Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
246 rewritten, 101 added, 122 removed, 246 unchanged
*When evaluating our company and its [removed: subsidiaries] [added: consolidated entities] and any investment in our or their securities, you should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained in this report and the other documents we file with the [removed: SEC (including] [added: SEC, including] those filed subsequent to this [removed: report).][added: report.]
If any of these risks occurs, our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects could be materially adversely affected, our actual results could differ materially from those expressed [removed: in any forward-looking statements made by us] or [removed: on] [added: implied in] our [removed: behalf,] [added: forward-looking statements,] and the trading [removed: price] [added: prices] of our securities and those of our [removed: subsidiaries] [added: consolidated entities] could decline.
These risk factors are not prioritized in order of importance or materiality, and they should be read [removed: in conjunction] [added: together] with the other information in this report, including [removed: the information set forth] in the Consolidated Financial Statements and in “Part II – Item 7.
Sempra’s [removed: cash flows,] ability to pay dividends and [removed: ability to] meet its [removed: debt] obligations largely [removed: depend] [added: depends] on the performance of its subsidiaries and entities accounted for as equity method investments.
We are a holding company and substantially all [removed: our] [added: the] assets [added: that produce our earnings] are owned by our subsidiaries or entities we do not control, including equity method investments.
Our ability to pay dividends and meet our debt and other obligations largely depends on [removed: cash flows] [added: distributions] from our subsidiaries and equity method investments, which in turn depend on their ability to execute their business strategies and generate cash flows in excess of their own expenditures, dividend payments to third-party owners (if any) and debt and other obligations.
In addition, entities accounted for as equity method investments, which we do not control, and our subsidiaries are all separate and distinct legal entities that are not obligated to pay dividends or make loans or distributions to us and could be precluded from doing so by legislation, [removed: regulation, court order] [added: regulation] or contractual restrictions, in times of financial distress or in other circumstances.
[removed: If] [added: When] Sempra is a creditor of any such entity, its rights as a creditor [removed: would be] [added: are] effectively subordinated to any security interest in the entity’s assets and any indebtedness of the entity senior to that held by Sempra.
In addition, Sempra may elect to make capital contributions to its subsidiaries, which are not required to be repaid and [removed: generally] are structurally subordinated to claims by creditors of the applicable subsidiary.
For businesses we do not control, we are subject to the decisions of others, which may [removed: not always] be [removed: in] [added: adverse to] our [removed: interest and could negatively affect us.][added: interest.]
In addition, irrespective of whether [removed: or not] we control these businesses, we could be responsible for liabilities or losses related to these businesses or elect to make capital contributions to these businesses.
In taking these steps, activist shareholders could seek to acquire our capital stock, which at certain ownership levels could threaten our ability to use some or all our NOL [added: or tax credit] carryforwards if our corporation experiences an “ownership change” under applicable tax rules.
Any [added: actual or] perceived [removed: uncertainties about] [added: instability in] our future [removed: direction or control, our ability] [added: direction, inability] to execute our strategies, or [removed: the composition of] [added: changes in] our board of directors or management team arising from activist shareholder [removed: attention or other action could lead to a perception of instability or a change in the direction of our business, which] [added: campaigns] could be exploited by our competitors and/or other activist shareholders, result in the loss of business opportunities, and make it more difficult to pursue our strategic initiatives or attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
Any impairment of our assets [removed: or investments] could negatively impact us.
We could experience a reduction in the fair value of our assets, including our [removed: long-lived assets, intangible assets or goodwill, and/or our] investments that we account for under the equity [removed: method] [added: method,] upon the occurrence of many of the risks discussed in these risk factors and elsewhere in this report, [removed: including any closure of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility without adequate cost recovery,] [added: such as from] any inability to operate our existing facilities or develop new projects in Mexico due to [added: recent and] proposed changes to [removed: existing] laws or regulations or other circumstances affecting the energy sector or our assets in that country, and more generally any loss of permits or approvals that requires us to adjust or cease certain operations and any [removed: investment] [added: failure to complete or receive an adequate return on our investments] in capital [removed: projects that do not receive required approvals or are changed, abandoned or otherwise not completed.][added: projects.]
At February [removed: 21, 2023,] [added: 20, 2024,] we had [removed: 314,569,519] [added: 632,149,916] shares of our common stock and 900,000 shares of our non-convertible series C preferred stock outstanding.
[removed: We may seek to raise capital by issuing additional] equity [added: (as we did in November 2023)] or convertible debt securities, which may materially dilute the voting rights and economic interests of holders of our outstanding common and preferred stock and materially adversely affect the trading price of our common and preferred stock.
[removed: Dividend] [added: The dividend] requirements [removed: associated with] [added: of] our preferred stock subject us to risks.
Additionally, the terms of the series C preferred stock generally provide that if dividends on any shares of the preferred stock have not been declared and paid or have been declared but not paid for three or more semi-annual dividend periods, [removed: whether or not consecutive,] the holders of the preferred stock would be entitled to elect two additional members to our board of directors, subject to certain terms and limitations.
In addition to being listed [removed: for trading] on the NYSE, our common stock is listed [removed: for trading] on the Mexican Stock Exchange and registered with the CNBV.
