolidated complaint asserts causes of action for

69



negligence, negligence per se, private and public nuisance (continuing and permanent), trespass, inverse condemnation, strict liability, negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraudulent concealment, loss of consortium and violations of Proposition 65 against SoCalGas, with certain causes also naming Sempra Energy. The consolidated complaint seeks compensatory and punitive damages for personal injuries, lost wages and/or lost profits, property damage and diminution in property value, injunctive relief, costs of future medical monitoring, civil penalties (including penalties associated with Proposition 65 claims alleging violation of requirements for warning about certain chemical exposures), and attorneys’ fees.
In January 2017, pursuant to the coordination proceeding, two consolidated class action complaints were filed against SoCalGas and Sempra Energy, one on behalf of a putative class of persons and businesses who own or lease real property within a five-mile radius of the well (the Property Class Action), and a second on behalf of a putative class of all persons and entities conducting business within five miles of the facility (the Business Class Action). Both complaints assert claims for strict liability for ultra-hazardous activities, negligence and violation of California Unfair Competition Law. The Property Class Action also asserts claims for negligence per se, trespass, permanent and continuing public and private nuisance, and inverse condemnation. The Business Class Action also asserts a claim for negligent interference with prospective economic advantage. Both complaints seek compensatory, statutory and punitive damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees.
Three actions filed by public entities are pending, as follows. These lawsuits are also included in the coordination proceeding in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. First, in July 2016, the County of Los Angeles, on behalf of itself and the people of the State of California, filed a complaint against SoCalGas in the Los Angeles County Superior Court for public nuisance, unfair competition, breach of franchise agreement, breach of lease, and damages. This suit alleges that the four natural gas storage fields operated by SoCalGas in Los Angeles County require safety upgrades, including the installation of a sub-surface safety shut-off valve on every well. It additionally alleges that SoCalGas failed to comply with the DPH Directive. It seeks preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, civil penalties, and damages for the County’s costs to respond to the leak, as well as punitive damages and attorneys’ fees.
Second, in August 2016, the California Attorney General, acting in an independent capacity and on behalf of the people of the State of California and the CARB, together with the Los Angeles City Attorney, filed a third amended complaint on behalf of the people of the State of California against SoCalGas alleging public nuisance, violation of the California Unfair Competition Law, violations of California Health and Safety Code sections 41700, prohibiting discharge of air contaminants that cause annoyance to the public, and 25510, requiring reporting of the release of hazardous material, as well as California Government Code section 12607 for equitable relief for the protection of natural resources. The complaint seeks an order for injunctive relief, to abate the public nuisance, and to impose civil penalties.
Third, in March 2017, the County of Los Angeles filed a petition for writ of mandate against DOGGR and its State Oil and Gas Supervisor, as to which SoCalGas is the real party in interest. In July 2017, the County amended the petition to add the CPUC and its Executive Director. The petition alleges that in issuing its July 19, 2017 determination that the requirements for the resumption of injection operations have been met, discussed under “ Natural Gas Storage Operations and Reliability” below, DOGGR failed to comply with the provisions of SB 380, which requires a comprehensive safety review of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility before injection of natural gas may resume. The County alleges, among other things, that DOGGR failed to comply with the provisions of SB 380 in declaring the safety review complete and authorizing the resumption of injection of natural gas into the facility before the root cause analysis was complete, failing to make its safety-review documents available to the public and failing to address seismic risks to the field as part of its safety review. The County further alleges that CEQA requires DOGGR to perform an Environmental Impact Review before the resumption of injection of natural gas at the facility may be approved. The petition seeks a writ of mandate requiring DOGGR and the State Oil and Gas Supervisor to comply with SB 380 and CEQA, and to produce records in response to the County’s Public Records Act request; as well as, declaratory and injunctive relief against any authorization to inject natural gas and attorneys’ fees. On July 24, 2017, the County filed an application for an immediate stay of DOGGR’s order, a temporary restraining order and order to show cause why a preliminary injunction should not be issued to stop the reopening of the facility. On July 28, 2017, the Superior Court denied the application on the ground that, pursuant to Public Utilities Code sections 714 and 1759(a), the CPUC has jurisdiction over regulating injections at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, and the Court therefore lacks jurisdiction to rule on the County’s application. On July 31, 2017, the County filed a petition for writ of mandate, prohibition, stay or other appropriate relief and a request for immediate stay in the Court of Appeal, seeking review of the Superior Court’s order denying the County’s application for a temporary restraining order. Later the same day, the Court of Appeal denied the County’s request for an immediate stay on injections.
A complaint filed by the SCAQMD against SoCalGas seeking civil penalties for alleged violations of several nuisance-related statutory provisions arising from the leak and delays in stopping the leak was settled in February 2017, pursuant to which SoCalGas paid $8.5 million, of which $1 million is to be used to pay for a health study. The SCAQMD’s complaint was dismissed in February 2017.
Separately, in February 2016, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed a misdemeanor criminal complaint against SoCalGas seeking penalties and other remedies for alleged failure to provide timely notice of the leak pursuant to California Health and Safety Code section 25510(a), Los Angeles County Code section 12.56.030, and Title 19 California Code of Regulations section

70



2703(a), and for allegedly violating California Health and Safety Code section 41700 prohibiting discharge of air contaminants that cause annoyance to the public. In September 2016, SoCalGas entered into a settlement agreement with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office in which it agreed to plead no contest to the notice charge under Health and Safety Code section 25510(a) and agreed to pay the maximum fine of $75,000, penalty assessments of approximately $233,500, and operational commitments estimated to cost approximately $5 million, reimbursement and assessments in exchange for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office moving to dismiss the remaining counts at sentencing and settling the complaint (collectively referred to as the District Attorney Settlement). In November 2016, SoCalGas completed the commitments and obligations under the District Attorney Settlement, and on November 29, 2016, the Court approved the settlement and entered judgment on the notice charge. Certain individuals residing near the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility who objected to the settlement have filed a notice of appeal of the judgment, as well as a petition asking the Los Angeles County Superior Court to set aside the November 29, 2016 order and grant them restitution. The Los Angeles County Superior Court dismissed the petition in January 2017, ruling that the petitioners have a remedy at law via their direct appeal.
The costs of defending against these civil and criminal lawsuits, cooperating with these investigations, and any damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, costs and other penalties, if awarded or imposed, as well as the costs of mitigating the actual natural gas released, could be significant and to the extent not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), or if there were to be significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, such costs could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Regulatory Proceedings. In February 2017, the CPUC opened a proceeding pursuant to SB 380 to determine the feasibility of minimizing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, while still maintaining energy and electric reliability for the region. The proceeding will be conducted in two phases, with Phase 1 undertaking a comprehensive effort to develop the appropriate analyses and scenarios to evaluate the impact of reducing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and Phase 2 evaluating the impacts of reducing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility using the scenarios and models adopted in Phase 1. In accordance with the Phase 1 schedule, public participation hearings began in April 2017, and workshops and additional public participation hearings are expected to occur later in 2017.
The order establishing the scope of the proceeding expressly excludes issues with respect to air quality, public health, causation, culpability or cost responsibility regarding the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility gas leak.
Section 455.5 of the California Public Utilities Code, among other things, directs regulated utilities to notify the CPUC if all or any portion of a major facility has been out of service for nine consecutive months. Although SoCalGas does not believe the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility or any portion of that facility has been out of service for nine consecutive months, SoCalGas provided notification in an abundance of caution to demonstrate commitment to regulatory compliance and transparency, and because the process for obtaining authorization to resume injection operations at the facility required longer to complete than initially contemplated. In response, and as required by section 455.5, the CPUC issued an OII to address whether the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility or any portion of that facility has been out of service for nine consecutive months pursuant to section 455.5, and if it is determined to have been out of service, whether the CPUC should adjust SoCalGas’ rates to reflect the period the facility is deemed to have been out of service. As required under section 455.5, if hearings on the investigation are necessary, they will be consolidated with SoCalGas’ next GRC proceeding. In the event that the CPUC determines that all or any portion of the facility has been out of service for nine consecutive months, the amount of any refund to ratepayers and the inability to earn a return on those assets could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Governmental Orders and Additional Regulation. In January 2016, the Governor of the State of California issued an Order (the Governor’s Order) proclaiming a state of emergency to exist in Los Angeles County due to the natural gas leak at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility. The Governor’s Order imposes various orders with respect to: stopping the leak; protecting public health and safety; ensuring accountability; and strengthening oversight. Most of the directives in the Governor’s Order have been fulfilled, with the following remaining open items: (1) applicable agencies must convene an independent panel of scientific and medical experts to review public health concerns stemming from the natural gas leak and evaluate whether additional measures are needed to protect public health; (2) the CPUC must ensure that SoCalGas covers costs related to the natural gas leak and its response, while protecting ratepayers, and CARB was ordered to develop a program to fully mitigate the leak’s emissions of methane by March 31, 2016, with such program to be funded by SoCalGas; and (3) DOGGR, CPUC, CARB and the CEC must submit to the Governor’s Office a report that assesses the long-term viability of natural gas storage facilities in California.
In December 2015, SoCalGas made a commitment to mitigate the actual natural gas released from the leak and has been working on a plan to accomplish the mitigation. In March 2016, pursuant to the Governor’s Order, the CARB issued its Aliso Canyon Methane Leak Climate Impacts Mitigation Program, which sets forth its recommended approach to achieve full mitigation of the emissions from the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility gas leak. The CARB program requires that reductions in short-lived climate pollutants and other greenhouse gases be at least equivalent to the amount of the emissions from the leak, and that the global warming potential to be

71



used in deriving the amount of reductions required is based on a 20-year term (rather than the 100-year term the CARB and other state and federal agencies use in regulating emissions), resulting in a target of approximately 9,000,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. CARB’s program also provides that all of the mitigation is to occur in California over the next five to ten years without the use of allowances or offsets. In October 2016, CARB issued its final report concluding that the incident resulted in total emissions from 90,350 to 108,950 metric tons of methane, and asserting that SoCalGas should mitigate 109,000 metric tons of methane to fully mitigate the greenhouse gas impacts of the leak. We have not agreed with CARB’s estimate of methane released and continue to work with CARB on developing a mitigation plan.
In January 2016, the Hearing Board of the SCAQMD ordered SoCalGas to take various actions in connection with injecting and withdrawing natural gas at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, sealing the well, monitoring, reporting, safety and funding a health impact study, among other things (the Abatement Order). SoCalGas fulfilled its obligations under the Abatement Order to the satisfaction of the SCAQMD and its Hearing Board, except for the condition that SoCalGas agree to fund the reasonable costs of a study of the health impacts of the leak. Pursuant to the settlement agreement between the SCAQMD and SoCalGas described above, the SCAQMD agreed that the health study condition was satisfied and, in March 2017, the Hearing Board terminated the Abatement Order.
PHMSA, DOGGR, SCAQMD, EPA and CARB have each commenced separate rulemaking proceedings to adopt further regulations covering natural gas storage facilities and injection wells. DOGGR issued new regulations following the Governor’s Order as described above, and in 2016, the California Legislature enacted four separate bills providing for additional regulation of natural gas storage facilities. Additional hearings in the California Legislature, as well as with various other federal and state regulatory agencies, have been or may be scheduled, additional legislation has been proposed in the California Legislature, and additional laws, orders, rules and regulations may be adopted. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has formed a task force to review and potentially implement new, more stringent land use (zoning) requirements and associated regulations and enforcement protocols for oil and gas activities, including natural gas storage field operations, which could materially affect new or modified uses of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and other natural gas storage fields located in Los Angeles County.
Higher operating costs and additional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas as a result of new laws, orders, rules and regulations arising out of this incident or our responses thereto could be significant and may not be recoverable in customer rates, and such new laws, orders, rules and regulations could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operation.
Natural Gas Storage Operations and Reliability. Natural gas withdrawn from storage is important for service reliability during peak demand periods, including peak electric generation needs in the summer and heating needs in the winter. The Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, with a storage capacity of 86 Bcf (which represents 63 percent of SoCalGas’ natural gas storage inventory capacity), is the largest SoCalGas storage facility and an important element of SoCalGas’ delivery system. SoCalGas calculated that approximately 4.62 Bcf of natural gas was released from the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility as a result of the leak. SoCalGas did not inject natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility after October 25, 2015, pursuant to orders by DOGGR and the Governor, and in accordance with SB 380. Limited withdrawals of natural gas from the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility have been made in 2017 to augment natural gas supplies during critical demand periods.
The process to begin limited injection operations at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility was initiated in November 2016, when SoCalGas submitted a request to DOGGR seeking authorization to resume injection operations at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility. In accordance with SB 380, DOGGR held public meetings in the affected community to provide the public an opportunity to comment on the safety review findings (the comment period has expired). Also, in April and June of 2017, SoCalGas advised the CAISO, CEC, CPUC and PHMSA of its concerns that the inability to inject natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility poses a risk to energy reliability in Southern California.
On July 19, 2017, DOGGR issued its determination that the requirements of SB 380 for the resumption of injection operations, including all safety requirements, have been met. On the same date, the CPUC’s Executive Director issued his concurrence with that determination, and DOGGR issued its Order to: Test and Take Temporary Actions Upon Resuming Injection: Aliso Canyon Gas Storage Facility. The order lifted the prohibition on injection at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, subject to its requirements that SoCalGas conduct and report results of a leak survey and measurement of total site methane emissions before resuming injection operations, as well as other requirements after injection resumes. The CPUC additionally issued a directive to SoCalGas to maintain a range of working gas in the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility at a target of 23.6 Bcf (approximately 28 percent of its maximum capacity), and at all times above 14.8 Bcf. DOGGR’s findings require SoCalGas to continue to operate the facility under restrictions that limit the rate at which it is able to withdraw natural gas from the field. The County of Los Angeles has filed a petition for writ of mandate seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and stay of DOGGR’s order lifting the prohibition against injecting natural gas at the facility. On July 28, 2017, the Superior Court denied the County’s application for a temporary restraining order to block DOGGR’s order on the ground that, pursuant to Public Utilities Code sections 714 and 1759(a), the CPUC has jurisdiction over regulating injections at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, and the Court therefore lacks jurisdiction to rule on the County’s application. On July 31, 2017, the County filed a petition for a writ of mandate, prohibition, stay or other appropriate relief and a request for immediate stay in the Court of Appeal, seeking review of the Superior Court’s order denying the County’s applica

