resulted in prolonged freezing temperatures, which impacted their businesses. The February 2021 Winter Storm Event impacted wholesale prices of CenterPoint Energy&#8217;s and CERC&#8217;s natural gas purchases and their ability to serve customers in their Natural Gas service territories, including due to the reduction in available natural gas capacity and impacts to CenterPoint Energy&#8217;s and CERC&#8217;s natural gas supply portfolio activities, and the effects of weather on their systems and their ability to transport natural gas, among other things. The overall natural gas market, including the markets from which CenterPoint Energy and CERC sourced a significant portion of their natural gas for their operations, experienced significant impacts caused by the February 2021 Winter Storm Event, resulting in extraordinary increases in the cost of natural gas purchased by CenterPoint Energy and CERC of approximately $<ix:nonFraction unitRef="usd" contextRef="c-218" decimals="-9" name="cnp:RegulatoryAssetApproximateTotalGasCost" format="ixt:num-dot-decimal" scale="9" id="f-1358">2</ix:nonFraction>&#160;billion.

Houston Electric&#8217;s lease with ERS expired on March 31, 2025, after the PUCT adopted the TEEEF Rule, which went into effect on January 8, 2025 and refined the scope of TEEEF filings that can be made pursuant to applicable Texas regulations.

Moreover, additional governmental and regulatory agencies and other entities may conduct such inquiries and investigations, as well. There are significant uncertainties around these inquiries and investigations and potential results and consequences, including with respect to our recovery of costs incurred as a result of Hurricane Beryl and whether any financial penalties will be assessed or changes to Houston Electric&#8217;s system, service territories, operations and/or regulatory treatment will result therefrom. Further, on January 22, 2025, a putative shareholder of CenterPoint Energy, Donel Davidson, filed a derivative petition in Harris County District Court, Texas, alleging breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment on behalf of CenterPoint Energy against certain of its current and former directors and officers citing, in part, the topics of these inquiries and investigations. The action seeks to recover damages and other relief from the defendants on behalf of CenterPoint Energy. The action was removed to the Texas Business Courts, and on June 18, 2025, the parties filed an agreed upon stipulation to stay the case, which was approved by the court on June 24, 2025. Additionally, on February 12, 2025, a second putative shareholder of CenterPoint Energy made a demand on the Board to investigate the same basic allegations raised in the derivative petition filed by Donel Davidson.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">CenterPoint Energy, CenterPoint Energy Service Company, LLC and Houston Electric are subject to current and potential future litigation and claims arising out of Hurricane Beryl, which litigation and claims could include allegations of, among other things, personal injury, property damage, various economic losses in connection with loss of power, unlawful business practices, and others.

On June 27, 2025, the MDL panel granted CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric&#8217;s motion to transfer to a MDL pretrial court, and the pending and any future-filed cases will be transferred to a MDL pretrial court. CenterPoint Energy, CenterPoint Energy Service Company, LLC and Houston Electric intend to vigorously defend themselves against the lawsuits. CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries have general and excess liability insurance policies that provide coverage for third party bodily injury and property damage claims. Given the nature of some allegations, certain insurers have disputed, and more insurers may dispute, coverage for some types of claims or damages that have been or may in the future be alleged by plaintiffs. For example, CenterPoint Energy has received from <ix:nonFraction unitRef="individual" contextRef="c-397" decimals="INF" name="cnp:LossContingencyNumberOfInsurersDenyingIndemnityCoverage" format="ixt-sec:numwordsen" scale="0" id="f-1707">two</ix:nonFraction> insurers denials of indemnity coverage in the putative class actions based on the failure to supply exclusion, and those insurers have also reserved their rights with respect to coverage in those actions. CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric intend to continue to pursue all available insurance coverage for all of these matters. To date, there have not been demands, quantification, disclosure or discovery of damages by any party to any of the above legal matters that are sufficient to enable CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries to estimate exposure. Given that, as well as the preliminary nature of the proceedings, the numerosity of parties and complexity of issues involved, and the uncertainties of litigation, CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries are unable to predict the outcome or consequences of any of the foregoing matters or to estimate a range of potential losses.

The judge ruled that ERCOT has sovereign immunity as a governmental entity and dismissed the suits against it. In a subsequent opinion in an unrelated matter, the Texas Supreme Court held that ERCOT is entitled to sovereign immunity. This ruling will apply to claims against ERCOT in the MDL. The MDL judge also dismissed all claims against the natural gas defendants (which list of natural gas defendants incorrectly included Utility Holding) and the REP defendants and some causes of action against the other defendants. CenterPoint Energy expects that the claims against Utility Holding will ultimately be dismissed in light of the judge&#8217;s initial rulings. As to the TDU and generator defendants, the judge dismissed some causes of action but denied the motions to dismiss claims for negligence, gross negligence, and nuisance, which denial the TDU defendants and generator defendants asked the courts of appeals to overturn. On April 2, 2024, a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals for the Fourteenth District of Texas issued an opinion in the TDU mandamus proceeding, granting in part and denying in part the TDUs&#8217; mandamus request. In its opinion, the panel granted the TDUs&#8217; mandamus request relating to the TDUs&#8217; motion to dismiss the plaintiffs&#8217; claims for (1) negligence, (2) negligent nuisance and (3) strict liability nuisance and ordered those claims be dismissed.

On a settlement date or dates, if CenterPoint Energy elects to physically settle the forward sale agreements, CenterPoint Energy will issue shares of Common Stock to the counterparties at the then-applicable forward sale price.

If the overnight bank funding rate is less than or more than the spread on any day, the interest rate factor will result in a reduction or an increase, respectively of the forward sale price. As initial pricing terms were based on market prices for Common Stock, no amounts were recorded at the execution of the forward sale agreements.

