Each of Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Infrastructure Investments Fund. Following completion of the transaction, SJI intends to delist its shares from the New York Stock Exchange.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of SJI’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive $36.00 in cash, without interest.

The closing of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals by the BPU.

The Merger Agreement places limitations on SJI’s ability to engage in certain types of transactions without Parent’s consent between the signing of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, including limitations on SJI’s ability to issue dividends other than consistent with its past practices, acquire other businesses, issue equity of SJI (except in the ordinary course pursuant to equity compensation plans) and, subject to certain exceptions, incur certain indebtedness for borrowed money.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights, including the right of SJI or Parent to terminate if the Merger is not consummated within 12 months after signing, subject to certain extensions and exceptions. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company may be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $140.0 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain specified circumstances. The Merger Agreement additionally provides that Parent pay the Company a termination fee of $255.0 million under certain specified circumstances.

In connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, 8 complaints were filed as individual actions in United States District Court. The plaintiffs have subsequently dismissed these claims without prejudice. See Note 11.

On April 11, 2022, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement with the SEC in connection with the Merger. On May 3, 2022, the Company filed additional proxy soliciting materials related to the Merger.

The FERC established a May 16, 2022 deadline date for comments on the filing. While several motions to intervene were filed, only one entity filed substantive comments on the FERC Application for Approval. Those comments did not ask FERC to reject the FERC Application for Approval, but questioned the description of IIF’s affiliates.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION - SJI's condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SJI, its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (including SJG) and subsidiaries in which SJI has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In management’s opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements of SJI and SJG reflect all normal recurring adjustments needed to fairly present their respective financial positions, operating results and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. SJI’s and SJG's businesses are subject to seasonal fluctuations and, accordingly, this interim financial information should not be the basis for estimating the full year’s operating results.

As permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of SJI and SJG contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with SJI’s and SJG's Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. There were no significant changes in or changes in the application of the Company’s significant or critical accounting policies or estimation

procedures for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 as compared with the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, except for the identification of our segments as discussed in Note 6.

Certain prior years' data presented in the financial statements and footnotes have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.2021.

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS - The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared to conform with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include amounts related to regulatory accounting, energy derivatives, environmental remediation costs, legal contingencies, pension and other postretirement benefit costs, revenue recognition, goodwill, evaluation of equity method investments for other-than-temporary impairment, income taxes, and allowance for credit losses. Estimates may be subject to future uncertainties, including the continued evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our operations and economic conditions, which could affect the fair value of the ETG reporting unit and its goodwill balance (see Note 17), as well as the allowance for credit losses and the total impact and potential recovery of incremental costs associated with COVID-19 (see Notes 5 and 8)8, respectively).

ACQUISITIONS - Catamaran and a third party formed Bronx Midco, of which Catamaran owns 99%. On June 9, 2021, Bronx Midco purchased a fuel cell project in Bronx, NY, of which Marina, through its ownership in Catamaran, has a 92% ownership interest. See Note 16. For further discussion on prior acquisitions, refer to Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of SJI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

SALE OF SOLAR ASSETS - On June 27, 2018, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Marina, entered into a series of agreements whereby Marina agreed to sell its then-existing portfolio of solar energy projects (for this section, the "Projects"), along with the assets comprising the Projects. These sales occurred during 2018-2020, including one Project sold during the first quarter of 2020 for total consideration of $7.2 million. In connection with this transaction, Marina is leasing back from the buyer certain of the Projects that have not yet passed the fifth anniversary of their placed-in-service dates for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The leaseback runs from the date each such Project was acquired by the buyer until the later of the first anniversary of the applicable acquisition date and the fifth anniversary of the applicable placed-in-service date of the project. As of June 30, 2021, there are 10 such Projects being leased back from the buyer through the end of 2021, which is the fifth anniversary of their placed-in-service date. The results of these Projects being leased back are not material.

SALE OF MTF & ACB - On February 18, 2020, the Company sold MTF and ACB to a third-party buyer for a final sales price of $97.0 million including working capital.

SALE OF ELK - On July 31, 2020, the Company sold ELK to a third-party buyer. Total consideration received in 2020 was approximately $15.6 million. The working capital settlement finalized in the first quarter of 2021 was not material.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS - See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements under "Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 for additional information regarding the Company's policy on impairments of long-lived assets. In the second quarter of 2022, it was determined that SJG had property, plant and equipment that was unusable which resulted in SJI and SJG recording an impairment charge of approximately $1.9 million to Impairment Charges on the condensed consolidated statements of (loss)/income for SJI and SJG during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. These impairment charges were recorded to the SJG Utility Operations segment. No impairments of long-lived assets were identified at SJI or SJG for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

See discussion of impairment considerations related to goodwill and other intangible assets in Note 17.

Table of Contents

REGULATION - The Utilities are subject to the rules and regulations of the BPU. See Note 7 for a discussion of the Utilities' rate structure and regulatory actions. The Utilities maintain their accounts according to the BPU's prescribed Uniform System of Accounts. The Utilities follow the accounting for regulated enterprises prescribed by ASC 980, Regulated Operations, which allows for the deferral of certain costs (regulatory assets) and creation of certain obligations (regulatory liabilities) when it is probable that such items will be recovered from or refunded to customers in future periods. See Note 8 for more information related to regulatory assets and liabilities.

OPERATING REVENUES - Gas and electric revenues are recognized in the period the commodity is delivered to customers. For retail customers (including customers of SJG) that are not billed at the end of the month, we record an estimate to recognize unbilled revenues for gas and electricity delivered from the date of the last meter reading to the end of the month. The Utilities also have revenues that arise from alternative revenue programs, which are discussed in Note 15. For ETG and SJG, unrealized gains and losses on energy-related derivative instruments are recorded in Regulatory Assets or Regulatory Liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets of SJI and SJG (see Note 12) until they become realized, in which case they are recognized in operating revenues. SJRG's gas revenues are recognized in the period the commodity is delivered, and operating revenues for SJRG include realized and unrealized gains and losses on energy-related derivative instruments. SJRG presents revenues and expenses related to its energy trading activities on a net basis in operating revenues. This net presentation has no effect on operating income or net income. The Company recognizes revenues on commissions received related to SJESP appliance service contracts, from a third party, along with commissions received related to AEP and EnerConnex energy procurement service contracts, from a third party, on a monthly basis as the commissions are earned. Marina recognizes revenue for renewable energy projects when output is generated and delivered to the customer, and when renewable energy credits have been transferred to the third party at an agreed upon price.

We considered the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on operating revenues, noting that SJI and SJG have not seen a significant reduction in revenues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is due to the delivery of gas and electricity being considered an essential service, with delivery to customers continuing in a timely manner with no delays or operational shutdowns taking place to date. To the extent that the pandemic does impact our ability to deliver in the future, operating revenues could be impacted. Currently, the impact of the pandemic on the collectability of our accounts receivable continues to be monitored, but such receivables have traditionally been included in rate recovery (see Note 8).

INCOME TAXES - Deferred income taxes are provided for all significant temporary differences between the book and taxable bases of assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Certain deferred income taxes are recorded with offsetting regulatory assets or liabilities by the Company to recognize that income taxes will be recovered or refunded through future rates.

Table of Contents
A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that any of SJI's or SJG's deferred tax assets will not be realized. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, SJI recorded a valuation allowance of $14.2 million against the federal deferred tax asset related to the capital loss that resulted from the other-than-temporary impairment charge taken on the Company's investment in PennEast (see Note 3). As of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, SJI had a total federal and state valuation allowance of $22.5 million recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI's and SJG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for information related to these valuation allowances. SJG believes that they will generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the income tax benefits related to their net deferred tax assets.

The Company evaluates certain tax benefits that have been recorded in the financial statements for uncertainties. During the three months ended June 30,In 2021, SJG recorded a reserve of $13.9 million for a portion of tax benefits related to tax positions taken in prior years. The reserve is recorded in Other Noncurrent Liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal and state tax authorities, which could result in proposed assessments. Future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period any assessments are determined or resolved or as such statutory audit periods are closed. We are not aware of any other matters that would result in significant changes to the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheetsheets as of June 30, 2021.2022.

The U.S. federal government provides businesses with an ITC under Section 48 of the Internal Revenue Code, available to the owner of solar and fuel cell systems that are purchased and placed into service. The Company recognizes ITC on eligible assets in the year in which the project commences commercial operations. Among other requirements, such credits require projects to have commenced construction by a certain date. Accordingly, projects are eligible for a 30% ITC for projects that commenced construction in 2019, 26% ITC for projects that commence construction in 2020-2022, 22% for projects that commence construction in 2023, and 10% for projects that commence construction thereafter. ITCs recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were $10.9 million and $11.9 million, respectively. ITCs recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were not material.

GOODWILL - SeeSee Note 17.

LEASES - As part of the acquisition of the Bronx Midco fuel cell project (see Note 16), a real estate lease was acquired resulting in the recognition of an ROU asset and a lease liability upon acquisition each of $6.6 million, which are recorded in Other Noncurrent Assets and Other Noncurrent Liabilities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2021. This arrangement is classified as an operating lease with the lease cost associated with this lease recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term of 35 years. There have been no other significant changes to the nature or balances of the Company's leases since December 31, 2020,2021, which are described in Notes 1 andNote 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
This ASU removes exceptions related to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for changes in ownership of a foreign subsidiary or equity method investment, and the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when the year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss.

ASU 2020-06: Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own EquityThe amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470-20. Under the amendments, embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and a convertible preferred stock will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. The amendments also add new convertible instrument disclosure requirements. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU remove certain conditions from the settlement guidance within the derivative scope exception guidance contained in Subtopic 815-40 and further clarify the derivative scope exception guidance. Finally, the amendments in this ASU align the diluted EPS calculation for convertible instruments by requiring that an entity use the if-converted method instead of the treasury stock method when calculated diluted EPS for convertible instruments.January 1, 2022; early adoption permitted, but not before January 1, 2021.2022Retrospective or Modified RetrospectiveManagement is currently determining the impact that adoptionAdoption of this guidance willdid not have a material impact on the financial statementsstatement results of SJI and SJGor SJG.

