What is the reason for the decline in earnings from $713 million in Q2 2024 to $461 million in Q2 2025?

The press release you referenced gives the headline earnings figures for the two periods – $713 million in GAAP net income for Q2 2024 versus $461 million for Q2 2025 – but it does not include any explicit explanation for why earnings fell between those quarters.

In the excerpt you provided, the only information supplied is the comparison of the two earnings amounts; there are no details about:

  • changes in revenue or cost structure,
  • impacts from one‑time items (e.g., asset impairments, gains or losses on disposals),
  • variations in operating expenses, regulatory charges, or tax rates,
  • the performance of specific business segments (e.g., infrastructure, utilities, or international operations), or
  • broader market or macro‑economic conditions that might have affected Sempra’s results.

Because the press‑release excerpt does not mention any specific drivers of the earnings decline, we cannot definitively state the cause based solely on the information given. To obtain a complete answer, you would need to consult the full earnings release, the accompanying earnings‑call transcript, or any detailed commentary that Sempra provided to investors regarding the factors that contributed to the lower Q2 2025 GAAP earnings.
