Sempra Energy (SRE) Risk Analysis

SDG&E has a 20% ownership interest in SONGS, which we discuss in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. SDG&E and each of the other owners of SONGS is responsible for financing its share of the facility's expenses and capital expenditures, including those related to decommissioning activities. Although the facility is being decommissioned, SDG&E's ownership interest in SONGS continues to subject it to risks, including: ?the potential release of radioactive material ?the potential harmful effects from the former operation of the facility ?limitations on the insurance commercially available to cover losses associated with operating and decommissioning the facility ?uncertainties with respect to the technological, financial, and political aspects of decommissioning the facility and the long-term storage of radioactive materials SDG&E maintains the SONGS NDT to provide funds for nuclear decommissioning. Trust assets generally have been invested in equity and debt securities, which are subject to market fluctuations. A decline in the market value of trust assets, an adverse change in the law regarding funding requirements for decommissioning trusts, or changes in assumptions or forecasts related to decommissioning dates, technology and the cost of labor, materials and equipment due to inflationary pressures or otherwise could increase the funding requirements for these trusts, which costs may not be fully recoverable in rates. In addition, CPUC approval is required to make withdrawals from the NDT, and CPUC approval for certain expenditures may be denied if the CPUC determines the expenditures are unreasonable. In addition, decommissioning may be materially more expensive than we currently anticipate and therefore decommissioning costs may exceed the amounts in the NDT. Rate recovery for overruns would require CPUC approval, which may not occur. The occurrence of any of these events could result in a reduction in our expected recovery and have a material adverse effect on SDG&E's and Sempra's results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. Legal and Regulatory Risks

Our businesses depend on recruiting, developing and retaining qualified personnel. Several of our businesses have in place collective bargaining agreements with different labor unions, which are generally negotiated on a company-by-company basis. At December 31, 2024, employees covered under collective bargaining agreements were 38%, 30% and 55%, respectively, of Sempra's, SDG&E's and SoCalGas' workforce, of which the collective bargaining agreements covering 29%, 0% and 55% of employees, respectively, expire within one year (and in the case of SoCalGas, the collective bargaining agreement expired in February 2025). Any prolonged negotiation or failure to reach an agreement on these labor contracts as they are up for renewal could result in work stoppages or other labor disruptions. For SoCalGas, negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement are presently ongoing. Until a new collective bargaining agreement is ratified by employees, there could be labor disruptions. Additionally, we have faced a shortage of experienced and qualified personnel in certain specialty operational positions and could experience disruptions from recruiting or retention challenges for personnel in those positions. Any labor disruption, negotiated wage or benefit increases or other challenges, whether due to union activities, employee turnover, labor shortages or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

We depend on electric transmission lines, natural gas pipelines and other transportation facilities and services owned and operated by third parties to, among other things: ?deliver the natural gas, LNG, electricity and LPG we sell to customers or use for our LNG facilities ?supply natural gas to our gas storage and electric generation facilities ?provide retail energy services to customers If transportation is disrupted, the construction of necessary interconnecting infrastructure is not completed on schedule or at all or capacity is inadequate, we may be delayed in completing projects under development and/or unable to meet our contractual obligations to customers of those projects or existing projects, in which case we may be responsible for damages they incur, such as the cost of acquiring alternative supplies at then-current spot market rates, and we could lose customers that may be difficult to replace. Any such occurrence could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. Financial Risks

The impacts from the mitigation of climate change and related regulations may increase the costs we incur to procure and transmit energy and provide other services. The changes in costs and preferences for lower carbon and renewable energy sources may impact the demand for, consumption of, and type of energy we transmit and distribute. Environmental and Climate Change Regulation We are subject to extensive federal, state, regional, local and foreign statutes, orders, rules and regulations relating to climate change and environmental protection. To comply with these requirements, we must expend significant capital and employee resources on environmental monitoring, surveillance and other measures to track performance; acquisition and installation of pollution control equipment; mitigation efforts; and emissions fees, which could increase as a result of various factors we may not