2.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN:

Under SJI's Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (Plan), shares, stock appreciation rights, and options may be issued to SJI’s officers (Officers), non-employee directors (Directors) and other key employees.

Grants to Officers and other key employees - SJI grants time-based shares of restricted stock, one-third of which vest annually over a three-year period and which are limited to a 100% payout. The vesting and payout of time-based shares of restricted stock is solely contingent upon the service requirement being met in years one, two, and three of the grant. Performance-basedSJI also grants performance-based restricted shares which vest over a three-year period and are subject to SJI achieving certain market andor earnings-based performance targets, which can cause the actual amount of shares that ultimately vest to range from 0% to 200% of the original shares granted. During the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and June 30, 2020,2021, SJI granted a total of 243,540184,935 and 225,278243,540 restricted shares, respectively, to Officers and other key employees under the Plan. NaNNo options were granted or outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020. NaN2021. No stock appreciation rights have been issued under the Plan.

GrantsPerformance-based grants containing market-based performance targets use SJI's TSR relative to a peer group to measure performance. As TSR-basedthese TSR-related performance-based grants are contingent upon market and service conditions, SJI is required to measure and recognize stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value at the date of grant on a straight-line basis over the requisite three-year period of each award. In addition, SJI identifies specific forfeitures of share-based awards, and compensation expense is adjusted accordingly over the requisite service period. Compensation expense is not

Table of Contents
Earnings-basedPerformance-based grants containing earnings-based performance targets includeuse pre-defined EGRCEGR goals for SJI to measure performance. Performance targets include pre-defined CEGR for SJI. As EGR-based and CEGR-based grants are contingent upon performance and service conditions, SJI is required to measure and recognize stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value at the date of grant over the requisite three-year period of each award. The fair value is measured as the market price at the date of grant. The initial accruals of compensation expense are based on the estimated number of shares expected to vest, assuming the requisite service is rendered and probable outcome of the performance condition is achieved. That estimate is revised if subsequent information indicates that the actual number of shares is likely to differ from previous estimates. Compensation expense is ultimately adjusted based on the actual achievement of service and performance targets.

Grants to Directors - During the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and June 30, 2020,2021, SJI granted 54,41932,003 and 36,82954,419 restricted shares, respectively, to its Directors. Shares issued to Directors vest over twelve months and contain no performance conditions. As a result, 100% of the shares granted generally vest.

The following table summarizes the nonvested restricted stock awards outstanding at June 30, 2021,2022, and the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the awards:

Expected volatility is based on the actual volatility of SJI’s share price over the preceding three-year period as of the valuation date. The risk-free interest rate is based on the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury Bond, with a term equal to the three-year term of the Officers’ and other key employees’ restricted shares. As notional dividend equivalents are credited to the holders during the three-year service period, no reduction to the fair value of the award is required. As the Directors’ restricted stock awards contain no performance conditions and dividends are paid or credited to the holder during the twelve month service period, the fair value of these awards is equal to the market value of the shares on the date of grant.

The following table summarizes the total stock-based compensation cost to SJI for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 20202021 (in thousands):

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, SJI awarded 142,529 shares to its Officers and other key employees at a market value of $3.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, SJI awarded 72,145 shares at a market value of $2.0 million. These awarded amounts for 2021 and 2020 include awards for previously deferred shares that were paid during the six month periods.

SJI also awarded 36,829 and 30,961 service based award shares to its Directors at a market value of $1.2 million and $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

SJI has a policy of issuing new shares to satisfy its obligations under the Plan; therefore, there are no cash payment requirements resulting from the normal operation of the Plan. However, a change in control could result in such shares becoming non-forfeitable or immediately payable in cash. At the discretion of the Officers, Directors and other key employees, the receipt of vested shares can be deferred until future periods. These deferred shares are included in Treasury Stock on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

A change in control could result in such shares becoming non-forfeitable or immediately payable in cash. At the Effective Time of the Merger, each share granted and outstanding under the Plan immediately before the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive $36.00 in cash, without interest.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, SJI issued 128,238 shares to its Officers and other key employees at a market value of $3.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, SJI issued 142,529 shares to its Officers and other key employees at a market value of $3.5 million. These issued shares include shares deferred for payout in prior periods.

SJG - Officers and other key employees of SJG participate in the stock-based compensation plans of SJI. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, there were 10,230 and 2020, 23,010 restricted shares, respectively (time-based and performance-based), granted to SJG Officersofficers and other key employees, were granted 23,010 and 7,902 shares of SJI restricted stock, respectively, which had an immaterial impact to SJG's financial statements for both periods.

On September 10, 2019, the U.S. Court of AppealsSJG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Third Circuit ruled thatyear ended December 31, 2021 for a timeline of events related to PennEast, does not have eminent domain authority over NJ state-owned lands. A Petition for Rehearing En Banc was deniedincluding the determination by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit on November 5, 2019.
On October 8, 2019, the NJDEP denied and closed PennEast’s application for several permits without prejudice, citing the Third Circuit decision. On October 11, 2019, PennEast submitted a letter to the NJDEP objecting to its positionpartners that the application is administratively incomplete. PennEast's objections were rejected by the NJDEP on November 18, 2019.
In December 2019, PennEast asked the FERC for a two-year extension to construct the pipeline.
On January 30, 2020, the FERC voted to approve PennEast’s petition for a declaratory order and expedited action requesting that FERC issue an order interpreting the Natural Gas Act’s eminent domain authority. On the same day, PennEast filed an amendment with the FERC to construct PennEast in two phases. Phase one consists of construction of a pipeline in Pennsylvania from the eastern Marcellus Shale region in Luzerne County that would terminate in Northampton County. Phase two includes constructionfurther development of the remaining original certificated route in Pennsylvaniaproject is no longer supported, and New Jersey. Construction is expected to begin following approval by the FERCthus all further development of the phased approach and receipt of any remaining governmental and regulatory permits.
On February 18, 2020, PennEast filed a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States ("petition") to review the September 10, 2019 Third Circuit decision.
On February 20, 2020, the FERC granted PennEast’s request for a two-year extension to complete the construction of the pipeline.

On April 14, 2020, The U.S. Supreme Court ordered the state of New Jersey to respond to PennEast's petition. The court directed NJ respondents, including state agencies and the NJ Conservation Foundation, to answer the petition by PennEast. The state responded on June 2, 2020.
On June 29, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court invited the U.S. Solicitor General to file a brief expressing the views of the United States.
On December 9, 2020 the Solicitor General filed a brief supporting PennEast's petition for a Writ of Certiorari.

On February 3, 2021, the Supreme Court granted PennEast's petition for a Writ of Certiorari.
On June 29, 2021, the Supreme Court ruled that PennEast can sue New Jersey to secure key land-use rights for the project.

Despite the favorable outcome from the Supreme Court, PennEast continues to experience regulatory and legal challenges resulting in continued delays preventing the commencement of construction and commercial operation of the project.project has ceased. As a result the Company evaluated its investment in PennEast for an other-than-temporary impairment as of June 30, 2021. Our impairment assessment used a discounted cash flow income approach, including consideration of the severity and duration of any decline in fair value of our investment in the project. Our significant estimates and assumptions included development options and the likelihoods of success of such options, potential regulatory and legal outcomes, construction costs, timing of in-service dates, revenues (including forecasted volumes and rates), and discount rates. The Company estimated the fair value of its investment in PennEast using probability weighted scenarios assigned to discounted future cash flows.

Based upon this analysis,determination, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $87.4 million, which iswas recorded in Equity in Earnings (Losses) Earnings from Affiliates in the condensed consolidated statements of (loss)/income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. After taking this charge,

During the Company’ssix months ended June 30, 2022, PennEast sold certain project related assets and received refunds of interconnection fees from interstate pipelines.As a result, the PennEast board of managers approved cash distributions to members of the partnership totaling $9.5 million per partner. The return of capital was received by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2022, and eliminated the remaining carrying value of its equity method investment in PennEast totaled $8.0on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As a result of these distributions, the Company recorded $1.2 million asto Other Income and Expense on the condensed consolidated statements of June 30, 2021 as compared to $91.3 million as of December 31, 2020.

It is reasonably possible that there could be other future unfavorable developments, such as a reduced likelihood of success from development options and regulatory and legal outcomes, estimated increases in construction costs, increases in the discount rate, or further significant delays, or PennEast could conclude that the project is not viable or does not go forward as actions progress. These could impact our conclusions with respect to other-than-temporary impairment and may require that we recognize an additional impairment charge of up to our recorded investment in the project, net of any cash and working capital. The ultimate outcome of the PennEast construction project cannot be determined at this time.

The impairment did not result in a tax benefit during(loss)/income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as a valuation allowance has been established for the federal deferred tax asset related to the capital loss (see Note 1).2022.

ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments and requires that a public business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

Beginning with the first quarter of 2021, our internal management reporting, specifically around our nonutility businesses, changed primarily due to recent acquisitions and divestitures, and new product lines entered into. These were primarily within the fuel cell, solar, RNG, and retail businesses. Refer to Item 1, along with Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, of SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for information about these acquisitions and divestitures.

As a result of these changes in our businesses, the Company realigned itsThe operating segments. The realigned segments reflect the financial information regularly evaluated by the CODM, which for SJI is the Company's Chief Executive Officer.

The operating segments are as follows:

SJG utility operations consist primarily of natural gas distribution to residential, commercial and industrial customers in southern New Jersey.
ETG utility operations consist primarily of natural gas distribution to residential, commercial and industrial customers in northern and central New Jersey.
ELK utility operations consist of natural gas distribution to residential, commercial and industrial customers in Maryland. On July 31, 2020, SJI sold ELK to a third-party buyer.
Wholesale energy operations include the activities of SJRG and SJEX.
Retail services operations includes the activities of SJE, SJESP and SJEI, as well as our equity interest in Millennium.

