| Schedule Of Earnings Per Share Computations |
The following table provides EPS computations for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted EPS includes the potential dilution of common stock equivalent shares that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. | | | | | | | | | | | | | EARNINGS PER SHARE COMPUTATIONS AND DIVIDENDS DECLARED | (Dollars in millions, except per share amounts; shares in thousands) | | Years ended December 31, | | 2016 | | 2015 | | 2014 | Numerator: | | | | | | Earnings/Income attributable to common shares | $ | 1,370 |

| | (1) | Includes average fully vested RSUs held in our Deferred Compensation Plan of 568 in 2016, 491 in 2015 and 212 in 2014. These fully vested RSUs are included in weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic EPS because there are no conditions under which the corresponding shares will not be issued. |
| | (2) | Reflects the prospective adoption of ASU 2016-09 as of January 1, 2016. Prior to the adoption, the dilutive effect of stock options, RSAs and RSUs was reduced by excess tax benefits assumed to be used to repurchase shares on the open market. |
| | (3) | Due to market fluctuations of both Sempra Energy stock and the comparative indices used to determine the vesting percentage of our total shareholder return performance-based RSUs, which we discuss in Note 8, dilutive RSUs may vary widely from period-to-period. |
| | (4) | Our board of directors has the discretion to determine the payment and amount of future dividends. |