control, including changing laws and regulations, increased readiness and enforcement activities, delays in the renewal and issuance of permits, and changes to the mix of energy we transmit and distribute. In addition, we are generally responsible for hazardous substances and other contamination on and the conditions of our projects and properties, regardless of when these conditions arose and whether they are known or unknown. We have been and may in the future be required to pay environmental remediation costs at former facilities and off-site waste disposal sites where any of our businesses is identified as a PRP under federal, state and local environmental laws. For our regulated utilities, some or all of these costs may not be recoverable in rates. Failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations may subject us to fines and penalties, including criminal penalties in some cases, and/or curtailment of our operations. Moreover, increasing international, national, regional, state and local environmental concerns and related changes to applicable legal and regulatory frameworks, such as requirements for increased monitoring and surveillance, disclosures on environmental performance, pollution monitoring and control equipment, safety practices, emissions fees, taxes, penalties or other obligations or restrictions, may have material negative effects on our operations, costs, corporate planning, and the scope and economics of proposed infrastructure projects or other capital expenditures. Any of these outcomes could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. In particular, legislation and regulation designed to reduce GHG emissions and mitigate climate change are proliferating, as we discuss in "Part I - Item 1. Environmental Matters." California's goals are facing cost pressures and may experience delays or other challenges that could cause the state to modify its laws and rules, resulting in significant uncertainty. These or other similar laws and rules may materially restrict our operations, negatively impact demand for our services and/or the energy we transmit and distribute, limit development opportunities, force costly or otherwise burdensome changes to our operations, negatively impact customer affordability, or otherwise materially adversely affect us. Additionally, the SEC's final rules on climate-related disclosures and California laws requiring expansive disclosures on GHG emissions and other environmental measures, targets and claims could subject us to liability for these disclosures as well as significant compliance costs and could have other consequences that may be difficult to predict, including negative sentiment from current and potential investors, regulators or other groups. These new disclosure requirements may use different reporting frameworks and methodologies, such as reporting boundaries, which may further increase compliance costs and the risk of compliance failures and may create confusion for stakeholders. Moreover, these disclosure requirements could increase the risk that we become subject to climate change lawsuits. Defense costs associated with such litigation could be significant, and any adverse outcome could require substantial capital expenditures or payment of substantial penalties or damages. Although these new disclosure requirements are subject to challenges in pending lawsuits and may change as a result of further agency action, any of these outcomes could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. Other Energy Transition Risks The energy transition in California and elsewhere, including decarbonization goals, has introduced uncertainty in long-term investor support, leading some to reduce investment in or divest from our sector. Maintaining investor confidence and attracting capital at a competitive cost will depend, in part, on demonstrating our ability to address material business risks related to climate and our efforts to help achieve the goals of our consumers and the markets and jurisdictions where we operate. In an effort to maintain a sustainable and durable business risk profile and continue to focus on value creation, Sempra has evaluated and updated its climate aspirations to reflect the changing policy, regulatory, commercial and technological landscape, including stakeholders' evolving focus on reliability, resiliency and affordability and the pace and impact of climate and other public policies. Following this evaluation, Sempra now aims to have net-zero scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2050, with an interim target of 50% scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions reductions by 2035 (this interim target applies to Sempra California and Sempra Infrastructure's Mexico (non-LNG) operations and is relative to a 2019 baseline). While the company no longer has a specific goal to achieve net-zero scope 3 GHG emissions by 2050, the capabilities we are developing through our energy transition action plan could also support the reduction of scope 3 GHG emissions and help meet regulatory, consumer and market demand for lower- and zero-carbon energy. Sempra's, SDG&E's and SoCalGas' abilities to advance their respective net-zero and other climate objectives will depend on many factors, some of which we do not control, including supportive federal and state energy laws, policies, incentives, tax credits and regulatory decisions; cost and affordability considerations; development, commercialization