INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We make statements in this report that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions with respect to the future, involve risks and uncertainties, and are not guarantees. Future results may differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. 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, forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “confident,” “may,” “can,” “potential,” “possible,” “proposed,” “target,” “pursue,” “outlook,” “maintain,” or similar expressions, or when we discuss our guidance, strategy, goals, vision, mission, opportunities, projections or intentions.

Factors, among others, that could cause our actual results and future actions to differ materially from those described in any forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties relating to:

▪California wildfires, including the risk that we may be found liable for damages regardless of fault and the risk that we may not be able to recover any such costs from insurance, the Wildfire Fund or in rates from customers;

▪decisions, investigations, regulations, issuances of permits and other authorizations, renewals of franchises, and other actions by (i) the CFE, CPUC, DOE, PUCT, and other regulatory and governmental bodies and (ii) states, counties, cities and other jurisdictions in the U.S., Mexico and other countries in which we operate or do business;

▪the success of business development efforts, construction projects and major acquisitions and divestitures, including risks in (i) the ability to make a final investment decision, (ii) completing construction projects on schedule and budget, (iii) the ability to realize anticipated benefits from any of these efforts once completed, and (iv) obtaining the consent of partners;

▪the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our (i) ability to commence and complete capital and other projects and obtain regulatory approvals, (ii) supply chain and current and prospective counterparties, contractors, customers, employees and partners, (iii) liquidity, resulting from bill payment challenges experienced by our customers, including in connection with a CPUC-ordered suspension of service disconnections, decreased stability and accessibility of the capital markets and other factors, and (iv) ability to sustain operations and satisfy compliance requirements due to social distancing measures or if employee absenteeism were to increase significantly;

▪the resolution of civil and criminal litigation, regulatory inquiries, investigations and proceedings, and arbitrations;

▪actions by credit rating agencies to downgrade our credit ratings or to place those ratings on negative outlook and our ability to borrow at favorable interest rates;

▪moves to reduce or eliminate reliance on natural gas and the impact of the extreme volatility of oil prices on our businesses and development projects;

▪weather, natural disasters, accidents, equipment failures, computer system outages and other events that disrupt our operations, damage our facilities and systems, cause the release of harmful materials, cause fires and subject us to 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;

▪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 of natural gas from storage facilities, and equipment failures;

▪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;

▪expropriation of assets, the failure of foreign governments and state-owned entities to honor the terms of contracts, and property disputes;

▪the impact at SDG&E on competitive customer rates and reliability due to the growth in distributed and local power generation, including from departing retail load resulting from customers transferring to Direct Access, Community Choice Aggregation or other forms of distributed or local power generation, and the risk of nonrecovery for stranded assets and contractual obligations;

▪Oncor’s ability to eliminate or reduce its quarterly dividends due to regulatory and governance requirements and commitments, including by actions of Oncor’s independent directors or a minority member director;

▪volatility in foreign currency exchange, interest and inflation rates and commodity prices and our ability to effectively hedge the risk of such volatility;

▪changes in tax and trade policies, laws and regulations, including tariffs and revisions to or replacement of international trade agreements, such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, that may increase our costs or impair our ability to resolve trade disputes; and

7

▪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, in our Annual Report and in other reports that we file with the SEC.

SEMPRA ENERGY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND OTHER FINANCIAL DATA

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Sempra Energy

Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Sempra Energy, a California-based energy-services holding company, and its consolidated subsidiaries and VIEs. Sempra Global is the holding company for most of our subsidiaries that are not subject to California or Texas utility regulation. Sempra Energy’s businesses were managed within six separate reportable segments until April 2019 and five separate reportable segments thereafter, which we discuss in Note 12. All references in these Notes to our 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 was the primary beneficiary until August 23, 2019, at which time SDG&E deconsolidated the VIE. 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.

In this report, we refer to SDG&E and SoCalGas collectively as the California Utilities.

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,” “us,” “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 (until deconsolidation of Otay Mesa VIE in August 2019); 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 and applicable rules of the SEC. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year or for any other period. We evaluated events and transactions that occurred after September 30, 2020 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, 2019 balance sheet information in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been derived from our audited 2019 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.

29

We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report and the impact of the adoption of new accounting standards on those policies in Note 2 below. We follow the same accounting policies for interim period reporting purposes.

You should read the information in this report in conjunction with the Annual Report.

Discontinued Operations

In January 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses based on our strategic focus on North America. We determined that these businesses, which previously constituted the Sempra South American Utilities segment, and certain activities associated with these businesses, met the held-for-sale criteria. These businesses are presented as discontinued operations, which we discuss further in Note 5, as the sales represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. We completed the sales in the second quarter of 2020. Our discussions in the Notes below relate only to our continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

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 revenue recognition and the effects of regulation at our utilities in Notes 3 and 4 below and in Notes 1, 3 and 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Our Sempra Texas Utilities segment is comprised of our equity method investments in holding companies that own interests in regulated electric transmission and distribution utilities in Texas.

Our Sempra Mexico segment includes the operating companies of our subsidiary, IEnova, as well as certain holding companies and risk management activity. Certain business activities at IEnova are regulated by the CRE and meet the regulatory accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP. Pipeline projects under construction at IEnova that meet the regulatory accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP record the impact of AFUDC related to equity. We discuss AFUDC below and in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the sum of such amounts reported on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We provide information about the nature of restricted cash in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

RECONCILIATION OF CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH
(Dollars in millions)
	September 30,		December 31,
	2020		2019
Sempra Energy Consolidated:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	3,515	$	108
Restricted cash, current	28		31
Restricted cash, noncurrent	3		3
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in discontinued operations	—		75
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows	$	3,546	$	217

In the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the ending cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance in discontinued operations of $4.6 billion is considered to be cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for continuing operations following the sales of the South American businesses.

CREDIT LOSSES

We are exposed to credit losses from financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other accounts receivable and amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates. We are also exposed to credit losses from off-balance sheet arrangements through our guarantees of Cameron LNG JV’s debt.

We regularly monitor and evaluate credit losses and record allowances for expected credit losses, if necessary, for trade and other accounts receivable using a combination of factors, including past-due status based on contractual terms, trends in write-offs, the age of the receivable, historical and industry trends, counterparty creditworthiness, economic conditions and specific events, such as bankruptcies. We write off financial assets measured at amortized cost in the period in which we determine they are not recoverable. We record recoveries of amounts previously written off when it is known that they will be recovered.

In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the California Utilities have implemented certain measures to assist customers, including suspending service disconnections due to nonpayment for residential and small business customers, waiving late payment fees for business customers, and offering flexible payment plans for customers experiencing difficulty paying their electric or gas bills. As we discuss in Note 4, the CPUC authorized each of the California Utilities to establish a CPPMA to track and request recovery of incremental costs, including uncollectible expenses, associated with complying with residential and small business customer protection measures implemented by the CPUC related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In June 2020, the CPUC issued a decision in a separate proceeding addressing service disconnections that, among other things, allows each of the California Utilities to establish a two-way balancing account to record the uncollectible expenses associated with residential customers’ inability to pay their electric or gas bills. This decision also directs the California Utilities to establish an AMP that provides successfully participating, income-qualified residential customers with relief from outstanding utility bill amounts. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion.

The California Utilities have recorded increases in their allowances for expected credit losses as of September 30, 2020 primarily related to expected forgiveness of outstanding utility bill amounts for residential customers eligible under the AMP. Our businesses will continue to monitor macroeconomic factors and customer payment patterns when evaluating their allowances for credit losses in future reporting periods, which may increase significantly due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors.

We provide below allowances and changes in allowances for credit losses for trade and other accounts receivable, excluding allowances related to amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates and off-balance sheet arrangements, which we discuss separately below the table.

TRADE AND OTHER ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE – ALLOWANCES FOR CREDIT LOSSES
(Dollars in millions)

Provisions for expected credit losses	84		44		40
Write-offs	(11)		(6)		(5)
Allowances for credit losses at September 30, 2020	$	103	$	52	$	50

(1)     Balance at September 30, 2020 includes $75 million and $28 million in Accounts Receivable – Trade, Net and Accounts Receivable – Other, Net, respectively.

(2)    Balance at September 30, 2020 includes $37 million and $15 million in Accounts Receivable – Trade, Net and Accounts Receivable – Other, Net, respectively.

(3)    Balance at September 30, 2020 includes $37 million and $13 million in Accounts Receivable – Trade, Net and Accounts Receivable – Other, Net, respectively.

For amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates and off-balance sheet arrangements, on a quarterly basis, we evaluate credit losses and record allowances for expected credit losses, if necessary, based on credit quality indicators such as external credit ratings, published default rate studies, the maturity date of the instrument and past delinquencies. However, we do not record allowances for expected credit losses related to accrued interest receivable on loans due from unconsolidated affiliates because we write off such amounts, if any, through a reversal of interest income in the period we determine such amounts are uncollectible. In the absence of external credit ratings, we may utilize an internally developed credit rating based on our analysis of a counterparty’s financial statements to determine our expected credit losses.

31

As we discuss below in “Transactions with Affiliates,” we have loans due from unconsolidated affiliates with varying tenors, interest rates and currencies. We provide below the changes in allowances for credit losses for loans and other amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates.

AMOUNTS DUE FROM UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES – ALLOWANCES FOR CREDIT LOSSES
(Dollars in millions)
	Sempra Energy Consolidated(1)
Allowances for credit losses at December 31, 2019	$	—
Allowance established upon adoption of ASU 2016-13	6
Reduction to expected credit losses	(3)
Allowances for credit losses at September 30, 2020	$	3

(1)    Balance at September 30, 2020 includes negligible amounts and $3 million in Due from Unconsolidated Affiliates – Current and Due from Unconsolidated Affiliates – Noncurrent, respectively.

As we discuss in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, Sempra Energy has provided guarantees for a maximum aggregate amount of $4.0 billion associated with Cameron LNG JV’s debt obligations. We established a liability for credit losses of $6 million for this off-balance sheet arrangement upon adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 and we subsequently reduced this liability by $3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 through a reduction to credit loss expense, which is included in O&M on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. At September 30, 2020, expected credit losses of $3 million are included in Other Current Liabilities on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk of loss that would be incurred as a result of nonperformance by our counterparties on their contractual obligations. We have policies governing the management of credit risk that are administered by the respective credit departments at each of our segments and overseen by their separate risk management committees.

This oversight includes calculating current and potential credit risk on a regular basis and monitoring actual balances in comparison to approved limits. We establish credit limits based on risk and return considerations under terms customarily available in the industry. We avoid concentration of counterparties whenever possible, and we believe our credit policies significantly reduce overall credit risk. These policies include an evaluation of:

▪prospective counterparties’ financial condition (including credit ratings)

▪collateral requirements

▪the use of standardized agreements that allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures associated with a single counterparty

▪downgrade triggers

We believe that we have provided adequate reserves for counterparty nonperformance in our allowances for credit losses.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, four customers each represented 10% or more of Sempra Mexico’s revenues (including intercompany transactions with affiliates consolidated by Sempra Energy). Additionally, for the same period, certain of our unconsolidated equity method investees (Oncor Holdings, Cameron LNG JV and IMG JV) had customers that each represented 10% or more of their respective revenues.

When our development projects become operational, we rely significantly on the ability of suppliers to perform under long-term agreements and on our ability to enforce contract terms in the event of nonperformance. Also, the factors that we consider in evaluating a development project include negotiating customer and supplier agreements and, therefore, we rely on these agreements for future performance. We also may condition our decision to go forward on development projects on first obtaining these customer and supplier agreements.

WILDFIRE FUND

On July 12, 2019, the Wildfire Legislation was signed into law to address certain issues related to catastrophic wildfires in the State of California and their impact on electric IOUs. We discuss the Wildfire Legislation further in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

In a complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in July 2019, plaintiffs seek to invalidate AB 1054, which established the Wildfire Fund, based on allegations that the legislation violates federal law. That court dismissed the complaint and the plaintiffs have petitioned the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to review the dismissal.

In June 2020, the CPUC approved SDG&E’s 2020 wildfire mitigation plan, which will be effective until the CPUC approves a new plan. In addition, on September 14, 2020, SDG&E received its 2020 safety certification from the Wildfire Safety Division of the CPUC. The certificate is valid for 12 months from the issue date.

In July 2020, PG&E received bankruptcy court approval to participate in the Wildfire Fund and has made its required contributions to the Wildfire Fund. As a result of PG&E’s participation, the Wildfire Fund will be funded up to $21 billion.

Wildfire Fund Asset and Obligation

In the third quarter of 2019, SDG&E recorded both a Wildfire Fund asset and a related obligation of $451.5 million for its commitment to make shareholder contributions to the Wildfire Fund, measured at present value as of July 25, 2019 (the date by which both Edison and SDG&E opted to contribute to the Wildfire Fund). SDG&E is amortizing the Wildfire Fund asset on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of benefit, as adjusted for utilization by the participating IOUs. The estimated period of benefit of the Wildfire Fund asset is 15 years. SDG&E expects to make annual shareholder contributions of $12.9 million through December 31, 2028. SDG&E accretes the present value of the Wildfire Fund obligation until the liability is settled.

SDG&E periodically evaluates the estimated period of benefit of the Wildfire Fund asset based on actual experience and changes in assumptions. SDG&E may recognize a reduction of its Wildfire Fund asset and record a charge against earnings in the period when there is a reduction of the available coverage due to recoverable claims from any of the participating IOUs. Wildfire claims that are recoverable from the Wildfire Fund, net of anticipated or actual reimbursement to the Wildfire Fund by the responsible IOU, would decrease the Wildfire Fund asset and remaining available coverage. Although California has experienced some of the largest wildfires in its history in 2020 (measured by acres burned), including fires in each participating IOU’s service territory, SDG&E is not aware of any claims made by any participating IOU requiring a reduction of the Wildfire Fund asset.

We capitalize interest costs incurred to finance capital projects and interest at equity method investments that have not commenced planned principal operations.

The table below summarizes capitalized interest and AFUDC.

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 the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE.

We will continue to evaluate our VIEs for any changes that may impact our determination of whether an entity is a VIE and if we are the primary beneficiary.

SDG&E

SDG&E’s power procurement is subject to reliability requirements that may require SDG&E to enter into various PPAs that 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.

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 on 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

34

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 it considers 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 SDG&E determines that it is the primary beneficiary, SDG&E and Sempra Energy consolidate the entity that owns the facility as a VIE.

In addition to tolling agreements, other variable interests involve various elements of fuel and power costs, and other components of cash flows 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, including the operation and maintenance activities of the generating facility, that most significantly impact the economic performance of the other VIEs. 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.

SDG&E determined that none of its contracts resulted in SDG&E being the primary beneficiary of a VIE at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities that relate to SDG&E’s involvement with VIEs where SDG&E is not the primary beneficiary are included in PP&E and finance lease liabilities with balances of $1,242 million and $1,255 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. SDG&E recovers costs incurred on PPAs, tolling agreements and other variable interests through CPUC-approved long-term power procurement plans. SDG&E has no residual interest in the respective entities and has not provided or guaranteed any debt or equity support, liquidity arrangements, performance guarantees or other commitments associated with these contracts other than the purchase commitments described in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. As a result, SDG&E’s potential exposure to loss from its variable interest in these VIEs is not significant.

Sempra Texas Utilities

Our 100% interest in Oncor Holdings is a VIE that owns an 80.25% interest in Oncor. Sempra Energy is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE because of the structural and operational ring-fencing and governance measures in place that prevent us from having the power to direct the significant activities of Oncor Holdings. As a result, we do not consolidate Oncor Holdings and instead account for our ownership interest as an equity method investment. See Note 6 for additional information about our equity method investment in Oncor Holdings and restrictions on our ability to influence its activities. Our maximum exposure to loss, which fluctuates over time, from our interest in Oncor Holdings does not exceed the carrying value of our investment, which was $11,962 million at September 30, 2020 and $11,519 million at December 31, 2019.

Sempra Mexico

Sempra Mexico’s businesses also enter into arrangements that 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 or project companies that are VIEs because the total equity at risk is not sufficient for the entities to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support. If we are the primary beneficiary of these companies, we consolidate them. At December 31, 2019, Sempra Mexico consolidated a VIE with assets totaling approximately $126 million, which consisted primarily of PP&E and other long-term assets.

Sempra LNG

Cameron LNG JV is a VIE principally due to contractual provisions that transfer certain risks to customers. Sempra Energy is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE because we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of Cameron LNG JV, and therefore, we account for our investment in Cameron LNG JV under the equity method. The carrying value of our investment, including amounts recognized in AOCI related to interest-rate cash flow hedges at Cameron LNG JV, was $433 million at September 30, 2020 and $1,256 million at December 31, 2019. Our maximum exposure to loss, which fluctuates over time, includes the carrying value of our investment and guarantees that we discuss in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

As we discuss in Note 6, in July 2020, Sempra Energy entered into a Support Agreement for the benefit of CFIN that is a VIE. Since we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE, we are not the primary beneficiary. The conditional obligations of the Support Agreement represent a variable interest that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis (see Note 9). Sempra Energy’s maximum exposure to loss under the terms of the Support Agreement is $979 million.

PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

Settlement Accounting for Lump Sum Payments

Sempra Energy recorded settlement charges of $13 million and $22 million in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, in net periodic benefit cost for lump sum payments from its nonqualified pension plan that were in excess of the plan’s service cost plus interest cost.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Sempra Energy recorded settlement charges of $22 million in net periodic benefit cost for lump sum payments from its nonqualified pension plan that were in excess of the plan’s service cost plus interest cost.

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 $469 million and $488 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

SEMPRA ENERGY EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shares (from both continuing and discontinued operations) 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)    In the three months ended September 30, 2019, due to the dilutive effect of our series A preferred stock, the numerator used to calculate diluted EPS includes an add-back of dividends declared on our series A preferred stock.

(2)    Includes 535 and 618 average fully vested RSUs held in our Deferred Compensation Plan for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 536 and 615 of such RSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 common stock and the comparative indices used to determine the vesting percentage of our total shareholder return performance-based RSUs, which we discuss in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, dilutive RSUs may vary widely from period-to-period.

39

The potentially dilutive impact from stock options 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2020 excludes 142,100 and 204,426 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, because to include them would be antidilutive for the period. The computation of diluted EPS for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 excludes zero and 107,042, respectively, of such potentially dilutive shares. However, these shares could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future.

The potentially dilutive impact from the forward sale of our common stock pursuant to forward sale agreements that we entered into in 2018 and fully settled by the end of 2019 is reflected in our diluted EPS calculation using the treasury stock method until settlement. After settlement, those shares are included in weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic EPS.

The potentially dilutive impact from mandatory convertible preferred stock is calculated under the if-converted method. The computation of diluted EPS for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 excludes 19,292,641 potentially dilutive shares and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 excludes 4,219,350 and 17,457,000 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, because to include them would be antidilutive for those periods. However, these shares could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future.

Pursuant to our Sempra Energy share-based compensation plans, the compensation committee of Sempra Energy’s board of directors granted 154,860 nonqualified stock options that vest over a three-year period, 265,236 performance-based RSUs and 163,475 service-based RSUs in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily in January.

We discuss share-based compensation plans and related awards and the terms and conditions of Sempra Energy’s equity securities further in Notes 10, 13 and 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Sempra Energy Series A Preferred Stock

The terms of our series A preferred stock require a notice to holders when the aggregate adjustment to the conversion rates at which shares of series A preferred stock are convertible into shares of Sempra Energy common stock is more than 1%. On July 6, 2020, we notified the holders of the series A preferred stock of such an adjustment. These adjustments, which resulted from the incremental impact of our second quarter dividend declared on our common stock and which became effective as of June 25, 2020, the ex-dividend date for such dividend, include adjustments to the minimum and maximum conversion rates and the related initial and threshold appreciation prices as shown in the following table:

CONVERSION RATES
Applicable market value per share of our common stock	Conversion rate (number of shares of our common stock to be received upon conversion of each share of series A preferred stock)
Greater than $129.668 (which is the adjusted threshold appreciation price)	0.7712 shares (equal to $100.00 divided by the adjusted threshold appreciation price)
Equal to or less than $129.668 but greater than or equal to $105.8425	Between 0.7712 and 0.9448 shares, determined by dividing $100.00 by the applicable market value of our common stock
Less than $105.8425 (which is the adjusted initial price)	0.9448 shares (equal to $100.00 divided by the adjusted initial price)

Sempra Energy Series C Preferred Stock

On June 19, 2020, we issued 900,000 shares of our 4.875% fixed-rate reset cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock, series C (series C preferred stock) in a registered public offering at a price to the public of $1,000 per share and received net proceeds of $889 million after deducting the underwriting discount and equity issuance costs of $11 million. We used the net proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness.

Liquidation Preference

Each share of series C preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) on such share.

Redemption at the Option of Sempra Energy

The shares of series C preferred stock are perpetual and have no maturity date. However, we may, at our option, redeem the series C preferred stock in whole or in part, from time to time, on any day during the period from and including the July 15 immediately preceding October 15, 2025 and October 15 of every fifth year after 2025 through and including such October 15 at a redemption price in cash equal to $1,000 per share. Additionally, in the event that a credit rating agency then publishing a rating for us makes certain amendments, clarifications or changes to the criteria it uses to assign equity credit to securities such as the series C preferred stock (Ratings Event), we may redeem the series C preferred stock, in whole but not in part, at any time within 120 days after the conclusion of any review or appeal process instituted by us following the occurrence of the Ratings Event or, if no such review or appeal process is available or sought, the occurrence of such Ratings Event, at a redemption price in cash equal to $1,020 per share (102% of the liquidation preference per share).

Dividends

Dividends on the series C preferred stock, when, as and if declared by our board of directors or an authorized committee thereof, are payable in cash, on a cumulative basis, semi-annually in arrears beginning on October 15, 2020. Dividends on the series C preferred stock will be cumulative:

▪whether or not we have earnings;

▪whether or not the payment of such dividends is then permitted under California law;

▪whether or not such dividends are authorized or declared; and

▪whether or not any agreements to which we are a party prohibit the current payment of dividends, including any agreement relating to our indebtedness.

45

We accrue dividends on the series C preferred stock on a monthly basis. The dividend rate from and including June 19, 2020 to, but excluding, October 15, 2025 is 4.875% per annum of the $1,000 liquidation preference per share. The dividend rate will reset on October 15, 2025 and on October 15 of every fifth year after 2025 and, for each five-year period following such reset dates, will be a per annum rate equal to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate as of the second business day prior to such reset date, plus a spread of 4.550%, of the $1,000 liquidation preference per share.

Voting Rights

The holders of series C preferred stock do not have any voting rights, except with respect to any authorization, creation or increase in the authorized amount of any class or series of capital stock ranking senior to the series C preferred stock, certain amendments to the terms of the series C preferred stock, in certain other limited circumstances and as otherwise specifically required by California law. In addition, whenever dividends on any shares of series C preferred stock have not been declared and paid or have been declared but not paid for three or more dividend periods, whether or not consecutive, the authorized number of directors on our board of directors will automatically be increased by two and the holders of the series C preferred stock, voting together as a single class with holders of any and all other outstanding series of preferred stock of equal rank having similar voting rights, will be entitled to elect two directors to fill such two newly created directorships. This voting right will terminate when all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the series C preferred stock have been paid in full and, upon such termination and the termination of the same voting rights of all other holders of outstanding series of preferred stock that have such voting rights, the term of office of each director elected pursuant to such rights will terminate and the authorized number of directors will automatically decrease by two, subject to the revesting of such rights in the event of each subsequent nonpayment.

Ranking

The series C preferred stock ranks, with respect to dividend rights and distribution rights upon our liquidation, winding-up or dissolution:

▪senior to our common stock and each other class or series of our capital stock established in the future, unless the terms of such capital stock expressly provide otherwise;

▪on parity with our outstanding series A preferred stock and series B preferred stock and each class or series of our capital stock established in the future if the terms of such capital stock provide that it ranks on parity with the series C preferred stock;

•junior to each class or series of our capital stock established in the future, if the terms of such capital stock provide that it ranks senior to the series C preferred stock;

▪junior to our existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities; and

•structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries and capital stock of our subsidiaries held by third parties.

Settlement of Sempra Energy Common Stock Forward Sale Agreements

In the third quarter of 2019, we received $728 million (net of underwriting discounts of $13 million) from the settlement of 7,156,185 shares of our common stock at a forward sale price of $101.74 related to our January 2018 offering. We provide additional information regarding the common stock offering in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Sempra Energy Common Stock Repurchases

On September 11, 2007, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of shares of our common stock, provided that the amounts spent for such purpose do not exceed the greater of $2 billion or amounts spent to purchase no more than 40 million shares. On July 1, 2020, we entered into an ASR program under which we prepaid $500 million to repurchase shares of our common stock in a share forward transaction. The total number of shares purchased was determined by dividing the $500 million purchase price by the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average trading prices of shares of our common stock during the valuation period of July 2, 2020 through August 4, 2020, minus a fixed discount. The program was completed on August 4, 2020 with an aggregate of 4,089,375 shares of Sempra Energy common stock repurchased at an average price of $122.27 per share. Following the completion of the ASR program, the aggregate dollar amount authorized by the September 11, 2007 share repurchase authorization was exhausted.

On July 6, 2020, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of shares of our common stock at any time and from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of $2 billion or amounts spent to purchase no more than 25 million shares. No shares have been repurchased under this authorization.

SoCalGas Preferred Stock

The preferred stock at SoCalGas is presented at Sempra Energy as a NCI. Sempra Energy records charges against income related to NCI for preferred dividends declared by SoCalGas. We provide additional information regarding preferred stock in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Other Noncontrolling Interests

SDG&E

As we discuss in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, on August 23, 2019, SDG&E and Sempra Energy deconsolidated Otay Mesa VIE after SDG&E determined that it was no longer the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

Sempra Mexico

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, IEnova repurchased 57,547,381 shares of its outstanding common stock held by NCI for $167 million, resulting in an increase in Sempra Energy’s ownership interest in IEnova from 66.6% at December 31, 2019 to 69.2% at September 30, 2020. Since October 1, 2020, IEnova repurchased a total of 19,575,399 shares for $64 million.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, IEnova repurchased 2,620,000 shares of its outstanding common stock held by NCI for $10 million resulting in an increase in Sempra Energy’s ownership interest in IEnova from 66.5% at December 31, 2018 to 66.6% at September 30, 2019.

In the first quarter of 2020, IEnova purchased additional shares in ICM Ventures Holdings B.V. for $9 million, increasing its ownership from 53.7% to 82.5%. ICM Ventures Holdings B.V. owns certain permits and land where IEnova is building terminals for the receipt, storage and delivery of liquid fuels.

Sempra Renewables

As we discuss in Note 5, in April 2019, Sempra Renewables sold its remaining wind assets and investments, which included its wind tax equity arrangements. The remaining ownership interest in PXiSE Energy Solutions, LLC was subsumed into Parent and other.

Sempra LNG

In March 2020, Sempra LNG purchased for $7 million the 24.6% minority interest in Liberty Gas Storage LLC, which owns 100% of LA Storage, LLC, increasing Sempra LNG’s ownership in Liberty Gas Storage LLC to 100%. Prior to the purchase, the minority partner converted $22 million in notes payable due from Sempra LNG to equity. As a result of the purchase, we recorded an increase in Sempra Energy’s shareholders’ equity of $2 million for the difference between the carrying value and fair value related to the change in ownership.

In February 2019, Sempra LNG purchased for $20 million the 9.1% minority interest in Bay Gas immediately prior to the sale of 100% of Bay Gas.

Sempra LNG and IEnova are jointly developing a proposed natural gas liquefaction project at the site of IEnova’s existing ECA LNG Regasification terminal. Sempra LNG consolidates the proposed ECA LNG JV liquefaction project. Thus, Sempra Energy’s NCI in IEnova’s 50% interest in the proposed project is reported at Sempra LNG.

47

Discontinued Operations

As we discuss in Note 5, we completed the sales of our equity interests in our Peruvian and Chilean businesses in the second quarter of 2020. The minority interests in Luz del Sur and Tecsur were deconsolidated upon sale of our Peruvian businesses in April 2020, and the minority interests in the Chilquinta Energía subsidiaries were deconsolidated upon sale of our Chilean businesses in June 2020.

(1)    We discuss how we recognize equity earnings in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas record income taxes for interim periods utilizing a forecasted ETR anticipated for the full year. Unusual and infrequent items and items that cannot be reliably estimated are recorded in the interim period in which they occur, which can result in variability in the ETR.

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 ETR. As a result, changes in the relative size of these items compared to pretax income, from period to period, can cause variations in the ETR. The following items are subject to flow-through treatment:

▪repairs expenditures related to a certain portion of utility plant fixed assets

▪the equity portion of AFUDC, which is non-taxable

▪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.

We record income tax (expense) benefit from the transactional effects of foreign currency and inflation. Such effects are partially offset by net gains (losses) from foreign currency derivatives that are hedging Sempra Mexico parent’s exposure to movements in the Mexico peso from its controlling interest in IEnova.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, SDG&E and SoCalGas recorded income tax benefits of $31 million and $38 million, respectively, from the release of a regulatory liability established in connection with 2017 tax reform for excess deferred income tax balances that the CPUC directed be allocated to shareholders in a January 2019 decision.

52

Discontinued Operations

In January 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses and we completed the sales in the second quarter of 2020, as we discuss in Note 5. Prior to this decision, our repatriation estimate excluded post-2017 earnings and other basis differences related to our South American businesses. Because of our decision to sell our South American businesses, we no longer assert indefinite reinvestment of these basis differences. Accordingly, in the nine months ended September 30, we recorded the following income tax impacts from changes in outside basis differences in our discontinued operations in South America:

▪$89 million income tax benefit in 2019 primarily related to outside basis differences existing as of the January 25, 2019 approval of our plan to sell our South American businesses. The amount is comprised of $103 million of income tax expense recorded in the first quarter of 2019, which was then reduced by $192 million in the third quarter of 2019 as a result of a change in the anticipated structure of the sale; and

▪$7 million income tax benefit in 2020 compared to $32 million income tax expense in 2019 related to changes in outside basis differences from earnings and foreign currency effects since January 25, 2019.

We have not changed our indefinite reinvestment assertion or repatriation plan for our continuing international operations during 2020.

NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

We describe below recent accounting pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”: ASU 2016-13, as amended by subsequently issued ASUs, changes how entities 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 receivables and 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. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption primarily impacted the expected credit losses associated with accounts receivable balances, amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates and off-balance sheet financial guarantees. There was an insignificant impact to SDG&E’s or SoCalGas’ balance sheets from adoption. The following table shows the initial (decreases) increases on Sempra Energy’s balance sheet at January 1, 2020 from adoption of ASU 2016-13.

IMPACT FROM ADOPTION OF ASU 2016-13
(Dollars in millions)
	Sempra Energy
Accounts receivable – trade, net	$	(1)
Due from unconsolidated affiliates – noncurrent	(6)
Deferred income tax assets	4
Other current liabilities	4
Deferred credits and other	2
Retained earnings	(7)
Other noncontrolling interests	(2)

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. We adopted ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2020 and will apply the standard on a prospective basis to our goodwill impairment tests.

ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”: ASU 2019-12 simplifies certain areas of accounting for income taxes. In addition to other changes, this standard amends ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” as follows:

▪removes the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items, including discontinued operations or other comprehensive income;

53

▪simplifies the recognition of deferred taxes related to basis differences as a result of ownership changes in investments;

▪specifies an entity is not required to allocate the consolidated amount of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements; and

▪requires an entity to reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual ETR computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date.

For public entities, ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The transition method related to the amendments made by ASU 2019-12 varies based on the nature of the change. We will adopt the standard on January 1, 2021 and do not expect it will have a material impact on our financial statements.

ASU 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”: ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications that replace LIBOR or another reference rate affected by reference rate reform and to hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate that is affected or expected to be affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective March 12, 2020 and can be applied through December 31, 2022, with certain exceptions for hedging relationships that continue to exist after this date, and may be applied from January 1, 2020. For contract modifications, the standard allows entities to account for modifications as an event that does not require reassessment or remeasurement (i.e., as a continuation of the existing contract). The standard also allows entities to amend their formal designation and documentation of hedging relationships affected or expected to be affected by reference rate reform, without having to de-designate the hedging relationship. Entities may elect the optional expedients and exceptions on an individual hedging relationship basis and independently from one another. We elected the optional expedients for contract modifications. We elected the cash flow hedging expedients to disregard the potential discontinuation of a reference rate when assessing whether a hedged forecasted interest payment is probable and to disregard certain mismatches between the designated hedging instrument and the hedged item when assessing the hedge effectiveness. We are applying these expedients prospectively from January 1, 2020. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with the past presentation.

ASU 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”: ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. In addition to other changes, this standard amends ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” by removing the accounting models for instruments with beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features. The standard also amends ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” as follows:

▪requires an entity to apply the if-converted method when calculating diluted EPS for convertible instruments and no longer use the treasury stock method, which was previously allowed for certain convertible instruments;

▪requires an entity to include the effect of potential share settlement in the diluted EPS calculation when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares, and no longer allows an entity to rebut the presumption of share settlement if it has a history or policy of cash settlement;

▪requires an entity to include equity-classified convertible preferred stock that contains down-round features whereby, if the down-round feature is triggered, its effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS;

▪clarifies that the average market price should be used to calculate the diluted EPS denominator when the exercise price or the number of shares that may be issued is variable, except for certain contingently issuable shares; and

▪clarifies that the weighted-average share count from each quarter should be used when calculating the year-to-date weighted-average share count.

For public entities, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. An entity can use either a full or modified retrospective approach to adopt ASU 2020-06 and must disclose, in the period of adoption, EPS transition information about the effect of the change on affected per-share amounts. 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.

NOTE 3. REVENUES

We discuss revenue recognition for revenues from contracts with customers and from sources other than contracts with customers in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the California Utilities and the CPUC have implemented certain measures to assist customers, including suspending service disconnections due to nonpayment for residential and small business customers, waiving late payment fees for business customers, and offering flexible payment plans for customers experiencing difficulty paying their electric or gas bills. Additional measures could be mandated or voluntarily implemented in the future. Under the regulatory compact applicable to the California Utilities, including decoupling of rates, recovery of uncollectible expenses, and other recovery mechanisms potentially available, which we discuss in Note 4, the California Utilities have continued to recognize revenues under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The following table disaggregates our revenues from contracts with customers by major service line and market and provides a reconciliation to total revenues by segment. The majority of our revenue is recognized over time.

CALIFORNIA UTILITIES

COVID-19 Pandemic Protections Memorandum Account

In March 2020, the CPUC required that all energy companies under its jurisdiction, including the California Utilities, take action to implement several emergency customer protection measures to support California customers in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The customer protection measures, which are mandatory for all residential and small business customers, are effective from March 2020, will continue for up to one year, and may be extended by the CPUC. In June 2020, the CPUC approved disaster relief plans covering residential and small business customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic that were submitted by each of the California Utilities. Each of the California Utilities also was authorized to establish a CPPMA to track and request recovery of incremental costs associated with complying with residential and small business customer protection measures implemented by the CPUC related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including costs associated with suspending service disconnections and uncollectible expenses that arise from these customers’ failure to pay. The California Utilities expect to pursue recovery in rates of the costs recorded to the CPPMA in a future CPUC proceeding, which recovery is not assured.

Arrearage Management Payment Plan

In June 2020, the CPUC issued a decision to adopt certain customer protections to reduce residential customer disconnections and improve reconnection processes, including, among other things, imposing limitations on service disconnections, elimination of deposit requirements and reconnection fees, establishment of the AMP that provides successfully participating, income-qualified residential customers with relief from outstanding utility bill amounts, and increased outreach and marketing efforts. The decision allows each of the California Utilities to establish a two-way balancing account to record the uncollectible expenses associated with residential customers’ inability to pay their electric or gas bills, including as a result of the relief from outstanding utility bill amounts provided under the AMP. The California Utilities may also request, at a future date, to transfer any such costs from the CPPMA to this new balancing account.

CPUC General Rate Case

The CPUC uses GRC proceedings to set rates designed to allow the California Utilities to recover their reasonable operating costs and to provide the opportunity to realize their authorized rates of return on their investments.

2019 General Rate Case

As we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, in September 2019, the CPUC issued the 2019 GRC FD, which was effective retroactively to January 1, 2019. In the third quarter of 2019, SDG&E and SoCalGas recorded the retroactive after-tax earnings impact of $36 million and $84 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2019 and $30 million and $46 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2019.

The 2019 GRC FD approved SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ test year revenues for 2019 and attrition year adjustments for 2020 and 2021. In January 2020, the CPUC issued a final decision implementing a four-year GRC cycle for California IOUs. The California Utilities were directed to file a petition for modification to revise their 2019 GRC to add two additional attrition years, resulting in a transitional five-year GRC period (2019-2023). The California Utilities filed the petition in April 2020 and requested authorization of their post-test year ratemaking mechanism for two additional years. We have requested an increase in the revenue requirement for SDG&E and SoCalGas of approximately $95 million and $155 million, respectively, for 2022, and $96 million and $137 million, respectively, for 2023, reflecting certain adjustments. These amounts include revenues for both O&M and capital cost attrition. In June 2020, the CPUC issued a ruling to further clarify the issues for review in the California Utilities’ petition, which are mainly whether the proposed revenue requirements and mechanisms for the two proposed additional attrition years are just and reasonable. In September 2020, the California Utilities filed a status report to summarize positions on how impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic should be incorporated into the proposed attrition rates. The California Utilities proposed to continue with the adopted attrition mechanism using the second quarter 2020 Global Insight utility cost forecast, which incorporates impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Intervenors have proposed other alternatives, including using escalation factors based on the Consumer Price Index. The procedural schedule provides for a proposed decision in the fourth quarter of 2020.

The 2019 GRC FD clarified that differences between incurred and forecasted income tax expense due to forecasting differences are not subject to tracking in the income tax expense memorandum account beginning in 2019. SDG&E and SoCalGas previously recorded regulatory liabilities, inclusive of interest, associated with the 2016 through 2018 tracked forecasting differences of $86 million and $89 million, respectively. In April 2020, the CPUC confirmed treatment of the two-way income tax expense memorandum account for these 2016 through 2018 balances, at which time the California Utilities released these regulatory liability balances to revenues and regulatory interest.

59

CPUC Cost of Capital

In December 2019, the CPUC approved the cost of capital and rate structures (shown in the table below) for SDG&E and SoCalGas that are effective January 1, 2020 and will remain in effect through December 31, 2022. SDG&E did not propose a 2020 cost of preferred equity in this proceeding. In January 2020, SDG&E filed an advice letter to continue the cost of preferred equity for test year 2020 at 6.22%, which the CPUC approved in March 2020.

CPUC AUTHORIZED COST OF CAPITAL AND RATE STRUCTURE
SDG&E							SoCalGas
Authorized weighting		Return on rate base		Weighted return on rate base			Authorized weighting		Return on rate base		Weighted return on rate base
45.25	%	4.59	%	2.08	%	Long-Term Debt	45.60	%	4.23	%	1.93	%
2.75		6.22		0.17		Preferred Equity	2.40		6.00		0.14
52.00		10.20		5.30		Common Equity	52.00		10.05		5.23
100.00	%			7.55	%		100.00	%			7.30	%

The CCM was reauthorized in the 2020 cost of capital proceeding to continue through 2022. The CCM benchmark rate for the 2020 cost of capital is the average monthly utility bond index, as published by Moody’s, for the 12-month period from October 2018 through September 2019. SDG&E’s CCM benchmark rate is 4.498%, based on Moody’s Baa- utility bond index. SoCalGas’ CCM benchmark rate is 4.029%, based on Moody’s A- utility bond index. The index applicable to each utility is based on such utility’s credit rating.

The CCM benchmark rates for SDG&E and SoCalGas are the basis of comparison to determine if future measurement periods “trigger” the CCM. For the 12 months ended September 2020, the first “CCM Period,” the trigger did not occur for SDG&E or SoCalGas. The trigger occurs if the change in the applicable average Moody’s utility bond index relative to the CCM benchmark is larger than plus or minus 1.000%. Accordingly, if a change of more than plus or minus 1.000% occurs, SDG&E’s, SoCalGas’, or both utilities’ authorized ROE would be adjusted, upward or downward, by one half of the difference between the CCM benchmark and the 12-month average determined during the CCM Period. In addition, the authorized recovery rate for the California Utilities’ cost of debt and preferred equity would be adjusted to their respective actual weighted-average cost, with no change to the authorized capital structure. In the event of a CCM trigger, the CCM benchmark is also re-established. These adjustments would become effective in authorized rates on January 1 of the year following the CCM trigger. The next CCM Period is from October 2020 to September 2021.

SDG&E

FERC Formulaic Rate Filing

In October 2018, SDG&E submitted its TO5 filing to the FERC to establish its transmission revenue requirement, including rate of return, for SDG&E’s FERC-regulated electric transmission operations and assets. In December 2018, the FERC issued its order accepting and suspending SDG&E’s TO5 filing for five months, during which the existing TO4 rates remained in effect, and established hearing and settlement procedures. The suspension period ended on June 1, 2019, when the proposed TO5 rates took effect, subject to refund and the outcome of the rate filing. As a result, the TO4 ROE of 10.05% was the basis of SDG&E’s FERC-related revenue recognition until March 2020, when the FERC approved the settlement terms that SDG&E and all settling parties reached in October 2019.

The settlement agreement provides for a ROE of 10.60%, consisting of a base ROE of 10.10% plus an additional 50 bps for participation in the California ISO. If the FERC issues an order ruling that California IOUs are no longer eligible for the additional California ISO ROE, SDG&E would refund the additional 50 bps of ROE associated with the California ISO as of the refund effective date (June 1, 2019) in this proceeding. The TO5 term is effective June 1, 2019 and shall remain in effect indefinitely, with parties having the annual right to terminate the agreement beginning in 2022.

In the first quarter of 2020, SDG&E recorded retroactive revenues of $12 million related to 2019, and additional FERC revenues of $17 million to conclude a rate base matter, net of certain refunds to be paid to CPUC-jurisdictional customers.

Energy Efficiency Program Inquiry

In January 2020, the CPUC issued a ruling seeking comments on a report prepared by its consultant regarding SDG&E’s Upstream Lighting Program for the program year 2017. The CPUC subsequently expanded the scope of the comments to cover

60

the program year 2018. The Upstream Lighting Program was one of SDG&E’s Energy Efficiency programs designed to produce energy efficiency savings for which SDG&E could earn a performance-based incentive.

Pursuant to the CPUC ruling, intervenors representing ratepayers have questioned SDG&E’s management of the program and alleged that certain program expenditures did not benefit the purpose of the program. As a result of the inquiry, SDG&E voluntarily expanded its review to include the program year 2019. Based on this review and discussions with intervenors, SDG&E concluded that some concessions were appropriate, which include refunding certain costs and certain performance-based incentives to customers and incurring a fine. Accordingly, in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, SDG&E reduced revenues by $36 million and $51 million, respectively, and recorded a fine of $6 million in Other (Expense) Income, Net, on the SDG&E and Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The after-tax impact for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $29 million and $44 million, respectively. In October 2020, SDG&E executed a settlement agreement with intervenors consistent with these concessions. CPUC approval of the settlement agreement is required.

NOTE 5. ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

We consolidate assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the purchase date and include earnings from acquisitions in consolidated earnings after the purchase date.

ACQUISITION

Sempra Texas Utilities

TTHC

In February 2020, STIH acquired an additional indirect 0.1975% interest in Oncor through its acquisition of a 1% interest in TTHC from Hunt Strategic Utility Investment, L.L.C. (Hunt), including notes receivable due from TTHC with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $6 million, for a total purchase price of approximately $23 million in cash, bringing Sempra Energy’s indirect ownership in Oncor to approximately 80.45%. TTHC indirectly owns 100% of TTI, which owns 19.75% of Oncor’s outstanding membership interests. At the acquisition date, we determined the fair value of the notes receivable was $7 million based on a discounted cash flow model, and attributed $16 million to the investment in TTHC, which we recorded as an equity method investment.

STIH’s acquisition of the 1% interest was the subject of a lawsuit filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery by the owners of the remaining 99% ownership interest in TTHC. STIH purchased its 1% interest in TTHC in February 2020 after the Delaware Court of Chancery decided, among other things, that STIH’s right to purchase the 1% interest was superior to that of the remaining owners of TTHC. The remaining owners appealed that decision and, in May 2020, the Delaware Supreme Court reversed the Delaware Court of Chancery’s ruling and remanded the case back to the Delaware Court of Chancery. In September 2020, the Delaware Court of Chancery ordered, among other things, the rescission of STIH’s purchase of the 1% interest in TTHC. The parties have complied with the court’s order and Sempra Energy’s indirect ownership in Oncor has returned to 80.25%. We received a full refund of the purchase price from Hunt in September 2020 and have fully unwound the acquisition.

Sharyland Holdings

In May 2019, Sempra Energy acquired an indirect, 50% interest in Sharyland Holdings for $95 million (net of $7 million post-closing adjustments) pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. In connection with and prior to the consummation of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Sharyland Holdings owned 100% of the membership interests in Sharyland Utilities, LP and Sharyland Utilities, LP converted into a limited liability company, named Sharyland Utilities, L.L.C. We account for our indirect, 50% interest in Sharyland Holdings as an equity method investment.

DIVESTITURES

Sempra Renewables

In April 2019, Sempra Renewables completed the sale of its remaining wind assets and investments to AEP for $569 million, net of transaction costs, and recorded a $61 million ($45 million after tax and NCI) gain, which is included in (Loss) Gain on Sale of Assets on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Upon completion of the sale, remaining nominal business activities at Sempra Renewables were subsumed into Parent and other and the Sempra Renewables segment ceased to exist.

Sempra LNG

In February 2019, Sempra LNG completed the sale of its non-utility natural gas storage assets in the southeast U.S. (comprised of Mississippi Hub and Bay Gas), which we classified as held for sale at December 31, 2018, to an affiliate of ArcLight Capital Partners and received cash proceeds of $322 million, net of transaction costs. In January 2019, Sempra LNG completed the sale of other non-utility assets for $5 million.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In January 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses. We determined that these businesses, which previously constituted the Sempra South American Utilities segment, and certain activities associated with those businesses, met the held-for-sale criteria. These businesses are presented as discontinued operations, as the sales represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. Upon completion of these sales, we no longer have continuing involvement in or the ability to exercise significant influence on the operating or financial policies of these operations. Accordingly, the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for these businesses have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Discontinued operations that were previously in the Sempra South American Utilities segment include our former 100% interest in Chilquinta Energía in Chile, our former 83.6% interest in Luz del Sur in Peru and our former interests in two energy-services companies, Tecnored and Tecsur, which provide electric construction and infrastructure services to Chilquinta Energía and Luz del Sur, respectively, as well as third parties. 

On April 24, 2020, we completed the sale of our equity interests in our Peruvian businesses, including our 83.6% interest in Luz del Sur and our interest in Tecsur, to an affiliate of China Yangtze Power International (Hongkong) Co., Limited for cash proceeds of $3,549 million, net of transaction costs and as adjusted for post-closing adjustments, and recorded a pretax gain of $2,271 million ($1,499 million after tax).

On June 24, 2020, we completed the sale of our equity interests in our Chilean businesses, including our 100% interest in Chilquinta Energía and Tecnored and our 50% interest in Eletrans, to State Grid International Development Limited for cash proceeds of $2,216 million, net of transaction costs and as adjusted for post-closing adjustments, and recorded a pretax gain of $628 million ($248 million after tax).

In the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the pretax gains from the sales of our South American businesses are included in (Loss) Gain on Sale of Discontinued Operations in the table below and the after-tax gains are included in (Loss) Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Tax, on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Summarized results from discontinued operations were as follows:

As a result of the sales of our South American businesses, in the second quarter of 2020, we reclassified $645 million of cumulative foreign currency translation losses from AOCI to (Loss) Gain on Sale of Discontinued Operations, which is included in (Loss) Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Tax, on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 6. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

We generally account for investments under the equity method when we have significant influence over, but do not have control of, these entities. Equity earnings and losses, both before and net of income tax, are combined and presented as Equity Earnings on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 12 for information on equity earnings and losses, both before and net of income tax, by segment. See Note 1 for information on how equity earnings and losses before income taxes are factored into the calculations of our pretax income or loss and ETR.

We provide additional information concerning our equity method investments in Notes 5 and 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

SEMPRA TEXAS UTILITIES

Oncor Holdings

We account for our 100% ownership interest in Oncor Holdings, which owns an 80.25% interest in Oncor, as an equity method investment. Due to the ring-fencing measures, governance mechanisms, and commitments in effect, we do not have the power to

63

direct the significant activities of Oncor Holdings and Oncor. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report for additional information related to the restrictions on our ability to direct the significant activities of Oncor Holdings and Oncor.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Sempra Energy contributed $209 million to Oncor Holdings, and Oncor Holdings distributed to Sempra Energy $220 million in dividends.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Sempra Energy contributed $1,236 million to Oncor Holdings, which includes $1,067 million to fund Oncor’s May 2019 acquisition of interests in InfraREIT and certain acquisition-related expenses, which we discuss in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Oncor Holdings distributed to Sempra Energy $162 million in dividends.

We provide summarized income statement information for Oncor Holdings in the following table.

SEMPRA LNG

Cameron LNG JV

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Sempra LNG contributed $54 million to Cameron LNG JV, and Cameron LNG JV distributed to Sempra LNG dividends of $209 million and a distribution in the form of a return of investment of $803 million.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Sempra LNG invested cash of $77 million in Cameron LNG JV and, prior to commencing commercial operations in August 2019, Sempra LNG capitalized $32 million of interest related to its investment in Cameron LNG JV.

As of September 30, 2020, Sempra Energy has provided guarantees aggregating a maximum of $4.0 billion with an aggregate carrying value of $1 million, which is included in Other Current Liabilities on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet associated with Cameron LNG JV’s debt obligations. We discuss these guarantees in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Sempra Energy Support Agreement for CFIN

In July 2020, CFIN entered into a financing arrangement with Cameron LNG JV’s four project owners and received aggregate proceeds of $1.5 billion from two project owners and from external lenders on behalf of the other two project owners (collectively, the affiliate loans), based on their proportionate ownership interest in Cameron LNG JV. CFIN used the proceeds from the affiliate loans to provide a loan to Cameron LNG JV. The affiliate loans mature in 2039. Principal and interest will be paid from Cameron LNG JV’s project cash flows from its three-train natural gas liquefaction facility. Cameron LNG JV used the proceeds from its loan to return equity to its project owners. Sempra Energy used its $753 million share of the proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness.