The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and numerous changes to the energy tax credits initially introduced and expanded under the IRA. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. Additionally, on July 7, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14315, which relates to the implementation of such changes to energy tax credits. The Registrants are evaluating the OBBBA for the effect on their future financial results, and the Registrants will consider the impacts of the OBBBA and Executive Order 14315 on any future generation projects, including any BTAs or PPAs, as applicable. As a result of the Registrants having limited generation activities qualifying for tax credits under the IRA, the Registrants do not expect material impacts resulting from the changes to the IRA. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Temporary Generation. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In June 2025, Houston Electric entered into definitive documentation, subject to PUCT approval, with relevant parties to release the 15 large 27 MW to 32 MW TEEEF units to the San Antonio area for a period of up to two years, during which time Houston Electric will not receive revenue or profit from ERCOT and will also not charge Houston-area customers for these TEEEF units while they are in San Antonio serving ERCOT.

projects following the passage of the IRA. On February 7, 2023, Indiana Electric filed a CPCN with the IURC to approve an amended BTA to purchase the 191 MW Posey Solar project. Indiana Electric requested that project costs, net of PTCs, be recovered in rate base rather than a levelized rate, through base rates or the CECA mechanism, depending on which provides more timely recovery. On September 6, 2023, the IURC issued an order approving the CPCN. On March 7, 2025, SIGECO completed the acquisition of Posey Solar from Arevon for a purchase price of approximately $357&#160;million. Subsequent to the acquisition, and pursuant to the Posey Solar Merger Agreement, Posey Solar was merged into SIGECO. The Posey Solar project was placed in service in the second quarter of 2025 and is currently being recovered through base rates. In the applicable rate case, the IURC approved Indiana Electric&#8217;s request to convey PTCs to customers through the new tax adjustment rider.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">For further information, see Note 3 to the Interim Condensed Financial Statements.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">On January 10, 2023, Indiana Electric filed a CPCN with the IURC to acquire a wind energy generating facility with installed capacity of 200 MWs through a BTA, consistent with its 2019/2020 IRP that calls for up to 300 MWs of wind generation. The wind project is located in the central region of MISO. Indiana Electric received approval from the IURC to recover the costs of the wind facility via the CECA mechanism, which is planned to be placed in service in 2027. On June 6, 2023, the IURC issued an order approving the CPCN, thereby authorizing Indiana Electric to purchase the wind generating facility. However, as of the date of the filing of this combined Form 10-Q, Indiana Electric has not entered into any definitive agreement relating to this wind energy generating facility, and there is a significant possibility that either no definitive agreement will be entered into at all or a definitive agreement will not be entered on the expected timeline. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">PPAs</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Indiana Electric sought approval in February 2021 for a 100 MW solar PPA with Clenera LLC in Warrick County, Indiana. The request accounted for increased cost of debt related to this PPA, which provides equivalent equity return to offset imputed debt during the 25-year life of the PPA. In October 2021, the IURC approved the Warrick County solar PPA but denied the request to preemptively offset imputed debt in the PPA cost. Due to rising project costs caused by inflation and supply chain issues affecting the energy industry, Clenera LLC and Indiana Electric were compelled to renegotiate terms of the agreement to increase the PPA price. On January 17, 2023, Indiana Electric filed a request with the IURC to amend the previously approved PPA with certain modifications. Revised purchase power costs are requested to be recovered through the fuel adjustment clause proceedings over the term of the amended PPA.

On May 4, 2022, the IURC issued an order approving Indiana Electric to enter into both PPAs. In March 2022, when the results of the MISO interconnection study were completed, Origis advised Indiana Electric that the costs to construct the solar project in Knox County, Indiana had increased. The increase was largely driven by escalating commodity and supply chain costs impacting manufacturers worldwide. In August 2022, Indiana Electric and Origis entered into an amended PPA, which reiterated the terms contained in the 2021 PPA with certain modifications. On February 22, 2023, the IURC approved the Knox County solar amended PPA; however, due to MISO interconnection delays, the project in-service date will be delayed from 2024 to 2026. On January 17, 2023, Indiana Electric filed a request with the IURC to amend the previously approved PPA with Oriden with certain modifications. Revised purchase power costs were approved to be recovered through the fuel adjustment clause proceedings over the term of the amended PPA with Oriden. On May 30, 2023, the IURC approved the Vermillion County solar amended PPA; however, due to MISO interconnection study delays, the developer disclosed the project in-service date would be delayed to 2028.

On June 28, 2022, the IURC approved the CPCN. The estimated $334 million turbine facility is being constructed at the previous site of the A.B. Brown power plant in Posey County, Indiana and is expected to provide a combined output of 460 MW. Indiana Electric received approval for depreciation expense and post in-service carrying costs to be deferred in a regulatory asset until the date Indiana Electric&#8217;s base rates include a return on and recovery of depreciation expense on the facility. A new approximately 23.5-mile pipeline was constructed and is operated by Texas Gas Transmission, LLC to supply natural gas to the turbine facility. FERC granted a certificate to construct the pipeline on October 20, 2022. On January 7, 2025, the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit affirmed the FERC&#8217;s order granting the certificate. Indiana Electric granted its contractor a full notice to proceed to construct the turbines on December 9, 2022. In the second quarter of 2025, 230 MW of the facility was placed in service, and, due to a transformer manufacturing issue, it is expected that the remaining 230 MW of the facility will be operational in the third quarter of 2025. On February 6, 2025, the EPC contractor for Indiana Electric&#8217;s proposed natural gas combustion turbines provided a notice to Indiana Electric that the EPC contractor was identifying the impacts of the proposed tariffs on the project and intended to seek an equitable adjustment to the contract price for the project. Indiana Electric received approval from the IURC on February 3, 2025, to recover for each combustion turbine by adjusting base rates as they are placed in service. The first turbine is currently being recovered in base rates that were updated on June 17, 2025.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Stewart-West Bay Transmission Project (CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric)</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:9pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">On April 30, 2025, Houston Electric filed a CCN application with the PUCT for approval to replace a portion of a 138 kV double circuit transmission line in Galveston County, Texas that connects Houston Electric&#8217;s Stewart and West Bay substations.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">On June 27, 2025, an order was issued dismissing all opposing parties from the proceeding.