and regulatory acceptance of alternative and lower-carbon energy sources, including cleaner fuels; successful research and development efforts focused on lower carbon technologies that are economically and technically feasible; cooperation from our partners, financing sources and commercial counterparties; customer participation in conservation and energy efficiency programs; our ability to execute our planned investments in our infrastructure; and consumers' decisions and preferences. In addition, forecasting to 2035, 2045 and 2050 is inherently speculative without knowing the trajectory of the energy transition. As a result, although we are dedicated to progress on our climate aims and are continuing to develop capabilities designed to reduce GHG emissions from our own operations as well as to support consumers' and markets' own climate goals, we may not be successful in achieving these objectives. We will need to continue to expend capital and employee resources to develop and deploy new technologies and modernize grid systems to meet the demand for lower carbon and reliable energy in California and elsewhere and achieve our climate aspirations and those mandated by applicable authorities, which may not be recoverable in rates or, with respect to our businesses that are not regulated utilities, may not be able to be passed through to customers. Even if such costs are recoverable, these costs, coupled with necessary safety and reliability investments, may negatively impact the affordability of SDG&E's and SoCalGas' customer rates and, for our businesses that are not regulated utilities, may cause costs to increase to levels that reduce customer demand and growth. SDG&E and SoCalGas, as well as any of our other businesses affected by GHG emissions reduction and mitigation and renewable energy mandates, may also be subject to fines and penalties if mandated goals are not met, and all our businesses could suffer difficulties attracting investors and business partners, reputational harm and other negative effects if we do not meet or if we further modify our GHG emissions reduction aims or there are negative views about our environmental disclosures or practices generally. We develop our capital expenditure plans based on forecasts as well as regulatory and compliance requirements, including those related to safety, reliability and load growth, gas system planning, and transportation electrification, which generally assume that California will continue to pursue consistent environmental and climate-related policies. If the federal government withdraws its support for grid and infrastructure modernization or prohibits California from pursuing its environmental and climate-related policies, or if California changes its policies, SDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra may be unable to meet their respective aims. The occurrence of any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Rates and Other Financial Matters The CPUC regulates SDG&E's and SoCalGas' customer rates, except for SDG&E's electric transmission rates that are regulated by the FERC, and conditions of service. The CPUC also regulates SDG&E's and SoCalGas' sales of securities, rates of return, capital structure, rates of depreciation, long-term resource procurement and other financial matters in various ratemaking proceedings. The CPUC periodically approves SDG&E's and SoCalGas' customer rates based on authorized capital expenditures, operating costs, including income taxes, and an authorized rate of return on investments while incorporating a risk-based decision-making framework, as well as certain settlements with third parties and mandatory social programs. The timing and outcome of ratemaking proceedings can be affected by various factors, many of which are not in our control, including the level of opposition by intervening parties; any rejection by the CPUC of settlements with third parties; increasing levels of regulatory review; changes in the political, regulatory, or legislative environments; and the opinions of regulators, customers and other stakeholders. These ratemaking proceedings include decisions about major programs in which SDG&E and SoCalGas make investments under an approved CPUC framework, such as wildfire mitigation and pipeline and storage integrity and safety enhancement programs, but which investments may remain subject to a CPUC filing or reasonableness review that may result in the disallowance of incurred costs. SDG&E and SoCalGas also may be required to make investments and incur other costs to comply with proposed legislative and regulatory requirements and initiatives, including those related to California's climate goals and policies, and the ability to recover these costs and investments may depend on the final form of the legislative or regulatory requirements and the corresponding ratemaking mechanisms. Recovery may be delayed and/or insufficient if the applicable ratemaking mechanism involves a significant time lag between when costs are incurred and when those costs are recovered in rates or if there are material differences between the authorized costs embedded in rates (which are set on a prospective basis) and the actual costs incurred. Delays may also result from the administrative process, or the CPUC may deny recovery altogether on the basis that costs were not reasonably or prudently incurred or for other reasons, such as customer affordability. Even if recoverable, simultaneously