Sempra Energy adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. See Table A in the second-quarter financial tables for information regarding non-GAAP financial measures and descriptions of adjustments above. Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015, have been revised to include after-tax LNG development expenses of $1 million and $5 million, respectively, for consistency with the comparable periods in 2016. LNG development expenses are included in adjusted earnings in 2016.

Adjusted earnings in the second quarter 2016 were $200 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, compared with $259 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2015. The lower adjusted earnings in this year's second quarter were due primarily to $19 million of after-tax losses in the second quarter 2016, compared with gains of $5 million after-tax in second quarter 2015, both resulting from natural gas price movements on inventories sold forward at Sempra U.S. Gas & Power.  The majority of these losses related to natural gas prices are expected to reverse by year-end.  Additional items impacting second-quarter 2016 results were lower equity earnings of $8 million after tax related to the sale of the company's stake in the Rockies Express Pipeline (REX) and recording by Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) of an after-tax impairment of $13 million associated with the final decision by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) on the proposed North-South Pipeline.  In last year's second quarter, SoCalGas had $13 million higher after-tax earnings from a retroactive rate base increase approved by the CPUC in April 2015.  

Sempra Energy's earnings for the first six months of 2016 were $335 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, compared with $732 million, or $2.91 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2015.  Adjusted earnings for the first six months of 2016 were $591 million, or $2.35 per diluted share, compared with $683 million, or $2.72 per diluted share, in the same period last year.

On June 23, the CPUC issued a final General Rate Case decision for San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and SoCalGas for 2016-18 that, largely, was consistent with the settlement agreements entered into last year by the two utilities.  The impact of the 2016 authorized margin now has been recorded retroactive to Jan. 1, 2016.

"We are pleased to have received the final rate case decision for our California utilities from the CPUC and to have completed the sale of our stake in the Rockies Express Pipeline during the quarter," said Debra L. Reed, chairman and CEO of Sempra Energy.  "With the addition of the Mexican marine pipeline and the acquisition of a new wind farm in Michigan, we continue to add new projects both domestically and internationally that support our long-term growth strategy.  We expect to meet our adjusted earnings-per-share guidance for 2016 of $4.60 to $5 and to achieve approximately 12-percent compound annual adjusted earnings-per-share growth from 2016 through 2020."

CALIFORNIA UTILITIES

San Diego Gas & Electric 

Second-quarter 2016 earnings for SDG&E were $100 million, compared with $126 million in the second quarter 2015.  In the most recent quarter, due to the final General Rate Case decision, SDG&E recorded a $31 million after-tax refund to ratepayers of benefits from tax repairs deductions, offset by a $9 million after-tax retroactive benefit for first-quarter 2016 earnings.  

For the first six months of 2016, SDG&E's earnings were $229 million, compared with $273 million in the same period last year.

Southern California Gas Co.

In the second quarter 2016, SoCalGas recorded a net loss of $1 million, compared with earnings of $70 million in last year's second quarter.  In the most recent quarter, due to the final General Rate Case decision, SoCalGas recorded a $49 million after-tax refund to ratepayers of benefits from tax repairs deductions, offset by a $12 million after-tax retroactive benefit for first-quarter 2016 earnings.  SoCalGas also recorded an after-tax impairment of $13 million in the second quarter 2016 related to the CPUC's recent decision denying the proposed North-South Pipeline. 

In the first half of 2016, SoCalGas' earnings were $194 million, compared with $284 million in the first half of 2015.

SoCalGas today said its updated estimate of certain costs related to the Aliso Canyon natural gas leak is $717 million, $679 million of which has been recorded as an insurance receivable at June 30, 2016.  SoCalGas has begun collecting insurance recoveries, with $34 million collected to date.

SEMPRA INTERNATIONAL

Sempra South American Utilities

In the second quarter 2016, Sempra South American Utilities had earnings of $43 million, compared with $45 million in the second quarter 2015.    

For the first six months of 2016, earnings for Sempra South American Utilities were $81 million, compared with $86 million in the first six months last year.         

Sempra Mexico

Sempra Mexico's second-quarter earnings increased to $57 million in 2016 from $50 million in 2015, due primarily to favorable foreign currency effects. 

For the first six months of 2016, Sempra Mexico had earnings of $74 million, compared with $97 million in the same period last year, primarily due to a $26 million deferred tax charge in 2016 associated with holding the Termoeléctrica de Mexicali power plant for sale.

Last month, Sempra Energy's Mexican subsidiary, IEnova, announced a restructured agreement to purchase PEMEX's 50-percent interest in its joint venture. Originally announced last year, the estimated $1.1 billion transaction involves IEnova's acquisition from the joint venture of three natural gas pipelines, an ethane pipeline, a liquid petroleum gas (LPG) pipeline and a LPG storage terminal.  The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter 2016, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. 

