EVERSOURCE ENERGY Q3 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 Eversource Energy. The earnings discussion includes financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (non - GAAP) referencing earnings and EPS excludin g losses on 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 abandoned, and certain transactio n a nd 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 the weighted average diluted Eversource En erg y 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 business, 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 business and to more fully compare and explain resu lts without including these items. This information is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating performance and planning and forecasting of future periods. Management believes the impacts of th e losses on the offshore wind investments, the loss on the disposition of land associated with an abandoned project, and transaction and transition costs are not indicative of Eversource Energy's ongoing costs and perfor man ce. Management views these charges as not directly related to the ongoing operations of the business and therefore not an indicator of baseline operating performance. Due to the nature and significance of the effect o f t hese items on net income attributable to common shareholders and EPS, management believes that the non - GAAP presentation is a more meaningful representation of Eversource Energy's financial performance and provides add itional and useful information to readers of this report in analyzing historical and future performance of the business. These non - GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to reported net income a ttributable to common shareholders or EPS determined in accordance with GAAP as indicators of Eversource Energy's operating performance. This document includes statements concerning Eversource Energy’s expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, as sumptions of future 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 Litigat ion 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,” “forecast,” “ sho uld,” “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 - looking statements. Forward - lo oking statements are based on the current expectations, estimates, assumptions or projections of management and are not guarantees of future performance. These expectations, estimates, assumptions or projections may var y m aterially from actual results. Accordingly, any such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are accompanied by, the following important factors that may cause our actual results or outcom es 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 i nfo rmation and the personal information of our customers; the ability to qualify for investment tax credits and investment tax credit adders; variability in the costs and final investment returns of the Revolution Wind and South Fork Wi nd offshore wind projects as it relates to the purchase price post - closing adjustment under the terms of the sale agreement for these projects ; disruptions in the capital markets or other events that make our access to necessary capital more difficult or costly; chan ges in economic conditions, including impact on interest rates, tax policies, and customer demand and payment ability; ability or inability to commence and complete our major strateg ic development projects and opportunities; acts of war or terrorism, physical attacks or grid disturbances that may damage and disrupt our electric transmission and electric, natural gas, and water distribution systems; ac tions or inaction of local, state and federal regulatory, public policy and taxing bodies; substandard performance of third - party suppliers and service providers; fluctuations in weather patterns, including extreme weat her due to climate change; changes in business conditions, which could include disruptive technology or development of alternative energy sources related to our current or future business model; contamination of, or di sruption in, our water supplies; changes in levels or timing of capital expenditures; changes in laws, regulations or regulatory policy, including compliance with environmental laws and regulations; changes in accounting s tan dards 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 on which suc h 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 circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events .
