GENERAL INFORMATION AND OTHER FINANCIAL DATA GENERAL INFORMATION AND OTHER FINANCIAL DATA
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
Sempra
Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Sempra and its consolidated entities. Sempra is a holding company whose principal businesses are regulated utilities in California and Texas. Our businesses invest in and operate electric and gas utilities and other energy infrastructure that provide energy services to customers. Sempra has three operating and reportable segments, which we describe in Note 14. 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 common stock is wholly owned by Enova Corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra. SDG&E is a regulated public utility that provides electric service to San Diego and southern Orange counties and natural gas service to San Diego County. SDG&E has one operating and reportable segment.
SoCalGas
SoCalGas’ common stock is wholly owned by Pacific Enterprises, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra. SoCalGas is a regulated public natural gas distribution utility, serving customers throughout most of Southern California and part of central California. SoCalGas has one operating and reportable segment.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
This is a combined report of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas. We provide separate information for SDG&E and SoCalGas as required. We have eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions within Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
We have prepared our 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. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. These adjustments are only of a normal, recurring nature. 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 March 31, 2026 through the date the financial statements were issued and, in the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation.
All December 31, 2025 balance sheet information in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been derived from our audited 2025 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.
The information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report.
REGULATED OPERATIONS
SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ accounting policies and financial statements reflect the application of U.S. GAAP provisions governing rate-regulated operations and the policies of the CPUC and the FERC. 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.
Sempra Infrastructure’s natural gas distribution utility, Ecogas, also applies U.S. GAAP provisions governing rate-regulated operations. Certain business activities at Sempra Infrastructure are regulated by the CNE and the FERC and meet the regulatory accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP.
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
Nonconsolidated VIEs
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 indirectly Sempra, is the primary beneficiary.
SDG&E has agreements under which it purchases power generated by facilities for which it supplies all 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 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.
SDG&E determined that none of its PPAs and tolling agreements resulted in SDG&E being the primary beneficiary of a VIE at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. PPAs and tolling agreements that relate to SDG&E’s involvement with VIEs are primarily accounted for as finance leases. The carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities under these contracts are included in PP&E, net, and finance lease liabilities with balances of $1,101 million and $1,109 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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.
Other Sempra
Nonconsolidated VIEs
Oncor Holdings. Oncor Holdings is a VIE. Sempra is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because of the structural and operational ring-fencing measures, governance mechanisms and commitments 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 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report 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 is $18,243 million and $17,472 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Cameron LNG JV. Cameron LNG JV is a VIE principally due to contractual provisions that transfer certain risks to customers. Sempra is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of Cameron LNG JV, including LNG production and operation and maintenance activities at the liquefaction facility. Therefore, we account for our investment in Cameron LNG JV under the equity method. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of our investment is $1,249 million and $1,259 million, respectively, of which $1,233 million and $1,242 million, respectively, is classified as held for sale (see Note 6). Our maximum exposure to loss, which fluctuates over time, includes the carrying value of our investment and our obligation under the SDSRA, which we discuss in Note 13.
CFIN. As we discuss in Note 13, in July 2020, Sempra entered into the Support Agreement for the benefit of CFIN, which is a VIE. Sempra is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of CFIN, including modification, prepayment, and refinance decisions related to the financing arrangement with external lenders and Cameron LNG JV’s four project owners as well as the ability to determine and enforce remedies in the event of default. 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’s maximum exposure to loss under the terms of the Support Agreement is $979 million.
Consolidated VIEs
ECA LNG Phase 1, Port Arthur LNG I and Port Arthur LNG II are VIEs because their total equity at risk is not sufficient to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support. We expect that these entities will require future capital contributions or other financial support to finance the construction of their respective liquefaction facilities. Sempra is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs because we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance, including construction and future operation and maintenance of the facilities. As a result, we consolidate these VIEs.
Sempra consolidated $16,362 million and $15,950 million of assets at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, consisting primarily of PP&E, net, and restricted cash attributable to these VIEs that could be used only to settle obligations of these VIEs and that are not available to settle obligations of Sempra, and $6,728 million and $6,335 million of liabilities at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, consisting primarily of long-term debt and accounts payable attributable to these VIEs for which creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of Sempra. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, these assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale (see Note 6).
Additionally, IEnova and TotalEnergies SE have provided guarantees for repayment of up to $1,226 million and $305 million, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest, of the loan facility supporting construction of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project (see Note 7). Both SI Partners and ConocoPhillips have provided guarantees relating to their respective affiliate’s commitment to make its pro rata equity share of capital contributions to fund 110% of the development budget of the PA LNG Phase 1 project, in an aggregate amount of up to $9.0 billion (see Note 11). SI Partners’ guarantee covers 70% of this amount plus enforcement costs of its guarantee. SI Partners has committed to fund up to $7.8 billion to PA2 JVCo to support its share of the budgeted PA LNG Phase 2 project construction costs, while Blackstone has committed to fund $7.0 billion (see Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report). SI Partners has also provided a guarantee for repayment of the $300 million credit facility supporting construction of the PA LNG Phase 2 project (see Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report).