The potential delays and inflationary cost pressures communicated from the developers of our solar projects have been primarily due to (i) unavailability of solar panels and other uncertainties related to DOC antidumping and countervailing duties investigation(s), (ii) the December 2021 Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act on solar modules and other products manufactured in China&#8217;s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and (iii) persistent general global supply chain and labor availability issues. On May 15, 2024, based on a petition filed by the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee, the DOC announced the initiation of antidumping and countervailing duty investigations of silicon photovoltaic cells from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. On October 1, 2024, the DOC&#8217;s preliminary countervailing duty determination affirmed the petition and established preliminary duty rates. On November 29, 2024, the DOC announced its preliminary affirmative determination in the antidumping investigation and established preliminary dumping rates. On April 21, 2025, the DOC announced its final affirmative determinations in the antidumping and countervailing duty investigations, determining that imports of silicon photovoltaic cells from the aforementioned countries are being dumped into the U.S. market and receiving countervailable subsidies. On May 20, 2025, the ITC announced its final determination that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of silicon photovoltaic cells from Malaysia and Vietnam and a U.S. industry is threatened with material injury by reason of imports of silicon photovoltaic cells from Cambodia and Thailand. As a result of such determinations, the DOC will impose certain duty rates on imports of silicon photovoltaic cells from the aforementioned countries. Furthermore, in 2025, the U.S. government has announced and, in certain cases, rescinded, multiple tariffs on several foreign jurisdictions and imports into the United States. Increased tariffs by the United States have led, and may continue to lead, to the imposition of retaliatory tariffs or other measures taken by foreign jurisdictions, which may in turn lead to additional tariffs imposed or measures taken by the United States. These tariffs, as well as new legislation, tariffs, bans, retaliatory trade measures or related governmental action, have already, and may continue to, further negatively impact the supply of solar panels. In addition to supply reductions, these or similar duties, legislation, tariffs, bans and other measures have and may in the future also put upward pressure on prices of these solar energy products, which may reduce our ability to acquire these items in a timely and cost-efficient manner. These impacts have resulted, and may continue to result in, cost increases for certain projects, and such impacts may require that we seek additional regulatory review and approvals. Additionally, significant changes to project costs and schedules as a result of these factors could impact the viability of the projects.

The filed SRP proposed to invest approximately $5.75 billion over a three-year period from 2026 to 2028 for transmission and distribution infrastructure, information technology and cybersecurity assets and event response capability. This plan proposed 39 resiliency-enhancing measures and a microgrid pilot program to be implemented over the three-year period. The SRP has an estimated capital cost of approximately $5.54 billion and an estimated operations and maintenance expense of approximately $211 million. Approximately $2.17 billion of such cost was for transmission-related investments, and approximately $3.58 billion was for distribution-related investments. Intervenor testimony was filed on April 8, 2025, and PUCT staff testimony was filed on April 15, 2025. On June 12, 2025, Houston Electric announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with parties to its SRP, which provides for approximately $3.18 billion in distribution related investments. The proposed transmission investments were removed from the SRP and will be implemented as appropriate outside of the SRP process. The agreement also includes the deferral of more than $240 million of the approximate $3.18 billion in SRP costs until the second half of 2029, which will help reduce the bill impact for customers by spreading costs over a four-year period instead of three years. Once approved, and while some cost recovery would be deferred into 2029, it is expected that all SRP work agreed upon in the settlement agreement will be completed in the proposed 2025 to 2028 timeframe. A decision from the PUCT is anticipated in the third quarter of 2025.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:9pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:9pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Rate Change Applications</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:9pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Registrants are routinely involved in rate change applications before state regulatory authorities.

The requested increase is approximately 6.5% or $85 million for 2024 and an additional approximately 3.7% or $52 million for 2025. The need for a rate change is primarily driven by continuing investment in the safety and reliability of the natural gas system, including new Intelis natural gas meters that feature an integrated safety shutoff valve, changes to depreciation rates that better reflect the actual life and salvage characteristics of assets and changes in other costs to serve customers. The request reflects a proposed 10.3% ROE on a 52.5% equity ratio. Interim rates for 2024 of $69 million, subject to refund, were implemented as of January 1, 2024. A request for interim rates of $33 million for 2025 was filed on September 30, 2024, approved at the December 3, 2024 hearing and approved by an order issued December 20, 2024. A unanimous settlement agreement was filed on November 25, 2024. The settlement provided for an increase of $60.8 million for 2024 and an additional $42.7 million for 2025. The parties agreed to an overall cost of capital of 7.07% for 2024 and 2025. The ALJ filed a report on February 13, 2025 recommending that the MPUC approve the settlement agreement.  As required by the December 20, 2024 order, the difference between 2024 interim rates and the settled amount of $60.8 million was refunded to customers in March 2025.  Exceptions to the ALJ report were filed on April 18, 2025. On May 29, 2025, the MPUC approved the settlement agreement. A final order approving the settlement agreement was issued by the MPUC on June 27, 2025 and final rates are expected to be implemented on September 1, 2025.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Houston Electric Rate Case.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> On March 6, 2024, Houston Electric filed an application with the PUCT requesting authority to change rates and charges for electric transmission and distribution service. The requested increase was approximately $17 million (1%) for retail customers and $43 million (6.6%) for wholesale transmission service, excluding TCRF and rate case expenses. The need for a rate increase was primarily driven by continuing investment that has been made to support customer growth and to bolster the safety and reliability of Houston Electric&#8217;s transmission and distribution system. The request reflected a proposed 10.4% ROE and a 45% equity ratio. Errata testimony was filed to correct minor errors included in the initial filing which reduced the requested increase to $56 million compared to then-current rates. Houston Electric reached a settlement agreement with certain parties and submitted the agreement to the PUCT on January 29, 2025. The settlement reflects a $47 million reduction in annual revenues and a 9.65% ROE and a weighted average cost of capital of 6.606% based upon an as-filed 4.29% cost of debt, an agreed ROE of 9.65% and an agreed regulatory capital structure of 56.75% long-term debt and 43.25% equity. A final order approving the settlement agreement was issued by the PUCT on March 13, 2025.  Final retail delivery rates were implemented on April 28, 2025. Final wholesale transmission rates were superseded by interim TCOS rates that went into effect on the same date.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Ohio Gas Rate Case</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">.