Sempra Energy’s $753 million proportionate share of the affiliate loans, based on its 50.2% ownership interest in Cameron LNG JV, was funded by external lenders comprised of a syndicate of eight banks (the bank debt) to whom Sempra Energy has provided a guarantee pursuant to a Support Agreement. Under the terms of the Support Agreement, Sempra Energy has severally guaranteed repayment of the bank debt plus accrued and unpaid interest if CFIN fails to pay the external lenders. Additionally, the external lenders may exercise an option to put the bank debt to Sempra Energy on every one-year anniversary of the closing of the affiliate loans, as well as upon the occurrence of certain events, including a failure by CFIN to meet its payment obligations under the bank debt. In addition, some or all of the bank debt will be transferred by each external lender back to Sempra Energy on the

64

five-year anniversary of the affiliate loans, unless the external lenders elect to waive their transfer rights six months prior to the five-year anniversary of the affiliate loans. Sempra Energy also has a right to call the bank debt back from, or to refinance the bank debt with, the external lenders at any time. The Support Agreement will terminate upon full repayment of the bank debt, including repayment following an event in which the bank debt is put to Sempra Energy. In exchange for this guarantee, the external lenders will pay a guarantee fee that is based on the credit rating of Sempra Energy’s long-term senior unsecured non-credit enhanced debt rating, which guarantee fee Sempra LNG will recognize as interest income as earned. Sempra Energy’s maximum exposure to loss is the bank debt plus any accrued and unpaid interest and related fees, subject to a liability cap of 130% of the bank debt, or $979 million. We measure the Support Agreement at fair value, net of related guarantee fees, on a recurring basis (see Note 9). At September 30, 2020, the fair value of the Support Agreement was $6 million, which is included in Other Current Assets on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

RBS SEMPRA COMMODITIES

As we discuss in Note 11, in the first quarter of 2020, we recorded a charge of $100 million in Equity Earnings on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for losses from our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities. We recognized a corresponding liability of $25 million in Other Current Liabilities and $75 million in Deferred Credits and Other for our share of estimated losses in excess of the carrying value of our equity method investment.

NOTE 7. DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES

In addition to its committed lines of credit, IEnova had a three-year $100 million uncommitted revolving credit facility with Scotiabank Inverlat S.A. that was canceled in October 2020. At September 30, 2020, available unused credit on this line was $100 million. In October 2020, IEnova entered into a three-year $20 million uncommitted revolving credit facility with Scotiabank Inverlat S.A. (borrowings may be made in either U.S. dollars or Mexican pesos) and a three-year $100 million uncommitted revolving credit facility with The Bank of Nova Scotia (borrowings can only be made in U.S. dollars).

Letters of Credit

Outside of our domestic and foreign committed credit facilities, we have bilateral unsecured standby letter of credit capacity with select lenders that is uncommitted and supported by reimbursement agreements. At September 30, 2020, we had approximately $560 million in standby letters of credit outstanding under these agreements.

TERM LOANS

In March 2020 and April 2020, Sempra Energy borrowed a total of $1,599 million, net of $1 million of debt discounts and issuance costs, under a 364-day term loan, which had a maturity date of March 16, 2021 with an option to extend the maturity date to September 16, 2021, subject to receiving the consent of the lenders. Sempra Energy used the proceeds from the term loan to repay borrowings on its committed lines of credit and for other general corporate purposes. This term loan was repaid in full in September 2020.

In March 2020, SDG&E borrowed $200 million under a 364-day term loan, which has a maturity date of March 18, 2021 with an option to extend the maturity date to September 17, 2021, subject to receiving the consent of the lenders. Borrowings bear interest at benchmark rates plus 80 bps (0.95% at September 30, 2020). The term loan provides SDG&E with additional liquidity outside of its committed line of credit. SDG&E classified this term loan as long-term debt based on management’s intent and ability to maintain this level of borrowing on a long-term basis by issuing long-term debt. At September 30, 2020, this term loan was included in Current Portion of Long-Term Debt and Finance Leases on SDG&E’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

WEIGHTED-AVERAGE INTEREST RATES

The weighted-average interest rates on the total short-term debt at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were as follows:

WEIGHTED-AVERAGE INTEREST RATES
	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Sempra Energy Consolidated	0.93	%	2.31	%
SDG&E	N/A		1.97
SoCalGas	N/A		1.86

LONG-TERM DEBT

SDG&E

In September 2020, SDG&E issued $800 million of 1.70% first mortgage bonds maturing in 2030 and received proceeds of $792 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $8 million). SDG&E intends to use a portion of the proceeds from the offering to repay approximately $250 million of debt, prior to its scheduled maturity. As a result, this amount was classified as Current Portion of Long-Term Debt and Finance Leases on the SDG&E and Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2020. SDG&E intends to use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes, including repayment of commercial paper.

In April 2020, SDG&E issued $400 million of 3.32% first mortgage bonds maturing in 2050 and received proceeds of $395 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $5 million). SDG&E used $200 million of the proceeds from the offering to repay line of credit borrowings, and the remaining proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

SoCalGas

In September 2020, SoCalGas issued $300 million of senior unsecured floating rate notes maturing in 2023 and received proceeds of $298 million (net of underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $2 million). The notes bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR rate (or, under certain circumstances, a benchmark replacement rate), reset quarterly, plus 35 bps. SoCalGas may, at its option, redeem some or all of the floating rate notes at any time on or after March 14, 2021 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of, plus accrued and unpaid interest on, the notes being redeemed. SoCalGas intends to use the proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including repayment of commercial paper.

In January 2020, SoCalGas issued $650 million of 2.55% first mortgage bonds maturing in 2030 and received proceeds of $643 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $7 million). SoCalGas used the proceeds from the offering to repay outstanding commercial paper and for other general corporate purposes.

Sempra Mexico

In September 2020, IEnova offered and sold in a private placement $800 million of 4.75% senior unsecured notes maturing in 2051 and received proceeds of $770 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $30 million). IEnova used the proceeds from the offering to repay line of credit borrowings and for other general corporate purposes.

In November 2019, IEnova entered into a financing agreement with International Finance Corporation and North American Development Bank to finance and/or refinance the construction of solar generation projects in Mexico. Under this agreement, in April 2020, IEnova borrowed $100 million from Japan International Cooperation Agency, with loan proceeds of $98 million (net of debt issuance costs of $2 million). The loan matures in November 2034 and bears interest based on 6-month LIBOR plus 150 bps. In April 2020, IEnova entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap, resulting in a fixed rate of 2.38%. Also under the financing agreement, in June 2020, IEnova borrowed $241 million from U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, with loan proceeds of $236 million (net of debt issuance costs of $5 million). The loan matures in November 2034 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 2.90%.

Sempra LNG

As we discuss in “Shareholders’ Equity and Noncontrolling Interests – Other Noncontrolling Interests – Sempra LNG” in Note 1, notes payable totaling $22 million due October 1, 2026 were converted to equity by the minority partner in Liberty Gas Storage LLC and are no longer outstanding.

NOTE 8. 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 could cause our asset values to fall or our liabilities to 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.

67

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 have derivatives that are (1) cash flow hedges, (2) fair value hedges, 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 OCI (cash flow hedges), on the balance sheet (regulatory offsets), or recognized in earnings (fair value hedges and undesignated derivatives not subject to rate recovery). We classify cash flows from the principal settlements of cross-currency swaps that hedge exposure related to Mexican peso-denominated debt as financing activities and settlements of other 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.

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 and Sempra LNG 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 Energy-Related Businesses Cost of Sales 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 distribution 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 and greenhouse gas allowances.

68

The following table summarizes net energy derivative volumes.

NET ENERGY DERIVATIVE VOLUMES
(Quantities in millions)
Commodity	Unit of measure	September 30, 2020	December 31, 2019
Sempra Energy Consolidated:
Natural gas	MMBtu	19	32
Electricity	MWh	2	2

SDG&E:
Natural gas	MMBtu	23	37
Electricity	MWh	1	2
Congestion revenue rights	MWh	43	48
SoCalGas:
Natural gas	MMBtu	—	2

In addition to the amounts noted above, we 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 Sempra Energy and its other subsidiaries and JVs, periodically enter into interest rate derivative agreements intended to moderate our exposure to interest rates and to lower our overall costs of borrowing. 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.

The following table presents the net notional amounts of our interest rate derivatives, excluding JVs.

	Notional debt		Maturities	Notional debt		Maturities
Sempra Energy Consolidated:
Cash flow hedges	$	1,500	2020-2034	$	1,445	2020-2034

FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES

We utilize cross-currency swaps to hedge exposure related to Mexican peso-denominated debt at our Mexican subsidiaries and JVs. 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 JVs 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 JVs, which have U.S. dollar-denominated cash balances, receivables, payables and debt (monetary assets and liabilities) that give rise to Mexican currency 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 for inflation.

We also utilized foreign currency derivatives to hedge exposure to fluctuations in the Peruvian sol and Chilean peso related to the sales of our operations in Peru and Chile, respectively.

69

The following table presents the net notional amounts of our foreign currency derivatives, excluding JVs.

For Sempra Energy Consolidated, we expect that net losses of $72 million, which are net of income tax benefit, that are currently recorded in AOCI related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months as the hedged items affect earnings. SoCalGas expects that $1 million of 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 12 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 September 30, 2020 is approximately 14 years for Sempra Energy Consolidated. The maximum remaining term for which we are hedging exposure to the variability of cash flows at our equity method investees is 19 years.

CONTINGENT FEATURES

For Sempra Energy Consolidated, SDG&E and SoCalGas, 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $8 million and $21 million, respectively. For SoCalGas, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a net liability position at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $7 million and $4 million, respectively. At September 30, 2020, if the credit ratings of Sempra Energy or SoCalGas were reduced below investment grade, $8 million and $7 million, respectively, 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 9. 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.

73

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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. 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 valued assets and liabilities, and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. We have not changed the valuation techniques or types of inputs we use to measure recurring fair value since December 31, 2019.

The fair value of commodity derivative assets and liabilities is presented in accordance with our netting policy, as we discuss in Note 8 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 in the tables below include the following (other than a $5 million investment at December 31, 2019, measured at net asset value):

▪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 or income 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 – SDG&E.”

▪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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

▪As we discuss in Note 6, in July 2020, Sempra Energy entered into a Support Agreement for the benefit of CFIN. We measure the Support Agreement, which includes a guarantee obligation, a put option and a call option, net of related guarantee fees, at fair value on a recurring basis. We use a discounted cash flow model to value the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees. Because some of the inputs that are significant to the valuation are less observable, the Support Agreement is classified as Level 3, as we describe below in “Level 3 Information – Sempra LNG.”

Level 3 Information

SDG&E

The table below sets forth reconciliations of changes in the fair value of CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy for Sempra Energy Consolidated and SDG&E.

Change in unrealized gains (losses) relating to instruments still held at September 30	$	(1)	$	12

(1)    Excludes the effect of the contractual ability to settle contracts under master netting agreements.

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.

77

CRRs are recorded at fair value based almost entirely on the most current auction prices published by the California ISO, an objective source. Annual auction prices are published once a year, typically in the middle of November, and are the basis for valuing CRRs settling in the following year. For the CRRs settling from January 1 to December 31, the auction price inputs, at a given location, were in the following ranges for the years indicated below:

CONGESTION REVENUE RIGHTS AUCTION PRICE INPUTS
Settlement year	Price per MWh					Median price per MWh
2020	$	(3.77)	to	$	6.03	$	(1.58)
2019	(8.57)		to	35.21		(2.94)

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. 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 8.

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. The range and weighted-average price of these inputs at September 30 were as follows:

LONG-TERM, FIXED-PRICE ELECTRICITY POSITIONS PRICE INPUTS
Settlement year	Price per MWh					Weighted-average price per MWh
2020	$	19.45	to	$	71.25	$	38.14
2019		21.60	to		57.20		38.29

A significant increase (decrease) in market electricity forward prices would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value. We summarize long-term, fixed-price electricity position volumes in Note 8.

Realized gains and losses associated with CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions, which are recoverable in rates, are recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Because unrealized gains and losses are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities, they do not affect earnings.

Sempra LNG

The table below sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of Sempra Energy’s Support Agreement for the benefit of CFIN classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy for Sempra Energy Consolidated.

LEVEL 3 RECONCILIATION
(Dollars in millions)
	Three months ended September 30, 2020
Balance at July 1	$	—
Realized and unrealized gains(1)	7
Settlements	(1)
Balance at September 30(2)	$	6
Change in unrealized gains (losses) relating to instruments still held at September 30	$	6

(1)    Net gains are included in Interest Income and net losses are included in Interest Expense on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(2)    Included in Other Current Assets on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The fair value of the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees, is based on a discounted cash flow model using a probability of default and survival methodology. Our estimate of fair value considers inputs such as third-party default rates, credit ratings, recovery rates, and risk-adjusted discount rates, which may be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable inputs. Because CFIN’s credit rating and related default and survival rates are unobservable inputs that are

78

significant to the valuation, the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees, is classified as Level 3. We assigned CFIN an internally developed credit rating of A3 and relied on default rate data published by Moody’s to assign a probability of default. A hypothetical change in the credit rating up or down one notch would not result in a significant change in the fair value of the Support Agreement.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of certain of our financial instruments (cash, 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.

As a result of Edison’s decision to permanently retire SONGS Units 2 and 3, Edison began the decommissioning phase of the plant. We expect the majority of the decommissioning work to take 10 years after receipt of all the required permits. The coastal development permit, the last permit required to be obtained, was issued in October 2019. The Samuel Lawrence Foundation filed a writ petition under the California Coastal Act in LA Superior Court in December 2019 seeking to invalidate this permit and to obtain injunctive relief to stop decommissioning work. In September 2020, the Samuel Lawrence Foundation filed another writ petition under the California Coastal Act in LA Superior Court seeking to set aside the California Coastal Commission’s July 2020 approval of the inspection and maintenance plan for the SONGS’ canisters and to obtain injunctive relief to stop decommissioning work. Major decommissioning work began in 2020 and has not been interrupted by the writ petitions filed by the Samuel Lawrence Foundation. Decommissioning of Unit 1, removed from service in 1992, is largely complete. The remaining work for Unit 1 will be completed once Units 2 and 3 are dismantled and the spent fuel is removed from the site. The spent fuel is currently being stored on-site, until the DOE identifies a spent fuel storage facility and puts in place a program for the fuel’s disposal, as we discuss below. SDG&E is responsible for approximately 20% 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. SDG&E classifies debt and equity securities held in the NDT as available-for-sale. 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 noncurrent Regulatory Liabilities.

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. In March 2020, SDG&E received authorization from the CPUC to access NDT funds of up to $109 million for forecasted 2020 costs.

In September 2020, the IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury published final regulations that clarify the definition of “nuclear decommissioning costs,” which are costs that may be paid for or reimbursed from a qualified trust fund. The final regulations adopted most of the provisions of the proposed regulations issued in December 2016. The final regulations apply to taxable years ending on or after September 4, 2020 and confirm that the definition of “nuclear decommissioning costs” includes amounts related to the storage of spent nuclear fuel at both on-site and off-site ISFSIs.

The final regulations also clarify that costs incurred for ISFSIs that may be or are expected to be reimbursed by the DOE may be paid or reimbursed from a qualified trust fund. Accordingly, the final regulations allow SDG&E the option to access qualified trust funds to recover spent fuel storage 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 below.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION AND SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL

The present value of SDG&E’s ARO related to decommissioning costs for the SONGS units was $593 million at September 30, 2020. That amount includes the cost to decommission Units 2 and 3, and the remaining cost to complete the decommissioning of Unit 1, which is substantially complete. The ARO for all three units is based on a cost study prepared in 2017 that is pending CPUC approval. The ARO for Units 2 and 3 reflects the acceleration of the start of decommissioning of these units as a result of the early closure of the plant. SDG&E’s share of total decommissioning costs in 2020 dollars is approximately $860 million.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NUCLEAR FUEL DISPOSAL

Spent nuclear fuel from SONGS is currently stored on-site in an ISFSI licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. In October 2015, the California Coastal Commission approved Edison’s application to expand the ISFSI. The ISFSI expansion began construction in 2016 and the transfer of the spent nuclear fuel from Units 2 and 3 to the ISFSI began in 2018 and was completed in August 2020. The ISFSI will 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. Until then, SONGS owners are responsible for interim storage of spent nuclear fuel at SONGS.

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. In November 2019, Edison filed a claim for spent fuel management costs in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims for the time period from January 2017 through July 2018. It is unclear when Edison will pursue litigation claims for spent fuel management costs incurred on or after August 1, 2018. 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.

NUCLEAR INSURANCE

SDG&E and the other owners of SONGS have insurance to cover claims from nuclear liability incidents arising at SONGS. Currently, 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 an additional $110 million of coverage. If a nuclear liability loss occurs at SONGS and exceeds the $450 million insurance limit, this additional coverage would be available to provide a total of $560 million in coverage limits per incident.

As a result of updated coverage assessments, the SONGS owners have nuclear property damage insurance of $130 million, which exceeds the minimum federal requirements of $50 million. This insurance coverage is provided through NEIL. The NEIL policies have specific exclusions and limitations that can result in reduced 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 $3.5 million of retrospective premiums based on overall member claims.

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) of $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.

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 reasonably estimate 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 September 30, 2020, loss contingency accruals for legal matters, including associated legal fees, that are probable and estimable were $444 million for Sempra Energy Consolidated, including $299 million for SoCalGas. Amounts for Sempra Energy Consolidated and SoCalGas include $273 million for matters related to the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility gas leak, which we discuss below.

SoCalGas

Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak

From October 23, 2015 through February 11, 2016, SoCalGas experienced a natural gas leak from one of the injection-and-withdrawal wells, SS25, at its Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility in Los Angeles County. As described below in “Civil and Criminal Litigation” and “Regulatory Proceedings,” numerous lawsuits, investigations and regulatory proceedings have been

82

initiated in response to the Leak, resulting in significant costs, which together with other Leak-related costs are discussed below in “Cost Estimates, Accounting Impact and Insurance.”

Civil and Criminal Litigation. As of November 2, 2020, 394 lawsuits, including approximately 36,000 plaintiffs, are pending against SoCalGas related to the Leak, some of which have also named Sempra Energy. All these cases, other than a matter brought by the Los Angeles County District Attorney and the federal securities class action discussed below, are coordinated before a single court in the LA Superior Court for pretrial management.

In November 2017, in the coordinated proceeding, individuals and business entities filed a Third 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 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, wrongful death and violations of Proposition 65 against SoCalGas, with certain causes of action 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. The initial trial previously scheduled for June 2020 for a small number of randomly selected individual plaintiffs was postponed, with a new trial date to be determined by the court.

In January 2017, 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). The Property Class Action asserts claims for strict liability for ultra-hazardous activities, negligence, negligence per se, violation of the California Unfair Competition Law, trespass, permanent and continuing public and private nuisance, and inverse condemnation. The Business Class Action asserts a claim for violation of the California Unfair Competition Law. Both complaints seek compensatory, statutory and punitive damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees.

Three property developers filed complaints in July and October of 2018 against SoCalGas and Sempra Energy alleging causes of action for strict liability, negligence per se, negligence, continuing nuisance, permanent nuisance and violation of the California Unfair Competition Law, as well as claims for negligence against certain directors of SoCalGas. The complaints seek compensatory, statutory and punitive damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees.

In October 2018 and January 2019, complaints were filed on behalf of 51 firefighters stationed near the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility who allege they were injured by exposure to chemicals released during the Leak. The complaints against SoCalGas and Sempra Energy assert causes of actions for 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 and loss of consortium. The complaints seek compensatory and punitive damages for personal injuries, lost wages and/or lost profits, property damage and diminution in property value, and attorney’s fees.

Four shareholder derivative actions are also pending alleging breach of fiduciary duties against certain officers and certain directors of Sempra Energy and/or SoCalGas, three of which were joined in an Amended Consolidated Shareholder Derivative Complaint filed in February 2020.

In addition, a federal securities class action alleging violation of the federal securities laws was filed against Sempra Energy and certain of its officers in July 2017 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. In March 2018, the court dismissed the action with prejudice. The plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal.

In February 2019, the LA Superior Court approved a settlement between SoCalGas and the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office, the County of Los Angeles, the California Office of the Attorney General and CARB of three actions filed by these entities under which SoCalGas made payments and agreed to provide funding for environmental projects totaling $120 million, including $21 million in civil penalties, as well as other safety-related commitments.

In September 2016, SoCalGas settled a misdemeanor criminal complaint filed in February 2016 by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office against SoCalGas, pleading no contest to a charge that it failed 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 2703(a). In November 2016, the LA Superior Court approved the settlement and entered judgment on the notice charge. Under the settlement, SoCalGas paid a $75,000 fine, $233,500 in penalties, and $246,673 to reimburse costs incurred by Los Angeles County Fire Department’s Health and Hazardous Materials Division, as well as completed operational commitments estimated to cost approximately $6 million. Certain individuals who objected to the settlement petitioned the Court of Appeal to vacate the judgment, contending they should be granted restitution. In July 2019, the Court of Appeal denied the petition in part, but remanded the matter to the trial court to give the petitioners an opportunity to

83

prove damages stemming from only the three-day delay in reporting the Leak. Following the hearing, the trial court denied restitution.

Regulatory Proceedings. In January 2016, CalGEM and the CPUC directed an independent analysis of the technical root cause of the Leak to be conducted by Blade. In May 2019, Blade released its report, which concluded that the Leak was caused by a failure of the production casing of the well due to corrosion and that attempts to stop the Leak were not effectively conducted, but did not identify any instances of non-compliance by SoCalGas. Blade concluded that SoCalGas’ compliance activities conducted prior to the Leak did not find indications of a casing integrity issue. Blade opined, however, that there were measures, none of which were required by gas storage regulations at the time, that could have been taken to aid in the early identification of corrosion and that, in Blade’s opinion, would have prevented or mitigated the Leak. The report also identified well safety practices and regulations that have since been adopted by CalGEM and implemented by SoCalGas, which address most of the root cause of the Leak identified during Blade’s investigation.

In June 2019, the CPUC opened an OII to consider penalties against SoCalGas for the Leak, which it later bifurcated into two phases. The first phase will consider whether SoCalGas violated California Public Utilities Code Section 451 or other laws, CPUC orders or decisions, rules or requirements, whether SoCalGas engaged in unreasonable and/or imprudent practices with respect to its operation and maintenance of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility or its related record-keeping practices, whether SoCalGas cooperated sufficiently with the Safety Enforcement Division (SED) and Blade during the pre-formal investigation, and whether any of the mitigation proposed by Blade should be implemented to the extent not already done. In November 2019, SED, based largely on the Blade report, alleged a total of 330 violations, asserting that SoCalGas violated California Public Utilities Code Section 451 and failed to cooperate in the investigation and to keep proper records. We expect hearings in the first phase of the OII to begin in the first quarter of 2021. The second phase will consider whether SoCalGas should be sanctioned for the Leak and what damages, fines or other penalties or sanctions, if any, should be imposed for any violations, unreasonable or imprudent practices, or failure to sufficiently cooperate with the SED as determined by the CPUC in the first phase. In addition, the second phase will determine the amounts of various costs incurred by SoCalGas and other parties in connection with the Leak and the ratemaking treatment or other disposition of such costs, which could result in little or no recovery of such costs by SoCalGas. SoCalGas is engaged in settlement discussions in connection with this proceeding.

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, but excluding issues with respect to air quality, public health, causation, culpability or cost responsibility regarding the Leak. The first phase of the proceeding established a framework for the hydraulic, production cost and economic modeling assumptions for the potential reduction in usage or elimination of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility. Phase 2 of the proceeding, which will evaluate the impacts of reducing or eliminating the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility using the established framework and models, began in the first quarter of 2019. The CPUC is scheduled to issue its report for Phase 2 by March 31, 2021. In December 2019, the CPUC added a third phase of the proceeding to consider alternative means for meeting or avoiding the demand for the facility’s services if it were eliminated in either 2027 or 2045.

If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were to be permanently closed, or if future cash flows from its operation 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 September 30, 2020, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility had a net book value of $788 million. Any significant impairment of this asset, or higher operating costs and additional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas that may not be recoverable in customer rates, could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Cost Estimates, Accounting Impact and Insurance. SoCalGas has incurred significant costs for temporary relocation of community residents; to control the well and stop the Leak; to mitigate the natural gas released; to purchase natural gas to replace what was lost through the Leak; to defend against and, in certain cases, settle, civil and criminal litigation arising from the Leak; to pay the costs of the government-ordered response to the Leak, including the costs for Blade to conduct the root cause analysis described above; to respond to various government and agency investigations regarding the Leak; and to comply with increased regulation imposed as a result of the Leak. At September 30, 2020, SoCalGas estimates these costs related to the Leak are $1,440 million (the cost estimate), which includes the $1,279 million of costs recovered or probable of recovery from insurance. This cost estimate may increase significantly as more information becomes available. A substantial portion of the cost estimate has been paid, and $268 million is accrued as Reserve for Aliso Canyon Costs and $7 million is accrued in Deferred Credits and Other as of September 30, 2020 on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In the first quarter of 2020, SoCalGas recorded an accrual of $277 million, inclusive of estimated legal costs, of which $177 million was recorded in Insurance Receivable for Aliso Canyon Costs on the SoCalGas and Sempra Energy Condensed

84

Consolidated Balance Sheets and $100 million ($72 million after tax) was recorded in O&M on the SoCalGas and Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to settlement discussions in connection with the private plaintiffs’ actions described in “Civil and Criminal Litigation” above. SoCalGas continues to monitor and evaluate the status of the private plaintiffs’ actions and the OII described in “Regulatory Proceedings” above and, in the third quarter of 2020, recorded an additional accrual of $27 million ($22 million after tax) in O&M on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. These accruals are included in the cost estimate that we describe above.

Except for the amounts paid or estimated to settle certain actions, as described in “Civil and Criminal Litigation” above, the cost estimate does not include all litigation, regulatory proceedings or regulatory costs to the extent it is not possible to predict at this time the outcome of these actions or reasonably estimate the costs to defend or resolve the actions or the amount of damages, restitution, or civil, administrative or criminal fines, sanctions, penalties or other costs or remedies that may be imposed or incurred. The cost estimate also does not include certain other costs incurred by Sempra Energy associated with defending against shareholder derivative lawsuits and other potential costs that we currently do not anticipate incurring or that we cannot reasonably estimate. These costs not included in the cost estimate could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

We have received insurance payments for many of the costs included in the cost estimate, including temporary relocation and associated processing costs, control-of-well expenses, costs of the government-ordered response to the Leak, certain legal costs and lost gas. We intend to pursue the full extent of our insurance coverage for the costs we have incurred. Other than directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, after taking into consideration the additional accrual related to litigation matters described above, we have exhausted all of our insurance in this matter, except as to certain defense costs we may incur in the future, including those related to the shareholder derivative lawsuits described above. We continue to pursue other sources of insurance coverage for costs related to this matter, but we may not be successful in obtaining additional insurance recovery for any of these costs. If we are not able to secure additional insurance recovery for all or a substantial portion of these costs, if any costs we have recorded as an insurance receivable are not collected, if there are delays in receiving insurance recoveries, or if the insurance recoveries are subject to income taxes while the associated costs are not tax deductible, such amounts, which could be significant, could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

As of September 30, 2020, we recorded the expected recovery of the cost estimate related to the Leak of $504 million as Insurance Receivable for Aliso Canyon Costs on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount is exclusive of insurance retentions and $775 million of insurance proceeds we received through September 30, 2020. If we were to conclude that this receivable or a portion of it is 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.

Sempra Mexico

Energía Costa Azul

IEnova has been engaged in a long-running land dispute relating to property adjacent to its ECA LNG Regasification facility that allegedly overlaps with land owned by the ECA LNG Regasification facility (the facility, however, is not situated on the land that is the subject of this dispute). A claimant to the adjacent property filed complaints in the federal Agrarian Court challenging the refusal of SEDATU in 2006 to issue 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 IEnova challenged the ruling due to lack of notification of the underlying process. In May 2019, a federal court in Mexico reversed the ruling and ordered a retrial.

Four other cases involving two adjacent areas of real property on which part of the ECA LNG Regasification facility is situated, each brought by a single plaintiff or her descendants, remain pending against the facility. The first disputed area is subject to a claim in the federal Agrarian Court that has been ongoing since 2006, in which the plaintiffs seek to annul the property title for a portion of the land on which the ECA LNG Regasification facility is situated and to obtain possession of a different parcel that allegedly overlaps with the site of the ECA LNG Regasification facility. The second disputed area is one parcel adjacent to the ECA LNG Regasification facility that allegedly overlaps with land on which the ECA LNG Regasification facility is situated, which is subject to a claim in the Agrarian Court and two claims in civil courts. The Agrarian Court proceeding, which seeks an order that SEDATU issue title to the plaintiff, was initiated in 2013 and the parties are awaiting a final decision. The two civil court proceedings, which seek to invalidate the contract by which the ECA LNG Regasification facility purchased the applicable parcel of land on which the ECA LNG Regasification facility is situated on the grounds that the purchase price was allegedly unfair, are progressing at different stages. In the first, initiated in 2013, a lower court ruled in favor of the ECA LNG Regasification facility and the ruling has been appealed by the plaintiff. The same plaintiff filed the second civil case in 2019, which is in its initial stages.

85

Certain of these land disputes involve land on which portions of the proposed ECA LNG liquefaction facility are anticipated to be situated or on which portions of the ECA LNG Regasification facility that would be necessary for the operation of the proposed ECA LNG liquefaction facility are situated.

Several administrative challenges are pending before Mexico’s Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (the Mexican environmental protection agency) and Federal Tax and Administrative Courts, seeking revocation of the environmental impact authorization issued to the ECA LNG Regasification facility 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.

In 2018, two related claimants filed separate challenges in the federal district court in Ensenada, Baja California in relation to the environmental and social impact permits issued by each of Agencia de Seguridad, Energía y Ambiente (ASEA) and SENER to ECA LNG JV authorizing natural gas liquefaction activities at the ECA LNG Regasification facility. In the first case, the court issued a provisional injunction in September 2018. In December 2018, ASEA approved modifications to the environmental permit that facilitate the development of the proposed natural gas liquefaction facility in two phases. In May 2019, the court canceled the provisional injunction. The claimant appealed the court’s decision canceling the injunction, but was not successful. The claimant’s underlying challenge to the permits remains pending. In the second case, the initial request for a provisional injunction was denied. That decision was reversed on appeal in January 2020, resulting in the issuance of a new injunction against the same environmental and social impact permits that were already issued by ASEA and SENER. This injunction has uncertain application absent clarification by the court. The reversal and issuance of the injunction in the second case is under further appeal.

In September 2020, parties claiming a property interest in the land on which the ECA LNG Regasification facility is situated and the proposed ECA LNG liquefaction facility is anticipated to be situated filed an administrative proceeding with the Municipality of Ensenada against the construction permit for the construction of the proposed liquefaction export projects at the ECA LNG Regasification facility. The construction permit has been suspended pending resolution of the claim and the ECA LNG Regasification facility and ECA LNG JV are contesting the validity of the claim.

In May 2020, the two third-party capacity customers at the ECA LNG Regasification facility, Shell Mexico and Gazprom, asserted that a 2019 update of the general terms and conditions for service at the facility, as approved by the CRE, resulted in a breach of contract by IEnova and a force majeure event. Citing these circumstances, the customers subsequently stopped making payments of amounts due under their respective LNG storage and regasification agreements. IEnova has rejected the customers’ assertions and has drawn (and expects to continue to draw) on the customers’ letters of credit provided as payment security. The parties engaged in discussions under the applicable contractual dispute resolution procedures without coming to a mutually acceptable resolution. In July 2020, Shell Mexico submitted a request for arbitration of the dispute. IEnova will avail itself of its available claims, defenses and remedies in the arbitration proceeding. Gazprom has since replenished the amounts drawn on its letter of credit and has resumed making regular monthly payments under its LNG storage and regasification agreement. In October 2020, IEnova was informed by Gazprom of its consent to join the arbitration proceeding initiated by Shell Mexico against the ECA LNG Regasification facility and is awaiting the formalization of Gazprom’s recognition as a claimant party in such arbitration. IEnova intends to enforce its rights in the arbitration process, seeking to dismiss the customers’ claims. Shell Mexico also filed a constitutional challenge to the CRE’s approval of the update to the general terms and conditions. In October 2020, Shell Mexico’s request to stay CRE’s approval was denied and, subsequently, Shell Mexico filed an appeal of that decision.

One or more unfavorable final decisions on these disputes or challenges, could materially and adversely affect our existing natural gas regasification operations and proposed LNG liquefaction projects at the site of the ECA LNG Regasification facility.

Guaymas-El Oro Segment of the Sonora Pipeline

IEnova’s Sonora natural gas pipeline consists of two segments, the Sasabe-Puerto Libertad-Guaymas segment, and the Guaymas-El Oro segment. Each segment has its own service agreement with the CFE. 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 the Sonora natural gas pipeline that crosses its territory. Representatives of the Bácum community filed a legal challenge in Mexican federal court demanding the right to withhold consent for the project, the stoppage of work in the Yaqui territory and damages. In 2016, the judge granted a suspension order that prohibited the construction of such segment through the Bácum community territory. Because the pipeline does not pass through the Bácum community, IEnova did not believe the 2016 suspension order prohibited construction in the remainder of the Yaqui territory. Construction of the Guaymas-El Oro segment was completed, and commercial operations began in May 2017.

Following the start of commercial operations of the Guaymas-El Oro segment, IEnova reported damage to the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline in the Yaqui territory that has made that section inoperable since August 2017 and, as a result, IEnova declared a force majeure event. In 2017, an appellate court ruled that the scope of the 2016 suspension order encompassed

86

the wider Yaqui territory, which has prevented IEnova from making repairs to put the pipeline back in service. In July 2019, a federal district court ruled in favor of IEnova and held that the Yaqui tribe was properly consulted and that consent from the Yaqui tribe was properly received. Representatives of the Bácum community appealed this decision, causing the suspension order preventing IEnova from repairing the damage to the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline in the Yaqui territory to remain in place until the appeals process is exhausted.

IEnova exercised its rights under the contract, which included seeking force majeure payments for the two-year period such force majeure payments were required to be made, which ended in August 2019.

In July 2019, the CFE filed a request for arbitration generally to nullify certain contract terms that provide for fixed capacity payments in instances of force majeure and made a demand for substantial damages in connection with the force majeure event. In September 2019, the arbitration process ended when IEnova and the CFE reached an agreement to restart natural gas transportation service on the earlier of completion of repair of the damaged pipeline or January 15, 2020, and to modify the tariff structure and extend the term of the contract by 10 years. Subsequently, IEnova and the CFE agreed to extend the service start date to May 15, 2020 and then again to September 15, 2020. In the third quarter of 2020, the parties agreed to further extend the service start date to March 14, 2021. Under the revised agreement, the CFE will resume making payments only when the damaged section of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline is repaired. If the pipeline is not repaired by March 14, 2021 and the parties do not agree on a new service start date, IEnova retains the right to terminate the contract and seek to recover its reasonable and documented costs and lost profits.

If IEnova is unable to make such repairs and resume operations in the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline within this time frame or if IEnova terminates the contract and is unable to obtain recovery, there may be a material adverse impact on Sempra Energy’s results of operations and cash flows and our ability to recover the carrying value of our investment. At September 30, 2020, the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline had a net book value of $446 million. The Sasabe-Puerto Libertad-Guaymas segment of the Sonora pipeline remains in full operation and is not impacted by these developments.

Regulatory Actions by the Mexican Government that Impact Renewable Energy Facilities

In April 2020, Mexico’s CENACE issued an order that it claims would safeguard Mexico’s national power grid from interruptions that may be caused by renewable energy projects. The main provision of the order suspends all legally mandated pre-operative testing that would be needed for new renewable energy projects to commence operations and prevents such projects from connecting to the national power grid until further notice. IEnova’s renewable energy projects affected by the order filed for legal protection through amparo claims (constitutional protection lawsuits) and, in June 2020, received injunctive relief until the claims are resolved by the courts.

In May 2020, Mexico’s SENER published a resolution to establish guidelines intended to guarantee the security and reliability of the national grid’s electricity supply by reducing the threat that it claims is caused by clean, intermittent energy. The resolution includes the following key elements:

▪provides non-renewable electricity generation facilities, primarily non-renewable power plants, preferential access or easier access to Mexico’s national power grid, while increasing restrictions on access to the grid by renewable energy facilities;

▪grants the CRE and CENACE broad authority to approve or deny permits and interconnection requests by producers of renewable energy; and

▪imposes restrictive measures on the renewable energy sector, including requiring all permits and interconnection agreements to include an early termination clause in the event the renewable energy project fails to make certain additional improvements, at the request of the CRE or CENACE, in accordance with a specific schedule.

IEnova’s renewable energy projects, including those in construction and in service, filed amparo claims against the SENER resolution in June 2020 and received injunctive relief in July 2020. In addition, in June 2020, COFECE, Mexico’s antitrust regulator, filed a complaint with Mexico’s Supreme Court against the SENER resolution. COFECE’s complaint was upheld by the court and, pending the court’s final ruling, the decision suspends indefinitely the resolution.

In May 2020, the CRE approved an update to the transmission rates included in legacy renewables and cogeneration energy contracts, based on the claim that the legacy transmission rates did not reflect fair and proportional costs for providing the applicable services and, therefore, created inequitable competitive conditions. Three of IEnova’s renewables’ facilities are currently holders of contracts with such legacy rates, and any increases in the transmission rates would be passed through directly to their customers. IEnova filed amparo claims for its affected facilities and, in August 2020, was granted injunctive relief.

IEnova and other companies affected by these new orders and regulations have challenged the orders and regulations by filing amparo claims, some of which have been granted injunctive relief. The court-ordered injunctions provide relief until Mexico’s Federal District Court ultimately resolves the amparo claims or, with respect to the SENER resolution, until Mexico’s Supreme

87

Court issues its final ruling on COFECE’s complaint, the timing of which is uncertain. An unfavorable final decision on these amparo challenges, or the potential for an extended dispute, could impact our ability to successfully complete construction of our solar facilities, or to complete them in a timely manner and within expected budgets, may impact our ability to operate our wind and solar facilities already in service at existing levels or at all, and may adversely affect our ability to develop new projects, any of which may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows and our ability to recover the carrying values of our renewable energy investments in Mexico.

In October 2020, the CRE approved a resolution to amend the rules for the inclusion of new offtakers of legacy generation and self-supply permits (the Offtaker Resolution), which became effective immediately. The Offtaker Resolution prohibits self-supply permit holders from adding new offtakers that were not included in the original development or expansion plans, making modifications to the amount of energy allocated to the named offtakers, and including load centers that have entered into a supply arrangement under Mexico’s Electricity Industry Law. Don Diego Solar and Border Solar (two of IEnova’s projects currently in construction) and the Ventika wind power generation facilities are holders of legacy self-supply permits and are impacted by the Offtaker Resolution. If IEnova is not able to obtain legal protection for these impacted facilities, IEnova expects it will sell capacity affected by the Offtaker Resolution into the spot market. Currently, prices in the spot market are significantly lower than the fixed prices in the PPAs that were entered into through self-supply permits. IEnova is evaluating the legal procedures to challenge the Offtaker Resolution.

Other Litigation

RBS Sempra Commodities

Sempra Energy holds an equity method investment in RBS Sempra Commodities, a limited liability partnership in the process of being liquidated. RBS, now NatWest Markets plc, our partner in the JV, paid an assessment of £86 million (approximately $138 million in U.S. dollars) 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 J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. 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. Trial on the matter, which could include the assessment of a penalty of up to 100% of the claimed amount, is scheduled to begin in June 2021.

In 2015, liquidators filed a claim in the High Court of Justice against RBS and Mercuria Energy Europe Trading Limited (the Defendants) on behalf of 10 companies (the Liquidating Companies) that engaged in carbon credit trading via chains that included a company that traded directly with RBS SEE. The claim alleges that the Defendants’ participation in the purchase and sale of carbon credits resulted in the Liquidating Companies’ carbon credit trading transactions creating a VAT liability they were unable to pay, and that the Defendants are liable to provide for equitable compensation due to dishonest assistance and for compensation under the U.K. Insolvency Act of 1986. Trial on the matter was held in June and July of 2018. In March 2020, the High Court of Justice rendered its judgment mostly in favor of the Liquidating Companies and awarded damages of approximately £45 million (approximately $58 million in U.S. dollars at September 30, 2020), plus costs and interest. In October 2020, the High Court of Justice issued an order granting the Defendants permission to appeal its March 2020 judgment to the Court of Appeal, and the Defendants have filed an application for such appeal.

Although the final outcome of both the High Court of Justice case and First-Tier Tribunal case remains uncertain, we recorded $100 million in equity losses from our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities in Equity Earnings on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which represents an estimate of our obligations to settle pending tax matters and related legal costs.

Asbestos Claims Against EFH Subsidiaries

Certain EFH subsidiaries that we acquired as part of the merger of EFH with an indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy are defendants in personal injury lawsuits brought in state courts throughout the U.S. As of November 2, 2020, 275 such lawsuits are pending with 182 such lawsuits having been served. These cases allege illness or death as a result of exposure to asbestos in power plants designed and/or built by companies whose assets were purchased by predecessor entities to the EFH subsidiaries, and generally assert claims for product defects, negligence, strict liability and wrongful death. They seek compensatory and punitive damages. Additionally, in connection with the EFH bankruptcy proceeding, approximately 28,000 proofs of claim were filed on behalf of persons who allege exposure to asbestos under similar circumstances and assert the right to file such lawsuits in the future. We anticipate additional lawsuits will be filed. None of these claims or lawsuits were discharged in the EFH bankruptcy proceeding. The costs to defend or resolve these lawsuits and the amount of damages that may be imposed or incurred could have a material adverse effect on Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

88

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.

LEASES

We discuss leases further in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

A lease exists when a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception of the contract.

Some of our lease agreements contain nonlease components, which represent activities that transfer a separate good or service to the lessee. As the lessee for both operating and finance leases, we have elected to combine lease and nonlease components as a single lease component for real estate, fleet vehicles, power generating facilities, and pipelines, whereby fixed or in-substance fixed payments allocable to the nonlease component are accounted for as part of the related lease liability and ROU asset. As the lessor, we have elected to combine lease and nonlease components as a single lease component for real estate and power generating facilities if the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease and nonlease components are the same and the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately.

Lessee Accounting

We have operating and finance leases for real and personal property (including office space, land, fleet vehicles, machinery and equipment, warehouses and other operational facilities) and finance leases for PPAs with renewable energy and peaker plant facilities.

We provide supplemental noncash information for operating and finance leases below.

Lessor Accounting

Sempra Mexico is a lessor for certain of its natural gas and ethane pipelines, compressor stations and LPG storage facilities.

Generally, we recognize operating lease income on a straight-line basis over the lease term and evaluate the underlying asset for impairment. Certain of our leases contain rate adjustments or are based on foreign currency exchange rates that may result in lease payments received that vary in amount from one period to the next.

We provide information below for leases for which we are the lessor.

CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS

We discuss below significant changes in the first nine months of 2020 to contractual commitments discussed in Notes 1 and 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Natural Gas Contracts

SoCalGas’ minimum purchase obligations for natural gas have increased by $54 million since December 31, 2019 primarily due to new purchase obligations entered into in the first nine months of 2020. Net future payments are expected to increase by $11 million in 2020, $43 million in 2021 and decrease by negligible amounts thereafter compared to December 31, 2019.

SoCalGas’ interstate pipeline capacity agreement commitments have increased by $597 million since December 31, 2019 primarily due to new capacity agreements entered into in the first nine months of 2020, which replace existing or expiring agreements. Net future payments are expected to decrease by $90 million in 2020, and increase by $17 million in 2021, $88 million in 2022, $100 million in 2023, $90 million in 2024 and $392 million thereafter compared to December 31, 2019.

Sempra LNG’s natural gas contracts and natural gas storage and transportation commitments have increased by $567 million since December 31, 2019, primarily from entering into new storage and transportation contracts in the first nine months of 2020. We expect future payments to decrease by $44 million in 2020, and increase by $73 million in 2021, $38 million in 2022, $34 million in 2023, $30 million in 2024 and $436 million thereafter compared to December 31, 2019.

LNG Purchase Agreement

Sempra LNG has a sale and purchase agreement for the supply of LNG to the ECA LNG Regasification facility. The commitment amount is calculated using a predetermined formula based on estimated forward prices of the index applicable from 2020 to 2029. 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. At September 30, 2020, we expect the commitment amount to decrease by $238 million in 2020, increase by $94 million in 2021, increase by $40 million in 2022, increase by $7 million in 2023, decrease by $12 million in 2024 and decrease by $56 million thereafter (through contract termination in 2029) compared to December 31, 2019, reflecting changes in estimated forward prices since December 31, 2019 and actual transactions for the first nine months of 2020. These LNG commitment amounts are based on the assumption that all LNG cargoes, less those already confirmed to be diverted, under the agreement are delivered. 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.

NOTE 12. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have five separately managed reportable segments, as follows:

▪SDG&E provides electric service to San Diego and southern Orange counties and natural gas service to San Diego County.

▪SoCalGas is a natural gas distribution utility, serving customers throughout most of Southern California and part of central California.

▪Sempra Texas Utilities holds our investment in Oncor Holdings, which owns an 80.25% interest in Oncor, a regulated electric transmission and distribution utility serving customers in the north-central, eastern, and western and panhandle regions of Texas; and our indirect, 50% interest in Sharyland Holdings, which owns Sharyland Utilities L.L.C., a regulated electric transmission and distribution utility serving customers near the Texas-Mexico border. As we discuss in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, we acquired our investment in Sharyland Holdings in May 2019.

▪Sempra Mexico develops, owns and operates, or holds interests in, natural gas, electric, LNG, LPG, ethane and liquid fuels infrastructure, and has marketing operations for the purchase of LNG and the purchase and sale of natural gas in Mexico.

▪Sempra LNG develops projects for the export of LNG, holds an interest in a facility for the export of LNG, owns and operates natural gas pipelines, and buys, sells and transports natural gas through its marketing operations, all within the U.S. and Mexico. In February 2019, we completed the sale of our natural gas storage assets at Mississippi Hub and Bay Gas.

In April 2019, Sempra Renewables completed the sale of its remaining wind assets and investments. Upon completion of this sale, remaining nominal business activities at Sempra Renewables were subsumed into Parent and other and the Sempra Renewables segment ceased to exist. The tables below include amounts from Sempra Renewables up until cessation of the segment.

As we discuss in Note 5, the financial information related to our businesses that constituted the Sempra South American Utilities segment is presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The information in the tables below excludes amounts from discontinued operations unless otherwise noted. We completed the sales of our discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2020.

We evaluate each segment’s performance based on its contribution to Sempra Energy’s reported earnings and cash flows. The California Utilities operate in essentially separate service territories, under separate regulatory frameworks and rate structures 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.

The cost of common services shared by the business segments is 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 activities of parent organizations and include certain nominal amounts from our South American businesses that did not qualify for treatment as discontinued operations.

OVERVIEW

Sempra Energy is a California-based energy-services holding company whose businesses invest in, develop and operate energy infrastructure, and provide electric and gas services to customers in North America. As we discuss in Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, our businesses consist of five separately managed reportable segments.

In January 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses, which were previously included in our Sempra South American Utilities segment. We completed the sales in the second quarter of 2020. Our South American businesses and certain activities associated with those businesses are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Nominal activities that are not classified as discontinued operations have been subsumed into Parent and other. Our discussions below exclude discontinued operations, unless otherwise noted.

We provide additional information about discontinued operations in Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and about our reportable segments in Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and in “Part I – Item 1. Business” in the Annual Report.

This report includes information for the following separate registrants:

▪Sempra Energy and its consolidated entities;

▪SDG&E and its consolidated VIE (until deconsolidation of Otay Mesa VIE in August 2019); and

▪SoCalGas.

References to “we,” “us,” “our” and “Sempra Energy Consolidated” are to Sempra Energy and its consolidated entities, collectively, unless otherwise indicated by the context. We refer to SDG&E and SoCalGas collectively as the California Utilities, which do not include our Texas utilities or the utility in our Sempra Mexico segment. It also does not include utilities within our South American businesses that have been presented as discontinued operations. All references in this MD&A to our reportable segments are not intended to refer to any legal entity with the same or similar name.

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 (until deconsolidation of Otay Mesa VIE in August 2019); and

▪the Condensed Financial Statements and related Notes of SoCalGas.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We discuss the following in Results of Operations:

▪Overall results of operations of Sempra Energy;

▪Segment results;

▪Significant changes in revenues, costs and earnings; and

▪Impact of foreign currency and inflation rates on our results of operations.

OVERALL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF SEMPRA ENERGY

In the three months ended September 30, 2020, we reported earnings of $351 million and diluted EPS of $1.21 compared to earnings of $813 million and diluted EPS of $2.84 for the same period in 2019. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we reported earnings of $3.35 billion and diluted EPS of $11.43 compared to earnings of $1.61 billion and diluted EPS of $5.74 for the same period in 2019. The change in diluted EPS in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 included an increase of $0.02 due to a decrease in weighted-average common shares outstanding. The change in diluted EPS in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 included a decrease of $0.53 due to an increase in weighted-average common shares outstanding. Our results and diluted EPS were impacted by variances discussed in “Segment Results” below.

Due to the delay in the issuance of the CPUC’s 2019 GRC FD, the California Utilities recorded revenues in the first half of 2019 based on levels authorized for 2018 under the 2016 GRC. The 2019 GRC FD, which was issued by the CPUC in September 2019, was effective retroactively to January 1, 2019. The California Utilities recorded the retroactive impacts of the 2019 GRC FD in the third quarter of 2019. We provide additional information on the 2019 GRC FD in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

SDG&E

The decrease in earnings of $85 million (32%) in the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to:

▪$66 million favorable impact in 2019 from the retroactive application of the 2019 GRC FD for the first six months of 2019;

▪$29 million expected to be refunded to customers and a fine related to the Energy Efficiency Program inquiry, which we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; and

▪$10 million lower CPUC base operating margin, including higher non-refundable operating costs in 2020, due to the timing impact of the delayed 2019 GRC FD; offset by

▪$13 million higher electric transmission margin; and

▪$6 million higher AFUDC equity.