Corporate & Services segment includes costs related to financing, acquisitions and divestitures, and other unallocated costs.
Intersegment represents intercompany transactions among the above SJI consolidated entities.

SJI groups its utility businesses under its wholly-owned subsidiary SJIU. This group consists of gas utility operations of SJG and ETG and, until its sale, ELK.ETG. SJI groups its nonutility operations into separate categories: Energy Management; Energy Production; Midstream; and Corporate & Services. Energy Management includes wholesale energy and retail services. Energy Production includes renewables and decarbonization. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. See Note 1.

Table of Contents
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION COSTS - SJG and ETG have regulatory assets associated with environmental costs related to the cleanup of environmental sites as discussed in Note 15 of SJI's and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. The BPU allows SJG and ETG to recover the deferred costs not recovered from insurance carriers through their RAC mechanisms over seven-year periods after the costs are incurred.

DEFERRED ARO COSTS - The Utilities record AROs primarily related to the legal obligation to cut and cap gas distribution pipelines when taking those pipelines out of service. Deferred ARO costs represent the period to period passage of time (accretion) and depreciation of the underlying ARO asset. The Deferred ARO Costs regulatory asset increased due to both accretion and depreciation. There is no impact on earnings as a result of these changes.

DEFERRED GAS COSTS - NET - Over/under collections of gas costs are monitored through SJG's and ETG's BGSS clause. Included in SJG's balance as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2020 included $22.92021 is $15.6 million and $21.3 million, respectively, of costs related to a previous pricing dispute on a long-term gas supply contract. As of June 1, 2021, SJG has begun to recover these costs from its customers through the BGSS clause. SJG’s deferred gas costs-net"Deferred Gas Costs - Net" are currently in an under-collectedunder-recovered position, resulting in a regulatory asset. ETG's deferred gas costs-net are over-recovered atasset as of both June 30, 2021,2022 and December 31, 2021. The decrease in this asset is primarily due to the recoveries from customers exceeding the actual gas commodity costs and changes in valuations of hedged natural gas positions. ETG's Deferred Gas Costs-Net are in an over-recovered position, resulting in a regulatory liability.liability as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, see the Regulatory Liabilities table below.

CIP RECEIVABLE - The CIP tracking mechanism at SJG and ETG adjusts earnings when the actual usage per customer experienced during the period varies from an established baseline usage per customer. ActualFor SJG and ETG, actual usage per customer was more than the established baseline during the first six months of 2021,2022, resulting in a reduction of the regulatory asset at June 30, 20212022 as compared to December 31, 2020.2021. This is primarily the result of colder than normal weather experienced in the region. ETG has not begun recovering against this regulatory asset as the CIP was established on July 1, 2021.

OTHER REGULATORY ASSETSWNC - The increase from Decembertariffs for ETG included a weather normalization clause that reduced customer bills when weather was colder than normal and increased customer bills when weather was warmer than normal. The WNC deferral ended May 31, 20202021 and was replaced by the CIP effective July 1, 2021. As such, the WNC regulatory asset will continue to June 30, 2021decrease due to collections until the balance is primarily related to incremental costs incurred related to the impacts to our business from thefully recovered.

DEFERRED COVID-19 pandemic.COSTS - On July 2, 2020, the BPU issued an Order authorizing New Jersey's regulated utilities to create a COVID-19-related regulatory asset by deferring on their books and records the prudently incurred incremental costs related to COVID-19 beginning on March 9, 2020 and continuing through September 30, 2021, or 60 days after the termination of the public health emergency, whichever is later. On September 14, 2021, the BPU extended this period to December 31, 2022. The Company is required to file quarterly reports with the BPU, along with a petition of recovery of such incremental costs with the BPU by December 31, 20212022 or within 60 days of the close of the tracking period, whichever is later. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, ETGThe deferred $13.2 million and $5.8 million, respectively, and SJG deferred $6.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively, of incremental costsbalance is principally related to expected credit losses from uncollectibles as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically related to changes in payment patterns observed to date and consideration of macroeconomic factors. We have deemed these costs to be probable of recovery. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, ETG deferred $15.8 million and $10.2 million, respectively, and SJG deferred $9.4 million and $7.7 million, respectively, specifically related to changes in payment patterns observed to date and consideration of macroeconomic factors. The Utilities continued the suspension of disconnects for nonpayment by our customers, based on an executive order issued by the Governor of New Jersey in 2020, in which water, gas and electricity providers were barred from cutting services to New Jersey residents. On July 6,June 14, 2021, the Company filedGovernor ended the shutoff moratorium effective July 1, 2021, but established a joint motion with another utility withgrace period that ran through the end of 2021. In December 2021, the Governor extended this grace period to March 15, 2022. During the grace period, disconnections for residential customers for nonpayment were prohibited, and low and moderate income households had until March 15, 2022 to work out how to pay back any outstanding bills. On March 25, 2022, the BPU approved an order which amended the existing customer bill of rights. These amendments require the Company to extendcontinue service for customers who submit an application for State-administered utility assistance programs prior to June 15, 2022. The Company is required to continue service through the authority to defer incremental COVID-related expenses through 2023. This matterdate that the application is pending BPU approval.either approved or rejected by the respective State agency.

EXCESS DEFERRED TAXES - This liability is recognized as a result of Tax Reform enacted into law on December 22, 2017. The decrease in these liabilities for SJI and SJGthis regulatory liability from December 31, 20202021 to June 30, 20212022 is related to excess tax amounts returned to customers through customer billings. See Note 10 of SJI's and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

DEFERRED GAS COSTS - NET - Over/under collections of gas costs are monitored through ETG's BGSS mechanism. Net under collected gas costs are classified as a regulatory asset and net over collected gas costs are classified as a regulatory liability. Derivative contracts used to hedge natural gas purchase are also included in the BGSS, subject to BPU approval. The increase from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022 is primarily driven by the change in the value of the energy related derivative contracts.

For SJI and SJG, the amount of usage shown in the table above, less the letters of credit noted in (A)-(C) for SJI and (B) for SJG above, equals the amounts recorded as Notes Payable on the respective condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022.

SJI, SJG and ETG (collectively, the "Borrowers") have an unsecured, five-year master revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with a syndicate of banks, which expires on September 1, 2026, unless earlier terminated or extended in accordance with its terms. There have been no significant changes to the nature or balances of this Credit Facility, except for the usage shown in the table above, since December 31, 2021, which are described in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

During the first quarter of 2021, SJI paid off its $150.0 million term loan agreement at maturity.

SJI's Five Year Revolving Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement") allows SJI to borrow in the form of revolving loans a total aggregate amount of $500.0 million. In addition, as part of the total $500.0 million extension of credit, the Credit Agreement provides for swingline loans (in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $50.0 million) and letters of credit (in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $200.0 million), each at the applicable interest rates specified in the Credit Agreement.

SJIU and ETG (as Borrowers)There have a $200.0 million revolving credit agreement which provides for the extension of creditbeen no significant changes to the Borrowers in a total aggregate amountnature or balances of $200.0 million, in the form of revolving loans up to a full amount of $200.0 million, swingline loans in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $20.0 million and letters of credit in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $50.0 million, each at the applicable interest rates specified in the revolving credit agreement. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the revolving credit agreement, the Borrowers may increase the revolving credit facility up to a maximum aggregate amount of $50.0 million (for a total revolving facility of up to $250.0 million). In April 2021, SJIU and ETG entered into a fourth amendment to the revolving credit agreement. The principal purpose of the amendment was to extend the termination date of the revolving credit agreement from April 29, 2022 to April 26, 2023.

SJG has a revolving credit facility which allows SJG to borrow in the form of revolving loans a total aggregate amount $200.0 million. SJG has aSJG's commercial paper program undersince December 31, 2021, which SJG may issue short-term, unsecured promissory notes to qualified investors up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $200.0 million. The notes have fixed maturities which vary by note, but may not exceed 270 days from the date of issue. Proceeds from the notes are used for general corporate purposes. SJG uses the commercial paper programdescribed in tandem with its $200.0 million revolving credit facility and the principal amount of borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program and the credit facility cannot exceed an aggregate of $200.0 million.

Each of the credit facilities are provided by a syndicate of banks. The NPA for Senior Unsecured Notes issued by SJI, and the Utilities' credit facilities, contain a financial covenant limiting the ratio of indebtedness to total capitalization (as defined in the respective NPA or credit agreement) to not more than 0.70 to 1, measured at the end of each fiscal quarter. SJI and the Utilities were in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2021. For SJI, the equity units are treated as equity (as opposed to how they are classified on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as long-term debt; see Note 4) for purposes of the covenant calculation.

Although there can be no assurance, management believes that actions presently being taken to pay off or refinance the short-term debt and borrowings that are due within the next year will be successful, as the Company has been successful in refinancing debt in the past. No adjustments have been made to the financial statements to account for this uncertainty.

SJI, SJG and ETG were all in compliance with the financial covenants in their respective borrowing arrangements described herein and in Note 14 as of June 30, 2022.

The consummation of the Merger would constitute a "Change in Control" under the Revolving Credit Facility, and, as such, would create an event of default, resulting in amounts outstanding being payable. The Parent has secured a debt commitment letter to provide funding to repay, if necessary, any borrowings outstanding at the time of such a Change in Control. The

11.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Except as described below, there have been no significant changes to the Company's commitments and contingencies since December 31, 2020,2021, which are described in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

GAS SUPPLY CONTRACTS - SJG has certain commitments for both pipeline capacity and gas supply for which SJG pays fees regardless of usage. Those commitments, as of June 30, 2022, averaged $95.2 million annually and totaled $465.8 million over the contracts’ lives; the increase since December 31, 2021 is due to 2 executed contracts in the first quarter of 2022 with Adelphia and Columbia pipelines and extension of the existing firm capacity contracts with Columbia pipelines during the second quarter 2022,.  Approximately 39% of the financial commitments under these contracts expire during the next five years. SJG expects to renew each of these contracts under renewal provisions as provided in each contract. SJG recovers all such prudently incurred fees through rates via the BGSS.

