Advancing Critical Energy Infrastructure in North America

In August, Phase 1 of the Cameron LNG export facility in Hackberry, Louisiana, reached full commercial operations under Cameron LNG's tolling agreements. This marked the start of full run-rate earnings and cash flows. Sempra Energy's share of full run-rate earnings from the Phase 1 project is expected to be between $400 million and $450 million annually, with no commodity or volumetric exposure. Due to the structure of the tolling agreements at Cameron LNG, Sempra Energy does not expect any earnings impact as a result of the recent outages due to Hurricanes Laura and Delta on the U.S. Gulf Coast.

Sempra Energy continues to work closely with local authorities as well as the highest levels of the Mexican government to advance the export permit process for Energía Costa Azul (ECA) LNG Phase 1. The company expects to reach a final investment decision in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Phase 1 of ECA LNG's project is planned to be built and operated by Sempra LNG and Infraestructura Energética Nova, S.A.B. de C.V. (IEnova), Sempra Energy's subsidiary in Mexico, as a single-train liquefaction facility. Last year, ECA LNG received authorization from the U.S. Department of Energy to export U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and to re-export liquefied natural gas (LNG) to countries that do not have a free-trade agreement with the U.S.

ECA LNG has successfully secured definitive 20-year sale-and-purchase agreements with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and an affiliate of Total SE for the purchase of approximately 2.5 Mtpa of LNG from Phase 1 of the project.

In another development, the U.S. Department of Energy extended the terms of the export authorizations for Phase 1 of the proposed Port Arthur LNG export project through Dec. 31, 2050.

Additionally, IEnova is advancing construction of its Gulf of Mexico network of fuel terminals. All three terminals are backed by take-or-pay contracts with Valero Energy Corp. and, once completed, should contribute nearly 3.4 million barrels of combined refined products storage capacity, while improving Mexico's energy security. Notably, the Veracruz terminal is situated in the largest Mexican port on the Gulf Coast and is expected to be one of the largest terminals in Mexico.

Executing Capital Plans and Driving Sustainability at U.S. Utilities

Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (Oncor) today announced its 2021-2025 capital plan of $12.2 billion. This is a $300 million increase over Oncor's previous 2020-2024 capital plan and is a result of new growth capital required across the system, increased maintenance on the transmission system, including investments to enhance the safety and reliability of service, and continued investment in technology and innovation. Additionally, Oncor recently issued its inaugural sustainable bond with proceeds expected to finance or refinance expenditures with minority- and women-owned business suppliers.

San Diego Gas & Electric Co. (SDG&E) and Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) continue to execute on their record five-year capital investment plans. These plans are centered on enhancing safety, improving system reliability, and reducing energy-related emissions. Further, SDG&E has announced a new sustainability strategy that includes a commitment to place two green hydrogen projects into service by 2022, aiming to offer long-duration energy storage, increased system resiliency and reduced carbon intensity. In addition, SoCalGas has announced its participation in three research and development projects that are designed to advance fuel cell technology for trucking and transit and near-zero emissions natural gas technology for rail locomotives.

Investing in a High-Performing Culture

Sempra Energy is committed to creating long-term value by managing environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities. The company has a long-standing history of prioritizing diversity and inclusion to advance its high-performance culture and is continuing to build upon those efforts.

Last month, Sempra Energy received three awards recognizing its leadership position in diversity, inclusion and sustainability. Forbes and JUST Capital named Sempra Energy to the Forbes JUST 100 list, which is intended to recognize companies that are doing right by all their stakeholders, including employees, customers, communities, the environment and shareholders.

Additionally, Sempra Energy received the National Association of Corporate Directors' NXT Award, recognizing boards for their excellence in utilizing diversity and inclusion as a strategy for building long-term value for their companies. The National Organization on Disability also recently recognized Sempra Energy as a 2020 Leading Disability Employer for adopting exemplary employment practices for people with disabilities.

Earnings Guidance

As a result of the company's strong execution and financial results, Sempra Energy is reaffirming and guiding to the high end of both its full-year 2020 GAAP earnings-per-common-share (EPS) guidance range of $12.50 to $13.10 and adjusted EPS guidance range of $7.20 to $7.80. Additionally, Sempra Energy is reaffirming its full-year 2021 EPS guidance range of $7.50 to $8.10.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures include Sempra Energy's adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS for the third quarters and first nine months of 2020 and 2019, adjusted diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for the first nine months of 2020 and third quarter of 2019, and full-year 2020 adjusted EPS guidance range.

Sempra Energy Adjusted Earnings, Weighted-Average Common 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 to prior and future periods. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplementary information that should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The table below reconciles for historical periods these non-GAAP financial measures to Sempra Energy GAAP Earnings, Weighted-Average Common Shares Outstanding - GAAP and GAAP EPS, which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

     (1) Except for adjustments that are
              solely income tax and tax related
              to outside basis differences,
              income taxes were primarily
              calculated based on applicable
              statutory tax rates. We did not
              record an income tax benefit for
              the equity losses from our
              investment in RBS Sempra
              Commodities LLP because, even
              though a portion of the
              liabilities may be deductible
              under United Kingdom tax law, it
              is not probable that the deduction
              will reduce United Kingdom taxes.



     
     (2) In the three months ended September
              30, 2019, because the assumed
              conversion of the series A
              preferred stock is antidilutive
              for Adjusted Earnings, 13,238
              series A preferred stock shares
              are excluded from the denominator
              used to calculate Adjusted EPS.



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

RECONCILIATION OF SEMPRA ENERGY 2020 ADJUSTED EPS GUIDANCE RANGE TO SEMPRA ENERGY 2020 GAAP EPS GUIDANCE RANGE (Unaudited)

Sempra Energy 2020 Adjusted EPS Guidance Range of $7.20 to $7.80 excludes items (after the effects of income taxes and, if applicable, noncontrolling interests) as follows:

    --  $(94) million from impacts associated with Aliso Canyon natural gas
        storage facility litigation and regulatory matters at SoCalGas
    --  $(100) million equity losses at RBS Sempra Commodities LLP, which
        represent an estimate of our obligations to settle pending tax matters
        and related legal costs at our equity method investment at Parent and
        Other
    --  $1,747 million gain on the sale of our South American businesses

Sempra Energy 2020 Adjusted EPS Guidance is a non-GAAP financial measure. Because of the significance and/or nature of the excluded items, management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides a meaningful comparison of the performance of Sempra Energy's business operations to prior and future periods. Sempra Energy 2020 Adjusted EPS Guidance should not be considered an alternative to Sempra Energy 2020 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. The table below reconciles Sempra Energy 2020 Adjusted EPS Guidance Range to Sempra Energy 2020 GAAP EPS Guidance Range, which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

     (1) Sempra Energy's prior GAAP EPS
              guidance range for full-year
              2020 has been updated to reflect
              additional impacts associated
              with the Aliso Canyon natural
              gas storage facility litigation
              and regulatory matters, and
              post-closing adjustments with
              respect to the sale of our
              Chilean businesses.



     
     (2) Weighted-average common shares
              outstanding does not include
              the dilutive effect of
              mandatory convertible preferred
              stock, as they are assumed to
              be antidilutive for full-year
              2020. If such mandatory
              convertible preferred stock
              were dilutive for the full
              year, the 2020 GAAP EPS
              Guidance Range would differ
              from the range presented above.

     (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.

              sale of our South American
              businesses in the second quarter
