Sempra Energy Reports Higher Third-Quarter 2018 Earnings
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE) today reported third-quarter 2018 earnings of $274 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, up from $57 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2017.
On an adjusted basis, Sempra Energy's third-quarter 2018 earnings increased to $339 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, from $265 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2017.
"The most recent quarter was very strong - credit goes to our employees," said Jeffrey W. Martin, CEO of Sempra Energy. "All of our businesses contributed to our third-quarter operating results. We are building momentum, successfully executing on several major initiatives to advance our strategic vision of becoming North America's premier energy infrastructure company. Our agreement to sell our U.S. solar assets is important. We expect to utilize capital from our solar asset sales to significantly expand our regulated Texas utility platform through Oncor's acquisition of InfraREIT and our acquisition of a 50-percent interest in Sharyland. We also have made significant progress toward our goal of becoming a market leader in North American liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, recently securing preliminary commercial agreements for development of several LNG export projects."
For the first nine months of 2018, Sempra Energy's earnings were $60 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared with $757 million, or $2.99 per diluted share, in the first nine months last year. Adjusted earnings for the first nine months of 2018 were $1.07 billion, or $4 per diluted share, compared with $979 million, or $3.87 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2017.
These results reflect certain significant items as described in the following table of GAAP earnings reconciled to adjusted earnings (on an after-tax basis) for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018 and 2017:

OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS
Earlier today, Sempra Energy announced that its IEnova and Sempra LNG & Midstream subsidiaries have signed three Heads of Agreements (HOAs) with affiliates of Total S.A., Mistui & Co., Ltd., and Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd., for the full export capacity of Phase 1 of the Energia Costa Azul (ECA) LNG liquefaction project located in Baja California, Mexico. The HOAs contemplate the parties negotiating and finalizing definitive 20-year LNG sales-and-purchase agreements, with each of the companies purchasing approximately 0.8 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of LNG. ECA LNG Phase 1 is expected to include one liquefaction train capable of producing approximately 2.4 Mtpa of LNG.
Earlier this week, Sempra Energy announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Total S.A. that contemplates Total potentially contracting for up to 9 Mtpa of LNG offtake from Sempra Energy's LNG export development projects, including the approximately 0.8 Mtpa at ECA LNG Phase 1, as described above, and at Cameron LNG Phase 2. On Nov. 2, Sempra Energy announced that Cameron LNG has initiated the commissioning process for the first liquefaction train of Phase 1 of the Louisiana joint-venture export project. Commissioning is the last step before the start-up process, when the liquefaction trains become fully operational and LNG can be exported from the facility. The first three liquefaction trains that comprise Cameron LNG Phase 1 are expected to be producing LNG in 2019.
On Oct. 18, Sempra Energy announced that it and Oncor have entered into agreements under which Oncor will acquire 100 percent of the equity interests of InfraREIT, Inc. for $1.275 billion, excluding certain transaction costs, and Sempra Energy will acquire a 50-percent limited-partnership interest in a holding company that will own Sharyland Utilities, LP, for approximately $98 million. Sempra Energy expects to utilize approximately $1.12 billion, excluding certain transaction costs, from the company's pending solar asset sales to help fund the transaction, which is slated for completion in mid-2019, subject to regulatory approvals, lender consents and customary closing conditions.
On Sept. 20, Sempra Renewables entered into an agreement to sell all of its U.S. operating solar assets, one U.S. wind generation facility, and its solar and battery storage development projects to a subsidiary of Consolidated Edison for $1.54 billion, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. The sales process for the other announced asset sales - U.S. wind and U.S. non-utility natural gas storage assets - is ongoing.
Sempra Energy's Mexican subsidiary IEnova continues to expand its liquids business with the recent acquisition of a 51-percent equity interest in the Manzanillo marine terminal development project. IEnova will build the terminal, which is estimated to cost approximately $200 million, of which IEnova's share would be approximately $100 million. The project is expected to commence commercial operations in late 2020 and 50 percent of the terminal's capacity already is contracted to Trafigura Mexico, S.A. de C.V. In recent months, IEnova also announced new capacity agreements for the Baja Refinados and Topolobampo liquids terminals, both of which are now fully contracted.

the timing and success of business development efforts, major acquisitions such as our interest in Oncor, and construction projects, including risks in (i) timely obtaining or maintaining permits and other authorizations, (ii) completing construction projects on schedule and on budget, (iii) obtaining the consent and participation of partners and counterparties and their ability to fulfill contractual commitments, and (iv) not realizing anticipated benefits; 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; denial of approvals of proposed settlements; and delays in, or disallowance or denial of, regulatory agency authorizations to recover costs in rates from customers or regulatory agency approval for projects required to enhance safety and reliability; and moves to reduce or eliminate reliance on natural gas; the greater degree and prevalence of wildfires in California in recent years and risk that we may be found liable for damages regardless of fault, such as where inverse condemnation applies, and risk that we may not be able to recover any such costs in rates from customers in California; the availability of electric power and natural gas and natural gas storage capacity, including disruptions caused by failures in the transmission grid, limitations on the withdrawal or injection of natural gas from or into storage facilities, and equipment failures; risks posed by actions of third parties who control the operations of our investments; 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 harmful materials, 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), may be disputed by insurers or may otherwise not be recoverable through regulatory mechanisms or may impact our ability to obtain satisfactory levels of affordable insurance; 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; our ability to successfully execute our plan to divest certain non-utility assets within the anticipated timeframe, if at all, or that such plan may not yield the anticipated benefits; actions of activist shareholders, which could impact the market price of our equity and debt securities and disrupt our operations as a result of, among other things, requiring significant time and attention by management and our board of directors; changes in capital markets, energy markets and economic conditions, including the availability of credit and the liquidity of our investments; and volatility in inflation, interest and currency exchange rates and commodity prices and our ability to effectively hedge the risk of such volatility; the impact of recent federal tax reform and uncertainty as to how it may be applied, and our ability to mitigate adverse impacts; actions by credit rating agencies to downgrade our credit ratings or those of our subsidiaries or to place those ratings on negative outlook and our ability to borrow at favorable interest rates; changes in foreign and domestic trade policies and laws, including border tariffs, and revisions to or replacement of international trade agreements, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, that may increase our costs or impair our ability to resolve trade disputes; 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 San Diego Gas & Electric's (SDG&E) 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 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; Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC's (Oncor) ability to eliminate or reduce its quarterly dividends due to regulatory capital requirements and commitments, or the determination by Oncor's independent directors or a minority member director to retain such amounts to meet future requirements; and other uncertainties, some of which may be difficult to predict and are beyond our control.

Sempra Energy Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Common Share are non-GAAP financial measures (GAAP represents accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America). 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 Sempra Energy's business operations from 2018 to 2017 and to future periods. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplementary information that should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The table below reconciles for historical periods these non-GAAP financial measures to Sempra Energy GAAP Earnings and GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Common Share, which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Sempra Energy 2018 Adjusted Earnings-Per-Share Guidance is a non-GAAP financial measure. Because of the significance and/or nature of the excluded items, management believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides additional clarity into the ongoing results of the business and the comparability of such results to prior and future periods and also as a base for projected earnings-per-share compound annual growth rate. Sempra Energy 2018 Adjusted Earnings-Per-Share Guidance should not be considered an alternative to Earnings-Per-Share Guidance determined in accordance with GAAP.