GUARANTEES — As of June 30, 2021,2022, SJI had issued $10.4$11.4 million of parental guarantees on behalf of EnergyMark, an unconsolidated subsidiary. These guarantees generally expire within one year and were issued to enable the subsidiary to market retail natural gas.

The amount of capital contribution loans may be amended upward from time to time at the sole discretion of SJI.

LONG-TERM DEBT - As discussed in Note 14 ETG issued three tranches of Series 2020A-2 Bonds, that are part of the November 2020 BPA, on June 15, 2021.

AMA - ETG has an AMA with SJRG for transportation and storage capacity to meet natural gas demands. The AMA is in effect through March 31, 2022. It also requires SJRG to pay minimum annual fees of $4.25 million to ETG and includes tiered margin sharing levels between ETG and SJRG.

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS As of June 30, 2021, SJI and its subsidiaries employed 1,176 employees compared with 1,1301,169 and 1,173 employees as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2020.2021, respectively. SJG employed 420 and 432 employees as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, 2922022, 282 of the total number of employees were represented by labor unions at SJG, and 165214 were represented by a labor union at ETG.

EQUITY AND CONVERTIBLE UNITS - The Company hasSee Notes 6 and 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI's and SJG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a contract obligating the holderdescription of the Equity Units to purchase fromissuances of convertible units and the Company, and for the Company to sell to the holder for a price in cash of $50, a certain number of shares of common stock. In April 2021, a similar contract related to SJI's Convertible Units was settled. See Note 4.respective obligations.

LITIGATION — SJI and SJG are subject to claims, actions and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Neither SJI nor SJG can make any assurance as to the outcome of any of these actions but, based on an analysis of these claims and consultation with outside counsel, we do not believe that any of these claims, other than described below, would be reasonably likely to have a material impact on the business or financial statements of SJI or SJG.  Liabilities related to claims are accrued when the amount or range of amounts of probable settlement costs or other charges for these claims can be reasonably estimated.

In August 2018, the State of New Jersey filed a civil enforcement action in the New Jersey Superior Court, Atlantic County, against SJG and several other current and former owners of certain property in Atlantic City, NJ alleging damage to the State's natural resources and seeking payment for damages to those natural resources, where SJG and its predecessors previously operated a manufactured gas plant. Assessment of the nature and extent of the alleged damages requires substantial analysis from multiple experts. To date, discovery has not yet taken place and there is limited precedent on a number of the legal matters involved. As a result, SJG is currently evaluating the merits of the State of New Jersey’s allegations. All parties have agreed to and begun mediation efforts. SJG intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter, however, an adverse outcome in the litigation could have a material impact on SJI's and SJG's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. SJG has recorded a liability based on its best-estimate of the probable outcome of this matter as of June 30, 2021.2022. This manufactured gas plant site has been fully remediated.remediated as discussed under "Environmental Remediation Costs" below.

In connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, 8 purported Company shareholders filed lawsuits under federal securities laws, 5 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, 1 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, 1 in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey and 1 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, challenging the adequacy of the disclosures made in the preliminary proxy statement filed by the Company with the SEC on March 30, 2022. These cases are captioned Stein v. South Jersey Industries, et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-02647, Finger v. South Jersey Industries, et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-03226, Kaufmann v. South Jersey Industries, et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-03255, Hopkins v. South Jersey Industries, et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-01972, Przyborowski v. South Jersey Industries, et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-02202, Justice v. South Jersey Industries, et al., Case No. 2:22-cv-01495, Brining v. South Jersey Industries, et. al., Case No. 1:22-cv-03384, and Jones v. South Jersey Industries, et. al., Case No. 1:22-cv-03424, respectively. The Complaints generally alleged that the preliminary proxy statement filed by the Company with the SEC on March 30, 2022 misrepresented and/or omitted certain purportedly material information relating to the Company’s financial projections and the analyses performed for the Board in connection with the Merger Agreement. The Complaints asserted violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder against the Company and the members of its Board. The Complaints sought, among other things, an injunction enjoining the shareholder vote on the Merger and the consummation of the Merger unless and until certain additional information was disclosed to Company shareholders, costs of the action, including plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and experts’ fees, and other relief the court may have deemed just and proper. In response to these lawsuits, on May 3, 2022, the Company filed additional proxy soliciting materials related to the Merger. The plaintiffs have subsequently dismissed these claims without prejudice.

SJI has accrued approximately $13.5$10.3 million and $4.1$11.3 million related to all claims in the aggregate as of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, of which SJG has accrued approximately $10.3$9.4 million and $1.2$10.0 million as of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.

ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION COSTS — Except as noted under "Litigation" above, there have been no significant changes to the status of SJI’s environmental remediation efforts since December 31, 2020,2021, as described in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

12.    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:

Certain SJI subsidiaries, including SJG, are involved in buying, selling, transporting and storing natural gas, and buying and selling retail electricity for their own accounts as well as managing these activities for third parties. These subsidiaries are subject to market risk on expected future purchases and sales due to commodity price fluctuations. SJIManagement takes an active role in the risk management process and SJG use a variety of derivative instrumentshas developed policies and procedures that require specific administrative and business functions to limit this exposure to market riskassist in identifying, assessing and controlling various risks. Management reviews any open positions in accordance with strict corporate guidelines.policies to limit exposure to market risk. These derivative instruments include forward contracts, swap agreements, options contracts and futures contracts.

As of June 30, 2021,2022, SJI and SJG had outstanding derivative contracts as follows:

These contracts, which have not been designated as hedging instruments under GAAP, are measured at fair value and recorded in Derivatives - Energy Related Assets or Derivatives - Energy Related Liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets of SJI and SJG. For SJE and SJRG contracts, the net unrealized pre-tax gains (losses) for these energy-related commodity contracts are included with realized gains (losses) in Operating Revenues – Nonutility on the condensed consolidated statements of (loss)/income for SJI. These unrealized pre-tax (losses) were $(15.2)$(33.9) million and $(1.3)$(15.2) million for the three months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively, and $(15.3)$(55.2) million and $(1.6)$(15.3) million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively.For ETG's and SJG's contracts, the costs or benefits are recoverable through the BGSS clause, subject to BPU approval. As a result, the net unrealized pre-tax gains (losses) for SJG and ETG energy-related commodity contracts are included with realized gains and losses in Regulatory Assets or Regulatory Liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets of SJI (ETG and SJG) and SJG. As of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020, SJI2021, SJI had $27.8$50.4 million and $2.4$22.1 million, respectively, and SJG had $13.5$24.1 million and $1.1$7.1 million, respectively, of net unrealized gainsgains included in its BGSS related to energy-related commoditycommodity contracts.

SJG has interest rate derivatives to mitigate exposure to increasing interest rates and the impact of those rates on cash flows of variable-rate debt. These interest rate derivatives are measured at fair value and recorded in Derivatives - Other on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For SJG interest rate derivatives, theThe fair value represents the amount SJG would have to pay the counterparty to terminate these contracts as of those dates.

As of June 30, 2021,2022, SJG’s active interest rate swaps were as follows:
Notional AmountFixed Interest RateStart DateMaturity

$12,500,000 3.430%12/1/20062/1/2036

For the unrealized gains and losses on interest rate derivatives at SJG, management believes that, subject to BPU approval, the market value upon termination can be recovered in rates and, therefore, these unrealized gains (losses) have been included in Other Regulatory Assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques. The levels of the hierarchy are described below:

Level 1:  Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:  Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3:  Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of financial assets and financial liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

Counterparty credit risk and the credit risk of SJI are incorporated and considered in the valuation of all derivative instruments as appropriate. The effect of counterparty credit risk and the credit risk of SJI on the derivative valuations is not significant.

(A) Available-for-Sale Securities include securities that are traded in active markets and securities that are not traded publicly. The securities traded in active markets are valued using the quoted principal market close prices that are provided by the trustees and are categorized in Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

(B) Derivatives – Energy Related Assets and Liabilities are traded in both exchange-based and non-exchange-based markets. Exchange-based contracts are valued using unadjusted quoted market sources in active markets and are categorized in Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Certain non-exchange-based contracts are valued using indicative price quotations available through brokers or over-the-counter, on-line exchanges and are categorized in Level 2. These price quotations reflect the average of the bid-ask mid-point prices and are obtained from sources that management believes provide the most liquid market. Management reviews and corroborates the price quotations with at least one additional source to ensure the prices are observable market information, which includes consideration of actual transaction volumes, market delivery points, bid-ask spreads and contract duration. For non-exchange-based derivatives that trade in less liquid markets with limited pricing information, model inputs generally would include both observable and unobservable inputs. In instances where observable data is unavailable, management considers the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. This includes assumptions about market risks such as liquidity, volatility and contract duration. Such instruments are categorized in Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as the model inputs generally are not observable.

Management uses the discounted cash flow model to value Level 3 physical and financial forward contracts, which calculates mark-to-market valuations based on forward market prices, original transaction prices, volumes, risk-free rate of return and credit spreads. Inputs to the valuation model are reviewed and revised as needed, based on historical information, updated market data, market liquidity and relationships, and changes in third party pricing sources. The validity of the mark-to-market valuations and changes in these values from period to period are examined and qualified against historical expectations by the risk management function. If any discrepancies are identified during this process, the mark-to-market valuations or the market pricing information is evaluated further and adjusted, if necessary.