The increase in earnings of $51 million (9%) in the first nine months of 2020 was primarily due to:

▪$62 million due to the release of a regulatory liability in 2020 related to 2016-2018 forecasting differences that are not subject to tracking in the income tax expense memorandum account, which we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements;

▪$57 million higher electric transmission margin, including an increase in authorized ROE and the following impacts from the March 2020 FERC-approved TO5 settlement:

◦$18 million to conclude a rate base matter, and

◦$9 million favorable impact from the retroactive application of the final TO5 settlement for 2019;

▪$19 million higher AFUDC equity; and

▪$5 million higher CPUC base operating margin authorized for 2020, net of higher non-refundable operating costs; offset by

▪$44 million expected to be refunded to customers and a fine related to the Energy Efficiency Program inquiry;

▪$31 million income tax benefit in 2019 from the release of a regulatory liability established in connection with 2017 tax reform for excess deferred income tax balances that the CPUC directed to be allocated to shareholders in a January 2019 decision; and

▪$11 million higher amortization and accretion of the Wildfire Fund asset and liability, respectively.

▪$21 million impairment of non-utility native gas assets in 2019; and

▪$8 million in penalties in 2019 related to the SoCalGas billing practices OII.

Sempra Texas Utilities

The decrease in earnings of $3 million (1%) in the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to lower equity earnings from Oncor Holdings in 2020, driven mainly by:

▪unfavorable weather and increased operating costs and expenses attributable to invested capital, including depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense and taxes other than income; offset by

▪increased revenues from rate updates to reflect invested capital.

The increase in earnings of $39 million (9%) in the first nine months of 2020 was primarily due to higher equity earnings from Oncor Holdings in 2020, driven mainly by:

▪increased revenues from rate updates to reflect invested capital;

▪the impact of Oncor’s acquisition of InfraREIT in May 2019; and

▪higher AFUDC equity; offset by

▪unfavorable weather and increased operating costs and expenses attributable to invested capital.

Sempra Mexico

Because Ecogas, our natural gas distribution utility in Mexico, uses the local currency as its functional currency, its revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates for the period for consolidation in Sempra Energy’s results of operations. Prior year amounts used in the 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.”

The decrease in earnings of $34 million (40%) in the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to:

▪$57 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency and inflation effects net of foreign currency derivatives effects, comprised of:

◦in 2020, $44 million unfavorable foreign currency and inflation effects, offset by an $11 million gain from foreign currency derivatives, and

◦in 2019, $33 million favorable foreign currency and inflation effects, offset by a $9 million loss from foreign currency derivatives;

▪$12 million higher income tax expense in 2020 primarily from the outside basis differences in JV investments and a valuation allowance; and

▪$6 million higher interest expense; offset by

▪$22 million earnings attributable to NCI at IEnova in 2020 compared to $50 million earnings in 2019; and

▪$7 million higher earnings primarily due to the start of commercial operations of the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan marine pipeline at IMG JV in September 2019.

96

The increase in earnings of $88 million (41%) in the first nine months of 2020 was primarily due to:

▪$191 million favorable impact from foreign currency and inflation effects net of foreign currency derivatives effects, comprised of:

◦in 2020, $251 million favorable foreign currency and inflation effects, offset by a $68 million loss from foreign currency derivatives, and

◦in 2019, $13 million unfavorable foreign currency and inflation effects, offset by a $5 million gain from foreign currency derivatives; and

▪$28 million higher earnings primarily due to the start of commercial operations of the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan marine pipeline at IMG JV in September 2019; offset by

▪$193 million earnings attributable to NCI at IEnova in 2020 compared to $114 million earnings in 2019;

▪$21 million lower earnings at the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline primarily from force majeure payments that ended in August 2019;

▪$13 million higher interest expense;

▪$11 million higher income tax expense in 2020 primarily from lower income tax credits associated with a two-year tax abatement that expires in 2020, and from a valuation allowance and outside basis differences in JV investments; and

▪$5 million lower earnings at TdM primarily due to lower volumes.

Sempra Renewables

As we discuss in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, Sempra Renewables sold its remaining wind assets and investments in April 2019, upon which date the segment ceased to exist.

Sempra LNG

The increase in earnings of $69 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to:

▪$79 million higher equity earnings from Cameron LNG JV primarily due to commencement of Phase 1 commercial operations; offset by

▪$17 million lower earnings from Sempra LNG’s marketing operations primarily driven by changes in natural gas prices.

The increase in earnings of $194 million in the first nine months of 2020 was primarily due to:

▪$185 million higher equity earnings from Cameron LNG JV primarily due to commencement of Phase 1 commercial operations; and

▪$20 million higher earnings from Sempra LNG’s marketing operations primarily driven by changes in natural gas prices.

Parent and Other

The decrease in losses of $13 million (9%) in the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to:

▪$14 million lower operating costs retained at Parent; and

▪$13 million lower net interest expense; offset by

▪$12 million higher preferred stock dividends due to the issuance of series C preferred stock in June 2020.

The increase in losses of $132 million (34%) in the first nine months of 2020 was primarily due to:

▪$100 million equity losses from our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities to settle pending tax matters and related legal costs, which we discuss in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements;

▪$20 million lower net investment gains on dedicated assets in support of our employee nonqualified benefit plan and deferred compensation obligations;

▪$14 million income tax expense in 2020 compared to a $6 million income tax benefit in 2019 primarily due to:

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations that were previously in our Sempra South American Utilities segment include our former 100% interest in Chilquinta Energía in Chile, our former 83.6% interest in Luz del Sur in Peru and our former interests in two energy-services companies, Tecnored and Tecsur, which provide electric construction and infrastructure services to Chilquinta Energía and Luz del Sur, respectively, as well as third parties. Discontinued operations also include activities, mainly income taxes related to the South American businesses, that were previously included in the holding company of the South American businesses at Parent and other.

As we discuss in Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we completed the sales of our South American businesses in the second quarter of 2020. On April 24, 2020, we sold our equity interests in our Peruvian businesses, including our 83.6% interest in Luz del Sur and its interest in Tecsur, for cash proceeds of $3,549 million, net of transaction costs and as adjusted for post-closing adjustments, and on June 24, 2020, we sold our equity interests in our Chilean businesses, including our 100% interest in Chilquinta Energía and Tecnored and our 50% interest in Eletrans, for cash proceeds of $2,216 million, net of transaction costs and as adjusted for post-closing adjustments.

Losses of $7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to earnings of $248 million for the same period in 2019 from our discontinued operations was primarily due to:

▪$192 million income tax benefit in 2019 associated with outside basis in our South American businesses primarily related to a change in the anticipated structure of the sale of those businesses;

▪$80 million lower operational earnings mainly as a result of the sales of our Peruvian businesses in April 2020 and Chilean businesses in June 2020; and

▪$7 million reduction to the gain on sale of our Chilean businesses as a result of post-closing adjustments; offset by

▪$12 million income tax expense in 2019 related to changes in outside basis differences from earnings since January 25, 2019.

The increase in earnings from our discontinued operations of $1,573 million in the first nine months of 2020 was primarily due to:

▪$1,499 million gain on the sale of our Peruvian businesses;

▪$248 million gain on the sale of our Chilean businesses; and

▪$7 million income tax benefit in 2020 compared to $32 million income tax expense in 2019 related to changes in outside basis differences from earnings and foreign currency effects since January 25, 2019; offset by

▪$134 million lower operational earnings mainly as a result of the sales of our Peruvian and Chilean businesses; and

▪$89 million income tax benefit in 2019 related to outside basis differences existing as of the January 25, 2019 approval of our plan to sell our South American businesses.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN REVENUES, COSTS AND EARNINGS

This section contains a discussion of the differences between periods in the specific line items of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas.

Utilities Revenues and Cost of Sales

Our utilities revenues include natural gas revenues at our California Utilities and Sempra Mexico’s Ecogas and electric revenues at SDG&E. 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:

▪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’ Gas Cost Incentive Mechanism 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 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in “Part I – Item 1. Business – Ratemaking Mechanisms” in the Annual Report.

▪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 or refunded in subsequent periods through rates.

▪The California Utilities to recover certain program expenditures and other costs authorized by the CPUC, or “refundable programs.”

98

Because changes in SoCalGas’ and SDG&E’s cost of natural gas and/or electricity are recovered in rates, changes in these costs are offset in the changes in revenues, and therefore do not impact earnings. In addition to the changes in cost or market prices, natural gas or electric revenues recorded during a period are impacted by customer billing cycles 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 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

The California Utilities’ revenues are decoupled from, or not tied to, actual sales volumes. SoCalGas recognizes annual authorized revenue for core natural gas customers using seasonal factors established in the Triennial Cost Allocation Proceeding. Accordingly, a significant portion of SoCalGas’ annual earnings are recognized in the first and fourth quarters of each year. SDG&E’s authorized revenue recognition is also impacted by seasonal factors, resulting in higher earnings in the third quarter when electric loads are typically higher than in the other three quarters of the year. We discuss this decoupling mechanism and its effects further in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

The table below summarizes revenues and cost of sales for our consolidated utilities.

Other Income (Expense), Net

As part of our central risk management function, we enter into foreign currency derivatives to hedge Sempra Mexico parent’s exposure to movements in the Mexican peso from its controlling interest in IEnova. The gains/losses associated with these derivatives are included in Other Income (Expense), Net, as described below, and partially mitigate the transactional effects of foreign currency and inflation included in Income Tax Expense for Sempra Mexico’s consolidated entities and in Equity Earnings for Sempra Mexico’s equity method investments. We also utilized foreign currency derivatives to hedge exposure to fluctuations in the Peruvian sol and Chilean peso related to the sales of our operations in Peru and Chile, respectively. We discuss policies governing our risk management in “Part II – Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the Annual Report.

Other income, net, in the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $29 million compared to other expense, net, of $7 million in the same period in 2019. The change was primarily due to:

▪$34 million net gains in 2020 from interest rate and foreign exchange instruments and foreign currency transactions compared to net losses of $30 million for the same period in 2019 primarily due to:

◦$15 million gains in 2020 compared to $17 million losses in 2019 on a Mexican peso-denominated loan to IMG JV, which is offset in Equity Earnings, and

◦$15 million gains in 2020 compared to $12 million losses in 2019 on foreign currency derivatives as a result of fluctuation of the Mexican peso;

▪$9 million higher AFUDC equity, including $6 million at SDG&E; and

▪$7 million higher investment gains in 2020 on dedicated assets in support of our executive retirement and deferred compensation plans; offset by

▪$35 million higher non-service component of net periodic benefit cost in 2020, including $13 million settlement charges in 2020 for lump sum payments from one of our nonqualified pension plans; and

▪$6 million fine at SDG&E related to the Energy Efficiency Program inquiry.

Other expense, net, in the first nine months of 2020 was $163 million compared to other income, net, of $103 million in the same period in 2019. The change was primarily due to:

▪$224 million net losses in 2020 from interest rate and foreign exchange instruments and foreign currency transactions compared to net gains of $5 million for the same period in 2019 primarily due to:

◦$120 million higher foreign currency losses on a Mexican peso-denominated loan to IMG JV, which is offset in Equity Earnings, and

◦$94 million losses in 2020 compared to $7 million gains in 2019 on foreign currency derivatives as a result of fluctuation of the Mexican peso;

▪$37 million lower investment gains in 2020 on dedicated assets in support of our executive retirement and deferred compensation plans;

▪$26 million higher non-service component of net periodic benefit cost in 2020; and

▪$6 million fine at SDG&E related to the Energy Efficiency Program inquiry; offset by

▪$27 million higher AFUDC equity, including $19 million at SDG&E and $4 million at SoCalGas;

▪$8 million increase in regulatory interest at the California Utilities due to the release of a regulatory liability in 2020 related to 2016-2018 income tax expense forecasting differences; and

▪$8 million in penalties in 2019 related to the SoCalGas billing practices OII.

(1)    We discuss how we recognize equity earnings in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Sempra Energy Consolidated

The increase in income tax expense in the three months ended September 30, 2020 was due to a higher ETR offset by lower pretax income. The change in ETR was primarily due to $41 million income tax expense in 2020 compared to $32 million income tax benefit in 2019 from foreign currency and inflation effects primarily as a result of fluctuation of the Mexican peso.

The decrease in income tax expense in the first nine months of 2020 was due to lower pretax income and a lower ETR. The change in ETR was primarily due to:

▪$237 million income tax benefit in 2020 compared to $7 million income tax expense in 2019 from foreign currency and inflation effects primarily as a result of fluctuation of the Mexican peso; and

▪$19 million income tax benefit in 2020 compared to $5 million income tax expense in 2019 related to share-based compensation; offset by

▪$69 million total income tax benefits in 2019 from the release of regulatory liabilities at SDG&E and SoCalGas established in connection with 2017 tax reform for excess deferred income tax balances that the CPUC directed be allocated to shareholders in a January 2019 decision; and

▪$10 million income tax benefit in 2019 from a reduction in a valuation allowance against certain NOL carryforwards as a result of our decision to sell our South American businesses.

We discuss the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and inflation on income taxes below in “Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations.” See Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and Notes 1 and 8 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.

SDG&E

The decrease in SDG&E’s income tax expense in the three months ended September 30, 2020 was due to lower pretax income and a lower ETR. The change in ETR was primarily due to higher forecasted flow-through items as a percentage of pretax income.

The increase in SDG&E’s income tax expense in the first nine months of 2020 was due to higher pretax income and a higher ETR. The change in ETR was primarily due to $31 million income tax benefit in 2019 from the release of a regulatory liability established in connection with 2017 tax reform for excess deferred income tax balances that the CPUC directed be allocated to shareholders in a January 2019 decision.

105

SoCalGas

SoCalGas’ income tax benefit in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to an income tax expense in the same period in 2019 was due to a pretax loss in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to pretax income in the same period in 2019.

The increase in SoCalGas’ income tax expense in the first nine months of 2020 was due to higher pretax income and a higher ETR. The change in ETR was primarily due to $38 million income tax benefit in 2019 from the release of a regulatory liability established in connection with 2017 tax reform for excess deferred income tax balances that the CPUC directed be allocated to shareholders in a January 2019 decision.

Equity Earnings

In the three months ended September 30, 2020, equity earnings increased by $60 million (23%) to $326 million primarily due to:

▪$99 million higher equity earnings at Cameron LNG JV primarily due to commencement of Phase 1 commercial operations; offset by

▪$29 million lower equity earnings at IMG JV, primarily due to foreign currency effects, including $15 million foreign currency losses in 2020 compared to $17 million foreign currency gains in 2019 on IMG JV’s Mexican peso-denominated loans from its JV owners, which is fully offset in Other Income (Expense), Net, and lower AFUDC equity, offset by higher revenues from the start of commercial operations of the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan marine pipeline.

In the first nine months of 2020, equity earnings increased by $337 million to $822 million primarily due to:

▪$238 million higher equity earnings at Cameron LNG JV primarily due to commencement of Phase 1 commercial operations;

▪$144 million higher equity earnings at IMG JV, primarily due to foreign currency effects, including $120 million higher foreign currency gains in 2020 on IMG JV’s Mexican peso-denominated loans from its JV owners, which is fully offset in Other Income (Expense), Net, and higher revenues from the start of commercial operations of the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan marine pipeline, offset by lower AFUDC equity;

▪$39 million higher equity earnings at Oncor Holdings primarily due to increased revenues, the acquisition of InfraREIT in May 2019 and higher AFUDC equity, offset by unfavorable weather and increased operating costs; and

▪$18 million higher equity earnings at TAG JV primarily due to income tax benefit in 2020 compared to income tax expense in 2019; offset by

▪$100 million equity losses at RBS Sempra Commodities in 2020, which represents an estimate of our obligations to settle pending tax matters and related legal costs at our equity method investment.

Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

In the three months ended September 30, 2020, earnings attributable to NCI decreased by $38 million to $22 million, primarily due to a decrease in earnings attributable to NCI at Sempra Mexico mainly from foreign currency effects as a result of fluctuation of the Mexico peso, and from the sales of our Peruvian businesses in April 2020 and Chilean businesses in June 2020.

In the first nine months of 2020, earnings attributable to NCI increased by $55 million (38%) to $201 million, primarily due to an increase in earnings attributable to NCI at Sempra Mexico mainly from foreign currency effects as a result of fluctuation of the Mexico peso, offset by a decrease due to the sales of our Peruvian businesses in April 2020 and Chilean businesses in June 2020.

IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION RATES ON RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Because 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’s results of operations. We discuss further the impact of foreign currency and inflation rates on results of operations, including impacts on income taxes and related hedging activity, in “Part II – Item 7. MD&A – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” in the Annual Report.

106

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. In the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior-year periods, the change in our earnings as a result of foreign currency translation was not material.

Transactional Impacts

Income statement activities at our foreign operations and their JVs are also impacted by transactional gains and losses, a summary of which is shown in the table below:

TRANSACTIONAL GAINS (LOSSES) FROM FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

OVERVIEW

Sempra Energy Consolidated

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak to be a pandemic. President Donald Trump officially declared a national emergency on March 13, 2020, and the Mexican government announced a national state of sanitary emergency on March 30, 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic is having a significant impact on the economy and people’s livelihoods, including substantial volatility in financial markets and a historic surge in unemployment claims, and has resulted in sweeping action by governments and other authorities to help address these effects. For example:

▪The CPUC required that all energy companies under its jurisdiction, including the California Utilities, take action to implement several emergency customer protection measures to support California customers. The measures apply to all residential and small business customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and include suspending service disconnections due to nonpayment, waiving late payment fees, and offering flexible payment plans for all customers experiencing difficulty paying their electric or gas bills. The CPUC approved a resolution authorizing each of the California Utilities to establish a CPPMA to track and request recovery of incremental costs associated with complying with residential and small business customer protection measures implemented by the CPUC related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including costs associated with suspending service disconnections and uncollectible expenses that arise from these customers’ failure to pay. Although we are tracking these costs in various regulatory mechanisms, recovery is not assured. The continuation of these circumstances could result in a further reduction in payments received from the California Utilities’ customers and a further increase in uncollectible accounts, which could become material, and any inability to recover these costs could have a material adverse effect on the cash flows,

107

financial condition and results of operations of Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas. We discuss regulatory mechanisms in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

▪In Texas, the PUCT issued orders creating the COVID-19 Electricity Relief Program and suspending service disconnections due to nonpayment for customers enrolled in the program through September 30, 2020. The COVID-19 Electricity Relief Program created a fund through which transmission and distribution utilities and retail electric providers in Texas may seek to recover certain costs (including transmission and distribution utility electricity delivery charges) of providing uninterrupted services to customers facing financial hardship due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Financial assistance under the program was available to enrolled residential customers for electricity bills issued on or after March 26, 2020 through September 30, 2020. The PUCT has also authorized the use of a regulatory asset accounting mechanism and a subsequent process through which regulated utility companies may seek future recovery of other expenses resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rate regulation is premised on the full recovery of prudently incurred costs. The regulatory assets established with respect to COVID-19 pandemic costs are subject to PUCT review for reasonableness and possible disallowance. Any inability to recover these costs could have an adverse effect on the cash flows, financial condition and results of operations of Sempra Energy.

▪On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted and signed into law in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Among other things, the CARES Act contains significant business tax provisions, including a delay of payment of employer payroll taxes and an acceleration of refunds of corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT) credits. Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas expect to benefit from deferring payment of the employer’s share of payroll taxes through the end of 2020, with half of such taxes to be paid by the end of 2021 and the other half to be paid by the end of 2022. Sempra Energy has filed a refund claim for its corporate AMT credits and expects to receive approximately $56 million in 2020 rather than in installments through 2021.

Our businesses that invest in, develop and operate energy infrastructure and provide electric and gas services to customers have been identified as critical or essential services in the U.S. and Mexico and have continued to operate throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. As our businesses continue to operate, our priority is the safety of our employees, customers, partners and the communities we serve. We and other companies, including our partners, are taking steps to try to protect the health and well-being of our employees and other stakeholders. For example, we have activated our business continuity plans and continue to work closely with local, state and federal authorities to provide essential services with minimum interruption to customers and in accordance with applicable shelter-in-place and other orders. We have implemented precautionary measures across our businesses, including requiring employees to work remotely when possible, restricting non-essential business travel, increasing facility sanitization and communicating proper health and safety protocols to employees. We also have engaged an infectious disease expert to advise us during this public health crisis. Through the end of the third quarter of 2020, these actions have not required significant outlays of capital and have not had a material impact on our results of operations, but these or other measures that we may implement in the future could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, cash flows, financial position and results of operations if circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic worsen or continue for an extended period of time.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its widespread effects also have impacted our capital plans, including a slowdown of certain of our capital spending, liquidity and asset values, as we discuss with respect to each of our segments below. We perform recovery testing of our recorded asset values when market conditions indicate that such values may not be recoverable. Given the current environment (including the decline in the price of our common stock, financial market volatility, record-high unemployment rates, potential reduction in customer collections, inability to secure permits and other authorizations due to government closures, and governments pursuing new laws or policies that modify pre-existing contract terms or alter operations), we considered whether these events or changes in circumstances triggered the need for an interim impairment analysis for our long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill. We determined that, given the nominal impact on our cash flows, assessment of the impact of these conditions on our businesses and existing headroom in our prior quantitative tests for goodwill, there was no triggering event in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. However, as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve, we will continue to periodically assess the need to perform an interim impairment test and, consistent with prior years, plan to perform our annual goodwill impairment test on October 1, 2020. To the extent the results of any such impairment test reveal that the recorded (carrying) value is in excess of the fair value, we would record an impairment charge in the period of such test. A significant impairment charge related to our long-lived assets, intangible assets or goodwill would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which it is recorded.

For a further discussion of risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, see below in “Part II – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

108

Liquidity

We expect to meet our cash requirements through cash flows from operations, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from recent asset sales, borrowings under our credit facilities, distributions from our equity method investments, issuances of debt, project financing and partnering in JVs. We believe that these cash flow sources, combined with available funds, will be adequate to fund our current operations, including to:

▪finance capital expenditures

▪meet liquidity requirements

▪fund dividends

▪fund new business or asset acquisitions or start-ups

▪fund capital contribution requirements

▪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 reasonable access to the long-term debt markets and are not currently constrained in their ability to borrow money at reasonable rates from commercial banks, under existing revolving credit facilities or through public offerings registered with the SEC. However, the capital markets in general, including particularly the commercial paper markets, and the availability of financing from commercial banks have experienced distress due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and our ability to access the capital markets or obtain credit from commercial banks outside of our committed revolving credit facilities could become materially constrained if changing economic conditions and disruptions to the capital markets, due to the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, worsen or continue for an extended period. In addition, our financing activities and actions by credit rating agencies, as well as many other factors, could negatively 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, and potentially cost overruns, 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. 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.

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 activity in the equity and fixed income markets, have not affected the trust funds’ abilities to make required payments. However, changes in other factors, such as changes to discount rates, assumed rates of return, mortality tables and regulations, may impact funding requirements for pension and other postretirement benefits plans. Funding requirements for SDG&E’s NDT could also be impacted by the timing and amount of SONGS decommissioning costs. 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 9 and 15, respectively, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Available Funds

Our committed lines of credit provide liquidity and support commercial paper. As we discuss in Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Sempra Energy, Sempra Global, SDG&E and SoCalGas each have five-year credit agreements expiring in 2024. In addition, Sempra Mexico has general-purpose credit facilities that expire in 2021 and 2024. The table below shows the amount of available funds at September 30, 2020, including available unused credit on these primary U.S. and foreign lines of credit.

AVAILABLE FUNDS AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
(Dollars in millions)
	Sempra Energy Consolidated		SDG&E		SoCalGas
Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents(1)	$	3,515	$	733	$	304
Available unused credit(2)	7,793		1,500		750

(1)    Amounts at Sempra Energy Consolidated include $439 million held in non-U.S. jurisdictions. We discuss repatriation in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

(2)    Available unused credit is the total available on Sempra Energy’s, Sempra Global’s, SDG&E’s, SoCalGas’ and Sempra Mexico’s credit facilities that we discuss in Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

109

Short-Term Borrowings

We use short-term debt primarily to meet liquidity requirements, fund shareholder dividends, and temporarily finance capital expenditures, acquisitions or start-ups. Our California Utilities use short-term debt primarily to meet working capital needs. Due to volatility in commercial paper markets shortly following the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, commercial paper borrowing became less desirable and, in some cases, not competitive or unavailable. To secure sufficient sources of liquidity during this period, Sempra Energy, Sempra Global, SDG&E, SoCalGas and IEnova each drew amounts under their respective credit facilities and Sempra Energy and SDG&E each also obtained short-term term loans, much of which has been subsequently repaid. Revolving lines of credit, term loans and commercial paper were our primary sources of short-term debt funding in the first nine months of 2020.

We discuss our short-term debt activities in Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Long-Term Debt Activities

Major issuances of and payments on long-term debt in the first nine months of 2020 included the following:

LONG-TERM DEBT ISSUANCES AND PAYMENTS
(Dollars in millions)
Issuances:	Amount at issuance		Maturity
SDG&E variable rate 364-day term loan	$	200	2021
SDG&E variable rate revolving line of credit	200		2024
SDG&E 1.70% first mortgage bonds	800		2030
SDG&E 3.32% first mortgage bonds	400		2050
SoCalGas senior unsecured variable rate notes	300		2023
SoCalGas 2.55% first mortgage bonds	650		2030
Sempra Mexico 2.38% notes	100		2034
Sempra Mexico 2.90% notes	241		2034
Sempra Mexico 4.75% senior unsecured notes	800		2051

SDG&E variable rate revolving line of credit	200		2024
Sempra Mexico variable rate notes	46		2024-2032

SDG&E intends to use the proceeds from its long-term debt offerings to repay commercial paper and its line of credit borrowings, for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Additionally, SDG&E intends to use a portion of the proceeds from its $800 million 1.70% first mortgage bonds offering to repay approximately $250 million of debt, prior to its scheduled maturity.

SoCalGas intends to use the proceeds from its long-term debt offerings to repay commercial paper and for general corporate purposes.

Sempra Mexico used the proceeds from its issuances of long-term debt to finance the construction of solar generation projects, repay line of credit borrowings and for other general corporate purposes.

We discuss our long-term debt activities in Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

110

Sempra Energy Series C Preferred Stock Offering

On June 19, 2020, we issued 900,000 shares of our series C preferred stock in a registered public offering at a price to the public of $1,000 per share and received net proceeds of $889 million after deducting the underwriting discount and equity issuance costs of $11 million. We used the net proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness. We provide additional discussion about this equity offering in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sempra Energy Common Stock Repurchase Programs

As we discuss in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and below in “Part II – Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds,” on July 1, 2020, we entered into an ASR program under which we prepaid $500 million to repurchase shares of our common stock in a share forward transaction. The program was completed on August 4, 2020 with an aggregate of 4,089,375 shares of Sempra Energy common stock repurchased at an average price of $122.27 per share. We funded the $500 million share repurchase with a portion of the proceeds received from the sale of our South American businesses.

Credit Ratings

We provide additional information about the credit ratings of Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Part II – Item 2. MD&A – Capital Resources and Liquidity” in the Annual Report.

The credit ratings of Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas remained at investment grade levels during the first nine months of 2020. On May 29, 2020, Moody’s downgraded SoCalGas’ senior unsecured credit rating to A2 with a stable outlook. On June 9, 2020, Moody’s downgraded Sempra Energy’s senior unsecured and issuer credit ratings to Baa2 with a stable outlook. On September 16, 2020, S&P revised its outlook on SDG&E from stable to negative and affirmed its BBB+ issuer credit rating.

CREDIT RATINGS AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
	Sempra Energy	SDG&E	SoCalGas
Moody’s	Baa2 with a stable outlook	Baa1 with a positive outlook	A2 with a stable outlook
S&P	BBB+ with a negative outlook	BBB+ with a negative outlook	A with a negative outlook
Fitch	BBB+ with a stable outlook	BBB+ with a stable outlook	A with a stable outlook

Our credit ratings may affect the rates at which borrowings bear interest and the commitment fees on available unused credit. A downgrade of Sempra Energy’s or any of its subsidiaries’ credit ratings or rating outlooks may result in a requirement for collateral to be posted in the case of certain financing arrangements and may materially and adversely affect the market prices of their equity and debt securities, the rates at which borrowings are made and commercial paper is issued, and the various fees on their outstanding credit facilities. This could make it more costly for Sempra Energy, SDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra Energy’s other subsidiaries to issue debt securities, to borrow under credit facilities and to raise certain other types of financing.

Sempra Energy has agreed that, if the credit rating of Oncor’s senior secured debt by any of the three major rating agencies falls below BBB (or the equivalent), Oncor will suspend dividends and other distributions (except for contractual tax payments), unless otherwise allowed by the PUCT. Oncor’s senior secured debt was rated A2, A+ and A at Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, at September 30, 2020.

Loans to/from Affiliates

At September 30, 2020, Sempra Energy had $642 million in loans due from unconsolidated affiliates and $271 million in loans due to unconsolidated affiliates.

California Utilities

SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ operations have historically provided relatively stable earnings and liquidity. Their future performance and liquidity will depend primarily on the ratemaking and regulatory process, environmental regulations, economic conditions, actions by the California legislature and the changing energy marketplace, as well as the other matters described in this report and the Annual Report.

SDG&E and SoCalGas expect that the available unused credit from their credit facilities described above, cash flows from operations, and debt issuances will continue to be adequate to fund their respective current operations and planned capital expenditures. The California Utilities are continuing to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on cash flows and results of operations. Some customers are experiencing a diminished ability to pay their electric or gas bills, leading to slower payments and higher levels of nonpayment than has been the case historically. These impacts could become significant and could require

modifications to our financing plans. The California Utilities manage their capital structure and pay dividends when appropriate and as approved by their respective boards of directors.

As we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, changes in balancing accounts for significant costs at SDG&E and SoCalGas, particularly a change between over- and undercollected status, may have a significant impact on cash flows. These changes generally represent the difference between when costs are incurred and when they are ultimately recovered in rates through billings to customers.

Arrearage Management Payment Plan

In June 2020, the CPUC issued a decision addressing service disconnections that, among other things, allows each of the California Utilities to establish a two-way balancing account to record the uncollectible expenses associated with residential customers’ inability to pay their electric or gas bills. This decision also directs the California Utilities to establish an AMP that provides successfully participating, income-qualified residential customers with relief from outstanding utility bill amounts. The California Utilities have recorded increases in their allowances for uncollectible accounts as of September 30, 2020 primarily related to expected forgiveness of outstanding bill amounts for customers eligible under the AMP. The AMP could result in a reduction in payments received from the California Utilities’ customers and further increase uncollectible accounts, which could become material, and any inability to recover these costs could have a material adverse effect on the cash flows, financial condition and results of operations of Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas.

Pipeline Safety Enhancement Plan (PSEP)

In November 2018, SoCalGas and SDG&E filed a joint application with the CPUC for a reasonableness review of PSEP project costs totaling $941 million for 83 pipeline safety enhancement projects. SoCalGas and SDG&E subsequently entered into a settlement agreement for cost recovery of $935 million ($806 million for SoCalGas and $129 million for SDG&E). A final decision was approved in August 2020, granting the proposed settlement agreement as well as the amortization schedule for recovery of costs. The final decision was implemented in rates on October 1, 2020.

SDG&E

Wildfire Fund

In 2019, SDG&E recorded a Wildfire Fund asset for committed shareholder contributions to the Wildfire Fund. We describe the Wildfire Legislation and related accounting treatment in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

SDG&E is exposed to the risk that the participating California electric IOUs may incur third-party wildfire claims for which they will seek recovery from the Wildfire Fund. In such a situation, SDG&E may recognize a reduction of its Wildfire Fund asset and record a charge against earnings in the period when there is a reduction of the available coverage due to recoverable claims from any of the participating IOUs. As a result, if any California electric IOU’s equipment is determined to be a cause of a fire, it could have a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra Energy’s financial condition and results of operations up to the carrying value of our Wildfire Fund asset, with additional potential material exposure if SDG&E’s equipment is determined to be a cause of a fire. In addition, the Wildfire Fund could be completely exhausted due to fires in the other California electric IOUs’ service territories, by fires in SDG&E’s service territory or by a combination thereof. In 2020, California has experienced some of the largest wildfires in its history (measured by acres burned), including fires in SDG&E’s service territory, and there can be no assurance that the equipment of a California electric IOU will not be determined to be a cause of one or more of these fires. In the event that the Wildfire Fund is materially diminished, exhausted or terminated, SDG&E will lose the protection afforded by the Wildfire Fund, and as a consequence, a fire in SDG&E’s service territory could cause a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.

SoCalGas

SoCalGas’ future performance will depend on the resolution of legal, regulatory and other matters concerning the Leak at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, which we discuss further in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and in “Part 1 – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.

112

Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak

From October 23, 2015 through February 11, 2016, SoCalGas experienced a natural gas leak from one of the injection-and-withdrawal wells, SS25, at its Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility located in Los Angeles County. In February 2016, CalGEM confirmed that the well was permanently sealed.

Cost Estimates, Accounting Impact and Insurance. At September 30, 2020, SoCalGas estimates certain costs related to the Leak are $1,440 million (the cost estimate). This cost estimate may increase significantly as more information becomes available. A substantial portion of the cost estimate has been paid, and $268 million is accrued as Reserve for Aliso Canyon Costs and $7 million is accrued in Deferred Credits and Other as of September 30, 2020 on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Except for the amounts paid or estimated to settle certain actions, the cost estimate does not include all litigation or regulatory costs to the extent it is not possible to predict at this time the outcome of these actions or reasonably estimate the costs to defend or resolve the actions or the amount of damages, restitution, or civil, administrative or criminal fines, sanctions, penalties or other costs or remedies that may be imposed or incurred. The cost estimate also does not include certain other costs incurred by Sempra Energy associated with defending against shareholder derivative lawsuits and other potential costs that we currently do not anticipate incurring or that we cannot reasonably estimate. These costs not included in the cost estimate could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

We have received insurance payments for many of the costs included in the cost estimate, including temporary relocation and associated processing costs, control-of-well expenses, costs of the government-ordered response to the Leak, certain legal costs and lost gas. We intend to pursue the full extent of our insurance coverage for the costs we have incurred. Other than directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, after taking into consideration the additional accrual related to litigation matters described in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we have exhausted all of our insurance in this matter, except as to certain defense costs we may incur in the future, including those related to the shareholder derivative lawsuits. We continue to pursue other sources of insurance coverage for costs related to this matter, but we may not be successful in obtaining additional insurance recovery for any of these costs. If we are not able to secure additional insurance recovery for all or a substantial portion of these costs, if any costs we have recorded as an insurance receivable are not collected, if there are delays in receiving insurance recoveries, or if the insurance recoveries are subject to income taxes while the associated costs are not tax deductible, such amounts, which could be significant, could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

As of September 30, 2020, we recorded the expected recovery of the cost estimate related to the Leak of $504 million as Insurance Receivable for Aliso Canyon Costs on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount is exclusive of insurance retentions and $775 million of insurance proceeds we received through September 30, 2020. If we were to conclude that this receivable or a portion of it is 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.

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 is the largest SoCalGas storage facility and an important element of SoCalGas’ delivery system. As a result of the Leak, SoCalGas suspended injection of natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility beginning in October 2015 and, following a comprehensive safety review and authorization by CalGEM and the CPUC’s Executive Director, resumed limited injection operations in July 2017.

During the suspension period, SoCalGas advised the California ISO, California Energy Commission, CPUC and Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration of its concerns that the inability to inject natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility posed a risk to energy reliability in Southern California. The CPUC has issued a series of directives to SoCalGas specifying the range of working gas to be maintained in the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility as well as protocols for the withdrawal of gas, to help ensure safe and reliable natural gas service, while helping to maintain stable energy prices in Southern California. Limited withdrawals of natural gas from the facility were made in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to augment natural gas supplies during critical demand periods.

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. If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were to be permanently closed, or if future cash flows from its operation 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 September 30, 2020, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage

113

facility had a net book value of $788 million. Any significant impairment of this asset, or higher operating costs and additional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas that may not be recoverable in customer rates, could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Sempra Texas Utilities

Oncor’s business is capital intensive, and it relies on external financing as a significant source of liquidity for its capital requirements. In the past, Oncor has financed a substantial portion of its cash needs from operations and with proceeds from indebtedness. In the event that Oncor fails to meet its capital requirements, we may be required to make additional capital contributions to Oncor, or if Oncor is unable to access sufficient capital to finance its ongoing needs, we may elect to make additional capital contributions to Oncor (as our commitments to the PUCT prohibit us from making loans to Oncor) which could be substantial and which would reduce the cash available to us for other purposes, could increase our indebtedness and could ultimately materially adversely affect our results of operations, liquidity, financial condition and prospects.

Oncor’s ability to pay dividends may be limited by factors such as its credit ratings, regulatory capital requirements, debt-to-equity ratio approved by the PUCT and other restrictions. In addition, Oncor will not pay dividends if a majority of Oncor’s independent directors or any minority member director determines it is in the best interests of Oncor to retain such amounts to meet expected future requirements.

Sempra Mexico

Construction Projects and Related Regulatory Matters

Sempra Mexico is currently building or developing terminals for the receipt, storage, and delivery of liquid fuels in the new port of Veracruz and vicinity of Mexico City, Puebla, Topolobampo, Manzanillo, and Ensenada. Sempra Mexico is also constructing new solar facilities in Juárez, Chihuahua, and Benjamin Hill, Sonora, through which it intends to supply renewable energy to several private companies. We expect to fund these capital expenditures and investments, operations and dividends at IEnova with available funds, including credit facilities, and funds internally generated by the Sempra Mexico businesses, as well as funds from project financing, sales of securities, interim funding from the parent or affiliates, and partnering in JVs. We expect the projects to commence commercial operations on various dates in 2020 and 2021. However, expected commencement dates could be delayed by worsening or extended disruptions of project construction or development caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Sempra Mexico is continuing to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on cash flows and results of operations. See “Part II – Item 1A. Risk Factors” below.

As we discuss in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in the second quarter of 2020, certain Mexican governmental agencies issued orders and regulations that would reduce or limit the renewable energy sector’s participation in the country’s energy market. Those orders would, among other things, create barriers for renewable energy facilities to enter the wholesale electricity market, prevent renewable energy projects currently in construction from reaching operations and increase grid fees for legacy renewables and cogeneration energy contract holders. IEnova and other companies affected by such measures, certain non-governmental environmental organizations or advocacy groups, and COFECE, Mexico’s antitrust regulator, have filed legal complaints with the respective Mexican courts to prevent such measures from going into effect. In most cases, the courts have sided with the complainants and such measures have been stayed temporarily. The court-ordered injunctions provide relief until Mexico’s Federal District Court ultimately resolves the amparo claims (constitutional protection lawsuits) or, with respect to the SENER resolution, until Mexico’s Supreme Court issues its final ruling on COFECE’s complaint, the timing of which is uncertain. An unfavorable final decision on these amparo challenges, or the potential for an extended dispute, could impact our ability to successfully complete construction of our solar facilities, or to complete them in a timely manner and within expected budgets, may impact our ability to operate our wind and solar facilities already in service at existing levels or at all, and may adversely affect our ability to develop new projects, any of which may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows and our ability to recover the carrying values of our renewable energy investments in Mexico.

The ability to successfully complete major construction projects is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. For a discussion of these risks and uncertainties, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.

Other Legal and Regulatory Matters

As we discuss in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, IEnova received force majeure payments for the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline from August 2017 to August 2019. Under an agreement between IEnova and the CFE, the CFE will resume making payments only when the damaged section of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline is repaired. If the pipeline is not repaired by March 14, 2021 and the parties do not agree on a new service start date, IEnova retains the right to terminate the contract and seek to recover its reasonable and documented costs and lost profits. If

114

IEnova is unable to make such repairs (which have not commenced) and resume operations in the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline or if IEnova terminates the contract and is unable to obtain recovery, there may be a material adverse impact on Sempra Energy’s results of operations and cash flows and our ability to recover the carrying value of our investment. At September 30, 2020, the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline had a net book value of $446 million.

In May 2020, the two third-party capacity customers at the ECA LNG Regasification facility, Shell Mexico and Gazprom, asserted that a 2019 update of the general terms and conditions for service at the facility, as approved by the CRE, resulted in a breach of contract by IEnova and a force majeure event. Citing these circumstances, the customers subsequently stopped making payments of amounts due under their respective LNG storage and regasification agreements. IEnova has rejected the customers’ assertions and has drawn (and expects to continue to draw) on the customers’ letters of credit provided as payment security. The parties engaged in discussions under the applicable contractual dispute resolution procedures without coming to a mutually acceptable resolution. In July 2020, Shell Mexico submitted a request for arbitration of the dispute. IEnova will avail itself of its available claims, defenses and remedies in the arbitration proceeding. Gazprom has since replenished the amounts drawn on its letter of credit and has resumed making regular monthly payments under its LNG storage and regasification agreement. In October 2020, IEnova was informed by Gazprom of its consent to join the arbitration proceeding initiated by Shell Mexico against the ECA LNG Regasification facility and is awaiting the formalization of Gazprom’s recognition as a claimant party in such arbitration. IEnova intends to enforce its rights in the arbitration process, seeking to dismiss the customers’ claims. Shell Mexico also filed a constitutional challenge to the CRE’s approval of the update to the general terms and conditions. In October 2020, Shell Mexico’s request to stay CRE’s approval was denied and, subsequently, Shell Mexico filed an appeal of that decision.

IEnova Common Stock Repurchase Fund

In April 2020, IEnova’s shareholders approved an increase to a previously approved fund for IEnova to repurchase shares of its common stock for a maximum amount of $500 million, increased from $250 million. As of November 5, 2020, IEnova has repurchased 81,742,780 shares of its outstanding common stock held by NCI for approximately $248 million since the inception of the fund in 2018.

Sempra LNG

Sempra LNG owns a 50.2% interest in Cameron LNG JV and is currently developing additional LNG export facilities on the Gulf coast and Pacific coast of North America through its proposed Cameron LNG JV liquefaction expansion project, ECA LNG JV liquefaction export project in Mexico, and Port Arthur LNG liquefaction export project in Texas. We expect Sempra LNG to require funding for the development and expansion of its portfolio of projects, which may be financed through a combination of operating cash flows, funding from the parent, project financing and participating in JVs, including ECA LNG JV with IEnova.

North American natural gas prices, when in decline, negatively affect profitability at Sempra LNG. Our LNG projects currently under development have been delayed and could face additional delays due to, among other reasons, the worldwide economic slowdown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the current uncertainty in the global oil and gas markets, or a combination of these factors. For a discussion of these risks and other risks involving changing commodity prices and the risk of completing LNG development projects, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report and in “Part II – Item 1A. Risk Factors” below.

Cameron LNG JV Three-Train Liquefaction Project (Phase 1)

Sempra LNG, through its interest in Cameron LNG JV, operates a three-train natural gas liquefaction facility with an export capability of 12 Mtpa of LNG. Construction on the three-train liquefaction export project began in the second half of 2014. The majority of the construction was project-financed at the JV, with most or all of the remainder of the capital requirements provided by the project partners, including Sempra Energy, through equity contributions under the project equity agreements. Cameron LNG JV achieved commercial operations of Train 1, Train 2 and Train 3 under its tolling agreements in August 2019, February 2020 and August 2020, respectively.

While construction of the Phase 1 facility has been completed, many of the risks related to the construction of the facility continue to apply after completion, including among others, the potential for unforeseen design flaws, engineering challenges, equipment failures, severe weather events, global pandemics, and other operational issues, which could cause the facility to suspend operations or operate at a reduced capacity or could materially increase the facility’s operating costs. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on Sempra Energy’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

As we discuss below in “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” and in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, Sempra Energy has guaranteed a maximum of up to $4.0 billion related to Cameron LNG JV’s project financing and financing-related agreements. These guarantees terminate upon Cameron LNG JV achieving “financial completion”

115

of the initial three-train liquefaction project, including all three trains achieving commercial operation and meeting certain operational performance tests. Cameron LNG JV’s financing agreements contain events of default customary for such financings, including a failure to achieve financial completion of the project by a financial completion deadline date of September 30, 2021 (with up to an additional 365 days extension beyond such date permitted in cases of force majeure). Pursuant to the financing agreements, Cameron LNG JV is restricted from making distributions to its project owners during the nine-month period ending September 30, 2021 until it has achieved financial completion. Given the impacts of weather-related events in August and September of 2020 on Cameron LNG JV’s operations, including the ability to commence certain operational performance tests, there will be delays in Cameron LNG JV making distributions to its project owners, including Sempra LNG, until achieving financial completion, at which time any deferred distributions will be released. A delay that results in a failure to achieve financial completion by September 30, 2021 would result in an event of default under Cameron LNG JV’s financing agreements and a potential demand on Sempra Energy’s guarantees. We anticipate that the guarantees will be terminated approximately nine months after all three trains achieved commercial operation. If, due to Cameron LNG JV’s failure to satisfy the financial completion criteria by the applicable deadline, we are required to repay some or all of the $4.0 billion under our guarantees, any such repayments could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and/or prospects.

For additional discussion about our investment in Cameron LNG JV, JV financing, the risks discussed above and other risks relating to the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction export project that could adversely affect our future performance, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.

Cameron LNG JV Liquefaction Expansion Project (Phase 2)

Cameron LNG JV has received the major permits and FTA and non-FTA approvals necessary to expand the current configuration of the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction project beyond Phase 1. The permits obtained for Phase 2 include up to two additional liquefaction trains and up to two additional full containment LNG storage tanks (one of which was permitted with the original three-train project).

Expansion of the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction facility beyond the first three trains is subject to certain restrictions and conditions under the JV project financing agreements, including among others, timing restrictions on expansion of the project unless appropriate prior consent is obtained from the project 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. Discussions among all the Cameron LNG JV partners have been taking place regarding how an expansion may be structured and we expect that discussions will continue. There can be no assurance that the Cameron LNG JV members will unanimously agree on an expansion structure, which, if not accomplished, could materially and adversely impact the development of the expansion project. In light of this and other considerations described below, we are unable to predict whether or when Cameron LNG JV might be able to move forward on expansion of the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction facility beyond the first three trains.

In November 2018, Sempra Energy and TOTAL SE entered into an MOU that provides a framework for cooperation for the development of the potential Cameron LNG JV expansion project and the potential ECA LNG JV liquefaction export project that we describe below. The MOU contemplates TOTAL SE potentially contracting for up to approximately 9 Mtpa of LNG offtake across these two development projects. In addition, in October 2019, Sempra Energy and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. entered into an MOU that provides a framework for potential offtake by Mitsui & Co., Ltd. from the potential Cameron LNG JV expansion project and the second phase of the potential ECA LNG JV liquefaction project. In May 2020, Sempra Energy and Mitsubishi Corporation entered into an MOU that provides a framework for development of and potential offtake by Mitsubishi Corporation from the potential Cameron LNG JV expansion project. The ultimate participation of and offtake by TOTAL SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation remains subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors, and TOTAL SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation have no commitment to participate in or offtake from the projects.

The development of the potential Cameron LNG JV expansion project is subject to numerous other risks and uncertainties, including securing binding customer commitments; reaching unanimous agreement with our partners to proceed; obtaining a number of permits and regulatory approvals; securing financing; negotiating and completing suitable commercial agreements, including a definitive EPC contract, equity acquisition and governance agreements; reaching a final investment decision; and other factors associated with this potential investment. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.

ECA LNG JV Liquefaction Export Projects

Through a JV agreement, Sempra LNG and IEnova are developing two proposed natural gas liquefaction export projects at IEnova’s existing ECA LNG Regasification facility. The proposed liquefaction export projects, which are planned for development in two phases (a mid-scale project referred to as ECA LNG JV Phase 1 and a large-scale project referred to as ECA LNG JV Phase 2), are being developed to provide buyers with direct access to West Coast LNG supplies. The ECA LNG Regasification facility currently has long-term regasification contracts for 100% of the regasification facility’s capacity through 2028, which historically have been profitable (however, see the discussion under “Sempra Mexico” in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements regarding ongoing disputes with the two third-party capacity customers at the ECA LNG Regasification facility), making the decisions on whether and how to pursue the ECA LNG JV Phase 2 project dependent in part on whether the investment in a large-scale liquefaction facility would, over the long term, be more beneficial financially than continuing to supply regasification services under our existing contracts. We do not believe that the development of ECA LNG JV Phase 1 will disrupt operations at the ECA LNG Regasification facility.

In March 2019, ECA LNG JV received two authorizations from the DOE to export U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and to re-export LNG to non-FTA countries from its proposed ECA LNG JV Phase 1 project, a one-train natural gas liquefaction facility with a nameplate capacity of 3.25 Mtpa and initial offtake capacity of approximately 2.5 Mtpa, and its proposed ECA LNG JV Phase 2 project, each of which is in development.

On February 27, 2020, we entered into an EPC contract with TechnipFMC for the engineering, procurement and construction of ECA LNG JV Phase 1. We have no obligation to move forward on the EPC contract, and we may release TechnipFMC to perform portions of the work pursuant to limited notices to proceed. We plan to fully release TechnipFMC to perform all of the work to construct ECA LNG JV Phase 1 only after we reach a final investment decision with respect to the project and after certain other conditions are met. The total price of the EPC contract for ECA LNG JV Phase 1 is estimated at approximately $1.5 billion, which TechnipFMC has agreed to uphold until November 13, 2020, at which time the EPC contract, including the price, may be subject to renegotiation. We estimate that capital expenditures for the proposed ECA LNG JV Phase 1 will approximate $2.0 billion, including capitalized interest and project contingency. The actual cost of the EPC contract and the actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ, perhaps substantially, from our estimates.

In April 2020, ECA LNG JV executed definitive 20-year LNG sale and purchase agreements with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and an affiliate of TOTAL SE for approximately 0.8 Mtpa of LNG and 1.7 Mtpa of LNG from ECA LNG JV Phase 1, respectively. Each agreement remains subject to certain customary conditions of effectiveness, including our final investment decision for the project. The MOU with TOTAL SE, provides a framework for it to acquire an equity interest in ECA LNG JV Phase 1. In addition, the MOU with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. provides a framework for Mitsui & Co., Ltd.’s potential offtake of LNG from, and potential acquisition of an equity interest in, ECA LNG JV Phase 2. We discuss these MOUs further under “Cameron LNG JV Liquefaction Expansion Project (Phase 2)” above.

A final investment decision for ECA LNG JV Phase 1 is contingent on the receipt of an export permit from the Mexican government. Operations at certain relevant regulatory agencies in Mexico remain limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has added to the uncertainty of the timing of the receipt of this permit and is contributing to a delay of our final investment decision.

The development of both the ECA LNG JV Phase 1 and ECA LNG JV Phase 2 projects is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including obtaining binding customer commitments for Phase 2; the receipt of a number of permits and regulatory approvals; obtaining financing; negotiating and completing suitable commercial agreements, including a definitive EPC contract for Phase 2, equity acquisition and governance agreements, LNG sales agreements and gas supply and transportation agreements; reaching a final investment decision for Phase 1 and Phase 2; and other factors associated with this potential investment. In addition, as we discuss in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, an unfavorable decision on certain property disputes or permit challenges, or an extended dispute with existing customers at the ECA LNG Regasification facility, could materially and adversely affect the development of these projects and Sempra Energy’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects, including the impairment of all or a substantial portion of the capital costs invested in the projects to date. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.

