SAN DIEGO, Aug. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE) today reported second-quarter 2011 earnings of $511 million, or $2.12 per diluted share, up from earnings of $222 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2010.

This year's second-quarter earnings included a gain of $277 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, reflecting the write-up in the value of the company's original investments in Chile and Peru as a result of the acquisition of a controlling interest in those utilities earlier this year.

Excluding this gain, Sempra Energy's diluted earnings per share in the second quarter 2011 increased approximately 9 percent to $0.97 over second-quarter 2010 earnings per share of $0.89.

Sempra Energy's earnings through the first six months of 2011 were $769 million, or $3.19 per diluted share, compared with $328 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, in 2010. First-quarter 2010 earnings included an after-tax charge of $96 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, related to a litigation settlement.

"Through the first half of the year, we are performing well across the board and are on track to meet our 2011 earnings guidance," said Debra L. Reed, chief executive officer of Sempra Energy. "Our utility and pipeline acquisitions are providing strong contributions to our earnings. We also are making excellent progress on our major California utility projects and our build-out of contracted renewable energy infrastructure."

As previously announced, Reed was elected chief executive officer of Sempra Energy June 27, succeeding Donald E. Felsinger. Felsinger will continue to serve as executive chairman.

Sempra Energy today reaffirmed its 2011 earnings-per-share guidance of $4 to $4.30, excluding the $1.15 related to the company's acquisition of controlling interests in the Chile and Peru utilities (earnings-per-share guidance of $5.15 to $5.45, on a GAAP basis).

SUBSIDIARY OPERATING RESULTS

San Diego Gas & Electric

In the second quarter 2011, earnings for San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) were $71 million, compared with $75 million in the second quarter 2010.

For the first six months of 2011, SDG&E earned $160 million, up from $158 million in the same period last year.

Southern California Gas Co.

Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) had second-quarter earnings of $59 million in 2011, compared with $69 million in the prior-year's second quarter, due primarily to lower natural gas storage revenues, and higher employee benefit costs and other expenses.

SoCalGas' earnings in the first half of 2011 were $127 million, compared with $134 million in the first half of 2010.

Sempra Pipelines & Storage

In the second quarter 2011, Sempra Pipelines & Storage earned $337 million, up from $39 million in the prior year's quarter. Second-quarter 2011 results included a non-cash gain of $277 million from the write-up in the value of the original investments in Sempra Pipelines & Storage's electric utilities in Chile and Peru and $14 million in higher earnings primarily from increased ownership in these companies.

For the first six months of 2011, Sempra Pipelines & Storage's earnings increased to $391 million from $77 million in the same period last year, due primarily to the gain on the Chile and Peru utility acquisitions and higher earnings from those utilities, as well as from a Mexican pipeline acquired in the second quarter 2010.

Sempra LNG

Sempra LNG's earnings in the second quarter 2011 rose to $18 million from $13 million in last year's second quarter, due primarily to payments by customers for contracted cargoes that were not delivered.

In the first half of 2011, Sempra LNG earned $51 million, compared with $45 million in the first half of 2010.

Sempra Generation

Sempra Generation's second-quarter 2011 earnings were $50 million, compared with $52 million in last year's second quarter.

During the first six months of 2011, Sempra Generation had earnings of $94 million, up from $1 million during the same period last year. In the first quarter 2010, Sempra Generation took a charge of $84 million related to a litigation settlement.

Last week, Sempra Generation announced a 25-year contract with Pacific Gas & Electric to supply renewable power from a 150-megawatt (MW) expansion of Sempra Generation's Copper Mountain Solar complex in Nevada. The contract is subject to approval by the California Public Utilities Commission.

Additionally, in July, Sempra Generation and BP Wind Energy commenced operations of the 250-MW Cedar Creek 2 Wind Farm in Colorado. The renewable energy from the facility has been sold under a long-term power-purchase agreement to the Public Service Company of Colorado.

*RECONCILIATION OF SEMPRA ENERGY EARNINGS TO SEMPRA ENERGY EARNINGS EXCLUDING GAIN*
*FROM REMEASUREMENT OF EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS AND LITIGATION SETTLEMENT (Unaudited)*

Sempra Energy Earnings, Earnings Per Share and 2011 earnings per share guidance 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 and a $96 million charge for a litigation settlement in the first quarter of 2010 are non-GAAP financial measures (GAAP represents accounting principles generally accepted in the United States). 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 June 30, 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.