One intervening party to the case, Spire Marketing, Inc., is a non-opposing party, while another intervening party to the case, the Office of the Ohio Consumers&#8217; Counsel, did not sign onto, and has indicated that it plans to oppose, the stipulation and recommendation. The stipulation and recommendation included a revenue requirement of $371.3 million, which would result in a revenue requirement increase of $59.6 million based on a rate of return of 7.1% comprised of a ROE of 9.85% with a capitalization ratio of 52.9% common equity, 47.1% long-term debt at a cost of debt of 4.02%. The stipulation and recommendation amortization periods for CEP and DRR assets within base rates and within the rider mechanisms is 15 years. The stipulation and recommendation included an extension of the CEP rider and DRR through 2029 investment with revised residential caps for dollars per month per customer ranging from $2.75 for 2025 investment to $9.95 for 2029 investment for the CEP rider, and from $2.56 for 2025 investment to $7.69 for 2029 investment for DRR.

If Docket No. 57172 is approved by the PUCT, applying the secondary cap would result in an estimated $19 million reduction to Houston Electric&#8217;s initial EECRF request, reducing the requested $40 million bonus to $21 million.</span></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan="33" style="background-color:#cceeff;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:center;vertical-align:top"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%">CenterPoint Energy and CERC - Beaumont/East Texas, South Texas, Houston and Texas Coast (Railroad Commission)</span></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="display:none"/><td colspan="3" style="display:none"/><td colspan="3" style="display:none"/><td colspan="3" style="display:none"/><td colspan="3" style="display:none"/><td colspan="3" style="display:none"/><td colspan="3" style="display:none"/><td colspan="3" style="display:none"/><td colspan="3" style="display:none"/><td colspan="3" style="display:none"/><td colspan="3" style="display:none"/></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:1pt solid #000;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><div style="text-align:center"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">Tax Act Rider</span></div></td><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:1pt solid #000;padding:0 1pt"/><td style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:1pt solid #000;padding:2px 0 2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">$</span></td><td style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:1pt solid #000;padding:2px 0;text-align:right;vertical-align:top"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">15&#160;</span></td><td style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:1pt solid #000;padding:2px 1pt 2px 0;text-align:right;vertical-align:top"/><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:1pt solid #000;padding:0 1pt"/><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:1pt solid #000;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><div style="text-align:center"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">August 2024</span></div></td><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:1pt solid #000;padding:0 1pt"/><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:1pt solid #000;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><div style="text-align:center"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">June 2025</span></div></td><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:1pt solid #000;padding:0 1pt"/><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:1pt solid #000;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><div style="text-align:center"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">May 2025</span></div></td><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:1pt solid #000;padding:0 1pt"/><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:1pt solid #000;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">Resulting from the Texas Gas Rate Case, the first Tax Act Rider Calculation was filed on August 1, 2024 pursuant to Docket No. OS-23-00015513 to recover the effects of the IRA and certain other tax-related costs for rates that became effective January 1, 2025. These effects include the return on the CAMT deferred tax asset (&#8220;DTA&#8221;) resulting from the IRA, income tax credits resulting from the IRA, and the return on the increment or decrement in the net operating loss DTA included in the rate base and in the standard service base revenue requirement approved in the Texas Gas Rate Case. CERC believes its filing is consistent with the Tax Act Rider tariff approved in Docket No. OS-23-00015513. On October 1, 2024, certain parties filed comments disputing the application. Briefings were filed with an ALJ in November 2024. A hearing on the merits was held on February 21, 2025 and continued on March 21, 2025.  On March 21, 2025, a unanimous settlement agreement was filed.  On April 11, 2025, a PFD was issued.  The Railroad Commission  considered the PFD at the May 13, 2025 open meeting and issued a Final Order approving the settlement agreement.</span></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3"

which 80% is included in the mechanism and 20% is deferred until the next rate case.

For example, in March 2025, the U.S. government imposed a 25% tariff on steel imports, and in April 2025, the U.S. government announced a baseline tariff of 10% on products imported from all countries and an additional individualized reciprocal tariff on the countries with which the United States has the largest trade deficits, including China. Increased tariffs by the United States have led, and may continue to lead, to the imposition of retaliatory tariffs or other measures taken by foreign jurisdictions, which may in turn lead to additional tariffs imposed or measures taken by the United States. Additionally, the announcement and rescission of tariffs on foreign jurisdictions has increased uncertainty regarding the ultimate effect of the tariffs on economic conditions. Current uncertainties about tariffs and their effects on trading relationships may affect the Registrants&#8217; ability to access the capital markets, contribute to inflation in the markets in which the Registrants operate, increase commodity cost volatility, impact availability of goods and materials or otherwise negatively impact the global supply chain. The Registrants are continuing to monitor the economic effects of such announcements and developments, as well as the Registrants&#8217; ability to mitigate their related impacts, but costs and other effects associated with the tariffs remain uncertain.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:9pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:9pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Greenhouse Gas and Climate-Related Regulation and Compliance (CenterPoint Energy)</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">There has been increasing attention at the local, state and international levels to the issue of climate risk.