Port Arthur LNG Liquefaction Export Project

Sempra LNG is developing a proposed natural gas liquefaction export project on a greenfield site that it owns in the vicinity of Port Arthur, Texas, located along the Sabine-Neches waterway. Sempra LNG received authorizations from the DOE in August 2015 and May 2019 that collectively permit the LNG to be produced from the proposed Port Arthur LNG project to be exported to all current and future FTA and non-FTA countries.

In April 2019, the FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the proposed Port Arthur LNG liquefaction facility,

117

along with certain natural gas pipelines, including the Louisiana Connector and Texas Connector Pipelines, that could be used to supply feed gas to the liquefaction facility, assuming the project is completed.

On February 28, 2020, we entered into an EPC contract with Bechtel for the proposed Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project. The EPC contract contemplates the construction of two liquefaction trains with a nameplate capacity of approximately 13.5 Mtpa, two LNG storage tanks, a marine berth and associated loading facilities and related infrastructure necessary to provide liquefaction services. We have no obligation to move forward on the EPC contract, and we may release Bechtel to perform portions of the work pursuant to limited notices to proceed. We plan to fully release Bechtel to perform all of the work to construct the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction export project only after we reach a final investment decision with respect to the project and after certain other conditions are met, including obtaining project financing. When the EPC contract was executed, the price was estimated to be approximately $8.9 billion, depending on the timing of a full notice to proceed. Since we did not issue a full notice to proceed by October 15, 2020, we are in discussions with Bechtel regarding changes to the project schedule and renegotiating the EPC contract price. Any changes to the EPC contract will require the agreement of both parties, which cannot be assured.

In December 2018, Polish Oil & Gas Company (PGNiG) and Port Arthur LNG entered into a definitive 20-year agreement for the sale and purchase of 2 Mtpa of LNG per year from the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction export project. Under the agreement, LNG purchases by PGNiG from Port Arthur LNG will be made on a free-on-board basis, with PGNiG responsible for shipping the LNG from the Port Arthur facility to the final destination. Port Arthur LNG will manage the gas pipeline transportation, liquefaction processing and cargo loading. The agreement is subject to certain conditions precedent, including Port Arthur LNG making a positive final investment decision within certain agreed timelines. The failure of these conditions precedent to be satisfied or waived within the agreed timelines could result in the termination of the agreement.

In May 2019, Aramco Services Company and Sempra LNG signed a Heads of Agreement for the negotiation of a definitive 20-year LNG sale and purchase agreement for 5 Mtpa of LNG offtake from the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction export project. The Heads of Agreement also includes the negotiation of a 25% equity investment in the project. In January 2020, Aramco Services Company and Sempra LNG signed an Interim Project Participation Agreement, which sets forth certain mechanisms for the parties to work towards receipt of corporate approvals to enter into and proceed with the transaction, execution of the transaction agreements and the fulfillment or waiver of the conditions precedent contemplated by these agreements, making a final investment decision and other pre-final investment decision activities. The Heads of Agreement and Interim Project Participation Agreement do not obligate the parties to ultimately execute any agreements or participate in the project.

In November 2019, Port Arthur LNG commenced the relocation and upgrade of approximately three miles of highway where the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction export project would be located.

In February 2020, Sempra LNG filed a FERC application for the siting, construction and operation of a second phase at the proposed Port Arthur LNG facility, including the potential addition of two liquefaction trains.

We continue to work on completing all necessary milestones so that we are prepared to make a final investment decision for the proposed Port Arthur LNG liquefaction export project when appropriate. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and the current uncertainty in the energy and financial markets has delayed the expected timing of our final investment decision from 2020 to 2021.

Development of the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction export project is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including obtaining additional customer commitments; completing the required commercial agreements, such as equity acquisitions and governance agreements, LNG sales agreements and gas supply and transportation 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. An unfavorable outcome with respect to any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on Sempra Energy’s financial condition, results of operations and prospects, including the impairment of all or a substantial portion of the capital costs invested in the project to date. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.

Discontinued Operations

As we discuss in Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in January 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses. On April 24, 2020, we completed the sale of our equity interests in our Peruvian businesses for cash proceeds of $3,549 million, net of transaction costs and as adjusted for post-closing adjustments. On June 24, 2020, we completed the sale of our equity interests in our Chilean businesses for cash proceeds of $2,216 million, net of transaction costs and as adjusted for post-closing adjustments.

Our utilities in South America have historically provided relatively stable earnings and liquidity. We used a portion of the proceeds from the sales of these businesses to strengthen our balance sheet by repaying certain short-term borrowings and

118

repurchasing shares of our common stock, and we intend to use the remaining proceeds to focus on capital investment in North America to support additional growth opportunities. We expect the cash provided by earnings from our capital investment will exceed the absence of cash flows from these discontinued operations. However, there can be no assurance that we will derive these anticipated benefits. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to redeploy the capital that we obtained from such sales in a way that results in cash flows or earnings exceeding those historically generated by these businesses.

Capital Expenditures, Investments and Acquisitions

EXPENDITURES FOR PP&E, INVESTMENTS AND ACQUISITIONS
(Dollars in millions)
	Nine months ended September 30,
	2020		2019
SDG&E	$	1,323	$	1,071
SoCalGas	1,345		1,019

Total	$	3,542	$	4,039

The amounts and timing of capital expenditures and certain investments are generally subject to approvals by various regulatory and other governmental and environmental bodies, including the CPUC, the FERC and the PUCT. Excluding discontinued operations, in 2020, we expect to make capital expenditures and investments of approximately $5.6 billion, a decrease from the $5.9 billion projected in “Part II – Item 7. MD&A – Capital Resources and Liquidity” in the Annual Report. The decrease is primarily attributable to a deferral of capital expenditures to 2021 at Sempra Mexico and a delay in our final investment decision for Phase 1 of the ECA LNG JV liquefaction export project at Sempra LNG, partially offset by an increase in contributions to Oncor Holdings.

COMMITMENTS

We discuss significant changes to contractual commitments in the first nine months of 2020, none of which were outside the ordinary course of our business, in Notes 7 and 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

In August 2014 and December 2019, Sempra Energy provided guarantees for 50.2% of Cameron LNG JV’s financing obligations for a maximum amount of up to $4.0 billion. The guarantees will terminate upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including all three trains achieving financial completion by September 30, 2021 (with up to an additional 365-day extension beyond such date permitted in cases of force majeure). However, if Cameron LNG JV fails to satisfy the financial completion criteria, a demand could be made under the guarantee for Sempra Energy’s 50.2% share of Cameron LNG JV’s obligations under the financing arrangements then due and payable, which could have a material adverse impact on Sempra Energy’s liquidity. We discuss these guarantees above in “Overview – Sempra LNG – Cameron LNG JV Three-Train Liquefaction Project (Phase 1),” in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.

In July 2020, Sempra Energy entered into a Support Agreement, which contains a guarantee and represents a variable interest, for the benefit of CFIN with a maximum exposure to loss of $979 million. The guarantee will terminate upon full repayment of the guaranteed debt by 2039, including repayment following an event in which the guaranteed debt is put to Sempra Energy. We discuss this guarantee in Notes 1, 6 and 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

SDG&E has entered into PPAs and tolling agreements that are variable interests. Our investments in Oncor Holdings and Cameron LNG JV are variable interests. Sempra Energy’s other businesses may also enter into arrangements that could include variable interests. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

We view certain accounting policies as critical because their application is the most relevant, judgmental, and/or material to our financial position and results of operations, and/or because they require the use of material judgments and estimates. We discuss these accounting policies in “Part II – Item 7. MD&A” in the Annual Report.

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.

121

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

We discuss the relevant pronouncements that have recently been issued or become effective and have had or may have an impact on our financial statements and/or disclosures in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We provide disclosure regarding derivative activity in Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We discuss our market risk and risk policies in detail in “Part II – Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the Annual Report.

COMMODITY PRICE RISK

In the first nine months of 2020, there were no significant changes in our exposure to commodity price risk.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The table below shows the nominal amount of our debt:

NOMINAL AMOUNT OF DEBT(1)
(Dollars in millions)
	September 30, 2020						December 31, 2019
	Sempra Energy Consolidated		SDG&E		SoCalGas		Sempra Energy Consolidated		SDG&E		SoCalGas
Short-term:
California Utilities	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	710	$	80	$	630
Other	772		—		—		2,798		—		—
Long-term:
California Utilities fixed-rate	$	10,764	$	6,305	$	4,459	$	8,949	$	5,140	$	3,809
California Utilities variable-rate	500		200		300		—		—		—
Other fixed-rate	11,598		—		—		11,561		—		—
Other variable-rate	734		—		—		746		—		—

(1)    After the effects of interest rate swaps. Before the effects of acquisition-related fair value adjustments and reductions for unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, and excluding finance lease obligations.

An 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. Earnings are affected by changes in interest rates on short-term debt and variable-rate long-term debt. If weighted-average interest rates on short-term debt outstanding at September 30, 2020 increased or decreased by 10%, the change in earnings over the next 12-month period ended September 30, 2021 would be negligible. If interest rates increased or decreased by 10% on all variable-rate long-term debt at September 30, 2020, after considering the effects of interest rate swaps, the change in earnings over the next 12-month period ended September 30, 2021 would be approximately $1 million.

FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION RATE RISK

We discuss our foreign currency and inflation exposure in “Part I – Item 2. MD&A – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” in this report and in “Part II – Item 7. MD&A – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” in the Annual Report. We completed the sales of our South American businesses in the second quarter of 2020 and are no longer exposed to changes in foreign currency and inflation rates in Peru and Chile. At September 30, 2020, there were no other significant changes to our exposure to foreign currency rate risk since December 31, 2019.

122

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in their respective reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officers and principal financial officers of Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas, each such company’s management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020, the end of the period covered by this report. 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 as of such date.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There have been no changes in Sempra Energy’s, SDG&E’s or SoCalGas’ 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.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not party to, and our property is not the subject of, any material pending legal proceedings (other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our businesses) except for the matters (1) described in Notes 10 and 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and in Notes 15 and 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, or (2) referred to in “Part II – Item 7. MD&A” in the Annual Report.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

When evaluating our company and its subsidiaries, you should consider carefully the risk factors and all other information contained in this report, including the factors discussed above in “Part I – Item 2. MD&A” and in this section, and in the other documents we file with the SEC, including the factors disclosed in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in the Annual Report. Any of the risk factors and other information discussed in this report or any of the risk factors disclosed in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report, as well as additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial, could materially and adversely affect our businesses, cash flows, results of operations, financial condition, prospects and/or the trading prices of our securities or those of our subsidiaries.

123

Risks Related to All Sempra Energy Businesses

Our business faces risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic is currently materially impacting communities, supply chains and markets around the world. The U.S. economy is experiencing a significant slowdown and claims for unemployment have increased to historic levels. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on our results of operations. However, we are conducting business with substantial modifications to employee travel, employee work locations, and virtualization or cancellation of certain business activities, among other modifications. If these or other similar measures were to increase or continue for an extended period, we could experience employee absenteeism, decreased efficiency and productivity by our workforce and other similar impacts that could jeopardize our ability to sustain operations and satisfy compliance requirements. We also have observed other companies, including our current and prospective counterparties, customers and partners, as well as many governments, including our regulators and other governing bodies that affect our businesses, taking precautionary, preemptive and responsive actions to address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and they may take further actions that alter their normal operations. These actions by third parties could materially impact our operations, results, liquidity and ability to pursue capital projects and strategic initiatives. For example, the CPUC has required that all energy companies under its jurisdiction take action to implement several emergency customer protection measures to support California customers. The measures apply to all residential and small business customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and include suspending service disconnections due to nonpayment, waiving late payment fees, and offering flexible payment plans for customers experiencing difficulty paying their electric or gas bills. These actions have resulted in a reduction in payments received from our customers and an increase in uncollectible accounts, which could become material, and any inability to recover these costs could have a material adverse effect on the cash flows, financial condition and results of operations for Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas. As another example, our final investment decision on Phase 1 of the proposed ECA LNG JV natural gas liquefaction project has been delayed due in part to the closure of non-essential activities in Mexico in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has further hindered our ability to obtain an export permit from the Mexican government that is necessary for the project to proceed. If this or other projects under development are further delayed due to continuing or worsening conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic or other related factors, the performance and prospects of our LNG export business could be materially adversely affected.

In addition, the economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the current uncertainty in the global oil and gas markets, or a combination of these factors, have contributed to the delay of our projected final investment decision on our proposed Port Arthur LNG liquefaction export project from 2020 to 2021. These conditions, as well as potential disruptions of construction and development activity if our project counterparties implement or are required to implement stay-at-home or limited workforce measures in response to the pandemic, could result in substantial further delays of our LNG and other projects currently under development.

Further, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected conditions in the capital markets and may adversely affect our cost of and access to capital, including from the capital markets generally, from commercial paper markets and from commercial banks. Although Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas are not currently constrained in their ability to borrow money at reasonable rates, these circumstances could change if conditions worsen or continue for an extended period, which could have a material negative effect on our liquidity, results of operations, strategic initiatives and prospects. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a slowdown of our capital spending, which could worsen if conditions deteriorate or fail to improve in the near term and which could have a material adverse effect on Sempra Energy’s, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ results of operations and prospects.

We will continue to actively monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and suppliers. However, we cannot at this time predict the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will further impact our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS

The following table sets forth information about our common stock repurchase activity for the three months ended September 30, 2020:

PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
	Total number of shares purchased(1)	Average price paid per share(1)		Total number of shares purchased as part of publicly announced plans or programs(1)	Maximum dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the plans or programs(2)
July 1, 2020 - July 31, 2020	3,296,251	$	122.27	3,296,251	$	2,097
August 1, 2020 - August 31, 2020	793,124	$	122.27	793,124	$	2,000
Total	4,089,375	$	122.27	4,089,375	$	2,000

(1)    On September 11, 2007, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of shares of our common stock, provided that the amounts spent for such purpose do not exceed the greater of $2 billion or amounts spent to purchase no more than 40 million shares. This repurchase authorization had no expiration date. On July 1, 2020, we entered into an ASR program with Citibank, N.A. under which we prepaid $500 million to repurchase shares of our common stock in a share forward transaction. The total number of shares purchased was determined by dividing the $500 million purchase price by the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average trading prices of shares of our common stock during the valuation period of July 2, 2020 through August 4, 2020, minus a fixed discount. The ASR program was completed on August 4, 2020, upon which date the aggregate dollar amount authorized by the September 11, 2007 share repurchase authorization was exhausted.

(2)    On July 6, 2020, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of shares of our common stock at any time and from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of $2 billion or amounts spent to purchase no more than 25 million shares. This repurchase authorization was publicly announced on August 5, 2020 and has no expiration date. No shares have been repurchased under this authorization.

We may also, from time to time, purchase shares of our common stock to which participants would otherwise be entitled from long-term incentive plan participants who elect to sell a sufficient number of shares in connection with the vesting of RSUs and stock options in order to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding requirements.

Name of Recipient:	<NAME>
Recipient’s Employee Number:	<EE ID>
Number of Restricted Stock Units (prior to any dividend equivalents):	<# RSU>
Restricted Stock Units:
Your restricted stock units represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock in the future, subject to the terms and conditions of your award. Your restricted stock units are not shares of Common Stock.
Vesting/Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units:
If not previously forfeited, your restricted stock units will vest in equal annual installments of one-fourth of the original number of units covered by this award (together with related dividend equivalents) on each of the <”first New York Stock Exchange trading days of <YEAR>, <YEAR>, <YEAR> and <YEAR>” [for awards granted on the first New York Stock Exchange trading day of the year] or “first four anniversaries of the award date” [for awards not granted on the first New York Stock Exchange trading day of the year]>, subject to your continued employment by Sempra Energy or its Subsidiaries through the applicable Vesting Date. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Award Agreement, if your employment terminates prior to the applicable Vesting Date, your restricted stock units will be forfeited effective immediately following such termination.

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Award Agreement, your restricted stock units will be forfeited if your employment terminates before such units vest effective immediately following such termination.
Dividend Equivalents:
You also have been awarded dividend equivalents with respect to your restricted stock units. Your dividend equivalents represent the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock in the future, subject to the terms and conditions of your award. Your dividend equivalents will be determined based on the dividends that you would have received had you held shares of Common Stock equal to the vested number of your restricted stock units from the date of your award to the date of the distribution of shares of Common Stock following the vesting of your restricted stock units, and assuming that the dividends were reinvested in Common Stock (and any dividends on such shares were reinvested in Common Stock).

SEMPRA ENERGY

<YEAR> LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

Year <YEAR> Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

Award:	You have been granted a restricted stock unit award under Sempra Energy’s <YEAR> Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The award consists of the number of restricted stock units set forth on the Cover Page/Summary to this Award Agreement, and dividend equivalents with respect to the restricted stock units (described below). Capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement and not defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan. Your restricted stock units represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock in the future, subject to the terms and conditions of your award. Your restricted stock units are not shares of Common Stock. Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock upon the vesting of the unit. Unless and until they vest, your restricted stock units and any dividend equivalents will be subject to transfer restrictions and forfeiture and vesting conditions. Subject to certain exceptions set forth herein, your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) will be forfeited effective immediately following such termination if your employment terminates before they vest; provided, however, that the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine to vest you in all or a portion of such restricted stock units (subject to Code Section 409A requirements and the terms of the Plan). See “Vesting/Forfeiture,” “Transfer Restrictions,” and “Termination of Employment” below.
Vesting/Forfeiture:	Subject to the provisions below relating to the treatment of your restricted stock units in connection with a Change in Control, your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) will vest in equal annual installments of one-fourth of the original number of units covered by this award (together with related dividend equivalents) on each of the <”first New York Stock Exchange trading days of <YEAR>, <YEAR>, <YEAR> and <YEAR>” [for awards granted on the first New York Stock Exchange trading day of the year] or “first four anniversaries of the award date” [for awards not granted on the first New York Stock Exchange trading day of the year]>, subject to your continued employment by Sempra Energy or its Subsidiaries through the applicable vesting date and the terms of this Award Agreement. Certificates for the shares will transferred to your brokerage account unless you specifically instruct otherwise. When the shares of Common Stock are issued to you, your restricted stock units (vested and unvested) and your dividend equivalents will terminate.
Transfer Restrictions:	You may not sell or otherwise transfer or assign your restricted stock units (or your dividend equivalents).

3

Dividend Equivalents & Capitalization Adjustments:	You also have been awarded dividend equivalents with respect to your restricted stock units. Your dividend equivalents represent the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock in the future, subject to the terms and conditions of your award. Your dividend equivalents will be determined based on the dividends that you would have received had you held shares of Common Stock equal to the vested number of your restricted stock units from the date of your award to the date of the distribution of shares of Common Stock following the vesting of your restricted stock units, and assuming that the dividends were reinvested in Common Stock (and any dividends on such shares were reinvested in Common Stock). The dividends will be deemed reinvested in Common Stock in the same manner as dividends reinvested pursuant to the terms of the Sempra Energy Direct Stock Purchase Plan (also known as the Sempra Energy Dividend Reinvestment Plan). Your dividend equivalents will be subject to the same transfer restrictions and forfeiture and vesting conditions as your restricted stock units. They will vest when and to the extent that your restricted stock units vest. Also, your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents), including the terms and conditions thereof, will, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, be substituted or adjusted, as applicable, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. Any additional restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) awarded to you as a result of such substitution or adjustment also will be subject to the same transfer restrictions, forfeiture and vesting conditions and other terms and conditions that are applicable to your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents).
No Shareholder Rights:	Your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) are not shares of Common Stock. You will have no rights as a shareholder unless and until shares of Common Stock are issued to you following the vesting of your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) as provided in this Award Agreement and the Plan.
Distribution of Shares:	Following the vesting of your restricted stock units, you will receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of your restricted stock units that have vested. However, in no event will you receive under this award, and other awards granted to you under the Plan in the same fiscal year of Sempra Energy, more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock permitted under the Plan. Also, you will receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to your vested dividend equivalents. You will receive the shares as soon as reasonably practicable following each vesting date (and in no event later than March 15 of the year following the applicable vesting date). Once you receive the shares of Common Stock, your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) will terminate.
Termination of Employment:
Termination:	If your employment with Sempra Energy and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason other than by reason of your death prior to the vesting of your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents), all of your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) will be forfeited effective immediately following such termination; provided, however, that the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion may determine to vest you in all or a portion of such restricted stock units (subject to Code Section 409A requirements and the terms of the Plan). If your employment terminates by reason of your death prior to the vesting of your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents), all of your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) will vest upon your death.

4

Termination for Cause:	If your employment with Sempra Energy and its Subsidiaries terminates for cause, or your employment would have been subject to termination for cause, prior to the vesting of your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents), all of your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) will be forfeited effective immediately following such termination. Prior to the consummation of a Change in Control, a termination for cause is (i) the willful failure by you to substantially perform your duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness), (ii) the grossly negligent performance of such obligations referenced in clause (i) of this definition, (iii) your gross insubordination; and/or (iv) your commission of one or more acts of moral turpitude that constitute a violation of applicable law (including but not limited to a felony) which have or result in an adverse effect on the Company, monetarily or otherwise, or one or more significant acts of dishonesty. For purposes of clause (i), no act, or failure to act, on your part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by you not in good faith and without reasonable belief that your act, or failure to act, was in the best interests of the Company. If your restricted stock units remain outstanding following a Change in Control pursuant to a Replacement Award, a termination for cause following such Change in Control shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Plan that define “Cause”, including reasonable notice and, if possible, a reasonable opportunity to cure as provided therein.
Taxes: Withholding Taxes:	When you become subject to withholding taxes upon distribution of the shares of Common Stock or otherwise, Sempra Energy or its Subsidiary is required to withhold taxes. Unless you instruct otherwise and pay or make arrangements satisfactory to Sempra Energy to pay these taxes, upon the distribution of your shares, Sempra Energy will withhold a sufficient number of shares of common stock that you would otherwise be entitled to receive to cover the minimum required withholding taxes and transfer to you only the remaining balance of your shares. In the event that, following a Change in Control, your restricted stock units become eligible for a distribution upon your Retirement by reason of your combined age and service, your restricted stock units may become subject to employment tax withholding prior to the distribution of shares with respect to such units.
Code Section 409A:	Your restricted stock units are subject to provisions of the Plan which set forth terms to comply with Code Section 409A.
Recoupment (“Clawback”) Policy:	The Company shall require the forfeiture, recovery or reimbursement of awards or compensation under the Plan and this award as (i) required by applicable law, or (ii) required under any policy implemented or maintained by the Company pursuant to any applicable rules or requirements of a national securities exchange or national securities association on which any securities of the Company are listed. The Company reserves the right to recoup compensation paid if it determines that the results on which the compensation was paid were not actually achieved. The Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, require the recovery or reimbursement of long-term incentive compensation awards from any employee whose fraudulent or intentional misconduct materially affects the operations or financial results of the Company or its Subsidiaries.
Retention Rights:	Neither your restricted stock unit award nor this Award Agreement gives you any right to be retained by Sempra Energy or any of its Subsidiaries in any capacity and your employer reserves the right to terminate your employment at any time, with or without cause. The value of your award will not be included as compensation or earnings for purposes of any other benefit plan offered by Sempra Energy or any of its Subsidiaries.

5

Change in Control:	In the event of a Change in Control, the following terms shall apply: •If (i) you have achieved age 55 and have completed at least five years of continuous service with Sempra Energy and its Subsidiaries as of the date of a Change in Control and your restricted stock units have not been forfeited prior to the Change in Control, (ii) your outstanding restricted stock units as of the date of a Change in Control are not subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and/or (iii) your outstanding restricted stock units are not assumed or substituted with one or more Replacement Awards (as defined in the Plan), then in each case your outstanding restricted stock units and any associated dividend equivalents will vest immediately prior to the Change in Control. If the foregoing terms apply, immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control you will receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of your restricted stock units and dividend equivalents that have vested. •If your outstanding restricted stock awards are assumed or substituted with one or more Replacement Awards, then, except as provided otherwise in an individual severance agreement or employment agreement to which you are a party, the terms set forth in the Plan shall apply with respect to such Replacement Award following the Change in Control. If the foregoing terms apply and the Replacement Award vests upon your separation from service or death, on such date, you will receive a number of shares or other property in settlement of the Replacement Awards.
Further Actions:	You agree to take all actions and execute all documents appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Award Agreement. You shall be deemed to have accepted this award unless you affirmatively reject it in writing addressed to the Corporate Secretary of the Company no later than 90 days following the Date of Award. You also appoint as your attorney-in-fact each individual who at the time of so acting is the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of Sempra Energy with full authority to effect any transfer of any shares of Common Stock distributable to you, including any transfer to pay withholding taxes, that is authorized by this Award Agreement.
Applicable Law:	This Award Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of California.
Other Agreements:	In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Award Agreement and any written employment, severance or other employment-related agreement between you and Sempra Energy, the terms of this Award Agreement, or the terms of such other agreement, whichever are more favorable to you, shall prevail, provided that in each case a conflict shall be resolved in a manner consistent with the intent that your restricted stock units comply with Code Section 409A. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Award Agreement and the Plan, the Plan document shall prevail.

By your acceptance of this award, you agree to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Cover Page/Summary, this Award Agreement and the Plan. You will be deemed to have accepted this award unless you affirmatively reject the award in accordance with the procedures described herein.

The Pre-Change in Control Severance Payment shall be paid within sixty (60) days after the date of the Involuntary Termination on such date as is determined by Sempra Energy, but not before the Release

The Company shall provide such financial planning services through a financial planner selected by the Company, and shall pay the fees for such financial planning services. The financial planning services provided during any taxable year of the Executive shall not affect the financial planning services provided in any other taxable year of the Executive. The Executive’s right to financial planning services shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. Such financial planning services shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv).

In addition to the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment, the Executive shall be entitled to the following additional benefits specified in Section 5(a) through (f). The Company's obligation to pay the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment or provide the benefits set forth in Section 5(b),(c), (d), (e), and (f) is subject to and conditioned upon the Executive executing the Release within fifty (50) days after the date of Involuntary Termination and the Executive not revoking such Release in accordance with the terms thereof. Except as provided in Section 5(g), the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment and the payments under Section 5(b) shall be paid within sixty (60) days after the date of Involuntary Termination on such date as is determined by Sempra Energy (or its successor) but not before the Release becomes effective and irrevocable. If the fifty (50) day period in which the Release could become effective spans more than one (1) taxable year, then the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment and the payments under Section 5(b) shall not be made until the later taxable year.

(a)Accrued Obligations. The Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum amount in cash equal to the Accrued Obligations within the time required by law and, to the extent applicable, in accordance with the applicable plan, policy or arrangement pursuant to which such payments are to be made.

(b)Pension Supplement. The Executive shall be entitled to receive a “Supplemental Retirement Benefit” under the Sempra Energy Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, as in effect from time to time (“SERP”), determined in accordance with this Section 5(c), in the event that the Executive is a “Participant” (as defined in the SERP) as of the Date of Termination. Such Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be determined by crediting the Executive with additional months of “Service” (as defined in the SERP) (if any) equal to the number of full calendar months from the Date of Termination to the date on which the Executive would have attained age sixty-two (62). The Executive shall be entitled to receive such Supplemental Retirement Benefit without regard to whether the Executive has attained age fifty-five (55) or completed five (5) years of Service as of the Date of Termination. The Executive shall be treated as qualified for “Retirement” (as defined in the SERP) as of the Date of Termination, and the Executive’s “Vesting Factor” with respect to the Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be one hundred percent (100%). The Executive’s Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be calculated based on the Executive’s actual age as of the date of commencement of payment of such Supplemental Retirement Benefit (the “SERP Distribution Date”), and by applying the applicable early retirement factors under the SERP, if the Executive has not attained age sixty-two (62) but has attained age fifty-five (55) as of the SERP Distribution Date. If the Executive has not attained age fifty-five (55) as of the SERP Distribution Date, the Executive’s Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be calculated by applying the applicable early retirement factor under the SERP for age fifty-five (55), and the Supplemental Retirement Benefit otherwise payable at age fifty-five (55) shall be actuarially adjusted to the Executive’s actual age as of the SERP Distribution Date using the following actuarial assumptions: (i) the applicable mortality table promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service under Section 417(e)(3) of the Code, as in effect on the first (1st) day of the calendar year in which the SERP Distribution Date occurs, and (ii) the applicable interest rate promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service under Section 417(e)(3) of the Code for the November next preceding the first day of the calendar year in which the SERP Distribution Date occurs. The Executive’s Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be determined in accordance with this Section 5(b), notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the SERP and, to the extent subject to Section 409A of the Code, shall be paid in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(c)(1). The Supplemental Retirement Benefit paid to or on behalf of the Executive in accordance with this Section 5(b) shall be in full satisfaction of any and all of the benefits payable to or on behalf of the Executive under the SERP.

(c)Equity-Based Compensation. Notwithstanding the provisions of any applicable equity-based compensation plan or award agreement to the contrary, all equity-based Incentive Compensation Awards (including, without limitation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance share awards, awards covered under Section 162(m) of the Code, and dividend equivalents) held by the Executive shall immediately vest and become exercisable or payable, as the case may be, as of the Date of Termination, to be exercised or paid, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Incentive Compensation Plan and Incentive Compensation Award agreement, and any restrictions on any such Incentive Compensation Awards shall automatically lapse; provided,however, that, in the case of any stock option or stock appreciation rights awards granted on or after June 26, 1998 that remain outstanding on the Date of Termination, such stock options or

12

stock appreciation rights shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the later of eighteen (18) months following the Date of Termination or the period specified in the applicable Incentive Compensation Award agreement or (ii) the expiration of the original term of such Incentive Compensation Award (or, if earlier, the tenth (10th) anniversary of the original date of grant) (it being understood that all Incentive Compensation Awards granted prior to, on or after June 26, 1998 shall remain outstanding and exercisable for a period that is no less than that provided for in the applicable agreement in effect as of the date of grant).

(d)Welfare Benefits. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for a period of twenty four (24) months following the date of Involuntary Termination (and an additional twelve (12) months if the Executive provides consulting services under Section 14(f) hereof), the Executive and his dependents shall be provided with life, disability, accident and group medical benefits which are substantially similar to those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the date of Involuntary Termination or the Change in Control Date, whichever is more favorable to the Executive. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the continuing benefits described in the preceding sentence shall be provided on substantially the same terms and conditions and at the same cost to the Executive as in effect immediately prior to the date of Involuntary Termination or the Change in Control Date, whichever is more favorable to the Executive. Such benefits shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Sempra Energy determines in its sole discretion that the portion of the foregoing continuing benefits that constitute group medical benefits cannot be provided without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act) or that the provision of such group medical benefits under this Agreement would subject Sempra Energy or any of its Affiliates to a material tax or penalty, (i) the Executive shall be provided, in lieu thereof, with a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly premium that the Executive would be required to pay to continue the Executive’s and his covered dependents’ group medical benefit coverages under COBRA as then in effect (which amount shall be based on the premiums for the first month of COBRA coverage) or (ii) Sempra Energy shall have the authority to amend the Agreement to the limited extent reasonably necessary to avoid such violation of law or tax or penalty and shall use all reasonable efforts to provide the Executive with a comparable benefit that does not violate applicable law or subject Sempra Energy or any of its Affiliates to such tax or penalty.

(e)Outplacement Services. The Executive shall receive reasonable outplacement services, on an in-kind basis, suitable to his position and directly related to the Executive’s Involuntary Termination, for a period of thirty-six (36) months following the date of Involuntary Termination (but in no event beyond the last day of the Executive’s second (2nd) taxable year following the Executive’s taxable year in which the Involuntary Termination occurs), in the aggregate amount of cost to the Company not to exceed $50,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall cease to receive outplacement services on the date the Executive accepts employment with a subsequent employer. Such outplacement services shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(A).

13

(f)Financial Planning Services. The Executive shall receive financial planning services, on an in-kind basis, for a period of thirty-six (36) months following the date of Involuntary Termination. Such financial planning services shall include expert financial and legal resources to assist the Executive with financial planning needs and shall be limited to (i) current investment portfolio management, (ii) tax planning, (iii) tax return preparation, and (iv) estate planning advice and document preparation (including wills and trusts); provided, however, that the Company shall provide such financial services during any taxable year of the Executive only to the extent the cost to the Company for such taxable year does not exceed $25,000. The Company shall provide such financial planning services through a financial planner selected by the Company, and shall pay the fees for such financial planning services. The financial planning services provided during any taxable year of the Executive shall not affect the financial planning services provided in any other taxable year of the Executive. The Executive’s right to financial planning services shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. Such financial planning services shall be provided in a manner that complies with Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv).

(g)Involuntary Termination in Connection with a Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event of an Involuntary Termination prior to a Change in Control, if the Involuntary Termination (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect such Change in Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of such Change in Control, then the Executive shall, in lieu of the payments described in Section 4 hereof, be entitled to the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment and the additional benefits described in this Section 5 as if such Involuntary Termination had occurred within two (2) years following the Change in Control. The amounts specified in Section 5 that are to be paid under this Section 5(g) shall be reduced by any amount previously paid under Section 4. The amounts to be paid under this Section 5(g) shall be paid within sixty (60) days after the Change in Control Date of such Change in Control.

Section 6.Severance Benefits upon Termination by the Company for Cause or by the Executive Other than for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause, or if the Executive terminates employment other than for Good Reason, the Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement other than the pre-Change in Control Accrued Obligations and any amounts or benefits described in Section 10 hereof.

Section 7.Severance Benefits upon Termination due to Death or Disability. If the Executive has a Separation from Service by reason of death or Disability, the Company shall pay the Executive or his estate, as the case may be, the Accrued Obligations and a severance amount equal to the Pro Rata Bonus (without regard to whether a Change in Control has occurred) and any amounts or benefits described in Section 10 hereof. Such payments shall be in addition to those rights and benefits to which the Executive or his estate may be entitled under the relevant Company plans or programs. The Company's obligation to pay the severance amount pursuant to this Section 7 is conditioned upon the Executive, the Executive's representative or the Executive's estate, as the case may be executing the Release within fifty (50) days after the date of the Executive's Separation from Service and not revoking such

14

Release in accordance with the terms thereof. The Accrued Obligations shall be paid within the time required by law and the severance amount payable pursuant to this Section 7 shall be paid within sixty (60) days after the date of the Separation from Service on such date determined by Sempra Energy but not before the Release becomes effective and irrevocable. If the fifty (50) day period in which the Release could become effective spans more than one (1) taxable year, then the severance amount shall not be made until the later taxable year.

Section 8.Limitation on Payments by the Company.

(a)Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth in this Section 8 below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution “in the nature of compensation” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (the “Payment”) would be subject (in whole or in part) to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, (the “Excise Tax”), then, subject to Section 8(b), the Pre-Change in Control Severance Payment or the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment (whichever is applicable) payable under this Agreement shall be reduced under this Section 8(a) to the amount equal to the Reduced Payment. For such Payment payable under this Agreement, the “Reduced Payment” shall be the amount equal to the greatest portion of the Payment (which may be zero ($0)) that, if paid, would result in no portion of any Payment being subject to the Excise Tax.

(b)The Pre-Change in Control Severance Payment or the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment (whichever is applicable) payable under this Agreement shall not be reduced under Section 8(a) if:

(i)such reduction in such Payment is not sufficient to cause no portion of any Payment to be subject to the Excise Tax, or

(ii)the Net After-Tax Unreduced Payments (as defined below) would equal or exceed one hundred five percent (105%) of the Net After-Tax Reduced Payments (as defined below).

For purposes of determining the amount of any Reduced Payment under Section 8(a), and the Net-After Tax Reduced Payments and the Net After-Tax Unreduced Payments, the Executive shall be considered to pay federal, state and local income and employment taxes at the Executive’s applicable marginal rates taking into consideration any reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from the deduction of state and local income taxes, and any reduction or disallowance of itemized deductions and personal exemptions under applicable tax law). The applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax (to the extent applicable) are collectively referred to as the “Taxes.”

(c)For purposes of determining the amount of any Reduced Payment under this Section 8, the amount of any Payment shall be reduced in the following order:

15

(i)first, by reducing the amounts of parachute payments that would not constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code;

(ii)next, if after the reduction described in Section 8(c)(i), additional reductions are required, then by reducing the cash portion of the Payment that constitutes “deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A) subject to Section 409A, with the reductions to be applied first to the portion of the Payment scheduled for the latest distribution date, and then applied to distributions scheduled for progressively earlier distribution dates, to the extent necessary to decrease the Payment as required under this Section 8; and

(iii)next, if after the reduction described in Section 8(c)(ii), additional reductions are required, then, by reducing the non-cash portion of the Payment that constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) subject to Section 409A, with the reductions to be applied first to the portion of the Payment scheduled for the latest distribution date, and then applied to distributions scheduled for progressively earlier distribution dates, to the extent necessary to decrease the Payment as required under this Section 8.

(d)The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Section 8:

(i)“Net After-Tax Reduced Payments” shall mean the total amount of all Payments that the Executive would retain, on a Net After-Tax Basis, in the event that the Payments payable under this Agreement are reduced pursuant to Section 8(a).

(ii)“Net After-Tax Unreduced Payments” shall mean the total amount of all Payments that the Executive would retain, on a Net After-Tax Basis, in the event that the Payments payable under this Agreement are not reduced pursuant to Section 8(a).

(iii)“Net After-Tax Basis” shall mean, with respect to the Payments, either with or without reduction under Section 8(a) (as applicable), the amount that would be retained by the Executive from such Payments after the payment of all Taxes.

(e)All determinations required to be made under this Section 8 and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm as may be agreed by the Company and the Executive (the “Accounting Firm”); provided, that the Accounting Firm’s determination shall be made based upon “substantial authority” within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code. The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations to both the Company and the Executive within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax, (i) no portion of the Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which the Executive shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to constitute a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of

16

the Code shall be taken into account, (ii) no portion of the Payments shall be taken into account which, in the written opinion of the Accounting Firm, does not constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of the Accounting Firm, constitutes “reasonable compensation” for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such reasonable compensation, and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Payments shall be determined by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the principles of Section 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.

Section 9.Delayed Distribution under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Executive’s Involuntary Termination (or on the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service by reason of Disability), the Section 409A Payments which are payable upon Separation from Service shall be delayed to the extent necessary in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and such delayed payments or benefits shall be paid or distributed to the Executive during the thirty (30) day period commencing on the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six (6) month period measured from the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service or (b) the date of the Executive’s death. Upon the expiration of the applicable six (6) month period, all payments deferred pursuant to this Section 9 (excluding in-kind benefits) shall be paid in a lump sum payment to the Executive, plus interest thereon from the date of the Executive’s Involuntary Termination through the payment date at an annual rate equal to Moody’s Rate. The “Moody’s Rate” shall mean the average of the daily Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield Average – Monthly Average Corporates as published by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (or any successor) for the month next preceding the Date of Termination. Any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.

Section 10.Nonexclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any benefit, plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company and for which the Executive may qualify (except with respect to any benefit to which the Executive has waived his rights in writing), including, without limitation, any and all indemnification arrangements in favor of the Executive (whether under agreements or under the Company’s charter documents or otherwise), and insurance policies covering the Executive, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any other contract or agreement entered into after the Effective Date with the Company. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any benefit, plan, policy, practice or program of, or any contract or agreement entered into with, the Company shall be payable in accordance with such benefit, plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. At all times during the Executive’s employment with the Company and thereafter, the Company shall provide (to the extent permissible under applicable law) the Executive with indemnification and D&O insurance insuring the Executive against insurable events which occur

17

or have occurred while the Executive was a director or executive officer of the Company, that with respect to such insurance is on terms and conditions that, to the extent reasonably practical, are at least as generous as that then currently provided to any other current or former director or executive officer of the Company or any Affiliate. Such indemnification and D&O insurance shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(10).

Section 11.Clawbacks. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Sempra Energy determines, in its good faith judgment, that if the Executive is required to forfeit or to make any repayment of any compensation or benefit(s) to the Company under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any other law or pursuant to any formal policy of Sempra Energy, such forfeiture or repayment shall not constitute Good Reason.

Section 12.Full Settlement; Mitigation. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others, provided that nothing herein shall preclude the Company from separately pursuing recovery from the Executive based on any such claim. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts (including amounts for damages for breach) payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment.

Section 13.Dispute Resolution.

(a)If any dispute arises between the Executive and Sempra Energy or any of its Affiliates, including, but not limited to, disputes relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any action relating to or arising out of the Executive’s employment or its termination, and/or any disputes regarding the interpretation, enforceability, or validity of this Agreement (“Arbitrable Dispute”), the Executive and Sempra Energy waive the right to resolve the dispute through litigation in a judicial forum and agree to resolve the Arbitrable Dispute through final and binding arbitration, except as prohibited by law. Arbitration shall be the exclusive remedy for any Arbitrable Dispute.

(b)As to any Arbitrable Dispute, Sempra Energy and the Executive waive any right to a jury trial or a court bench trial. The Company and the Executive also waive the right to bring, maintain, or participate in any class, collective, or representative proceeding, whether in arbitration or otherwise. Further, Arbitrable Disputes must be brought in the individual capacity of the party asserting the claim, and cannot be maintained on a class, collective, or representative basis.

(c)Arbitration shall take place at the office of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”) (or, if the Executive is employed outside of California, the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”)) nearest to the location where the Executive last worked for the Company. Except to the extent it conflicts with the rules and procedures set forth in this Agreement, arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the JAMS Employment

18

Arbitration Rules & Procedures (if the Executive is employed outside of California, the AAA Employment Arbitration Rules & Mediation Procedures), copies of which are attached for reference and available at www.jamsadr.com; tel: 800.352.5267 and www.adr.org; tel: 800.778.7879, before a single experienced, neutral employment arbitrator selected in accordance with those rules.

(d)Sempra Energy will be responsible for paying any filing fee and the fees and costs of the arbitrator.  Each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that authorizes an award of attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party, or if there is a written agreement providing for attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party, applying the same standards a court would apply under the law applicable to the claim.

(e)The arbitrator shall apply the Federal Rules of Evidence, shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss or a motion for summary judgment by any party, and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator does not have the authority to consider, certify, or hear an arbitration as a class action, collective action, or any other type of representative action. Sempra Energy and the Executive recognize that this Agreement arises out of or concerns interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the arbitration and shall govern the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement or any arbitration award.

(f)EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, EXECUTIVE IS WAIVING ANY RIGHT HE MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 14.Executive’s Covenants.

(a)Confidentiality. The Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment with the Company, he has acquired non-public privileged or confidential information and trade secrets concerning the operations, future plans and methods of doing business (“Proprietary Information”) of Sempra Energy and its Affiliates; and the Executive agrees that it would be extremely damaging to Sempra Energy and its Affiliates if such Proprietary Information were disclosed to a competitor of Sempra Energy and its Affiliates or to any other person or corporation. The Executive understands and agrees that all Proprietary Information has been divulged to the Executive in confidence and further understands and agrees to keep all Proprietary Information secret and confidential (except for such information which is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach by the Executive of this provision or information the Executive is required by any governmental, administrative or court order to disclose) without limitation in time. In view of the nature of the Executive’s employment and the Proprietary Information the Executive has acquired during the course of such employment, the Executive likewise agrees that Sempra Energy and its Affiliates would be irreparably harmed by any disclosure of Proprietary Information in violation of the terms of this Section 14(a) and that Sempra Energy and its Affiliates shall therefore be entitled to preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief prohibiting the Executive from engaging in any activity or threatened activity in violation of the terms of this Section 14(a) and to any other relief available to them. Inquiries

19

regarding whether specific information constitutes Proprietary Information shall be directed to the Company’s Senior Vice President, Public Policy (or, if such position is vacant, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer); provided, that the Company shall not unreasonably classify information as Proprietary Information.

(b)Governmental Reporting. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to interfere with or discourage the Executive’s good faith disclosure related to a suspected violation of federal or state law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal or state law or regulation. The Executive cannot and will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for disclosing otherwise protected trade secrets and/or confidential or proprietary information so long as the disclosure is made in (i) confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, so long as such filing is made under seal. The Company will not retaliate against the Executive in any way for a disclosure made pursuant to this Section 14(b). Further, in the event the Executive makes such a disclosure, and files a lawsuit against the Company alleging that the Company retaliated against the Executive because of the disclosure, the Executive may disclose the relevant trade secret or confidential information to the Executive’s attorney, and may use the same in the court proceeding only if (X) the Executive ensures that any court filing that includes the trade secret or confidential information at issue is made under seal; and (Y) the Executive does not otherwise disclose the trade secret or confidential information except as required by court order.

(c)Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Executive recognizes that he possesses and will possess confidential information about other employees of Sempra Energy and its Affiliates relating to their education, experience, skills, abilities, compensation and benefits, and inter-personal relationships with customers of Sempra Energy and its Affiliates. The Executive recognizes that the information he possesses and will possess about these other employees is not generally known, is of substantial value to Sempra Energy and its Affiliates in developing their business and in securing and retaining customers, and has been and will be acquired by him because of his business position with Sempra Energy and its Affiliates. The Executive agrees that at all times during the Executive’s employment with the Company and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, he will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or recruit any employee of the Company or its Affiliates for the purpose of being employed by him or by any competitor of the Company or its Affiliates on whose behalf he is acting as an agent, representative or employee and that he will not convey any such confidential information or trade secrets about other employees of Sempra Energy and its Affiliates to any other person; provided, however, that it shall not constitute a solicitation or recruitment of employment in violation of this Section 14(c) to discuss employment opportunities with any employee of the Company or its Affiliates who has either first contacted the Executive or regarding whose employment the Executive has discussed with and received the written approval of the Company’s most senior Vice President, Human Resources (or, if such position is vacant, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer), prior to making such solicitation or recruitment. In view of the nature of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive likewise

20

agrees that Sempra Energy and its Affiliates would be irreparably harmed by any solicitation or recruitment in violation of the terms of this Section 14(c) and that Sempra Energy and its Affiliates shall therefore be entitled to preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief prohibiting the Executive from engaging in any activity or threatened activity in violation of the terms of this Section 14(c) and to any other relief available to them.

(d)Survival of Provisions. The obligations contained in Section 14(a), (b) and (c) above shall survive the termination of the Executive’s employment within the Company and shall be fully enforceable thereafter. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in Section 14(a) or (c) above is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under the laws of that state, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law of that state.

(e)Release; Consulting Payment. In the event of the Executive’s Involuntary Termination, if the Executive (i) reconfirms and agrees to abide by the covenants described in Section 14(a) and (c) above, (ii) executes the Release within fifty (50) days after the date of Involuntary Termination and does not revoke such Release in accordance with the terms thereof, and (iii) agrees to provide the consulting services described in Section 14(f) below, then in consideration for such covenants and consulting services, the Company shall pay the Executive, in one (1) cash lump sum, an amount (the “Consulting Payment”) in cash equal to the sum of (X) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary as in effect on the Date of Termination, plus (Y) the greater of the Executive’s Average Annual Bonus or the Executive’s Target Bonus on the Date of Termination. Except as provided in this Section 14(e), the Consulting Payment shall be paid on such date as is determined by the Company within the ten (10) day period commencing on the sixtieth (60th) day after the date of the Executive’s Involuntary Termination; provided, however, that if the Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Executive’s Involuntary Termination, the Consulting Payment shall be paid as provided in Section 9 hereof to the extent required.

(f)Consulting. If the Executive agrees to the provisions of Section 14(e) above, then the Executive shall have the obligation to provide consulting services to the Company as an independent contractor, commencing on the Date of Termination and ending on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Date of Termination (the “Consulting Period”). The Executive shall hold himself available at reasonable times and on reasonable notice to render such consulting services as may be so assigned to him by the Board or the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer; provided, however, that unless the parties otherwise agree, the consulting services rendered by the Executive during the Consulting Period shall not exceed twenty (20) hours each month; and, provided, further, that the consulting services rendered by the Executive during the Consulting Period shall in no event exceed twenty percent (20%) of the average level of services performed by the Executive for the Company over the thirty-six (36) month period immediately preceding the Executive’s Separation from Service (or the full period of services to the Company, if the Executive has been providing services to the Company for less than thirty-six (36) months). The Company agrees to use its best efforts during the Consulting Period to secure the benefit of the Executive’s consulting services so as to minimize the interference with

21

the Executive’s other activities, including requiring the performance of consulting services at the Company’s offices only when such services may not be reasonably performed off-site by the Executive.

Section 15.Legal Fees.

(a)Reimbursement of Legal Fees. Subject to Section 15(b), in the event of the Executive’s Separation from Service either (i) prior to a Change in Control, or (ii) on or within two (2) years following a Change in Control, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for all legal fees and expenses (including but not limited to fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration) incurred by the Executive in disputing any issue arising under this Agreement relating to the Executive’s Separation from Service or in seeking to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Agreement.

(b)Requirements for Reimbursement. The Company shall reimburse the Executive’s legal fees and expenses pursuant to Section 15(a) above only to the extent the arbitrator or court determines the following: (i) the Executive disputed such issue, or sought to obtain or enforce such benefit or right, in good faith, (ii) the Executive had a reasonable basis for such claim, and (iii) in the case of Section 15(a)(i) above, the Executive is the prevailing party. In addition, the Company shall reimburse such legal fees and expenses, only if such legal fees and expenses are incurred during the twenty (20) year period beginning on the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service. The legal fees and expenses paid to the Executive for any taxable year of the Executive shall not affect the legal fees and expenses paid to the Executive for any other taxable year of the Executive. The legal fees and expenses shall be paid to the Executive on or before the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the fees or expenses are determined to be payable pursuant to this Agreement. The Executive’s right to reimbursement of legal fees and expenses shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. Such right to reimbursement of legal fees and expenses shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv).

Section 16.Successors.

(a)Assignment by the Executive. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of Sempra Energy shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives.

(b)Successors and Assigns of Sempra Energy. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Sempra Energy and its successors and assigns. Sempra Energy may not assign this Agreement to any person or entity (except for a successor described in Section 16(c), (d) or (e) below) without the Executive’s written consent.

(c)Assumption. Sempra Energy shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of Sempra Energy to assume expressly and agree to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities of this Agreement in the same manner and to

22

the same extent that Sempra Energy would have been required to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement if no such succession had taken place, and Sempra Energy shall have no further obligations and liabilities under this Agreement. Upon such assumption, references to Sempra Energy in this Agreement shall be replaced with references to such successor.

