Ceremony Highlights One of America's Leading Utility Growth Businesses

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra (NYSE:SRE) celebrated its next chapter of growth as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey W. Martin and members of the board of directors rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The ceremony reflected Sempra's continued momentum as it advances its mission to build America's leading utility growth business.

"We are pleased to celebrate our longstanding relationship with the NYSE as we renew our commitment to help lead our industry in meeting rising energy demand across some of America's largest and fastest-growing markets," said Jeffrey W. Martin, chairman and CEO of Sempra. "This is an exciting time for our company. By simplifying our business model and strengthening our financial position, we are better positioned to invest in critical energy infrastructure that serves nearly 40 million consumers. By continuing to enhance safety, reliability and resilience, we are working hard every day to create meaningful long-term value for our stakeholders."

To help meet growing energy demand, Sempra has refined its corporate strategy to strengthen its position in major economic markets and shift capital to meet the growing needs of its U.S. utilities.

"Across the next decade, we expect economic growth will be fueled by domestic manufacturing, investments in critical infrastructure and advances in AI technologies that reshape how America competes on the global stage. At Sempra, we understand that modernizing and expanding the energy grid is central to that effort," said Martin.

Sempra's utility growth strategy is supported by a record $65 billion capital plan,¹ with approximately 95% of planned investments directed toward regulated utilities, alongside a capital recycling program designed to efficiently fund growth and strengthen the company's financial position. These actions reflect Sempra's disciplined execution of its 2026 value creation initiatives and support its objective of generating approximately 95% of earnings from regulated U.S. utilities in 2027, as well as having more than 60% of its rate base located in Texas through the end of the decade.² The strategy is designed to support continued investment in modernizing and expanding energy infrastructure while helping power America's growing economy.
