▪the success of business development efforts, construction projects and major acquisitions and divestitures, including risks in (i) the ability to make a final investment decision, (ii) completing construction projects or other transactions on schedule and budget, (iii) the ability to realize anticipated benefits from any of these efforts if completed, and (iv) obtaining the consent of partners or other third parties

▪moves to reduce or eliminate reliance on natural gas and the impact of volatility of oil prices on our businesses and development projects

▪weather, natural disasters, pandemics, accidents, equipment failures, explosions, acts of terrorism, computer system outages and other events that disrupt our operations, damage our facilities and systems, cause the release of harmful materials, cause fires and subject us to liability for property damage or personal injuries, fines and penalties, some of which may not be covered by insurance (including costs in excess of applicable policy limits), may be disputed by insurers or may otherwise not be recoverable through regulatory mechanisms or may impact our ability to obtain satisfactory levels of affordable insurance

▪the availability of electric power and natural gas and natural gas storage capacity, including disruptions caused by failures in the transmission grid, limitations on the withdrawal of natural gas from storage facilities, and equipment failures

▪cybersecurity threats to the energy grid, storage and pipeline infrastructure, the information and systems used to operate our businesses, and the confidentiality of our proprietary information and the personal information of our customers and employees

▪expropriation of assets, failure of foreign governments and state-owned entities to honor their contracts, and property disputes

▪the impact at SDG&E on competitive customer rates and reliability due to the growth in distributed and local power generation, including from departing retail load resulting from customers transferring to DA and CCA, and the risk of nonrecovery for stranded assets and contractual obligations

▪Oncor’s ability to eliminate or reduce its quarterly dividends due to regulatory and governance requirements and commitments, including by actions of Oncor’s independent directors or a minority member director

▪volatility in foreign currency exchange and interest rates and commodity prices and our ability to effectively hedge these risks

▪changes in tax and trade policies, laws and regulations, including tariffs and revisions to international trade agreements that may increase our costs, reduce our competitiveness, or impair our ability to resolve trade disputes

We caution you not to rely unduly on any forward-looking statements. You should review and consider carefully the risks, uncertainties and other factors that affect our business as described herein and in other reports that we file with the SEC.

SUMMARY OF RISK FACTORS

There are a number of risks that you should understand before making an investment decision in our securities or the securities of our subsidiaries. This summary is not intended to be complete and should only be read together with the information set forth in “Risk Factors” in this report. If any of these risks occur, Sempra Energy’s and its subsidiaries’ businesses, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations and/or prospects could be materially and adversely affected, and the trading prices of Sempra Energy’s securities and those of its subsidiaries could substantially decline. These risks include, among others, the following:

Risks Related to Sempra Energy

▪Sempra Energy’s cash flows, ability to pay dividends and ability to meet its debt obligations largely depend on the performance of its subsidiaries and entities that are accounted for as equity method investments, such as Oncor Holdings and Cameron LNG JV.

▪The economic interest, voting rights and market value of our outstanding common and preferred stock may be adversely affected by any additional equity securities we may issue and, with respect to our common stock, by our outstanding preferred stock.

Risks Related to All Sempra Energy Businesses

▪Severe weather conditions, natural disasters, pandemics, accidents, equipment failures, explosions or acts of terrorism could materially adversely affect us.

▪The substantial debt service obligations of Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas could have a material adverse effect on us, and with respect to Sempra Energy, could require additional equity securities issuances.

▪The availability and cost of debt or equity financing could be adversely affected by conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions generally, as well as other factors, and any such negative effects could materially adversely affect us.

▪Certain credit rating agencies may downgrade our credit ratings or place those ratings on negative outlook.

▪Our businesses are subject to complex governmental regulations and tax and accounting requirements and may be materially adversely affected by these regulations or requirements or any changes to them.

▪Our businesses require numerous permits, licenses, franchises, and other approvals and agreements from various federal, state, local and foreign governmental agencies, and the failure to obtain or maintain any of them could materially adversely affect us.

Risks Related to the California Utilities

▪Wildfires in California pose a significant risk to the California Utilities (particularly SDG&E) and Sempra Energy.

▪The electricity industry is undergoing significant change, including increased deployment of distributed energy resources, technological advancements, and political and regulatory developments.

▪Natural gas and natural gas storage have increasingly been the subject of political and public scrutiny, including a desire by some to substantially reduce or eliminate reliance on natural gas as an energy source.

▪The California Utilities are subject to extensive regulation by state, federal and local legislative and regulatory authorities, which may materially adversely affect us.

▪SoCalGas has incurred and may continue to incur significant costs, expenses and other liabilities related to the Leak, a substantial portion of which may not be recoverable through insurance.

Risks Related to Our Interest in Oncor

▪Certain ring-fencing measures, governance mechanisms and commitments limit our ability to influence the management and policies of Oncor.

▪Changes in the electric utility industry, including changes in regulation of ERCOT, could materially adversely affect Oncor, which could materially adversely affect us.

Risks Related to Our Businesses Other Than the California Utilities and Our Interest in Oncor

▪Project development activities may not be successful and projects under construction may not commence operation as scheduled, be completed within budget or operate at expected levels, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

▪Our businesses depend on the performance of counterparties, including with respect to long-term supply, sales and capacity agreements, and any failure by these parties to perform could result in substantial expenses and business disruptions and exposure to commodity price risk and volatility, any of which could materially adversely affect us.

▪Our international businesses and operations expose us to legal, tax, economic, geopolitical, management oversight, foreign currency and inflation risks and challenges.

Risks Related to Our Proposed IEnova Exchange Offer and Our Proposed Transaction Related to Sempra Infrastructure Partners

▪Our ability to complete our proposed IEnova exchange offer is subject to various conditions and other risks and uncertainties that could cause the transaction to be abandoned, delayed or restructured, which could materially adversely affect us.

▪We expect to issue shares of our common stock in the proposed exchange offer, which would dilute the voting interests and could dilute the economic interests of our current shareholders and may adversely affect the market value of our common stock and preferred stock.

▪The proposed exchange offer, if completed, would subject us to additional regulation and liability in Mexico.

▪Our proposed transaction related to Sempra Infrastructure Partners is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.