investing in support of necessary safety and reliability and the regulatory requirements and demand for reliable lower-carbon energy may negatively impact the affordability of SDG&E's and SoCalGas' customer rates and their and Sempra's results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. A CPUC cost of capital proceeding every three years determines a utility's authorized capital structure and authorized return on rate base. The CCM applies in the interim years and considers changes in the cost of capital based on changes in interest rates based on the applicable utility bond index published by Moody's (CCM benchmark rate) for each 12-month period ending September 30 (the measurement period). Alternatively, each of SDG&E and SoCalGas is permitted to file a cost of capital application to have its cost of capital determined in lieu of the CCM in an interim year in which an extraordinary or catastrophic event materially impacts its cost of capital and affects utilities differently than the market as a whole. In October 2024, the CPUC issued an FD to modify the CCM. The FD updates the upward or downward adjustment to authorized ROE, if the CCM is triggered, from 50% to 20% of the change in the benchmark rate during the measurement period. Any further rate changes due to a downward trigger of the CCM or the denial by the CPUC of an automatic upward trigger of the CCM could have a material adverse effect on Sempra's and the applicable utility's results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. We discuss the CCM in "Part I – Item 1. Business - Ratemaking Mechanisms – Sempra California – Cost of Capital Proceedings," and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The FERC regulates electric transmission rates, the transmission and wholesale sales of electricity in interstate commerce, transmission access, the rates of return on investments in electric transmission assets, and other similar matters involving SDG&E. These ratemaking mechanisms are subject to many risks similar to those described above regarding the CPUC ratemaking proceedings. In particular, SDG&E's authorized TO5 settlement provided for an ROE of 10.60%, consisting of a base ROE of 10.10% plus the California ISO adder. In December 2024, the FERC issued an order, which SDG&E has appealed, finding that SDG&E is not eligible for the California ISO adder and that the TO5 adder refund provision has been triggered, requiring SDG&E to refund customers the California ISO adder retroactively from June 1, 2019. In October 2024, SDG&E submitted its TO6 filing to the FERC, requested to be effective January 1, 2025, and subject to refund. SDG&E's TO6 filing proposes, among other items, an increase to SDG&E's currently authorized base ROE from 10.10% to 11.75% plus the California ISO adder, for a total ROE of 12.25%. In December 2024, the FERC accepted SDG&E's TO6 filing but suspended the effective date to June 1, 2025 and disallowed the inclusion of the California ISO adder, which SDG&E has appealed. Any unfavorable outcome in these proceedings, such as the discontinuation of the California ISO adder or not being successful in our appeal of the FERC decision finding that the TO5 adder refund provision was triggered, could have a material adverse effect on SDG&E's and Sempra's results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. CPUC Authority Over Operational Matters Our operations are subject to CPUC rules (and similar FERC rules), commonly referred to as "affiliate rules," relating to transactions among SDG&E, SoCalGas and other Sempra businesses. These rules primarily impact market transactions and marketing activities involving transmission supply and capacity, including sales or other trades of natural gas or electricity within or among SDG&E and SoCalGas and Sempra and its covered affiliates. Noncompliance with these rules, as well as any changes to these rules or their interpretations or additional more restrictive CPUC or FERC rules related to transactions with affiliates, could materially adversely affect our operations and, in turn, our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. Additionally, the CPUC has regulatory authority related to safety standards and practices, reliability and planning, competitive conditions and a wide range of other operational matters, including citation and enforcement programs concerning matters such as safety activity, disconnection and billing practices, resource adequacy and environmental compliance. Many of these standards and citation and enforcement programs are becoming more stringent and could subject a utility to significant penalties and fines, as well as higher operating costs. The CPUC conducts reviews and audits of the matters under its authority and may launch investigations or open proceedings at its discretion, the results of which could include citations, disallowances, fines and penalties, as well as corrective or mitigation actions to address any noncompliance, any of which may not be sufficiently funded by customer rates or at all. Any such occurrence could result in other regulatory exposure, significant litigation, and reputational harm and could have a material adverse effect on SDG&E's, SoCalGas' and Sempra's results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. We discuss various CPUC proceedings relating to SDG&E and SoCalGas in Notes 4 and 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Regulatory Changes and Influence