Such listing and registration subjects us to filing and other requirements in Mexico that [removed: could increase] [added: have increased our] costs and [removed: increase performance risk] [added: risks] of [removed: personnel given additional responsibilities.][added: noncompliance.]
In addition, the CNBV, as the Mexican securities market regulator, has the authority to [removed: make inspections of] [added: inspect] Sempra’s business, primarily [removed: in the form of] [added: through] requests for information and documents; impose fines or [removed: other] penalties on Sempra and its directors and officers for violations of Mexican securities laws and regulations; and seek criminal liability for certain actions conducted or with effects in Mexico.
Our businesses are subject to risks arising from their infrastructure and [removed: information systems.][added: systems that support this infrastructure.]
Our [removed: businesses’] facilities and the [removed: information] systems that interconnect and/or manage them are subject to risks of, among other things, [removed: potential breakdown or failure of] equipment or [removed: processes] [added: process failures] due to aging infrastructure [removed: and systems;] [added: or otherwise;] human error; shortages of or delays in obtaining equipment, materials, commodities or labor, which [added: have been and] may [added: in the future] be exacerbated by [removed: current or future] supply chain constraints [removed: and] [added: or] tight labor market conditions, [removed: and] [added: as well as] increases to the costs of these items due to inflationary pressures or otherwise, which may not be recoverable in a timely manner or at all; operational restrictions resulting from environmental requirements or governmental interventions; inability to enter into, maintain, extend or replace long-term supply or transportation contracts; and performance below expected levels.
[removed: Even though] [added: Although] our businesses undertake capital investment projects to construct, replace, [removed: maintain, improve] [added: operate, maintain] and upgrade facilities and systems, such projects may not be [added: completed or] effective at managing [removed: the aforementioned risks,] [added: these risks] and [removed: may] involve significant costs that may not be [removed: recoverable and challenges in achieving completion.][added: recoverable.]
We often rely on third parties, including contractors, to perform work related to these projects and other maintenance activities, which may subject us to [removed: increased risks because we manage the] [added: liability for] safety [added: issues] and [added: the] quality of work performed by [added: these] third [removed: parties and may retain liability for their work.][added: parties.]
Because [added: some of] our facilities are interconnected with those of third parties, including [removed: receiving] [added: third-party] natural gas [removed: supply from third party] pipelines and power generation facilities that produce most of the power [removed: that] we [removed: distribute to customers,] [added: distribute,] the operation of our facilities could also be [added: materially] adversely affected by these or similar risks to [removed: the systems of] such [removed: third parties, many of] [added: third-party systems,] which may be unanticipated or uncontrollable by us.
Additional risks associated with our [removed: businesses’] ability to safely and reliably construct, replace, operate, [removed: maintain, improve] [added: maintain] and upgrade [removed: their respective] facilities and systems, [removed: many of] which [removed: are] [added: may be] beyond our control, include:
[removed: ▪inadequate emergency preparedness plans and the] [added: ▪the] failure to respond effectively to catastrophic events
The occurrence of any of these events could affect supply and demand for electricity, natural gas or other forms of energy, cause unplanned outages, damage our [removed: businesses’] assets and/or [removed: operations, damage the assets and/or] operations [added: or those] of third parties on which our businesses rely, damage property owned by customers or others, and cause personal injury or death.
[removed: In addition, if we are unable to defend and retain title to the properties we own or if we are unable to obtain or retain rights to construct and operate on the properties we do not own in a timely manner, on] reasonable terms or at all, we could lose our rights to occupy and use these properties and the related facilities, which could [removed: result in modification, delay] [added: prevent, limit] or [removed: curtailment of] [added: delay] existing or proposed operations or projects, increase our costs, and result in breaches of [removed: one or more] permits or contracts [added: and] related [removed: to the affected facilities that could lead to] legal costs, [removed: impairments or] [added: impairments,] fines or penalties.
Our facilities and [removed: infrastructure, including projects in development and under construction,] [added: infrastructure] may be damaged by severe weather, natural disasters, [added: wildfires,] accidents, explosions or acts of terrorism, [removed: war] [added: war,] or criminality.
Because we are in the business of using, storing, transporting and disposing of highly flammable, explosive and radioactive materials and operating highly energized equipment, the risks such incidents [removed: may] pose to our facilities and infrastructure, as well as [removed: the risks] to the surrounding communities for which we could be [removed: held responsible,] [added: liable,] are substantially greater than the [added: potential] risks [removed: such incidents pose] to a typical business.
Such incidents could result in [removed: business and project development] [added: operational] disruptions, power or gas outages, property damage, [removed: injuries and loss of life for which we could be liable] [added: personal injury or death] and could cause secondary incidents that also may have these or other negative effects, such as fires; leaks of natural gas, natural gas odorant, propane, ethane, other GHG emissions or radioactive material; spills or other damage to natural resources; or other nuisances to affected communities.
Insurance coverage for these costs may [added: continue to] increase or become prohibitively expensive, be disputed by insurers, or become unavailable for certain of these risks or at [removed: sufficient] [added: adequate] levels, and any insurance proceeds may be insufficient to cover our losses or liabilities due to limitations, exclusions, high deductibles, failure to comply with procedural requirements or other factors.
[added: Such incidents that do not directly] affect our facilities may impact our business partners, supply chains and transportation channels, which could negatively [removed: impact construction projects and] [added: affect] our ability to [removed: provide electricity and natural gas to customers.][added: operate.]