72



tion for a temporary restraining order. Later the same day, the Court of Appeal denied the County’s request for an immediate stay on injections. We provide further detail regarding the County of Los Angeles’ suit above in “Governmental Investigations and Civil and Criminal Litigation.” Also on July 19, 2017, the CEC released a letter to the CPUC indicating that its staff is prepared to work with the CPUC and other agencies on a plan to phase out the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility within ten years. The CEC and other stakeholders will be providing input into the SB 380 proceeding underway at the CPUC that addresses the future of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility. Having completed the steps outlined by state agencies in order to safely begin injections at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, as of July 31, 2017, SoCalGas resumed limited injections.
If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were determined to be out of service for any meaningful period of time or permanently closed, or if future cash flows were otherwise insufficient to recover its carrying value, it could result in an impairment of the facility and significantly higher than expected operating costs and/or additional capital expenditures, and natural gas reliability and electric generation could be jeopardized. At June 30, 2017, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility has a net book value of $582 million, including $237 million of construction work in progress for the project to construct a new compression station. Any significant impairment of this asset could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s results of operations for the period in which it is recorded. Higher operating costs and additional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas may not be recoverable in customer rates, and could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Sempra Mexico
Property Disputes and Permit Challenges
Sempra Mexico has been engaged in a long-running land dispute relating to property adjacent to its Energía Costa Azul LNG terminal near Ensenada, Mexico. A claimant to the adjacent property filed complaints in the federal Agrarian Court challenging the refusal of the SEDATU in 2006 to issue a title to him for the disputed property. In November 2013, the federal Agrarian Court ordered that SEDATU issue the requested title and cause it to be registered. Both SEDATU and Sempra Mexico challenged the ruling, due to lack of notification of the underlying process. Both challenges are pending to be resolved by a Federal Court in Mexico. Sempra Mexico expects additional proceedings regarding the claims.
The property claimant also filed a lawsuit in July 2010 against Sempra Energy in Federal District Court in San Diego seeking compensatory and punitive damages as well as the earnings from the Energía Costa Azul LNG terminal based on his allegations that he was wrongfully evicted from the adjacent property and that he has been harmed by other allegedly improper actions. In September 2015, the Court granted Sempra Energy’s motion for summary judgment and closed the case. The claimant appealed the summary judgment and an earlier order dismissing certain of his causes of action. In July 2017, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal issued a ruling affirming the summary judgment and dismissal of his other causes of action, except one alleging theft of personal property in connection with the alleged eviction.
Additionally, several administrative challenges are pending in Mexico before the Mexican environmental protection agency and the Federal Tax and Administrative Courts seeking revocation of the environmental impact authorization issued to Energía Costa Azul in 2003. These cases generally allege that the conditions and mitigation measures in the environmental impact authorization are inadequate and challenge findings that the activities of the terminal are consistent with regional development guidelines.
Two real property cases have been filed against Energía Costa Azul. In one, the plaintiffs seek to annul the recorded property title for a parcel on which the Energía Costa Azul LNG terminal is situated and to obtain possession of a different parcel that allegedly sits in the same place. A second complaint was served in April 2013 seeking to invalidate the contract by which Energía Costa Azul purchased another of the terminal parcels, on the grounds the purchase price was unfair. In January 2016, the second complaint was dismissed by the Federal Agrarian Court. Sempra Mexico expects further proceedings on these two matters.
In 2015, the Yaqui tribe, with the exception of some members living in the Bácum community, granted its consent and a right-of-way easement agreement for the construction of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of IEnova’s Sonora natural gas pipeline that crosses its territory. Representatives of the Bácum community filed an amparo in Mexican Federal Court demanding the right to withhold consent for the project, the stoppage of work in the Yaqui territory and damages. The judge granted a suspension order that prohibited the construction through the Bácum community territory. Because the pipeline does not pass through the Bácum community, IEnova does not believe the order prohibited construction in the remainder of the Yaqui territory. As a result of the dispute, however, IEnova was delayed in the construction of the approximately 14 kilometers of pipeline that pass through territory of the Yaqui tribe. The CFE agreed to extend the deadline for commercial operations until the second quarter of 2017. Construction of the pipeline is complete, and commercial operations began in May 2017. The amparo remains pending.
In December 2012, Backcountry Against Dumps, Donna Tisdale and the Protect Our Communities Foundation filed a complaint in the SDCA seeking to invalidate the presidential permit issued by the DOE for Energía Sierra Juárez’s cross-border generation tie line

73



connecting the Energía Sierra Juárez wind project in Mexico to the electric grid in the United States. The suit alleged violations of the NEPA, the Endangered Species Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Plaintiffs filed a motion for summary judgment, which the court largely denied in September 2015. One NEPA claim, however, was not resolved – whether the Environmental Impact Statement’s assessment of alleged extraterritorial impacts of the generation tie line in the United States on the environment in Mexico was inadequate (the “extraterritorial impact issue”) – and was the subject of additional briefing in 2016. On January 30, 2017, the Court issued a ruling on the extraterritorial impact issue and, contrary to its prior ruling, ruled that the Environmental Impact Statement was deficient for not considering the effects in Mexico of both the U.S. and Mexican portion of the generation tie line and the wind farm itself. The Court has not yet made a decision on the ultimate remedy, and a final judgment has not been entered.
Other Litigation
Sempra Energy holds a noncontrolling interest in RBS Sempra Commodities, a limited liability partnership in the process of being liquidated. RBS, our partner in the joint venture, paid an £86 million assessment in October 2014 to HMRC for denied VAT refund claims filed in connection with the purchase of carbon credit allowances by RBS SEE, a subsidiary of RBS Sempra Commodities. RBS SEE has since been sold to JP Morgan and later to Mercuria Energy Group, Ltd. HMRC asserted that RBS was not entitled to reduce its VAT liability by VAT paid on certain carbon credit purchases during 2009 because RBS knew or should have known that certain vendors in the trading chain did not remit their own VAT to HMRC. After paying the assessment, RBS filed a Notice of Appeal of the assessment with the First-Tier Tribunal. The First-Tier Tribunal held a preliminary hearing in September 2016 to determine whether HMRC’s assessment was time-barred. In January 2017, the First-Tier Tribunal issued a decision in favor of HMRC concluding that the assessment was not time-barred. RBS has decided not to appeal the First-Tier Tribunal’s decision to the Upper Tribunal. There will be a hearing on the substantive matter regarding whether RBS knew or should have known that certain vendors in the trading chain did not remit their VAT to HMRC.
During 2015, liquidators, acting on behalf of ten companies (the Companies) that engaged in carbon credit trading via chains that included a company that RBS SEE traded with directly, filed a claim in the High Court of Justice asserting damages of £160 million against RBS and Mercuria Energy Europe Trading Limited (the Defendants). The claim alleges that the Defendants’ participation in the purchase and sale of carbon credits resulted in the Companies’ carbon credit trading transactions creating a VAT liability they were unable to pay. Trial of the matter has been set for the summer of 2018. JP Morgan has notified us that Mercuria Energy Group, Ltd. has sought indemnity for the claim, and JP Morgan has in turn sought indemnity from us and RBS.
Our remaining investment in RBS Sempra Commodities of $67 million at June 30, 2017 is accounted for under the equity method and reflects remaining distributions expected to be received from the partnership as it is liquidated. The timing and amount of distributions may be impacted by these matters.
We are also defendants in ordinary routine litigation incidental to our businesses, including personal injury, employment litigation, product liability, property damage and other claims. Juries have demonstrated an increasing willingness to grant large awards, including punitive damages, in these types of cases.
CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS
We discuss below significant changes in the first six months of 2017 to contractual commitments discussed in Notes 1 and 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Natural Gas Contracts
Sempra LNG & Midstream’s natural gas purchase and transportation commitments have decreased by $130 million since December 31, 2016, primarily due to payments on existing contracts and changes in forward natural gas prices in the first six months of 2017. Net future payments are expected to decrease by $133 million in 2017 and increase by $2 million in 2018 and $1 million thereafter compared to December 31, 2016.
In May 2016, Sempra LNG & Midstream permanently released certain pipeline capacity that it held with Rockies Express and others, which we discuss in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. In May 2017, Sempra LNG & Midstream received settlement proceeds of $57 million from a breach of contract claim against a counterparty in bankruptcy court. Of the total proceeds, $47 million related to the charge we recorded in 2016 resulting from the permanent release of certain pipeline capacity. Sempra LNG & Midstream recorded the settlement proceeds as a reduction to Other Cost of Sales on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the second quarter of 2017.
LNG Purchase Agreement
Sempra LNG & Midstream has a purchase agreement for the supply of LNG to the Energía Costa Azul terminal. The commitment amount is calculated using a predetermined formula based on estimated forward prices of the index applicable from 2017 to 2029. At

74



June 30, 2017, the commitment amount is expected to decrease by $321 million in 2017, $42 million in 2018, $20 million in 2019, $21 million in 2020, $24 million in 2021 and $432 million thereafter (through contract termination in 2029) compared to December 31, 2016, reflecting changes in estimated forward prices since December 31, 2016 and actual transactions for the first six months of 2017. These LNG commitment amounts are based on the assumption that all cargoes, less those already confirmed to be diverted, under the agreement are delivered. Although this agreement specifies a number of cargoes to be delivered, under its terms, the customer may divert certain cargoes, which would reduce amounts paid under the agreement by Sempra LNG & Midstream. Actual LNG purchases in the current and prior years have been significantly lower than the maximum amount provided under the agreement due to the customer electing to divert cargoes as allowed by the agreement.
Capital Leases Power Purchase Agreements
In 2015, SDG&E entered into a CPUC-approved 25-year PPA with a peaker power plant facility. Construction of the peaker power plant facility was completed and delivery of contracted power commenced in June 2017, at which time we recorded a $500 million capital lease obligation on SDG&E’s and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We discuss commitments related to this capital lease obligation in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
In the first quarter of 2017, SDG&E satisfied all of the conditions precedent for a CPUC-approved 20-year PPA with a 500-MW power plant facility that is under construction. Beginning with the initial delivery of the contracted power, scheduled in 2018, the PPA will be accounted for as a capital lease. Future minimum lease payments under the new PPA are as follows:

Amount necessary to reduce net minimum lease payments to estimated present value at the inception of the lease.

The entities that own the peaker plant facilities are VIEs of which SDG&E is not the primary beneficiary. SDG&E does not have any additional implicit or explicit financial responsibility related to these VIEs.
Construction and Development Projects
SDG&E
In the first six months of 2017, significant net increases to contractual commitments at SDG&E were $41 million, primarily for construction and infrastructure improvements for transmission systems. Net future payments under these contractual commitments are expected to increase by $21 million in 2017 and $26 million in 2018, decrease by $8 million in 2019, increase by $7 million in 2020 and $2 million in 2021, and decrease by $7 million thereafter compared to December 31, 2016.
NUCLEAR INSURANCE
SDG&E and the other owners of SONGS have insurance to cover claims from nuclear liability incidents arising at SONGS. This insurance provides $450 million in coverage limits, the maximum amount available, including coverage for acts of terrorism. In addition, the Price-Anderson Act provides for up to $13 billion of SFP. If a nuclear liability loss occurring at any U.S. licensed/commercial reactor exceeds the $450 million insurance limit, all nuclear reactor owners could be required to contribute to the SFP. In such case, SDG&E’s contribution would be up to $50.9 million. This amount is subject to an annual maximum of $7.6 million, unless a default occurs by any other SONGS owner. If the SFP is insufficient to cover the liability loss, SDG&E could be subject to an additional assessment.
The SONGS owners, including SDG&E, also maintain nuclear property damage insurance that exceeds the minimum federal requirements of $1.06 billion. This insurance coverage is provided through NEIL. The NEIL policies have specific exclusions and limitations that can result in reduced or eliminated coverage. Insured members as a group are subject to retrospective premium assessments to cover losses sustained by NEIL under all issued policies. SDG&E could be assessed up to $10.4 million of retrospective premiums based on overall member claims. All of SONGS’ insurance claims arising out of the failures of the MHI

75



replacement steam generators have been settled with NEIL, as we discuss in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
The nuclear property insurance program includes an industry aggregate loss limit for non-certified acts of terrorism (as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act). The industry aggregate loss limit for property claims arising from non-certified acts of terrorism is $3.24 billion. This is the maximum amount that will be paid to insured members who suffer losses or damages from these non-certified terrorist acts.
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NUCLEAR FUEL DISPOSAL
The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 made the DOE responsible for accepting, transporting, and disposing of spent nuclear fuel. However, it is uncertain when the DOE will begin accepting spent nuclear fuel from SONGS. This delay will lead to increased costs for spent fuel storage. SDG&E will continue to support Edison in its pursuit of claims on behalf of the SONGS co-owners against the DOE for its failure to timely accept the spent nuclear fuel. In April 2016, Edison executed a spent fuel settlement agreement with the DOE for $162 million covering damages incurred from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2013. In May 2016, Edison refunded SDG&E $32 million for its respective share of the damage award paid. In applying this refund, SDG&E recorded a $23 million reduction to the SONGS regulatory asset, an $8 million reduction of its nuclear decommissioning balancing account and a $1 million reduction in its SONGS O&M cost balancing account.
In September 2016, Edison filed claims with the DOE for $56 million in spent fuel management costs incurred in 2014 and 2015 on behalf of the SONGS co-owners under the terms of the 2016 spent fuel settlement agreement. In February 2017, the DOE reduced the request to approximately $43 million primarily due to reductions to the claimed fuel canister costs. SDG&E received its $9 million respective share of the claim from Edison in May 2017 and recorded the proceeds in balancing accounts or as reductions to regulatory assets for the benefit of ratepayers.
In October 2015, the California Coastal Commission approved Edison’s application for the proposed expansion of an ISFSI at SONGS. The ISFSI expansion began construction in 2016 and is expected to be fully loaded with spent fuel by 2019 and to operate until 2049, when it is assumed that the DOE will have taken custody of all the SONGS spent fuel. The ISFSI would then be decommissioned, and the site restored to its original environmental state.
We provide additional information about SONGS in Note 9 above and in Notes 13 and 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
We maintain credit policies and systems designed to manage our overall credit risk. These policies include an evaluation of potential counterparties’ financial condition and an assignment of credit limits. These credit limits are established based on risk and return considerations under terms customarily available in the industry. We grant credit to utility customers and counterparties, substantially all of whom are located in our service territory, which covers most of Southern California and a portion of central California for SoCalGas, and all of San Diego County and an adjacent portion of Orange County for SDG&E. We also grant credit to utility customers and counterparties of our other companies providing natural gas or electric services in Mexico, Chile and Peru.
As they become operational, projects owned or partially owned by Sempra LNG & Midstream, Sempra Renewables, Sempra South American Utilities and Sempra Mexico place significant reliance on the ability of their suppliers, customers and partners to perform on long-term agreements and on our ability to enforce contract terms in the event of nonperformance. We consider many factors, including the negotiation of supplier and customer agreements, when we evaluate and approve development projects.