(d)Sale of Subsidiary. In the event that (i) the Executive is employed by a direct or indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy that is a member of the Sempra Energy Control Group, (ii) Sempra Energy, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, sells or otherwise disposes of such subsidiary, and (iii) such subsidiary ceases to be a member of the Sempra Energy Control Group, then if, on the date such subsidiary ceases to be a member of the Sempra Energy Control Group, the Executive continues in employment with such subsidiary and the Executive does not have a Separation from Service, Sempra Energy shall require such subsidiary or any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase merger, consolidation or otherwise) to such subsidiary, or the parent thereof, to assume expressly and agree to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Sempra Energy would have been required to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement, if such subsidiary had not ceased to be part of the Sempra Energy Control Group, and, upon such assumption, Sempra Energy shall have no further obligations and liabilities under the Agreement. Upon such assumption, references to Sempra Energy in this Agreement shall be replaced with references to such subsidiary, or such successor or parent thereof, assuming this Agreement, and subsection (b) of the definition of “Cause” and subsection (b) of the definition of “Good Reason” shall apply thereafter, as if a Change in Control had occurred on the date of such cessation.

(e)Sale of Assets of Subsidiary. In the event that (i) the Executive is employed by a direct or indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy, and (ii) such subsidiary sells or otherwise disposes of substantial assets of such subsidiary to an unrelated service recipient, as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(f)(2)(ii) (the “Asset Purchaser”), in a transaction described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(4) (an “Asset Sale”), then if, on the date of such Asset Sale, the Executive becomes employed by the Asset Purchaser, Sempra Energy and the Asset Purchaser may specify, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(4), that the Executive shall not be treated as having a Separation from Service, and in such event, Sempra Energy may require such Asset Purchaser, or the parent thereof, to assume expressly and agree to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would have been required to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement, if the Asset Sale had not taken place, and, upon such assumption, Sempra Energy shall have no further obligations and liabilities under the Agreement. Upon such assumption, references to Sempra Energy in this Agreement shall be replaced with references to the Asset Purchaser or the parent thereof, as applicable, and subsection (b) of the definition of “Cause” and subsection (b) of the definition of “Good Reason” shall apply thereafter, as if a Change in Control had occurred on the date of the Asset Sale.

23

Section 17.Administration Prior to Change in Control. Prior to a Change in Control, the Compensation Committee shall have full and complete authority to construe and interpret the provisions of this Agreement, to determine an individual’s entitlement to benefits under this Agreement, to make in its sole and absolute discretion all determinations contemplated under this Agreement, to investigate and make factual determinations necessary or advisable to administer or implement this Agreement, and to adopt such rules and procedures as it deems necessary or advisable for the administration or implementation of this Agreement. All determinations made under this Agreement by the Compensation Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all interested persons. Prior to a Change in Control, the Compensation Committee may delegate responsibilities for the operation and administration of this Agreement to one or more officers or employees of the Company. The provisions of this Section 17 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.

Section 18.Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. All payments and benefits payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Section 409A Payments) are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Certain payments and benefits payable under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the applicable requirements of, and exemptions from, Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. To the extent the payments and benefits under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A of the Code, this Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and administered in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder If the Company and the Executive determine that any compensation, benefits or other payments that are payable under this Agreement and intended to comply with Section 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code do not comply with Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and other applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and any applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, the Company and the Executive agree to amend this Agreement, or take such other actions as the Company and the Executive deem reasonably necessary or appropriate, to cause such compensation, benefits and other payments to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and other applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, while providing compensation, benefits and other payments that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than the compensation, benefits and other payments provided under this Agreement. In the case of any compensation, benefits or other payments that are payable under this Agreement and intended to comply with Section 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code, if any provision of the Agreement would cause such compensation, benefits or other payments to fail to so comply, such provision shall not be effective and shall be null and void with respect to such compensation, benefits or other payments to the extent such provision would cause a failure to comply, and such provision shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

EXHIBIT A

GENERAL RELEASE

This GENERAL RELEASE (the “Agreement”), dated ___________, is made by and between ______________________________, a California corporation (the “Company”) and ___________________________ (“you” or “your”).

WHEREAS, you and the Company have previously entered into that certain Severance Pay Agreement dated ____________, 20___ (the “Severance Pay Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, your right to receive certain severance pay and benefits pursuant to the terms of Section 4 or 5 of the Severance Pay Agreement, as applicable, is subject to and conditioned upon your execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims by you against the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

WHEREAS, your right to receive the Consulting Payment provided pursuant to Section 14(e) of the Severance Pay Agreement is subject to and conditioned upon your execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims by you against the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates; and your adherence to the covenants described under Section 14 of the Severance Pay Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, you and the Company hereby agree as follows:

ONE: Your signing of this Agreement confirms that your employment with the Company shall terminate at the close of business on ____________, or earlier upon our mutual agreement. This Agreement is not a condition of employment or continued employment or a condition of receiving a raise or a bonus.

TWO: As a material inducement for the payment of the severance and benefits of the Severance Pay Agreement, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge the other from any and all Claims either may have against the other. For purposes of this Agreement and the preceding sentence, the words “Releasee” or “Releasees” and “Claim” or “Claims” shall have the meanings set forth below:

(a)    The words “Releasee” or “Releasees” shall refer to you and to the Company and each of the Company’s owners, stockholders, predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, attorneys, advisors, parent companies, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates (and agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, attorneys and advisors of such parent companies, divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates) and all persons acting by, through, under or in concert with any of them.

(b)    The words “Claim” or “Claims” shall refer to any charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of

action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred) of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which you or the Company now, in the past or, in the future may have, own or hold against any of the Releasees; provided, however, that the word “Claim” or “Claims” shall not refer to any charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred) arising under [identify severance, employee benefits, stock option, indemnification and D&O and other agreements containing duties, rights obligations etc. of either party that are to remain operative]. Claims released pursuant to this Agreement by you and the Company include, but are not limited to, rights arising out of alleged violations of any contracts, express or implied, any tort, claim, any claim that you failed to perform or negligently performed or breached your duties during employment at the Company, any legal restrictions on the Company’s right to terminate employment relationships; and any federal, state or other governmental statute, regulation, or ordinance, governing the employment relationship including, without limitation, all state and federal laws and regulations prohibiting discrimination based on protected categories, and all state and federal laws and regulations prohibiting retaliation against employees for engaging in protected activity or legal off-duty conduct. This release does not extend to claims for workers’ compensation or other claims which by law may not be waived or released by this Agreement.

THREE: You and the Company expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits afforded by any statute (including but not limited to Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California and analogous laws of other states) which limits the effect of a release with respect to unknown claims. You and the Company do so understanding and acknowledging the significance of the release of unknown claims and the waiver of statutory protection against a release of unknown claims (including but not limited to Section 1542). Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California states as follows:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542 or of any similar statute, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Releasees, you and the Company expressly acknowledge that this Agreement is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all Claims which are known and all Claims which you or the Company do not know or suspect to exist in your or the Company’s favor at the time of execution of this Agreement and that this Agreement contemplates the extinguishment of all such Claims.

FOUR: The parties acknowledge that they might hereafter discover facts different from, or in addition to, those they now know or believe to be true with respect to a Claim or Claims released herein, and they expressly agree to assume the risk of possible discovery of

A-2

additional or different facts, and agree that this Agreement shall be and remain effective, in all respects, regardless of such additional or different discovered facts.

FIVE: As a further material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement, you hereby agree to indemnify and hold each of the Releasees harmless from all loss, costs, damages, or expenses, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees incurred by the Releasees, arising out of any breach of this Agreement by you or the fact that any representation made in this Agreement by you was false when made.

As a further material inducement to you to enter into this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold each of the Releasees harmless from all loss, costs, damages, or expenses, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees incurred by the Releasees, arising out of any breach of this Agreement by it or the fact that any representation made in this Agreement by it was knowingly false when made.

SIX: You and the Company represent and acknowledge that in executing this Agreement, neither is relying upon any representation or statement not set forth in this Agreement or the Severance Agreement.

SEVEN:

    (a)    This Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an admission by the Company that it has acted wrongfully with respect to you or any other person, or that you have any rights whatsoever against the Company, and the Company specifically disclaims any liability to or wrongful acts against you or any other person, on the part of itself, its employees or its agents. This Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an admission by you that you have acted wrongfully with respect to the Company, or that you failed to perform your duties or negligently performed or breached your duties, or that the Company had good cause to terminate your employment.

    (b)    If you are a party or are threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that you were an officer or director of the Company, the Company shall indemnify you against any expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees; provided,that counsel has been approved by the Company prior to retention, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually or reasonably incurred by you in connection with that proceeding; provided, further,that you acted in good faith and in a manner you reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Company. The limitations of Section 317 of the Corporations Code of the State of California shall apply to this assurance of indemnification.

    (c)    You agree to cooperate with the Company and its designated attorneys, representatives and agents in connection with any actual or threatened judicial, administrative or other legal or equitable proceeding in which the Company is or may become involved. Upon reasonable notice, you agree to meet with and provide to the Company or its designated attorneys, representatives or agents all information and knowledge you have relating

A-3

to the subject matter of any such proceeding. The Company agrees to reimburse you for any reasonable costs you incur in providing such cooperation.

EIGHT: This Agreement is entered into in California and shall be governed by substantive California law, except as provided in this section. If any dispute arises between you and the Company, including but not limited to, disputes relating to this Agreement, or if you prosecute a claim you purported to release by means of this Agreement (“Arbitrable Dispute”), you and the Company agree to resolve that Arbitrable Dispute through final and binding arbitration under this section. You also agree to arbitrate any Arbitrable Dispute which also involves any other released party who offers or agrees to arbitrate the dispute under this section. Your agreement to arbitrate applies, for example, to disputes about the validity, interpretation, or effect of this Agreement or alleged violations of it, claims of discrimination under federal or state law, or other statutory violation claims.

As to any Arbitrable Dispute, you and the Company waive any right to a jury trial or a court bench trial. You and the Company also waive the right to bring, maintain, or participate in any class, collective, or representative proceeding, whether in arbitration or otherwise. Further, Arbitrable Disputes must be brought in the individual capacity of the party asserting the claim, and cannot be maintained on a class, collective, or representative basis.

Arbitration shall take place in San Diego, California under the employment dispute resolution rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service, (or, if you are employed outside of California at the time of the termination of your employment, at the nearest location of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and in accordance with the AAA rules), before an experienced employment arbitrator selected in accordance with those rules. The arbitrator may not modify or change this Agreement in any way. The Company will be responsible for paying any filing fee and the fees and costs of the Arbitrator; provided, however, that if you are the party initiating the claim, you will contribute an amount equal to the filing fee to initiate a claim in the court of general jurisdiction in the state in which you are employed by the Company. Each party shall pay for its own costs and attorneys’ fees, if any. However if any party prevails on a statutory claim which affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs, or if there is a written agreement providing for attorneys’ fees and/or costs, the Arbitrator may award reasonable attorney’s fees and/or costs to the prevailing party, applying the same standards a court would apply under the law applicable to the claim. The Arbitrator shall apply the Federal Rules of Evidence and shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss or a motion for summary judgment by any party and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the arbitration and shall govern the interpretation or enforcement of this section or any arbitration award. The arbitrator will not have the authority to consider, certify, or hear an arbitration as a class action, collective action, or any other type of representative action.

To the extent that the Federal Arbitration Act is inapplicable, California law pertaining to arbitration agreements shall apply. Arbitration in this manner shall be the exclusive remedy for any Arbitrable Dispute. Except as prohibited by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, should you or the Company attempt to resolve an

A-4

Arbitrable Dispute by any method other than arbitration pursuant to this section, the responding party will be entitled to recover from the initiating party all damages, expenses, and attorneys’ fees incurred as a result of this breach. This Section EIGHT supersedes any existing arbitration agreement between the Company and me as to any Arbitrable Dispute. Notwithstanding anything in this Section EIGHT to the contrary, a claim for benefits under an Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, covered plan shall not be an Arbitrable Dispute.

NINE: Both you and the Company understand that this Agreement is final and binding eight (8) days after its execution and return. Should you nevertheless attempt to challenge the enforceability of this Agreement as provided in Section EIGHT or, in violation of that section, through litigation, as a further limitation on any right to make such a challenge, you shall initially tender to the Company, by certified check delivered to the Company, all monies received pursuant to Section 4 or 5 of the Severance Pay Agreement, as applicable, plus interest, and invite the Company to retain such monies and agree with you to cancel this Agreement and void the Company’s obligations under the Severance Pay Agreement. In the event the Company accepts this offer, the Company shall retain such monies and this Agreement shall be canceled and the Company shall have no obligation under Section 14(e) of the Severance Pay Agreement. In the event the Company does not accept such offer, the Company shall so notify you and shall place such monies in an interest-bearing escrow account pending resolution of the dispute between you and the Company as to whether or not this Agreement and the Company’s obligations under the Severance Pay Agreement shall be set aside and/or otherwise rendered voidable or unenforceable. Additionally, any consulting agreement then in effect between you and the Company shall be immediately rescinded with no requirement of notice.

TEN: Any notices required to be given under this Agreement shall be delivered either personally or by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective parties as follows:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Sempra Energy determines in its sole discretion that the Medical Continuation Benefits cannot be provided without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act) or that the provision of Medical Continuation Benefits under this Agreement would subject Sempra Energy or any of its Affiliates to a material tax or penalty, (i) the Executive shall be provided, in lieu thereof, with a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly premium that the Executive would be required to pay to continue the Executive’s and his covered dependents’ group medical benefit coverages under COBRA as then in effect (which amount shall be based on the premiums for the first month of COBRA coverage) or (ii) Sempra Energy shall have the authority to amend the Agreement to the limited extent reasonably necessary to avoid such violation of law or tax or penalty and shall use all reasonable efforts to provide the Executive with a comparable benefit that does not violate applicable law or subject Sempra Energy or any of its Affiliates to such tax or penalty.

(d)Outplacement Services. The Executive shall receive reasonable outplacement services, on an in-kind basis, suitable to his position and directly related to the Executive’s Involuntary Termination, for a period of eighteen (18) monthsfollowing the date of the Involuntary Termination, in an aggregate amount of cost to the Company not to exceed $50,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall cease to receive outplacement services on the date the Executive accepts employment with a subsequent employer. Such outplacement services shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(A).

(e)Financial Planning Services. The Executive shall receive financial planning services, on an in-kind basis, for a period of eighteen (18) monthsfollowing the Date of Termination. Such financial planning services shall include expert financial and legal resources to assist the Executive with financial planning needs and shall be limited to (i) current investment portfolio management, (ii) tax planning, (iii) tax return preparation, and (iv) estate planning advice and document preparation (including wills and trusts); provided, however, that the Company shall provide such financial planning services during any taxable year of the Executive

10

only to the extent the cost to the Company for such taxable year does not exceed $25,000. The Company shall provide such financial planning services through a financial planner selected by the Company, and shall pay the fees for such financial planning services. The financial planning services provided during any taxable year of the Executive shall not affect the financial planning services provided in any other taxable year of the Executive. The Executive’s right to financial planning services shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4 above, and except as provided in Section 19(i) hereof, in the event of the Involuntary Termination of the Executive on or within two (2) years following a Change in Control, in lieu of the payments described in Section 4 above, Sempra Energy shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates that is the employer of the Executive to, pay the Executive, in one lump sum cash payment, an amount (the “Post-Change in Control Severance Payment”) equal to (a) the Pro Rata Bonus plus (b) the sum of (X) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or on the Date of Termination, whichever is greater, plus (Y) an amount equal to the greater of (I) the Executive’s Target Bonus determined immediately prior to the Change in Control or the Date of Termination, whichever is greater and (II) the Executive’s Average Annual Bonus. In addition to the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment, the Executive shall be entitled to the following additional benefits specified in Section 5(a) through (e). The Company's obligation to pay the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment or provide the benefits set forth in Section 5(b),(c), (d), and (e) is subject to and conditioned upon the Executive executing the Release within fifty (50) days after the date of Involuntary Termination and the Executive not revoking such Release in accordance with the terms thereof. Except as provided in Section 5(f), the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment shall be paid within sixty (60) days after the date of Involuntary Termination on such date as is determined by Sempra Energy (or its successor) but not before the Release becomes effective and irrevocable. If the fifty (50) day period in which the Release could become effective spans more than one (1) taxable year, then the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment shall not be made until the later taxable year.

(a)Accrued Obligations. The Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum amount in cash equal to the Accrued Obligations within the time required by law and, to the extent applicable, in accordance with the applicable plan, policy or arrangement pursuant to which such payments are to be made.

(b)Equity-Based Compensation. Notwithstanding the provisions of any applicable equity-based compensation plan or award agreement to the contrary, all equity-based Incentive Compensation Awards (including, without limitation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance share awards, awards covered under Section 162(m) of the Code, and dividend equivalents) held by the Executive shall immediately vest and become exercisable or payable, as the case may be, as of the Date of Termination, to be exercised or paid, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Incentive Compensation Plan and Incentive Compensation Award agreement, and any

11

restrictions on any such Incentive Compensation Awards shall automatically lapse; provided,however, that, in the case of any stock option or stock appreciation rights awards granted on or after June 26, 1998 that remain outstanding on the Date of Termination, such stock options or stock appreciation rights shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the later of eighteen (18) months following the Date of Termination or the period specified in the applicable Incentive Compensation Award agreement or (ii) the expiration of the original term of such Incentive Compensation Award (or, if earlier, the tenth (10th) anniversary of the original date of grant) (it being understood that all Incentive Compensation Awards granted prior to, on or after June 26, 1998 shall remain outstanding and exercisable for a period that is no less than that provided for in the applicable agreement in effect as of the date of grant).

(c)Welfare Benefits. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of Involuntary Termination (and an additional twelve (12) months if the Executive provides consulting services under Section 14(f) hereof), the Executive and his dependents shall be provided with life, disability, accident and group medical benefits which are substantially similar to those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the date of Involuntary Termination or the Change in Control Date, whichever is more favorable to the Executive. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the continuing benefits described in the preceding sentence shall be provided on substantially the same terms and conditions and at the same cost to the Executive as in effect immediately prior to the date of Involuntary Termination or the Change in Control Date, whichever is more favorable to the Executive. Such benefits shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Sempra Energy determines in its sole discretion that the portion of the foregoing continuing benefits that constitute group medical benefits cannot be provided without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act) or that the provision of such group medical benefits under this Agreement would subject Sempra Energy or any of its Affiliates to a material tax or penalty, (i) the Executive shall be provided, in lieu thereof, with a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly premium that the Executive would be required to pay to continue the Executive’s and his covered dependents’ group medical benefit coverages under COBRA as then in effect (which amount shall be based on the premiums for the first month of COBRA coverage) or (ii) Sempra Energy shall have the authority to amend the Agreement to the limited extent reasonably necessary to avoid such violation of law or tax or penalty and shall use all reasonable efforts to provide the Executive with a comparable benefit that does not violate applicable law or subject Sempra Energy or any of its Affiliates to such tax or penalty.

(d)Outplacement Services. The Executive shall receive reasonable outplacement services, on an in-kind basis, suitable to his position and directly related to the Executive’s Involuntary Termination, for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the date of Involuntary Termination (but in no event beyond the last day of the Executive’s second (2nd) taxable year following the Executive’s taxable year in which the Involuntary Termination occurs), in the aggregate amount of cost to the Company not to exceed $50,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall cease to receive outplacement services on the date the Executive accepts employment with a subsequent employer. Such outplacement

12

services shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(A).

(e)Financial Planning Services. The Executive shall receive financial planning services, on an in-kind basis, for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the date of Involuntary Termination. Such financial planning services shall include expert financial and legal resources to assist the Executive with financial planning needs and shall be limited to (i) current investment portfolio management, (ii) tax planning, (iii) tax return preparation, and (iv) estate planning advice and document preparation (including wills and trusts); provided, however, that the Company shall provide such financial services during any taxable year of the Executive only to the extent the cost to the Company for such taxable year does not exceed $25,000. The Company shall provide such financial planning services through a financial planner selected by the Company, and shall pay the fees for such financial planning services. The financial planning services provided during any taxable year of the Executive shall not affect the financial planning services provided in any other taxable year of the Executive. The Executive’s right to financial planning services shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. Such financial planning services shall be provided in a manner that complies with Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv).

(f)Involuntary Termination in Connection with a Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event of an Involuntary Termination prior to a Change in Control, if the Involuntary Termination (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect such Change in Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of such Change in Control, then the Executive shall, in lieu of the payments described in Section 4 hereof, be entitled to the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment and the additional benefits described in this Section 5 as if such Involuntary Termination had occurred within two (2) years following the Change in Control. The amounts specified in Section 5 that are to be paid under this Section 5(f) shall be reduced by any amount previously paid under Section 4. The amounts to be paid under this Section 5(f) shall be paid within sixty (60) days after the Change in Control Date of such Change in Control.

Section 6.Severance Benefits upon Termination by the Company for Cause or by the Executive Other than for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause, or if the Executive terminates employment other than for Good Reason, the Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement other than the pre-Change in Control Accrued Obligations and any amounts or benefits described in Section 10 hereof.

Section 7.Severance Benefits upon Termination due to Death or Disability. If the Executive has a Separation from Service by reason of death or Disability, the Company shall pay the Executive or his estate, as the case may be, the Accrued Obligations and a severance amount equal to the Pro Rata Bonus (without regard to whether a Change in Control has occurred) and any amounts or benefits described in Section 10 hereof. Such payments shall be in addition to those rights and benefits to which the Executive or his estate may be entitled under the relevant Company plans or programs. The Company's obligation to pay the severance amount pursuant to this Section 7 is conditioned upon the Executive, the Executive's

13

representative or the Executive's estate, as the case may be executing the Release within fifty (50) days after the date of the Executive's Separation from Service and not revoking such Release in accordance with the terms thereof. The Accrued Obligations shall be paid within the time required by law and the severance amount payable pursuant to this Section 7 shall be paid within sixty (60) days after the date of the Separation from Service on such date determined by Sempra Energy but not before the Release becomes effective and irrevocable. If the fifty (50) day period in which the Release could become effective spans more than one (1) taxable year, then the severance amount shall not be made until the later taxable year.

Section 8.Limitation on Payments by the Company.

(a)Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth in this Section 8 below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution “in the nature of compensation” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (the “Payment”) would be subject (in whole or in part) to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, (the “Excise Tax”), then, subject to Section 8(b), the Pre-Change in Control Severance Payment or the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment (whichever is applicable) payable under this Agreement shall be reduced under this Section 8(a) to the amount equal to the Reduced Payment. For such Payment payable under this Agreement, the “Reduced Payment” shall be the amount equal to the greatest portion of the Payment (which may be zero ($0)) that, if paid, would result in no portion of any Payment being subject to the Excise Tax.

(b)The Pre-Change in Control Severance Payment or the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment (whichever is applicable) payable under this Agreement shall not be reduced under Section 8(a) if:

(i)such reduction in such Payment is not sufficient to cause no portion of any Payment to be subject to the Excise Tax, or

(ii)the Net After-Tax Unreduced Payments (as defined below) would equal or exceed one hundred five percent (105%) of the Net After-Tax Reduced Payments (as defined below).

For purposes of determining the amount of any Reduced Payment under Section 8(a), and the Net-After Tax Reduced Payments and the Net After-Tax Unreduced Payments, the Executive shall be considered to pay federal, state and local income and employment taxes at the Executive’s applicable marginal rates taking into consideration any reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from the deduction of state and local income taxes, and any reduction or disallowance of itemized deductions and personal exemptions under applicable tax law). The applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax (to the extent applicable) are collectively referred to as the “Taxes.”

(c)For purposes of determining the amount of any Reduced Payment under this Section 8, the amount of any Payment shall be reduced in the following order:

14

(i)first, by reducing the amounts of parachute payments that would not constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code;

(ii)next, if after the reduction described in Section 8(c)(i), additional reductions are required, then by reducing the cash portion of the Payment that constitutes “deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A) subject to Section 409A, with the reductions to be applied first to the portion of the Payment scheduled for the latest distribution date, and then applied to distributions scheduled for progressively earlier distribution dates, to the extent necessary to decrease the Payment as required under this Section 8; and

(iii)next, if after the reduction described in Section 8(c)(ii), additional reductions are required, then, by reducing the non-cash portion of the Payment that constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) subject to Section 409A, with the reductions to be applied first to the portion of the Payment scheduled for the latest distribution date, and then applied to distributions scheduled for progressively earlier distribution dates, to the extent necessary to decrease the Payment as required under this Section 8.

(d)The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Section 8:

(i)“Net After-Tax Reduced Payments” shall mean the total amount of all Payments that the Executive would retain, on a Net After-Tax Basis, in the event that the Payments payable under this Agreement are reduced pursuant to Section 8(a).

(ii)“Net After-Tax Unreduced Payments” shall mean the total amount of all Payments that the Executive would retain, on a Net After-Tax Basis, in the event that the Payments payable under this Agreement are not reduced pursuant to Section 8(a).

(iii)“Net After-Tax Basis” shall mean, with respect to the Payments, either with or without reduction under Section 8(a) (as applicable), the amount that would be retained by the Executive from such Payments after the payment of all Taxes.

(e)All determinations required to be made under this Section 8 and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm as may be agreed by the Companyand the Executive (the “Accounting Firm”); provided, that the Accounting Firm’s determination shall be made based upon “substantial authority” within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code. The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations to both the Company and the Executive within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax, (i) no portion of the Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which the Executive shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to constitute a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code shall be taken into account, (ii) no portion of the Payments shall be taken into account which, in the written opinion of the Accounting Firm, does not constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of

15

Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of the Accounting Firm, constitutes “reasonable compensation” for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such reasonable compensation, and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Payments shall be determined by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the principles of Section 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.

Section 9.Delayed Distribution under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Executive’s Involuntary Termination (or on the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service by reason of Disability), the Section 409A Payments which are payable upon Separation from Service shall be delayed to the extent necessary in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and such delayed payments or benefits shall be paid or distributed to the Executive during the thirty (30) day period commencing on the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six (6) month period measured from the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service or (b) the date of the Executive’s death. Upon the expiration of the applicable six (6) month period, all payments deferred pursuant to this Section 9 (excluding in-kind benefits) shall be paid in a lump sum payment to the Executive, plus interest thereon from the date of the Executive’s Involuntary Termination through the payment date at an annual rate equal to Moody’s Rate. The “Moody’s Rate” shall mean the average of the daily Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield Average – Monthly Average Corporates as published by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (or any successor) for the month next preceding the Date of Termination. Any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.

Section 10.Nonexclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any benefit, plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company and for which the Executive may qualify (except with respect to any benefit to which the Executive has waived his rights in writing), including, without limitation, any and all indemnification arrangements in favor of the Executive (whether under agreements or under the Company’s charter documents or otherwise), and insurance policies covering the Executive, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any other contract or agreement entered into after the Effective Date with the Company. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any benefit, plan, policy, practice or program of, or any contract or agreement entered into with, the Company shall be payable in accordance with such benefit, plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. At all times during the  Executive’s employment with the Company and thereafter, the Company shall provide (to the extent permissible under applicable law) the  Executive with indemnification and D&O insurance insuring the  Executive against insurable events which occur or have occurred while the  Executive was a director or executive officer of the Company, that with respect to such insurance is on terms and conditions that, to the extent reasonably practical, are at least as generous as that then currently provided to any other current or former

16

director or executive officer of the Company or any Affiliate.  Such indemnification and D&O insurance shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(10).

Section 11.Clawbacks. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Sempra Energy determines, in its good faith judgment, that if the Executive is required to forfeit or to make any repayment of any compensation or benefit(s) to the Company under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any other law or pursuant to any formal policy of Sempra Energy, such forfeiture or repayment shall not constitute Good Reason.

Section 12.Full Settlement; Mitigation. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others, provided that nothing herein shall preclude the Company from separately pursuing recovery from the Executive based on any such claim. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts (including amounts for damages for breach) payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment.

Section 13.Dispute Resolution.

(a)If any dispute arises between the Executive and Sempra Energy or any of its Affiliates, including, but not limited to, disputes relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any action relating to or arising out of the Executive’s employment or its termination, and/or any disputes regarding the interpretation, enforceability, or validity of this Agreement (“Arbitrable Dispute”), the Executive and Sempra Energy waive the right to resolve the dispute through litigation in a judicial forum and agree to resolve the Arbitrable Dispute through final and binding arbitration, except as prohibited by law. Arbitration shall be the exclusive remedy for any Arbitrable Dispute.

(b)As to any Arbitrable Dispute, Sempra Energy and the Executive waive any right to a jury trial or a court bench trial. The Company and the Executive also waive the right to bring, maintain, or participate in any class, collective, or representative proceeding, whether in arbitration or otherwise. Further, Arbitrable Disputes must be brought in the individual capacity of the party asserting the claim, and cannot be maintained on a class, collective, or representative basis.

(c)Arbitration shall take place at the office of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”) (or, if the Executive is employed outside of California, the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”)) nearest to the location where the Executive last worked for the Company. Except to the extent it conflicts with the rules and procedures set forth in this Agreement, arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the JAMS Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures (if the Executive is employed outside of California, the AAA Employment Arbitration Rules & Mediation Procedures), copies of which are attached for reference and available at www.jamsadr.com; tel: 800.352.5267 and www.adr.org; tel:

17

800.778.7879, before a single experienced, neutral employment arbitrator selected in accordance with those rules.

(d)Sempra Energy will be responsible for paying any filing fee and the fees and costs of the arbitrator. Each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that authorizes an award of attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party, or if there is a written agreement providing for attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party, applying the same standards a court would apply under the law applicable to the claim.

(e)The arbitrator shall apply the Federal Rules of Evidence, shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss or a motion for summary judgment by any party, and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator does not have the authority to consider, certify, or hear an arbitration as a class action, collective action, or any other type of representative action. Sempra Energy and the Executive recognize that this Agreement arises out of or concerns interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the arbitration and shall govern the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement or any arbitration award.

(f)EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, EXECUTIVE IS WAIVING ANY RIGHT HE MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 14.Executive’s Covenants.

(a)Confidentiality. The Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment with the Company, he has acquired non-public privileged or confidential information and trade secrets concerning the operations, future plans and methods of doing business (“Proprietary Information”) of Sempra Energy and its Affiliates; and the Executive agrees that it would be extremely damaging to Sempra Energy and its Affiliates if such Proprietary Information were disclosed to a competitor of Sempra Energy and its Affiliates or to any other person or corporation. The Executive understands and agrees that all Proprietary Information has been divulged to the Executive in confidence and further understands and agrees to keep all Proprietary Information secret and confidential (except for such information which is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach by the Executive of this provision or information the Executive is required by any governmental, administrative or court order to disclose) without limitation in time. In view of the nature of the Executive’s employment and the Proprietary Information the Executive has acquired during the course of such employment, the Executive likewise agrees that Sempra Energy and its Affiliates would be irreparably harmed by any disclosure of Proprietary Information in violation of the terms of this Section 14(a) and that Sempra Energy and its Affiliates shall therefore be entitled to preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief prohibiting the Executive from engaging in any activity or threatened activity in violation of the terms of this Section 14(a) and to any other relief available to them. Inquiries regarding whether specific information constitutes Proprietary Information shall be directed to the Company’s Senior Vice President, Public Policy (or, if such position is vacant, the

18

Company’s then Chief Executive Officer); provided, that the Company shall not unreasonably classify information as Proprietary Information.

(b)Governmental Reporting. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to interfere with or discourage the Executive’s good faith disclosure related to a suspected violation of federal or state law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal or state law or regulation. The Executive cannot and will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for disclosing otherwise protected trade secrets and/or confidential or proprietary information so long as the disclosure is made in (i) confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, so long as such filing is made under seal. The Company will not retaliate against the Executive in any way for a disclosure made pursuant to this Section 14(b). Further, in the event the Executive makes such a disclosure, and files a lawsuit against the Company alleging that the Company retaliated against the Executive because of the disclosure, the Executive may disclose the relevant trade secret or confidential information to the Executive’s attorney, and may use the same in the court proceeding only if (X) the Executive ensures that any court filing that includes the trade secret or confidential information at issue is made under seal; and (Y) the Executive does not otherwise disclose the trade secret or confidential information except as required by court order.

(c)Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Executive recognizes that he possesses and will possess confidential information about other employees of Sempra Energy and its Affiliates relating to their education, experience, skills, abilities, compensation and benefits, and inter-personal relationships with customers of Sempra Energy and its Affiliates. The Executive recognizes that the information he possesses and will possess about these other employees is not generally known, is of substantial value to Sempra Energy and its Affiliates in developing their business and in securing and retaining customers, and has been and will be acquired by him because of his business position with Sempra Energy and its Affiliates. The Executive agrees that at all times during the Executive’s employment with the Company and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, he will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or recruit any employee of the Company or its Affiliates for the purpose of being employed by him or by any competitor of the Company or its Affiliates on whose behalf he is acting as an agent, representative or employee and that he will not convey any such confidential information or trade secrets about other employees of Sempra Energy and its Affiliates to any other person; provided, however, that it shall not constitute a solicitation or recruitment of employment in violation of this Section 14(c) to discuss employment opportunities with any employee of the Company or its Affiliates who has either first contacted the Executive or regarding whose employment the Executive has discussed with and received the written approval of the Company’s most senior Vice President, Human Resources (or, if such position is vacant, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer), prior to making such solicitation or recruitment. In view of the nature of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive likewise agrees that Sempra Energy and its Affiliates would be irreparably harmed by any solicitation or recruitment in violation of the terms of this Section 14(c) and that Sempra Energy and its

19

Affiliates shall therefore be entitled to preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief prohibiting the Executive from engaging in any activity or threatened activity in violation of the terms of this Section 14(c) and to any other relief available to them.

(d)Survival of Provisions. The obligations contained in Section 14(a), (b) and (c) above shall survive the termination of the Executive’s employment within the Company and shall be fully enforceable thereafter. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in Section 14(a) or (c) above is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under the laws of that state, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law of that state.

(e)Release; Consulting Payment. In the event of the Executive’s Involuntary Termination, if the Executive (i) reconfirms and agrees to abide by the covenants described in Section 14(a) and (c) above, (ii) executes the Release within fifty (50) days after the date of Involuntary Termination and does not revoke such Release in accordance with the terms thereof, and (iii) agrees to provide the consulting services described in Section 14(f) below, then in consideration for such covenants and consulting services, the Company shall pay the Executive, in one (1) cash lump sum, an amount (the “Consulting Payment”) in cash equal to the sum of (X) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary as in effect on the Date of Termination, plus (Y) the greater of the Executive’s Average Annual Bonus or the Executive’s Target Bonus on the Date of Termination. Except as provided in this Section 14(e), the Consulting Payment shall be paid on such date as is determined by the Company within the ten (10) day period commencing on the sixtieth (60th) day after the date of the Executive’s Involuntary Termination; provided, however, that if the Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Executive’s Involuntary Termination, the Consulting Payment shall be paid as provided in Section 9 hereof to the extent required.

(f)Consulting. If the Executive agrees to the provisions of Section 14(e) above, then the Executive shall have the obligation to provide consulting services to the Company as an independent contractor, commencing on the Date of Termination and ending on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Date of Termination (the “Consulting Period”). The Executive shall hold himself available at reasonable times and on reasonable notice to render such consulting services as may be so assigned to him by the Board or the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer; provided, however, that unless the parties otherwise agree, the consulting services rendered by the Executive during the Consulting Period shall not exceed twenty (20) hours each month; and, provided, further, that the consulting services rendered by the Executive during the Consulting Period shall in no event exceed twenty percent (20%) of the average level of services performed by the Executive for the Company over the thirty-six (36) month period immediately preceding the Executive’s Separation from Service (or the full period of services to the Company, if the Executive has been providing services to the Company for less than thirty-six (36) months). The Company agrees to use its best efforts during the Consulting Period to secure the benefit of the Executive’s consulting services so as to minimize the interference with the Executive’s other activities, including requiring the performance of consulting services at the Company’s offices only when such services may not be reasonably performed off-site by the Executive.

20

Section 15.Legal Fees.

(a)Reimbursement of Legal Fees. Subject to Section 15(b), in the event of the Executive’s Separation from Service either (i) prior to a Change in Control, or (ii) on or within two (2) years following a Change in Control, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for all legal fees and expenses (including but not limited to fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration) incurred by the Executive in disputing any issue arising under this Agreement relating to the Executive’s Separation from Service or in seeking to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Agreement.

(b)Requirements for Reimbursement. The Company shall reimburse the Executive’s legal fees and expenses pursuant to Section 15(a) above only to the extent the arbitrator or court determines the following: (i) the Executive disputed such issue, or sought to obtain or enforce such benefit or right, in good faith, (ii) the Executive had a reasonable basis for such claim, and (iii) in the case of Section 15(a)(i) above, the Executive is the prevailing party. In addition, the Company shall reimburse such legal fees and expenses, only if such legal fees and expenses are incurred during the twenty (20) year period beginning on the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service. The legal fees and expenses paid to the Executive for any taxable year of the Executive shall not affect the legal fees and expenses paid to the Executive for any other taxable year of the Executive. The legal fees and expenses shall be paid to the Executive on or before the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the fees or expenses are determined to be payable pursuant to this Agreement. The Executive’s right to reimbursement of legal fees and expenses shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. Such right to reimbursement of legal fees and expenses shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv).

Section 16.Successors.

(a)Assignment by the Executive. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of Sempra Energy shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives.

(b)Successors and Assigns of Sempra Energy. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Sempra Energy and its successors and assigns. Sempra Energy may not assign this Agreement to any person or entity (except for a successor described in Section 16(c), (d) or (e) below) without the Executive’s written consent.

(c)Assumption. Sempra Energy shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of Sempra Energy to assume expressly and agree to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities of this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Sempra Energy would have been required to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement if no such succession had taken place, and Sempra Energy shall have no further obligations and liabilities under this Agreement. Upon

21

such assumption, references to Sempra Energy in this Agreement shall be replaced with references to such successor.

(d)Sale of Subsidiary. In the event that (i) the Executive is employed by a direct or indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy that is a member of the Sempra Energy Control Group, (ii) Sempra Energy, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, sells or otherwise disposes of such subsidiary, and (iii) such subsidiary ceases to be a member of the Sempra Energy Control Group, then if, on the date such subsidiary ceases to be a member of the Sempra Energy Control Group, the Executive continues in employment with such subsidiary and the Executive does not have a Separation from Service, Sempra Energy shall require such subsidiary or any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase merger, consolidation or otherwise) to such subsidiary, or the parent thereof, to assume expressly and agree to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Sempra Energy would have been required to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement, if such subsidiary had not ceased to be part of the Sempra Energy Control Group, and, upon such assumption, Sempra Energy shall have no further obligations and liabilities under the Agreement. Upon such assumption, references to Sempra Energy in this Agreement shall be replaced with references to such subsidiary, or such successor or parent thereof, assuming this Agreement, and subsection (b) of the definition of “Cause” and subsection (b) of the definition of “Good Reason” shall apply thereafter, as if a Change in Control had occurred on the date of such cessation.

(e)Sale of Assets of Subsidiary. In the event that (i) the Executive is employed by a direct or indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy, and (ii) such subsidiary sells or otherwise disposes of substantial assets of such subsidiary to an unrelated service recipient, as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(f)(2)(ii) (the “Asset Purchaser”), in a transaction described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(4) (an “Asset Sale”), then if, on the date of such Asset Sale, the Executive becomes employed by the Asset Purchaser, Sempra Energy and the Asset Purchaser may specify, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(4), that the Executive shall not be treated as having a Separation from Service, and in such event, Sempra Energy may require such Asset Purchaser, or the parent thereof, to assume expressly and agree to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would have been required to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement, if the Asset Sale had not taken place, and, upon such assumption, Sempra Energy shall have no further obligations and liabilities under the Agreement. Upon such assumption, references to Sempra Energy in this Agreement shall be replaced with references to the Asset Purchaser or the parent thereof, as applicable, and subsection (b) of the definition of “Cause” and subsection (b) of the definition of “Good Reason” shall apply thereafter, as if a Change in Control had occurred on the date of the Asset Sale.

Section 17.Administration Prior to Change in Control. Prior to a Change in Control, the Compensation Committee shall have full and complete authority to construe and interpret the provisions of this Agreement, to determine an individual’s entitlement to benefits under this Agreement, to make in its sole and absolute discretion all determinations contemplated under this Agreement, to investigate and make factual determinations necessary or advisable to

22

administer or implement this Agreement, and to adopt such rules and procedures as it deems necessary or advisable for the administration or implementation of this Agreement. All determinations made under this Agreement by the Compensation Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all interested persons. Prior to a Change in Control, the Compensation Committee may delegate responsibilities for the operation and administration of this Agreement to one or more officers or employees of the Company. The provisions of this Section 17 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.

Section 18.Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. All payments and benefits payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Section 409A Payments) are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Certain payments and benefits payable under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the applicable requirements of, and exemptions from, Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. To the extent the payments and benefits under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A of the Code, this Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and administered in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. If the Company and the Executive determine that any compensation, benefits or other payments that are payable under this Agreement and intended to comply with Section 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code do not comply with Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and other applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and any applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, the Company and the Executive agree to amend this Agreement, or take such other actions as the Company and the Executive deem reasonably necessary or appropriate, to cause such compensation, benefits and other payments to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and other applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, while providing compensation, benefits and other payments that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than the compensation, benefits and other payments provided under this Agreement. In the case of any compensation, benefits or other payments that are payable under this Agreement and intended to comply with Section 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code, if any provision of the Agreement would cause such compensation, benefits or other payments to fail to so comply, such provision shall not be effective and shall be null and void with respect to such compensation, benefits or other payments to the extent such provision would cause a failure to comply, and such provision shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

Section 19.Miscellaneous.

(c)Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

(d)Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state or local taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

(e)No Waiver. The Executive’s or the Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision hereof or any other provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any right the Executive or the Company may have hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Executive to terminate employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 1 hereof, or the right of the Company to terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause pursuant to Section 1 hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.

(f)Entire Agreement; Exclusive Benefit; Supersession of Prior Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the Executive, the Company or any predecessor or subsidiary thereof with respect to any severance or termination pay. The Pre-Change in Control Severance Payment, the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment and all other benefits provided hereunder shall be in lieu of any other severance payments to which the Executive is entitled under any other severance plan or program or arrangement sponsored by the Company, as well as pursuant to any individual employment or severance agreement that was entered into by the Executive and the Company, and, upon the Effective Date of this Agreement, all such plans, programs, arrangements and agreements are hereby automatically superseded and terminated.

(g)No Right of Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Executive any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Executive’s employment at any time, with or without Cause.

(h)Unfunded Obligation. The obligations under this Agreement shall be unfunded. Benefits payable under this Agreement shall be paid from the general assets of the Company. The Company shall have no obligation to establish any fund or to set aside any assets to provide benefits under this Agreement.

24

(i)Termination upon Sale of Assets of Subsidiary. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect and no benefits shall be payable hereunder in the event that (i) the Executive is employed by a direct or indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy, (ii) an Asset Sale (as defined in Section 16(e)) occurs (other than such a sale or disposition which is part of a transaction or series of transactions which would result in a Change in Control), and (iii) as a result of such Asset Sale, the Executive is offered employment by the Asset Purchaser in an executive position with reasonably comparable status, compensation, benefits and severance agreement (including the assumption of this Agreement in accordance with Section 16(e)) and which is consistent with the Executive’s experience and education, but the Executive declines to accept such offer and the Executive fails to become employed by the Asset Purchaser on the date of the Asset Sale.

(j)Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that commencing on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Date (and each anniversary of the Effective Date thereafter), the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for one (1) additional year, unless at least ninety (90) days prior to such date, the Company or the Executive shall give written notice to the other party that it or he, as the case may be, does not wish to so extend this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company gives such written notice to the Executive (i) at a time when Sempra Energy is a party to an agreement that, if consummated, would constitute a Change in Control or (ii) less than two (2) years after a Change in Control, the term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended until the later of (X) the date that is one (1) year after the anniversary of the Effective Date that follows such written notice or (Y) the second (2nd) anniversary of the Change in Control Date.

(k)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

EXHIBIT A

GENERAL RELEASE

This GENERAL RELEASE (the “Agreement”), dated ___________, is made by and between ______________________________, a California corporation (the “Company”) and ___________________________ (“you” or “your”).

WHEREAS, you and the Company have previously entered into that certain Severance Pay Agreement dated ____________, 20___ (the “Severance Pay Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, your right to receive certain severance pay and benefits pursuant to the terms of Section 4 or 5 of the Severance Pay Agreement, as applicable, is subject to and conditioned upon your execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims by you against the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

WHEREAS, your right to receive the Consulting Payment provided pursuant to Section 14(e) of the Severance Pay Agreement is subject to and conditioned upon your execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims by you against the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates; and your adherence to the covenants described under Section 14 of the Severance Pay Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, you and the Company hereby agree as follows:

ONE: Your signing of this Agreement confirms that your employment with the Company shall terminate at the close of business on ____________, or earlier upon our mutual agreement. This Agreement is not a condition of employment or continued employment or a condition of receiving a raise or a bonus.

TWO: As a material inducement for the payment of the severance and benefits of the Severance Pay Agreement, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge the other from any and all Claims either may have against the other. For purposes of this Agreement and the preceding sentence, the words “Releasee” or “Releasees” and “Claim” or “Claims” shall have the meanings set forth below:

(a)    The words “Releasee” or “Releasees” shall refer to you and to the Company and each of the Company’s owners, stockholders, predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, attorneys, advisors, parent companies, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates (and agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, attorneys and advisors of such parent companies, divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates) and all persons acting by, through, under or in concert with any of them.

(b)    The words “Claim” or “Claims” shall refer to any charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of

action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred) of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which you or the Company now, in the past or, in the future may have, own or hold against any of the Releasees; provided, however, that the word “Claim” or “Claims” shall not refer to any charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred) arising under [identify severance, employee benefits, stock option, indemnification and D&O and other agreements containing duties, rights obligations etc. of either party that are to remain operative]. Claims released pursuant to this Agreement by you and the Company include, but are not limited to, rights arising out of alleged violations of any contracts, express or implied, any tort, claim, any claim that you failed to perform or negligently performed or breached your duties during employment at the Company, any legal restrictions on the Company’s right to terminate employment relationships; and any federal, state or other governmental statute, regulation, or ordinance, governing the employment relationship including, without limitation, all state and federal laws and regulations prohibiting discrimination based on protected categories, and all state and federal laws and regulations prohibiting retaliation against employees for engaging in protected activity or legal off-duty conduct. This release does not extend to claims for workers’ compensation or other claims which by law may not be waived or released by this Agreement.

THREE: You and the Company expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits afforded by any statute (including but not limited to Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California and analogous laws of other states) which limits the effect of a release with respect to unknown claims. You and the Company do so understanding and acknowledging the significance of the release of unknown claims and the waiver of statutory protection against a release of unknown claims (including but not limited to Section 1542). Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California states as follows:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542 or of any similar statute, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Releasees, you and the Company expressly acknowledge that this Agreement is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all Claims which are known and all Claims which you or the Company do not know or suspect to exist in your or the Company’s favor at the time of execution of this Agreement and that this Agreement contemplates the extinguishment of all such Claims.

FOUR: The parties acknowledge that they might hereafter discover facts different from, or in addition to, those they now know or believe to be true with respect to a Claim or Claims released herein, and they expressly agree to assume the risk of possible discovery of

A-2

additional or different facts, and agree that this Agreement shall be and remain effective, in all respects, regardless of such additional or different discovered facts.

FIVE: As a further material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement, you hereby agree to indemnify and hold each of the Releasees harmless from all loss, costs, damages, or expenses, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees incurred by the Releasees, arising out of any breach of this Agreement by you or the fact that any representation made in this Agreement by you was false when made.

As a further material inducement to you to enter into this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold each of the Releasees harmless from all loss, costs, damages, or expenses, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees incurred by the Releasees, arising out of any breach of this Agreement by it or the fact that any representation made in this Agreement by it was knowingly false when made.

SIX: You and the Company represent and acknowledge that in executing this Agreement, neither is relying upon any representation or statement not set forth in this Agreement or the Severance Agreement.

SEVEN:

    (a)    This Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an admission by the Company that it has acted wrongfully with respect to you or any other person, or that you have any rights whatsoever against the Company, and the Company specifically disclaims any liability to or wrongful acts against you or any other person, on the part of itself, its employees or its agents. This Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an admission by you that you have acted wrongfully with respect to the Company, or that you failed to perform your duties or negligently performed or breached your duties, or that the Company had good cause to terminate your employment.

    (b)    If you are a party or are threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that you were an officer or director of the Company, the Company shall indemnify you against any expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees; provided,that counsel has been approved by the Company prior to retention, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually or reasonably incurred by you in connection with that proceeding; provided, further,that you acted in good faith and in a manner you reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Company. The limitations of Section 317 of the Corporations Code of the State of California shall apply to this assurance of indemnification.

    (c)    You agree to cooperate with the Company and its designated attorneys, representatives and agents in connection with any actual or threatened judicial, administrative or other legal or equitable proceeding in which the Company is or may become involved. Upon reasonable notice, you agree to meet with and provide to the Company or its designated attorneys, representatives or agents all information and knowledge you have relating

A-3

to the subject matter of any such proceeding. The Company agrees to reimburse you for any reasonable costs you incur in providing such cooperation.

EIGHT: This Agreement is entered into in California and shall be governed by substantive California law, except as provided in this section. If any dispute arises between you and the Company, including but not limited to, disputes relating to this Agreement, or if you prosecute a claim you purported to release by means of this Agreement (“Arbitrable Dispute”), you and the Company agree to resolve that Arbitrable Dispute through final and binding arbitration under this section. You also agree to arbitrate any Arbitrable Dispute which also involves any other released party who offers or agrees to arbitrate the dispute under this section. Your agreement to arbitrate applies, for example, to disputes about the validity, interpretation, or effect of this Agreement or alleged violations of it, claims of discrimination under federal or state law, or other statutory violation claims.

As to any Arbitrable Dispute, you and the Company waive any right to a jury trial or a court bench trial. You and the Company also waive the right to bring, maintain, or participate in any class, collective, or representative proceeding, whether in arbitration or otherwise. Further, Arbitrable Disputes must be brought in the individual capacity of the party asserting the claim, and cannot be maintained on a class, collective, or representative basis.