Settlement provisions contained in our equity forward sale agreements subject us to certain risks.
The counterparties to the November 2023 forward sale agreements Sempra entered into in connection with its common stock offering that we discuss in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (collectively, the forward purchasers) have the right to accelerate their respective forward sale agreements (or, in certain cases, the portion thereof that they determine is affected by the relevant event) and require us to physically settle such forward sale agreements on a date specified by the forward purchasers if, among other things and subject to a prior notice requirement:
▪they are unable to establish, maintain or unwind their hedge position with respect to the forward sale agreements;
▪they determine that they are unable to continue to borrow in a commercially reasonable manner a sufficient number of shares of our common stock or that they would incur a rate that is greater than the cost to borrow shares specified in the forward sale agreements;
▪we declare or pay cash dividends on shares of our common stock before or in an amount that exceeds those prescribed by the forward sale agreements;
▪announcement of certain extraordinary events such as certain mergers and tender offers, insolvency and the delisting of our common stock, or an event occurs that would constitute a hedging disruption or change in law;
The forward purchasers’ decision to exercise their right to accelerate the forward sale agreements (or, in certain cases, the portion thereof that they determine is affected by the relevant event) and to require us to settle the forward sale agreements will be made irrespective of our interests, including our need for capital.
In such cases, we could be required to issue and deliver our common stock under the terms of the physical settlement provisions of the forward sale agreements irrespective of our capital needs, which would result in dilution to our EPS and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, our preferred stock, any other equity that we may issue and our debt securities.
If the forward purchasers do not exercise the right to accelerate the forward sale agreements, we are required to fully settle these forward sale agreements prior to December 31, 2024, which we expect to do entirely by delivery of shares of our common stock under physical settlement.
Subject to the provisions of the forward sale agreements, delivery of our shares upon physical or net share settlement of the forward sale agreements will result in dilution to our EPS and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, our preferred stock and any other equity that we may issue.
If we elect to cash or net share settle all or a portion of the shares of our common stock underlying the forward sale agreements, we would expect to issue a substantially lower number of shares than if we settled by physical delivery, but would not receive the cash for the shares that would have otherwise been issued if we settled the entire forward sale agreements by physical delivery and will not derive the same benefits from the standpoint of improving our credit metrics.