In February 2016, management approved a plan to market and sell the TdM natural gas-fired power plant located in Mexicali, Baja California, as we discuss in Note 3.
Sempra Renewables develops, owns and operates, or holds interests in, wind and solar energy generation facilities serving wholesale electricity markets in the United States.
Sempra LNG & Midstream develops, owns and operates, or holds interests in, a terminal for the import and export of LNG and sale of natural gas, and natural gas pipelines and storage facilities, all within the United States. In September 2016, Sempra LNG & Midstream sold EnergySouth, the parent company of Mobile Gas and Willmut Gas, and in May 2016, sold its 25-percent interest in Rockies Express. We discuss these divestitures in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
We evaluate each segment’s performance based on its contribution to Sempra Energy’s reported earnings. The California Utilities operate in essentially separate service territories, under separate regulatory frameworks and rate structures set by the CPUC. The California Utilities’ operations are based on rates set by the CPUC and the FERC. We describe the accounting policies of all of our segments in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Common services shared by the business segments are assigned directly or allocated based on various cost factors, depending on the nature of the service provided. Interest income and expense is recorded on intercompany loans. The loan balances and related interest are eliminated in consolidation.
The following tables show selected information by segment from our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts labeled as “All other” in the following tables consist primarily of parent organizations.

(1)
Reflects the adoption of ASU 2016-09, as we discuss in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.
(2)
After preferred dividends.
(3)
Includes after-tax interest expense ($40 million and $44 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $81 million and $87 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively), intercompany eliminations recorded in consolidation and certain corporate costs.

SDG&E
The increase in earnings of $49 million (49%) in the three months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to:
$31 million charge in 2016 associated with prior years’ income tax benefits generated from income tax repairs deductions that were reallocated to ratepayers pursuant to the 2016 GRC FD;
$16 million higher CPUC base operating margin authorized for 2017 and lower non-refundable operating costs;
$8 million favorable impact in 2017 from the resolution of prior years’ income tax items;
$5 million higher earnings from electric transmission operations primarily due to higher rate base; and
$3 million increase in AFUDC related to equity; offset by
$9 million favorable impact in 2016 from the retroactive application of the 2016 GRC FD for the first quarter of 2016.

82



The increase in earnings of $68 million (29%) in the first six months of 2017 was primarily due to:
$31 million charge in 2016 associated with prior years’ income tax benefits generated from income tax repairs deductions that were reallocated to ratepayers pursuant to the 2016 GRC FD;
$22 million higher CPUC base operating margin authorized for 2017 and lower non-refundable operating costs;
$8 million favorable impact in 2017 from the resolution of prior years’ income tax items;
$7 million higher earnings from electric transmission operations primarily due to higher rate base;
$7 million increase in AFUDC related to equity; and
$6 million reimbursement of litigation costs associated with the arbitration ruling over the SONGS replacement steam generators, as we discuss in Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein; offset by
$7 million income tax benefit in 2016 associated with excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation.
SoCalGas
The increase in earnings of $59 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to:
$49 million of charges in 2016 associated with prior years’ income tax benefits generated from income tax repairs deductions that were reallocated to ratepayers pursuant to the 2016 GRC FD;
$13 million impairment of assets in 2016 related to the Southern Gas System Reliability Project (also referred to as the North-South Pipeline); and
$5 million higher earnings associated with the PSEP and advanced metering assets; offset by
$12 million favorable impact in 2016 from the retroactive application of the 2016 GRC FD for the first quarter of 2016.
The increase in earnings of $63 million (32%) in the first six months of 2017 was primarily due to:
$49 million of charges in 2016 associated with prior years’ income tax benefits generated from income tax repairs deductions that were reallocated to ratepayers pursuant to the 2016 GRC FD;
$13 million impairment of assets in 2016 related to the Southern Gas System Reliability Project; and
$10 million higher earnings associated with the PSEP and advanced metering assets; offset by
$4 million income tax benefit in 2016 associated with excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation.
Sempra South American Utilities
Because our operations in South America use their local currency as their functional currency, revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates for the period for consolidation in Sempra Energy Consolidated’s results of operations. The year-to-year variances discussed below are as adjusted for the difference in foreign currency translation rates between years. We discuss these and other foreign currency effects below in “Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations.”
Earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were consistent with earnings for the same period in 2016.
The increase in earnings of $11 million (14%) in the first six months of 2017 was primarily due to higher earnings from operations at Luz del Sur, mainly driven by an increase in rates, and lower operating expenses, offset by lower volumes.
Sempra Mexico
Losses of $9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to earnings of $57 million for the same period in 2016 was primarily due to:
$71 million impairment in 2017, net of a $12 million income tax benefit that has been fully reserved, of the TdM natural gas-fired power plant assets held for sale, as we discuss in Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein;
$29 million unfavorable impact in 2017 from foreign currency and inflation effects, net of related hedging activities, as follows:
$52 million from income tax expense ($34 million after noncontrolling interests), and
$9 million in equity losses from our joint ventures, offset by
$8 million favorable transactional effects.
The net effects of the items above were partially mitigated, as we discuss below in “Other Income, Net,” by a $24 million gain ($40 million pretax) from foreign currency derivatives, which are hedging Sempra Mexico’s foreign currency exposure from its controlling interest in IEnova. We discuss these effects below in “Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rate on Results of Operations;”
$22 million favorable impact in 2016 from foreign currency and inflation effects, net of related hedging activities, as follows:
$22 million from income tax benefit ($18 million after noncontrolling interests), and
$15 million in equity earnings from our joint ventures, offset by
$6 million unfavorable transactional effects.

83



The net effects of the items above were partially offset by a $9 million loss ($15 million pretax) from foreign currency derivatives, which were used to hedge Sempra Mexico’s foreign currency exposure from its controlling interest in IEnova;
$13 million valuation allowance against TdM’s deferred tax assets;
$7 million higher interest expense, including $4 million at Ventika and $2 million at IEnova Pipelines (formerly known as GdC) related to debt assumed in their acquisitions; and
$7 million lower operating results at TdM, mainly due to higher operating expenses related to major maintenance; offset by
$35 million higher pipeline operational earnings, primarily attributable to the increase in our ownership interest in IEnova Pipelines from 50 percent to 100 percent in September 2016 and from other pipeline assets placed in service;
$15 million losses attributable to noncontrolling interests in 2017 compared to $16 million earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in 2016 at IEnova, as we discuss below in “Changes in Revenues, Costs and Earnings – Losses (Earnings) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests;”
$8 million operational earnings in 2017 from the Ventika wind power generation facilities, which we acquired in December 2016;
$3 million tax benefit in 2017 from a reduction to the outside basis deferred tax liability compared to $3 million tax expense in 2016 on our investment in TdM that is held for sale; and
$4 million higher earnings from the recognition of AFUDC related to equity primarily associated with the Ojinaga pipeline project.
The decrease in earnings of $36 million (48%) in the first six months of 2017 was primarily due to:
$86 million unfavorable impact in 2017 from foreign currency and inflation effects, net of related hedging activities, as follows:
$149 million from income tax expense ($99 million after noncontrolling interests), and
$22 million in equity losses from our joint ventures, offset by
$17 million favorable transactional effects.
The net effects of the items above were partially mitigated, as we discuss below in “Other Income, Net,” by a $68 million gain ($113 million pretax) from foreign currency derivatives, which are hedging Sempra Mexico’s foreign currency exposure from its controlling interest in IEnova. We discuss these effects below in “Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rate on Results of Operations;”
$25 million favorable impact in 2016 from foreign currency and inflation effects, net of related hedging activities, as follows:
$22 million from income tax benefit ($18 million after noncontrolling interests), and
$15 million in equity earnings from our joint ventures, offset by
$5 million net unfavorable transactional and translation effects.
The net effects of the items above were partially offset by a $7 million loss ($12 million pretax) from foreign currency derivatives, which were used to hedge Sempra Mexico’s foreign currency exposure from its controlling interest in IEnova;
$71 million impairment in 2017, net of a $12 million income tax benefit that has been fully reserved, of the TdM assets held for sale;
$15 million higher interest expense, including $8 million at Ventika and $4 million at IEnova Pipelines; and
$13 million valuation allowance against TdM’s deferred tax assets; offset by
$57 million higher pipeline operational earnings, primarily attributable to the increase in ownership in IEnova Pipelines and from other pipeline assets placed in service;
$8 million tax benefit in 2017 from a reduction to the outside basis deferred tax liability compared to $32 million tax expense in 2016 on our investment in TdM that is held for sale;
$32 million higher earnings from the recognition of AFUDC related to equity primarily associated with the Ojinaga and San Isidro pipeline projects;
$10 million losses attributable to noncontrolling interests in 2017 compared to $21 million earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in 2016 at IEnova; and
$18 million operational earnings in 2017 from Ventika.
Sempra Renewables
The increase in earnings of $11 million (92%) and $8 million (31%) in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, was due to the attribution of losses of $7 million and $10 million, respectively, to tax equity investors reflected in noncontrolling interests, primarily due to solar assets placed in service during 2016. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the higher earnings were also due to increased production at our wind and solar assets.
Sempra LNG & Midstream
Earnings of $27 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to losses of $149 million for the same period in 2016, was primarily due to:

84



$123 million loss in 2016 on permanent release of certain pipeline capacity, as we discuss in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report;
$34 million settlement proceeds from a breach of contract claim against a counterparty in bankruptcy court, of which $28 million is related to the charge in 2016 from the permanent release of certain pipeline capacity, as we discuss in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein;
$18 million primarily due to mark-to-market losses in 2016 from natural gas marketing activities; and
$5 million higher results from LNG marketing activities primarily driven by changes in natural gas prices.
Earnings of $28 million in the first six months of 2017 compared to losses of $181 million for the same period in 2016, was primarily due to:
$123 million loss in 2016 on permanent release of certain pipeline capacity;
$39 million improved results primarily due to mark-to-market losses in 2016 from natural gas marketing activities;
$34 million settlement proceeds from a breach of contract claim against a counterparty in bankruptcy court, of which $28 million is related to the charge in 2016 from the permanent release of certain pipeline capacity;
$27 million impairment charge in the first quarter of 2016 related to our investment in Rockies Express, which we discuss further in Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein; and
$9 million higher results from LNG marketing activities primarily driven by changes in natural gas prices; offset by
$11 million lower equity earnings resulting from the sale of our investment in Rockies Express in May 2016; and
$7 million lower earnings due to the sale of EnergySouth in September 2016, as we discuss in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Parent and Other
The decrease in losses of $12 million (26%) in the three months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to:
$14 million higher income tax benefits in 2017, including:
$2 million income tax benefit in 2017 compared to $8 million income tax expense in 2016 due to the interim period application of an annual forecasted consolidated effective tax rate, and
$4 million U.S. income tax expense in 2016 on planned repatriation of earnings from certain non-U.S. subsidiaries;
$5 million higher investment gains on dedicated assets in support of our executive retirement and deferred compensation plans, and a decrease in deferred compensation expense associated with the investments; and
$5 million lower net interest expense in 2017; offset by
$6 million higher proportion of operating costs retained at Parent; and
$5 million ($8 million pretax) of costs in 2017 associated with foreign currency derivatives.
The decrease in losses of $8 million (12%) in the first six months of 2017 was primarily due to:
$10 million higher investment gains on dedicated assets in support of our executive retirement and deferred compensation plans;
$9 million lower net interest expense in 2017; and
$6 million higher income tax benefits in 2017, including:
$3 million income tax benefit in 2017 compared to $6 million income tax expense in 2016 due to the interim period application of an annual forecasted consolidated effective tax rate,
$9 million U.S. income tax expense in 2016 on planned repatriation of earnings from certain non-U.S. subsidiaries, and
$7 million income tax benefit in 2017 related to a deferred income tax liability on an outside basis difference in a subsidiary investment, offset by
$1 million income tax expense in 2017 compared to $17 million income tax benefit in 2016 associated with excess tax deficiencies/benefits related to share-based compensation; offset by
$10 million ($16 million pretax) of costs in 2017 associated with foreign currency derivatives; and
$4 million higher proportion of operating costs retained at Parent.

ADJUSTED EARNINGS AND ADJUSTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
We prepare the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. However, management may use earnings and EPS adjusted to exclude certain items (referred to as adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS) internally for financial planning, for analysis of performance and for reporting of results to the Board of Directors. We may also use adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS when communicating our financial results and earnings outlook to analysts and investors. Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the significance and/or nature of the excluded items, management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a meaningful comparison of the performance of 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 U.S. GAAP.
The table below reconciles adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS 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 U.S. GAAP, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

CHANGES IN REVENUES, COSTS AND EARNINGS
This section contains a discussion of the differences between periods in certain line items of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas.

