A Rainy Day

Street Worries on LNG; Mgmt can still hit 2020 goals with EPS shift

SRE's 3Q16 conference call was largely dominated by data points around its Cameron LNG project and potential gas pipeline acquisition in Peru, both of which negatively impacted the stock. We are maintaining our Buy rating as well as our confidence in mgmts. 2020 EPS target of $7.50 at the mid-point. Investors fret about the EPS shift regarding potential Cameron LNG delays. We emphasize this is merely a shift in earnings and we still expect $815Mn of EBITDA from the segment in 2020, leaving our SOP unchanged. Rather, the contract solves for an IRR based on capital deployed suggesting even mild upside bias on the delay (this has some nuance as well). Bottom line, this 6 month delay should not affect the fundamental EPS growth targets.

CBI downplays project delay risk; just a modest 3Q weather delay

In contrast to the ~6-months discussed by SRE, CBI characterized the delay as just a few weeks behind due to the heavy rain and flooding in Louisiana. Further we note CBI did not recognize any financial impacts in its latest quarterly results on account of the delay indicating less concern as well. While a bit unnerving on the different takes from the two partners, the ultimate bias appears to be less delayed than more so.

Peru Talks hit snag: expect updates in next ~couple months

Mgmt noted on the call that there are several issues still to be tackled in the discussions for Odebrechts 50% stake in a ~$6.5Bn Peruvian pipeline, which have dampened investors hopes for an acquisition and a meaningful EPS uplift (we see ~47 cents of earnings contribution). While we see execution as the key issue here should it succeed, the complexity of the project transfer given existing project debt isn’t trivial.

Valuation: Remain Buy Rated: PT Unchanged at $116

We're surprised by the extent of negative reaction y'day. While it’s a surprise for the project, we emphasize the weather impact does not appear to have a structural/ongoing issue. We attribute some of the weakness to Peru, a potentially substantial opportunity. We reiterate our SOTP PT and Buy rating, as this appears a transitory issue, w.r.t LNG contract design. We flag the cost of debt difference vs authorized is the smallest of any CA peer, making the risk of a ROE settlement inclusive of debt all that much more reduced should it materialize in the ~Dec timeframe.

LNG Cameron Delay Weighing on Shares

Mgmt disclosed on the call they're experiencing delays with Cameron LNG. Cameron's EPC contractor indicated Trains 1-3 in-service dates are facing delays stemming from flooding at the EPC contractors fabrication facility. Trains 1, 2 and 3 are now delayed to mid-2018, late 2018 and mid-2019 respectively. Sempra's base plan called for all three trains to be in-service by FY2019. In turn, the delay will likely cause 2018 and 2019 Cameron earnings to be lower than anticipated, but we emphasize mgmt. noted these earnings will be made up over time, given the IRR has a tariff established in order to adjust to any costs associated with the delay, preserving the project NPV. The terms of the agreement with the EPC contractor allow for adjustments that are designed to substantially maintain the expected NPV for the project.

We have previously noted that investors have immense focus on the LNG story, and careful communication around LNG are parallel given the LNG prospects will aid SRE in exceeding its 2020 EPS guidance.

How could discussions between SRE and its EPC contractor play out?

We note that based off commentary from the call mgmt. still is grasping the scope of delays at Cameron LNG, and after examining the conference call from Cameron's LNGs EPC provider, we ask why the timeline was not disclosed at the EPC. We find the disconnect intriguing given SRE noted on the call that they have received a detailed schedule. We emphasize the EPC contractor, Chicago Bridge & Iron Co. NV (CBI), noted on its Oct 27 conference call that the recent floods in Louisiana caused a schedule impact, though they did not provide any color as to how long the delays would be. Below we lay out different scenarios that could play out as SRE and CBI discuss project timeline:. See additional thoughts from our colleague Steve Fisher on Cameron LNG here from the CBI perspective on this issue.

Contractor claims force majeure citing the State of Emergency declared in Louisiana as a result of the torrential rain and flooding. In lump sum turn-key projects like this, there usually is not much cushion for error for EPC contracts. This may be one way for CBI to recover costs, while pushing out the projects. That said, SRE noted that rain does not qualify for force majeure. A situation like this would most likely result in a settlement, in our view, albeit this very well could push the timeline out further.
Contractor is still assessing the impacts of the delays, and did not disclose any timeline before speaking with SRE. While there could be risk to the delivery date, the contractor could still very easily catch up with the delayed work.
Contractor is developing an unapproved change order.
Contractor is working with SRE for an approved change order. We see this as unlikely based of the current deal that SRE struck, which is tailored to keep them whole on both sides between the customer and the contractor.