We face risks related to severe weather, natural disasters, physical attacks and other similar events.
Moreover, weather-related incidents have become more prevalent, unpredictable and severe as a result of climate change or other factors.
We are also vulnerable in the event of attacks on or failures to protect third-party vendors’ technologies and systems, depending on the level of access these vendors have to our information and systems.
In particular, ransomware and other forms of cyber-attacks targeting utility systems and other energy infrastructure are continuously increasing in sophistication, magnitude and frequency, may not be recognized until launched against a target and may further escalate during periods of heightened geopolitical tensions.
Accordingly, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative measures, making it impossible for us to entirely eliminate this risk.
Although we have not experienced a material breach of our information systems or data, we and some of our vendors have been and will likely continue to be subject to breaches of and attempts to gain unauthorized access to our systems or data or efforts to otherwise disrupt our operations.

Force majeure declarations may also have attendant negative consequences, such as the fees lost by Cameron LNG JV on delivery of excess LNG to tolling customers in connection with certain force majeure events, or loss or deferral of revenue arising from non-deliveries of natural gas from suppliers or LNG to customers in certain circumstances.
Also, certain force majeure events may impact the contractors constructing Sempra Infrastructure’s projects, which may result in increased costs or schedule delays.
Sempra Infrastructure may have limited remedies available for certain failures to perform, including limitations on damages that may prohibit recovery of costs incurred for any breach of an agreement.

Our businesses face risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has materially impacted communities, supply chains, economies and markets around the world since March 2020.
To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on our results of operations.
However, Sempra and some or all its businesses have been and could continue to be impacted by this pandemic or any future pandemic in a number of ways, including:
▪Disruption in supply chains and the capital markets, which has affected and could further affect liquidity, strategic initiatives and prospects, including in some cases a slowdown of planned capital spending
▪Customer-protection measures implemented by SDG&E and SoCalGas, including suspending service disconnections due to nonpayment for all customers early in the pandemic (except for SoCalGas’ noncore customers and, since the second half of 2022, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ commercial and industrial customers), waiving late payment fees, offering flexible payment plans and automatically enrolling residential and small business customers with past-due balances in long-term repayment plans, which have collectively resulted in a reduction in payments from SDG&E and SoCalGas’ customers and an increase in uncollectible accounts that could become material and may not be fully recoverable

▪Precautionary, preemptive and responsive actions taken by our current and prospective counterparties, customers and partners, as well as regulators and other governing bodies that affect our businesses, which have affected and could further affect our operations, results, liquidity and ability to pursue capital projects and strategic initiatives
We will continue to actively monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities, or that we determine are necessary for the safety of our employees, customers, partners and suppliers and, generally, the communities we serve.
However, we cannot at this time predict the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may further impact our businesses.

We are subject to risks due to uncertainty relating to the calculation of LIBOR and its scheduled discontinuance.
Certain of our financial and commercial agreements, including those for variable rate indebtedness, as well as interest rate derivatives, incorporate LIBOR as a benchmark for establishing certain rates.
As directed by the U.S. Federal Reserve, banks ceased making new LIBOR-based issuances at the end of 2021, and publication of certain key U.S. dollar LIBOR tenors for existing loans is expected to cease in mid-2023.
These events could cause LIBOR to perform differently than it has performed historically.
Use of the SOFR, which has been identified as the replacement benchmark rate for LIBOR, may result in interest payments that are higher than expected or that do not otherwise correlate over time with the payments that would have been made using LIBOR.
Changes to or the discontinuance of LIBOR, any uncertainty regarding such changes or discontinuance, and the performance and characteristics of alternative benchmark rates, could negatively affect our existing and future variable rate indebtedness and interest rate hedges and the cost of doing business under our commercial agreements that incorporate LIBOR, SOFR or other alternative benchmark rates, and could require us to seek to amend the terms of the relevant indebtedness or agreements, which may not be possible and/or may require us to accept terms that are materially worse than existing terms.