Since taking office, President Trump has issued a series of executive orders and presidential memoranda that seek to increase investment in fossil fuel infrastructure, including by directing all heads of federal agencies to identify and begin the processes to suspend, revise or rescind all agency actions that are determined to be unduly burdensome on the identification, development or use of domestic energy resources, with particular attention to oil, natural gas, hydropower, biofuels, critical mineral and nuclear energy resources. Additionally, on July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was signed into law, which includes numerous changes to the energy tax credits initially introduced and expanded under the IRA, including accelerated phase outs for certain credits. Further, on July 7, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14315, which relates to the implementation of such changes to energy tax credits. This shift in federal domestic energy policy has resulted in uncertainty with respect to the scope and speed of future renewable generation infrastructure development and the role that existing renewable generation will play in support of the U.S. energy grid.  The long-term impacts of this domestic energy policy shift are uncertain, including with respect to impacts on the development of, and consequently the availability of, alternative energy sources (such as solar energy, including private solar, wind energy, microturbines, fuel cells, energy-efficient buildings and energy storage devices). Additionally, it is unclear whether, and if so how, the new domestic energy policy, including the potential suspension, revision or rescission of regulations restricting emissions (including methane emissions), will affect consumers&#8217; and companies&#8217; energy use, adoption of alternative energy sources or decisions to expand their facilities, including natural gas facilities. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:9pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:107%">  </span></div><div id="i7443479e95cf479180e58bfc8a98680e_181"></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Other Matters</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-indent:9pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Credit Facilities</span></div><div style="text-indent:9pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Registrants may draw on their respective revolving credit facilities from time to time to provide funds used for general corporate and limited liability company purposes, including to backstop CenterPoint Energy&#8217;s and CERC&#8217;s commercial paper programs.

A decline in credit ratings would also increase the interest rate on long-term debt to be issued in the capital markets and could negatively impact the Registrants&#8217; ability to complete capital market transactions and to access the commercial paper market.

Funds for the payment of cash upon exchange could be obtained from the sale of the shares of ZENS-Related Securities that CenterPoint Energy owns or from other sources. CenterPoint Energy owns shares of ZENS-Related Securities equal to approximately 100% of the reference shares used to calculate its obligation to the holders of the ZENS. ZENS exchanges result in a cash outflow because tax deferrals related to the ZENS and shares of ZENS-Related Securities would typically cease when ZENS are exchanged or otherwise retired and shares of ZENS-Related Securities are sold. The ultimate tax liability related to the ZENS and ZENS-Related Securities continues to increase by the amount of the tax benefit realized each year, and there could be a significant cash outflow when the taxes are paid as a result of the retirement or exchange of the ZENS. If all ZENS had been exchanged for cash on&#160;June&#160;30, 2025, deferred taxes of approximately&#160;$819 million&#160;would have been payable in&#160;2025. If all the ZENS-Related Securities had been sold on&#160;June&#160;30, 2025, capital gains taxes of approximately&#160;$108&#160;million&#160;would have been payable in&#160;2025 based on 2025 tax rates in effect.

The Registrants may seek to fund all or part of any such efforts with proceeds from debt and/or equity issuances. Debt or equity financing may not, however, be available to the Registrants at that time due to a variety of events, including, among others, maintenance of our credit ratings, industry conditions, general economic conditions, market conditions and market perceptions. CenterPoint Energy has increased its planned capital expenditures in its Electric and Natural Gas businesses multiple times over the recent years to support rate base growth and may continue to do so in the future.

Before conducting business, a REP must register with the PUCT and must meet certain financial qualifications. Nevertheless, adverse economic conditions, weather events such as the February 2021 Winter Storm Event, structural problems in the market served by ERCOT or financial difficulties of one or more REPs could impair the ability of these REPs to pay for Houston Electric&#8217;s services or could cause them to delay such payments. Houston Electric depends on these REPs to remit payments on a timely basis, and any delay or default in payment by REPs could adversely affect Houston Electric&#8217;s cash flows. In the event of a REP default, Houston Electric&#8217;s tariff provides a number of remedies, including the option for Houston Electric to request that the PUCT suspend or revoke the certification of the REP. Applicable regulatory provisions require that customers be shifted to another REP or a provider of last resort if a REP cannot make timely payments. However, Houston Electric remains at risk for payments related to services provided prior to the shift to the replacement REP or the provider of last resort. If a REP were unable to meet its obligations, it could consider, among various options, restructuring under the bankruptcy laws, in which event such REP might seek to avoid honoring its obligations and claims might be made against Houston Electric involving payments it had received from such REP. If a REP were to file for bankruptcy, Houston Electric may not be successful in recovering accrued receivables owed by such REP that are unpaid as of the date the REP filed for bankruptcy. However, PUCT regulations authorize utilities, such as Houston Electric, to defer bad debts resulting from defaults by REPs for recovery in future rate cases, subject to a review of reasonableness and necessity. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:9pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New

An accounting estimate is an approximation made by management of a financial statement element, item or account in the financial statements. Accounting estimates in the Registrants&#8217; historical consolidated financial statements measure the effects of past business transactions or events, or the present status of an asset or liability. Additionally, different estimates that the Registrants could have used or changes in an accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur could have a material impact on the presentation of their financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The circumstances that make these judgments difficult, subjective and/or complex have to do with the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty. The Registrants base their estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments. These estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Registrants&#8217; operating environment changes. Our critical accounting policies that we deemed the most material in nature were reported in our combined 2024 Form 10-K. There has been no material changes with regard to these critical accounting policies.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div id="i7443479e95cf479180e58bfc8a98680e_187"></div><div style="padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Item 3.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:6.02pt">QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Houston Electric and CERC meet the conditions specified in General Instruction H(1)(a) and (b) to Form 10-Q and are therefore permitted to use the reduced disclosure format for wholly-owned subsidiaries of reporting companies.