CREDIT LOSSES
Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost
We are exposed to credit losses from financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other accounts receivable, amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates, our net investment in sales-type leases and a note receivable.
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 receivables and customer payment patterns, historical and industry trends, counterparty creditworthiness, economic conditions and specific events, such as bankruptcies, pandemics and other factors. 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.
As we discuss below in “Note Receivable,” we have an interest-bearing promissory note due from KKR Pinnacle. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate credit losses and record allowances for expected credit losses on this note receivable, including compounded interest and unamortized transaction costs, based on published default rate studies, the maturity date of the instrument and an internally developed credit rating.
SDG&E and SoCalGas have regulatory mechanisms to recover credit losses and thus record changes in the allowances for credit losses related to accounts receivable that are probable of recovery in regulatory accounts. We discuss regulatory accounts in Note 4.
Changes in allowances for credit losses for trade receivables, other receivables and a note receivable are as follows:

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures
We are exposed to credit losses from off-balance sheet arrangements through Sempra’s guarantees related to the SDSRA and SI Partners’ February 2025 credit support agreement, which we discuss in Note 13. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate credit losses and record liabilities for expected credit losses on our off-balance sheet arrangements based on external credit ratings, published default rate studies and the maturity date of the arrangements. On Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, expected credit losses of $5 million are included in Deferred Credits and Other at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and $1 million and $2 million are included in Liabilities Held for Sale at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, net current amounts due to Sempra from Oncor Holdings related to a tax sharing agreement are $34 million and negligible, respectively. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, net current amounts due from Sempra to Oncor Holdings related to a tax sharing agreement are negligible and $8 million, respectively.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates – current of $4 million and $3 million, respectively, are included in Assets Held for Sale on the Sempra Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, amounts due to unconsolidated affiliates – noncurrent of $485 million and $477 million, respectively, are included in Liabilities Held for Sale on the Sempra Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts relate to U.S. dollar‑denominated loans at fixed interest rates with TAG Pipelines and TAG Norte and a variable interest rate note with IMG, and include outstanding principal, accrued interest, and value‑added tax payable to the Mexican government.

DEDICATED ASSETS IN SUPPORT OF CERTAIN BENEFITS PLANS
In support of its Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, Cash Balance Restoration Plan and Employee and Director Savings Plan, Sempra maintains dedicated assets, including a Rabbi Trust and investments in life insurance contracts, which totaled $588 million and $605 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
WILDFIRE FUND AND CONTINUATION ACCOUNT
2019 Wildfire Legislation
In July 2019, the 2019 Wildfire Legislation was signed into law to address certain issues related to catastrophic wildfires in California and their impact on electric IOUs through the establishment of the Wildfire Fund. We discuss the 2019 Wildfire Legislation and related Wildfire Fund further in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
In April 2026, a participating IOU publicly disclosed that it has received, or expects to receive, approximately $1.27 billion in aggregate reimbursements from the Wildfire Fund for eligible claims related to wildfires that occurred in 2019 and 2021. Also in April 2026, another participating IOU publicly disclosed it has received, or expects to receive, approximately $295 million in aggregate reimbursements from the Wildfire Fund for losses incurred and expected to be incurred in connection with one of the LA Fires, the cause of which remains under investigation and has not been conclusively determined. The administrator of the Wildfire Fund has confirmed that this wildfire qualifies as a “covered wildfire” for purposes of accessing the Wildfire Fund, and the scope of potential damages caused by this fire could materially reduce or exhaust the Wildfire Fund. The participating IOU stated that it is currently unable to reasonably estimate a range of potential losses associated with this event. Accordingly, SDG&E is unable to estimate a range of potential loss resulting from any reduction in available coverage from the Wildfire Fund. The carrying value of SDG&E’s Wildfire Fund asset totaled $253 million at March 31, 2026.
In March 2026, SDG&E received its annual wildfire certificate, formerly known as a safety certification, from the OEIS.
2025 Wildfire Legislation
In September 2025, the 2025 Wildfire Legislation was signed into law to establish, among other things, the Continuation Account, a new state-administered account with up to $18.0 billion of additional liquidity to reimburse catastrophic wildfire-related claims incurred by participating California electric IOUs, including SDG&E, if certain conditions are met. We discuss the 2025 Wildfire Legislation and related Continuation Account further in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
NOTE RECEIVABLE
In November 2021, Sempra loaned $300 million to KKR Pinnacle in exchange for an interest-bearing promissory note that is due in full no later than October 2029 and bears compound interest at 5% per annum, which may be paid quarterly or added to the outstanding principal at the election of KKR Pinnacle. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Other Long-Term Assets includes $372 million and $368 million, respectively, of outstanding principal, compounded interest and unamortized transaction costs, net of allowance for credit losses, on Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
At the closing of the planned sale of a portion of our equity interest in SI Partners, which we discuss in Note 6, Sempra and the KKR Partners will amend this promissory note to, among other things, extend its maturity date and increase its interest rate to 8.5% per annum before January 1, 2031 and 10.0% thereafter through a due date seven years and 91 days after the closing.