Arbitration shall take place in San Diego, California under the employment dispute resolution rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service, (or, if you are employed outside of California at the time of the termination of your employment, at the nearest location of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and in accordance with the AAA rules), before an experienced employment arbitrator selected in accordance with those rules. The arbitrator may not modify or change this Agreement in any way. The Company will be responsible for paying any filing fee and the fees and costs of the Arbitrator; provided, however, that if you are the party initiating the claim, you will contribute an amount equal to the filing fee to initiate a claim in the court of general jurisdiction in the state in which you are employed by the Company. Each party shall pay for its own costs and attorneys’ fees, if any. However if any party prevails on a statutory claim which affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs, or if there is a written agreement providing for attorneys’ fees and/or costs, the Arbitrator may award reasonable attorney’s fees and/or costs to the prevailing party, applying the same standards a court would apply under the law applicable to the claim. The Arbitrator shall apply the Federal Rules of Evidence and shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss or a motion for summary judgment by any party and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the arbitration and shall govern the interpretation or enforcement of this section or any arbitration award. The arbitrator will not have the authority to consider, certify, or hear an arbitration as a class action, collective action, or any other type of representative action.

To the extent that the Federal Arbitration Act is inapplicable, California law pertaining to arbitration agreements shall apply. Arbitration in this manner shall be the exclusive remedy for any Arbitrable Dispute. Except as prohibited by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, should you or the Company attempt to resolve an

A-4

Arbitrable Dispute by any method other than arbitration pursuant to this section, the responding party will be entitled to recover from the initiating party all damages, expenses, and attorneys’ fees incurred as a result of this breach. This Section EIGHT supersedes any existing arbitration agreement between the Company and me as to any Arbitrable Dispute. Notwithstanding anything in this Section EIGHT to the contrary, a claim for benefits under an Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, covered plan shall not be an Arbitrable Dispute.

NINE: Both you and the Company understand that this Agreement is final and binding eight (8) days after its execution and return. Should you nevertheless attempt to challenge the enforceability of this Agreement as provided in Section EIGHT or, in violation of that section, through litigation, as a further limitation on any right to make such a challenge, you shall initially tender to the Company, by certified check delivered to the Company, all monies received pursuant to Section 4 or 5 of the Severance Pay Agreement, as applicable, plus interest, and invite the Company to retain such monies and agree with you to cancel this Agreement and void the Company’s obligations under the Severance Pay Agreement. In the event the Company accepts this offer, the Company shall retain such monies and this Agreement shall be canceled and the Company shall have no obligation under Section 14(e) of the Severance Pay Agreement. In the event the Company does not accept such offer, the Company shall so notify you and shall place such monies in an interest-bearing escrow account pending resolution of the dispute between you and the Company as to whether or not this Agreement and the Company’s obligations under the Severance Pay Agreement shall be set aside and/or otherwise rendered voidable or unenforceable. Additionally, any consulting agreement then in effect between you and the Company shall be immediately rescinded with no requirement of notice.

TEN: Any notices required to be given under this Agreement shall be delivered either personally or by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective parties as follows:

To Company:    [TO COME]

    Attn: [TO COME]

To You:    _____________________

_____________________

_____________________

ELEVEN: You understand and acknowledge that you have been given a period of forty-five (45) days to review and consider this Agreement (as well as certain data on other persons eligible for similar benefits, if any) before signing it and may use as much of this forty-five (45) day period as you wish prior to signing. You are encouraged, at your personal expense, to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement. You understand and acknowledge that whether or not you do so is your decision. You may revoke this Agreement within seven (7) days of signing it. If you wish to revoke, the Company’s Vice President, Human Resources must receive written notice from you no later than the close of business on the seventh (7th) day after you have signed the Agreement. If revoked, this Agreement shall not be effective and

A-5

enforceable, and you will not receive payments or benefits under Section 4 or 5 of the Severance Pay Agreement, as applicable.

TWELVE: This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersedes any and all other agreements (except the Severance Pay Agreement) with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether written or oral, between you and the Company. All modifications and amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the parties.

THIRTEEN: Each party agrees, without further consideration, to sign or cause to be signed, and to deliver to the other party, any other documents and to take any other action as may be necessary to fulfill the obligations under this Agreement.

FOURTEEN: If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or application; and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable.

FIFTEEN: This Agreement may be executed in counterparts.

I have read the foregoing General Release, and I accept and agree to the provisions it contains and hereby execute it voluntarily and with full understanding of its consequences. I am aware it includes a release of all known or unknown claims.

(a)Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth in this Section 8 below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution “in the nature of compensation” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (the “Payment”) would be subject (in whole or in part) to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, (the “Excise Tax”), then, subject to Section 8(b), the Pre-Change in Control Severance Payment or the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment (whichever is applicable) payable under this Agreement shall be reduced under this Section 8(a) to the amount equal to the Reduced Payment. For such Payment payable under this Agreement, the “Reduced Payment” shall be the amount equal to the greatest portion of the Payment (which may be zero ($0)) that, if paid, would result in no portion of any Payment being subject to the Excise Tax.

(b)The Pre-Change in Control Severance Payment or the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment (whichever is applicable) payable under this Agreement shall not be reduced under Section 8(a) if:

(i)such reduction in such Payment is not sufficient to cause no portion of any Payment to be subject to the Excise Tax, or

(ii)the Net After-Tax Unreduced Payments (as defined below) would equal or exceed one hundred five percent (105%) of the Net After-Tax Reduced Payments (as defined below).

For purposes of determining the amount of any Reduced Payment under Section 8(a), and the Net-After Tax Reduced Payments and the Net After-Tax Unreduced Payments, the Executive shall be considered to pay federal, state and local income and employment taxes at the Executive’s

14

applicable marginal rates taking into consideration any reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from the deduction of state and local income taxes, and any reduction or disallowance of itemized deductions and personal exemptions under applicable tax law). The applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax (to the extent applicable) are collectively referred to as the “Taxes.”

(c)For purposes of determining the amount of any Reduced Payment under this Section 8, the amount of any Payment shall be reduced in the following order:

(i)first, by reducing the amounts of parachute payments that would not constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code;

(ii)next, if after the reduction described in Section 8(c)(i), additional reductions are required, then by reducing the cash portion of the Payment that constitutes “deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A) subject to Section 409A, with the reductions to be applied first to the portion of the Payment scheduled for the latest distribution date, and then applied to distributions scheduled for progressively earlier distribution dates, to the extent necessary to decrease the Payment as required under this Section 8; and

(iii)next, if after the reduction described in Section 8(c)(ii), additional reductions are required, then, by reducing the non-cash portion of the Payment that constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) subject to Section 409A, with the reductions to be applied first to the portion of the Payment scheduled for the latest distribution date, and then applied to distributions scheduled for progressively earlier distribution dates, to the extent necessary to decrease the Payment as required under this Section 8.

(d)The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Section 8:

(i)“Net After-Tax Reduced Payments” shall mean the total amount of all Payments that the Executive would retain, on a Net After-Tax Basis, in the event that the Payments payable under this Agreement are reduced pursuant to Section 8(a).

(ii)“Net After-Tax Unreduced Payments” shall mean the total amount of all Payments that the Executive would retain, on a Net After-Tax Basis, in the event that the Payments payable under this Agreement are not reduced pursuant to Section 8(a).

(iii)“Net After-Tax Basis” shall mean, with respect to the Payments, either with or without reduction under Section 8(a) (as applicable), the amount that would be retained by the Executive from such Payments after the payment of all Taxes.

(e)All determinations required to be made under this Section 8 and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm as may be agreed by the Companyand the Executive (the “Accounting Firm”); provided, that the Accounting Firm’s determination shall be made based

15

upon “substantial authority” within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code. The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations to both the Company and the Executive within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax, (i) no portion of the Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which the Executive shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to constitute a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code shall be taken into account, (ii) no portion of the Payments shall be taken into account which, in the written opinion of the Accounting Firm, does not constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of the Accounting Firm, constitutes “reasonable compensation” for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such reasonable compensation, and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Payments shall be determined by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the principles of Section 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.

Section 9.Delayed Distribution under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Executive’s Involuntary Termination (or on the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service by reason of Disability), the Section 409A Payments which are payable upon Separation from Service shall be delayed to the extent necessary in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and such delayed payments or benefits shall be paid or distributed to the Executive during the thirty (30) day period commencing on the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six (6) month period measured from the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service or (b) the date of the Executive’s death. Upon the expiration of the applicable six (6) month period, all payments deferred pursuant to this Section 9 (excluding in-kind benefits) shall be paid in a lump sum payment to the Executive, plus interest thereon from the date of the Executive’s Involuntary Termination through the payment date at an annual rate equal to Moody’s Rate. The “Moody’s Rate” shall mean the average of the daily Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield Average – Monthly Average Corporates as published by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (or any successor) for the month next preceding the Date of Termination. Any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.

Section 10.Nonexclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any benefit, plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company and for which the Executive may qualify (except with respect to any benefit to which the Executive has waived his rights in writing), including, without limitation, any and all indemnification arrangements in favor of the Executive (whether under agreements or under the Company’s charter documents or otherwise), and insurance policies

16

covering the Executive, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any other contract or agreement entered into after the Effective Date with the Company. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any benefit, plan, policy, practice or program of, or any contract or agreement entered into with, the Company shall be payable in accordance with such benefit, plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. At all times during the  Executive’s employment with the Company and thereafter, the Company shall provide (to the extent permissible under applicable law) the  Executive with indemnification and D&O insurance insuring the  Executive against insurable events which occur or have occurred while the  Executive was a director or executive officer of the Company, that with respect to such insurance is on terms and conditions that, to the extent reasonably practical, are at least as generous as that then currently provided to any other current or former director or executive officer of the Company or any Affiliate.  Such indemnification and D&O insurance shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(10).

Section 11.Clawbacks. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Sempra Energy determines, in its good faith judgment, that if the Executive is required to forfeit or to make any repayment of any compensation or benefit(s) to the Company under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any other law or pursuant to any formal policy of Sempra Energy, such forfeiture or repayment shall not constitute Good Reason.

Section 12.Full Settlement; Mitigation. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others, provided that nothing herein shall preclude the Company from separately pursuing recovery from the Executive based on any such claim. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts (including amounts for damages for breach) payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment.

Section 13.Dispute Resolution.

(a)If any dispute arises between the Executive and Sempra Energy or any of its Affiliates, including, but not limited to, disputes relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any action relating to or arising out of the Executive’s employment or its termination, and/or any disputes regarding the interpretation, enforceability, or validity of this Agreement (“Arbitrable Dispute”), the Executive and Sempra Energy waive the right to resolve the dispute through litigation in a judicial forum and agree to resolve the Arbitrable Dispute through final and binding arbitration, except as prohibited by law. Arbitration shall be the exclusive remedy for any Arbitrable Dispute.

(b)As to any Arbitrable Dispute, Sempra Energy and the Executive waive any right to a jury trial or a court bench trial. The Company and the Executive also waive the right to

17

bring, maintain, or participate in any class, collective, or representative proceeding, whether in arbitration or otherwise.  Further, Arbitrable Disputes must be brought in the individual capacity of the party asserting the claim, and cannot be maintained on a class, collective, or representative basis.

(c)Arbitration shall take place at the office of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”) (or, if the Executive is employed outside of California, the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”)) nearest to the location where the Executive last worked for the Company. Except to the extent it conflicts with the rules and procedures set forth in this Agreement, arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the JAMS Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures (if the Executive is employed outside of California, the AAA Employment Arbitration Rules & Mediation Procedures), copies of which are attached for reference and available at www.jamsadr.com; tel: 800.352.5267 and www.adr.org; tel: 800.778.7879, before a single experienced, neutral employment arbitrator selected in accordance with those rules.

(d)Sempra Energy will be responsible for paying any filing fee and the fees and costs of the arbitrator.  Each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that authorizes an award of attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party, or if there is a written agreement providing for attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party, applying the same standards a court would apply under the law applicable to the claim.

(e)The arbitrator shall apply the Federal Rules of Evidence, shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss or a motion for summary judgment by any party, and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator does not have the authority to consider, certify, or hear an arbitration as a class action, collective action, or any other type of representative action. Sempra Energy and the Executive recognize that this Agreement arises out of or concerns interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the arbitration and shall govern the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement or any arbitration award.

(f)EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, EXECUTIVE IS WAIVING ANY RIGHT HE MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 14.Executive’s Covenants.

(a)Confidentiality. The Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment with the Company, he has acquired non-public privileged or confidential information and trade secrets concerning the operations, future plans and methods of doing business (“Proprietary Information”) of Sempra Energy and its Affiliates; and the Executive agrees that it would be extremely damaging to Sempra Energy and its Affiliates if such Proprietary Information were disclosed to a competitor of Sempra Energy and its Affiliates or to any other person or corporation. The Executive understands and agrees that all Proprietary Information has been divulged to the Executive in confidence and further understands and agrees to keep all Proprietary Information secret and confidential (except for such information which is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach by the Executive of this provision

18

or information the Executive is required by any governmental, administrative or court order to disclose) without limitation in time. In view of the nature of the Executive’s employment and the Proprietary Information the Executive has acquired during the course of such employment, the Executive likewise agrees that Sempra Energy and its Affiliates would be irreparably harmed by any disclosure of Proprietary Information in violation of the terms of this Section 14(a) and that Sempra Energy and its Affiliates shall therefore be entitled to preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief prohibiting the Executive from engaging in any activity or threatened activity in violation of the terms of this Section 14(a) and to any other relief available to them. Inquiries regarding whether specific information constitutes Proprietary Information shall be directed to the Company’s Senior Vice President, Public Policy (or, if such position is vacant, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer); provided, that the Company shall not unreasonably classify information as Proprietary Information.

(b)Governmental Reporting. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to interfere with or discourage the Executive’s good faith disclosure related to a suspected violation of federal or state law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal or state law or regulation. The Executive cannot and will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for disclosing otherwise protected trade secrets and/or confidential or proprietary information so long as the disclosure is made in (i) confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, so long as such filing is made under seal. The Company will not retaliate against the Executive in any way for a disclosure made pursuant to this Section 14(b). Further, in the event the Executive makes such a disclosure, and files a lawsuit against the Company alleging that the Company retaliated against the Executive because of the disclosure, the Executive may disclose the relevant trade secret or confidential information to the Executive’s attorney, and may use the same in the court proceeding only if (X) the Executive ensures that any court filing that includes the trade secret or confidential information at issue is made under seal; and (Y) the Executive does not otherwise disclose the trade secret or confidential information except as required by court order.

(c)Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Executive recognizes that he possesses and will possess confidential information about other employees of Sempra Energy and its Affiliates relating to their education, experience, skills, abilities, compensation and benefits, and inter-personal relationships with customers of Sempra Energy and its Affiliates. The Executive recognizes that the information he possesses and will possess about these other employees is not generally known, is of substantial value to Sempra Energy and its Affiliates in developing their business and in securing and retaining customers, and has been and will be acquired by him because of his business position with Sempra Energy and its Affiliates. The Executive agrees that at all times during the Executive’s employment with the Company and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, he will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or recruit any employee of the Company or its Affiliates for the purpose of being employed by him or by any competitor of the Company or its Affiliates on whose behalf he is acting as an agent, representative or employee and that he will not convey any such confidential information or

19

trade secrets about other employees of Sempra Energy and its Affiliates to any other person; provided, however, that it shall not constitute a solicitation or recruitment of employment in violation of this Section 14(c) to discuss employment opportunities with any employee of the Company or its Affiliates who has either first contacted the Executive or regarding whose employment the Executive has discussed with and received the written approval of the Company’s most senior Vice President, Human Resources (or, if such position is vacant, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer), prior to making such solicitation or recruitment. In view of the nature of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive likewise agrees that Sempra Energy and its Affiliates would be irreparably harmed by any solicitation or recruitment in violation of the terms of this Section 14(c) and that Sempra Energy and its Affiliates shall therefore be entitled to preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief prohibiting the Executive from engaging in any activity or threatened activity in violation of the terms of this Section 14(c) and to any other relief available to them.

(d)Survival of Provisions. The obligations contained in Section 14(a), (b) and (c) above shall survive the termination of the Executive’s employment within the Company and shall be fully enforceable thereafter. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in Section 14(a) or (c) above is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under the laws of that state, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law of that state.

(e)Release; Consulting Payment. In the event of the Executive’s Involuntary Termination, if the Executive (i) reconfirms and agrees to abide by the covenants described in Section 14(a) and (c) above, (ii) executes the Release within fifty (50) days after the date of Involuntary Termination and does not revoke such Release in accordance with the terms thereof, and (iii) agrees to provide the consulting services described in Section 14(f) below, then in consideration for such covenants and consulting services, the Company shall pay the Executive, in one (1) cash lump sum, an amount (the “Consulting Payment”) in cash equal to one-half (0.5) times the sum of (X) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary as in effect on the Date of Termination, plus (Y) the greater of the Executive’s Average Annual Bonus or the Executive’s Target Bonus on the Date of Termination. Except as provided in this Section 14(e), the Consulting Payment shall be paid on such date as is determined by the Company within the ten (10) day period commencing on the sixtieth (60th) day after the date of the Executive’s Involuntary Termination; provided, however, that if the Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Executive’s Involuntary Termination, the Consulting Payment shall be paid as provided in Section 9 hereof to the extent required.

(f)Consulting. If the Executive agrees to the provisions of Section 14(e) above, then the Executive shall have the obligation to provide consulting services to the Company as an independent contractor, commencing on the Date of Termination and ending on the first (1st) anniversary of the Date of Termination (the “Consulting Period”). The Executive shall hold himself available at reasonable times and on reasonable notice to render such consulting services as may be so assigned to him by the Board or the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer; provided, however, that unless the parties otherwise agree, the consulting

20

services rendered by the Executive during the Consulting Period shall not exceed twenty (20) hours each month; and, provided, further, that the consulting services rendered by the Executive during the Consulting Period shall in no event exceed twenty percent (20%) of the average level of services performed by the Executive for the Company over the thirty-six (36) month period immediately preceding the Executive’s Separation from Service (or the full period of services to the Company, if the Executive has been providing services to the Company for less than thirty-six (36) months). The Company agrees to use its best efforts during the Consulting Period to secure the benefit of the Executive’s consulting services so as to minimize the interference with the Executive’s other activities, including requiring the performance of consulting services at the Company’s offices only when such services may not be reasonably performed off-site by the Executive.

Section 15.Legal Fees.

(a)Reimbursement of Legal Fees. Subject to Section 15(b), in the event of the Executive’s Separation from Service either (i) prior to a Change in Control, or (ii) on or within two (2) years following a Change in Control, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for all legal fees and expenses (including but not limited to fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration) incurred by the Executive in disputing any issue arising under this Agreement relating to the Executive’s Separation from Service or in seeking to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Agreement.

(b)Requirements for Reimbursement. The Company shall reimburse the Executive’s legal fees and expenses pursuant to Section 15(a) above only to the extent the arbitrator or court determines the following: (i) the Executive disputed such issue, or sought to obtain or enforce such benefit or right, in good faith, (ii) the Executive had a reasonable basis for such claim, and (iii) in the case of Section 15(a)(i) above, the Executive is the prevailing party. In addition, the Company shall reimburse such legal fees and expenses, only if such legal fees and expenses are incurred during the twenty (20) year period beginning on the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service. The legal fees and expenses paid to the Executive for any taxable year of the Executive shall not affect the legal fees and expenses paid to the Executive for any other taxable year of the Executive. The legal fees and expenses shall be paid to the Executive on or before the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the fees or expenses are determined to be payable pursuant to this Agreement. The Executive’s right to reimbursement of legal fees and expenses shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. Such right to reimbursement of legal fees and expenses shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv).

Section 16.Successors.

(a)Assignment by the Executive. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of Sempra Energy shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives.

21

(b)Successors and Assigns of Sempra Energy. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Sempra Energy and its successors and assigns. Sempra Energy may not assign this Agreement to any person or entity (except for a successor described in Section 16(c), (d) or (e) below) without the Executive’s written consent.

(c)Assumption. Sempra Energy shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of Sempra Energy to assume expressly and agree to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities of this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Sempra Energy would have been required to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement if no such succession had taken place, and Sempra Energy shall have no further obligations and liabilities under this Agreement. Upon such assumption, references to Sempra Energy in this Agreement shall be replaced with references to such successor.

(d)Sale of Subsidiary. In the event that (i) the Executive is employed by a direct or indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy that is a member of the Sempra Energy Control Group, (ii) Sempra Energy, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, sells or otherwise disposes of such subsidiary, and (iii) such subsidiary ceases to be a member of the Sempra Energy Control Group, then if, on the date such subsidiary ceases to be a member of the Sempra Energy Control Group, the Executive continues in employment with such subsidiary and the Executive does not have a Separation from Service, Sempra Energy shall require such subsidiary or any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase merger, consolidation or otherwise) to such subsidiary, or the parent thereof, to assume expressly and agree to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Sempra Energy would have been required to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement, if such subsidiary had not ceased to be part of the Sempra Energy Control Group, and, upon such assumption, Sempra Energy shall have no further obligations and liabilities under the Agreement. Upon such assumption, references to Sempra Energy in this Agreement shall be replaced with references to such subsidiary, or such successor or parent thereof, assuming this Agreement, and subsection (b) of the definition of “Cause” and subsection (b) of the definition of “Good Reason” shall apply thereafter, as if a Change in Control had occurred on the date of such cessation.

(e)Sale of Assets of Subsidiary. In the event that (i) the Executive is employed by a direct or indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy, and (ii) such subsidiary sells or otherwise disposes of substantial assets of such subsidiary to an unrelated service recipient, as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(f)(2)(ii) (the “Asset Purchaser”), in a transaction described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(4) (an “Asset Sale”), then if, on the date of such Asset Sale, the Executive becomes employed by the Asset Purchaser, Sempra Energy and the Asset Purchaser may specify, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(4), that the Executive shall not be treated as having a Separation from Service, and in such event, Sempra Energy may require such Asset Purchaser, or the parent thereof, to assume expressly and agree to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company

22

would have been required to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement, if the Asset Sale had not taken place, and, upon such assumption, Sempra Energy shall have no further obligations and liabilities under the Agreement. Upon such assumption, references to Sempra Energy in this Agreement shall be replaced with references to the Asset Purchaser or the parent thereof, as applicable, and subsection (b) of the definition of “Cause” and subsection (b) of the definition of “Good Reason” shall apply thereafter, as if a Change in Control had occurred on the date of the Asset Sale.

Section 17.Administration Prior to Change in Control. Prior to a Change in Control, the Compensation Committee shall have full and complete authority to construe and interpret the provisions of this Agreement, to determine an individual’s entitlement to benefits under this Agreement, to make in its sole and absolute discretion all determinations contemplated under this Agreement, to investigate and make factual determinations necessary or advisable to administer or implement this Agreement, and to adopt such rules and procedures as it deems necessary or advisable for the administration or implementation of this Agreement. All determinations made under this Agreement by the Compensation Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all interested persons. Prior to a Change in Control, the Compensation Committee may delegate responsibilities for the operation and administration of this Agreement to one or more officers or employees of the Company. The provisions of this Section 17 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.

Section 18.Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. All payments and benefits payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Section 409A Payments) are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Certain payments and benefits payable under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the applicable requirements of, and exemptions from, Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. To the extent the payments and benefits under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A of the Code, this Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and administered in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. If the Company and the Executive determine that any compensation, benefits or other payments that are payable under this Agreement and intended to comply with Section 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code do not comply with Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and other applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and any applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, the Company and the Executive agree to amend this Agreement, or take such other actions as the Company and the Executive deem reasonably necessary or appropriate, to cause such compensation, benefits and other payments to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and other applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, while providing compensation, benefits and other payments that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than the compensation, benefits and other payments provided under this Agreement. In the case of any compensation, benefits or other payments that are payable under this Agreement and intended to comply with

23

Section 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code, if any provision of the Agreement would cause such compensation, benefits or other payments to fail to so comply, such provision shall not be effective and shall be null and void with respect to such compensation, benefits or other payments to the extent such provision would cause a failure to comply, and such provision shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

(f)Entire Agreement; Exclusive Benefit; Supersession of Prior Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the Executive, the Company or any predecessor or subsidiary thereof with respect to any severance or termination pay.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company gives such written notice to the Executive (i) at a time when Sempra Energy is a party to an agreement that, if consummated, would constitute a Change in Control or (ii) less than two (2) years after a Change in Control, the term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended until the later of (X) the date that is one (1) year after the anniversary of the Effective Date that follows such written notice or (Y) the second (2nd) anniversary of the Change in Control Date.

(k)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(a)    The words “Releasee” or “Releasees” shall refer to you and to the Company and each of the Company’s owners, stockholders, predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, attorneys, advisors, parent companies, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates (and agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, attorneys and advisors of such parent companies, divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates) and all persons acting by, through, under or in concert with any of them.

(b)    The words “Claim” or “Claims” shall refer to any charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of

action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred) of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which you or the Company now, in the past or, in the future may have, own or hold against any of the Releasees; provided, however, that the word “Claim” or “Claims” shall not refer to any charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred) arising under [identify severance, employee benefits, stock option, indemnification and D&O and other agreements containing duties, rights obligations etc. of either party that are to remain operative]. Claims released pursuant to this Agreement by you and the Company include, but are not limited to, rights arising out of alleged violations of any contracts, express or implied, any tort, claim, any claim that you failed to perform or negligently performed or breached your duties during employment at the Company, any legal restrictions on the Company’s right to terminate employment relationships; and any federal, state or other governmental statute, regulation, or ordinance, governing the employment relationship including, without limitation, all state and federal laws and regulations prohibiting discrimination based on protected categories, and all state and federal laws and regulations prohibiting retaliation against employees for engaging in protected activity or legal off-duty conduct. This release does not extend to claims for workers’ compensation or other claims which by law may not be waived or released by this Agreement.

THREE: You and the Company expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits afforded by any statute (including but not limited to Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California and analogous laws of other states) which limits the effect of a release with respect to unknown claims. You and the Company do so understanding and acknowledging the significance of the release of unknown claims and the waiver of statutory protection against a release of unknown claims (including but not limited to Section 1542). Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California states as follows:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542 or of any similar statute, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Releasees, you and the Company expressly acknowledge that this Agreement is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all Claims which are known and all Claims which you or the Company do not know or suspect to exist in your or the Company’s favor at the time of execution of this Agreement and that this Agreement contemplates the extinguishment of all such Claims.

FOUR: The parties acknowledge that they might hereafter discover facts different from, or in addition to, those they now know or believe to be true with respect to a Claim or Claims released herein, and they expressly agree to assume the risk of possible discovery of

A-2

additional or different facts, and agree that this Agreement shall be and remain effective, in all respects, regardless of such additional or different discovered facts.

FIVE: As a further material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement, you hereby agree to indemnify and hold each of the Releasees harmless from all loss, costs, damages, or expenses, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees incurred by the Releasees, arising out of any breach of this Agreement by you or the fact that any representation made in this Agreement by you was false when made.

As a further material inducement to you to enter into this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold each of the Releasees harmless from all loss, costs, damages, or expenses, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees incurred by the Releasees, arising out of any breach of this Agreement by it or the fact that any representation made in this Agreement by it was knowingly false when made.

SIX: You and the Company represent and acknowledge that in executing this Agreement, neither is relying upon any representation or statement not set forth in this Agreement or the Severance Agreement.

SEVEN:

    (a)    This Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an admission by the Company that it has acted wrongfully with respect to you or any other person, or that you have any rights whatsoever against the Company, and the Company specifically disclaims any liability to or wrongful acts against you or any other person, on the part of itself, its employees or its agents. This Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an admission by you that you have acted wrongfully with respect to the Company, or that you failed to perform your duties or negligently performed or breached your duties, or that the Company had good cause to terminate your employment.

    (b)    If you are a party or are threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that you were an officer or director of the Company, the Company shall indemnify you against any expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees; provided,that counsel has been approved by the Company prior to retention, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually or reasonably incurred by you in connection with that proceeding; provided, further,that you acted in good faith and in a manner you reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Company. The limitations of Section 317 of the Corporations Code of the State of California shall apply to this assurance of indemnification.

    (c)    You agree to cooperate with the Company and its designated attorneys, representatives and agents in connection with any actual or threatened judicial, administrative or other legal or equitable proceeding in which the Company is or may become involved. Upon reasonable notice, you agree to meet with and provide to the Company or its designated attorneys, representatives or agents all information and knowledge you have relating

A-3

to the subject matter of any such proceeding. The Company agrees to reimburse you for any reasonable costs you incur in providing such cooperation.

EIGHT: This Agreement is entered into in California and shall be governed by substantive California law, except as provided in this section. If any dispute arises between you and the Company, including but not limited to, disputes relating to this Agreement, or if you prosecute a claim you purported to release by means of this Agreement (“Arbitrable Dispute”), you and the Company agree to resolve that Arbitrable Dispute through final and binding arbitration under this section. You also agree to arbitrate any Arbitrable Dispute which also involves any other released party who offers or agrees to arbitrate the dispute under this section. Your agreement to arbitrate applies, for example, to disputes about the validity, interpretation, or effect of this Agreement or alleged violations of it, claims of discrimination under federal or state law, or other statutory violation claims.

As to any Arbitrable Dispute, you and the Company waive any right to a jury trial or a court bench trial. You and the Company also waive the right to bring, maintain, or participate in any class, collective, or representative proceeding, whether in arbitration or otherwise. Further, Arbitrable Disputes must be brought in the individual capacity of the party asserting the claim, and cannot be maintained on a class, collective, or representative basis.

Arbitration shall take place in San Diego, California under the employment dispute resolution rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service, (or, if you are employed outside of California at the time of the termination of your employment, at the nearest location of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and in accordance with the AAA rules), before an experienced employment arbitrator selected in accordance with those rules. The arbitrator may not modify or change this Agreement in any way. The Company will be responsible for paying any filing fee and the fees and costs of the Arbitrator; provided, however, that if you are the party initiating the claim, you will contribute an amount equal to the filing fee to initiate a claim in the court of general jurisdiction in the state in which you are employed by the Company. Each party shall pay for its own costs and attorneys’ fees, if any. However if any party prevails on a statutory claim which affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs, or if there is a written agreement providing for attorneys’ fees and/or costs, the Arbitrator may award reasonable attorney’s fees and/or costs to the prevailing party, applying the same standards a court would apply under the law applicable to the claim. The Arbitrator shall apply the Federal Rules of Evidence and shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss or a motion for summary judgment by any party and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the arbitration and shall govern the interpretation or enforcement of this section or any arbitration award. The arbitrator will not have the authority to consider, certify, or hear an arbitration as a class action, collective action, or any other type of representative action.

To the extent that the Federal Arbitration Act is inapplicable, California law pertaining to arbitration agreements shall apply. Arbitration in this manner shall be the exclusive remedy for any Arbitrable Dispute. Except as prohibited by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, should you or the Company attempt to resolve an

A-4

Arbitrable Dispute by any method other than arbitration pursuant to this section, the responding party will be entitled to recover from the initiating party all damages, expenses, and attorneys’ fees incurred as a result of this breach. This Section EIGHT supersedes any existing arbitration agreement between the Company and me as to any Arbitrable Dispute. Notwithstanding anything in this Section EIGHT to the contrary, a claim for benefits under an Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, covered plan shall not be an Arbitrable Dispute.

NINE: Both you and the Company understand that this Agreement is final and binding eight (8) days after its execution and return. Should you nevertheless attempt to challenge the enforceability of this Agreement as provided in Section EIGHT or, in violation of that section, through litigation, as a further limitation on any right to make such a challenge, you shall initially tender to the Company, by certified check delivered to the Company, all monies received pursuant to Section 4 or 5 of the Severance Pay Agreement, as applicable, plus interest, and invite the Company to retain such monies and agree with you to cancel this Agreement and void the Company’s obligations under the Severance Pay Agreement. In the event the Company accepts this offer, the Company shall retain such monies and this Agreement shall be canceled and the Company shall have no obligation under Section 14(e) of the Severance Pay Agreement. In the event the Company does not accept such offer, the Company shall so notify you and shall place such monies in an interest-bearing escrow account pending resolution of the dispute between you and the Company as to whether or not this Agreement and the Company’s obligations under the Severance Pay Agreement shall be set aside and/or otherwise rendered voidable or unenforceable. Additionally, any consulting agreement then in effect between you and the Company shall be immediately rescinded with no requirement of notice.

TEN: Any notices required to be given under this Agreement shall be delivered either personally or by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective parties as follows:

To Company:    [TO COME]

    Attn: [TO COME]

To You:    ______________________

            ______________________

            ______________________

ELEVEN: You understand and acknowledge that you have been given a period of forty-five (45) days to review and consider this Agreement (as well as certain data on other persons eligible for similar benefits, if any) before signing it and may use as much of this forty-five (45) day period as you wish prior to signing. You are encouraged, at your personal expense, to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement. You understand and acknowledge that whether or not you do so is your decision. You may revoke this Agreement within seven (7) days of signing it. If you wish to revoke, the Company’s Vice President, Human Resources must receive written notice from you no later than the close of business on the seventh (7th) day after you have signed the Agreement. If revoked, this Agreement shall not be effective and

A-5

enforceable, and you will not receive payments or benefits under Section 4 or 5 of the Severance Pay Agreement, as applicable.

TWELVE: This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersedes any and all other agreements (except the Severance Pay Agreement) with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether written or oral, between you and the Company. All modifications and amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the parties.

THIRTEEN: Each party agrees, without further consideration, to sign or cause to be signed, and to deliver to the other party, any other documents and to take any other action as may be necessary to fulfill the obligations under this Agreement.

FOURTEEN: If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or application; and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable.

FIFTEEN: This Agreement may be executed in counterparts.

I have read the foregoing General Release, and I accept and agree to the provisions it contains and hereby execute it voluntarily and with full understanding of its consequences. I am aware it includes a release of all known or unknown claims.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND OTHER FINANCIAL DATA

GENERAL INFORMATION AND OTHER FINANCIAL DATA

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Sempra Energy

Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Sempra Energy, a California-based energy-services holding company, and its consolidated subsidiaries and VIEs. Sempra Global is the holding company for most of our subsidiaries that are not subject to California or Texas utility regulation. Sempra Energy’s businesses were managed within six separate reportable segments until April 2019 and five separate reportable segments thereafter, which we discuss in Note 12. All references in these Notes to our 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 was the primary beneficiary until August 23, 2019, at which time SDG&E deconsolidated the VIE. 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.

In this report, we refer to SDG&E and SoCalGas collectively as the California Utilities.

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,” “us,” “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 (until deconsolidation of Otay Mesa VIE in August 2019); 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 and applicable rules of the SEC. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year or for any other period. We evaluated events and transactions that occurred after September 30, 2020 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, 2019 balance sheet information in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been derived from our audited 2019 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 and the impact of the adoption of new accounting standards on those policies in Note 2 below. We follow the same accounting policies for interim period reporting purposes.

You should read the information in this report in conjunction with the Annual Report.

Discontinued Operations

In January 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses based on our strategic focus on North America. We determined that these businesses, which previously constituted the Sempra South American Utilities segment, and certain activities associated with these businesses, met the held-for-sale criteria. These businesses are presented as discontinued operations, which we discuss further in Note 5, as the sales represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. We completed the sales in the second quarter of 2020. Our discussions in the Notes below relate only to our continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

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 revenue recognition and the effects of regulation at our utilities in Notes 3 and 4 below and in Notes 1, 3 and 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Our Sempra Texas Utilities segment is comprised of our equity method investments in holding companies that own interests in regulated electric transmission and distribution utilities in Texas.

Our Sempra Mexico segment includes the operating companies of our subsidiary, IEnova, as well as certain holding companies and risk management activity. Certain business activities at IEnova are regulated by the CRE and meet the regulatory accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP. Pipeline projects under construction at IEnova that meet the regulatory accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP record the impact of AFUDC related to equity. We discuss AFUDC below and in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the sum of such amounts reported on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We provide information about the nature of restricted cash in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

RECONCILIATION OF CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH
(Dollars in millions)
	September 30,		December 31,
	2020		2019
Sempra Energy Consolidated:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	3,515	$	108
Restricted cash, current	28		31
Restricted cash, noncurrent	3		3
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in discontinued operations	—		75
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows	$	3,546	$	217

In the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the ending cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance in discontinued operations of $4.6 billion is considered to be cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for continuing operations following the sales of the South American businesses.

CREDIT LOSSES

We are exposed to credit losses from financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other accounts receivable and amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates. We are also exposed to credit losses from off-balance sheet arrangements through our guarantees of Cameron LNG JV’s debt.

We regularly monitor and evaluate credit losses and record allowances for expected credit losses, if necessary, for trade and other accounts receivable using a combination of factors, including past-due status based on contractual terms, trends in write-offs, the age of the receivable, historical and industry trends, counterparty creditworthiness, economic conditions and specific events, such as bankruptcies. We write off financial assets measured at amortized cost in the period in which we determine they are not recoverable. We record recoveries of amounts previously written off when it is known that they will be recovered.

In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the California Utilities have implemented certain measures to assist customers, including suspending service disconnections due to nonpayment for residential and small business customers, waiving late payment fees for business customers, and offering flexible payment plans for customers experiencing difficulty paying their electric or gas bills. As we discuss in Note 4, the CPUC authorized each of the California Utilities to establish a CPPMA to track and request recovery of incremental costs, including uncollectible expenses, associated with complying with residential and small business customer protection measures implemented by the CPUC related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In June 2020, the CPUC issued a decision in a separate proceeding addressing service disconnections that, among other things, allows each of the California Utilities to establish a two-way balancing account to record the uncollectible expenses associated with residential customers’ inability to pay their electric or gas bills. This decision also directs the California Utilities to establish an AMP that provides successfully participating, income-qualified residential customers with relief from outstanding utility bill amounts. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion.

The California Utilities have recorded increases in their allowances for expected credit losses as of September 30, 2020 primarily related to expected forgiveness of outstanding utility bill amounts for residential customers eligible under the AMP. Our businesses will continue to monitor macroeconomic factors and customer payment patterns when evaluating their allowances for credit losses in future reporting periods, which may increase significantly due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors.

We provide below allowances and changes in allowances for credit losses for trade and other accounts receivable, excluding allowances related to amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates and off-balance sheet arrangements, which we discuss separately below the table.

TRADE AND OTHER ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE – ALLOWANCES FOR CREDIT LOSSES
(Dollars in millions)
	Sempra Energy Consolidated(1)		SDG&E(2)		SoCalGas(3)
Allowances for credit losses at December 31, 2019	$	29	$	14	$	15

Provisions for expected credit losses	84		44		40
Write-offs	(11)		(6)		(5)
Allowances for credit losses at September 30, 2020	$	103	$	52	$	50

(1)     Balance at September 30, 2020 includes $75 million and $28 million in Accounts Receivable – Trade, Net and Accounts Receivable – Other, Net, respectively.

(2)    Balance at September 30, 2020 includes $37 million and $15 million in Accounts Receivable – Trade, Net and Accounts Receivable – Other, Net, respectively.

(3)    Balance at September 30, 2020 includes $37 million and $13 million in Accounts Receivable – Trade, Net and Accounts Receivable – Other, Net, respectively.

For amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates and off-balance sheet arrangements, on a quarterly basis, we evaluate credit losses and record allowances for expected credit losses, if necessary, based on credit quality indicators such as external credit ratings, published default rate studies, the maturity date of the instrument and past delinquencies. However, we do not record allowances for expected credit losses related to accrued interest receivable on loans due from unconsolidated affiliates because we write off such amounts, if any, through a reversal of interest income in the period we determine such amounts are uncollectible. In the absence of external credit ratings, we may utilize an internally developed credit rating based on our analysis of a counterparty’s financial statements to determine our expected credit losses.

As we discuss below in “Transactions with Affiliates,” we have loans due from unconsolidated affiliates with varying tenors, interest rates and currencies. We provide below the changes in allowances for credit losses for loans and other amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates.

AMOUNTS DUE FROM UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES – ALLOWANCES FOR CREDIT LOSSES
(Dollars in millions)
	Sempra Energy Consolidated(1)
Allowances for credit losses at December 31, 2019	$	—
Allowance established upon adoption of ASU 2016-13	6
Reduction to expected credit losses	(3)
Allowances for credit losses at September 30, 2020	$	3

(1)    Balance at September 30, 2020 includes negligible amounts and $3 million in Due from Unconsolidated Affiliates – Current and Due from Unconsolidated Affiliates – Noncurrent, respectively.

As we discuss in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, Sempra Energy has provided guarantees for a maximum aggregate amount of $4.0 billion associated with Cameron LNG JV’s debt obligations. We established a liability for credit losses of $6 million for this off-balance sheet arrangement upon adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 and we subsequently reduced this liability by $3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 through a reduction to credit loss expense, which is included in O&M on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. At September 30, 2020, expected credit losses of $3 million are included in Other Current Liabilities on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk of loss that would be incurred as a result of nonperformance by our counterparties on their contractual obligations. We have policies governing the management of credit risk that are administered by the respective credit departments at each of our segments and overseen by their separate risk management committees.

This oversight includes calculating current and potential credit risk on a regular basis and monitoring actual balances in comparison to approved limits. We establish credit limits based on risk and return considerations under terms customarily available in the industry. We avoid concentration of counterparties whenever possible, and we believe our credit policies significantly reduce overall credit risk. These policies include an evaluation of:

▪prospective counterparties’ financial condition (including credit ratings)

▪collateral requirements

▪the use of standardized agreements that allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures associated with a single counterparty

▪downgrade triggers

We believe that we have provided adequate reserves for counterparty nonperformance in our allowances for credit losses.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, four customers each represented 10% or more of Sempra Mexico’s revenues (including intercompany transactions with affiliates consolidated by Sempra Energy). Additionally, for the same period, certain of our unconsolidated equity method investees (Oncor Holdings, Cameron LNG JV and IMG JV) had customers that each represented 10% or more of their respective revenues.

When our development projects become operational, we rely significantly on the ability of suppliers to perform under long-term agreements and on our ability to enforce contract terms in the event of nonperformance. Also, the factors that we consider in evaluating a development project include negotiating customer and supplier agreements and, therefore, we rely on these agreements for future performance. We also may condition our decision to go forward on development projects on first obtaining these customer and supplier agreements.

WILDFIRE FUND

On July 12, 2019, the Wildfire Legislation was signed into law to address certain issues related to catastrophic wildfires in the State of California and their impact on electric IOUs. We discuss the Wildfire Legislation further in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

In a complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in July 2019, plaintiffs seek to invalidate AB 1054, which established the Wildfire Fund, based on allegations that the legislation violates federal law. That court dismissed the complaint and the plaintiffs have petitioned the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to review the dismissal.

In June 2020, the CPUC approved SDG&E’s 2020 wildfire mitigation plan, which will be effective until the CPUC approves a new plan. In addition, on September 14, 2020, SDG&E received its 2020 safety certification from the Wildfire Safety Division of the CPUC. The certificate is valid for 12 months from the issue date.

In July 2020, PG&E received bankruptcy court approval to participate in the Wildfire Fund and has made its required contributions to the Wildfire Fund. As a result of PG&E’s participation, the Wildfire Fund will be funded up to $21 billion.

Wildfire Fund Asset and Obligation

In the third quarter of 2019, SDG&E recorded both a Wildfire Fund asset and a related obligation of $451.5 million for its commitment to make shareholder contributions to the Wildfire Fund, measured at present value as of July 25, 2019 (the date by which both Edison and SDG&E opted to contribute to the Wildfire Fund). SDG&E is amortizing the Wildfire Fund asset on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of benefit, as adjusted for utilization by the participating IOUs. The estimated period of benefit of the Wildfire Fund asset is 15 years. SDG&E expects to make annual shareholder contributions of $12.9 million through December 31, 2028. SDG&E accretes the present value of the Wildfire Fund obligation until the liability is settled.

SDG&E periodically evaluates the estimated period of benefit of the Wildfire Fund asset based on actual experience and changes in assumptions. SDG&E may recognize a reduction of its Wildfire Fund asset and record a charge against earnings in the period when there is a reduction of the available coverage due to recoverable claims from any of the participating IOUs. Wildfire claims that are recoverable from the Wildfire Fund, net of anticipated or actual reimbursement to the Wildfire Fund by the responsible IOU, would decrease the Wildfire Fund asset and remaining available coverage. Although California has experienced some of the largest wildfires in its history in 2020 (measured by acres burned), including fires in each participating IOU’s service territory, SDG&E is not aware of any claims made by any participating IOU requiring a reduction of the Wildfire Fund asset.

The following table summarizes the location of balances related to the Wildfire Fund on Sempra Energy’s and SDG&E’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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 at equity method investments that have not commenced planned principal operations.

The table below summarizes capitalized interest and AFUDC.

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 the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE.

We will continue to evaluate our VIEs for any changes that may impact our determination of whether an entity is a VIE and if we are the primary beneficiary.

SDG&E

SDG&E’s power procurement is subject to reliability requirements that may require SDG&E to enter into various PPAs that 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.

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 on 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 it considers 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 SDG&E determines that it is the primary beneficiary, SDG&E and Sempra Energy consolidate the entity that owns the facility as a VIE.

In addition to tolling agreements, other variable interests involve various elements of fuel and power costs, and other components of cash flows 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, including the operation and maintenance activities of the generating facility, that most significantly impact the economic performance of the other VIEs. 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.

SDG&E determined that none of its contracts resulted in SDG&E being the primary beneficiary of a VIE at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities that relate to SDG&E’s involvement with VIEs where SDG&E is not the primary beneficiary are included in PP&E and finance lease liabilities with balances of $1,242 million and $1,255 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. SDG&E recovers costs incurred on PPAs, tolling agreements and other variable interests through CPUC-approved long-term power procurement plans. SDG&E has no residual interest in the respective entities and has not provided or guaranteed any debt or equity support, liquidity arrangements, performance guarantees or other commitments associated with these contracts other than the purchase commitments described in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. As a result, SDG&E’s potential exposure to loss from its variable interest in these VIEs is not significant.

Sempra Texas Utilities

Our 100% interest in Oncor Holdings is a VIE that owns an 80.25% interest in Oncor. Sempra Energy is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE because of the structural and operational ring-fencing and governance measures in place that prevent us from having the power to direct the significant activities of Oncor Holdings. As a result, we do not consolidate Oncor Holdings and instead account for our ownership interest as an equity method investment. See Note 6 for additional information about our equity method investment in Oncor Holdings and restrictions on our ability to influence its activities. Our maximum exposure to loss, which fluctuates over time, from our interest in Oncor Holdings does not exceed the carrying value of our investment, which was $11,962 million at September 30, 2020 and $11,519 million at December 31, 2019.

Sempra Mexico

Sempra Mexico’s businesses also enter into arrangements that 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 or project companies that are VIEs because the total equity at risk is not sufficient for the entities to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support. If we are the primary beneficiary of these companies, we consolidate them. At December 31, 2019, Sempra Mexico consolidated a VIE with assets totaling approximately $126 million, which consisted primarily of PP&E and other long-term assets.

Sempra LNG

Cameron LNG JV is a VIE principally due to contractual provisions that transfer certain risks to customers. Sempra Energy is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE because we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of Cameron LNG JV, and therefore, we account for our investment in Cameron LNG JV under the equity method. The carrying value of our investment, including amounts recognized in AOCI related to interest-rate cash flow hedges at Cameron LNG JV, was $433 million at September 30, 2020 and $1,256 million at December 31, 2019. Our maximum exposure to loss, which fluctuates over time, includes the carrying value of our investment and guarantees that we discuss in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

As we discuss in Note 6, in July 2020, Sempra Energy entered into a Support Agreement for the benefit of CFIN that is a VIE. Since we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE, we are not the primary beneficiary. The conditional obligations of the Support Agreement represent a variable interest that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis (see Note 9). Sempra Energy’s maximum exposure to loss under the terms of the Support Agreement is $979 million.

PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

Settlement Accounting for Lump Sum Payments

Sempra Energy recorded settlement charges of $13 million and $22 million in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, in net periodic benefit cost for lump sum payments from its nonqualified pension plan that were in excess of the plan’s service cost plus interest cost.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Sempra Energy recorded settlement charges of $22 million in net periodic benefit cost for lump sum payments from its nonqualified pension plan that were in excess of the plan’s service cost plus interest cost.

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 $469 million and $488 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

SEMPRA ENERGY EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shares (from both continuing and discontinued operations) 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)    In the three months ended September 30, 2019, due to the dilutive effect of our series A preferred stock, the numerator used to calculate diluted EPS includes an add-back of dividends declared on our series A preferred stock.

(2)    Includes 535 and 618 average fully vested RSUs held in our Deferred Compensation Plan for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 536 and 615 of such RSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 common stock and the comparative indices used to determine the vesting percentage of our total shareholder return performance-based RSUs, which we discuss in Note 10 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 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2020 excludes 142,100 and 204,426 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, because to include them would be antidilutive for the period. The computation of diluted EPS for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 excludes zero and 107,042, respectively, of such potentially dilutive shares. However, these shares could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future.

The potentially dilutive impact from the forward sale of our common stock pursuant to forward sale agreements that we entered into in 2018 and fully settled by the end of 2019 is reflected in our diluted EPS calculation using the treasury stock method until settlement. After settlement, those shares are included in weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic EPS.

The potentially dilutive impact from mandatory convertible preferred stock is calculated under the if-converted method. The computation of diluted EPS for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 excludes 19,292,641 potentially dilutive shares and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 excludes 4,219,350 and 17,457,000 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, because to include them would be antidilutive for those periods. However, these shares could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future.

Pursuant to our Sempra Energy share-based compensation plans, the compensation committee of Sempra Energy’s board of directors granted 154,860 nonqualified stock options that vest over a three-year period, 265,236 performance-based RSUs and 163,475 service-based RSUs in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily in January.

We discuss share-based compensation plans and related awards and the terms and conditions of Sempra Energy’s equity securities further in Notes 10, 13 and 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Sempra Energy Series A Preferred Stock

The terms of our series A preferred stock require a notice to holders when the aggregate adjustment to the conversion rates at which shares of series A preferred stock are convertible into shares of Sempra Energy common stock is more than 1%. On July 6, 2020, we notified the holders of the series A preferred stock of such an adjustment. These adjustments, which resulted from the incremental impact of our second quarter dividend declared on our common stock and which became effective as of June 25, 2020, the ex-dividend date for such dividend, include adjustments to the minimum and maximum conversion rates and the related initial and threshold appreciation prices as shown in the following table:

CONVERSION RATES
Applicable market value per share of our common stock	Conversion rate (number of shares of our common stock to be received upon conversion of each share of series A preferred stock)
Greater than $129.668 (which is the adjusted threshold appreciation price)	0.7712 shares (equal to $100.00 divided by the adjusted threshold appreciation price)
Equal to or less than $129.668 but greater than or equal to $105.8425	Between 0.7712 and 0.9448 shares, determined by dividing $100.00 by the applicable market value of our common stock
Less than $105.8425 (which is the adjusted initial price)	0.9448 shares (equal to $100.00 divided by the adjusted initial price)

Sempra Energy Series C Preferred Stock

On June 19, 2020, we issued 900,000 shares of our 4.875% fixed-rate reset cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock, series C (series C preferred stock) in a registered public offering at a price to the public of $1,000 per share and received net proceeds of $889 million after deducting the underwriting discount and equity issuance costs of $11 million. We used the net proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness.