of Other Organizations SDG&E and SoCalGas incur significant capital, operating, and other costs associated with regulatory compliance. SDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra may be materially adversely affected by revisions or reinterpretations of existing or new legislation, regulations, decisions, orders or interpretations of the CPUC, the FERC or other regulatory bodies, any of which could change how SDG&E and SoCalGas operate, affect their ability to recover various costs through rates or adjustment mechanisms, require them to incur additional expenses and compliance costs or otherwise materially adversely affect their and Sempra's results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. SDG&E and SoCalGas are also affected by numerous advocacy groups, including California Public Advocates Office, The Utility Reform Network, Utility Consumers' Action Network and the Sierra Club. Success by any of these groups in directly or indirectly influencing legislators and regulators could have a material adverse effect on SDG&E's, SoCalGas' and Sempra's results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

As part of its bankruptcy proceedings, in 2016, EFH distributed all the outstanding shares of common stock of its subsidiary Vistra Corp. (formerly Vistra Energy Corp. and referred to herein as Vistra) to certain creditors of TCEH LLC (the spin-off), and Vistra became an independent, publicly traded company. Vistra's spin-off from EFH was intended to qualify for partially tax-free treatment to EFH and its shareholders under Sections 368(a)(1)(G), 355 and 356 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended) (collectively referred to as the Intended Tax Treatment). In connection with and as a condition to the spin-off, EFH received a private letter ruling from the IRS regarding certain issues relating to the Intended Tax Treatment, as well as tax opinions from counsel to EFH and Vistra regarding certain aspects of the spin-off not covered by the private letter ruling. In connection with the merger of EFH with a subsidiary of Sempra (the Merger), EFH received a supplemental private letter ruling from the IRS and Sempra and EFH received tax opinions from their respective counsels that generally provide that the Merger will not affect the conclusions reached in, respectively, the IRS private letter ruling and tax opinions issued with respect to the spin-off described above. Similar to the IRS private letter ruling and opinions issued with respect to the spin-off, the supplemental private letter ruling is generally binding on the IRS and any opinions issued with respect to the Merger are based on factual representations and assumptions, as well as certain undertakings, made by Sempra and EFH. If such representations and assumptions are untrue or incomplete, any such undertakings are not complied with, or the facts upon which the IRS supplemental private letter ruling or tax opinions (which will not impact the IRS position on the transactions) are based are different from the actual facts relating to the Merger, the tax opinions and/or supplemental private letter ruling may not be valid and could be challenged by the IRS. Even though Sempra Texas Holdings Corp. would have administrative appeal rights if the IRS were to invalidate its private letter ruling and/or supplemental private letter ruling, including the right to challenge any adverse IRS position in court, any such appeal would be subject to uncertainties and could fail. If it is ultimately determined that the Merger caused the spin-off not to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, Sempra, through its ownership of Sempra Texas Holdings Corp., could incur substantial tax liabilities, which would materially reduce the value associated with our investment in Oncor and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

More and Increasingly Severe Wildfires In recent years, California has experienced some of the largest wildfires (measured by acres burned and/or structures destroyed) in its history. Frequent and severe drought conditions, inconsistent and extreme swings in precipitation, changes in vegetation, unseasonably warm temperatures, low humidity, strong winds and other factors have increased the duration of the wildfire season and the intensity, prevalence and difficulty of prevention and containment of wildfires in California, including in SDG&E's and SoCalGas' service territories. Changing weather patterns, including as a result of climate change, could exacerbate these conditions. Certain of California's local land use policies and forestry management practices have allowed for the construction and development of residential and commercial projects in high-risk fire areas, which could lead to increased third-party claims and greater losses related to fires for which SDG&E or SoCalGas may be liable. The LA Fires damaged some of SoCalGas' natural gas infrastructure and significant third-party property and resulted in service disruptions in some of its service territory. Future wildfires in SDG&E's or SoCalGas' service territories could compromise SDG&E's and SoCalGas' electric and natural gas infrastructure and result in further service disruptions. Any such wildfires in SDG&E's and SoCalGas' territories (or outside of SDG&E's territory in the event the Wildfire Fund is materially diminished) could materially adversely affect SDG&E's, SoCalGas' and Sempra's