Sempra Energy adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures and are shown after-tax, and if applicable, after noncontrolling interests. See Table A in the appendix for information regarding non-GAAP financial measures and descriptions of adjustments above. Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS for the three months and year ended Dec. 31, 2015, have been revised to include after-tax LNG development expenses of $3 million and $10 million, respectively, for consistency with the comparable periods in 2016. LNG development expenses are included in adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS in 2016.

Sempra Energy's fourth-quarter earnings increased to $379 million, or $1.51 per diluted share, in 2016 from $369 million, or $1.47 per diluted share, in 2015. Sempra Energy's adjusted earnings in the fourth quarter 2016 were $383 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, compared with $367 million, or $1.46 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter 2015.

Last week, Sempra Energy's board of directors approved a 9-percent increase in the company's annualized dividend to $3.29 per share from $3.02 per share.

"In 2016, we met our key financial targets and executed well on our strategic plan, positioning ourselves for strong performance in 2017 and enabling us to raise our 2017 earnings guidance," said Debra L. Reed, chairman and CEO of Sempra Energy. "In the past year, we received regulatory approval of our California utilities' General Rate Case, so they have more revenue certainty through 2018. Our utilities also received regulatory approval to proceed with several major reliability projects. Additionally, in 2016, our Mexican subsidiary, IEnova, completed a successful $1.6 billion equity offering to raise capital and we completed the divestiture of several non-strategic assets."  

Sempra Energy has reorganized its subsidiaries under two new operating groups. The Sempra Utilities group includes the company's utility operations: Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas), San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and Sempra South American Utilities. The Sempra Infrastructure group includes the company's energy infrastructure development activities, investments and operations: Sempra Mexico, Sempra LNG & Midstream and Sempra Renewables.

SEMPRA UTILITIES

San Diego Gas & Electric

SDG&E's fourth-quarter earnings increased to $151 million in 2016 from $144 million in 2015, due primarily to higher California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) base margin and lower operating expenses, partially offset by lower regulatory rewards and lower earnings associated with an income-tax tracking mechanism in the utility's final General Rate Case (GRC) decision in 2016. The 2016 GRC final decision requires tracking of tax differences from rate-case-authorized levels.

SDG&E's full-year earnings were $570 million in 2016, compared with $587 million in 2015.

Southern California Gas Co.

In the fourth quarter 2016, SoCalGas' earnings rose to $151 million from $143 million in the fourth quarter 2015, due primarily to higher CPUC base margin and lower operating expenses, as well as higher earnings from the pipeline safety and advanced meter programs. These items were partially offset by lower earnings associated with an income-tax tracking mechanism in SoCalGas' final GRC decision in 2016 and lower regulatory rewards. The 2016 GRC final decision requires tracking of tax differences from rate-case-authorized levels.

SoCalGas' full-year earnings were $349 million in 2016, compared with $419 million in 2015.

Earlier this month, SoCalGas and SDG&E announced that they have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with other parties for a two-year extension through 2018 and 2019 for the utilities to file their next applications in the Cost-of-Capital proceeding at the CPUC. The MOU terms are materially consistent with the Cost-of-Capital assumptions provided for SDG&E and SoCalGas in the five-year financial plan at Sempra Energy's 2016 Analyst Conference. The MOU is subject to approval by the CPUC.

Sempra South American Utilities

In the fourth quarter 2016, Sempra South American Utilities earnings were $29 million, compared with $46 million in the year-ago quarter, due primarily to a $14 million increase in deferred income-tax expense related to Peruvian tax reform. 

In 2016, full-year earnings for Sempra South American Utilities were $156 million, compared with $175 million in 2015.

SEMPRA INFRASTRUCTURE

Sempra Mexico

Sempra Mexico's fourth-quarter 2016 earnings increased to $56 million from $53 million in the fourth quarter 2015.

Sempra Mexico's full-year earnings increased to $463 million in 2016 from $213 million in 2015, due primarily to the $350 million after-tax remeasurement gain in the third quarter 2016 on the Gasoductos de Chihuahua acquisition, offset by $95 million in after-tax losses related to the planned sale of the Termoeléctrica de Mexicali plant, and a lower favorable impact from foreign currency and inflation effects.

In December, Sempra Energy's Mexican operating subsidiary, IEnova, completed its acquisition of the Ventika wind complex in Mexico. The Ventika complex is Mexico's largest wind farm, with generating capacity of 252 megawatts (MW).

Sempra Renewables

Fourth-quarter earnings for Sempra Renewables were $12 million in 2016, compared with $16 million in 2015, primarily due to a $5 million gain on the sale of the Rosamond Solar project in the fourth quarter 2015. 

In 2016, full-year earnings for Sempra Renewables were $55 million, compared with $63 million in 2015.

Sempra Renewables placed three solar facilities and one wind farm into operation in December, representing 422 MW of clean energy from expansions of the company's Mesquite Solar complex in Arizona and Copper Mountain Solar complex in Nevada, as well as commissioning of the Black Oak Getty wind farm in Minnesota.

Sempra LNG & Midstream

Sempra LNG & Midstream recorded a loss of $3 million in the fourth quarter 2016, compared with earnings of $1 million in the fourth quarter 2015.

For the full year, Sempra LNG & Midstream recorded a loss of $107 million in 2016, compared with earnings of $44 million in 2015, due primarily to losses on the permanent release of pipeline capacity contracts.

2017 EARNINGS GUIDANCE

Sempra Energy today increased its 2017 earnings-per-share guidance range to $4.85 to $5.25 from the prior range of $4.80 to $5.20

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Non-GAAP financial measures for Sempra Energy include fourth-quarter and full-year 2016 and 2015 adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share. Additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures is in the appendix on Table A of the fourth-quarter 2016 financial tables.

RECONCILIATION OF SEMPRA ENERGY GAAP EARNINGS TO SEMPRA ENERGY ADJUSTED EARNINGS (Unaudited)

 

Sempra Energy Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share exclude items (after the effects of taxes and, if applicable, noncontrolling interests) in 2016 and 2015 as follows:

 

Three months ended December 31, 2016:

$(4) million deferred income tax expense related to our decision to hold Termoeléctrica de Mexicali (TdM) for sale

Three months ended December 31, 2015:

$2 million reduction in the plant closure loss at San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) related to the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) for the shareholder portion of a settlement agreement with Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited to resolve all of SONGS' insurance claims arising out of the failures of replacement steam generators

   

Year ended December 31, 2016:

$350 million noncash gain from the remeasurement of our equity method investment in GdC

$78 million gain on the sale of EnergySouth

$(123) million losses from the permanent release of pipeline capacity at Sempra LNG & Midstream

$(80) million adjustments related to tax repairs deductions reallocated to ratepayers as a result of the 2016 General Rate Case Final Decision (2016 GRC FD) at the California Utilities

$(27) million impairment charge related to Sempra LNG & Midstream's investment in Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (Rockies Express)

$(5) million deferred income tax expense related to our decision to hold TdM for sale

   

Year ended December 31, 2015:

$36 million gain on the sale of the remaining block of Sempra LNG & Midstream's Mesquite Power plant

$15 million reduction in the plant closure loss related to SONGS, $13 million of which is due to California Public Utilities Commission approval of a compliance filing related to SDG&E's authorized recovery of its investment in SONGS

 

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 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.

Management believes Income (Loss) Before Interest and Tax is a useful measurement of our segments' performance because it can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of our operations exclusive of interest and income tax, neither of which is directly relevant to the efficiency of those operations.

Includes interest income, interest expense and preferred dividends of subsidiary.