(C) Derivatives – Derivative instruments that are used to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on variable-rate, long-term debt are valued using quoted prices on commonly quoted intervals, which are interpolated for periods different than the quoted intervals, as inputs to a market valuation model. Market inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment, as a result, these instruments are categorized in Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding significant unobservable inputs in Level 3 fair value measurements (in thousands, except for ranges):

The Utilities' rate mechanisms that qualify as alternative revenue programs are described in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. These mechanisms are subject to compliance filings on at least an annual basis, and the tariff rate adjustments are designed to occur over this compliance period. These rate mechanisms satisfy the criteria in ASC 980-605-25-4, as (a) each mechanism is established by order of the BPU for SJG and ETG; (b) the amounts recoverable under each program are determined by tracking and are probable of recovery; and (c) the adjustments to tariff rates are designed to recover from or refund to customers within a 24 month period. For each individual rate reconciling mechanism, operating revenues are recognized when allowable costs are greater than the amounts billed in the current period and are reduced when allowable costs are less than amounts billed in the current period.2021.

(A) Included in Accounts Receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. A receivable is SJI's and SJG's right to consideration that is unconditional, as only the passage of time is required before payment is expected from the customer.

(B) Included in Unbilled Revenues in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. All unbilled revenue for SJI and SJG arises from contracts with customers. Unbilled revenue relates to SJI's and SJG's right to receive payment for commodity delivered but not yet billed. This represents contract assets that arise from contracts with customers, which is defined in ASC 606 as the right to payment in exchange for goods already transferred to a customer, excluding any amounts presented as a receivable. The unbilled revenue is transferred to accounts receivable when billing occurs and the rights to collection become unconditional.

16.    ACQUISITIONS & BUSINESS COMBINATIONS:

Bronx Midco

Catamaran and a third party formed Bronx Midco, of which Catamaran owns 99%. On June 9, 2021, Bronx Midco purchased a fuel cell project totaling 5 MW in Bronx, New York that is in the process of being constructed.constructed and, we currently estimate the project will go live in 2022 as construction delays were able to be mitigated with the delivery of essential equipment during the second quarter of 2022. Marina, through its ownership in Catamaran, has a 92% ownership interest in Bronx Midco, and, as a result, Marina consolidates the entity as Marina has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance.

ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” states that a business is an integrated set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return in the form of dividends, lower costs, or other economic benefits directly to investors or other owners, members, or participants. As the acquisition did not meet the definition of a business combination under ASC 805, the Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition. In an asset acquisition, goodwill is not recognized, but rather any excess consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated on a relative fair value basis to the identifiable net assets. The fuel cell project includes a land lease and working capital.

The total expected cost of the fuel cell project is $60.1 million, of which the partners have paid $16.6$34.1 million as of June 30, 2021.2022. Of this total, Marina invested $15.3$31.4 million as of June 30, 2021.2022. To account for the third party partner's interest in Bronx Midco, Marina recorded $1.3$2.7 million of non-controlling interestNCIs in stockholders' equityTotal Equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2021.2022. The major depreciable assets of the Bronx Midco Fuel Cell Projectfuel cell project are the fuel cell modules, which will be depreciated over their estimated useful lives of 35 years once placed in service. The lease cost associated with the land lease is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term of 35 years.

All assets and financial results of Bronx Midco are included in the Renewables segment. As this project is not yet placed into service, no revenues have been recorded, and expensesrecorded. Expenses incurred in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of (loss)/income forin the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are not material. While this project is eligible

Red River

On March 22, 2022, SJI, through its wholly-owned subsidiary SJI RNG Devco, LLC, formed the Red River joint venture with two third party partners, of which SJI RNG Devco, LLC has an 80% ownership interest. Red River was formed for ITC, no ITCthe purpose of building anaerobic digesters on certain dairy farms to produce RNG for injection into natural gas pipelines, and supporting SJI's commitment to decarbonization. During the second quarter of 2022, SJI invested $19.4 million into the Red River joint venture. There has been recorded for the three and six months endedno other activity among this joint venture as of June 30, 2021 as the project is still in the early stages of construction.2022.

Notes 1 and 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 describe the asset acquisitions and business combinations that occurred in 2020, which include Catamaran/Annadale, EnerConnex, solar projects and RNG dairy farm development rights. Each of these acquisitions and business combinations occurred on or subsequent to June 30, 2020. The purchase price allocation for EnerConnex was finalized during the six months ended June 30, 2021, with no changes to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020.2021.

17.    GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

GOODWILL - Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from other assets acquiredSee Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI's and SJG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excessdescription of the aggregate of the consideration paid or transferred over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is subject toCompany's goodwill accounting policies and annual impairment testing on an annual basis, and between annual tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying amount.

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 of each fiscal year and on an interim basis as events and changes in circumstances occur that could be an indication of a potential impairment, including, but not limited to, a significant change in operating performance, the business climate, legal or regulatory factors, or a planned sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business.

The Company's impairment evaluations begin with a qualitative assessment at the reporting unit level. The reporting unit level is identified by assessing whether the components of our operating segments constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available, whether segment management regularly reviews the operating results of those components and whether the economic and regulatory characteristics are similar. Factors utilized in the qualitative analysis performed on goodwill in our reporting units include, among other things, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, company specific operating results and other relevant entity-specific events affecting individual reporting units.

Table of Contents
If sufficient qualitative factors exist, potential goodwill impairment is evaluated quantitatively by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to the book value, including goodwill. For each reporting unit, the Company estimates the fair value of a reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis (an income approach) and, for certain reporting units, management also considers other methods, which include a market multiples analysis, and performs a weighted combination of the income approach and the market approach. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires judgment and the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, forecasts of future operating results, discount and growth rates, capital expenditures, tax rates, projected terminal values and, in the cases where market multiples analysis is utilized, implied market multiples for a selected group of peer companies.

If the fair value exceeds book value, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired. If the book value exceeds fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess up until the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different results.test.

The Company determined that, as ofduring the three and six months ended June 30, 2021,2022, there were not indicators of impairment of the goodwill associated with its reporting units, and as such did not perform a quantitative analysis. The qualitative factors analyzed as described above also included macroeconomic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. There were no impairments recorded for the three months and six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021. Should economic conditions deteriorate in future periods or become depressed for a prolonged period of time, estimates of future cash flows and market valuation assumptions may not be sufficient to support the carrying value, requiring impairment charges in the future.

As of both June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, SJI had $707.0 million of goodwill, including $700.2 million in the ETG Utility Operations segment and $6.8 million included in the Retail Services segment.

Merger Agreement - On February 23, 2022, SJI announced that it had signed a Merger Agreement with NJ Boardwalk Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”) and Boardwalk Merger Sub, Inc., a New Jersey corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Each of Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Infrastructure Investments Fund. Following completion of the transaction, SJI intends to delist its shares from the New York Stock Exchange.

At the effective time of the merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of SJI’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive $36.00 in cash, without interest.

The closing of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals by the BPU.

The Merger Agreement places limitations on SJI’s ability to engage in certain types of transactions without Parent’s consent between the signing of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, including limitations on SJI’s ability to issue dividends other than consistent with its past practices, acquire other businesses, issue equity of SJI (except in the ordinary course pursuant to equity compensation plans) and, subject to certain exceptions, incur certain indebtedness for borrowed money.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights, including the right of SJI or Parent to terminate if the Merger is not consummated within twelve months after signing, subject to certain extensions and exceptions. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company may be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $140.0 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain specified circumstances. The Merger Agreement additionally provides that Parent pay the Company a termination fee of $255.0 million under certain specified circumstances.

In connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, eight complaints were filed as individual actions in United States District Court. The plaintiffs have subsequently dismissed these claims without prejudice. See Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

On April 11, 2022, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement with the SEC in connection with the Merger. On May 3, 2022, the Company filed additional proxy soliciting materials related to the Merger. On May 10, 2022, SJI’s shareholders voted in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Merger at the Company's annual meeting of shareholders.

On April 25, 2022, the Company filed a joint petition, together with Parent and Merger Sub, to the BPU seeking approval of an indirect change of control of ETG and SJG, to be effectuated by the Merger Agreement. This matter is pending BPU approval.

On April 25, 2022, certain subsidiaries of the Company and NJ Boardwalk Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of IIF filed a joint application requesting approval of the Merger with the FERC under Section 203 of the Federal Power Act, which was assigned FERC Docket No. EC22-60 (the “FERC Application for Approval”). The FERC established a May 16, 2022 deadline date for comments on the filing. While several motions to intervene were filed, only one entity filed substantive comments on the FERC Application for Approval. Those comments did not ask FERC to reject the FERC Application for Approval, but questioned the description of IIF’s affiliates. On May 31, 2022, the Company and IIF filed replies to the May 16, 2022 comments. FERC has yet to act on the FERC Application for Approval, and has not requested additional information.

On April 29, 2022, the Company and Parent filed the notification and report form with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and for which the waiting period expired on May 31, 2022 at 11:59pm.

COVID-19 - See “Deferred COVID-19 Costs” in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for information about regulatory assets recorded as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 related to incremental costs incurred related to COVID-19. Except as noted below,discussed therein, the impact of COVID-19 on the financial results of the Company has not been material for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively. For additional information related to COVID-19 and its impacts, see the "COVID-19" section of Item 7 "Management Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of SJI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

All accounts receivables are carried at the amount owed by customers. The provision for uncollectible accounts is established based on expected credit losses. On July 2, 2020, the BPU issued an Order authorizing New Jersey's regulated utilities to create a COVID-19-related regulatory asset by deferring on their books and records the prudently incurred incremental costs related to COVID-19 beginning on March 9, 2020 and continuing through September 30, 2021, or 60 days after the termination of the public health emergency, whichever is later. The Company is required to file quarterly reports with the BPU, along with a petition for recovery of such incremental costs with the BPU by December 31, 2021 or within 60 days of the close of the tracking period, whichever is later. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, ETG deferred $5.4 million and $7.3 million, respectively, and SJG deferred $0.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of incremental costs principally related to expected credit losses from uncollectibles as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically related to changes in payment patterns observed to date and consideration of macroeconomic factors. We have deemed these costs to be probable of recovery (see Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). The Utilities have continued the suspension of disconnects for nonpayment by our customers, based on an executive order issued by the Governor of New Jersey, in which water, gas and electricity providers are barred from cutting services to New Jersey residents. On June 14, 2021, the Governor ended the shutoff moratorium effective July 1, 2021, but established a grace period that runs through the end of 2021; during the grace period, disconnections for residential customers for nonpayment are prohibited.2021.