Earnings Shift – Still Many Unknowns, but Sell-Off Unwarranted

The length of delays are clearly still yet to be known, given management has just learned about the issues and will be meeting with the contractor soon for a clearer picture on the potential impacts. Mgmt. additionally has very little color on the exact issues that are driving the delays. We expect further updates from management following their discussions with the EPC contractor.

Bearish investors may point out CBI's work with the SCG and SO nuclear facilities, using past history to assume continued delays with Cameron LNG. We emphasize though the characteristics of a nuclear project and LNG project differ greatly, and CBI has many successful projects outside of its nuclear work. We believe the markets concern lies with the shift in earnings if there is a delay in the Cameron project but note at the end of the day SRE will still be making its original NPV on the project, and this is now more of a timing issue rather than lost earnings. Mgmt expects the NPV to not be materially different, with only a shift to increased earnings from 2018 to outer years.

We understand why the market reacted to LNG news so negatively (SRE underperformed the XLU by ~4% on the announcement), and note the Cameron LNG project currently represents ~$20/share on our SOP. However, given there is only a shift in earnings vs a loss, we believe there seems to be a doubt in the market that SRE can fully recover the full project NPV.

The Cameron LNG baseline project value within our SOP analysis is based on 2020E EBITDA of $815m. We note that while the project was pushed out, we continue to see the in-service dates of all three trains before 2020, and thus our SOP value remains in-tact.

Peru Opportunity – Expectations Tapered but Expect Resolution by YE

The goal remains to keep International at ~35% through the forecast period

Management confirmed recent reports that they are in continued discussions to acquire Odebrechts 50% stake in the $6.5Bn Gasoducto Sur Peroano (GSP) natural gas pipeline project in Peru. However, SRE indicated the need to resolve several significant issues before an agreement could be reached, dampening hopes for those who were looking for a deal. Mgmt has repeatedly looked at expanding its existing utility investments in Peru, given the likely high-return proposition. We emphasize mgmt. seems hopeful that an agreement can be reached but they're providing no assurance. We expect further details to emerge in the near team and emphasize our expectations for final announcement before year end.

3Q Takeaways

SRE reported EPS of $1.02 vs UBSe $0.92 and $0.95 Consensus driven by higher earnings at its California utilities, offset by lower earnings at Sempra international due to unfavourable FX and inflation in Q316. Mgmt continues to execute on the international side including a successful $1.6Bn equity raise at Ienova that was multiple times oversubscribed. We note SRE participated in the offering, purchasing $351Mn of stock. SRE ownership due to the secondary has now been diluted to ~66% share of the company.

Ienova Continues to Deliver

Ienova delivered results in line with Street expectations (see UBS takeaways here) but we highlight is adding more renewables with the pending 242MW Ventika wind acquisition, expected to close Q416 as well as awards (141MW) in recent greenfield auctions for 15yr US contracts. We continue to see SRE positioned well in Mexico, especially in the context of transmission as there are bids expected to be out in 2017 for ~$1.2Bn of transmission projects (Oaxaca) in the country. Oaxaca specifically will be connecting windfarms to electricity demand in the center of the country. See our note here for Ventika project economics.

We continue look for additional developments on the Baja Sur gas pipeline, though we note given the connection in Cabo San Lucas may not be as attractive because of the small industrial footprint.

SoCalGas Updates

Management noted on the call SoCalGas has made significant infrastructure technology and safety enhancements to the Aliso Canyon facility, and recently requested authority from DOGGR and the CPUC which could be approved by year-end. Root cause analysis report is due in the 1H17 with timing dictated by DOGGR, but we note mgmt can receive approval before the root cause analysis finding due to the SB380 rule, which requires satisfaction of a comprehensive safety review as an independent path from root cause analysis. Additionally, mgmt. released that their insurance coverage for Aliso Canyon ranges from $1.2B – 1.4B, giving investors additional comfort for the costs associated with claims (currently stands at $763Mn).

SDG&E Adding Renewables

We note a fairly quiet quarter at SDG&E with earnings primarily driven by $10Mn higher CPUC base margin. Additionally, SDG&E recently was approved to own and operate 37.5MW of battery storage, expected to be placed into service 1Q17. Mgmt sees an increased opportunity for batteries citing a 200MW opportunity on the call stemming from a new bill 2868 which calls for 500MW of new batteries to be installed. We continue to see upside to the plan at both utilities on the back of Storage, EV, and Otay Mesa acquisition among more tangible developments.

PT Unchanged at $116

Our price target remains unchanged at $116 and is predicated on a SOP analysis. We see upside to the current shares given the recent dislocation in the stock and the potential future deployment of capital across a variety of avenues that SRE has to execute on in the outer years.