87



Utilities Revenues
Our utilities revenues include
Electric revenues at:
SDG&E
Sempra South American Utilities’ Chilquinta Energía and Luz del Sur
Natural gas revenues at:
SDG&E
SoCalGas
Sempra Mexico’s Ecogas
Sempra LNG & Midstream’s Mobile Gas and Willmut Gas (prior to the sale of EnergySouth on September 12, 2016)
Intercompany revenues included in the separate revenues of each utility are eliminated in the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
SoCalGas and SDG&E currently operate under a regulatory framework that:
permits SDG&E to recover the actual cost incurred to generate or procure electricity based on annual estimates of the cost of electricity supplied to customers. The differences in cost between estimates and actual are recovered in subsequent periods through rates.
permits the cost of natural gas purchased for core customers (primarily residential and small commercial and industrial customers) to be passed through to customers in rates substantially as incurred. However, SoCalGas’ GCIM provides SoCalGas the opportunity to share in the savings and/or costs from buying natural gas for its core customers at prices below or above monthly market-based benchmarks. This mechanism permits full recovery of costs incurred when average purchase costs are within a price range around the benchmark price. Any higher costs incurred or savings realized outside this range are shared between the core customers and SoCalGas. We provide further discussion in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business” in the Annual Report.
also permits the California Utilities to recover certain expenses for programs authorized by the CPUC, or “refundable programs.”
Because changes in SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ cost of electricity and/or natural gas is substantially recovered in rates, changes in these costs are reflected in the changes in revenues, and therefore do not impact earnings. In addition to the change in cost or market prices, electric or natural gas revenues recorded during a period are impacted by customer usage causing a difference between customer billings and recorded or authorized costs. These differences are required to be balanced over time, resulting in over- and undercollected regulatory balancing accounts. We discuss balancing accounts and their effects further in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

In September 2016, Sempra LNG & Midstream completed the sale of EnergySouth, the parent company of Mobile Gas and Willmut Gas. Volume information for Mobile Gas and Willmut Gas has been excluded from 2016 due to immateriality.

Electric Revenues and Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power
In the three months ended June 30, 2017, our electric revenues increased by $46 million (4%) to $1.3 billion due to:
$49 million increase at SDG&E, which included
$52 million of charges in 2016 associated with prior years’ income tax benefits generated from income tax repairs deductions that were reallocated to ratepayers pursuant to the 2016 GRC FD,
$15 million increase in 2017 due to an increase in rates permitted under the attrition mechanism in the 2016 GRC FD, and
$10 million higher authorized revenues from electric transmission, offset by
$14 million favorable impact in 2016 from the retroactive application of the 2016 GRC FD for the first quarter of 2016,
$14 million lower recovery of costs associated with CPUC-authorized refundable programs, which revenues are fully offset in O&M, and
$12 million charge in 2017 associated with tracking the income tax benefit from certain flow-through items in relation to the forecasted amounts in the 2016 GRC FD; offset by
$3 million decrease at Sempra South American Utilities, which included
$20 million lower volumes at Luz del Sur primarily due to the migration of regulated and non-regulated customers to tolling customers, who pay only a tolling fee and do not contribute to customer load, offset by
$10 million due to higher rates at Luz del Sur, and
$7 million due to foreign currency exchange rate effects.
Our utilities’ cost of electric fuel and purchased power decreased by $8 million (1%) to $553 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to a $10 million decrease at Sempra South American Utilities, which included
$9 million lower costs at Chilquinta Energía; and
$5 million from lower volumes at Luz del Sur, net of higher volume at Chilquinta Energía; offset by
$5 million due to foreign currency exchange rate effects.

90



In the first six months of 2017, our electric revenues increased by $90 million (4%) to $2.6 billion primarily due to:
$81 million increase at SDG&E, which included
$52 million of charges in 2016 associated with prior years’ income tax benefits generated from income tax repairs deductions that were reallocated to ratepayers pursuant to the 2016 GRC FD,
$26 million increase in 2017 due to an increase in rates permitted under the attrition mechanism in the 2016 GRC FD,
$16 million higher authorized revenues from electric transmission, and
$15 million higher cost of electric fuel and purchased power, which we discuss below, offset by
$24 million lower recovery of costs associated with CPUC-authorized refundable programs, which revenues are fully offset in O&M, and
$10 million charge in 2017 associated with tracking the income tax benefit from certain flow-through items in relation to forecasted amounts in the 2016 GRC FD; and
$9 million increase at Sempra South American Utilities, which included
$29 million due to foreign currency exchange rate effects, and
$20 million due to higher rates at Luz del Sur, offset by
$37 million lower volumes at Luz del Sur primarily due to the migration of regulated and non-regulated customers to tolling customers, who pay only a tolling fee and do not contribute to customer load.
In the first six months of 2017, our utilities’ cost of electric fuel and purchased power increased by $4 million, remaining at $1.1 billion due to:
$15 million increase at SDG&E mainly due to an increase in the cost of purchased power primarily as a result of higher natural gas prices; offset by
$11 million decrease at Sempra South American Utilities, which included
$24 million lower volumes at Luz del Sur, and
$9 million lower costs at Chilquinta Energía, offset by
$20 million due to foreign currency exchange rate effects.
Natural Gas Revenues and Cost of Natural Gas
The table below summarizes average cost of natural gas sold by the California Utilities and included in Cost of Natural Gas. The average cost of natural gas sold at each utility is impacted by market prices, as well as transportation, tariff and other charges.

$153 million increase at SoCalGas, which included
$83 million of charges in 2016 associated with prior years’ income tax benefits generated from income tax repairs deductions that were reallocated to ratepayers pursuant to the 2016 GRC FD,
$32 million increase in cost of natural gas sold, including $36 million from higher average gas prices offset by $4 million from lower volumes driven by slightly warmer weather in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016,
$17 million increase due to 2017 attrition,
$13 million decrease in charges in 2017 associated with tracking the income tax benefit from certain flow-through items in relation to forecasted amounts in the 2016 GRC FD, and
$13 million higher revenues primarily associated with the PSEP, offset by
$14 million favorable impact in 2016 from the retroactive application of the 2016 GRC FD for the first quarter of 2016; and
$17 million increase at SDG&E, which included
$13 million increase in cost of natural gas sold primarily from higher average gas prices, and
$6 million higher revenues primarily associated with the PSEP.

91



In the three months ended June 30, 2017, natural gas revenues and cost of natural gas at Sempra LNG & Midstream decreased by $18 million and $4 million, respectively, due to the sale of EnergySouth in September 2016.
In the first six months of 2017, Sempra Energy’s natural gas revenues increased by $369 million (19%) to $2.3 billion, and the cost of natural gas increased by $219 million (44%) to $713 million. The increase in natural gas revenues was primarily due to:
$361 million increase at SoCalGas, which included
$187 million increase in cost of natural gas sold, including $161 million from higher average gas prices and $26 million from higher volumes driven mainly by cooler weather in 2017,
$83 million of charges in 2016 associated with prior years’ income tax benefits generated from income tax repairs deductions that were reallocated to ratepayers pursuant to the 2016 GRC FD,
$33 million increase due to 2017 attrition,
$27 million higher revenues primarily associated with the PSEP,
$18 million higher recovery of costs associated with CPUC-authorized refundable programs, which revenues are fully offset in O&M, and
$5 million GCIM award approved by the CPUC in January 2017; and
$51 million increase at SDG&E, which included
$39 million increase in the cost of natural gas sold primarily from higher average gas prices, and
$10 million higher revenues primarily associated with the PSEP.
In the first six months of 2017, natural gas revenues and cost of natural gas at Sempra LNG & Midstream decreased by $56 million and $15 million, respectively, due to the sale of EnergySouth in September 2016.

In the three months ended June 30, 2017, revenues from our energy-related businesses increased by $174 million to $336 million primarily due to:
$121 million increase at Sempra Mexico primarily due to:

92



$88 million due to the acquisition of the remaining 50-percent interest in IEnova Pipelines (formerly known as GdC) in September 2016 and from other pipeline assets placed in service, and
$27 million due to the acquisition of Ventika in December 2016;
$50 million increase at Sempra LNG & Midstream primarily due to mark-to-market losses in 2016 from natural gas marketing activities and from changes in natural gas prices; and
$20 million higher revenues at Sempra Renewables primarily due to solar and wind assets placed in service during 2016; offset by
$16 million primarily from higher intercompany eliminations associated with sales between Sempra LNG & Midstream and Sempra Mexico.
In the three months ended June 30, 2017, the cost of natural gas, electric fuel and purchased power for our energy-related businesses remained at $62 million and included
$9 million increase at Sempra Mexico primarily due to higher natural gas costs; and
$8 million increase at Sempra LNG & Midstream primarily due to higher natural gas costs; offset by
$17 million primarily from higher intercompany eliminations of costs associated with sales between Sempra LNG & Midstream and Sempra Mexico.
Other cost of sales decreased by $264 million in three months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to a $206 million charge in 2016 related to Sempra LNG & Midstream’s permanent release of certain pipeline capacity and $57 million settlement proceeds in May 2017 from a breach of contract claim against a counterparty, of which $47 million is related to the charge in 2016 from permanent release of pipeline capacity.
In the first six months of 2017, revenues from our energy-related businesses increased by $327 million to $669 million. The increase included
$239 million increase at Sempra Mexico primarily due to:
$164 million due to the acquisition of the remaining 50-percent interest in IEnova Pipelines in September 2016 and from other pipeline assets placed in service, and
$53 million due to the acquisition of Ventika in December 2016;
$90 million increase at Sempra LNG & Midstream, which included
$75 million primarily due to mark-to-market losses in 2016 from natural gas marketing activities and from changes in natural gas prices, and
$16 million from higher natural gas sales to Sempra Mexico; and
$35 million increase at Sempra Renewables primarily due to solar and wind assets placed in service during 2016; offset by
$36 million from higher intercompany eliminations associated with sales between Sempra LNG & Midstream and Sempra Mexico.
In the first six months of 2017, the cost of natural gas, electric fuel and purchased power for our energy-related businesses increased by $11 million (9%) to $129 million primarily due to:
$25 million increase at Sempra Mexico primarily due to higher natural gas costs; and
$22 million increase at Sempra LNG & Midstream primarily due to higher natural gas costs; offset by
$36 million from higher intercompany eliminations of costs associated with sales between Sempra LNG & Midstream and Sempra Mexico.
In the first six months of 2017, other cost of sales decreased by $277 million primarily due to a $206 million charge in 2016 related to Sempra LNG & Midstream’s permanent release of certain pipeline capacity and $57 million settlement proceeds in May 2017 from a breach of contract claim against a counterparty, of which $47 million is related to the charge in 2016 from permanent release of pipeline capacity.
Operation and Maintenance
Our O&M increased by $25 million (4%) to $731 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to:
$30 million increase at Sempra Mexico, primarily at IEnova Pipelines and Ventika, and from scheduled major maintenance at TdM in the second quarter of 2017; and
$18 million increase at SoCalGas, which included
$15 million higher non-refundable operating costs, including labor, contract services and administrative and support costs, and
$4 million higher expenses associated with CPUC-authorized refundable programs for which all costs incurred are fully recovered in revenue (refundable program expenses); offset by

93



$29 million decrease at SDG&E, which included
$13 million lower expenses associated with CPUC-authorized refundable programs, for which all costs incurred are fully recovered in revenue (refundable program expenses),
$10 million decrease at Otay Mesa VIE primarily due to scheduled major maintenance in 2016 at the OMEC plant, and
$10 million lower non-refundable operating costs, including labor, contract services and administrative and support costs.
During the first six months of 2017, O&M increased by $39 million (3%) to $1.4 billion primarily due to:
$46 million increase at Sempra Mexico primarily at IEnova Pipelines and Ventika, and from scheduled major maintenance at TdM in the second quarter of 2017; and
$45 million increase at SoCalGas, which included
$30 million higher non-refundable operating costs, including labor, contract services and administrative and support costs, and
$18 million higher expenses associated with CPUC-authorized refundable programs for which all costs incurred are fully recovered in revenue (refundable program expenses); offset by
$48 million decrease at SDG&E, which included
$23 million lower expenses associated with CPUC-authorized refundable programs, for which all costs incurred are fully recovered in revenue (refundable program expenses),
$11 million reimbursement of litigation costs associated with the arbitration ruling over the SONGS replacement steam generators, as we discuss in Note 9 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein,
$10 million decrease at Otay Mesa VIE primarily due to scheduled major maintenance in 2016 at the OMEC plant, and
$5 million lower non-refundable operating costs, including labor, contract services and administrative and support costs; and
$22 million decrease at Sempra LNG & Midstream, primarily from lower costs due to the sale of EnergySouth.
Impairment Losses
In the second quarter of 2017, Sempra Mexico reduced the carrying value of TdM by recognizing a noncash impairment charge of $71 million, which we discuss in Notes 3 and 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein. In the second quarter of 2016, SoCalGas recorded a $21 million ($13 million after-tax) impairment of assets related to the Southern Gas System Reliability Project.
Equity Earnings (Losses), Before Income Tax
Equity earnings, before income tax, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $21 million compared to equity losses, before income tax, of $8 million for the same period in 2016. The change was primarily due to a $44 million impairment charge in the first quarter of 2016 related to Sempra LNG & Midstream’s investment in Rockies Express, offset by $19 million lower equity earnings in 2017 as a result of the sale of our 25-percent interest in Rockies Express in May 2016. We discuss the impairment charge and sale further in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Other Income, Net
In 2017, as part of our central risk management function, we entered into foreign currency derivatives to hedge Sempra Mexico parent’s exposure to movements in the Mexican peso from its controlling interest in IEnova. These foreign currency derivatives have notional amounts totaling $850 million and expire in December 2017. The gains associated with these derivatives are included in Other Income, Net, as described below, and partially mitigate the transactional effects of foreign currency and inflation included in “Income Taxes” and in earnings from Sempra Mexico’s equity method investments. We discuss policies governing our risk management in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Market Risk” in the Annual Report.
Other income, net, increased by $68 million to $91 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to:
$31 million from net gains in 2017 on foreign currency derivatives compared to $15 million losses in 2016 primarily as a result of significant appreciation of the Mexican peso;
$10 million increase in equity-related AFUDC primarily at Sempra Mexico mainly from the Ojinaga and San Isidro pipeline projects; and
$7 million foreign currency transactional gains in 2017 compared to $5 million losses in 2016.
Other income, net, increased by $188 million to $260 million in the first six months of 2017 primarily due to:
$94 million from net gains in 2017 on foreign currency derivatives compared to $12 million losses in 2016 primarily as a result of significant appreciation of the Mexican peso;
$55 million increase in equity-related AFUDC primarily at Sempra Mexico mainly from the Ojinaga and San Isidro pipeline projects; and

94



$17 million foreign currency transactional gains in 2017 compared to $7 million losses in 2016.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by $43 million (15%) to $328 million in the first six months of 2017 primarily at Sempra Mexico mainly from the recognition of AFUDC for the Ojinaga and San Isidro pipeline projects and from interest on debt assumed in the IEnova Pipelines and Ventika acquisitions in the second half of 2016.