Critical Accounting Policies — Estimates and Assumptions Management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain types of transactions presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements require a significant amount of judgment and estimation. These relateOther than as described below, there have been no changes to regulatory accounting, derivatives, environmental remediation costs, pension and other postretirement benefit costs, revenue recognition, goodwill, income taxes and evaluation of equity method investments for other-than-temporary impairment. A discussion of these estimates and assumptions may be found in Item 7 infrom SJI's and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

Regulatory Actions — Other than the changes discussed in Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, there have been no significant regulatory actions since those discussed in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Goodwill2021. - See discussion on Goodwill in Note 17 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, along with Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

As discussed in Note 17 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, SJI monitors all relevant events and circumstances during the year to determine if an interim impairment test is required. Such events and circumstances include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, company specific operating results and other relevant entity-specific events affecting individual reporting units. The Company determined that, as of June 30, 2021, there were not indicators of impairment of the goodwill associated with its reporting units, and as such did not perform a quantitative analysis. Should economic conditions deteriorate in future periods or become depressed for a prolonged period of time, estimates of future cash flows and market valuation assumptions may not be sufficient to support the carrying value of goodwill, requiring impairment charges in the future.

Evaluation of Equity Method Investments for Other-Than-Temporary Impairment- Our evaluation of impairment of equity method investments when conditions exist that could indicate that the fair value of the investment is less than book value includes key inputs that involve significant management judgments and estimates, including projections of the investment's cash flows, selection of a discount rate and probability weighting of potential outcomes of legal proceedings and other available options.

See discussion in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, along with Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 related to our investment in PennEast.Despite the favorable outcome from the Supreme Court, PennEast continues to experience regulatory and legal challenges resulting in continued delays preventing the commencement of construction and commercial operation of the project. As a result, the Company evaluated its investment in PennEast for an other-than-temporary impairment as of June 30, 2021. Our impairment assessment used a discounted cash flow income approach, including consideration of the severity and duration of any decline in fair value of our investment in the project. Our significant estimates and assumptions included development options and the likelihoods of success of such options, potential regulatory and legal outcomes, construction costs, timing of in-service dates, revenues (including forecasted volumes and rates), and discount rates. The
63

Table of Contents
Company estimated the fair value of its investment in PennEast using probability weighted scenarios assigned to discounted future cash flows.

Based upon this analysis, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $87.4 million, which is recorded in Equity in (Losses) Earnings from Affiliates in the condensed consolidated statements of (loss)/income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. After taking this charge, the Company’s investment in PennEast totaled $8.0 million as of June 30, 2021 as compared to $91.3 million as of December 31, 2020.

It is reasonably possible that there could be other future unfavorable developments, such as a reduced likelihood of success from development options and regulatory and legal outcomes, estimated increases in construction costs, increases in the discount rate, or further significant delays, or PennEast could conclude that the project is not viable or does not go forward as actions progress. These could impact our conclusions with respect to other-than-temporary impairment and may require that we recognize an additional impairment charge of up to our recorded investment in the project, net of any cash and working capital. The ultimate outcome of the PennEast construction project cannot be determined at this time.

SJI's income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $94.12022 increased $78.0 million to a net loss of $96.7$18.7 million compared with the same period in 2020.2021. The significant drivers for the overall change were as follows (all numbers in the bullet points below are presented after-tax):

The income contribution from Midstreamthe midstream operating segment for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $87.02022 increased $86.9 million to a net loss of $86.1$0.8 million compared with the same period in 2020,2021 primarily due to an other-than-temporary impairment charge on the Company's equity method investment in PennEast recorded in the prior period (see Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

The income contribution from wholesale energy operations at SJRG for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $9.5 million to a net loss of $4.8 million compared with the same period in 2020, primarily due to the change in unrealized gains and losses recorded on forward financial contracts due to price volatility.

The income contribution from the gas utility operations at ETG for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $2.2 million to a net loss of $3.0 million compared with the same period in 2020, primarily due to higher operations, maintenance, and depreciation expenses.

The income contribution from the gas utility operations at SJG for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $2.6 million to $6.3 million compared with the same period in 2020, primarily due to favorable changes in base rates resulting from the completion of SJG's rate case in September 2020, along with the roll-in of infrastructure programs and customer growth. Also contributing was the margin impact of SJG's CIP mechanism as discussed in "Utility Margin - SJG Utility Operations" below. These increases were partially offset by higher depreciation expenses.

The income contribution from the renewables operating segment for the three months ended June 30, 20212022 increased $2.2$11.1 million to a net loss of $0.2$10.9 million compared with the same period in 2020,2021 primarily due to ITCs recorded on fuel cell and solar projects (see Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

The income contribution from the wholesale energy operating segment for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $18.1 million to a loss of $22.8 million compared with the same period in 2021 primarily due to the resultschange in unrealized gains and losses recorded on forward financial contracts due to price volatility, along with lower margins from the Annadale fuel cell project, which was placed into servicedaily energy trading activities during the fourthsecond quarter of 2020, along with the results from the rooftop solar generation sites, which were acquired in the second half of 2020.2022.

The income contribution from wholesale energy operations at SJRG for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $1.9 million to $8.2 million compared with the same period in 2020, primarily due to the change in unrealized gains and losses on forward financial contracts due to price volatility. This was partially offset by higher margins on daily energy trading activities as well as colder weather experienced in the first quarter of 2021.

The income contribution from gas utility operations at ETG for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $0.9 million to $35.0 million compared with the same period in 2020, primarily due to higher operations, maintenance and depreciation expenses. This was partially offset by customer growth.

The income contribution from the wholesale energy operating segment for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $17.5 million to a loss of $9.2 million compared with the same period in 2021, primarily due to the change in unrealized gains and losses recorded on forward financial contracts due to price volatility and lower margins from daily energy trading activities during the second quarter of 2022, partially offset with colder weather experienced in the first quarter of 2022.

The Corporate & Services segment incurred approximately $3.4 million of costs related to the Merger Agreement that did not recuroccur in 2021 after the swaps were terminated duringprior year period (see Note 1 to the fourth quarter of 2020.condensed consolidated financial statements).

A significant portion of the volatility in operating results is due to the impact of the accounting methods associated with SJI’s derivative activities. SJI uses derivatives to limit its exposure to market risk on transactions to buy, sell, transport and store natural gas and to buy and sell retail electricity. SJI also previously used derivatives to limit its exposure to increasing interest rates on variable-rate debt.

Table of Contents
The types of transactions that typically cause the most significant volatility in operating results are as follows:

SJRG purchases and holds natural gas in storage and maintains capacity on interstate pipelines to earn profit margins in the future. SJRG utilizes derivatives to mitigate price risk in order to substantially lock-in the profit margin that will ultimately be realized. However, both gas stored in inventory and pipeline capacity are not considered derivatives and are not subject to fair value accounting. Conversely, the derivatives used to reduce the risk associated with a change in the value of inventory and pipeline capacity are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in operating results in the period of change. As a result, earnings are subject to volatility as the market price of derivatives change, even when the underlying hedged value of inventory and pipeline capacity are unchanged. Additionally, volatility in earnings is created when realized gains and losses on derivatives used to mitigate commodity price risk on expected future purchases of gas injected into storage are recognized in earnings when the derivatives settle, but the cost of the related gas in storage is not recognized in earnings until the period of withdrawal. This volatility can be significant from period to period. Over time, gains or losses on the sale of gas in storage, as well as use of capacity, will be offset by losses or gains on the derivatives, resulting in the realization of the profit margin expected when the transactions were initiated.

In past periods, SJE usesused forward contracts to mitigate commodity price risk on fixed price electric contracts with customers. In accordance with GAAP, the forward contracts arewere recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings in the period of change. Several related customerSJE no longer has any contracts are not considered derivatives and, therefore, are not recorded in earnings until the electricity is delivered. As a result, earnings are subject to volatilityoutstanding as the market price of the forward contracts change, even when the underlying hedged value of the customer contract is unchanged. Over time, gains or losses on the sale of the fixed price electric under contract will be offset by losses or gains on the forward contracts, resulting in the realization of the profit margin expected when the transactions were initiated.June 30, 2022.

As a result, management also uses the non-GAAP financial measures of Economic Earnings and Economic Earnings per share when evaluating its results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures, such as net income, operating income, earnings per share from continuing operations or any other GAAP measure of financial performance.

We define Economic Earnings as: Income from Continuing Operations, (i) less the change in unrealized gains and plus the change in unrealized losses on non-utility derivative transactions; (ii) less income and plus losses attributable to noncontrolling interest;interests; and (iii) less the impact of transactions, contractual arrangements or other events where management believes period to period comparisons of SJI's operations could be difficult or potentially confusing. With respect to part (iii) of the definition of Economic Earnings, items excluded from Economic Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, are described in (A)-(E) in the table below.

Economic Earnings is a significant financial measure used by our management to indicate the amount and timing of income from continuing operations that we expect to earn after taking into account the impact of derivative instruments on the related transactions, as well as the impact of contractual arrangements and other events that management believes make period to period comparisons of SJI's operations difficult or potentially confusing.items described above. Management uses Economic Earnings to manage its business and to determine such items as incentive/compensation arrangements and allocation of resources. Specifically regarding derivatives, we believe that this financial measure indicates to investors the profitability of the entire derivative-related transaction and not just the portion that is subject to mark-to-market valuation under GAAP. We believe that considering only the change in market value on the derivative side of the transaction can produce a false sense as to the ultimate profitability of the total transaction as no change in value is reflected for the non-derivative portion of the transaction.