In June, IEnova announced that its Infraestructura Marina del Golfo joint venture with TransCanada Corp. – owned 60 percent by TransCanada and 40 percent by IEnova – was awarded a contract by Mexico's Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) to build, own and operate a 497-mile, $2.1 billion marine pipeline to transport natural gas between Tuxpan, Veracruz, and Brownsville, Texas. The project, which has an anticipated in-service date of late 2018, will provide natural gas to new and existing CFE power plants under a 25-year capacity contract.

SEMPRA U.S. GAS & POWER

Sempra Renewables

Second-quarter 2016 earnings for Sempra Renewables were $12 million, compared with $19 million in 2015, due primarily to lower investment tax credits from solar projects placed into service last year.

In the first half of 2016, earnings for Sempra Renewables were $25 million, compared with $32 million in the first half of last year, due primarily to the lower investment tax credits. 

Last month, Sempra U.S. Gas & Power announced its acquisition of the 100-megawatt Apple Blossom wind project in Michigan from Geronimo Energy, LLC.  The project, fully contracted under a 15-year agreement, is expected to be completed by year-end 2017.

Sempra Natural Gas

In the second quarter 2016, Sempra Natural Gas recorded a net loss of $149 million, compared with earnings of $40 million in the second quarter 2015, due primarily to three factors:  a $123 million after-tax loss on permanent releases of pipeline capacity; $8 million in lower equity earnings after tax, due to the sale of Sempra U.S. Gas & Power's 25-percent stake in the REX Pipeline; and $19 million in after-tax losses in the second quarter 2016, compared with after-tax gains of $5 million in second quarter 2015, both resulting from natural gas price movements on inventories sold forward. The company expects the majority of these losses related to natural gas prices will be reversed by year-end. The REX sale was completed in May with cash proceeds of $443 million.  In last year's second quarter, Sempra Natural Gas recorded a $36 million after-tax gain related to the sale of the second block of the Mesquite Power facility. 

For the first six months of 2016, Sempra Natural Gas recorded a net loss of $185 million, compared with earnings of $42 million in the first six months of 2015. 

2016 ADJUSTED EARNINGS GUIDANCE

Sempra Energy today reaffirmed its 2016 adjusted earnings-per-share guidance range of $4.60 to $5.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Non-GAAP financial measures include Sempra Energy's adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share for both the second quarter and first six months of 2016 and 2015.  Sempra Energy's adjusted earnings guidance for 2016, along with the projected adjusted earnings-per-share compound annual growth rate from 2016 to 2020, also are non-GAAP financial measures. Information regarding these non-GAAP measures is in the appendix on Table A of the second-quarter financial tables.

Sempra Energy Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are non-GAAP financial measures (GAAP represents accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America). Because of the significance and nature of these items, management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a more meaningful comparison of the performance of Sempra Energy's business operations from 2016 to 2015 and to future periods, and also as a base for projection of future earnings-per-share compound annual growth rate (EPS CAGR) from 2016 to 2020. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplementary information that should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The table below reconciles for historical periods these non-GAAP financial measures to Sempra Energy Earnings and Diluted Earnings Per Common Share, which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

the $27 million after-tax Rockies Express impairment charge ($44 million pretax) recorded in the first quarter of 2016; and

   •

any impact from the adoption of new accounting standards in 2016.


Sempra Energy 2016 Adjusted Earnings-Per-Share Guidance is a non-GAAP financial measure. Because of the significance and nature of the excluded items, management believes this non-GAAP measure provides better clarity into the ongoing results of the business and the comparability of such results to prior and future periods and also as a base for projected earnings-per-share CAGR. Projected Adjusted Earnings-Per-Share CAGR for 2016-2020 is a non-GAAP financial measure because it is based on the 2016 Adjusted Earnings Guidance Range. Sempra Energy 2016 Adjusted Earnings-Per-Share Guidance should not be considered an alternative to diluted earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP. As the operating assets that will be included in the GdC transaction are yet to be confirmed by the applicable Mexican regulatory authority, and the valuation of such assets is not finalized, a gain cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. In addition, an agreement for the sale of the TdM plant has yet to be obtained. As a result, any potential earnings impact, other than the TdM deferred income tax expense recorded in the first six months of 2016, from these transactions cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. We are also not able to estimate the impact from the adoption of new accounting standards in 2016 through 2020, including Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" and related clarifying ASUs and ASU 2016-02, "Leases." Accordingly, we are not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent to our 2016 Adjusted Earnings-Per-Share Guidance or our Projected Adjusted Earnings-Per-Share CAGR from 2016 to 2020.
