Sempra Energy Announces First-Quarter 2016 Financial Results
- 2016 Adjusted Earnings-Per-Share Guidance Range Revised to $4.60 to $5.00 With Pending Sale of Rockies Express Stake
- Company Sets 2020 Earnings-Per-Share Guidance Range at $7.20 to $7.80

SAN DIEGO, May 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE) today reported first-quarter 2016 earnings of $319 million, or $1.27 per diluted share, compared with $437 million, or $1.74 per diluted share, in the first quarter 2015.

Sempra Energy's first-quarter 2016 results included a $27 million after-tax loss related to the previously announced agreement to sell Sempra U.S. Gas & Power's stake in the Rockies Express Pipeline (REX) and $24 million of deferred tax expense related to the planned sale of the Termoeléctrica de Mexicali power plant. Sempra Energy's first-quarter 2015 results reflected a $13 million after-tax benefit due to the reduction in the loss related to the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) closure, offset by $4 million after-tax in liquefied natural gas (LNG) development expenses. Excluding these items, Sempra Energy's adjusted earnings were $370 million, or $1.47 per diluted share, in the first quarter 2016, compared with $428 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, in the first quarter 2015.

Both GAAP and adjusted earnings in the first quarter 2016 were impacted by the delay of a final 2016-18 General Rate Case decision from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E). Revenues for SoCalGas and SDG&E currently are being recorded based on 2015 authorized amounts and, when the CPUC issues a final decision, the impact of the 2016 authorized margin will be recorded retroactive to Jan. 1, 2016.

"While we have not yet received a proposed decision from the CPUC in the General Rate Case for our California utilities, we expect that, when issued, the decision will be consistent with the settlement agreements SDG&E and SoCalGas filed last fall," said Debra L. Reed, chairman and CEO of Sempra Energy. "Based on this expectation, we believe we are on track to meet our new, revised adjusted earnings guidance for 2016, which reflects the loss of future earnings from the pending sales of our interest in the Rockies Express Pipeline and our Southeastern utilities. Going forward, we expect our five-year performance plan to generate 12-percent compound annual adjusted earnings growth from 2016 through 2020 – about twice the growth rate of the utility average."

CALIFORNIA UTILITIES

Southern California Gas Co.

Earnings for SoCalGas were $195 million in the first quarter 2016, compared with $214 million in the first quarter 2015, due primarily to higher non-refundable operating costs, including depreciation and litigation.  Additionally, in last year's first quarter, the CPUC awarded SoCalGas $8 million in gas cost incentives related to the 2014 program year.

While there was no material impact on first-quarter 2016 earnings, SoCalGas today said its updated estimate of the costs related to the Aliso Canyon leak is $665 million. Concurrently, the company has recorded an insurance receivable of $660 million.

San Diego Gas & Electric

First-quarter earnings for SDG&E were $129 million in 2016, compared with $147 million in the first quarter 2015. Last year's first-quarter results included the $13 million after-tax reduction in the loss related to the SONGS closure.

SEMPRA INTERNATIONAL

Sempra Mexico

Sempra Mexico had first-quarter earnings of $17 million in 2016, compared with $47 million in 2015, primarily due to foreign currency effects and the $24 million in deferred tax expense in 2016 related to the planned sale of the Termoeléctrica de Mexicali power plant in Baja California, Mexico.  Sempra Energy's Mexican subsidiary, IEnova, announced the planned sale of the plant in February.

Sempra South American Utilities

Earnings for Sempra South American Utilities were $38 million in the first quarter 2016, compared with $41 million in the first quarter 2015, primarily due to foreign-currency translation effects. 

SEMPRA U.S. GAS & POWER

Sempra Renewables

Sempra Renewables had first-quarter earnings of $13 million in 2016, unchanged from last year's first quarter.

Sempra Natural Gas

Sempra Natural Gas recorded a loss of $36 million in the first quarter 2016, compared with earnings of $2 million in the first quarter 2015.

Last week, Sempra U.S. Gas & Power announced that it signed a definitive agreement to sell its natural gas utility operations in the Southeastern U.S. Cash proceeds to Sempra U.S. Gas & Power are expected to be $323 million, subject to normal closing adjustments, and the buyer will assume existing debt of $67 million. Sempra U.S. Gas & Power expects to record an after-tax gain of approximately $70 million on the sale upon closing.

