Sempra's profit rose in the third quarter despite a decline in revenue after natural gas and other costs fell from a year earlier.

The San Diego-based electric and gas company reported net income of $721 million, compared with income of $485 million a year earlier. Earnings per share reached $1.14 from 77 cents and adjusted earnings per share rose to $1.08 from 98 cents.

The numbers for sales came in below market expectations, while profit outperformed. The consensus compiled by FactSet was for revenue of $3.68 billion and for net income of $637 million.

Total revenue fell to $3.33 billion from $3.62 billion. The company's cost for natural gas fell to $260 million in the quarter from $505 million a year earlier, while the cost of electric fuel and purchased power declined to $183 million from $307 million.