This combined MD&A includes the operational and financial results of the following three Registrants:
▪*Sempra* is a California-based holding company with energy infrastructure investments in North America.
Our businesses invest in, develop and operate energy infrastructure, and provide electric and gas services to customers.
▪*SDG&E* is a regulated public utility that provides electric service to San Diego and southern Orange counties and natural gas service to San Diego County.
▪*SoCalGas* is a regulated public natural gas distribution utility, serving customers throughout most of Southern California and part of central California.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, Sempra realigned its reportable segments to reflect changes in how the CODM oversees our three platforms: Sempra California, Sempra Texas Utilities and Sempra Infrastructure.
Our former SDG&E and SoCalGas reportable segments were combined into one operating and reportable segment, Sempra California, which is consistent with how the CODM assesses performance due to the similarities of their operations, including geographic location and regulatory framework in California.
Sempra’s historical segment disclosures have been restated to conform with the current presentation, so that all discussions reflect the revised segment information of its three reportable segments:
▪Sempra California
SDG&E and SoCalGas each has one reportable segment.
▪Sempra celebrated its 25th anniversary
▪Our company changed its legal name from Sempra Energy to Sempra
▪We completed the offering of 17,142,858 shares of Sempra’s common stock at a public offering price of $70.00 per share, pursuant to forward sale agreements
▪The CCM was triggered and approved for SDG&E and SoCalGas, which increases each company’s respective ROE by 70 bps effective January 1, 2024
▪The CPUC authorized an increase to the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility’s capacity from 41.16 Bcf to 68.6 Bcf
2023 Form 10-K | 59
▪Sempra Infrastructure reached a final investment decision and started construction on the PA LNG Phase 1 project and Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector and Louisiana Storage projects
▪SI Partners completed the sales of a 30% and 42% NCI in the PA LNG Phase 1 project to ConocoPhillips and KKR Denali, respectively
On August 2, 2023, Sempra’s board of directors declared a two-for-one split of Sempra’s common stock in the form of a 100% stock dividend for shareholders of record at the close of business on August 14, 2023.
Sempra’s common stock began trading on a post-split basis effective August 22, 2023.
Except as expressly noted, all share and per share information related to issued and outstanding common stock has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split and is presented on a post-split basis herein.

Sempra California’s earnings are comprised of SDG&E and SoCalGas.
In 2023 compared to 2022, the increase in earnings of $233 million (15%) was primarily due to:
- $199 million charge in 2022 relating to litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak
- $37 million higher income tax benefits primarily from flow-through items, which includes $25 million related to income tax benefits in 2023 for previously unrecognized income tax benefits pertaining to gas repairs expenditures

The following discussion of these primary market-risk exposures as of December 31, [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] includes a discussion of how these exposures are managed.
Sempra Infrastructure has utilized and may continue to utilize commodity contracts, including physical [removed: and financial derivatives, in an effort to mitigate these risks and optimize the value of these assets.]
A hypothetical 10% change in commodity prices would have resulted in a change in the fair value of our commodity-based natural gas and electricity derivatives of [removed: $24] [added: $14] million and [removed: $3] [added: $24] million at December 31, [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] and [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] respectively.

An interest rate risk sensitivity analysis measures interest rate risk by calculating the estimated changes in earnings [added: attributable to common shares (but disregarding capitalized interest and impacts on equity earnings from debt at our equity method investees)] that would result from a hypothetical change in market interest rates.
Earnings [added: attributable to common shares] are affected by changes in interest rates on short-term debt and variable-rate long-term debt.
If weighted-average interest rates on short-term debt outstanding at December 31, [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] increased or decreased by 10%, the change in earnings [added: attributable to common shares] over the 12-month period ending December 31, [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] would be approximately [removed: $12] [added: $9] million.
If interest rates increased or decreased by 10% on all variable-rate long-term debt at December 31, [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] after considering the effects of interest rate swaps, the change in earnings [added: attributable to common shares] over the 12-month period ending December 31, [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] would be approximately $5 million.