On March 29, Sempra U.S. Gas & Power announced an agreement to sell its 25-percent stake in REX for $440 million in cash. The company recorded an after-tax loss of $27 million in the first quarter 2016 related to the pending sale. Sempra U.S. Gas & Power expects the transaction to close in the second quarter 2016 and intends to permanently release uncontracted pipeline capacity that it holds. The permanent capacity release is expected to result in a charge to earnings of between $100 million and $120 million in the second quarter 2016, representing an acceleration of expected losses that otherwise would be realized over the contract term.

EARNINGS GUIDANCE

Sempra Energy today revised its 2016 adjusted earnings-per-share guidance range to $4.60 to $5. The new guidance for 2016 reflects the anticipated reduction in 2016 earnings of approximately $60 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, related to the pending sale of the company's interest in REX.

Sempra Energy also today set its 2020 earnings-per-share guidance range at $7.20 to $7.80, reflecting an expected compound annual growth rate in adjusted earnings of 12 percent from 2016 through 2020.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

First-quarter adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share for both 2016 and 2015, as well as adjusted earnings guidance for 2016 and the compound annual growth rate for 2016 through 2020, are non-GAAP financial measures.  Additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures is in the appendix on Table A of the first-quarter financial tables.

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

 

Sempra Energy Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Common Share exclude items in 2016 and 2015 as follows:

 

2016:

$27 million after-tax impairment charge related to Sempra Natural Gas' investment in Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (Rockies Express)

$24 million deferred income tax expense related to our decision to hold Sempra Mexico's Termoeléctrica de Mexicali (TdM) natural gas-fired power plant for sale

 

2015:

$13 million reduction in the plant closure loss related to the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) due to California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approval of a compliance filing related to San Diego Gas & Electric Company's (SDG&E) authorized recovery of its investment in SONGS

$4 million of liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction development expenses

 

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 compounded 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.

LNG liquefaction development expenses for 2016 are included in 2016 Adjusted Earnings-Per-Share Guidance and therefore are not an adjusted earnings item in 2016.

 

SEMPRA ENERGY 2016 ADJUSTED EARNINGS-PER-SHARE GUIDANCE RANGE (Unaudited)

       
 

Sempra Energy 2016 Adjusted Earnings-Per-Share Guidance Range of $4.60 to $5.00 excludes:

any potential gain from the remeasurement of our equity method investment in Gasoductos de Chihuahua (GdC), a 50-50 joint venture between our Mexican subsidiary, IEnova, and Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), in connection with the potential acquisition by IEnova of PEMEX's 50-percent interest in GdC; 

any earnings impact from any transaction to sell the TdM natural gas-fired power plant in Mexico, including the $24 million deferred income tax expense recorded in the first quarter of 2016;

the $27 million after-tax Rockies Express impairment charge;

approximately $100 million to $120 million charge expected in the second quarter of 2016 from Sempra Natural Gas' planned permanent release of uncontracted capacity;

approximately $70 million gain from the pending sale of the parent company of Mobile Gas and Willmut Gas in 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 comparison of the projected EPS CAGR from 2016 to 2020. 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 parties are in the process of restructuring the GdC transaction and an agreement for the sale of the TdM plant has yet to be obtained, any potential earnings impact, other than the TdM deferred income tax expense recorded in the first quarter 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. Accordingly, we are not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent to our 2016 Adjusted Earnings-Per-Share Guidance or our projected EPS CAGR from 2016 to 2020.

             
             

San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E)

             

RECONCILIATION OF SDG&E GAAP EARNINGS TO SDG&E ADJUSTED EARNINGS (Unaudited)

             

SDG&E Adjusted Earnings exclude, in 2015, a $13 million reduction in the plant closure loss related to SONGS due to CPUC approval of a compliance filing related to SDG&E's authorized recovery of its investment in SONGS.

SDG&E Adjusted Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure. Because of the significance and nature of this item, management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides a more meaningful comparison of the performance of SDG&E's business operations from 2016 to 2015 and to future periods. 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.

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.

                                     

(2)

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