Reflects the adoption of ASU 2016-09, as we discuss in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.
Sempra Energy Consolidated
The income tax expense in the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to income tax benefit in the same period in 2016 was due to pretax income in 2017 compared to pretax loss in 2016. Pretax loss in 2016 includes the charges associated with prior years’ tax repairs deductions as a result of the 2016 GRC FD at the California Utilities and losses from the permanent release of pipeline capacity at Sempra LNG & Midstream. Items affecting the effective income tax rate include:
$52 million income tax expense in 2017 compared to $22 million income tax benefit in 2016 from foreign currency and inflation effects as a result of significant appreciation of the Mexican peso in 2017; and
$25 million valuation allowance in 2017 against deferred tax assets at TdM that is held for sale, including $12 million associated with the 2017 impairment. We discuss the planned sale and the impairment further in Notes 3 and 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein; offset by
higher forecasted flow-through items as a percentage of pretax income in 2017;
$3 million tax benefit in 2017 from a reduction to the outside basis deferred tax liability, net of valuation allowance, compared to $3 million tax expense in 2016 on our outside basis difference in TdM that is held for sale; and
$9 million favorable resolution of prior years’ income tax items in 2017.
The increase in income tax expense in the first six months of 2017 was due to higher pretax income and a higher effective income tax rate. The higher effective income tax rate was primarily due to:
$149 million income tax expense in 2017 compared to $22 million income tax benefit in 2016 from foreign currency and inflation effects as a result of significant appreciation of the Mexican peso in 2017;
$25 million valuation allowance in 2017 against deferred tax assets at TdM that is held for sale, including $12 million associated with the 2017 impairment; and
$2 million income tax expense in 2017 compared to $34 million income tax benefit in 2016 associated with excess tax deficiencies/benefits related to share-based compensation; offset by
$9 million U.S. income tax expense in 2016 on planned repatriation of earnings from certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. We discuss repatriation in “Results of Operations - Changes in Revenues, Costs and Earnings - Income Taxes” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Annual Report;
$8 million tax benefit in 2017 from a reduction to the outside basis deferred tax liability, net of valuation allowance, compared to $32 million tax expense in 2016 on our outside basis difference in TdM that is held for sale; and
$9 million favorable resolution of prior years’ income tax items in 2017.

95



SDG&E
The increase in SDG&E’s income tax expense in the three months ended June 30, 2017 was due to higher pretax income offset by a lower effective income tax rate. Pretax income in 2016 includes the charges associated with prior years’ tax repairs deductions as a result of the 2016 GRC FD. The lower effective income tax rate was primarily due to:
higher forecasted flow-through items as a percentage of pretax income in 2017; and
$8 million favorable resolution of prior years’ income tax items in 2017.
The increase in SDG&E’s income tax expense in the first six months of 2017 was due to higher pretax income offset by a lower effective income tax rate. The lower effective income tax rate was primarily due to:
higher forecasted flow-through items as a percentage of pretax income in 2017; and
$8 million favorable resolution of prior years’ income tax items in 2017; offset by
$7 million income tax benefit in 2016 associated with excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation.
SoCalGas
SoCalGas’ income tax expense in the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to income tax benefit in the same period in 2016 was due to pretax income in 2017 compared to pretax loss in 2016. The pretax loss in 2016 includes the charges associated with prior years’ tax repairs deductions as a result of the 2016 GRC FD.
The increase in SoCalGas’ income tax expense in the first six months of 2017 was due to higher pretax income and a higher effective income tax rate. The higher effective income tax rate was primarily due to lower forecasted flow-through deductions as a percentage of pretax income in 2017 and an income tax benefit of $4 million in 2016 associated with excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation.
We discuss the forecasted effective tax rates anticipated for the full year, excluding the income tax effects that cannot be reliably forecasted, for Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas in “Results of Operations – Changes in Revenues, Costs and Earnings – Income Taxes” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Annual Report. We discuss the impact of foreign exchange rates and inflation on income taxes below in “Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations.” See Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and Notes 1 and 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report for further details about our accounting for income taxes and items subject to flow-through treatment.
Equity Earnings (Losses), Net of Income Tax
Equity earnings, net of income tax, were negligible for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $33 million for the same period in 2016. The change was primarily due to $29 million of equity earnings in 2016 from IEnova Pipelines (formerly known as GdC), including $11 million from DEN, prior to IEnova’s acquisition of the remaining 50-percent interest in IEnova Pipelines in September 2016, as we discuss in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. In the three months ended June 30, 2017, there was a $1 million equity loss at DEN, primarily from foreign currency and inflation effects.
Equity losses, net of income tax, were $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to equity earnings, net of tax, of $50 million for the same period in 2016. The change was primarily due to:
$44 million of equity earnings in 2016 from IEnova Pipelines, including $12 million from DEN, prior to IEnova’s acquisition of the remaining 50-percent interest in IEnova Pipelines in September 2016; and
$11 million of equity losses in 2017 at DEN primarily from foreign currency and inflation effects.
Losses (Earnings) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Losses attributable to noncontrolling interests were $12 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to earnings of $10 million in the same period of 2016 primarily due to:
$15 million losses attributable to noncontrolling interests in 2017 compared to $16 million earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest in 2016 at IEnova, including:
$25 million higher losses attributable to noncontrolling interests from foreign currency and inflation effects without the corresponding benefit from foreign currency derivatives that are not subject to noncontrolling interests, as we discuss above in “Other Income, Net,”
$8 million lower earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests as a result of the decrease in earnings, excluding the effects of foreign currency and inflation, as we discuss above in “Segment Results – Sempra Mexico;” offset by
$2 million higher earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests, excluding the effects of foreign currency and inflation, from the decrease in our controlling interest from 81.1 percent to 66.4 percent following IEnova’s equity offerings in October 2016, which we discuss in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report; and
$7 million attribution of losses to tax equity investors at Sempra Renewables; offset by

96



$17 million increase in earnings at Otay Mesa VIE primarily as a result of scheduled major maintenance at the OMEC plant in 2016.
Losses attributable to noncontrolling interests were $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to earnings of $21 million in the same period of 2016 primarily due to:
$10 million losses attributable to noncontrolling interests in 2017 compared to $21 million earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest in 2016 at IEnova, including:
$57 million higher losses attributable to noncontrolling interests from foreign currency and inflation effects without the corresponding benefit from foreign currency derivatives that are not subject to noncontrolling interests, offset by
$18 million higher earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests, excluding the effects of foreign currency and inflation, from the decrease in our controlling interest from 81.1 percent to 66.4 percent following IEnova’s equity offerings in October 2016, and
$8 million higher earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests as a result of the increase in earnings, excluding the effects of foreign currency and inflation, as we discuss above in “Segment Results – Sempra Mexico;” and
$10 million attribution of losses to tax equity investors at Sempra Renewables; offset by
$18 million increase in earnings at Otay Mesa VIE primarily as a result of scheduled major maintenance at the OMEC plant in 2016.
IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION RATES ON RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Because our operations in South America and our natural gas distribution utility in Mexico use their local currency as their functional currency, revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates for the period for consolidation in Sempra Energy Consolidated’s results of operations. Some income statement activities at our foreign operations and their joint ventures are also impacted by transactional gains and losses. We discuss the impact of foreign currency and inflation rates on results of operations, including impacts on income taxes and related hedging activity, further in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” in the Annual Report.
Foreign Currency Translation
Any difference in average exchange rates used for the translation of income statement activity from year to year can cause a variance in Sempra Energy’s comparative results of operations. Changes in foreign currency translation rates between years impacted our comparative reported results as follows:

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
OVERVIEW
We expect to meet our cash requirements through cash flows from operations, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under our credit facilities, distributions from our equity method investments, issuances of securities, project financing and equity sales, including tax equity and partnering in joint ventures.
Our lines of credit provide liquidity and support commercial paper. As we discuss in Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein, Sempra Energy, Sempra Global (the holding company for our subsidiaries not subject to California utility regulation) and the California Utilities each have five-year revolving credit facilities expiring in 2020. The table below shows the amount of available funds, including available unused credit on these three credit facilities, at June 30, 2017. Our foreign operations have additional general purpose credit facilities aggregating $1.7 billion, with $1 billion available unused credit at June 30, 2017.

Amounts at Sempra Energy Consolidated include $150 million held in non-U.S. jurisdictions that are unavailable to fund U.S. operations unless repatriated. We discuss repatriation in “Results of Operations – Changes in Revenues, Costs and Earnings – Income Taxes” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Annual Report.
(2)
Available unused credit is the total available on Sempra Energy’s, Sempra Global’s and the California Utilities’ credit facilities that we discuss in Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein. Borrowings on the shared line of credit at SDG&E and SoCalGas are limited to $750 million for each utility and a combined total of $1 billion.
(3) Because the commercial paper programs are supported by these lines, we reflect the amount of commercial paper outstanding as a reduction to the available unused credit.

Sempra Energy Consolidated
We believe that these available funds, combined with cash flows from operations, distributions from our equity method investments, issuances of securities, project financing and equity sales, including tax equity and partnering in joint ventures, will be adequate to fund operations, including to:
finance capital expenditures
meet liquidity requirements
fund shareholder dividends
fund new business acquisitions or start-ups
repay maturing long-term debt
fund expenditures related to the natural gas leak at SoCalGas’ Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility
Sempra Energy and the California Utilities currently have ready access to the long-term debt markets and are not currently constrained in their ability to borrow at reasonable rates. However, changing economic conditions could affect the availability and cost of both short-term and long-term financing. Also, cash flows from operations may be impacted by the timing of commencement and completion of large projects. If cash flows from operations were to be significantly reduced or we were unable to borrow under acceptable terms, we would likely first reduce or postpone discretionary capital expenditures (not related to safety) and investments in new businesses. If these measures were necessary, they would primarily impact our Sempra Infrastructure businesses before we would reduce funds necessary for the ongoing needs of our utilities. We monitor our ability to finance the needs of our operating, investing and financing activities in a manner consistent with our intention to maintain our investment-grade credit ratings and capital structure.
Our short-term debt is primarily used to meet liquidity requirements, fund shareholder dividends, and temporarily finance capital expenditures and new business acquisitions or start-ups. Our corporate short-term, unsecured promissory notes, or commercial paper, were our primary sources of short-term debt funding in the first six months of 2017. At our California Utilities, short-term debt is used primarily to meet working capital needs.
We have significant investments in several trusts to provide for future payments of pensions and other postretirement benefits, and nuclear decommissioning. Changes in asset values, which are dependent on the activity in the equity and fixed income markets, have not affected the trust funds’ abilities to make required payments. However, changes in asset values may, along with a number of other factors such as changes to discount rates, assumed rates of return, mortality tables, and regulations, impact funding requirements for pension and other postretirement benefit plans and SDG&E’s NDT. At the California Utilities, funding requirements are generally recoverable in rates. We discuss our employee benefit plans and SDG&E’s NDT, including our investment allocation strategies for assets in these trusts, in Notes 7 and 13, respectively, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Loans to Affiliates
At June 30, 2017, Sempra Energy has provided loans to unconsolidated affiliates totaling $399 million, which we discuss in Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.
California Utilities
SDG&E and SoCalGas expect that the available funds described above, cash flows from operations, and debt issuances will continue to be adequate to fund their respective operations.
SDG&E declared and paid common stock dividends of $175 million in the year ended December 31, 2016 and an additional $175 million in the first quarter of 2017. In July 2017, SDG&E declared and paid common stock dividends of $275 million. SDG&E expects to pay dividends approximating 75 percent of its earnings in 2017, subject to the discretion and approval of its board of directors.
As a result of SoCalGas’ large capital investment program, SoCalGas has not declared or paid common stock dividends since 2015. SoCalGas does not anticipate paying common stock dividends in 2017, in order to maintain its authorized capital structure while managing its large capital program of over $1 billion in 2017.
Changes in balancing accounts for significant costs at SDG&E and SoCalGas, particularly a change in status between over- and under- collected, may have a significant impact on cash flows, as these changes generally represent the difference between when costs are incurred and when they are ultimately recovered in rates through billings to customers. SDG&E uses the ERRA balancing account to record the net of its actual cost incurred for electric fuel and purchased power. SDG&E’s ERRA balance was undercollected by $130 million at June 30, 2017 and $25 million at December 31, 2016. During the first six months of 2017, the increase in the ERRA undercollected balance was primarily due to lower electric volume in conjunction with seasonalized electric rates. The CPUC authorized an ERRA Trigger mechanism in conjunction with California state law that allows for recovery of ERRA balances that exceed 5 percent of the prior year’s electric commodity revenues. To reduce the undercollected ERRA balance, SDG&E filed an ERRA Trigger application with the CPUC in May 2017 requesting recovery of $120 million to be amortized in rates over a 14-month