Based on a net monetary liability position of [removed: $4.8] [added: $4.5] billion, including those related to our investments in JVs, at December 31, [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] the hypothetical effect of a 10% increase in the Mexican inflation rate is approximately [removed: $104] [added: $91] million lower earnings [added: attributable to common shares] as a result of higher income tax expense for our consolidated entities, as well as lower equity earnings for our JVs.
In [removed: 2022 and] 2023 [removed: to date,] [added: and 2022,] SDG&E and SoCalGas [removed: have] experienced inflationary pressures from increases in various costs, including the cost of natural gas, electric fuel and purchased power, labor, materials and supplies, as well as availability of labor and materials.
[added: During this period,] Sempra Texas Utilities [removed: has] experienced increased costs of labor and materials and does not have specific regulatory mechanisms that allow for recovery of higher costs due to inflation; rather, recovery is limited to rate updates through capital trackers and base rate reviews, which may result in partial non-recovery due to the regulatory lag.

▪Sempra California
In the fourth quarter of 2023, Sempra realigned its reportable segments to reflect changes in how the CODM oversees our three platforms: Sempra California, Sempra Texas Utilities and Sempra Infrastructure.
Our former SDG&E and SoCalGas reportable segments were combined into one operating and reportable segment, Sempra California, which is consistent with how the CODM assesses performance due to the similarities of their operations, including geographic location and regulatory framework in California.
Sempra’s historical segment disclosures have been restated to conform with the current presentation, so that all discussions reflect the revised segment information of its three reportable segments.
SDG&E and SoCalGas each has one reportable segment.

New section this year
CYBERSECURITY RISK MANAGEMENT
Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas have developed and implemented cybersecurity risk management processes intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical infrastructure, systems and information.
These cybersecurity risk management processes include cybersecurity incident response plans that are integrated into each entity’s respective enterprise risk management and emergency management programs.
Our cybersecurity processes are largely designed and assessed based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework and the DOE’s Cybersecurity Capability Maturity Model standards.
This does not imply that we meet any technical standards, specifications, or requirements, only that we use these standards as a guide to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business.
Our cybersecurity risk management processes include:
▪risk assessments performed by internal personnel and third-party advisors designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, services, and our broader enterprise information technology environments
▪information security teams principally responsible for developing and implementing (1) cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (2) information security controls, and (3) response plans to cybersecurity incidents
▪the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our information security controls
▪cybersecurity awareness training and policies designed to address social engineering attacks targeting employees and contractors
▪cybersecurity incident response plans that include procedures for responding to certain cybersecurity incidents
▪risk management processes for third-party service providers, suppliers, and vendors
We have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
CYBERSECURITY GOVERNANCE
Sempra’s, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ respective boards of directors consider cybersecurity risk as part of their risk oversight function.
The Sempra board of directors has delegated to its SST Committee, which is entirely composed of independent directors under the independence standards established by the NYSE, oversight of cybersecurity and other information and operational technology risks.
The SST Committee reports to the Sempra board of directors regarding the Committee’s activities, including those related to cybersecurity.
The SST Committee receives briefings on cybersecurity topics from Sempra’s chief information security officer, internal information security staff or external experts in part for continuing education on topics that impact public companies.
The SST Committee as well as the SDG&E and SoCalGas boards of directors oversee management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management processes and receive regular reports from management on our material cybersecurity risks.
In addition, management updates the SST Committee and SDG&E and SoCalGas boards of directors about certain cybersecurity incidents.
The SDG&E and SoCalGas boards of directors receive briefings from SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ chief information officer and internal information security staff.
SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ boards of directors also have formed safety committees that, at times, may oversee the matters described above on behalf of those companies’ respective boards of directors.
2023 Form 10-K | 56
We have formed cybersecurity councils to provide overall corporate oversight for managing material risks from cybersecurity threats.
The cybersecurity councils meet regularly to receive updates on cybersecurity developments at Sempra and our consolidated entities from their cybersecurity management teams.
Our cybersecurity management teams supervise efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include briefings from internal information security personnel; threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us; and alerts and reports produced by information security tools deployed in the information technology environment.
Cybersecurity management also supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants.
Sempra’s director of cybersecurity governance & chief information security officer provides additional oversight and support for the operational cybersecurity activities at our consolidated entities.
We have also formed materiality assessment teams, which include chief information security officers, chief information officers, chief risk officers, chief accounting officers or chief financial officers, and general counsels, to help assess the materiality of certain cybersecurity incidents.
The cybersecurity councils, cybersecurity management teams and materiality assessment teams include members with decades of operational experience as cybersecurity professionals as well as management with decades of service in the areas of information and operational technology and legal, compliance, financial reporting and enterprise risk management.
Some of these members hold degrees and certifications that we believe enhance our ability to manage and respond to cybersecurity risks, including, among others, bachelor’s and/or master’s degrees in cybersecurity and computer science as well as certified information systems security professional, certified incident handler, and certified information security manager certifications.

