OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS

In April, Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (Oncor) and Sempra Energy reached a settlement agreement with several Texas stakeholders for Oncor's proposed acquisition of InfraREIT, Inc. and Sempra Energy's proposed acquisition of 50% of Sharyland Utilities, LP.

The last regulatory step in the transaction is approval of a final order from the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT). If approved by the PUCT, Oncor and Sempra Energy expect to close the transaction in mid-2019.

San Diego Gas & Electric Company and Southern California Gas Co. are awaiting a proposed decision for their 2019 General Rate Case from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which is expected in mid-2019. Additionally, the California utilities filed their application in the Cost-of-Capital proceeding with the CPUC on April 22.

Sempra Energy also announced in April that Cameron LNG has begun pipeline feed gas flow to the first liquefaction train, which is the final commissioning step for Train 1 of the liquefaction-export facility in Hackberry, La. Production of LNG at the facility is expected to occur this quarter.

In March, Sempra Energy also increased its projected share of full run-rate earnings from the first three trains at Cameron LNG to be between $400 million and $450 million annually, up from the previous projection of $365 million to $425 million. Sempra Energy expects to begin recognizing earnings from Train 1 in mid-2019.

Additionally, IEnova recently announced two new capacity contracts with a global integrated oil company. This included an additional contract for 740,000 barrels of storage at the previously announced Manzanillo marine terminal development project, as well as the storage of up to 290,000 barrels of capacity at a new storage terminal project in Guadalajara. The Guadalajara terminal is IEnova's seventh terminal project and one of 12 projects currently in development or under construction.

The sales process of Sempra Energy's equity interests in its South American businesses, including its 83.6% stake in Luz del Sur S.A.A. in Peru and 100% stake in Chilquinta Energía S.A. in Chile, also remains on track. First-round bids are expected in June.

Sempra Energy today affirmed its 2019 adjusted earnings-per-share guidance range of $5.70 to $6.30 and 2020 earnings-per-share guidance range of $6.70 to $7.50. The earnings-per-share guidance range for 2020 does not include impacts from the planned sale of Sempra Energy's South American businesses.

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

Sempra Energy Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Common Share (Adjusted EPS) exclude items in 2019 and 2018 as follows:

Three months ended March 31, 2019:
Associated with holding the South American businesses for sale:

    --  $(103) million income tax expense from outside basis differences in our
        South American businesses primarily related to the change in our
        indefinite reinvestment assertion from our decision in January 2019 to
        hold these businesses for sale
    --  $10 million income tax benefit from a reduction in a valuation allowance
        against certain net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards as a result of
        our decision to sell our South American businesses

Three months ended March 31, 2018:

    --  $(25) million income tax expense to adjust the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of
        2017 (TCJA) provisional amounts recorded in 2017

Sempra Energy Adjusted Earnings, Weighted-Average Shares Outstanding - Adjusted and Adjusted EPS 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 2019 to 2018 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, Weighted-Average Shares Outstanding - GAAP and GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Common Share (GAAP EPS), which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

     (1) In the three months ended March

                of the series A preferred stock
                and the series B preferred stock
                are antidilutive for GAAP
                earnings, however, the series A
                preferred stock is dilutive for
                the higher Adjusted Earnings. As
                such, the series A preferred
                stock dividends of $26 million
                have been added back to the
                numerator and the dilutive
                effect of the series A preferred
                stock shares of 13,951 has been
                added to the denominator when
                calculating Adjusted EPS.

SEMPRA ENERGY 2019 ADJUSTED EPS GUIDANCE RANGE (Unaudited)

Sempra Energy 2019 Adjusted EPS Guidance Range of $5.70 to $6.30 excludes:

    --  $103 million income tax expense recorded in the first quarter of 2019
        from outside basis differences in our South American businesses
        primarily related to the change in our indefinite reinvestment assertion
        from our decision in January 2019 to hold these businesses for sale
    --  $10 million income tax benefit from a reduction in a valuation allowance
        against certain NOL carryforwards as a result of our decision to sell
        our South American businesses
    --  an approximate $35 million after-tax((1)) (approximately $50 million
        pretax) gain, plus working capital and other customary adjustments,
        related to our sale of the remaining U.S. renewables assets and
        investments to American Electric Power, which closed in April 2019
    --  any potential gain from the planned sale of our South American
        businesses

Sempra Energy 2019 Adjusted EPS Guidance is a non-GAAP financial measure. Because of the significance and nature of the excluded items, management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides better clarity into the ongoing results of the business and the comparability of such results to prior and future periods. Sempra Energy 2019 Adjusted EPS Guidance should not be considered an alternative to GAAP EPS Guidance. 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. Because the sale process for the planned divestiture of our South American businesses initiated in January 2019 is ongoing, the terms and structure of any potential sale transaction or transactions are unknown, including the terms that would impact the final income tax expense resulting from the expected change in our assertion regarding indefinite reinvestment of foreign undistributed earnings, including timing and amounts of repatriation of such earnings. As a result, 2019 GAAP EPS Guidance, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, is inestimable.

     (1) Management believes Income (Loss)
                Before Interest and Tax is a useful
                measurement of our segments'
                performance because it can be used
                to evaluate the effectiveness of our
                operations exclusive of interest and
                income tax, neither of which is
                directly relevant to the efficiency
                of those operations.





     
     
     (2) Amounts have been retrospectively
                adjusted for discontinued
                operations.