Liquidation Preference

Each share of series C preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) on such share.

Redemption at the Option of Sempra Energy

The shares of series C preferred stock are perpetual and have no maturity date. However, we may, at our option, redeem the series C preferred stock in whole or in part, from time to time, on any day during the period from and including the July 15 immediately preceding October 15, 2025 and October 15 of every fifth year after 2025 through and including such October 15 at a redemption price in cash equal to $1,000 per share. Additionally, in the event that a credit rating agency then publishing a rating for us makes certain amendments, clarifications or changes to the criteria it uses to assign equity credit to securities such as the series C preferred stock (Ratings Event), we may redeem the series C preferred stock, in whole but not in part, at any time within 120 days after the conclusion of any review or appeal process instituted by us following the occurrence of the Ratings Event or, if no such review or appeal process is available or sought, the occurrence of such Ratings Event, at a redemption price in cash equal to $1,020 per share (102% of the liquidation preference per share).

Dividends

Dividends on the series C preferred stock, when, as and if declared by our board of directors or an authorized committee thereof, are payable in cash, on a cumulative basis, semi-annually in arrears beginning on October 15, 2020. Dividends on the series C preferred stock will be cumulative:

▪whether or not we have earnings;

▪whether or not the payment of such dividends is then permitted under California law;

▪whether or not such dividends are authorized or declared; and

▪whether or not any agreements to which we are a party prohibit the current payment of dividends, including any agreement relating to our indebtedness.

We accrue dividends on the series C preferred stock on a monthly basis. The dividend rate from and including June 19, 2020 to, but excluding, October 15, 2025 is 4.875% per annum of the $1,000 liquidation preference per share. The dividend rate will reset on October 15, 2025 and on October 15 of every fifth year after 2025 and, for each five-year period following such reset dates, will be a per annum rate equal to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate as of the second business day prior to such reset date, plus a spread of 4.550%, of the $1,000 liquidation preference per share.

Voting Rights

The holders of series C preferred stock do not have any voting rights, except with respect to any authorization, creation or increase in the authorized amount of any class or series of capital stock ranking senior to the series C preferred stock, certain amendments to the terms of the series C preferred stock, in certain other limited circumstances and as otherwise specifically required by California law. In addition, whenever dividends on any shares of series C preferred stock have not been declared and paid or have been declared but not paid for three or more dividend periods, whether or not consecutive, the authorized number of directors on our board of directors will automatically be increased by two and the holders of the series C preferred stock, voting together as a single class with holders of any and all other outstanding series of preferred stock of equal rank having similar voting rights, will be entitled to elect two directors to fill such two newly created directorships. This voting right will terminate when all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the series C preferred stock have been paid in full and, upon such termination and the termination of the same voting rights of all other holders of outstanding series of preferred stock that have such voting rights, the term of office of each director elected pursuant to such rights will terminate and the authorized number of directors will automatically decrease by two, subject to the revesting of such rights in the event of each subsequent nonpayment.

Ranking

The series C preferred stock ranks, with respect to dividend rights and distribution rights upon our liquidation, winding-up or dissolution:

▪senior to our common stock and each other class or series of our capital stock established in the future, unless the terms of such capital stock expressly provide otherwise;

▪on parity with our outstanding series A preferred stock and series B preferred stock and each class or series of our capital stock established in the future if the terms of such capital stock provide that it ranks on parity with the series C preferred stock;

•junior to each class or series of our capital stock established in the future, if the terms of such capital stock provide that it ranks senior to the series C preferred stock;

▪junior to our existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities; and

•structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries and capital stock of our subsidiaries held by third parties.

Settlement of Sempra Energy Common Stock Forward Sale Agreements

In the third quarter of 2019, we received $728 million (net of underwriting discounts of $13 million) from the settlement of 7,156,185 shares of our common stock at a forward sale price of $101.74 related to our January 2018 offering. We provide additional information regarding the common stock offering in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Sempra Energy Common Stock Repurchases

On September 11, 2007, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of shares of our common stock, provided that the amounts spent for such purpose do not exceed the greater of $2 billion or amounts spent to purchase no more than 40 million shares. On July 1, 2020, we entered into an ASR program under which we prepaid $500 million to repurchase shares of our common stock in a share forward transaction. The total number of shares purchased was determined by dividing the $500 million purchase price by the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average trading prices of shares of our common stock during the valuation period of July 2, 2020 through August 4, 2020, minus a fixed discount. The program was completed on August 4, 2020 with an aggregate of 4,089,375 shares of Sempra Energy common stock repurchased at an average price of $122.27 per share. Following the completion of the ASR program, the aggregate dollar amount authorized by the September 11, 2007 share repurchase authorization was exhausted.

On July 6, 2020, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of shares of our common stock at any time and from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of $2 billion or amounts spent to purchase no more than 25 million shares. No shares have been repurchased under this authorization.

SoCalGas Preferred Stock

The preferred stock at SoCalGas is presented at Sempra Energy as a NCI. Sempra Energy records charges against income related to NCI for preferred dividends declared by SoCalGas. We provide additional information regarding preferred stock in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Other Noncontrolling Interests

SDG&E

As we discuss in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, on August 23, 2019, SDG&E and Sempra Energy deconsolidated Otay Mesa VIE after SDG&E determined that it was no longer the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

Sempra Mexico

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, IEnova repurchased 57,547,381 shares of its outstanding common stock held by NCI for $167 million, resulting in an increase in Sempra Energy’s ownership interest in IEnova from 66.6% at December 31, 2019 to 69.2% at September 30, 2020. Since October 1, 2020, IEnova repurchased a total of 19,575,399 shares for $64 million.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, IEnova repurchased 2,620,000 shares of its outstanding common stock held by NCI for $10 million resulting in an increase in Sempra Energy’s ownership interest in IEnova from 66.5% at December 31, 2018 to 66.6% at September 30, 2019.

In the first quarter of 2020, IEnova purchased additional shares in ICM Ventures Holdings B.V. for $9 million, increasing its ownership from 53.7% to 82.5%. ICM Ventures Holdings B.V. owns certain permits and land where IEnova is building terminals for the receipt, storage and delivery of liquid fuels.

Sempra Renewables

As we discuss in Note 5, in April 2019, Sempra Renewables sold its remaining wind assets and investments, which included its wind tax equity arrangements. The remaining ownership interest in PXiSE Energy Solutions, LLC was subsumed into Parent and other.

Sempra LNG

In March 2020, Sempra LNG purchased for $7 million the 24.6% minority interest in Liberty Gas Storage LLC, which owns 100% of LA Storage, LLC, increasing Sempra LNG’s ownership in Liberty Gas Storage LLC to 100%. Prior to the purchase, the minority partner converted $22 million in notes payable due from Sempra LNG to equity. As a result of the purchase, we recorded an increase in Sempra Energy’s shareholders’ equity of $2 million for the difference between the carrying value and fair value related to the change in ownership.

In February 2019, Sempra LNG purchased for $20 million the 9.1% minority interest in Bay Gas immediately prior to the sale of 100% of Bay Gas.

Sempra LNG and IEnova are jointly developing a proposed natural gas liquefaction project at the site of IEnova’s existing ECA LNG Regasification terminal. Sempra LNG consolidates the proposed ECA LNG JV liquefaction project. Thus, Sempra Energy’s NCI in IEnova’s 50% interest in the proposed project is reported at Sempra LNG.

Discontinued Operations

As we discuss in Note 5, we completed the sales of our equity interests in our Peruvian and Chilean businesses in the second quarter of 2020. The minority interests in Luz del Sur and Tecsur were deconsolidated upon sale of our Peruvian businesses in April 2020, and the minority interests in the Chilquinta Energía subsidiaries were deconsolidated upon sale of our Chilean businesses in June 2020.

(1)    We discuss how we recognize equity earnings in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas record income taxes for interim periods utilizing a forecasted ETR anticipated for the full year. Unusual and infrequent items and items that cannot be reliably estimated are recorded in the interim period in which they occur, which can result in variability in the ETR.

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 ETR. As a result, changes in the relative size of these items compared to pretax income, from period to period, can cause variations in the ETR. The following items are subject to flow-through treatment:

▪repairs expenditures related to a certain portion of utility plant fixed assets

▪the equity portion of AFUDC, which is non-taxable

▪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.

We record income tax (expense) benefit from the transactional effects of foreign currency and inflation. Such effects are partially offset by net gains (losses) from foreign currency derivatives that are hedging Sempra Mexico parent’s exposure to movements in the Mexico peso from its controlling interest in IEnova.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, SDG&E and SoCalGas recorded income tax benefits of $31 million and $38 million, respectively, from the release of a regulatory liability established in connection with 2017 tax reform for excess deferred income tax balances that the CPUC directed be allocated to shareholders in a January 2019 decision.

Discontinued Operations

In January 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses and we completed the sales in the second quarter of 2020, as we discuss in Note 5. Prior to this decision, our repatriation estimate excluded post-2017 earnings and other basis differences related to our South American businesses. Because of our decision to sell our South American businesses, we no longer assert indefinite reinvestment of these basis differences. Accordingly, in the nine months ended September 30, we recorded the following income tax impacts from changes in outside basis differences in our discontinued operations in South America:

▪$89 million income tax benefit in 2019 primarily related to outside basis differences existing as of the January 25, 2019 approval of our plan to sell our South American businesses. The amount is comprised of $103 million of income tax expense recorded in the first quarter of 2019, which was then reduced by $192 million in the third quarter of 2019 as a result of a change in the anticipated structure of the sale; and

▪$7 million income tax benefit in 2020 compared to $32 million income tax expense in 2019 related to changes in outside basis differences from earnings and foreign currency effects since January 25, 2019.

We have not changed our indefinite reinvestment assertion or repatriation plan for our continuing international operations during 2020.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

We describe below recent accounting pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”: ASU 2016-13, as amended by subsequently issued ASUs, changes how entities 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 receivables and 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. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption primarily impacted the expected credit losses associated with accounts receivable balances, amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates and off-balance sheet financial guarantees. There was an insignificant impact to SDG&E’s or SoCalGas’ balance sheets from adoption. The following table shows the initial (decreases) increases on Sempra Energy’s balance sheet at January 1, 2020 from adoption of ASU 2016-13.

IMPACT FROM ADOPTION OF ASU 2016-13
(Dollars in millions)
	Sempra Energy
Accounts receivable – trade, net	$	(1)
Due from unconsolidated affiliates – noncurrent	(6)
Deferred income tax assets	4
Other current liabilities	4
Deferred credits and other	2
Retained earnings	(7)
Other noncontrolling interests	(2)

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. We adopted ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2020 and will apply the standard on a prospective basis to our goodwill impairment tests.

ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”: ASU 2019-12 simplifies certain areas of accounting for income taxes. In addition to other changes, this standard amends ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” as follows:

▪removes the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items, including discontinued operations or other comprehensive income;

▪simplifies the recognition of deferred taxes related to basis differences as a result of ownership changes in investments;

▪specifies an entity is not required to allocate the consolidated amount of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements; and

▪requires an entity to reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual ETR computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date.

For public entities, ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The transition method related to the amendments made by ASU 2019-12 varies based on the nature of the change. We will adopt the standard on January 1, 2021 and do not expect it will have a material impact on our financial statements.

ASU 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”: ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications that replace LIBOR or another reference rate affected by reference rate reform and to hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate that is affected or expected to be affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective March 12, 2020 and can be applied through December 31, 2022, with certain exceptions for hedging relationships that continue to exist after this date, and may be applied from January 1, 2020. For contract modifications, the standard allows entities to account for modifications as an event that does not require reassessment or remeasurement (i.e., as a continuation of the existing contract). The standard also allows entities to amend their formal designation and documentation of hedging relationships affected or expected to be affected by reference rate reform, without having to de-designate the hedging relationship. Entities may elect the optional expedients and exceptions on an individual hedging relationship basis and independently from one another. We elected the optional expedients for contract modifications. We elected the cash flow hedging expedients to disregard the potential discontinuation of a reference rate when assessing whether a hedged forecasted interest payment is probable and to disregard certain mismatches between the designated hedging instrument and the hedged item when assessing the hedge effectiveness. We are applying these expedients prospectively from January 1, 2020. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with the past presentation.

ASU 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”: ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. In addition to other changes, this standard amends ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” by removing the accounting models for instruments with beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features. The standard also amends ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” as follows:

▪requires an entity to apply the if-converted method when calculating diluted EPS for convertible instruments and no longer use the treasury stock method, which was previously allowed for certain convertible instruments;

▪requires an entity to include the effect of potential share settlement in the diluted EPS calculation when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares, and no longer allows an entity to rebut the presumption of share settlement if it has a history or policy of cash settlement;

▪requires an entity to include equity-classified convertible preferred stock that contains down-round features whereby, if the down-round feature is triggered, its effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS;

▪clarifies that the average market price should be used to calculate the diluted EPS denominator when the exercise price or the number of shares that may be issued is variable, except for certain contingently issuable shares; and

▪clarifies that the weighted-average share count from each quarter should be used when calculating the year-to-date weighted-average share count.

For public entities, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. An entity can use either a full or modified retrospective approach to adopt ASU 2020-06 and must disclose, in the period of adoption, EPS transition information about the effect of the change on affected per-share amounts. 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.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

REVENUES

REVENUESWe discuss revenue recognition for revenues from contracts with customers and from sources other than contracts with customers in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the California Utilities and the CPUC have implemented certain measures to assist customers, including suspending service disconnections due to nonpayment for residential and small business customers, waiving late payment fees for business customers, and offering flexible payment plans for customers experiencing difficulty paying their electric or gas bills. Additional measures could be mandated or voluntarily implemented in the future. Under the regulatory compact applicable to the California Utilities, including decoupling of rates, recovery of uncollectible expenses, and other recovery mechanisms potentially available, which we discuss in Note 4, the California Utilities have continued to recognize revenues under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The following table disaggregates our revenues from contracts with customers by major service line and market and provides a reconciliation to total revenues by segment. The majority of our revenue is recognized over time.

CALIFORNIA UTILITIES

COVID-19 Pandemic Protections Memorandum Account

In March 2020, the CPUC required that all energy companies under its jurisdiction, including the California Utilities, take action to implement several emergency customer protection measures to support California customers in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The customer protection measures, which are mandatory for all residential and small business customers, are effective from March 2020, will continue for up to one year, and may be extended by the CPUC. In June 2020, the CPUC approved disaster relief plans covering residential and small business customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic that were submitted by each of the California Utilities. Each of the California Utilities also was authorized to establish a CPPMA to track and request recovery of incremental costs associated with complying with residential and small business customer protection measures implemented by the CPUC related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including costs associated with suspending service disconnections and uncollectible expenses that arise from these customers’ failure to pay. The California Utilities expect to pursue recovery in rates of the costs recorded to the CPPMA in a future CPUC proceeding, which recovery is not assured.

Arrearage Management Payment Plan

In June 2020, the CPUC issued a decision to adopt certain customer protections to reduce residential customer disconnections and improve reconnection processes, including, among other things, imposing limitations on service disconnections, elimination of deposit requirements and reconnection fees, establishment of the AMP that provides successfully participating, income-qualified residential customers with relief from outstanding utility bill amounts, and increased outreach and marketing efforts. The decision allows each of the California Utilities to establish a two-way balancing account to record the uncollectible expenses associated with residential customers’ inability to pay their electric or gas bills, including as a result of the relief from outstanding utility bill amounts provided under the AMP. The California Utilities may also request, at a future date, to transfer any such costs from the CPPMA to this new balancing account.

CPUC General Rate Case

The CPUC uses GRC proceedings to set rates designed to allow the California Utilities to recover their reasonable operating costs and to provide the opportunity to realize their authorized rates of return on their investments.

2019 General Rate Case

As we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, in September 2019, the CPUC issued the 2019 GRC FD, which was effective retroactively to January 1, 2019. In the third quarter of 2019, SDG&E and SoCalGas recorded the retroactive after-tax earnings impact of $36 million and $84 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2019 and $30 million and $46 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2019.

The 2019 GRC FD approved SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ test year revenues for 2019 and attrition year adjustments for 2020 and 2021. In January 2020, the CPUC issued a final decision implementing a four-year GRC cycle for California IOUs. The California Utilities were directed to file a petition for modification to revise their 2019 GRC to add two additional attrition years, resulting in a transitional five-year GRC period (2019-2023). The California Utilities filed the petition in April 2020 and requested authorization of their post-test year ratemaking mechanism for two additional years. We have requested an increase in the revenue requirement for SDG&E and SoCalGas of approximately $95 million and $155 million, respectively, for 2022, and $96 million and $137 million, respectively, for 2023, reflecting certain adjustments. These amounts include revenues for both O&M and capital cost attrition. In June 2020, the CPUC issued a ruling to further clarify the issues for review in the California Utilities’ petition, which are mainly whether the proposed revenue requirements and mechanisms for the two proposed additional attrition years are just and reasonable. In September 2020, the California Utilities filed a status report to summarize positions on how impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic should be incorporated into the proposed attrition rates. The California Utilities proposed to continue with the adopted attrition mechanism using the second quarter 2020 Global Insight utility cost forecast, which incorporates impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Intervenors have proposed other alternatives, including using escalation factors based on the Consumer Price Index. The procedural schedule provides for a proposed decision in the fourth quarter of 2020.

The 2019 GRC FD clarified that differences between incurred and forecasted income tax expense due to forecasting differences are not subject to tracking in the income tax expense memorandum account beginning in 2019. SDG&E and SoCalGas previously recorded regulatory liabilities, inclusive of interest, associated with the 2016 through 2018 tracked forecasting differences of $86 million and $89 million, respectively. In April 2020, the CPUC confirmed treatment of the two-way income tax expense memorandum account for these 2016 through 2018 balances, at which time the California Utilities released these regulatory liability balances to revenues and regulatory interest.

CPUC Cost of Capital

In December 2019, the CPUC approved the cost of capital and rate structures (shown in the table below) for SDG&E and SoCalGas that are effective January 1, 2020 and will remain in effect through December 31, 2022. SDG&E did not propose a 2020 cost of preferred equity in this proceeding. In January 2020, SDG&E filed an advice letter to continue the cost of preferred equity for test year 2020 at 6.22%, which the CPUC approved in March 2020.

CPUC AUTHORIZED COST OF CAPITAL AND RATE STRUCTURE
SDG&E							SoCalGas
Authorized weighting		Return on rate base		Weighted return on rate base			Authorized weighting		Return on rate base		Weighted return on rate base
45.25	%	4.59	%	2.08	%	Long-Term Debt	45.60	%	4.23	%	1.93	%
2.75		6.22		0.17		Preferred Equity	2.40		6.00		0.14
52.00		10.20		5.30		Common Equity	52.00		10.05		5.23
100.00	%			7.55	%		100.00	%			7.30	%

The CCM was reauthorized in the 2020 cost of capital proceeding to continue through 2022. The CCM benchmark rate for the 2020 cost of capital is the average monthly utility bond index, as published by Moody’s, for the 12-month period from October 2018 through September 2019. SDG&E’s CCM benchmark rate is 4.498%, based on Moody’s Baa- utility bond index. SoCalGas’ CCM benchmark rate is 4.029%, based on Moody’s A- utility bond index. The index applicable to each utility is based on such utility’s credit rating.

The CCM benchmark rates for SDG&E and SoCalGas are the basis of comparison to determine if future measurement periods “trigger” the CCM. For the 12 months ended September 2020, the first “CCM Period,” the trigger did not occur for SDG&E or SoCalGas. The trigger occurs if the change in the applicable average Moody’s utility bond index relative to the CCM benchmark is larger than plus or minus 1.000%. Accordingly, if a change of more than plus or minus 1.000% occurs, SDG&E’s, SoCalGas’, or both utilities’ authorized ROE would be adjusted, upward or downward, by one half of the difference between the CCM benchmark and the 12-month average determined during the CCM Period. In addition, the authorized recovery rate for the California Utilities’ cost of debt and preferred equity would be adjusted to their respective actual weighted-average cost, with no change to the authorized capital structure. In the event of a CCM trigger, the CCM benchmark is also re-established. These adjustments would become effective in authorized rates on January 1 of the year following the CCM trigger. The next CCM Period is from October 2020 to September 2021.

SDG&E

FERC Formulaic Rate Filing

In October 2018, SDG&E submitted its TO5 filing to the FERC to establish its transmission revenue requirement, including rate of return, for SDG&E’s FERC-regulated electric transmission operations and assets. In December 2018, the FERC issued its order accepting and suspending SDG&E’s TO5 filing for five months, during which the existing TO4 rates remained in effect, and established hearing and settlement procedures. The suspension period ended on June 1, 2019, when the proposed TO5 rates took effect, subject to refund and the outcome of the rate filing. As a result, the TO4 ROE of 10.05% was the basis of SDG&E’s FERC-related revenue recognition until March 2020, when the FERC approved the settlement terms that SDG&E and all settling parties reached in October 2019.

The settlement agreement provides for a ROE of 10.60%, consisting of a base ROE of 10.10% plus an additional 50 bps for participation in the California ISO. If the FERC issues an order ruling that California IOUs are no longer eligible for the additional California ISO ROE, SDG&E would refund the additional 50 bps of ROE associated with the California ISO as of the refund effective date (June 1, 2019) in this proceeding. The TO5 term is effective June 1, 2019 and shall remain in effect indefinitely, with parties having the annual right to terminate the agreement beginning in 2022.

In the first quarter of 2020, SDG&E recorded retroactive revenues of $12 million related to 2019, and additional FERC revenues of $17 million to conclude a rate base matter, net of certain refunds to be paid to CPUC-jurisdictional customers.

Energy Efficiency Program Inquiry

In January 2020, the CPUC issued a ruling seeking comments on a report prepared by its consultant regarding SDG&E’s Upstream Lighting Program for the program year 2017. The CPUC subsequently expanded the scope of the comments to cover

the program year 2018. The Upstream Lighting Program was one of SDG&E’s Energy Efficiency programs designed to produce energy efficiency savings for which SDG&E could earn a performance-based incentive.

Pursuant to the CPUC ruling, intervenors representing ratepayers have questioned SDG&E’s management of the program and alleged that certain program expenditures did not benefit the purpose of the program. As a result of the inquiry, SDG&E voluntarily expanded its review to include the program year 2019. Based on this review and discussions with intervenors, SDG&E concluded that some concessions were appropriate, which include refunding certain costs and certain performance-based incentives to customers and incurring a fine. Accordingly, in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, SDG&E reduced revenues by $36 million and $51 million, respectively, and recorded a fine of $6 million in Other (Expense) Income, Net, on the SDG&E and Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The after-tax impact for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $29 million and $44 million, respectively. In October 2020, SDG&E executed a settlement agreement with intervenors consistent with these concessions. CPUC approval of the settlement agreement is required.

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% ownership interest. We discuss SONGS further in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

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. We expect the majority of the decommissioning work to take 10 years after receipt of all the required permits. The coastal development permit, the last permit required to be obtained, was issued in October 2019. The Samuel Lawrence Foundation filed a writ petition under the California Coastal Act in LA Superior Court in December 2019 seeking to invalidate this permit and to obtain injunctive relief to stop decommissioning work. In September 2020, the Samuel Lawrence Foundation filed another writ petition under the California Coastal Act in LA Superior Court seeking to set aside the California Coastal Commission’s July 2020 approval of the inspection and maintenance plan for the SONGS’ canisters and to obtain injunctive relief to stop decommissioning work. Major decommissioning work began in 2020 and has not been interrupted by the writ petitions filed by the Samuel Lawrence Foundation. Decommissioning of Unit 1, removed from service in 1992, is largely complete. The remaining work for Unit 1 will be completed once Units 2 and 3 are dismantled and the spent fuel is removed from the site. The spent fuel is currently being stored on-site, until the DOE identifies a spent fuel storage facility and puts in place a program for the fuel’s disposal, as we discuss below. SDG&E is responsible for approximately 20% 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. SDG&E classifies debt and equity securities held in the NDT as available-for-sale. 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 noncurrent Regulatory Liabilities.

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. In March 2020, SDG&E received authorization from the CPUC to access NDT funds of up to $109 million for forecasted 2020 costs.

In September 2020, the IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury published final regulations that clarify the definition of “nuclear decommissioning costs,” which are costs that may be paid for or reimbursed from a qualified trust fund. The final regulations adopted most of the provisions of the proposed regulations issued in December 2016. The final regulations apply to taxable years ending on or after September 4, 2020 and confirm that the definition of “nuclear decommissioning costs” includes amounts related to the storage of spent nuclear fuel at both on-site and off-site ISFSIs.

The final regulations also clarify that costs incurred for ISFSIs that may be or are expected to be reimbursed by the DOE may be paid or reimbursed from a qualified trust fund. Accordingly, the final regulations allow SDG&E the option to access qualified trust funds to recover spent fuel storage 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 below.

The following table shows the fair values and gross unrealized gains and losses for the securities held in the NDT. We provide additional fair value disclosures for the NDT in Note 9.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION AND SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL

The present value of SDG&E’s ARO related to decommissioning costs for the SONGS units was $593 million at September 30, 2020. That amount includes the cost to decommission Units 2 and 3, and the remaining cost to complete the decommissioning of Unit 1, which is substantially complete. The ARO for all three units is based on a cost study prepared in 2017 that is pending CPUC approval. The ARO for Units 2 and 3 reflects the acceleration of the start of decommissioning of these units as a result of the early closure of the plant. SDG&E’s share of total decommissioning costs in 2020 dollars is approximately $860 million.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NUCLEAR FUEL DISPOSAL

Spent nuclear fuel from SONGS is currently stored on-site in an ISFSI licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. In October 2015, the California Coastal Commission approved Edison’s application to expand the ISFSI. The ISFSI expansion began construction in 2016 and the transfer of the spent nuclear fuel from Units 2 and 3 to the ISFSI began in 2018 and was completed in August 2020. The ISFSI will 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. Until then, SONGS owners are responsible for interim storage of spent nuclear fuel at SONGS.

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. In November 2019, Edison filed a claim for spent fuel management costs in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims for the time period from January 2017 through July 2018. It is unclear when Edison will pursue litigation claims for spent fuel management costs incurred on or after August 1, 2018. 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.

NUCLEAR INSURANCE

SDG&E and the other owners of SONGS have insurance to cover claims from nuclear liability incidents arising at SONGS. Currently, 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 an additional $110 million of coverage. If a nuclear liability loss occurs at SONGS and exceeds the $450 million insurance limit, this additional coverage would be available to provide a total of $560 million in coverage limits per incident.

As a result of updated coverage assessments, the SONGS owners have nuclear property damage insurance of $130 million, which exceeds the minimum federal requirements of $50 million. This insurance coverage is provided through NEIL. The NEIL policies have specific exclusions and limitations that can result in reduced 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 $3.5 million of retrospective premiums based on overall member claims.

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) of $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.

ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

We consolidate assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the purchase date and include earnings from acquisitions in consolidated earnings after the purchase date.

ACQUISITION

Sempra Texas Utilities

TTHC

In February 2020, STIH acquired an additional indirect 0.1975% interest in Oncor through its acquisition of a 1% interest in TTHC from Hunt Strategic Utility Investment, L.L.C. (Hunt), including notes receivable due from TTHC with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $6 million, for a total purchase price of approximately $23 million in cash, bringing Sempra Energy’s indirect ownership in Oncor to approximately 80.45%. TTHC indirectly owns 100% of TTI, which owns 19.75% of Oncor’s outstanding membership interests. At the acquisition date, we determined the fair value of the notes receivable was $7 million based on a discounted cash flow model, and attributed $16 million to the investment in TTHC, which we recorded as an equity method investment.

STIH’s acquisition of the 1% interest was the subject of a lawsuit filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery by the owners of the remaining 99% ownership interest in TTHC. STIH purchased its 1% interest in TTHC in February 2020 after the Delaware Court of Chancery decided, among other things, that STIH’s right to purchase the 1% interest was superior to that of the remaining owners of TTHC. The remaining owners appealed that decision and, in May 2020, the Delaware Supreme Court reversed the Delaware Court of Chancery’s ruling and remanded the case back to the Delaware Court of Chancery. In September 2020, the Delaware Court of Chancery ordered, among other things, the rescission of STIH’s purchase of the 1% interest in TTHC. The parties have complied with the court’s order and Sempra Energy’s indirect ownership in Oncor has returned to 80.25%. We received a full refund of the purchase price from Hunt in September 2020 and have fully unwound the acquisition.

Sharyland Holdings

In May 2019, Sempra Energy acquired an indirect, 50% interest in Sharyland Holdings for $95 million (net of $7 million post-closing adjustments) pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. In connection with and prior to the consummation of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Sharyland Holdings owned 100% of the membership interests in Sharyland Utilities, LP and Sharyland Utilities, LP converted into a limited liability company, named Sharyland Utilities, L.L.C. We account for our indirect, 50% interest in Sharyland Holdings as an equity method investment.

DIVESTITURES

Sempra Renewables

In April 2019, Sempra Renewables completed the sale of its remaining wind assets and investments to AEP for $569 million, net of transaction costs, and recorded a $61 million ($45 million after tax and NCI) gain, which is included in (Loss) Gain on Sale of Assets on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Upon completion of the sale, remaining nominal business activities at Sempra Renewables were subsumed into Parent and other and the Sempra Renewables segment ceased to exist.

Sempra LNG

In February 2019, Sempra LNG completed the sale of its non-utility natural gas storage assets in the southeast U.S. (comprised of Mississippi Hub and Bay Gas), which we classified as held for sale at December 31, 2018, to an affiliate of ArcLight Capital Partners and received cash proceeds of $322 million, net of transaction costs. In January 2019, Sempra LNG completed the sale of other non-utility assets for $5 million.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In January 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses. We determined that these businesses, which previously constituted the Sempra South American Utilities segment, and certain activities associated with those businesses, met the held-for-sale criteria. These businesses are presented as discontinued operations, as the sales represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. Upon completion of these sales, we no longer have continuing involvement in or the ability to exercise significant influence on the operating or financial policies of these operations. Accordingly, the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for these businesses have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Discontinued operations that were previously in the Sempra South American Utilities segment include our former 100% interest in Chilquinta Energía in Chile, our former 83.6% interest in Luz del Sur in Peru and our former interests in two energy-services companies, Tecnored and Tecsur, which provide electric construction and infrastructure services to Chilquinta Energía and Luz del Sur, respectively, as well as third parties. 

On April 24, 2020, we completed the sale of our equity interests in our Peruvian businesses, including our 83.6% interest in Luz del Sur and our interest in Tecsur, to an affiliate of China Yangtze Power International (Hongkong) Co., Limited for cash proceeds of $3,549 million, net of transaction costs and as adjusted for post-closing adjustments, and recorded a pretax gain of $2,271 million ($1,499 million after tax).

On June 24, 2020, we completed the sale of our equity interests in our Chilean businesses, including our 100% interest in Chilquinta Energía and Tecnored and our 50% interest in Eletrans, to State Grid International Development Limited for cash proceeds of $2,216 million, net of transaction costs and as adjusted for post-closing adjustments, and recorded a pretax gain of $628 million ($248 million after tax).

In the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the pretax gains from the sales of our South American businesses are included in (Loss) Gain on Sale of Discontinued Operations in the table below and the after-tax gains are included in (Loss) Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Tax, on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

We generally account for investments under the equity method when we have significant influence over, but do not have control of, these entities. Equity earnings and losses, both before and net of income tax, are combined and presented as Equity Earnings on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 12 for information on equity earnings and losses, both before and net of income tax, by segment. See Note 1 for information on how equity earnings and losses before income taxes are factored into the calculations of our pretax income or loss and ETR.

We provide additional information concerning our equity method investments in Notes 5 and 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

SEMPRA TEXAS UTILITIES

Oncor Holdings

We account for our 100% ownership interest in Oncor Holdings, which owns an 80.25% interest in Oncor, as an equity method investment. Due to the ring-fencing measures, governance mechanisms, and commitments in effect, we do not have the power to

direct the significant activities of Oncor Holdings and Oncor. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report for additional information related to the restrictions on our ability to direct the significant activities of Oncor Holdings and Oncor.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Sempra Energy contributed $209 million to Oncor Holdings, and Oncor Holdings distributed to Sempra Energy $220 million in dividends.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Sempra Energy contributed $1,236 million to Oncor Holdings, which includes $1,067 million to fund Oncor’s May 2019 acquisition of interests in InfraREIT and certain acquisition-related expenses, which we discuss in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Oncor Holdings distributed to Sempra Energy $162 million in dividends.

We provide summarized income statement information for Oncor Holdings in the following table.

SEMPRA LNG

Cameron LNG JV

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Sempra LNG contributed $54 million to Cameron LNG JV, and Cameron LNG JV distributed to Sempra LNG dividends of $209 million and a distribution in the form of a return of investment of $803 million.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Sempra LNG invested cash of $77 million in Cameron LNG JV and, prior to commencing commercial operations in August 2019, Sempra LNG capitalized $32 million of interest related to its investment in Cameron LNG JV.

As of September 30, 2020, Sempra Energy has provided guarantees aggregating a maximum of $4.0 billion with an aggregate carrying value of $1 million, which is included in Other Current Liabilities on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet associated with Cameron LNG JV’s debt obligations. We discuss these guarantees in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Sempra Energy Support Agreement for CFIN

In July 2020, CFIN entered into a financing arrangement with Cameron LNG JV’s four project owners and received aggregate proceeds of $1.5 billion from two project owners and from external lenders on behalf of the other two project owners (collectively, the affiliate loans), based on their proportionate ownership interest in Cameron LNG JV. CFIN used the proceeds from the affiliate loans to provide a loan to Cameron LNG JV. The affiliate loans mature in 2039. Principal and interest will be paid from Cameron LNG JV’s project cash flows from its three-train natural gas liquefaction facility. Cameron LNG JV used the proceeds from its loan to return equity to its project owners. Sempra Energy used its $753 million share of the proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness.

Sempra Energy’s $753 million proportionate share of the affiliate loans, based on its 50.2% ownership interest in Cameron LNG JV, was funded by external lenders comprised of a syndicate of eight banks (the bank debt) to whom Sempra Energy has provided a guarantee pursuant to a Support Agreement. Under the terms of the Support Agreement, Sempra Energy has severally guaranteed repayment of the bank debt plus accrued and unpaid interest if CFIN fails to pay the external lenders. Additionally, the external lenders may exercise an option to put the bank debt to Sempra Energy on every one-year anniversary of the closing of the affiliate loans, as well as upon the occurrence of certain events, including a failure by CFIN to meet its payment obligations under the bank debt. In addition, some or all of the bank debt will be transferred by each external lender back to Sempra Energy on the

five-year anniversary of the affiliate loans, unless the external lenders elect to waive their transfer rights six months prior to the five-year anniversary of the affiliate loans. Sempra Energy also has a right to call the bank debt back from, or to refinance the bank debt with, the external lenders at any time. The Support Agreement will terminate upon full repayment of the bank debt, including repayment following an event in which the bank debt is put to Sempra Energy. In exchange for this guarantee, the external lenders will pay a guarantee fee that is based on the credit rating of Sempra Energy’s long-term senior unsecured non-credit enhanced debt rating, which guarantee fee Sempra LNG will recognize as interest income as earned. Sempra Energy’s maximum exposure to loss is the bank debt plus any accrued and unpaid interest and related fees, subject to a liability cap of 130% of the bank debt, or $979 million. We measure the Support Agreement at fair value, net of related guarantee fees, on a recurring basis (see Note 9). At September 30, 2020, the fair value of the Support Agreement was $6 million, which is included in Other Current Assets on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

RBS SEMPRA COMMODITIES

As we discuss in Note 11, in the first quarter of 2020, we recorded a charge of $100 million in Equity Earnings on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for losses from our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities. We recognized a corresponding liability of $25 million in Other Current Liabilities and $75 million in Deferred Credits and Other for our share of estimated losses in excess of the carrying value of our equity method investment.

(borrowings may be made in either U.S. dollars or Mexican pesos) and a three-year $100 million uncommitted revolving credit facility with The Bank of Nova Scotia (borrowings can only be made in U.S. dollars).

Letters of Credit

Outside of our domestic and foreign committed credit facilities, we have bilateral unsecured standby letter of credit capacity with select lenders that is uncommitted and supported by reimbursement agreements. At September 30, 2020, we had approximately $560 million in standby letters of credit outstanding under these agreements.

TERM LOANS

In March 2020 and April 2020, Sempra Energy borrowed a total of $1,599 million, net of $1 million of debt discounts and issuance costs, under a 364-day term loan, which had a maturity date of March 16, 2021 with an option to extend the maturity date to September 16, 2021, subject to receiving the consent of the lenders. Sempra Energy used the proceeds from the term loan to repay borrowings on its committed lines of credit and for other general corporate purposes. This term loan was repaid in full in September 2020.

In March 2020, SDG&E borrowed $200 million under a 364-day term loan, which has a maturity date of March 18, 2021 with an option to extend the maturity date to September 17, 2021, subject to receiving the consent of the lenders. Borrowings bear interest at benchmark rates plus 80 bps (0.95% at September 30, 2020). The term loan provides SDG&E with additional liquidity outside of its committed line of credit. SDG&E classified this term loan as long-term debt based on management’s intent and ability to maintain this level of borrowing on a long-term basis by issuing long-term debt. At September 30, 2020, this term loan was included in Current Portion of Long-Term Debt and Finance Leases on SDG&E’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

WEIGHTED-AVERAGE INTEREST RATES

The weighted-average interest rates on the total short-term debt at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were as follows:

WEIGHTED-AVERAGE INTEREST RATES

In September 2020, SDG&E issued $800 million of 1.70% first mortgage bonds maturing in 2030 and received proceeds of $792 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $8 million). SDG&E intends to use a portion of the proceeds from the offering to repay approximately $250 million of debt, prior to its scheduled maturity. As a result, this amount was classified as Current Portion of Long-Term Debt and Finance Leases on the SDG&E and Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2020. SDG&E intends to use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes, including repayment of commercial paper.

In April 2020, SDG&E issued $400 million of 3.32% first mortgage bonds maturing in 2050 and received proceeds of $395 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $5 million).

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2020

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSWe 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 could cause our asset values to fall or our liabilities to 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 have derivatives that are (1) cash flow hedges, (2) fair value hedges, 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 OCI (cash flow hedges), on the balance sheet (regulatory offsets), or recognized in earnings (fair value hedges and undesignated derivatives not subject to rate recovery). We classify cash flows from the principal settlements of cross-currency swaps that hedge exposure related to Mexican peso-denominated debt as financing activities and settlements of other 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.

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 and Sempra LNG 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 Energy-Related Businesses Cost of Sales 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 distribution 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 and greenhouse gas allowances.

The following table summarizes net energy derivative volumes.

NET ENERGY DERIVATIVE VOLUMES
(Quantities in millions)
Commodity	Unit of measure	September 30, 2020	December 31, 2019
Sempra Energy Consolidated:
Natural gas	MMBtu	19	32
Electricity	MWh	2	2

SDG&E:
Natural gas	MMBtu	23	37
Electricity	MWh	1	2
Congestion revenue rights	MWh	43	48
SoCalGas:
Natural gas	MMBtu	—	2

In addition to the amounts noted above, we 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 Sempra Energy and its other subsidiaries and JVs, periodically enter into interest rate derivative agreements intended to moderate our exposure to interest rates and to lower our overall costs of borrowing. 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.

The following table presents the net notional amounts of our interest rate derivatives, excluding JVs.

Sempra Energy Consolidated:
Cash flow hedges	$	1,500	2020-2034	$	1,445	2020-2034

FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES

We utilize cross-currency swaps to hedge exposure related to Mexican peso-denominated debt at our Mexican subsidiaries and JVs. 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 JVs 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 JVs, which have U.S. dollar-denominated cash balances, receivables, payables and debt (monetary assets and liabilities) that give rise to Mexican currency 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 for inflation.

We also utilized foreign currency derivatives to hedge exposure to fluctuations in the Peruvian sol and Chilean peso related to the sales of our operations in Peru and Chile, respectively.

The following table presents the net notional amounts of our foreign currency derivatives, excluding JVs.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect the offsetting of net derivative positions and cash collateral with the same counterparty when a legal right of offset exists. The following tables provide the fair values of derivative instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, including the amount of cash collateral receivables that were not offset because the cash collateral was in excess of liability positions.

For Sempra Energy Consolidated, we expect that net losses of $72 million, which are net of income tax benefit, that are currently recorded in AOCI related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months as the hedged items affect earnings. SoCalGas expects that $1 million of 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 12 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 September 30, 2020 is approximately 14 years for Sempra Energy Consolidated. The maximum remaining term for which we are hedging exposure to the variability of cash flows at our equity method investees is 19 years.

CONTINGENT FEATURES

For Sempra Energy Consolidated, SDG&E and SoCalGas, 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $8 million and $21 million, respectively. For SoCalGas, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a net liability position at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $7 million and $4 million, respectively. At September 30, 2020, if the credit ratings of Sempra Energy or SoCalGas were reduced below investment grade, $8 million and $7 million, respectively, 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.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTSWe 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. 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 valued assets and liabilities, and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. We have not changed the valuation techniques or types of inputs we use to measure recurring fair value since December 31, 2019.

The fair value of commodity derivative assets and liabilities is presented in accordance with our netting policy, as we discuss in Note 8 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 in the tables below include the following (other than a $5 million investment at December 31, 2019, measured at net asset value):

▪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 or income 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 – SDG&E.”

▪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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

▪As we discuss in Note 6, in July 2020, Sempra Energy entered into a Support Agreement for the benefit of CFIN. We measure the Support Agreement, which includes a guarantee obligation, a put option and a call option, net of related guarantee fees, at fair value on a recurring basis. We use a discounted cash flow model to value the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees. Because some of the inputs that are significant to the valuation are less observable, the Support Agreement is classified as Level 3, as we describe below in “Level 3 Information – Sempra LNG.”

Level 3 Information

SDG&E

The table below sets forth reconciliations of changes in the fair value of CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy for Sempra Energy Consolidated and SDG&E.

Change in unrealized gains (losses) relating to instruments still held at September 30	$	(1)	$	12

(1)    Excludes the effect of the contractual ability to settle contracts under master netting agreements.

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 California ISO, an objective source. Annual auction prices are published once a year, typically in the middle of November, and are the basis for valuing CRRs settling in the following year. For the CRRs settling from January 1 to December 31, the auction price inputs, at a given location, were in the following ranges for the years indicated below:

CONGESTION REVENUE RIGHTS AUCTION PRICE INPUTS
Settlement year	Price per MWh					Median price per MWh
2020	$	(3.77)	to	$	6.03	$	(1.58)
2019	(8.57)		to	35.21		(2.94)

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. 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 8.

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. The range and weighted-average price of these inputs at September 30 were as follows:

LONG-TERM, FIXED-PRICE ELECTRICITY POSITIONS PRICE INPUTS
Settlement year	Price per MWh					Weighted-average price per MWh
2020	$	19.45	to	$	71.25	$	38.14
2019		21.60	to		57.20		38.29

A significant increase (decrease) in market electricity forward prices would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value. We summarize long-term, fixed-price electricity position volumes in Note 8.

Realized gains and losses associated with CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions, which are recoverable in rates, are recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Because unrealized gains and losses are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities, they do not affect earnings.

Sempra LNG

The table below sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of Sempra Energy’s Support Agreement for the benefit of CFIN classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy for Sempra Energy Consolidated.

LEVEL 3 RECONCILIATION
(Dollars in millions)
	Three months ended September 30, 2020
Balance at July 1	$	—
Realized and unrealized gains(1)	7
Settlements	(1)
Balance at September 30(2)	$	6
Change in unrealized gains (losses) relating to instruments still held at September 30	$	6

(1)    Net gains are included in Interest Income and net losses are included in Interest Expense on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(2)    Included in Other Current Assets on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The fair value of the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees, is based on a discounted cash flow model using a probability of default and survival methodology. Our estimate of fair value considers inputs such as third-party default rates, credit ratings, recovery rates, and risk-adjusted discount rates, which may be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable inputs. Because CFIN’s credit rating and related default and survival rates are unobservable inputs that are

significant to the valuation, the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees, is classified as Level 3. We assigned CFIN an internally developed credit rating of A3 and relied on default rate data published by Moody’s to assign a probability of default. A hypothetical change in the credit rating up or down one notch would not result in a significant change in the fair value of the Support Agreement.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of certain of our financial instruments (cash, 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.

CALIFORNIA UTILITIES

COVID-19 Pandemic Protections Memorandum Account

In March 2020, the CPUC required that all energy companies under its jurisdiction, including the California Utilities, take action to implement several emergency customer protection measures to support California customers in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The customer protection measures, which are mandatory for all residential and small business customers, are effective from March 2020, will continue for up to one year, and may be extended by the CPUC. In June 2020, the CPUC approved disaster relief plans covering residential and small business customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic that were submitted by each of the California Utilities. Each of the California Utilities also was authorized to establish a CPPMA to track and request recovery of incremental costs associated with complying with residential and small business customer protection measures implemented by the CPUC related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including costs associated with suspending service disconnections and uncollectible expenses that arise from these customers’ failure to pay. The California Utilities expect to pursue recovery in rates of the costs recorded to the CPPMA in a future CPUC proceeding, which recovery is not assured.

Arrearage Management Payment Plan

In June 2020, the CPUC issued a decision to adopt certain customer protections to reduce residential customer disconnections and improve reconnection processes, including, among other things, imposing limitations on service disconnections, elimination of deposit requirements and reconnection fees, establishment of the AMP that provides successfully participating, income-qualified residential customers with relief from outstanding utility bill amounts, and increased outreach and marketing efforts. The decision allows each of the California Utilities to establish a two-way balancing account to record the uncollectible expenses associated with residential customers’ inability to pay their electric or gas bills, including as a result of the relief from outstanding utility bill amounts provided under the AMP. The California Utilities may also request, at a future date, to transfer any such costs from the CPPMA to this new balancing account.

CPUC General Rate Case

The CPUC uses GRC proceedings to set rates designed to allow the California Utilities to recover their reasonable operating costs and to provide the opportunity to realize their authorized rates of return on their investments.

2019 General Rate Case

As we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, in September 2019, the CPUC issued the 2019 GRC FD, which was effective retroactively to January 1, 2019. In the third quarter of 2019, SDG&E and SoCalGas recorded the retroactive after-tax earnings impact of $36 million and $84 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2019 and $30 million and $46 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2019.

The 2019 GRC FD approved SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ test year revenues for 2019 and attrition year adjustments for 2020 and 2021. In January 2020, the CPUC issued a final decision implementing a four-year GRC cycle for California IOUs. The California Utilities were directed to file a petition for modification to revise their 2019 GRC to add two additional attrition years, resulting in a transitional five-year GRC period (2019-2023). The California Utilities filed the petition in April 2020 and requested authorization of their post-test year ratemaking mechanism for two additional years. We have requested an increase in the revenue requirement for SDG&E and SoCalGas of approximately $95 million and $155 million, respectively, for 2022, and $96 million and $137 million, respectively, for 2023, reflecting certain adjustments. These amounts include revenues for both O&M and capital cost attrition. In June 2020, the CPUC issued a ruling to further clarify the issues for review in the California Utilities’ petition, which are mainly whether the proposed revenue requirements and mechanisms for the two proposed additional attrition years are just and reasonable. In September 2020, the California Utilities filed a status report to summarize positions on how impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic should be incorporated into the proposed attrition rates. The California Utilities proposed to continue with the adopted attrition mechanism using the second quarter 2020 Global Insight utility cost forecast, which incorporates impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Intervenors have proposed other alternatives, including using escalation factors based on the Consumer Price Index. The procedural schedule provides for a proposed decision in the fourth quarter of 2020.

The 2019 GRC FD clarified that differences between incurred and forecasted income tax expense due to forecasting differences are not subject to tracking in the income tax expense memorandum account beginning in 2019. SDG&E and SoCalGas previously recorded regulatory liabilities, inclusive of interest, associated with the 2016 through 2018 tracked forecasting differences of $86 million and $89 million, respectively. In April 2020, the CPUC confirmed treatment of the two-way income tax expense memorandum account for these 2016 through 2018 balances, at which time the California Utilities released these regulatory liability balances to revenues and regulatory interest.

CPUC Cost of Capital

In December 2019, the CPUC approved the cost of capital and rate structures (shown in the table below) for SDG&E and SoCalGas that are effective January 1, 2020 and will remain in effect through December 31, 2022. SDG&E did not propose a 2020 cost of preferred equity in this proceeding. In January 2020, SDG&E filed an advice letter to continue the cost of preferred equity for test year 2020 at 6.22%, which the CPUC approved in March 2020.

CPUC AUTHORIZED COST OF CAPITAL AND RATE STRUCTURE
SDG&E							SoCalGas
Authorized weighting		Return on rate base		Weighted return on rate base			Authorized weighting		Return on rate base		Weighted return on rate base
45.25	%	4.59	%	2.08	%	Long-Term Debt	45.60	%	4.23	%	1.93	%
2.75		6.22		0.17		Preferred Equity	2.40		6.00		0.14
52.00		10.20		5.30		Common Equity	52.00		10.05		5.23
100.00	%			7.55	%		100.00	%			7.30	%

The CCM was reauthorized in the 2020 cost of capital proceeding to continue through 2022. The CCM benchmark rate for the 2020 cost of capital is the average monthly utility bond index, as published by Moody’s, for the 12-month period from October 2018 through September 2019. SDG&E’s CCM benchmark rate is 4.498%, based on Moody’s Baa- utility bond index. SoCalGas’ CCM benchmark rate is 4.029%, based on Moody’s A- utility bond index. The index applicable to each utility is based on such utility’s credit rating.