At February [removed: 21, 2023,] [added: 20, 2024,] there were approximately [removed: 21,229] [added: 20,353] record holders of our common stock.
On July 6, 2020, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of shares of our common stock at any time and from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of $2 billion or amounts spent to purchase no more than [removed: 25 million] [added: 25,000,000] shares.

We have filed these reports with these regulators in a complete and timely manner during the last three years (or, with respect to the regulators in Mexico, for the shorter period in which our common stock has been registered in Mexico).
The financial information included in our annual and quarterly reports generally covers the most recently completed fiscal year or quarter, as applicable, as well as the most recently completed year-to-date period in our quarterly reports, in each case compared to the same period from the prior year, and the compensation information included in our proxy statements generally covers the most recently completed fiscal year.

Exchange Controls and Other Limitations Affecting the Holders of Securities. U.S. federal laws do not currently impose any currency exchange controls that could affect the ability of holders of Sempra’s shares of common stock to transfer funds from the U.S. to Mexico in connection with a potential sale or other divestiture of Sempra’s shares of common stock.
The board of directors did not adjust the 25,000,000 aggregate number of shares that could be repurchased or the number of shares remaining authorized to be repurchased under this repurchase authorization in connection with the two-for-one split of Sempra’s common stock in the form of a 100% stock dividend effected in August 2023 that we discuss in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Audit Matters
2023 Form 10-K | F-2
Hedge Accounting Applied to Interest Rate Swaps – Refer to Notes 7 and 11 of the Notes to Financial Statements
Sempra designates qualifying derivative instruments as cash flow hedges.
In March 2023, Port Arthur LNG, LLC (“Port Arthur LNG”), a consolidated subsidiary of Sempra, entered into a seven-year term loan facility agreement (the “Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.8 billion.
Also, in March 2023, Port Arthur LNG entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in cash flows related to the interest payments on forecasted loans.
Sempra designated the floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges.
We identified the application of hedge accounting for the interest rate swaps used to hedge the interest payments on the forecasted loans as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgments made by management regarding the applicability of hedge accounting and the assessment of hedge effectiveness of the interest rate swaps, including the probability of refinancing of the loans under the Term Loan Facility.
Auditing these judgments required specialized knowledge of accounting for cash flow hedges and a high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity when designing and performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of critical assumptions made by management.
Our audit procedures related to the application of hedge accounting for the interest rates swaps included the following, among others:
▪We tested the effectiveness of controls over management's evaluation of the interest rate swaps and hedging relationships, including the review of critical assumptions used.
▪With the assistance of professionals in our firm having expertise in derivative financial instruments, we evaluated the applicability of hedge accounting for the interest rate swaps.
▪With the assistance of professionals in our firm having fair value expertise, we evaluated the hedge effectiveness by comparing a sample of data points used in management’s effectiveness assessment to independent valuation.
▪We evaluated management's assessment of their ability to obtain the forecasted issuances of fixed-rate debt underlying the cash flow hedge relationship by considering independent market data and similar past transactions completed by Sempra, performing corroborating inquiries with Sempra's finance and treasury departments, and obtaining a management representation that the forecasted transaction is probable of occurring.
▪We evaluated the presentation and disclosure of the interest rate swaps in the financial statements.

Accounting for the economics of rate regulation impacts multiple financial statement line items and disclosures.
We identified the impact of rate regulation as a critical audit matter due to the high degree of subjectivity involved in assessing the impact of regulatory orders on the financial statements.
2023 Form 10-K | F-4
▪We tested the effectiveness of management’s controls over the evaluation of the likelihood of (1) the recovery in rates of costs deferred as regulatory assets, and (2) a refund or a reduction in rates that should be reported as regulatory liabilities.
▪We evaluated the external information and compared it to management’s recorded regulatory asset and liability balances for completeness.