Economic Earnings for the three months ended June 30, 20212022 increased $2.9$4.3 million to $2.0$6.3 million compared with the same period in 2020.2021. The significant drivers for the overall change were as follows (all numbers in the bullet points below are presented after-tax):

(A) Does not include amortization of debt issuance costs that are recorded as Interest Charges on the condensed consolidated statements of (loss)/income.

(B) Represents pass-through expenses for which there is a corresponding credit in operating revenues. Therefore, such recoveries have no impact on SJG's financial results.

(C) Utility Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure and is further defined under the caption "Utility Margin - SJG Utility Operations" below.

Operating Revenues - SJG Utility Operations

Revenues from the gas utility operations at SJG increased $4.0$31.4 million, or 4.6%34.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 20212022 compared with the same period in 2020.2021. Excluding intercompany transactions, revenues increased $4.2$29.0 million, or 4.8%31.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same period in 2021.

Revenues from the gas utility operations at SJG increased $102.3 million, or 29.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 20212022 compared with the same period in 2020.2021. Excluding intercompany transactions, revenues increased $97.9 million, or 29.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same period in 2021. The significant drivers for the overall change were as follows:

Total firmFirm revenue increased $0.5$13.0 million and $67.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022, respectively, compared with the same periodperiods in 2020,2021 primarily due to higher base rates effective October 1, 2020,increased revenue related to BGSS recoveries, along with customer growth partially offset with decreased revenue relatedin 2022 compared to SJG's BGSS.2021. While changes in gas costs and BGSS recoveries/refunds fluctuate from period to period, SJG does not profit from the sale of the commodity. Therefore, corresponding fluctuations in Operating Revenue or Cost of Sales have no impact on profitability, as further discussed below under the caption "Utility Margin."

OSS increased $3.6$16.2 million and $30.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022, respectively, compared with the same periodperiods in 2020,2021, primarily due to higher commodity costs.costs, along with colder weather. However, the impact of changes in OSS activity does not have a material impact on the earnings of SJG as SJG is required to return 93%the majority of the profits of such activity to its ratepayers. Earnings from OSS can be seen in the “Margin” table above.

Revenues from the gas utility operations at SJG increased $14.7 million, or 4.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the same period in 2020. Excluding intercompany transactions, revenues increased $9.6 million, or 3.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the same period in 2020. The significant drivers for the overall change were as follows:

OSS increased $10.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the same period in 2020, primarily due to higher commodity costs, along with colder weather during the first quarter of 2021. However, the impact of changes in OSS activity does not have a material impact on the earnings of SJG as discussed above.

Table of Contents

Firm revenue increased $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the same period in 2020 primarily due to higher base rates along with customer growth in 2021 compared to 2020. Partially offsetting this increase was the decreased revenue related to BGSS. SJG does not profit from the sale of the commodity as discussed above.

Utility Margin - SJG Utility Operations

Management uses Utility Margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, when evaluating the operating results of SJG. Utility Margin is defined as natural gas revenues plus depreciation and amortization expenses, less natural gas costs, regulatory rider expensesrecoveries and related volumetric and revenue-based energy taxes. Management believes that Utility Margin provides a more meaningful basis for evaluating utility operations than revenues since natural gas costs, regulatory rider expensesrecoveries and related energy taxes are passed through to customers, and since depreciation and amortization expenses are considered to be administrative. Natural gas costs are charged to operating expenses on the basis of therm sales at the prices approved by the BPU through SJG’s BGSS

clause. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the comparable GAAP measure.

Total Utility Margin increased $10.1$3.5 million, or 19.4%, and $26.8 million, or 13.4%5.7%, for the three andmonths ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same period in 2021. Total Utility Margin increased $12.5 million, or 5.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively,2022 compared with the same periodsperiod in 2020.2021. The increases are primarily due to favorable changes in base rates resulting from the completion of SJG's rate case in September 2020, along with the roll-in of infrastructure programs and customer growth. The change in revenues from SJG's BGSS clause had no impact to SJG's Utility Margin as discussed under "Operating Revenues - SJG Utility Operations" above. Also contributing to the three and six month changes in SJG's Utility Margin is the CIP tracking mechanism, which adjusts earnings when actual usage per customer experienced during the period varies from an established baseline usage per customer. As reflected in the Utility Margin table above and the CIP table in SJG's Management Discussion section, changes year over year to the CIP mechanism are primarily due to variation in customer usage compared to the same period in 2020.

The significant drivers for the overall change were as follows:

Revenues from wholesale energy operations at SJRG, net of intercompany transactions, increased $57.8$163.6 million to $159.3$323.3 million, and increased $191.0$229.1 million to $420.8$650.6 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021,2022, respectively, compared with the same periods in 20202021, primarily due to revenues earned on gas supply contracts and increases in the average monthly NYMEX settle price, andsettlement price. Also contributing to the six month comparative period increase was colder weather experienced in the first quarter of 2021.2022. Partially offsetting these comparative period increases was the change in unrealized gains and losses recorded on forward financial contracts due to price volatility, which is excluded from Economic Earnings and represented a total decrease of $13.8$18.7 million and $14.0$40.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively,2022 compared with the same periods in 2020.2021.

Revenues from retail services, net of intercompany transactions, decreased $6.8$2.4 million to $4.0$1.8 million and decreased $15.5$4.2 million to $7.8$3.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021,2022, respectively, compared with the same periods in 20202021, primarily due to lower overall sales volumes as SJE chose not to renew several contracts that have expired over the last twelve months. This was partially offset with revenues earnednew contracts entered into at EnerConnex which became a wholly-owned subsidiary in the second half of 2020.

SJE uses forward financial contractsas that business continues to mitigate commodity price risk on fixed price electric contracts. In accordance with GAAP, the forward financial contracts are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings in the period of change. The related customer contracts are not considered derivatives and, therefore, are not recorded in earnings until the electricity is delivered. As a result, earnings are subject to volatility as the market price of the forward financial contracts change, even when the underlying hedged value of the customer contract is unchanged. Over time, gains or losses on the sale of the fixed price electric under contract will be offset by losses or gains on the forward financial contracts, resulting in the realization of the profit margin expected when the transactions were initiated. The retail electric operations at SJE serve both fixed and market-priced customers.grow.

Gross Margin - Energy Management & Energy Production

Gross margin for the Energy Management and Energy Production businesses is a GAAP measure and is defined as revenue less all costs that are directly related to the production, sale and delivery of SJI's products and services. These costs primarily include natural gas and electric commodity costs as well as certain payroll and related benefits. On the condensed consolidated statements of (loss)/income, revenue is reflected in Operating Revenues - Nonutility and the costs are reflected in Cost of Sales - Nonutility. As discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, revenues and expenses related to the energy trading activities of the wholesale energy operations at SJRG are presented on a net basis in Operating Revenues - Nonutility on the condensed consolidated statements of (loss)/income.

Gross margin is broken out between Energy Management and Energy Production, which are each comprised of a group of segments as described in Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

TheWe expect the wholesale energy operations at SJRG are expected to continue to add incremental margin from marketing and related opportunities in the Marcellus region, capitalizing on its established presence in the area. Future margins could fluctuate significantly due to the volatile nature of wholesale gas prices.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities — Liquidity needs are first met with net cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities varies from year-to-year primarily due to the impact of weather on customer demand and related gas purchases, customer usage factors related to conservation efforts and the price of the natural gas commodity, inventory utilization, and gas cost recoveries.recoveries and timing of collections from customers. Cash flows provided by operating activities in the first six months of 20212022 produced more net cash than the same period in 2020,2021, primarily due to the following: (1) SJGhigher revenues due to favorable changes in base rates resulting from the completion of SJG's rate case in September 2020; (2) higher margins and increased collections on daily energy trading activities at SJRG; and (3)(2) customer growth at the Utilities.Utilities; and (3) higher purchased gas payables due to higher prices and increases in outstanding invoices payable to vendors.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities — SJI has a continuing need for cash resources and capital, primarily to invest in new and replacement facilities and equipment. We estimate the cash outflows for investing activities, net of refinancings and returns/advances on investments from affiliates, for fiscal years 2021, 2022, 2023 and 20232024 at SJI to be approximately $803.3$849.4 million, $731.0$793.4 million and $698.3$911.7 million, respectively. The high level of investing activities for 2021, 2022, 2023 and 20232024 is due to the accelerated infrastructure investment programs and future capital expenditures at SJG and ETG, and investments in future renewable energy projects including efforts to meet our decarbonization goals, which were announced in April 2021 targeting 70% reduction in emissions by 2030 and 100% by 2040, with at least 25% of capital spending annually in support of sustainability investments. SJI expects to use short-term borrowings under lines of credit from commercial banks and a commercial paper program to finance these investing activities as incurred. From time to time, SJI may refinance the short-term debt with long-term debt.

Other significant investing activities of SJI during the first six months of 20212022 and 20202021 were as follows:

SJI invested a net amount of $5.7 million and $15.3 million as of for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, in Bronx Midco (see Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).
SJI made net investments in and net advances to unconsolidated affiliates of $41.8 million and $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and received net repayments from unconsolidated affiliates of $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
SJI received approximately $97.0 million from the sale of MTF and ACB during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
SJI received approximately $7.2 million from the sale of certain solar assets during the first six months ended June 30, 2020.respectively.

Cash Flows from Financing ActivitiesThe Merger Agreement places limitations on SJI’s ability to engage in certain types of financing transactions without Parent’s consent between the signing of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, including issuing equity of SJI (except in the ordinary course pursuant to equity compensation plans) and incurring certain indebtedness for borrowed money.

Short-term borrowings from the commercial paper program and lines of credit from commercial banks arehave historically been used to supplement cash flows from operations, to support working capital needs and to finance capital expenditures and acquisitions as incurred.