The Registrants seek to manage interest rate exposure by monitoring the effects of changes in market interest rates and using a combination of fixed and variable rate debt. Additionally, interest rate swaps are used to mitigate interest rate exposure when deemed appropriate. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">CenterPoint Energy&#8217;s floating rate obligations aggregated $2.5 billion and $1.5 billion as of June&#160;30, 2025 and December&#160;31, 2024, respectively.

Because these instruments are fixed-rate, they do not expose CenterPoint Energy to the risk of loss in earnings due to changes in market interest rates. However, the fair value of these instruments would increase by approximately $748&#160;million if interest rates were to decline by 10% from levels on June&#160;30, 2025. In general, such an increase in fair value would impact earnings and cash flows only if CenterPoint Energy were to reacquire all or a portion of these instruments in the open market prior to their maturity.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="height:36pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:center"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">74</span></div></div></div><div id="i7443479e95cf479180e58bfc8a98680e_190"></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"/><div style="min-height:36pt;width:100%"><div><span style="color:#0000ff;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;text-decoration:underline"><a style="color:#0000ff;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;text-decoration:underline" href="#i7443479e95cf479180e58bfc8a98680e_7">Table of Contents</a></span></div></div><div style="padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Item 4.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:6.02pt">CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, the Registrants carried out separate evaluations, under the supervision and with the participation of each company&#8217;s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Such costs are capitalized if they meet both of the following criteria: a.

Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs. If the revenue will be provided through an automatic rate-adjustment clause, this criterion requires that the regulator's intent clearly be to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost.</p></div>

Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs. If the revenue will be provided through an automatic rate-adjustment clause, this criterion requires that the regulator's intent clearly be to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost.</p></div>

The purchase price for the Louisiana and Mississippi natural gas LDC businesses was $1.2&#160;billion, subject to adjustment as set forth in the LAMS Asset Purchase Agreement, including adjustments based on net working capital, regulatory assets and liabilities and capital expenditures at closing. The transaction closed on March 31, 2025. As of the closing date, the businesses included approximately 12,000 miles of main pipeline in Louisiana and Mississippi serving approximately 380,000 customers. Prior to the sale, the Louisiana and Mississippi natural gas LDC businesses were reflected in CenterPoint Energy&#8217;s Natural Gas reportable segment and CERC&#8217;s single reportable segment, as applicable.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The sale was considered an asset sale for tax purposes, requiring net deferred tax liabilities to be excluded from held for sale balances. The deferred taxes associated with the businesses were recognized as a deferred income tax benefit by CenterPoint Energy and CERC upon closing of the sale in 2025.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Although the Louisiana and Mississippi natural gas LDC businesses met the held for sale criteria as of December 31, 2024, their disposals did not represent a strategic shift for CenterPoint Energy or CERC, as both retain significant operations in, and continue to invest in, their natural gas businesses. Therefore, the assets and liabilities, as well as the related income and expenses, associated with these transactions were not reflected as discontinued operations on CenterPoint Energy&#8217;s or CERC&#8217;s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Statements of Consolidated Income, as applicable. Since the depreciation on the Louisiana and Mississippi natural gas LDC businesses&#8217; assets continued to be reflected in revenues through customer rates until the closing of the transaction and was then reflected in the carryover basis of the rate-regulated assets after the sale, CenterPoint Energy and CERC continued to record depreciation on those assets through the closing of the transaction. The Registrants recorded assets and liabilities held for sale at the lower of their carrying value or their estimated fair value less cost to sell.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">CenterPoint Energy and CERC recognized a loss of $43 million and a gain of $52 million, respectively, net of transaction costs of $21 million, in connection with the closing of the disposition of the Louisiana and Mississippi natural gas LDC businesses during the six months ended June&#160;30, 2025. Goodwill of $217&#160;million and $122&#160;million was allocated to the Louisiana and Mississippi natural gas LDC businesses by CenterPoint Energy and CERC, respectively, at the time the held for sale criteria was met and such amount was subsequently derecognized following the completion of the sale on March 31, 2025. As of June&#160;30, 2025, CenterPoint Energy and CERC had a receivable of $12&#160;million for working capital and other customary adjustments set forth in the LAMS Asset Purchase Agreement.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">As a result of the sale of the Louisiana and Mississippi natural gas LDC businesses, there were no assets or liabilities classified as held for sale as of June&#160;30, 2025.

technology functions, for a term of up to 24 months. Subject to the conditions in the Transition Services Agreement, the LAMS Buyers may terminate these support services with 60 days prior written notice. CenterPoint Energy and CERC&#8217;s charges to the LAMS Buyers for reimbursement of transition services were $8.5&#160;million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

