Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We provide disclosure regarding derivative activity in Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We discuss our market risk and risk policies in detail in “Part II – Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the Annual Report.

COMMODITY PRICE RISK

Sempra Infrastructure is generally exposed to commodity price risk indirectly through its LNG, natural gas pipelines and storage, and power-generating assets. In the first three months of 2022, a hypothetical 10% unfavorable change in commodity prices would have resulted in a change in the fair value of our commodity-based natural gas and electricity derivatives of $10 million at March 31, 2022 compared to $3 million at December 31, 2021.

The one-day value at risk for SDG&E and SoCalGas’ commodity positions were $2 million and negligible, respectively, at March 31, 2022 compared to $5 million and $1 million, respectively, at December 31, 2021.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The table below shows the nominal amount of our debt:

An interest rate risk sensitivity analysis measures interest rate risk by calculating the estimated changes in earnings that would result from a hypothetical change in market interest rates. Earnings 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 March 31, 2022 increased or decreased by 10%, the change in earnings over the 12-month period ending March 31, 2023 would be approximately $2 million. If interest rates increased or decreased by 10% on all variable-rate long-term debt at March 31, 2022, after considering the effects of interest rate swaps, the change in earnings over the 12-month period ending March 31, 2023 would be approximately $1 million.

FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION RATE RISK

We discuss our foreign currency and inflation exposures in “Part I – Item 2. MD&A – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” in this report and in “Part II – Item 7. MD&A – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” in the Annual Report. At March 31, 2022, there were no significant changes to our exposure to foreign currency rate risk since December 31, 2021.