results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects, which we discuss further in this risk factor below and above under "Risks Related to All Sempra Businesses – Operational Risks." The Wildfire Legislation In July 2019, the Wildfire Legislation was signed into law, which we discuss in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Wildfire Legislation's legal standard for the recovery of wildfire costs may not be implemented effectively or applied consistently, we may not be eligible for the Wildfire Legislation's cap on wildfire-related liability if SDG&E fails to maintain a valid annual safety certification from the OEIS or meet other requirements, and/or the Wildfire Fund could be exhausted due to claims against the fund by SDG&E or other participating IOUs as a result of fires in their respective service territories, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Sempra's and SDG&E's results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. PG&E is seeking reimbursement from the Wildfire Fund for losses associated with the Dixie Fire, which burned from July 2021 through October 2021. In addition, fires of the size and scope of the recent LA Fires, if found to have been caused by a participating IOU, could have a material adverse effect on the Wildfire Fund. In the case of the LA fires, the causes of these fires have not been determined and therefore these fires may not impact the Wildfire Fund. In addition, the Wildfire Legislation did not change the doctrine of inverse condemnation, which imposes strict liability (meaning that liability is imposed regardless of fault) on a utility whose equipment is determined to be a cause of a fire. In such an event, the utility would be responsible for the costs of damages, including business interruption losses, interest and attorneys' fees, even if the utility is not found negligent. In the past, the CPUC has denied recovery of incurred costs associated with wildfire claims despite the doctrine of inverse condemnation, which was historically based on the ability of a utility to pass such costs through to rate payers. The doctrine of inverse condemnation also is not exclusive of other theories of liability, such as negligence, under which additional liabilities, such as fire suppression, clean-up and evacuation costs, medical expenses, and personal injury, punitive and other damages, could be imposed. We are unable to predict the impact of the Wildfire Legislation on SDG&E's ability to recover costs and expenses if SDG&E's equipment is determined to be a cause of a fire, and specifically in the context of the application of inverse condemnation. Cost Recovery Through Insurance or Rates As a result of California's doctrine of inverse condemnation, substantial losses recorded by insurance companies, and increased wildfire risk, obtaining insurance coverage for wildfires potentially associated with SDG&E's equipment (or, to a lesser extent, SoCalGas) has become increasingly difficult and costly. If these conditions continue or worsen, including as a result of the LA Fires, insurance for wildfire liabilities may become unavailable or may become prohibitively expensive and we may be denied recovery of insurance cost increases through the regulatory process. In addition, insurance for wildfire liabilities may not be sufficient to cover all losses we may incur, or it may not be available to meet the $1.0 billion of primary insurance required by the Wildfire Legislation. Wildfire insurance may also become prohibitively expensive or unavailable for homeowners and businesses in SDG&E's service territory, potentially increasing SDG&E's financial exposure if a wildfire is found to be caused by SDG&E's equipment. We are unable to predict whether we would be able to recover in rates or from the Wildfire Fund the amount of any uninsured losses. A loss that is not fully insured, is not sufficiently covered by the Wildfire Fund and/or cannot be recovered in customer rates could materially adversely affect Sempra's and one or both of SDG&E's and SoCalGas' results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. Wildfire Mitigation Efforts Although we expend significant resources on measures designed to mitigate wildfire risks, these measures may not be effective in preventing wildfires or reducing our wildfire-related losses, and their costs may not be fully recoverable in rates. SDG&E is required by California law to submit wildfire mitigation plans for approval by the OEIS and could be subject to increased risks if these plans are not approved in a timely manner or SDG&E is determined to not have substantially complied with its approved plans, including the risk of fines or penalties for noncompliance. One of our wildfire mitigation strategies is to de-energize certain circuits for safety when there is elevated weather-related wildfire ignition risk. These "public safety power shutoffs" have been subject to scrutiny by various stakeholders, including customers, regulators and lawmakers, which could increase the risk of liability for damages associated with these events if SDG&E is found not to have acted within applicable guidelines and regulations. Such costs may not be recoverable in rates. Unrecoverable costs, adverse legislation or rulemaking, stakeholder scrutiny, ineffective wildfire mitigation measures or other negative effects associated with these efforts could materially adversely affect SDG&E's and Sempra's results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