The purchase represents an asset acquisition. The lease obligations related to Posey Solar were approximately $35&#160;million at the time of acquisition. The purchase was subject to terms and conditions in an order approved by the IURC on September 6, 2023, allowing Indiana Electric to recover project costs, net of PTCs, in rate base rather than a levelized rate, through base rates or the CECA mechanism, depending on which provides more timely recovery. Posey Solar was placed into service on May 30, 2025. Indiana Electric began recovering on the asset through updated base rates on June 17, 2025. On February 3, 2025, the IURC approved Indiana Electric&#8217;s request to convey PTCs to customers through the new tax adjustment rider.</span></div><span></span>

resulted in prolonged freezing temperatures, which impacted their businesses. The February 2021 Winter Storm Event impacted wholesale prices of CenterPoint Energy&#8217;s and CERC&#8217;s natural gas purchases and their ability to serve customers in their Natural Gas service territories, including due to the reduction in available natural gas capacity and impacts to CenterPoint Energy&#8217;s and CERC&#8217;s natural gas supply portfolio activities, and the effects of weather on their systems and their ability to transport natural gas, among other things. The overall natural gas market, including the markets from which CenterPoint Energy and CERC sourced a significant portion of their natural gas for their operations, experienced significant impacts caused by the February 2021 Winter Storm Event, resulting in extraordinary increases in the cost of natural gas purchased by CenterPoint Energy and CERC of approximately $2&#160;billion. CenterPoint Energy and CERC have completed recovery of natural gas costs in Mississippi, Indiana, Louisiana and Texas, and continue to recover the natural gas cost in Minnesota. As of June&#160;30, 2025, CenterPoint Energy and CERC had each recorded current regulatory assets of $67&#160;million and non-current regulatory assets of $30&#160;million associated with the February 2021 Winter Storm Event.

As CenterPoint Energy and CERC have no future financial obligations for the repayment of the state&#8217;s customer rate relief bonds, the customer rate relief bonds are not recorded on CenterPoint Energy&#8217;s or CERC&#8217;s balance sheets. The $1.1&#160;billion in cash proceeds from the state&#8217;s customer rate relief bonds is considered to be a government grant. The state&#8217;s customer rate relief bonds are backed in part by customer rate relief property, including customer rate relief charges, which are non-bypassable uniform monthly volumetric charges to be paid by all existing and future sales customers as a component of each regulated utility&#8217;s gas cost, separate from their base rate. CERC only acts as a collection agent, whose duties include management, servicing and administration of a portion of the customer rate relief property which is associated with the customer rate relief charge imposed on customers of CERC under the guidance and direction from the Railroad Commission. The Texas Natural Gas Securitization Finance Corporation, and not CenterPoint Energy or CERC, is the owner of the customer rate relief property. The assets of the Texas Natural Gas Securitization Finance Corporation are not available to pay creditors of CenterPoint Energy, CERC, or their affiliates. While the customer rate relief charges will be included by CERC in their monthly billings, the billing amount is established by the Railroad Commission. CERC will remit all customer rate relief charges collected to the financing entity set up by the Railroad Commission. Therefore, the collection and servicing of customer rate relief charges have no impact on the respective Condensed Statements of Consolidated Income of CenterPoint Energy or CERC.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:9pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Indiana Electric Securitization of Generation Retirements (CenterPoint Energy)</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:9pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">On January 4, 2023, the IURC issued an order in accordance with Indiana Senate Enrolled Act 386 authorizing the issuance of up to $350&#160;million in securitization bonds to securitize qualified costs associated with the retirements of Indiana Electric&#8217;s</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">A.B.

Specifically, the TCA requested that the PUCT end cost recovery and return on investment on all the large up to 32 MW and 5 MW TEEEF units approved in Docket 53442. On October 2, 2024, Houston Electric filed a response to the TCA complaint and requested that the complaint be dismissed due to the principles of </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">res judicata</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> and collateral estoppel. On October 8, 2024, the TCA supplemented its complaint and on October 9, 2024, PUCT staff filed a statement of position stating that Houston Electric&#8217;s response provided a strong argument for dismissal of the complaint, but also stating that it would be prudent to have a thorough legal argument from the TCA. On October 10, 2024, the PUCT issued Order No. 2 finding the TCA complaint insufficient and requiring supplemental information or amendment from the TCA by October 24, 2024; the TCA filed supplemental information on October 24, 2024. On November 14, 2024, the PUCT issued Order No. 4 denying the motion to reconsider and extending a deadline. On December 16, 2024, the PUCT issued Order No. 5 granting waiver of the requirement for informal disposition and soliciting PUCT staff recommendation by January 16, 2025. On January 16, 2025, the PUCT staff filed a supplemental recommendation recommending that the TCA had not met its requirement to first present its complaint to the City of Houston prior to presenting it to the PUCT. On February 26, 2025, the TCA filed its complaint with the City of Houston. On April 1, 2025, the TCA filed the response from the City of Houston dated March 12, 2025, which stated the matter is closed and the City of Houston does not have the authority to re-visit these dockets. The City of Houston also stated that the TCA may appeal to the PUCT and then district court. On April 29, 2025, the PUCT staff filed a supplemental statement of position and motion to dismiss the TCA&#8217;s complaint due to lack of jurisdiction. On May 19, 2025, the PUCT issued Order No. 8 lifting the abatement and requiring parties to file responses indicating whether they wish to proceed with or without a hearing. In response to Order No. 8, Houston Electric and the PUCT staff filed responses on June 20, 2025, supporting the dismissal of the TCA&#8217;s complaint without a hearing. The TCA also filed a response on June 20, 2025, to request that the parties be allowed to delay responding to the request for a hearing in this docket until a final settlement is made in Docket 57980 (Houston Electric&#8217;s application to remove the 15 large 27 MW to 32 MW TEEEF units from its TEEEF fleet) or, if the request for delay is not granted, to request that the hearing in this docket be scheduled after the settlement of Docket 57980. On June 29, 2025, Order No. 9 was issued, granting the TCA&#8217;s request to abate this complaint case until a final order is issued in Docket 57980.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">On December 19, 2024, Houston Electric announced a proposal to release its 15 large 27 MW to 32 MW TEEEF units to the San Antonio area prior to the summer of 2025.

