SAN DIEGO, Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE) today reported 2011 earnings of $1.4 billion, or $5.62 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $739 million, or $2.98 per diluted share, in 2010.

Sempra Energy's adjusted earnings in 2011 were $1.1 billion, or $4.47 per diluted share, up approximately 14 percent from 2010 adjusted earnings of $974 million, or $3.93 per diluted share.  The company's 2011 adjusted earnings excluded a second-quarter 2011 gain of $277 million related to the South American utility acquisitions.  In 2010, Sempra Energy's adjusted earnings excluded a $139 million charge for a write-down on the RBS Sempra Commodities investment and an after-tax litigation charge of $96 million.

In the fourth quarter 2011, Sempra Energy's earnings were $292 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, compared with $280 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, in the prior year's quarter.  

Also this morning, Sempra Energy announced that the company's board of directors has approved a 25-percent increase in the quarterly dividend on shares of the company's common stock to $0.60 per share, or $2.40 per share on an annualized basis, from $0.48 per share, or $1.92 per share on an annualized basis.  While this increase represents a higher payout target than the board previously established, the board reaffirmed a target payout ratio of 45 percent to 50 percent over the long term.  The first quarterly installment of the new dividend is payable April 15, 2012, to shareholders of record on March 26, 2012.

"We are extremely pleased with our 2011 financial results," said Debra L. Reed, chief executive officer of Sempra Energy.  "All of our businesses continue to perform well.  We exceeded our financial objectives for the year and, earlier today, we announced a significant increase in our dividend to shareholders.  We also have restructured our organization to enhance the integration of our assets."

On Jan. 1, as announced previously, Sempra Energy consolidated Sempra Generation, Sempra Pipelines & Storage and Sempra LNG into two new operating units:  Sempra International and Sempra U.S. Gas & Power.  Beginning in the first quarter 2012 and going forward, Sempra Energy will report earnings from its four principal operating units:  San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E), Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas), Sempra International and Sempra U.S. Gas & Power.

SUBSIDIARY OPERATING RESULTS

San Diego Gas & Electric

Earnings for SDG&E increased to $431 million in 2011 from $369 million in 2010.   SDG&E's fourth-quarter 2011 earnings were $158 million, up from $105 million in 2010, primarily due to favorable resolution of regulatory matters, earnings from construction projects in progress and higher authorized margin.  The higher authorized margin in the fourth quarter reflected the transfer of the El Dorado Energy natural gas-fired power plant to SDG&E from Sempra Generation in October 2011.  

Southern California Gas Co.

SoCalGas earned $287 million in 2011, compared with $286 million in 2010.  In the fourth quarter 2011, SoCalGas earned $79 million, compared with $74 million in the fourth quarter 2010.    

Sempra Generation

Sempra Generation's 2011 earnings were $137 million, up from $103 million in 2010.  Sempra Generation recorded a loss of $6 million in the fourth quarter 2011, compared with earnings of $43 million in the fourth quarter 2010, due primarily to the expiration of the 10-year California Department of Water Resources power-supply contract in September 2011.

In December 2011, the California Public Utilities Commission approved a 25-year contract for Sempra Generation to sell 150 megawatts (MW) of renewable power from its Copper Mountain Solar 2 project in Nevada to Pacific Gas and Electric.  Construction has begun on the 1,100-acre solar project and the first 92 MW of solar panels are expected to be installed by the end of January 2013.

Last month, Sempra U.S. Gas & Power announced an expansion of its strategic relationship with BP Wind Energy to develop wind farms in Pennsylvania and Kansas representing a combined investment by both companies of more than $1 billion.  The two wind farms are expected to be completed by the end of 2012 and have a combined total output of 560 MW.

Sempra Pipelines & Storage

Earnings for Sempra Pipelines & Storage increased to $527 million in 2011 from $159 million in 2010.   Sempra Pipelines & Storage recorded a $277 million gain in the second quarter 2011 from the South American utility acquisitions.  Fourth-quarter earnings for Sempra Pipelines & Storage were $70 million, up from $39 million in 2010.   The higher fourth-quarter earnings were due primarily to additional earnings from Sempra Pipelines & Storage's acquisition of the controlling interest in the South American utilities in April 2011.

Sempra LNG

In 2011, Sempra LNG earnings increased to $99 million from $68 million in 2010.  In 2011, Sempra LNG benefited from marketing activities and additional revenues from contracted cargoes that were not delivered.

In the fourth quarter 2011, Sempra LNG's earnings rose to $24 million from $18 million in the prior-year's fourth quarter.  

2012 Guidance

Effective Jan. 1, Sempra Energy adopted the deferral accounting method for the company's solar-generation projects.  Previously, Sempra Energy employed flow-through accounting for its solar projects, recognizing the tax benefits in the year each project was placed into service.  Now, the tax benefits will be recognized over the life of the projects.  This change in accounting will have no impact on the economics of the projects and will result in a more even earnings profile.  

Reflecting the impact of this accounting change, Sempra Energy today announced a new 2012 earnings-per-share guidance range of $4.00 to $4.30.

Internet Broadcast

Sempra Energy will broadcast a live discussion of its earnings results over the Internet today at 1 p.m. EST with senior management of the company.  Access is available by logging onto the Web site at www.sempra.com.  For those unable to log onto the live webcast, the teleconference will be available on replay a few hours after its conclusion by dialing (888) 203-1112 and entering passcode 3475513.

Sempra Energy, based in San Diego, is a Fortune 500 energy services holding company with 2011 revenues of $10 billion.  The Sempra Energy companies' 17,500 employees serve more than 31 million consumers worldwide.

RECONCILIATION OF SEMPRA ENERGY GAAP EARNINGS TO SEMPRA ENERGY ADJUSTED

 

EARNINGS AND 2011 EARNINGS PER SHARE GUIDANCE EXCLUDING GAIN FROM

 

REMEASUREMENT OF EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS (Unaudited)

 
                 

Sempra Energy Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share and earnings per share guidance in 2011 excluding a $277 million gain from the remeasurement of equity method investments in Chilquinta Energia and Luz del Sur in the second quarter of 2011 are non-GAAP financial measures (GAAP represents accounting principles generally accepted in the United States). Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share in 2010 exclude a $139 million write-down of our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities in the third quarter and a $96 million charge for a litigation settlement in the first quarter. Statistics using these amounts, including percentage changes from period to period, also result in non-GAAP measures. 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 2011 to 2010 and to future periods. Accordingly, 2011 guidance of $4 to $4.30 per diluted share excludes the second quarter gain of $277 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, based on shares outstanding through December 31, 2011. 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.
