SEMPRA ENERGY REPORTS
HIGHER FIRST-QUARTER 2005 EARNINGS
SAN DIEGO, May 4, 2005 - Sempra Energy today reported first-quarter 2005 earnings of $223 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, compared with $197 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, in the first quarter 2004.
"Operating results in the first quarter were solid for all of our businesses and put us on track to accomplish our financial goals for the year," said Stephen L. Baum, chairman and chief executive officer of Sempra Energy. "We are reaffirming our earnings-per-share guidance for 2005 of $3.10 to $3.30."
Net income in the first quarter 2005 included $59 million related to the favorable resolution of federal and state income-tax issues from prior years for both the parent company and the California utilities. First-quarter 2004 results included a $24 million loss related to discontinued operations and $16 million in net income related to the favorable resolution of prior years' income-tax issues.
Revenues in the first quarter 2005 were $2.7 billion, compared with $2.4 billion in the same quarter last year, due to increased power and commodity sales.
SUBSIDIARY OPERATING RESULTS
Sempra Utilities
Net income for San Diego Gas & Electric was $59 million in the first quarter 2005, up from $50 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was due primarily to the favorable resolution of income-tax issues.
Net income for Southern California Gas Co. in the first quarter 2005 rose to $69 million from $56 million in the first quarter 2004, primarily due to a favorable adjustment related to the utility's recent rate-making decision.
Sempra Commodities
Sempra Commodities' first-quarter 2005 net income was $29 million, versus $57 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease in quarterly net income was primarily due to lower income in natural gas and metals trading.
"Accounting rules impact the timing of earnings recognition for our commodity operations, as was the case in our natural gas trading operations during the first quarter," Baum said. "Even though we will continue to see quarter-to-quarter variation in reported earnings for this business, we expect Sempra Commodities to meet its 2005 financial plan."
Sempra Generation
First-quarter net income for Sempra Generation rose to $46 million in 2005 from $35 million last year, primarily as a result of increased power sales from the company's generating facilities in Texas. Sempra Generation acquired its half of the Coleto Creek facility and eight other Texas power plants in July 2004.
Sempra Pipelines & Storage
Sempra Pipelines & Storage had net income of $13 million during the first quarter 2005, up from $11 million in the year-ago quarter, due primarily to improved results from the company's Latin American utility operations.
Sempra LNG
Sempra LNG recorded a net loss of $5 million during the first quarter 2005, versus net income of $6 million in the first quarter 2004. Last year's quarterly results included an $8 million contribution from the favorable buy-out of a future obligation related to the Cameron LNG project.
"We are pleased that our liquefied natural gas business is making good progress," Baum said. "Capacity for our Energía Costa Azul receipt terminal in Baja California, Mexico, is fully subscribed and construction on the terminal is underway. We are working toward finalizing several non-binding, preliminary agreements this summer for capacity at our Cameron LNG terminal in Louisiana and expect to begin construction later this year. Finally, last week we announced a preliminary agreement with Gazprom - the world's largest natural gas producer - which wants to enter the North American market with sufficient quantities of gas to launch our Port Arthur LNG terminal in Texas. We expect to receive federal regulatory approvals for this terminal by year-end. "