SJI has a long history of paying dividends on its common stock and has increased its dividend every year since 1999. SJI’s current long-term goals are to grow the dividend at a rate consistent with earnings growth over the long term, subject to the approval of its Board of Directors, with a long-term targeted payout ratio of between 55% and 65% of Economic Earnings. In setting the dividend rate, the Board of Directors of SJI considers future

earnings expectations, payout ratio, and dividend yield relative to those at peer companies, as well as returns available on other income-oriented investments. However, there can be no assurance that SJI will be able to continue to increase the dividend, meet the targeted payout ratio or pay a dividend at all in the future. Under the Merger Agreement, SJI’s ability to pay dividends (other than consistent with its past practices) is limited.

Income Taxes  Income tax expense generally fluctuates as income before taxes changes. Minor variations will occur period to period as a result of effective tax rate adjustments. Also, during the first quarter of 2020, SJG recorded $1.2 million in tax expense related to a one-time tax adjustment resulting from the BPU's approval of a stipulation for SJG.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Liquidity and capital resources for SJG are substantially covered in the Management’s Discussion of SJI (except for the items and transactions that relate to SJI and its nonutility subsidiaries). Those explanations are incorporated by reference into this discussion.

Liquidity needs for SJG are driven by factors that include natural gas commodity prices; the impact of weather on customer bills; lags in fully collecting gas costs from customers under the BGSS charge, settlement of legal matters and environmental remediation expenditures through the RAC;RAC as compared to the timing of collections; the timing of construction and remediation expenditures and related permanent financings; mandated tax payment dates; both discretionary and required repayments of long-term debt; and the amounts and timing of dividend payments.payments and additional investments from SJI.

Cash flows for the period were the following (in thousands):

Six months ended June 30, 2021Six months ended June 30, 2020Six months ended June 30, 2022Six months ended June 30, 2021

Net Cash Used in Financing ActivitiesNet Cash Used in Financing Activities$(32,811)$(4,301)Net Cash Used in Financing Activities$(96,375)$(32,811)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities - Liquidity needs are first met with net cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities varies from year-to-year primarily due to the impact of weather on customer demand and related gas purchases, customer usage factors related to conversion efforts and the price of the natural gas commodity, inventory utilization, and gas cost recoveries.recoveries and the timing of collections from customers. Cash flows provided by operating activities in the first six months of 20212022 produced more net cash than the same period in 2020,2021, primarily due to higher revenuespurchased gas payables due to favorable changes in base rates resulting from the completion of SJG's rate case in September 2020.higher prices.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities - SJG has a continuing need for cash resources for capital expenditures, primarily to invest in new and replacement facilities and equipment. SJG estimates the net cash outflows for capital expenditures for fiscal years 2021, 2022, 2023 and 20232024 to be approximately $275.0$249.2 million, $240.5$334.8 million and $325.4$448.9 million, respectively. For capital expenditures, including those under the AIRP and SHARP, SJG expects to use short-term borrowings under both its commercial paper program and lines of credit from commercial banks to finance capital expenditures as incurred. From time to time, SJG may refinance the short-term debt incurred to support capital expenditures with long-term debt.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities - SJG supplements its operating cash flow and credit lines with both debt and equity capital. Over the years, SJG has used long-term debt, primarily in the form of First Mortgage Bonds and Medium Term Notes, secured by the same pool of utility assets, to finance its long-term borrowing needs. These needs are primarily capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment. Cash used in Financing Activities increased in the first six months of 2022 primarily due to repayment of long term debt.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

SJI:

Commodity Market Risks — Certain SJI subsidiaries, including SJG, are involved in buying, selling, transporting and storing natural gas, and buying and selling retail electricity, for their own accounts as well as managing these activities for third parties. These subsidiaries are subject to market risk on expected future purchases and sales due to commodity price fluctuations. To hedge against this risk, SJI enters into a variety of physical and financial transactions including forward contracts, swaps, futures and options agreements. To manage these transactions, SJI has a well-defined risk management policy approved by SJI's Board of Directors that includes volumetric and monetary limits. Management reviews reports detailing activity daily. Generally, the derivative activities described above are entered into for risk management purposes.

As part of itsthe Utilities' gas purchasing strategy, SJG and ETG use financial contracts to hedge against forward price risk. These contracts are recoverable through SJG's and ETG's BGSS, subject to BPU approval.

SJRG manages risk for its own portfolio by entering into the types of transactions noted above. The retail electric operations of SJE use forward physical and financial contracts to mitigate commodity price risk on fixed price electric contracts. It is management's policy, to the extent practical, within predetermined risk management policy guidelines, to have limited unmatched positions on a deal or portfolio basis while conducting these activities. As a result of holding open positions to a minimal level, the economic impact of changes in value of a particular transaction is substantially offset by an opposite change in the related hedge transaction.

Interest Rate Risk — Our exposure to interest-rate risk relates to short-term and long-term variable-rate borrowings. Variable-rate debt outstanding, including short-term and long-term debt, at June 30, 20212022 was $49.6$358.8 million and averaged $306.0$227.6 million during the first six months of 2021.2022. A hypothetical 100 basis point (1%) increase in interest rates on our average variable-rate debt outstanding would result in a $2.3$1.7 million increase in our annual interest expense, net of tax. The 100 basis point increase was chosen for illustrative purposes, as it provides a simple basis for calculating the impact of interest rate changes under a variety of interest rate scenarios. Over the past five years, the change in basis points (b.p.) of our average monthly interest rates from the beginning to end of each year was as follows: 2021 - 29 b.p. decrease; 2020 - 152 b.p. decrease; 2019 - 64 b.p. decrease; 2018 - 91 b.p. increase; and 2017 - 82 b.p. increase; and 2016 - 47 b.p. increase. At June 30, 2021,2022, our average interest rate on variable-rate debt was 0.10%1.47%.

We typically issue long-term debt either at fixed rates or use interest rate derivatives to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on variable rate, long-term debt. As of June 30, 2021,2022, the interest costs on $3.31$3.2 billion of our long-term debt (including current portion) was either at a fixed rate or hedged via an interest rate derivative.

SJG has interest rate derivatives to mitigate exposure to increasing interest rates and the impact of those rates on cash flows of variable-rate debt. These interest rate derivatives are measured at fair value and recorded in Derivatives - Other on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Interest Rate Risk - SJG's exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to variable-rate borrowings. Variable-rate debt, including both short-term and long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 2021,2022, was $49.6$49.7 million and averaged $36.1$55.8 million during the first six months of 2021.2022. A hypothetical 100 basis point (1%) increase in interest rates on SJG's average variable-rate debt outstanding would result in a $0.3$0.4 million increase in SJG's annual interest expense, net of tax. The 100 basis point increase was chosen for illustrative purposes, as it provides a simple basis for calculating the impact of interest rate changes under a variety of interest rate scenarios. Over the past five years, the change in basis points (b.p.) of SJG's average monthly interest rates from the beginning to end of each year was as follows: 2021 - 12 b.p. increase; 2020 - 220 b.p. decrease; 2019 - 73 b.p. decrease; 2018 - 91 b.p. increase; and 2017 - 91 b.p. increase; and 2016 - 19 b.p. increase. As of June 30, 2021,2022, SJG's average interest rate on variable-rate debt was 0.10%0.50%.

SJG typically issues long-term debt either at fixed rates or uses interest rate derivatives to limit exposure to changes in interest rates on variable-rate, long-term debt. As of June 30, 2021,2022, the interest costs on $1.07$1.0 billion of long-term debt (including current portion) was either at a fixed-rate or hedged via an interest rate derivative.

SJG's interest rate swaps are the same as SJI's as shown above.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than described below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors for SJI or SJG from those disclosed in Item 1A of SJI’s and SJG's Annual ReportsReport on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021 and Part II, Item 1A of SJI's and SJG's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

We issued additional securities in March and April 2021, and, as a result, we are subject to market risks including market demand for our debt and equity securities.

We have obtained financing which includes common stock and Equity Units.

Among other risks, the increase in our indebtedness may:

• make it more difficult for us to repay or refinance our debts as they become due during adverse economic and industry conditions;
• limit our flexibility to pursue other strategic opportunities or react to changes in ourOur business, and the industry in which we operate and, consequently, place us at a competitive disadvantage to competitors with less debt;
• require an increased portionresults of ouroperations, cash flows from operations to be used for debt service payments, thereby reducing the availability of cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures, dividend payments and other general corporate purposes;
• result in a downgrade in the credit rating of our indebtedness, which could limit our ability to borrow additional funds or increase the interest rates applicable to our indebtedness;
• result in higher interest expense in the event of increases in market interest rates for both long-term debt as well as short-term commercial paper, bank loans or borrowings under our line of credit at variable rates;
• reduce the amount of credit available to support hedging activities; and
• require that additional terms, conditions or covenants be placed on us.

Among other risks, the issuance of additional equity by SJI may:

• be dilutive to our existing shareholders and earnings per share;
• impact our capital structure and cost of the capital;
financial position may be adversely impacted by movementsthe continuation and consequences of the war in Ukraine. In late February 2022, Russian military forces commenced a military operation and invasion against Ukraine. The length, impact, and outcome of the ongoing war in Ukraine is highly unpredictable, which has created uncertainty for financial and commodity markets. While the Company does not have direct operations overseas, the conflict elevates the likelihood of supply chain disruptions, both in the overall equity markets or the utility or naturalregion and globally, along with heightened volatility in oil and gas utility industry sectors of that market, which could impact the offering price of any new equity or necessitate the use of other equity or equity-like instruments such as preferred stock, convertible preferred shares, or convertible debt; and
• impactprices. These may inhibit our ability to maketimely source materials and services and could affect our currentbusiness, financial condition and future dividend payments, or make future dividend payments at similar amounts per share as in the past.results of operations.
