Frequently Asked Questions

The primary purpose of this 8-K filing is to announce Sempra's financial results for the second quarter and the first six months of 2023. It also serves to inform investors about a corporate action: the approval of a two-for-one stock split.

A two-for-one stock split, in this case implemented as a 100% stock dividend, means that for every share of Sempra common stock you own on the record date (August 14, 2023), you will receive one additional share. This will double the number of shares you hold. While the number of shares doubles, the total value of your investment is expected to remain the same immediately after the split, as the stock price will adjust proportionally (typically halved).

The detailed financial results and segment data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, are provided in Exhibits 99.1 (press release) and 99.2 (Statements of Operations Data by Segment) attached to this Form 8-K filing. You can access these exhibits through the SEC's EDGAR database or Sempra's investor relations website.

Sempra has outlined several significant risks, including substantial liabilities related to California wildfires, ongoing regulatory scrutiny from bodies like the CPUC, challenges in completing construction projects on time and budget, increasing cybersecurity threats, and the impact of rising interest rates and inflation on its financial condition and ability to borrow.