99



period beginning November 2017. In July 2017, the CPUC issued a proposed decision approving the request as filed. We expect the final decision in the third quarter of 2017.
SoCalGas and SDG&E use the CFCA balancing account to record the difference between the authorized margin and other costs allocated to core customers. Because warm weather experienced in 2016 and 2017 resulted in lower natural gas consumption compared to authorized levels, SoCalGas’ CFCA balance was undercollected by $119 million at June 30, 2017 and $114 million at December 31, 2016. SDG&E’s CFCA balance was undercollected by $24 million at June 30, 2017 and $66 million at December 31, 2016.
SoCalGas
Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak
We provide information on the natural gas leak at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility further in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and in “Factors Influencing Future Performance” below, as well as in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report. The costs of defending against the related civil and criminal lawsuits and cooperating with related investigations, and any damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, costs and other penalties, if awarded or imposed, as well as costs of mitigating the actual natural gas released, could be significant, and to the extent not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), or if there were to be significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, such costs could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. Also, higher operating costs and additional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas as a result of new laws, orders, rules and regulations arising out of this incident or our responses thereto could be significant and may not be recoverable in customer rates, which may have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
The total costs incurred to remediate and stop the leak and to mitigate local community impacts are significant and may increase, and to the extent not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), or if there were to be significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, such costs could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Sempra South American Utilities
We expect to fund operations at Chilquinta Energía and Luz del Sur and dividends at Luz del Sur with available funds, including credit facilities, funds internally generated by those businesses, issuances of corporate bonds and other external borrowings.
Sempra Mexico
We expect to fund operations and dividends in Mexico with available funds, including credit facilities, and funds internally generated by the Mexico businesses, securities issuances, project financing, interim funding from the parent or affiliates, and partnering in joint ventures.
In the year ended December 31, 2016, IEnova paid dividends of $26 million to its minority shareholders. No dividends were paid in the six months ended June 30, 2017. On July 25, 2017, IEnova declared $67 million in dividends to its minority shareholders, payable in August 2017.
IMG is a joint venture between a subsidiary of IEnova and a subsidiary of TransCanada. In April 2017, IEnova entered into a revolving credit facility agreement, expiring in March 2022, with IMG for up to $9.0 billion Mexican pesos or approximately $500 million U.S. dollar-equivalent, to provide financing to IMG for the construction of the Sur de Texas - Tuxpan natural gas marine pipeline and for general corporate purposes, including repayment of other outstanding debt. At June 30, 2017, $3.2 billion Mexican pesos or approximately $177 million U.S. dollar-equivalent is outstanding against the line of credit. IEnova also has provided guarantees for certain obligations of IMG not to exceed $288 million, as we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.
Sempra Renewables
We expect Sempra Renewables to require funds for the development of and investment in electric renewable energy projects. Projects at Sempra Renewables may be financed through a combination of operating cash flow, project financing, funds from the parent, partnering in joint ventures, and other forms of equity sales, including tax equity. The varying costs and structure of these alternative financing sources impact the projects’ returns and their earnings profile.
Sempra LNG & Midstream
We expect Sempra LNG & Midstream to require funding for the development and expansion of its portfolio of projects, which may be financed through a combination of operating cash flow, funding from the parent, project financing and partnering in joint ventures.

100



Sempra LNG & Midstream, through its interest in Cameron LNG JV, is developing a natural gas liquefaction export facility at the Cameron LNG JV terminal. The majority of the current three-train liquefaction project is project-financed, with most or all of the remainder of the capital requirements to be provided by the project partners, including Sempra Energy, through equity contributions under a joint venture agreement. We expect that our remaining equity requirements to complete the project will be met by a combination of our share of cash generated from each liquefaction train as it comes on line and additional cash contributions. Sempra Energy signed guarantees for 50.2 percent of Cameron LNG JV’s obligations under the financing agreements for a maximum amount of $3.9 billion. The project financing and guarantees became effective on October 1, 2014, the effective date of the joint venture formation. The guarantees will terminate upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including all three trains achieving commercial operation and meeting certain operational performance tests. We anticipate that the guarantees will be terminated approximately nine months after all three trains achieve commercial operation.
We discuss Cameron LNG JV and the joint venture financing further in Notes 3 and 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in “Risk Factors,” and in “Factors Influencing Future Performance” in the Annual Report. We also discuss Cameron LNG JV in “Factors Influencing Future Performance” below.

Sunrise Powerlink Project Cost Cap
In August 2015, SDG&E filed a petition with the CPUC requesting that it revise and confirm the project cost cap for the Sunrise Powerlink, a 500-kV electric transmission line between the Imperial Valley and the San Diego region that was energized and placed in service in June 2012. While post-energization construction activities for the project were completed in 2013, certain matters relating to outstanding claims were not resolved until the first quarter of 2015. The filing requested CPUC approval of the final expenditure report for the project and the proposed revisions to the total project cost cap. As evidenced in the final report, actual expenditures for the project totaled $1.9 billion (in 2012 dollars, on a net present value basis), which exceeds the total project cost cap approved by the CPUC in 2008 by $4.4 million.
In June 2017, the CPUC dismissed SDG&E’s petition as moot since the Sunrise Powerlink transmission project has been fully constructed and found that, although the CPUC may establish a cost cap for electric transmission projects, the recovery of the associated costs is under FERC jurisdiction. The decision also finds that SDG&E complied with the CPUC’s quarterly reporting requirements, resolving the issue of whether the adequacy of such reporting should be further investigated.
Potential Impacts of Community Choice Aggregation and Direct Access
SDG&E provides electric services, including the commodity of electricity, to the majority of its customers (“bundled customers”).  SDG&E procures electricity, typically on a long-term basis, on behalf of these bundled customers. However, SDG&E’s earnings are “decoupled” from electric sales volumes, one aspect of which is that commodity costs for electricity are directly passed through to bundled customers (see discussion in “Revenues – California Utilities” in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report). SDG&E’s bundled customers have the option to purchase the commodity of electricity from alternate suppliers under defined programs, including CCA and DA. In such cases, California law (SB 350) prohibits remaining bundled customers from experiencing any cost increase as a result of electric commodity no longer being consumed by the departing customers. Existing rate mechanisms may not be sufficient to ensure that remaining bundled customers do not experience any cost increase as a result of departing customers. SDG&E, PG&E and Edison filed a joint application with the CPUC in April 2017 to replace these existing mechanisms and ensure compliance with state law. In June 2017, the CPUC initiated a rulemaking proceeding to address this matter and dismissed the joint application without prejudice, since the issues it raised will be addressed in the rulemaking.

105


Currently, DA in SDG&E’s service area is limited by state law and is approximately 17 percent of SDG&E’s annual demand, and there are no CCA providers in SDG&E’s service area. However, several local political jurisdictions, including the City of San Diego and a few other, smaller municipalities, are considering the formation of a CCA which, if implemented, could result in the departure of more than half of SDG&E’s bundled load. State law requires that customers opting to have a CCA procure their energy must also absorb the cost of energy procurement commitments already made by SDG&E on their behalf.  If mechanisms to ensure compliance with state law were not in place at the time of these potentially significant reductions in SDG&E’s served load, remaining bundled customers of SDG&E could potentially experience large increases in rates for commodity costs under commitments made on behalf of the CCA customers. If legislative, regulatory or legal action were taken to prevent the timely recovery of these procurement costs, the unrecovered costs could have a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
SONGS
SDG&E has a 20-percent ownership interest in SONGS, formerly a 2,150-MW nuclear generating facility near San Clemente, California, that is in the process of being decommissioned by Edison, the majority owner of SONGS. In Notes 9 and 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein, and in Notes 13 and 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report, we discuss regulatory and other matters related to SONGS, including:
a reopened CPUC proceeding that is considering whether a SONGS-related amended settlement agreement approved in 2014 is reasonable and in the public interest;
matters concerning the ability to timely withdraw funds from trust accounts for the payment of decommissioning costs; and
the arbitration decision finding MHI liable for breach of contract in connection with the replacement steam generators at the SONGS nuclear power plant, subject to a contractual limitation of liability, and awarding MHI 95 percent of its arbitration costs as MHI was found to be the prevailing party.
Wildfire Claims Cost Recovery
In September 2015, SDG&E filed an application with the CPUC requesting rate recovery of an estimated $379 million in costs related to the October 2007 wildfires that have been recorded to the Wildfire Expense Memorandum Account, as we discuss in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
In April 2016, the CPUC issued a ruling establishing the scope and schedule for the proceeding, which will be managed in two phases. Phase 1 addresses SDG&E’s operational and management prudence surrounding the 2007 wildfires. We expect a Phase 1 draft decision from the CPUC in the second half of 2017. Phase 2 will address whether SDG&E’s actions and decision-making in connection with settling legal claims in relation to the wildfires were reasonable, with a final CPUC decision expected by early 2019. In October 2016, intervening parties submitted Phase 1 testimony raising various concerns with SDG&E’s operations and management prior to and during the 2007 wildfires, and SDG&E responded to that testimony in December 2016. Participating parties asked that the CPUC reject SDG&E’s request for cost recovery.
Recovery of these costs in rates will require future regulatory approval. SDG&E will continue to assess the likelihood, amount and timing of such recoveries in rates. Should SDG&E conclude that recovery of excess wildfire costs in rates is no longer probable, at that time SDG&E would record a charge against earnings. If SDG&E had concluded that the recovery of regulatory assets related to CPUC-regulated operations was no longer probable or was less than currently estimated, at June 30, 2017, the resulting after-tax charge against earnings would have been up to approximately $207 million. A failure to obtain substantial or full recovery of the requested amount of these costs from customers, or any negative assessment of the likelihood of recovery, would likely have a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra Energy’s financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. We discuss the October 2007 wildfires and how we assess the probability of recovery of our regulatory assets in Notes 15 and 1, respectively, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

SOCALGAS
Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak
In October 2015, SoCalGas discovered a leak at one of its injection-and-withdrawal wells, SS25, at its Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility located in Los Angeles County, which SoCalGas has operated as a gas storage facility since 1972. SoCalGas worked closely with several of the world’s leading experts to stop the leak. On February 18, 2016, DOGGR confirmed that the well was permanently sealed.
Local Community Mitigation Efforts
Pursuant to a stipulation and order by the Los Angeles County Superior Court, SoCalGas provided temporary relocation support to residents in the nearby community who requested it before the well was permanently sealed. Following the permanent sealing of the well, the DPH conducted indoor testing of certain homes in the Porter Ranch community, and concluded that indoor conditions did not present a long-term health risk and that it was safe for residents to return home. In May 2016, the Los Angeles County Superior Court ordered SoCalGas to offer to clean residents’ homes at SoCalGas’ expense as a condition to ending the relocation program. SoCalGas completed the residential cleaning program and the relocation program ended in July 2016.
Apart from the Los Angeles County Superior Court order, in May 2016, the DPH also issued a directive that SoCalGas professionally clean (in accordance with the proposed protocol prepared by the DPH) the homes of all residents located within the Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council boundary, or who participated in the relocation program, or who are located within a five mile radius of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and have experienced symptoms from the natural gas leak (the Directive). SoCalGas disputes the Directive, contending that it is invalid and unenforceable, and has filed a petition for writ of mandate to set aside the Directive.
The total costs incurred to remediate and stop the leak and to mitigate local community impacts are significant and may increase, and we may be subject to potentially significant damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, costs and other penalties. To the extent any of these costs are not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), or if there were to be significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, such costs could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Litigation
In connection with the natural gas leak at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, as of August 3, 2017, 281 lawsuits, including over 25,500 plaintiffs, are pending against SoCalGas, some of which have also named Sempra Energy. Derivative and securities claims have also been filed on behalf of Sempra Energy and/or SoCalGas or their shareholders against certain officers and directors of Sempra Energy and/or SoCalGas. We provide further detail on these cases, as well as on complaints filed by the California Attorney General, acting in an independent capacity and on behalf of the people of the State of California and the CARB, together with the Los Angeles City Attorney; the SCAQMD; and the County of Los Angeles, on behalf of itself and the people of the State of California; and on a misdemeanor criminal complaint filed by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office; in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein. Additional litigation may be filed against us in the future related to the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility incident or our responses thereto.
The costs of defending against these civil and criminal lawsuits, cooperating with these investigations, and any damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, costs and other penalties, if awarded or imposed, as well as costs of mitigating the actual natural gas released, could be significant and to the extent not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), or if there were to be significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, such costs could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Governmental Investigations
Various governmental agencies have investigated or are investigating this incident.
In January 2016, the Governor of the State of California issued an Order (the Governor’s Order) proclaiming a state of emergency to exist in Los Angeles County due to the natural gas leak at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility. The Governor’s Order imposes various orders with respect to: stopping the leak; protecting public health and safety; ensuring accountability; and strengthening oversight. We provide further detail regarding the Governor’s Order and the CARB’s Aliso Canyon Methane Leak Climate Impacts Mitigation Program, issued pursuant to the Governor’s Order, in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.
In January 2016, SoCalGas entered into a Stipulated Order for Abatement with the SCAQMD and agreed to take various actions in connection with injecting and withdrawing natural gas at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, sealing the well, monitoring, reporting, safety and funding a health impact study, among other things. In February 2017, SoCalGas entered into a settlement agreement with the SCAQMD, and in March 2017, the Hearing Board terminated the Abatement Order. We provide further detail regarding the SCAQMD stipulated Abatement Order in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.

