Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue: Consolidated revenues increased 2% year-over-year (YoY) to $6.802 billion. Sempra California revenues rose due to higher CPUC-authorized base revenues, while Sempra Infrastructure revenues increased 4% driven by asset optimization and LNG storage agreements.
- Earnings: Earnings attributable to common shares decreased 10% YoY to $1.367 billion.
- Sempra California: Earnings increased 9% YoY ($983 million) driven by higher CPUC base operating margins and income tax benefits.
- Sempra Texas Utilities: Earnings decreased 8% YoY ($354 million) due to higher interest and depreciation expenses at Oncor Holdings.
- Sempra Infrastructure: Earnings decreased 48% YoY ($218 million) primarily due to a $202 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency and inflation effects in Mexico and a $26 million tax expense related to the Ecogas divestiture.
- Costs: Cost of natural gas decreased 2% YoY due to lower volumes offset by higher prices. Cost of electric fuel decreased 42% YoY due to lower purchased power costs and reduced demand.
- Interest Expense: Increased 29% YoY to $792 million, driven by higher debt balances and unrealized losses on interest rate swaps related to the Port Arthur LNG project.
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
- Capital Plan: Sempra expects total capital expenditures for PP&E and investments in 2025 to be approximately $12.1 billion.
- Divestitures:
- Ecogas: Management committed to a plan to sell Ecogas (Mexico natural gas utility) in Q2/Q3 2026. Assets are classified as held for sale.
- SI Partners: Sempra initiated a process to sell a portion (15-30%) of its 70% equity interest in SI Partners, with completion expected in Q2/Q3 2026.
- Regulatory Matters:
- CPUC GRC: The 2024 General Rate Case (GRC) Final Decision is effective retroactively to Jan 1, 2024. Track 2 (wildfire mitigation) and Track 3 (safety/reliability) requests are pending, with decisions expected in late 2025 and early 2026.
- FERC: SDG&E is appealing a FERC order requiring a refund of the California ISO adder. A new TO6 filing proposes a higher Return on Equity (ROE) effective June 1, 2025.
- Project Updates:
- Port Arthur LNG (PA LNG): Construction continues. A fatal incident involving three employees occurred in April 2025; Sempra expects indemnification from the EPC contractor (Bechtel).
- ECA LNG Phase 1: Construction is on track for commercial operations in summer 2026. Loan maturity was extended to December 2027.
- Risks: Significant exposure to foreign currency and inflation in Mexico, potential impacts of U.S. tariffs on construction costs, and wildfire liability risks (LA Fires) impacting the Wildfire Fund.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Ecogas Sale: Verify the timeline and valuation assumptions for the pending sale of Ecogas and the associated tax impacts.
- Wildfire Fund Exposure: Assess the potential impact of the LA Fires (Palisades/Eaton) on the Wildfire Fund and SDG&E's liability exposure if the fund is exhausted.
- Foreign Currency Impact: Review the sensitivity of Sempra Infrastructure earnings to Mexican peso fluctuations and inflation, which caused a $202 million negative variance in the first half of 2025.
- PA LNG Construction: Monitor the status of the April 2025 construction incident, potential litigation, and any schedule/cost impacts on the 2027/2028 commercial operation dates.
- Regulatory Recovery: Track the status of SDG&E and SoCalGas Track 2 and Track 3 cost recovery requests with the CPUC, which could significantly impact future revenue requirements.
- Debt Maturities: Review the $38.6 billion total debt load and upcoming maturities, particularly the refinancing of the ECA LNG Phase 1 loan.