The CCM benchmark rates for SDG&E and SoCalGas are the basis of comparison to determine if future measurement periods “trigger” the CCM. For the 12 months ended September 2020, the first “CCM Period,” the trigger did not occur for SDG&E or SoCalGas. The trigger occurs if the change in the applicable average Moody’s utility bond index relative to the CCM benchmark is larger than plus or minus 1.000%. Accordingly, if a change of more than plus or minus 1.000% occurs, SDG&E’s, SoCalGas’, or both utilities’ authorized ROE would be adjusted, upward or downward, by one half of the difference between the CCM benchmark and the 12-month average determined during the CCM Period. In addition, the authorized recovery rate for the California Utilities’ cost of debt and preferred equity would be adjusted to their respective actual weighted-average cost, with no change to the authorized capital structure. In the event of a CCM trigger, the CCM benchmark is also re-established. These adjustments would become effective in authorized rates on January 1 of the year following the CCM trigger. The next CCM Period is from October 2020 to September 2021.

SDG&E

FERC Formulaic Rate Filing

In October 2018, SDG&E submitted its TO5 filing to the FERC to establish its transmission revenue requirement, including rate of return, for SDG&E’s FERC-regulated electric transmission operations and assets. In December 2018, the FERC issued its order accepting and suspending SDG&E’s TO5 filing for five months, during which the existing TO4 rates remained in effect, and established hearing and settlement procedures. The suspension period ended on June 1, 2019, when the proposed TO5 rates took effect, subject to refund and the outcome of the rate filing. As a result, the TO4 ROE of 10.05% was the basis of SDG&E’s FERC-related revenue recognition until March 2020, when the FERC approved the settlement terms that SDG&E and all settling parties reached in October 2019.

The settlement agreement provides for a ROE of 10.60%, consisting of a base ROE of 10.10% plus an additional 50 bps for participation in the California ISO. If the FERC issues an order ruling that California IOUs are no longer eligible for the additional California ISO ROE, SDG&E would refund the additional 50 bps of ROE associated with the California ISO as of the refund effective date (June 1, 2019) in this proceeding. The TO5 term is effective June 1, 2019 and shall remain in effect indefinitely, with parties having the annual right to terminate the agreement beginning in 2022.

In the first quarter of 2020, SDG&E recorded retroactive revenues of $12 million related to 2019, and additional FERC revenues of $17 million to conclude a rate base matter, net of certain refunds to be paid to CPUC-jurisdictional customers.

Energy Efficiency Program Inquiry

In January 2020, the CPUC issued a ruling seeking comments on a report prepared by its consultant regarding SDG&E’s Upstream Lighting Program for the program year 2017. The CPUC subsequently expanded the scope of the comments to cover

the program year 2018. The Upstream Lighting Program was one of SDG&E’s Energy Efficiency programs designed to produce energy efficiency savings for which SDG&E could earn a performance-based incentive.

Pursuant to the CPUC ruling, intervenors representing ratepayers have questioned SDG&E’s management of the program and alleged that certain program expenditures did not benefit the purpose of the program. As a result of the inquiry, SDG&E voluntarily expanded its review to include the program year 2019. Based on this review and discussions with intervenors, SDG&E concluded that some concessions were appropriate, which include refunding certain costs and certain performance-based incentives to customers and incurring a fine. Accordingly, in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, SDG&E reduced revenues by $36 million and $51 million, respectively, and recorded a fine of $6 million in Other (Expense) Income, Net, on the SDG&E and Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The after-tax impact for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $29 million and $44 million, respectively. In October 2020, SDG&E executed a settlement agreement with intervenors consistent with these concessions. CPUC approval of the settlement agreement is required.

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% ownership interest. We discuss SONGS further in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

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. We expect the majority of the decommissioning work to take 10 years after receipt of all the required permits. The coastal development permit, the last permit required to be obtained, was issued in October 2019. The Samuel Lawrence Foundation filed a writ petition under the California Coastal Act in LA Superior Court in December 2019 seeking to invalidate this permit and to obtain injunctive relief to stop decommissioning work. In September 2020, the Samuel Lawrence Foundation filed another writ petition under the California Coastal Act in LA Superior Court seeking to set aside the California Coastal Commission’s July 2020 approval of the inspection and maintenance plan for the SONGS’ canisters and to obtain injunctive relief to stop decommissioning work. Major decommissioning work began in 2020 and has not been interrupted by the writ petitions filed by the Samuel Lawrence Foundation. Decommissioning of Unit 1, removed from service in 1992, is largely complete. The remaining work for Unit 1 will be completed once Units 2 and 3 are dismantled and the spent fuel is removed from the site. The spent fuel is currently being stored on-site, until the DOE identifies a spent fuel storage facility and puts in place a program for the fuel’s disposal, as we discuss below. SDG&E is responsible for approximately 20% 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. SDG&E classifies debt and equity securities held in the NDT as available-for-sale. 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 noncurrent Regulatory Liabilities.

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. In March 2020, SDG&E received authorization from the CPUC to access NDT funds of up to $109 million for forecasted 2020 costs.

In September 2020, the IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury published final regulations that clarify the definition of “nuclear decommissioning costs,” which are costs that may be paid for or reimbursed from a qualified trust fund. The final regulations adopted most of the provisions of the proposed regulations issued in December 2016. The final regulations apply to taxable years ending on or after September 4, 2020 and confirm that the definition of “nuclear decommissioning costs” includes amounts related to the storage of spent nuclear fuel at both on-site and off-site ISFSIs.

The final regulations also clarify that costs incurred for ISFSIs that may be or are expected to be reimbursed by the DOE may be paid or reimbursed from a qualified trust fund. Accordingly, the final regulations allow SDG&E the option to access qualified trust funds to recover spent fuel storage 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 below.

The following table shows the fair values and gross unrealized gains and losses for the securities held in the NDT. We provide additional fair value disclosures for the NDT in Note 9.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION AND SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL

The present value of SDG&E’s ARO related to decommissioning costs for the SONGS units was $593 million at September 30, 2020. That amount includes the cost to decommission Units 2 and 3, and the remaining cost to complete the decommissioning of Unit 1, which is substantially complete. The ARO for all three units is based on a cost study prepared in 2017 that is pending CPUC approval. The ARO for Units 2 and 3 reflects the acceleration of the start of decommissioning of these units as a result of the early closure of the plant. SDG&E’s share of total decommissioning costs in 2020 dollars is approximately $860 million.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NUCLEAR FUEL DISPOSAL

Spent nuclear fuel from SONGS is currently stored on-site in an ISFSI licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. In October 2015, the California Coastal Commission approved Edison’s application to expand the ISFSI. The ISFSI expansion began construction in 2016 and the transfer of the spent nuclear fuel from Units 2 and 3 to the ISFSI began in 2018 and was completed in August 2020. The ISFSI will 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. Until then, SONGS owners are responsible for interim storage of spent nuclear fuel at SONGS.

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. In November 2019, Edison filed a claim for spent fuel management costs in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims for the time period from January 2017 through July 2018. It is unclear when Edison will pursue litigation claims for spent fuel management costs incurred on or after August 1, 2018. 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.

NUCLEAR INSURANCE

SDG&E and the other owners of SONGS have insurance to cover claims from nuclear liability incidents arising at SONGS. Currently, 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 an additional $110 million of coverage. If a nuclear liability loss occurs at SONGS and exceeds the $450 million insurance limit, this additional coverage would be available to provide a total of $560 million in coverage limits per incident.

As a result of updated coverage assessments, the SONGS owners have nuclear property damage insurance of $130 million, which exceeds the minimum federal requirements of $50 million. This insurance coverage is provided through NEIL. The NEIL policies have specific exclusions and limitations that can result in reduced 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 $3.5 million of retrospective premiums based on overall member claims.

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) of $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.

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 reasonably estimate 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 September 30, 2020, loss contingency accruals for legal matters, including associated legal fees, that are probable and estimable were $444 million for Sempra Energy Consolidated, including $299 million for SoCalGas. Amounts for Sempra Energy Consolidated and SoCalGas include $273 million for matters related to the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility gas leak, which we discuss below.

SoCalGas

Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak

From October 23, 2015 through February 11, 2016, SoCalGas experienced a natural gas leak from one of the injection-and-withdrawal wells, SS25, at its Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility in Los Angeles County. As described below in “Civil and Criminal Litigation” and “Regulatory Proceedings,” numerous lawsuits, investigations and regulatory proceedings have been

initiated in response to the Leak, resulting in significant costs, which together with other Leak-related costs are discussed below in “Cost Estimates, Accounting Impact and Insurance.”

Civil and Criminal Litigation. As of November 2, 2020, 394 lawsuits, including approximately 36,000 plaintiffs, are pending against SoCalGas related to the Leak, some of which have also named Sempra Energy. All these cases, other than a matter brought by the Los Angeles County District Attorney and the federal securities class action discussed below, are coordinated before a single court in the LA Superior Court for pretrial management.

In November 2017, in the coordinated proceeding, individuals and business entities filed a Third 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 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, wrongful death and violations of Proposition 65 against SoCalGas, with certain causes of action 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. The initial trial previously scheduled for June 2020 for a small number of randomly selected individual plaintiffs was postponed, with a new trial date to be determined by the court.

In January 2017, 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). The Property Class Action asserts claims for strict liability for ultra-hazardous activities, negligence, negligence per se, violation of the California Unfair Competition Law, trespass, permanent and continuing public and private nuisance, and inverse condemnation. The Business Class Action asserts a claim for violation of the California Unfair Competition Law. Both complaints seek compensatory, statutory and punitive damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees.

Three property developers filed complaints in July and October of 2018 against SoCalGas and Sempra Energy alleging causes of action for strict liability, negligence per se, negligence, continuing nuisance, permanent nuisance and violation of the California Unfair Competition Law, as well as claims for negligence against certain directors of SoCalGas. The complaints seek compensatory, statutory and punitive damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees.

In October 2018 and January 2019, complaints were filed on behalf of 51 firefighters stationed near the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility who allege they were injured by exposure to chemicals released during the Leak. The complaints against SoCalGas and Sempra Energy assert causes of actions for 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 and loss of consortium. The complaints seek compensatory and punitive damages for personal injuries, lost wages and/or lost profits, property damage and diminution in property value, and attorney’s fees.

Four shareholder derivative actions are also pending alleging breach of fiduciary duties against certain officers and certain directors of Sempra Energy and/or SoCalGas, three of which were joined in an Amended Consolidated Shareholder Derivative Complaint filed in February 2020.

In addition, a federal securities class action alleging violation of the federal securities laws was filed against Sempra Energy and certain of its officers in July 2017 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. In March 2018, the court dismissed the action with prejudice. The plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal.

In February 2019, the LA Superior Court approved a settlement between SoCalGas and the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office, the County of Los Angeles, the California Office of the Attorney General and CARB of three actions filed by these entities under which SoCalGas made payments and agreed to provide funding for environmental projects totaling $120 million, including $21 million in civil penalties, as well as other safety-related commitments.

In September 2016, SoCalGas settled a misdemeanor criminal complaint filed in February 2016 by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office against SoCalGas, pleading no contest to a charge that it failed 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 2703(a). In November 2016, the LA Superior Court approved the settlement and entered judgment on the notice charge. Under the settlement, SoCalGas paid a $75,000 fine, $233,500 in penalties, and $246,673 to reimburse costs incurred by Los Angeles County Fire Department’s Health and Hazardous Materials Division, as well as completed operational commitments estimated to cost approximately $6 million. Certain individuals who objected to the settlement petitioned the Court of Appeal to vacate the judgment, contending they should be granted restitution. In July 2019, the Court of Appeal denied the petition in part, but remanded the matter to the trial court to give the petitioners an opportunity to

prove damages stemming from only the three-day delay in reporting the Leak. Following the hearing, the trial court denied restitution.

Regulatory Proceedings. In January 2016, CalGEM and the CPUC directed an independent analysis of the technical root cause of the Leak to be conducted by Blade. In May 2019, Blade released its report, which concluded that the Leak was caused by a failure of the production casing of the well due to corrosion and that attempts to stop the Leak were not effectively conducted, but did not identify any instances of non-compliance by SoCalGas. Blade concluded that SoCalGas’ compliance activities conducted prior to the Leak did not find indications of a casing integrity issue. Blade opined, however, that there were measures, none of which were required by gas storage regulations at the time, that could have been taken to aid in the early identification of corrosion and that, in Blade’s opinion, would have prevented or mitigated the Leak. The report also identified well safety practices and regulations that have since been adopted by CalGEM and implemented by SoCalGas, which address most of the root cause of the Leak identified during Blade’s investigation.

In June 2019, the CPUC opened an OII to consider penalties against SoCalGas for the Leak, which it later bifurcated into two phases. The first phase will consider whether SoCalGas violated California Public Utilities Code Section 451 or other laws, CPUC orders or decisions, rules or requirements, whether SoCalGas engaged in unreasonable and/or imprudent practices with respect to its operation and maintenance of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility or its related record-keeping practices, whether SoCalGas cooperated sufficiently with the Safety Enforcement Division (SED) and Blade during the pre-formal investigation, and whether any of the mitigation proposed by Blade should be implemented to the extent not already done. In November 2019, SED, based largely on the Blade report, alleged a total of 330 violations, asserting that SoCalGas violated California Public Utilities Code Section 451 and failed to cooperate in the investigation and to keep proper records. We expect hearings in the first phase of the OII to begin in the first quarter of 2021. The second phase will consider whether SoCalGas should be sanctioned for the Leak and what damages, fines or other penalties or sanctions, if any, should be imposed for any violations, unreasonable or imprudent practices, or failure to sufficiently cooperate with the SED as determined by the CPUC in the first phase. In addition, the second phase will determine the amounts of various costs incurred by SoCalGas and other parties in connection with the Leak and the ratemaking treatment or other disposition of such costs, which could result in little or no recovery of such costs by SoCalGas. SoCalGas is engaged in settlement discussions in connection with this proceeding.

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, but excluding issues with respect to air quality, public health, causation, culpability or cost responsibility regarding the Leak. The first phase of the proceeding established a framework for the hydraulic, production cost and economic modeling assumptions for the potential reduction in usage or elimination of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility. Phase 2 of the proceeding, which will evaluate the impacts of reducing or eliminating the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility using the established framework and models, began in the first quarter of 2019. The CPUC is scheduled to issue its report for Phase 2 by March 31, 2021. In December 2019, the CPUC added a third phase of the proceeding to consider alternative means for meeting or avoiding the demand for the facility’s services if it were eliminated in either 2027 or 2045.

If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were to be permanently closed, or if future cash flows from its operation 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 September 30, 2020, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility had a net book value of $788 million. Any significant impairment of this asset, or higher operating costs and additional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas that may not be recoverable in customer rates, could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Cost Estimates, Accounting Impact and Insurance. SoCalGas has incurred significant costs for temporary relocation of community residents; to control the well and stop the Leak; to mitigate the natural gas released; to purchase natural gas to replace what was lost through the Leak; to defend against and, in certain cases, settle, civil and criminal litigation arising from the Leak; to pay the costs of the government-ordered response to the Leak, including the costs for Blade to conduct the root cause analysis described above; to respond to various government and agency investigations regarding the Leak; and to comply with increased regulation imposed as a result of the Leak. At September 30, 2020, SoCalGas estimates these costs related to the Leak are $1,440 million (the cost estimate), which includes the $1,279 million of costs recovered or probable of recovery from insurance. This cost estimate may increase significantly as more information becomes available. A substantial portion of the cost estimate has been paid, and $268 million is accrued as Reserve for Aliso Canyon Costs and $7 million is accrued in Deferred Credits and Other as of September 30, 2020 on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In the first quarter of 2020, SoCalGas recorded an accrual of $277 million, inclusive of estimated legal costs, of which $177 million was recorded in Insurance Receivable for Aliso Canyon Costs on the SoCalGas and Sempra Energy Condensed

Consolidated Balance Sheets and $100 million ($72 million after tax) was recorded in O&M on the SoCalGas and Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to settlement discussions in connection with the private plaintiffs’ actions described in “Civil and Criminal Litigation” above. SoCalGas continues to monitor and evaluate the status of the private plaintiffs’ actions and the OII described in “Regulatory Proceedings” above and, in the third quarter of 2020, recorded an additional accrual of $27 million ($22 million after tax) in O&M on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. These accruals are included in the cost estimate that we describe above.

Except for the amounts paid or estimated to settle certain actions, as described in “Civil and Criminal Litigation” above, the cost estimate does not include all litigation, regulatory proceedings or regulatory costs to the extent it is not possible to predict at this time the outcome of these actions or reasonably estimate the costs to defend or resolve the actions or the amount of damages, restitution, or civil, administrative or criminal fines, sanctions, penalties or other costs or remedies that may be imposed or incurred. The cost estimate also does not include certain other costs incurred by Sempra Energy associated with defending against shareholder derivative lawsuits and other potential costs that we currently do not anticipate incurring or that we cannot reasonably estimate. These costs not included in the cost estimate could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

We have received insurance payments for many of the costs included in the cost estimate, including temporary relocation and associated processing costs, control-of-well expenses, costs of the government-ordered response to the Leak, certain legal costs and lost gas. We intend to pursue the full extent of our insurance coverage for the costs we have incurred. Other than directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, after taking into consideration the additional accrual related to litigation matters described above, we have exhausted all of our insurance in this matter, except as to certain defense costs we may incur in the future, including those related to the shareholder derivative lawsuits described above. We continue to pursue other sources of insurance coverage for costs related to this matter, but we may not be successful in obtaining additional insurance recovery for any of these costs. If we are not able to secure additional insurance recovery for all or a substantial portion of these costs, if any costs we have recorded as an insurance receivable are not collected, if there are delays in receiving insurance recoveries, or if the insurance recoveries are subject to income taxes while the associated costs are not tax deductible, such amounts, which could be significant, could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

As of September 30, 2020, we recorded the expected recovery of the cost estimate related to the Leak of $504 million as Insurance Receivable for Aliso Canyon Costs on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount is exclusive of insurance retentions and $775 million of insurance proceeds we received through September 30, 2020. If we were to conclude that this receivable or a portion of it is 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.

Energía Costa Azul

IEnova has been engaged in a long-running land dispute relating to property adjacent to its ECA LNG Regasification facility that allegedly overlaps with land owned by the ECA LNG Regasification facility (the facility, however, is not situated on the land that is the subject of this dispute). A claimant to the adjacent property filed complaints in the federal Agrarian Court challenging the refusal of SEDATU in 2006 to issue 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 IEnova challenged the ruling due to lack of notification of the underlying process. In May 2019, a federal court in Mexico reversed the ruling and ordered a retrial.

Four other cases involving two adjacent areas of real property on which part of the ECA LNG Regasification facility is situated, each brought by a single plaintiff or her descendants, remain pending against the facility. The first disputed area is subject to a claim in the federal Agrarian Court that has been ongoing since 2006, in which the plaintiffs seek to annul the property title for a portion of the land on which the ECA LNG Regasification facility is situated and to obtain possession of a different parcel that allegedly overlaps with the site of the ECA LNG Regasification facility. The second disputed area is one parcel adjacent to the ECA LNG Regasification facility that allegedly overlaps with land on which the ECA LNG Regasification facility is situated, which is subject to a claim in the Agrarian Court and two claims in civil courts. The Agrarian Court proceeding, which seeks an order that SEDATU issue title to the plaintiff, was initiated in 2013 and the parties are awaiting a final decision. The two civil court proceedings, which seek to invalidate the contract by which the ECA LNG Regasification facility purchased the applicable parcel of land on which the ECA LNG Regasification facility is situated on the grounds that the purchase price was allegedly unfair, are progressing at different stages. In the first, initiated in 2013, a lower court ruled in favor of the ECA LNG Regasification facility and the ruling has been appealed by the plaintiff. The same plaintiff filed the second civil case in 2019, which is in its initial stages.

Certain of these land disputes involve land on which portions of the proposed ECA LNG liquefaction facility are anticipated to be situated or on which portions of the ECA LNG Regasification facility that would be necessary for the operation of the proposed ECA LNG liquefaction facility are situated.

Several administrative challenges are pending before Mexico’s Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (the Mexican environmental protection agency) and Federal Tax and Administrative Courts, seeking revocation of the environmental impact authorization issued to the ECA LNG Regasification facility 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.

In 2018, two related claimants filed separate challenges in the federal district court in Ensenada, Baja California in relation to the environmental and social impact permits issued by each of Agencia de Seguridad, Energía y Ambiente (ASEA) and SENER to ECA LNG JV authorizing natural gas liquefaction activities at the ECA LNG Regasification facility. In the first case, the court issued a provisional injunction in September 2018. In December 2018, ASEA approved modifications to the environmental permit that facilitate the development of the proposed natural gas liquefaction facility in two phases. In May 2019, the court canceled the provisional injunction. The claimant appealed the court’s decision canceling the injunction, but was not successful. The claimant’s underlying challenge to the permits remains pending. In the second case, the initial request for a provisional injunction was denied. That decision was reversed on appeal in January 2020, resulting in the issuance of a new injunction against the same environmental and social impact permits that were already issued by ASEA and SENER. This injunction has uncertain application absent clarification by the court. The reversal and issuance of the injunction in the second case is under further appeal.

In September 2020, parties claiming a property interest in the land on which the ECA LNG Regasification facility is situated and the proposed ECA LNG liquefaction facility is anticipated to be situated filed an administrative proceeding with the Municipality of Ensenada against the construction permit for the construction of the proposed liquefaction export projects at the ECA LNG Regasification facility. The construction permit has been suspended pending resolution of the claim and the ECA LNG Regasification facility and ECA LNG JV are contesting the validity of the claim.

In May 2020, the two third-party capacity customers at the ECA LNG Regasification facility, Shell Mexico and Gazprom, asserted that a 2019 update of the general terms and conditions for service at the facility, as approved by the CRE, resulted in a breach of contract by IEnova and a force majeure event. Citing these circumstances, the customers subsequently stopped making payments of amounts due under their respective LNG storage and regasification agreements. IEnova has rejected the customers’ assertions and has drawn (and expects to continue to draw) on the customers’ letters of credit provided as payment security. The parties engaged in discussions under the applicable contractual dispute resolution procedures without coming to a mutually acceptable resolution. In July 2020, Shell Mexico submitted a request for arbitration of the dispute. IEnova will avail itself of its available claims, defenses and remedies in the arbitration proceeding. Gazprom has since replenished the amounts drawn on its letter of credit and has resumed making regular monthly payments under its LNG storage and regasification agreement. In October 2020, IEnova was informed by Gazprom of its consent to join the arbitration proceeding initiated by Shell Mexico against the ECA LNG Regasification facility and is awaiting the formalization of Gazprom’s recognition as a claimant party in such arbitration. IEnova intends to enforce its rights in the arbitration process, seeking to dismiss the customers’ claims. Shell Mexico also filed a constitutional challenge to the CRE’s approval of the update to the general terms and conditions. In October 2020, Shell Mexico’s request to stay CRE’s approval was denied and, subsequently, Shell Mexico filed an appeal of that decision.

One or more unfavorable final decisions on these disputes or challenges, could materially and adversely affect our existing natural gas regasification operations and proposed LNG liquefaction projects at the site of the ECA LNG Regasification facility.

Guaymas-El Oro Segment of the Sonora Pipeline

IEnova’s Sonora natural gas pipeline consists of two segments, the Sasabe-Puerto Libertad-Guaymas segment, and the Guaymas-El Oro segment. Each segment has its own service agreement with the CFE. 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 the Sonora natural gas pipeline that crosses its territory. Representatives of the Bácum community filed a legal challenge in Mexican federal court demanding the right to withhold consent for the project, the stoppage of work in the Yaqui territory and damages. In 2016, the judge granted a suspension order that prohibited the construction of such segment through the Bácum community territory. Because the pipeline does not pass through the Bácum community, IEnova did not believe the 2016 suspension order prohibited construction in the remainder of the Yaqui territory. Construction of the Guaymas-El Oro segment was completed, and commercial operations began in May 2017.

Following the start of commercial operations of the Guaymas-El Oro segment, IEnova reported damage to the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline in the Yaqui territory that has made that section inoperable since August 2017 and, as a result, IEnova declared a force majeure event. In 2017, an appellate court ruled that the scope of the 2016 suspension order encompassed

the wider Yaqui territory, which has prevented IEnova from making repairs to put the pipeline back in service. In July 2019, a federal district court ruled in favor of IEnova and held that the Yaqui tribe was properly consulted and that consent from the Yaqui tribe was properly received. Representatives of the Bácum community appealed this decision, causing the suspension order preventing IEnova from repairing the damage to the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline in the Yaqui territory to remain in place until the appeals process is exhausted.

IEnova exercised its rights under the contract, which included seeking force majeure payments for the two-year period such force majeure payments were required to be made, which ended in August 2019.

In July 2019, the CFE filed a request for arbitration generally to nullify certain contract terms that provide for fixed capacity payments in instances of force majeure and made a demand for substantial damages in connection with the force majeure event. In September 2019, the arbitration process ended when IEnova and the CFE reached an agreement to restart natural gas transportation service on the earlier of completion of repair of the damaged pipeline or January 15, 2020, and to modify the tariff structure and extend the term of the contract by 10 years. Subsequently, IEnova and the CFE agreed to extend the service start date to May 15, 2020 and then again to September 15, 2020. In the third quarter of 2020, the parties agreed to further extend the service start date to March 14, 2021. Under the revised agreement, the CFE will resume making payments only when the damaged section of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline is repaired. If the pipeline is not repaired by March 14, 2021 and the parties do not agree on a new service start date, IEnova retains the right to terminate the contract and seek to recover its reasonable and documented costs and lost profits.

If IEnova is unable to make such repairs and resume operations in the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline within this time frame or if IEnova terminates the contract and is unable to obtain recovery, there may be a material adverse impact on Sempra Energy’s results of operations and cash flows and our ability to recover the carrying value of our investment. At September 30, 2020, the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline had a net book value of $446 million. The Sasabe-Puerto Libertad-Guaymas segment of the Sonora pipeline remains in full operation and is not impacted by these developments.

Regulatory Actions by the Mexican Government that Impact Renewable Energy Facilities

In April 2020, Mexico’s CENACE issued an order that it claims would safeguard Mexico’s national power grid from interruptions that may be caused by renewable energy projects. The main provision of the order suspends all legally mandated pre-operative testing that would be needed for new renewable energy projects to commence operations and prevents such projects from connecting to the national power grid until further notice. IEnova’s renewable energy projects affected by the order filed for legal protection through amparo claims (constitutional protection lawsuits) and, in June 2020, received injunctive relief until the claims are resolved by the courts.

In May 2020, Mexico’s SENER published a resolution to establish guidelines intended to guarantee the security and reliability of the national grid’s electricity supply by reducing the threat that it claims is caused by clean, intermittent energy. The resolution includes the following key elements:

▪provides non-renewable electricity generation facilities, primarily non-renewable power plants, preferential access or easier access to Mexico’s national power grid, while increasing restrictions on access to the grid by renewable energy facilities;

▪grants the CRE and CENACE broad authority to approve or deny permits and interconnection requests by producers of renewable energy; and

▪imposes restrictive measures on the renewable energy sector, including requiring all permits and interconnection agreements to include an early termination clause in the event the renewable energy project fails to make certain additional improvements, at the request of the CRE or CENACE, in accordance with a specific schedule.

IEnova’s renewable energy projects, including those in construction and in service, filed amparo claims against the SENER resolution in June 2020 and received injunctive relief in July 2020. In addition, in June 2020, COFECE, Mexico’s antitrust regulator, filed a complaint with Mexico’s Supreme Court against the SENER resolution. COFECE’s complaint was upheld by the court and, pending the court’s final ruling, the decision suspends indefinitely the resolution.

In May 2020, the CRE approved an update to the transmission rates included in legacy renewables and cogeneration energy contracts, based on the claim that the legacy transmission rates did not reflect fair and proportional costs for providing the applicable services and, therefore, created inequitable competitive conditions. Three of IEnova’s renewables’ facilities are currently holders of contracts with such legacy rates, and any increases in the transmission rates would be passed through directly to their customers. IEnova filed amparo claims for its affected facilities and, in August 2020, was granted injunctive relief.

IEnova and other companies affected by these new orders and regulations have challenged the orders and regulations by filing amparo claims, some of which have been granted injunctive relief. The court-ordered injunctions provide relief until Mexico’s Federal District Court ultimately resolves the amparo claims or, with respect to the SENER resolution, until Mexico’s Supreme

Court issues its final ruling on COFECE’s complaint, the timing of which is uncertain. An unfavorable final decision on these amparo challenges, or the potential for an extended dispute, could impact our ability to successfully complete construction of our solar facilities, or to complete them in a timely manner and within expected budgets, may impact our ability to operate our wind and solar facilities already in service at existing levels or at all, and may adversely affect our ability to develop new projects, any of which may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows and our ability to recover the carrying values of our renewable energy investments in Mexico.

In October 2020, the CRE approved a resolution to amend the rules for the inclusion of new offtakers of legacy generation and self-supply permits (the Offtaker Resolution), which became effective immediately. The Offtaker Resolution prohibits self-supply permit holders from adding new offtakers that were not included in the original development or expansion plans, making modifications to the amount of energy allocated to the named offtakers, and including load centers that have entered into a supply arrangement under Mexico’s Electricity Industry Law. Don Diego Solar and Border Solar (two of IEnova’s projects currently in construction) and the Ventika wind power generation facilities are holders of legacy self-supply permits and are impacted by the Offtaker Resolution. If IEnova is not able to obtain legal protection for these impacted facilities, IEnova expects it will sell capacity affected by the Offtaker Resolution into the spot market. Currently, prices in the spot market are significantly lower than the fixed prices in the PPAs that were entered into through self-supply permits. IEnova is evaluating the legal procedures to challenge the Offtaker Resolution.

Other Litigation

RBS Sempra Commodities

Sempra Energy holds an equity method investment in RBS Sempra Commodities, a limited liability partnership in the process of being liquidated. RBS, now NatWest Markets plc, our partner in the JV, paid an assessment of £86 million (approximately $138 million in U.S. dollars) 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 J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. 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. Trial on the matter, which could include the assessment of a penalty of up to 100% of the claimed amount, is scheduled to begin in June 2021.

In 2015, liquidators filed a claim in the High Court of Justice against RBS and Mercuria Energy Europe Trading Limited (the Defendants) on behalf of 10 companies (the Liquidating Companies) that engaged in carbon credit trading via chains that included a company that traded directly with RBS SEE. The claim alleges that the Defendants’ participation in the purchase and sale of carbon credits resulted in the Liquidating Companies’ carbon credit trading transactions creating a VAT liability they were unable to pay, and that the Defendants are liable to provide for equitable compensation due to dishonest assistance and for compensation under the U.K. Insolvency Act of 1986. Trial on the matter was held in June and July of 2018. In March 2020, the High Court of Justice rendered its judgment mostly in favor of the Liquidating Companies and awarded damages of approximately £45 million (approximately $58 million in U.S. dollars at September 30, 2020), plus costs and interest. In October 2020, the High Court of Justice issued an order granting the Defendants permission to appeal its March 2020 judgment to the Court of Appeal, and the Defendants have filed an application for such appeal.

Although the final outcome of both the High Court of Justice case and First-Tier Tribunal case remains uncertain, we recorded $100 million in equity losses from our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities in Equity Earnings on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which represents an estimate of our obligations to settle pending tax matters and related legal costs.

Asbestos Claims Against EFH Subsidiaries

Certain EFH subsidiaries that we acquired as part of the merger of EFH with an indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy are defendants in personal injury lawsuits brought in state courts throughout the U.S. As of November 2, 2020, 275 such lawsuits are pending with 182 such lawsuits having been served. These cases allege illness or death as a result of exposure to asbestos in power plants designed and/or built by companies whose assets were purchased by predecessor entities to the EFH subsidiaries, and generally assert claims for product defects, negligence, strict liability and wrongful death. They seek compensatory and punitive damages. Additionally, in connection with the EFH bankruptcy proceeding, approximately 28,000 proofs of claim were filed on behalf of persons who allege exposure to asbestos under similar circumstances and assert the right to file such lawsuits in the future. We anticipate additional lawsuits will be filed. None of these claims or lawsuits were discharged in the EFH bankruptcy proceeding. The costs to defend or resolve these lawsuits and the amount of damages that may be imposed or incurred could have a material adverse effect on Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

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.

LEASES

We discuss leases further in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

A lease exists when a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception of the contract.

Some of our lease agreements contain nonlease components, which represent activities that transfer a separate good or service to the lessee. As the lessee for both operating and finance leases, we have elected to combine lease and nonlease components as a single lease component for real estate, fleet vehicles, power generating facilities, and pipelines, whereby fixed or in-substance fixed payments allocable to the nonlease component are accounted for as part of the related lease liability and ROU asset. As the lessor, we have elected to combine lease and nonlease components as a single lease component for real estate and power generating facilities if the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease and nonlease components are the same and the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately.

Lessee Accounting

We have operating and finance leases for real and personal property (including office space, land, fleet vehicles, machinery and equipment, warehouses and other operational facilities) and finance leases for PPAs with renewable energy and peaker plant facilities.

We provide supplemental noncash information for operating and finance leases below.

Lessor Accounting

Sempra Mexico is a lessor for certain of its natural gas and ethane pipelines, compressor stations and LPG storage facilities.

Generally, we recognize operating lease income on a straight-line basis over the lease term and evaluate the underlying asset for impairment. Certain of our leases contain rate adjustments or are based on foreign currency exchange rates that may result in lease payments received that vary in amount from one period to the next.

We provide information below for leases for which we are the lessor.

CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS

We discuss below significant changes in the first nine months of 2020 to contractual commitments discussed in Notes 1 and 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Natural Gas Contracts

SoCalGas’ minimum purchase obligations for natural gas have increased by $54 million since December 31, 2019 primarily due to new purchase obligations entered into in the first nine months of 2020. Net future payments are expected to increase by $11 million in 2020, $43 million in 2021 and decrease by negligible amounts thereafter compared to December 31, 2019.

SoCalGas’ interstate pipeline capacity agreement commitments have increased by $597 million since December 31, 2019 primarily due to new capacity agreements entered into in the first nine months of 2020, which replace existing or expiring agreements. Net future payments are expected to decrease by $90 million in 2020, and increase by $17 million in 2021, $88 million in 2022, $100 million in 2023, $90 million in 2024 and $392 million thereafter compared to December 31, 2019.

Sempra LNG’s natural gas contracts and natural gas storage and transportation commitments have increased by $567 million since December 31, 2019, primarily from entering into new storage and transportation contracts in the first nine months of 2020. We expect future payments to decrease by $44 million in 2020, and increase by $73 million in 2021, $38 million in 2022, $34 million in 2023, $30 million in 2024 and $436 million thereafter compared to December 31, 2019.

LNG Purchase Agreement

Sempra LNG has a sale and purchase agreement for the supply of LNG to the ECA LNG Regasification facility. The commitment amount is calculated using a predetermined formula based on estimated forward prices of the index applicable from 2020 to 2029. 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. At September 30, 2020, we expect the commitment amount to decrease by $238 million in 2020, increase by $94 million in 2021, increase by $40 million in 2022, increase by $7 million in 2023, decrease by $12 million in 2024 and decrease by $56 million thereafter (through contract termination in 2029) compared to December 31, 2019, reflecting changes in estimated forward prices since December 31, 2019 and actual transactions for the first nine months of 2020. These LNG commitment amounts are based on the assumption that all LNG cargoes, less those already confirmed to be diverted, under the agreement are delivered. 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.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

SEGMENT INFORMATION

SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have five separately managed reportable segments, as follows:

▪SDG&E provides electric service to San Diego and southern Orange counties and natural gas service to San Diego County.

▪SoCalGas is a natural gas distribution utility, serving customers throughout most of Southern California and part of central California.

▪Sempra Texas Utilities holds our investment in Oncor Holdings, which owns an 80.25% interest in Oncor, a regulated electric transmission and distribution utility serving customers in the north-central, eastern, and western and panhandle regions of Texas; and our indirect, 50% interest in Sharyland Holdings, which owns Sharyland Utilities L.L.C., a regulated electric transmission and distribution utility serving customers near the Texas-Mexico border. As we discuss in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, we acquired our investment in Sharyland Holdings in May 2019.

▪Sempra Mexico develops, owns and operates, or holds interests in, natural gas, electric, LNG, LPG, ethane and liquid fuels infrastructure, and has marketing operations for the purchase of LNG and the purchase and sale of natural gas in Mexico.

▪Sempra LNG develops projects for the export of LNG, holds an interest in a facility for the export of LNG, owns and operates natural gas pipelines, and buys, sells and transports natural gas through its marketing operations, all within the U.S. and Mexico. In February 2019, we completed the sale of our natural gas storage assets at Mississippi Hub and Bay Gas.

In April 2019, Sempra Renewables completed the sale of its remaining wind assets and investments. Upon completion of this sale, remaining nominal business activities at Sempra Renewables were subsumed into Parent and other and the Sempra Renewables segment ceased to exist. The tables below include amounts from Sempra Renewables up until cessation of the segment.

As we discuss in Note 5, the financial information related to our businesses that constituted the Sempra South American Utilities segment is presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The information in the tables below excludes amounts from discontinued operations unless otherwise noted. We completed the sales of our discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2020.

We evaluate each segment’s performance based on its contribution to Sempra Energy’s reported earnings and cash flows. The California Utilities operate in essentially separate service territories, under separate regulatory frameworks and rate structures 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.

The cost of common services shared by the business segments is 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 activities of parent organizations and include certain nominal amounts from our South American businesses that did not qualify for treatment as discontinued operations.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Sempra Energy

Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Sempra Energy, a California-based energy-services holding company, and its consolidated subsidiaries and VIEs. Sempra Global is the holding company for most of our subsidiaries that are not subject to California or Texas utility regulation. Sempra Energy’s businesses were managed within six separate reportable segments until April 2019 and five separate reportable segments thereafter, which we discuss in Note 12. All references in these Notes to our 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 was the primary beneficiary until August 23, 2019, at which time SDG&E deconsolidated the VIE. 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.

In this report, we refer to SDG&E and SoCalGas collectively as the California Utilities.

Basis of Presentation

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,” “us,” “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 (until deconsolidation of Otay Mesa VIE in August 2019); 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 and applicable rules of the SEC. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year or for any other period. We evaluated events and transactions that occurred after September 30, 2020 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, 2019 balance sheet information in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been derived from our audited 2019 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 and the impact of the adoption of new accounting standards on those policies in Note 2 below. We follow the same accounting policies for interim period reporting purposes.

You should read the information in this report in conjunction with the Annual Report.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued OperationsIn January 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses based on our strategic focus on North America. We determined that these businesses, which previously constituted the Sempra South American Utilities segment, and certain activities associated with these businesses, met the held-for-sale criteria. These businesses are presented as discontinued operations, which we discuss further in Note 5, as the sales represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. We completed the sales in the second quarter of 2020. Our discussions in the Notes below relate only to our continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

Credit Loss Policy

We regularly monitor and evaluate credit losses and record allowances for expected credit losses, if necessary, for trade and other accounts receivable using a combination of factors, including past-due status based on contractual terms, trends in write-offs, the age of the receivable, historical and industry trends, counterparty creditworthiness, economic conditions and specific events, such as bankruptcies. We write off financial assets measured at amortized cost in the period in which we determine they are not recoverable. We record recoveries of amounts previously written off when it is known that they will be recovered.For amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates and off-balance sheet arrangements, on a quarterly basis, we evaluate credit losses and record allowances for expected credit losses, if necessary, based on credit quality indicators such as external credit ratings, published default rate studies, the maturity date of the instrument and past delinquencies. However, we do not record allowances for expected credit losses related to accrued interest receivable on loans due from unconsolidated affiliates because we write off such amounts, if any, through a reversal of interest income in the period we determine such amounts are uncollectible. In the absence of external credit ratings, we may utilize an internally developed credit rating based on our analysis of a counterparty’s financial statements to determine our expected credit losses.

Variable Interest Entity Policy

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 the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE.

We will continue to evaluate our VIEs for any changes that may impact our determination of whether an entity is a VIE and if we are the primary beneficiary.

Earnings Per Share Policy

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shares (from both continuing and discontinued operations) 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.The potentially dilutive impact from stock options 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 potentially dilutive impact from the forward sale of our common stock pursuant to forward sale agreements that we entered into in 2018 and fully settled by the end of 2019 is reflected in our diluted EPS calculation using the treasury stock method until settlement. After settlement, those shares are included in weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic EPS. The potentially dilutive impact from mandatory convertible preferred stock is calculated under the if-converted method.We discuss share-based compensation plans and related awards and the terms and conditions of Sempra Energy’s equity securities further in Notes 10, 13 and 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Interim period effective tax rate policy

Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas record income taxes for interim periods utilizing a forecasted ETR anticipated for the full year. Unusual and infrequent items and items that cannot be reliably estimated are recorded in the interim period in which they occur, which can result in variability in the ETR.

Flow-through rate-making treatment tax policy

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 ETR. As a result, changes in the relative size of these items compared to pretax income, from period to period, can cause variations in the ETR. The following items are subject to flow-through treatment:

▪repairs expenditures related to a certain portion of utility plant fixed assets

▪the equity portion of AFUDC, which is non-taxable

▪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

New Accounting Standards

We describe below recent accounting pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”: ASU 2016-13, as amended by subsequently issued ASUs, changes how entities 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 receivables and 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. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption primarily impacted the expected credit losses associated with accounts receivable balances, amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates and off-balance sheet financial guarantees. There was an insignificant impact to SDG&E’s or SoCalGas’ balance sheets from adoption. The following table shows the initial (decreases) increases on Sempra Energy’s balance sheet at January 1, 2020 from adoption of ASU 2016-13.

IMPACT FROM ADOPTION OF ASU 2016-13
(Dollars in millions)
	Sempra Energy
Accounts receivable – trade, net	$	(1)
Due from unconsolidated affiliates – noncurrent	(6)
Deferred income tax assets	4
Other current liabilities	4
Deferred credits and other	2
Retained earnings	(7)
Other noncontrolling interests	(2)

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. We adopted ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2020 and will apply the standard on a prospective basis to our goodwill impairment tests.

ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”: ASU 2019-12 simplifies certain areas of accounting for income taxes. In addition to other changes, this standard amends ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” as follows:

▪removes the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items, including discontinued operations or other comprehensive income;

▪simplifies the recognition of deferred taxes related to basis differences as a result of ownership changes in investments;

▪specifies an entity is not required to allocate the consolidated amount of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements; and

▪requires an entity to reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual ETR computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date.

For public entities, ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The transition method related to the amendments made by ASU 2019-12 varies based on the nature of the change. We will adopt the standard on January 1, 2021 and do not expect it will have a material impact on our financial statements.

ASU 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”: ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications that replace LIBOR or another reference rate affected by reference rate reform and to hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate that is affected or expected to be affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective March 12, 2020 and can be applied through December 31, 2022, with certain exceptions for hedging relationships that continue to exist after this date, and may be applied from January 1, 2020. For contract modifications, the standard allows entities to account for modifications as an event that does not require reassessment or remeasurement (i.e., as a continuation of the existing contract). The standard also allows entities to amend their formal designation and documentation of hedging relationships affected or expected to be affected by reference rate reform, without having to de-designate the hedging relationship. Entities may elect the optional expedients and exceptions on an individual hedging relationship basis and independently from one another. We elected the optional expedients for contract modifications. We elected the cash flow hedging expedients to disregard the potential discontinuation of a reference rate when assessing whether a hedged forecasted interest payment is probable and to disregard certain mismatches between the designated hedging instrument and the hedged item when assessing the hedge effectiveness. We are applying these expedients prospectively from January 1, 2020. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with the past presentation.

ASU 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”: ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. In addition to other changes, this standard amends ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” by removing the accounting models for instruments with beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features. The standard also amends ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” as follows:

▪requires an entity to apply the if-converted method when calculating diluted EPS for convertible instruments and no longer use the treasury stock method, which was previously allowed for certain convertible instruments;

▪requires an entity to include the effect of potential share settlement in the diluted EPS calculation when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares, and no longer allows an entity to rebut the presumption of share settlement if it has a history or policy of cash settlement;

▪requires an entity to include equity-classified convertible preferred stock that contains down-round features whereby, if the down-round feature is triggered, its effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS;

▪clarifies that the average market price should be used to calculate the diluted EPS denominator when the exercise price or the number of shares that may be issued is variable, except for certain contingently issuable shares; and

▪clarifies that the weighted-average share count from each quarter should be used when calculating the year-to-date weighted-average share count.

For public entities, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. An entity can use either a full or modified retrospective approach to adopt ASU 2020-06 and must disclose, in the period of adoption, EPS transition information about the effect of the change on affected per-share amounts. 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.

Derivative Financial Instruments

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.

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 and Sempra LNG 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 Energy-Related Businesses Cost of Sales 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 distribution 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 and greenhouse gas allowances.

In addition to the amounts noted above, we 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 Sempra Energy and its other subsidiaries and JVs, periodically enter into interest rate derivative agreements intended to moderate our exposure to interest rates and to lower our overall costs of borrowing. 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.

FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES

We utilize cross-currency swaps to hedge exposure related to Mexican peso-denominated debt at our Mexican subsidiaries and JVs. 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 JVs 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 JVs, which have U.S. dollar-denominated cash balances, receivables, payables and debt (monetary assets and liabilities) that give rise to Mexican currency 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 for inflation.

We also utilized foreign currency derivatives to hedge exposure to fluctuations in the Peruvian sol and Chilean peso related to the sales of our operations in Peru and Chile, respectively.

Fair Value Measurement Policy

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 valued assets and liabilities, and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. We have not changed the valuation techniques or types of inputs we use to measure recurring fair value since December 31, 2019.

The fair value of commodity derivative assets and liabilities is presented in accordance with our netting policy, as we discuss in Note 8 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 in the tables below include the following (other than a $5 million investment at December 31, 2019, measured at net asset value):

▪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 or income 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 – SDG&E.”

▪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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

▪As we discuss in Note 6, in July 2020, Sempra Energy entered into a Support Agreement for the benefit of CFIN. We measure the Support Agreement, which includes a guarantee obligation, a put option and a call option, net of related guarantee fees, at fair value on a recurring basis. We use a discounted cash flow model to value the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees. Because some of the inputs that are significant to the valuation are less observable, the Support Agreement is classified as Level 3, as we describe below in “Level 3 Information – Sempra LNG.”

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 California ISO, an objective source. Annual auction prices are published once a year, typically in the middle of November, and are the basis for valuing CRRs settling in 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. 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 8.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.

A significant increase (decrease) in market electricity forward prices would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value. We summarize long-term, fixed-price electricity position volumes in Note 8.

Realized gains and losses associated with CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions, which are recoverable in rates, are recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Because unrealized gains and losses are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities, they do not affect earnings.

The fair value of the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees, is based on a discounted cash flow model using a probability of default and survival methodology. Our estimate of fair value considers inputs such as third-party default rates, credit ratings, recovery rates, and risk-adjusted discount rates, which may be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable inputs. Because CFIN’s credit rating and related default and survival rates are unobservable inputs that are

significant to the valuation, the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees, is classified as Level 3. We assigned CFIN an internally developed credit rating of A3 and relied on default rate data published by Moody’s to assign a probability of default. A hypothetical change in the credit rating up or down one notch would not result in a significant change in the fair value of the Support Agreement.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of certain of our financial instruments (cash, 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.

Legal Costs Policy

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 reasonably estimate 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.

Gains and Losses on NDTs

Net unrealized gains and losses, as well as realized gains and losses that are reinvested in the NDT, are included in noncurrent Regulatory Liabilities 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.

Lessee, Leases Policy

Some of our lease agreements contain nonlease components, which represent activities that transfer a separate good or service to the lessee. As the lessee for both operating and finance leases, we have elected to combine lease and nonlease components as a single lease component for real estate, fleet vehicles, power generating facilities, and pipelines, whereby fixed or in-substance fixed payments allocable to the nonlease component are accounted for as part of the related lease liability and ROU asset. As the lessor, we have elected to combine lease and nonlease components as a single lease component for real estate and power generating facilities if the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease and nonlease components are the same and the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately.

Lessor, Leases Policy

Generally, we recognize operating lease income on a straight-line basis over the lease term and evaluate the underlying asset for impairment. Certain of our leases contain rate adjustments or are based on foreign currency exchange rates that may result in lease payments received that vary in amount from one period to the next.

Segment Information

We have five separately managed reportable segments, as follows:

▪SDG&E provides electric service to San Diego and southern Orange counties and natural gas service to San Diego County.

▪SoCalGas is a natural gas distribution utility, serving customers throughout most of Southern California and part of central California.

▪Sempra Texas Utilities holds our investment in Oncor Holdings, which owns an 80.25% interest in Oncor, a regulated electric transmission and distribution utility serving customers in the north-central, eastern, and western and panhandle regions of Texas; and our indirect, 50% interest in Sharyland Holdings, which owns Sharyland Utilities L.L.C., a regulated electric transmission and distribution utility serving customers near the Texas-Mexico border. As we discuss in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, we acquired our investment in Sharyland Holdings in May 2019.

▪Sempra Mexico develops, owns and operates, or holds interests in, natural gas, electric, LNG, LPG, ethane and liquid fuels infrastructure, and has marketing operations for the purchase of LNG and the purchase and sale of natural gas in Mexico.

▪Sempra LNG develops projects for the export of LNG, holds an interest in a facility for the export of LNG, owns and operates natural gas pipelines, and buys, sells and transports natural gas through its marketing operations, all within the U.S. and Mexico. In February 2019, we completed the sale of our natural gas storage assets at Mississippi Hub and Bay Gas.

In April 2019, Sempra Renewables completed the sale of its remaining wind assets and investments. Upon completion of this sale, remaining nominal business activities at Sempra Renewables were subsumed into Parent and other and the Sempra Renewables segment ceased to exist. The tables below include amounts from Sempra Renewables up until cessation of the segment.

As we discuss in Note 5, the financial information related to our businesses that constituted the Sempra South American Utilities segment is presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The information in the tables below excludes amounts from discontinued operations unless otherwise noted. We completed the sales of our discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2020.

We evaluate each segment’s performance based on its contribution to Sempra Energy’s reported earnings and cash flows. The California Utilities operate in essentially separate service territories, under separate regulatory frameworks and rate structures 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.

The cost of common services shared by the business segments is 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.

Earnings Per Share Computations Table

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shares (from both continuing and discontinued operations) 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)    In the three months ended September 30, 2019, due to the dilutive effect of our series A preferred stock, the numerator used to calculate diluted EPS includes an add-back of dividends declared on our series A preferred stock.

(2)    Includes 535 and 618 average fully vested RSUs held in our Deferred Compensation Plan for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 536 and 615 of such RSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 common stock and the comparative indices used to determine the vesting percentage of our total shareholder return performance-based RSUs, which we discuss in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, dilutive RSUs may vary widely from period-to-period.