In January 2016, DOGGR and the CPUC selected Blade to conduct an independent analysis under the direction and supervision of DOGGR and the CPUC to be funded by SoCalGas to investigate the technical root cause of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility gas leak. The timing of the root cause analysis is under the control of Blade, DOGGR and the CPUC.
In February 2017, the CPUC opened a proceeding to determine the feasibility of minimizing or eliminating use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, while still maintaining energy and electric reliability for the region, as we discuss below in “Regulatory Proceedings” and “SB 380.”
Natural Gas Storage Operations and Reliability
Natural gas withdrawn from storage is important for service reliability during peak demand periods, including peak electric generation needs in the summer and heating needs in the winter. The Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, with a storage capacity of 86 Bcf (which represents 63 percent of SoCalGas’ natural gas storage inventory capacity), is the largest SoCalGas storage facility and an important element of SoCalGas’ delivery system. SoCalGas did not inject natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility after October 25, 2015, pursuant to orders by DOGGR and the Governor, and in accordance with SB 380. Limited withdrawals of natural gas from the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility have been made in 2017 to augment natural gas supplies during critical demand periods. In April and June of 2017, SoCalGas advised the CAISO, CEC, CPUC and PHMSA of its concerns that the inability to inject natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility poses a risk to energy reliability in Southern California.
On July 19, 2017, DOGGR issued its Order to: Test and Take Temporary Actions Upon Resuming Injection: Aliso Canyon Gas Storage Facility, lifting the prohibition on injection at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, subject to its requirements that SoCalGas conduct and report results of a leak survey and measurement of total site methane emissions before resuming injection operations, as well as other requirements after injection resumes. The CPUC additionally issued a directive to SoCalGas to maintain a range of working gas in the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility at a target of 23.6 Bcf (approximately 28 percent of its maximum capacity), and at all times above 14.8 Bcf. On July 24, 2017, the County of Los Angeles filed an application for a temporary restraining order to block DOGGR’s order. On July 28, 2017, the Superior Court denied the application on the ground that, pursuant to Public Utilities Code sections 714 and 1759(a), the CPUC has jurisdiction over regulating injections at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, and the Court therefore lacks jurisdiction to rule on the County’s application. On July 31, 2017, the County filed a petition for writ of mandate, prohibition, stay or other appropriate relief and a request for immediate stay in the Court of Appeal, seeking review of the Superior Court’s order denying the County’s application for a temporary restraining order. Later the same day, the Court of Appeal denied the County’s request for an immediate stay on injections. We provide further detail regarding DOGGR’s order and the County of Los Angeles’ petition in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein. Also on July 19, 2017, the CEC released a letter to the CPUC indicating that its staff is prepared to work with the CPUC and other agencies on a plan to phase out the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility within ten years. The CEC and other stakeholders will be providing input into the SB 380 proceeding underway at the CPUC that addresses the future of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility. Having completed the steps outlined by state agencies in order to safely begin injections at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, as of July 31, 2017, SoCalGas resumed limited injections.
If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were determined to be out of service for any meaningful period of time or permanently closed, or if future revenues were otherwise insufficient to recover its recorded value, it could result in an impairment of the facility and significantly higher than expected operating costs and/or additional capital expenditures, and natural gas reliability and electric generation could be jeopardized. At June 30, 2017, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility has a net book value of $582 million, including $237 million of construction work in progress for the project to construct a new compression station. Any significant impairment of this asset could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s results of operations for the period in which it is recorded. Higher operating costs and additional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas may not be recoverable in customer rates, and could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Regulatory Proceedings
In February 2017, the CPUC opened a proceeding pursuant to SB 380 to determine the feasibility of minimizing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, while still maintaining energy and electric reliability for the region. The proceeding will be conducted in two phases, with Phase 1 undertaking a comprehensive effort to develop the appropriate analyses and scenarios to evaluate the impact of reducing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and Phase 2 evaluating the impacts of reducing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility using the scenarios and models adopted in Phase 1. In accordance with the Phase 1 schedule, public participation hearings began in April 2017, and workshops and additional public participation hearings are expected to occur later in 2017.
Section 455.5 of the California Public Utilities Code, among other things, directs regulated utilities to notify the CPUC if all or any portion of a major facility has been out of service for nine consecutive months. Although SoCalGas does not believe the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility or any portion of that facility has been out of service for nine consecutive months, SoCalGas provided notification for transparency, and because the process for obtaining authorization to resume injection operations at the facility is taking

108



longer to complete than initially contemplated. In response, and as required by Section 455.5, the CPUC issued an OII to address whether the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility or any portion of that facility has been out of service for nine consecutive months pursuant to Section 455.5, and if it is determined to have been out of service, whether the CPUC should adjust SoCalGas’ rates to reflect the period the facility is deemed to have been out of service. As required under Section 455.5, if hearings on the investigation are necessary, they will be consolidated with SoCalGas’ next GRC proceeding. In the event that the CPUC determines that all or any portion of the facility has been out of service for nine consecutive months, the amount of any refund to ratepayers and the inability to earn a return on those assets could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
In March 2016, the CPUC ordered SoCalGas to establish a memorandum account to prospectively track its authorized revenue requirement and all revenues that it receives for its normal, business-as-usual costs to own and operate the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and, in September 2016, approved SoCalGas’ request to begin tracking these revenues as of March 17, 2016. The CPUC will determine at a later time whether, and to what extent, the authorized revenues tracked in the memorandum account may be refunded to ratepayers.
Insurance
Excluding directors and officers liability insurance, we have four kinds of insurance policies that together provide between $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion in insurance coverage, depending on the nature of the claims. These policies are subject to various policy limits, exclusions and conditions. We have been communicating with our insurance carriers and intend to pursue the full extent of our insurance coverage. Through June 30, 2017, we have received $273 million of insurance proceeds for a portion of control-of-well expenses and a portion of temporary relocation costs. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining insurance coverage for costs related to the leak under the applicable policies, and to the extent we are not successful in obtaining coverage or these costs exceed the amount of our coverage, such costs could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Our recorded estimate as of June 30, 2017 of $832 million of certain costs in connection with the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility leak may rise significantly as more information becomes available, and any costs not included in our estimate could be material. To the extent not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), or if there were to be significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, such costs could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Regulation
PHMSA, DOGGR, SCAQMD, EPA and CARB have each commenced separate rulemaking proceedings to adopt further regulations covering natural gas storage facilities and injection wells. As we discuss in “Factors Influencing Future Performance” in the Annual Report, DOGGR issued new draft regulations for all storage fields in California, and in 2016, the California Legislature enacted four separate bills providing for additional regulation of natural gas storage facilities. Additional hearings in the California Legislature, as well as with various other federal and state regulatory agencies, have been or may be scheduled, additional legislation has been proposed in the California Legislature, and additional laws, orders, rules and regulations may be adopted. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has formed a task force to review and potentially implement new, more stringent land use (zoning) requirements and associated regulations and enforcement protocols for oil and gas activities, including natural gas storage field operations, which could materially affect new or modified uses of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and other natural gas storage fields located in Los Angeles County.
We discuss these matters further in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, “Factors Influencing Future Performance” and “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
PIPES Act of 2016
In June 2016, the “Protecting our Infrastructure of Pipelines and Enhancing Safety Act of 2016” or the “PIPES Act of 2016” was enacted. Among other things, the PIPES Act of 2016:
requires PHMSA to issue, within two years of passage, “minimum safety standards for underground natural gas storage facilities;”
imposes a “user fee” on underground storage facilities as needed to implement the safety standards;
grants PHMSA authority to issue emergency orders and impose emergency restrictions, prohibitions and safety measures on owners and operators of gas or hazardous liquid pipeline facilities without prior notice or an opportunity for hearing, if the Secretary of Energy determines that an unsafe condition or practice, or a combination of unsafe conditions and practices, constitutes or is causing an imminent hazard; and
directs the Secretary of Energy to establish an Interagency Task Force comprised of representatives from various federal agencies and representatives of state and local governments.

109



In December 2016, PHMSA published an interim final rule pursuant to the PIPES Act of 2016 that revises the federal pipeline safety regulations relating to underground natural gas storage facilities. The interim final rule incorporates consensus safety measures for the construction, maintenance, risk-management, and integrity-management procedures for natural gas storage. SoCalGas began the process of implementing such safety measures prior to formal adoption by PHMSA and is developing the associated documents and procedures required to demonstrate compliance with the standards.
SB 380
In May 2016, SB 380 became law and requires, among other things:
that natural gas injections into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility be prohibited until a comprehensive review of the safety of the gas storage wells at the facility was completed, as we discuss below;
that all gas storage wells returning to service at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility inject or produce gas only through the interior metal tubing and not through the annulus between the tubing and the well casing, which allows SoCalGas wells to operate with two complete barriers to mitigate the potential for an uncontrolled release of natural gas; and
a CPUC proceeding (which was opened in February 2017) to determine the feasibility of minimizing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, while still maintaining energy and electric reliability for the region, and to consult with various governmental agencies and other entities in making its determination. The order establishing the scope of the proceeding expressly excludes issues with respect to air quality, public health, causation, culpability or cost responsibility regarding the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility gas leak.
On July 19, 2017, DOGGR issued an order lifting the prohibition of the injection of natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and the CPUC’s Executive Director issued his concurrence with that determination, subject to certain conditions. On July 21, 2017, the County of Los Angeles filed a petition for writ of mandate against DOGGR and its State Oil and Gas Supervisor and the CPUC and its Executive Director, as to which SoCalGas is the real party in interest. The petition alleges that DOGGR has failed to properly conduct the comprehensive safety review required by SB 380 and failed to perform an Environmental Impact Review pursuant to CEQA. The petition seeks a writ of mandate requiring DOGGR and the State Oil and Gas Supervisor to comply with SB 380 and CEQA, as well as declaratory and injunctive relief against any authorization to inject natural gas.
On July 28, 2017, the Superior Court denied the County’s application for a temporary restraining order to block DOGGR’s order on the ground that, pursuant to Public Utilities Code sections 714 and 1759(a), the CPUC has jurisdiction over regulating injections at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, and the Court therefore lacks jurisdiction to rule on the County’s application. On July 31, 2017, the County filed a petition for writ of mandate, prohibition, stay or other appropriate relief and a request for immediate stay in the Court of Appeal, seeking review of the Superior Court’s order denying the County’s application for a temporary restraining order. Later the same day, the Court of Appeal denied the County’s request for an immediate stay on injections. SoCalGas completed the steps outlined by state agencies in order to safely begin injections at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and, as of July 31, 2017, resumed limited injection. We provide further detail regarding DOGGR’s order and the petition filed by the County of Los Angeles above and in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.
SB 888
In September 2016, SB 888 became law, which requires that a penalty assessed against a gas corporation by the CPUC with regard to a natural gas storage facility leak must at least equal the amount necessary to fully offset the impact on the climate from the greenhouse gases emitted by the leak, as determined by the CARB. The CPUC also must consider the extent to which the gas corporation has mitigated or is in the process of mitigating the impact on the climate from greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the leak.
Proposed Legislation – SB 57
Proposed SB 57 seeks to extend the moratorium on natural gas injections at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility until the root cause analysis of the leak that started in October 2015 has been completed. It would also require the CPUC to “act in a manner that will maximize transparency” in the course of completing its analysis regarding the feasibility of minimizing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility. In addition, the bill would enable the Governor to authorize reinjection, production and withdrawal at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility as necessary to respond to or avoid emergencies. The bill did not pass a vote in the California Senate but may be considered again.
Additional Safety Enhancements

110



In February 2017, SoCalGas notified the CPUC that it is accelerating its well integrity assessments on the natural gas storage wells at its La Goleta, Honor Rancho and Playa del Rey natural gas storage fields consistent with the testing prescribed by SB 380 for the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, proposed new DOGGR regulations, and SoCalGas’ Storage Risk Management Plan. In addition, SoCalGas indicated its plan to reconfigure its operating natural gas storage wells such that natural gas will be injected or produced only through the interior metal tubing and not through the annulus between the tubing and the well casing to maintain a double barrier and additional layer of safety, which is consistent with the direction of federal and state regulations. SoCalGas anticipates that this work will reduce the injection and withdrawal capacity of each of these other storage fields. Depending on the volume of natural gas in storage in each field at the time natural gas is injected or withdrawn, the reduction could be significant and could impact natural gas reliability and electric generation. In March 2017, SoCalGas revised its plan, as directed by the CPUC, for converting all wells to tubing-only operation to maintain a prescribed withdrawal capacity.
Higher operating costs and additional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas as a result of new laws, orders, rules and regulations arising out of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility incident or our responses thereto could be significant and may not be recoverable in customer rates, and SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by any such new laws, orders, rules and regulations.
SoCalGas Billing Practices
In May 2017, the CPUC issued an OII to determine whether SoCalGas violated any provisions of the California Public Utilities Code, General Orders, CPUC decisions, or other requirements pertaining to billing practices from 2014 through 2016. In particular, the CPUC is examining the timeliness of monthly bills, extending the billing period for customers, and issuing estimated bills. Under the OII, the CPUC will also examine SoCalGas’ gas tariff rules and consider whether to impose penalties or other remedies. We expect a decision on the OII in 2018.

Incentive Mechanisms
Energy Efficiency
The CPUC has established incentive mechanisms that are based on the effectiveness of energy efficiency programs. In March 2017, the CPUC approved the settlement agreements reached with the ORA and TURN regarding the incentive awards for program years 2006 through 2008, wherein the parties agreed that SDG&E and SoCalGas would offset up to a total of approximately $4 million each against future incentive awards over the next three years beginning in 2017. If the total incentive awards ultimately authorized for 2017 through 2019 are less than approximately $4 million for either utility, the applicable utility is released from paying any remaining unapplied amount.
Natural Gas Procurement
In June 2017, SoCalGas filed an application for a GCIM award of $4 million for natural gas procured for its core customers during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2017. A CPUC decision is expected in the first half of 2018.
In June 2016, SoCalGas filed an application for a GCIM award of $5 million for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2016. The CPUC approved the award in January 2017.
Natural Gas Pipeline Operations Safety Assessments
In 2011, the California Utilities filed implementation plans with the CPUC to implement the CPUC’s significant and urgent safety directive to test or replace natural gas transmission pipelines that have not been pressure tested and to reduce the time for valves to stop the flow of gas if a break in a pipeline occurs (referred to as PSEP). In 2014, the CPUC issued a final decision approving the utilities’ model for implementing PSEP, and established the criteria to determine the amounts related to PSEP that may be recovered from ratepayers and the processes for recovery of such amounts, including providing that such costs are subject to a reasonableness review. In 2016, the CPUC issued a final decision authorizing SoCalGas and SDG&E to recover, subject to refund pending reasonableness review, 50 percent of the revenue requirements associated with completed Phase 1 projects. The decision also incorporates a forward looking schedule to (1) file two reasonableness review applications for Phase 1 projects completed through 2017, (2) file one forecast application for Phase 2 project costs to be incurred in 2017 and 2018, and (3) include all other PSEP costs in future GRCs.
In September 2016, SoCalGas and SDG&E filed a joint application with the CPUC for its second PSEP reasonableness review and rate recovery of costs of certain pipeline safety projects completed by June 30, 2015 and recorded in their authorized regulatory accounts. The total costs submitted for review are $195 million ($180 million for SoCalGas and $15 million for SDG&E). SoCalGas and SDG&E expect a decision from the CPUC in 2018. This proceeding has been challenged by consumer advocacy groups. However, we believe these costs were prudent, were incurred in accordance with the program, and should be substantially approved for recovery.

