EVERSOURCE ENERGY Q2 2024 EARNINGS REPORT Safe Harbor Statement 1 All per - share amounts in this presentation are reported on a diluted basis. The only common equity securities that are publicly traded are common shares of Ev ersource Energy. The earnings discussion includes financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (non - GAAP) referencing earnings and EP S excluding the impairment charge for the offshore wind investments, a loss on the disposition of land that was initially acquired to construct the Northern Pass Transmission project and was subsequently aba ndoned, and certain transaction and transition costs. EPS by business is also a non - GAAP financial measure and is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common shareholders of each business by t he weighted average diluted Eversource Energy common shares outstanding for the period. The earnings and EPS of each business do not represent a direct legal interest in the assets and liabilities of such bus iness, but rather represent a direct interest in Eversource Energy’s assets and liabilities as a whole. Eversource Energy uses these non - GAAP financial measures to evaluate and provide details of earnings results by bus iness and to more fully compare and explain results without including these items. This information is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating performance and planning an d f orecasting of future periods. Management believes the impacts of the impairment charge for the offshore wind investments, the loss on the disposition of land associated with an abandoned project, and trans act ion and transition costs are not indicative of Eversource Energy's ongoing costs and performance. Management views these charges as not directly related to the ongoing operations of the business and therefore n ot an indicator of baseline operating performance. Due to the nature and significance of the effect of these items on net income attributable to common shareholders and EPS, management believes that the non - GAAP pr esentation is a more meaningful representation of Eversource Energy's financial performance and provides additional and useful information to readers of this report in analyzing historical and fu tur e performance of the business. These non - GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to reported net income attributable to common shareholders or EPS determined in accordance with GA AP as indicators of Eversource Energy's operating performance. This document includes statements concerning Eversource Energy’s expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, assumptions o f f uture events, future financial performance or growth and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are “forward - looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, readers can identify these forward - looking statements through the use of words or phrases such as “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “believe,” “fore cas t,” “should,” “could” and other similar expressions. Forward - looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those included in the forward - lookin g statements. Forward - looking statements are based on the current expectations, estimates, assumptions or projections of management and are not guarantees of future performance. These expectations, estimat es, assumptions or projections may vary materially from actual results. Accordingly, any such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are accompanied by, the following impor tan t factors that may cause our actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in our forward - looking statements, including, but not limited to: cyberattacks or breaches, including those resulting in the compromise of the confidentiality of our proprietary information and the personal information of our customers; our ability to complete the sale of our offshore wind investments in the South Fork Wind and Re vol ution Wind projects on the timeline, terms and pricing we expect; if we and the counterparty are unable to satisfy all closing conditions and consummate the purchase and sale transaction with respect to th ese offshore wind assets; if we are unable to qualify for investment tax credits related to these projects; if we experience variability in the projected construction costs of these offshore wind projects, if there is a deterioration of market conditions in the offshore wind industry; and if the projects do not commence operation as scheduled or within budget or are not completed; disruptions in the capital markets or other events tha t m ake our access to necessary capital more difficult or costly; changes in economic conditions, including impact on interest rates, tax policies, and customer demand and payment ability; ability or inability t o c ommence and complete our major strategic development projects and opportunities; acts of war or terrorism, physical attacks or grid disturbances that may damage and disrupt our electric transmission and electric , n atural gas, and water distribution systems; actions or inaction of local, state and federal regulatory, public policy and taxing bodies; substandard performance of third - party suppliers and service providers; fluctuation s in weather patterns, including extreme weather due to climate change; changes in business conditions, which could include disruptive technology or development of alternative energy sources related to our cu rre nt or future business model; contamination of, or disruption in, our water supplies; changes in levels or timing of capital expenditures; changes in laws, regulations or regulatory policy, including compliance wit h environmental laws and regulations; changes in accounting standards and financial reporting regulations; actions of rating agencies; and other presently unknown or unforeseen factors. Other risk factors are detailed in Eversource Energy’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). They ar e updated as necessary and available on Eversource Energy’s website at www.eversource.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov . All such factors are difficult to predict and contain uncertainties that may materially affect Eversource Energy’s actual res ults, many of which are beyond our control. You should not place undue reliance on the forward - looking statements, as each speaks only as of the date o n which such statement is made, and, except as required by federal securities laws, Eversource Energy undertakes no obligation to update any forward - looking statement or statements to reflect events or circ umstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events .