PENSION AND PBOP
Special Termination Benefits
In the first quarter of 2026, certain eligible employees elected to retire in the second quarter of 2026 under a VREP and will receive an additional postretirement health benefit in the form of a $100,000 Health Reimbursement Account. Employees eligible to participate in the VREP consisted of:
SDG&E and SoCalGas non-represented employees aged 62 years or older with five years of service or ages 55 to 61 with 10 years of service as of April 30, 2026
SoCalGas represented employees aged 65 years or older with five years of service or ages 55 to 64 with 15 years of service as of April 30, 2026
We accounted for the benefit obligation attributable to the Health Reimbursement Account as a special termination benefit. This resulted in increases to the recorded liability for PBOP and net periodic benefit cost of $18 million for Sempra, $6 million for SDG&E and $12 million for SoCalGas in the three months ended March 31, 2026.
SDG&E also offered a similar program to represented employees aged 62 years or older with five years of service or ages 55 to 61 with 10 years of service as of June 30, 2026. Eligible employees have until May 15, 2026 to make their elections. SDG&E will account for this special termination benefit obligation attributable to the Health Reimbursement Account in the second quarter of 2026.
Partial Plan Termination
In connection with the planned sale of a portion of our equity interest in SI Partners, which we discuss in Note 6, Sempra entered into an agreement to contribute Sempra Services Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra, to SI Partners. Sempra Services Corporation employs U.S. employees performing services for SI Partners and is a participating employer in Sempra’s noncontributory defined benefit pension and PBOP plans. Upon closing the sale, which we expect to occur in the second or third quarter of 2026, Sempra Services Corporation will cease to be a participating employer in Sempra’s pension and PBOP plans. This will result in a partial termination of Sempra’s pension plan due to a reduction in the number of active participants by more than 20%. All impacted participants will be fully vested in their pension benefits as of the termination date. We expect to recognize the financial statement impact, which is currently probable but not estimable, including adjustments to pension and PBOP liabilities, AOCI, curtailment and special termination benefit accounting at the close of the sale. The financial impact for settlement accounting will be recognized when the lump sum payout crosses the annual settlement threshold.

Sempra, 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 that will be flowed through to customers in the future, 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. Items subject to flow-through treatment include:
repairs expenditures related to certain utility plant fixed assets
the equity component of AFUDC, which is non-taxable
cost of removal related to certain utility plant assets
utility self-developed software expenditures
depreciation related to certain utility plant assets
state income taxes
AFUDC related to equity recorded for regulated construction projects at Sempra Infrastructure has similar flow-through treatment.
In the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized an income tax benefit of $33 million to adjust deferred income tax liabilities primarily related to outside basis differences in our investment in SI Partners for foreign subsidiaries that are no longer considered to be indefinitely reinvested and an income tax benefit of $3 million ($2 million after NCI) for a Mexican deferred income tax liability on our outside basis difference in Ecogas as a result of classifying these assets as held for sale, which we discuss in Note 6.
