ONCOR REPORTS IMPROVED THIRD QUARTER 2018 RESULTS

DALLAS (November 7, 2018) — Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (“Oncor”) today reported third quarter 2018 net income of $194 million compared to third quarter 2017 net income of $157 million.

“We are pleased with our financial performance in the third quarter,” said Allen Nye, chief executive of Oncor. “Our solid operational and financial results are another example of the value we deliver for our customers, our shareholders, and the state of Texas.”

Oncor’s net income of $426 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared favorably to net income of $343 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Financial and operational results are provided in Tables A, B, C and D below.

Operating Highlights

On October 18, 2018 Oncor announced its intent to acquire 100 percent of the equity interests of InfraREIT, Inc. (NYSE: HIFR) (“InfraREIT”), including all the limited-partnership units in its subsidiary, InfraREIT Partners, LP, for approximately $1.275 billion. Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE), the owner of 80.25% of Oncor’s outstanding membership interests, and certain indirect equity holders of Texas Transmission Investment LLC, the owner of 19.75% of Oncor’s outstanding membership interests, have provided an equity commitment letter for up to $1.330 billion to fund the cash consideration payable by Oncor and the payment of certain fees and expenses relating to the transaction. The transaction also includes InfraREIT’s outstanding debt, which totaled an aggregate of approximately $945 million at September 30, 2018. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other closing conditions. If all such regulatory approvals are received and closing conditions are satisfied, Oncor expects to close the transaction in mid-2019.