112



In March 2017, SoCalGas and SDG&E filed an application with the CPUC requesting approval of the forecasted revenue requirement necessary to recover the costs associated with twelve Phase 1B and Phase 2A pipeline safety projects. The California Utilities expect to incur total costs for the twelve projects of approximately $255 million ($198 million in capital expenditures and $57 million in O&M) to be effective in rates on January 1, 2019. SoCalGas and SDG&E expect a CPUC decision in the second half of 2018.
As shown in the table below, SoCalGas and SDG&E have made significant pipeline safety investments under this program, and SoCalGas expects to continue making significant investments as approved through various regulatory proceedings. SDG&E’s PSEP program is expected to be substantially complete in 2017, with the exception of the Pipeline Safety & Reliability Project that is currently under regulatory review.

Regulatory Compliance and Safety Enforcement
In October 2016, the CPUC’s CPED issued a citation to SoCalGas for alleged violations of certain environmental mitigation measures related to the Aliso Canyon Turbine Replacement Project, and imposed a fine in the amount of $699,500. SoCalGas subsequently appealed the citation and the resulting fine. In March 2017, SoCalGas and the CPED filed a joint settlement agreement with the CPUC to resolve all matters related to the October 2016 citation. As a part of the settlement agreement, SoCalGas agreed to pay $250,000 to the state’s general fund and to retain an independent firm to conduct compliance training seminars for the benefit of SoCalGas and CPUC personnel at a cost not to exceed $25,000. The parties agreed that the settlement agreement did not constitute an admission by SoCalGas or denial by CPED with respect to any issue of fact or law, or of any violation or liability by any party. In May 2017, the CPUC issued a decision approving the settlement as filed.

Energía Costa Azul LNG Terminal

115



In May 2015, Sempra LNG & Midstream, IEnova, and a subsidiary of PEMEX entered into a project development agreement for the joint development of the proposed natural gas liquefaction project at IEnova’s existing regasification terminal at Energía Costa Azul. The agreement specifies how the parties will share costs, and establishes a framework for the parties to work jointly on permitting, design, engineering and commercial activities associated with exploring the development of the liquefaction project. We are sharing costs with PEMEX on the development efforts pursuant to the agreement, and have applied for the primary governmental authorizations for the liquefaction project. Energía Costa Azul has profitable long-term regasification contracts for 100 percent of the regasification facility’s capacity, making the decision to pursue a new liquefaction facility dependent in part on whether the investment in a new liquefaction facility would, over the long term, be more beneficial financially than continuing to supply regasification services under our existing contracts.
Development of this project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including the receipt of a number of permits and regulatory approvals; finding suitable partners and customers; obtaining financing; negotiating and completing suitable commercial agreements, including joint venture agreements, LNG sales agreements, gas supply agreements and construction contracts; reaching a final investment decision; and other factors associated with this potential investment. For a discussion of these risks, see “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.

Other Sempra Mexico Matters
For a discussion about other Sempra Mexico matters, see “Factors Influencing Future Performance” in the Annual Report.
SEMPRA RENEWABLES
Sempra Renewables’ performance is primarily a function of the solar and wind power generated by its assets. Power generation from these assets depends on solar and wind resource levels, weather conditions, and Sempra Renewables’ ability to maintain equipment performance.
Sempra Renewables’ future performance and the demand for renewable energy is impacted by various market factors, most notably state mandated requirements for utilities to deliver a portion of total energy load from renewable energy sources. Additionally, the phase out or extension of U.S. federal income tax incentives, primarily investment tax credits and production tax credits, and grant programs could significantly impact future renewable energy resource availability and investment decisions.

Cameron LNG JV Three-Train Liquefaction Project
Large-scale construction projects like the design, development and construction of the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction facility involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including among others, the potential for unforeseen engineering challenges, substantial construction delays and increased costs. Cameron LNG JV has a turnkey EPC contract, and if the contractor becomes unwilling or unable to perform according to the terms and timetable of the EPC contract, the project could face substantial construction delays and potentially significantly increased costs, which could, if serious enough, require Cameron LNG JV to engage a substitute contractor. In October 2016, the EPC contractor indicated that the Cameron LNG project would not achieve its originally scheduled dates for completion. Recently, the EPC contractor notified the Cameron LNG JV that its project schedule had again changed. This change projected further delays to the Cameron LNG project, which we expect will result in the anticipated earnings and associated cash flows from the Cameron LNG JV project coming in later than originally anticipated. Based on several factors, we think it is reasonable to expect that the first LNG train could be delayed into 2019, with the second and third LNG trains following throughout 2019. These factors include the updated schedule recently received from the EPC contractor, Cameron LNG JV’s own review of the project’s schedule, and the inherent risks in constructing and testing facilities such as Cameron LNG. We continue to work with the EPC contractor and our Cameron LNG JV partners regarding the project’s schedule and the EPC contractor’s delays. During the course of construction of large projects like Cameron LNG, contractors often assert that they are owed additional compensation, schedule extensions, or both. Cameron LNG JV has received information from the EPC contractor claiming they are owed additional amounts beyond the contract value. The contractor has informed Cameron LNG JV that they will supplement this information at a future date. We have not yet been provided with sufficient details that would enable an evaluation of the validity or amount of such purported claims. For a discussion of the Cameron LNG JV and of these risks and other risks relating to the development of the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction project that could adversely affect our future performance, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Our Business - Sempra LNG & Midstream” and “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Proposed Additional Cameron Liquefaction Expansion
Cameron LNG JV has received the major permits necessary to expand the current configuration of the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction project from the current three liquefaction trains under construction. The proposed expansion project includes up to two additional liquefaction trains, capable of increasing LNG production capacity by approximately 9 Mtpa to 10 Mtpa, and up to two additional full containment LNG storage tanks (one of which was permitted with the original three-train project). Advancement of the project includes
DOE FTA approval received in July 2015
Non-FTA approval received in July 2016
FERC permit received in May 2016
Under the Cameron LNG JV financing agreements, expansion of the Cameron LNG JV facilities beyond the first three trains is subject to certain restrictions and conditions, including among others, timing restrictions on expansion of the project unless appropriate prior consent is obtained from lenders. Under the Cameron LNG JV equity agreements, the expansion of the project requires the unanimous consent of all the partners, including with respect to the equity investment obligation of each partner. One of the partners indicated to Sempra Energy and the other partners that it does not intend to invest additional capital in Cameron LNG JV with respect to the expansion. As a result, discussions among the partners are taking place, and we are considering a variety of options to attempt to move this project forward. These activities have contributed to delays in developing firm pricing information and securing customer commitments, and there can be no assurance that these issues will be resolved in a timely manner, which could materially and adversely impact the near-term marketing of this project and ability to secure customer commitments. In light of these developments, we are unable to predict when we and/or Cameron LNG JV might be able to move forward on this project.
The expansion of the Cameron LNG JV facilities beyond the first three trains is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including amending the Cameron LNG JV agreement among the partners, obtaining customer commitments, completing the required commercial agreements, securing and maintaining all necessary permits, approvals and consents, obtaining financing, reaching a final investment decision among the Cameron LNG JV partners, and other factors associated with the potential investment. See “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Other LNG Liquefaction Development
Design, regulatory and commercial activities are ongoing for potential LNG liquefaction developments at our Port Arthur, Texas site and at Sempra Mexico’s Energía Costa Azul facility. For these development projects, we have met with potential customers and determined there is an interest in long-term contracts for LNG supplies beginning in the 2022 to 2025 time frame.
Port Arthur
In November 2016, Sempra LNG & Midstream submitted a request to the FERC seeking authorization to site, construct and operate the proposed Port Arthur LNG natural gas liquefaction and export facility in Port Arthur, Texas.
The proposed project is designed to include
two natural gas liquefaction trains with production capability of approximately 13.5 Mtpa, or 698 Bcf per year;
three LNG storage tanks;
natural gas liquids and refrigerant storage;
feed gas pre-treatment facilities; and
two berths and associated marine and loading facilities.
In June 2015, Sempra LNG & Midstream filed permit applications with the DOE for authorization to export the LNG produced from the proposed project to all current and future non-FTA countries.
In August 2015, Sempra LNG & Midstream received authorization from the DOE to export the LNG produced from the proposed project to all current and future FTA countries.
In February 2016, Sempra LNG & Midstream and Woodside Petroleum Ltd. entered into a project development agreement for the joint development of the proposed Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project. The agreement specifies how the parties will share costs, and establishes a framework for the parties to work jointly on permitting, design, engineering, commercial and marketing activities associated with developing the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project.
In June 2017, Sempra LNG & Midstream, Woodside Petroleum Ltd. and Korea Gas Corporation signed a memorandum of understanding that provides a framework for cooperation and joint discussion by the parties regarding key aspects of the potential development of the Port Arthur LNG project, including engineering and construction work, O&M activities, feed gas sourcing, offtake of LNG and the potential for Korea Gas Corporation to purchase LNG from, and become an equity participant in, the Port

117



Arthur LNG project. The memorandum of understanding does not commit any party to buy or sell LNG or otherwise participate in the Port Arthur liquefaction LNG project.
Also, in November 2016, Sempra LNG & Midstream filed a permit application with the FERC for a pipeline project that will provide natural gas transportation service for the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project. In February 2017, Sempra LNG & Midstream initiated the FERC pre-filing review process for a potential permit application for an additional pipeline project that would also provide natural gas transportation service for the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project.
Development of the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including completing the required commercial agreements, such as joint venture agreements, LNG sales agreements and gas supply agreements; completing construction contracts; securing all necessary permits and approvals; obtaining financing and incentives; reaching a final investment decision; and other factors associated with the potential investment. See “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Energía Costa Azul
We further discuss Sempra LNG & Midstream’s participation in potential LNG liquefaction development at Sempra Mexico’s Energía Costa Azul facility above in “Sempra Mexico Energía Costa Azul LNG Terminal.”
Natural Gas Storage Assets
The future performance of our natural gas storage assets could be impacted by changes in the U.S. natural gas market, which could lead to sustained diminished natural gas storage values.
The recorded value of our long-lived natural gas storage assets at June 30, 2017 is $1.5 billion. Historically, the value of natural gas storage services has positively correlated with the difference between the seasonal prices of natural gas, among other factors. In general, over the past several years, seasonal differences in natural gas prices have declined, which have contributed to lower prices for storage services. As our legacy (higher rate) sales contracts mature at our Bay Gas and Mississippi Hub facilities, replacement sales contract rates have been and could continue to be lower than has historically been the case. Lower sales revenues may not be offset by cost reductions, which could lead to further depressed asset values. Future investment in Bay Gas, Mississippi Hub and LA Storage will be dependent on market demand and estimates of long-term storage values. Our LA Storage development project construction permit expired in June 2017 and future development will require approval of a new construction permit by the FERC. The LA Storage project also includes an existing 23.3-mile pipeline header system, the LA Storage pipeline, that is not currently contracted.
We perform recovery testing of our recorded asset values when market conditions indicate that such values may not be recoverable. In the event such values are not recoverable, we would consider the fair value of these assets relative to their recorded value. To the extent the recorded (carrying) value is in excess of the fair value, we would record a noncash impairment charge. A significant impairment charge related to our natural gas storage assets would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which it is recorded.

Before the effects of acquisition-related fair value adjustments, interest rate swaps, reductions/increases for unamortized discount/premium and reduction for debt issuance costs, and excluding capital lease obligations and build-to-suit lease.

Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis measures interest rate risk by calculating the estimated changes in earnings that would result from a hypothetical change in market interest rates. If interest rates changed by ten percent on all of Sempra Energy’s effective variable-rate, long-term debt at June 30, 2017, the change in earnings over the next 12-month period ending June 30, 2018 would be $4 million (after tax). These hypothetical changes in earnings are based on our long-term debt position after the effect of interest rate swaps.
FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION RATE RISK
We discuss our foreign currency and inflation exposure in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” herein and in the Annual Report. At June 30, 2017, there were no significant changes to our exposure to foreign currency rate risk since December 31, 2016.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas have designed and maintain disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed in their respective reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to the management of each company, including each respective principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating these controls and procedures, the management of each company recognizes that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives; therefore, the management of each company applies judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of other possible controls and procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officers and principal financial officers of Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas, each company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017, the end of the period covered by this report. As discussed below, we excluded Ventika and IEnova Pipelines (formerly known as GdC) from our evaluation of changes in Sempra Energy’s disclosure controls and procedures, to the extent subsumed by Ventika’s and IEnova Pipelines’ internal control over financial reporting. Based on these evaluations, the principal executive officers and principal financial officers of Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas concluded that their respective company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Other than the changes which may be associated with the 2016 acquisitions described below (which did not impact SDG&E or SoCalGas), there have been no changes in the companies’ internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the companies’ internal control over financial reporting.
As we discuss in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, we acquired Ventika in December 2016 and the remaining 50-percent interest in IEnova Pipelines (formerly known as GdC) in September 2016. The carrying value of Ventika’s net assets was $278 million or 1.8 percent of Sempra Energy’s net assets at June 30, 2017. Ventika’s losses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $23 million or 3.3 percent of total Sempra Energy earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The carrying value of IEnova Pipelines’ net assets was $2.3 billion or 14.9 percent of Sempra Energy’s net assets at June 30, 2017. IEnova Pipelines’ earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $20 million or 2.9 percent of total Sempra Energy earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2017. We are in the process of integrating Ventika and IEnova Pipelines. Our management is analyzing, evaluating and, where necessary, will implement changes in, Ventika’s and IEnova Pipelines’ controls and procedures. Due to the limited period of time since the acquisition dates, we have not had sufficient time to assess the internal controls of Ventika and IEnova Pipelines. Therefore, we excluded Ventika and IEnova Pipelines from our evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures above, to the extent subsumed by Ventika’s and IEnova Pipelines’ internal control over financial reporting. We intend to include Ventika and IEnova Pipelines in the overall assessment of, and report on, internal control over financial reporting as soon as practicable, but in no event later than one year from the respective acquisition dates.