On April 18, 2025, a proposal was filed with the PUCT (Docket 57980), seeking approval of the aforementioned release to ERCOT, a corresponding reduction to TEEEF fleet capacity and a rate reduction to reflect the removal of the 15 large TEEEF units from Houston Electric&#8217;s TEEEF fleet. On June 4, 2025, Houston Electric entered into definitive documentation, subject to PUCT approval, to release the 15 large 27 MW to 32 MW TEEEF units to the San Antonio area for a period of up to two years, during which time Houston Electric will not receive revenue or profit from ERCOT and will not charge Houston-area customers for such TEEEF units while they remain in the San Antonio area serving ERCOT. Following the completion of service in the San Antonio area, Houston Electric anticipates that it would receive revenues from one or more future transactions involving various sizes of the TEEEF units, and therefore plans to continue to not charge customers for these units for any future periods. On June 5, 2025, all of the intervenors submitted a joint request for hearing.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">On July 9, 2025, PUCT referred this docket to the SOAH.

Houston Electric&#8217;s lease with ERS expired on March 31, 2025, after the PUCT adopted the TEEEF Rule, which went into effect on January 8, 2025 and refined the scope of TEEEF filings that can be made pursuant to applicable Texas regulations. Among other things, the TEEEF Rule has specific provisions relating to when and how utilities must request PUCT authorization to lease TEEEF units, and it generally requires a utility to obtain preapproval prior to renewing or entering into a new lease of TEEEF units. Houston Electric believes that it continues to need small TEEEF units, and on May 27, 2025, Houston Electric filed an application pursuant to the TEEEF Rule requesting preapproval to enter into two leases for a combined approximately 20 MW of TEEEF capacity comprised of 36 small TEEEF units, each with a capacity range of 200-kilowatt to 1,250-kilowatt, for respective terms of 36 months.

Houston Electric is deferring the related system restoration costs as management believes it is probable that such costs will be recovered through the regulatory process.

On March 19, 2025, Houston Electric filed a settlement agreement with the PUCT, under which Houston Electric would be entitled to recover a total of $396 million in distribution-related costs relating to the May 2024 Storm Events, along with carrying costs from the date those costs were incurred until system restoration bonds are issued. The settlement agreement also provided for the recovery of $29&#160;million in transmission-related costs related to the May 2024 Storm Events that will be eligible for recovery through existing mechanisms established to recover transmission costs. Houston Electric agreed to defer $17.5&#160;million of its distribution-related costs to the Hurricane Beryl cost determination proceeding and further agreed to an overall $10&#160;million reduction in costs as part of the settlement agreement. A final order approving the settlement agreement was issued by the PUCT on April 24, 2025.

The AMAs have varying terms, the longest of which expires in 2029. Pursuant to the provisions of the agreements, CenterPoint Energy&#8217;s and CERC&#8217;s Natural Gas businesses either sell natural gas to the asset manager and agree to repurchase an equivalent amount of natural gas throughout the year at the same cost, or simply purchase their full natural gas requirements at each delivery point from the asset manager. Generally, AMAs are contracts between CenterPoint Energy&#8217;s and CERC&#8217;s Natural Gas businesses and an asset manager that are intended to transfer the working capital obligation and maximize the utilization of the assets. In these agreements, CenterPoint Energy&#8217;s and CERC&#8217;s Natural Gas businesses agree to release transportation and storage capacity to other parties to manage natural gas storage, supply and delivery arrangements for CenterPoint Energy&#8217;s and CERC&#8217;s Natural Gas businesses and to use the released capacity for other purposes when it is not needed for CenterPoint Energy&#8217;s and CERC&#8217;s Natural Gas businesses. CenterPoint Energy&#8217;s and CERC&#8217;s Natural Gas businesses may receive compensation from the asset manager through payments made over the life of the AMAs. CenterPoint Energy&#8217;s and CERC&#8217;s Natural Gas businesses have an obligation to purchase their winter storage requirements that have been released to the asset manager under these AMAs.

Moreover, additional governmental and regulatory agencies and other entities may conduct such inquiries and investigations, as well. There are significant uncertainties around these inquiries and investigations and potential results and consequences, including with respect to our recovery of costs incurred as a result of Hurricane Beryl and whether any financial penalties will be assessed or changes to Houston Electric&#8217;s system, service territories, operations and/or regulatory treatment will result therefrom. Further, on January 22, 2025, a putative shareholder of CenterPoint Energy, Donel Davidson, filed a derivative petition in Harris County District Court, Texas, alleging breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment on behalf of CenterPoint Energy against certain of its current and former directors and officers citing, in part, the topics of these inquiries and investigations. The action seeks to recover damages and other relief from the defendants on behalf of CenterPoint Energy. The action was removed to the Texas Business Courts, and on June 18, 2025, the parties filed an agreed upon stipulation to stay the case, which was approved by the court on June 24, 2025. Additionally, on February 12, 2025, a second putative shareholder of CenterPoint Energy made a demand on the Board to investigate the same basic allegations raised in the derivative petition filed by Donel Davidson.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">CenterPoint Energy, CenterPoint Energy Service Company, LLC and Houston Electric are subject to current and potential future litigation and claims arising out of Hurricane Beryl, which litigation and claims could include allegations of, among other things, personal injury, property damage, various economic losses in connection with loss of power, unlawful business practices, and others. As of June&#160;30, 2025, several putative class actions had been filed against CenterPoint Energy and/or Houston Electric in the District Courts of Harris County, Texas, on behalf of individuals or entities who claim losses due to </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">power outages lasting at least 48 hours as a result of Hurricane Beryl, such actions consisting of the following proposed classes: (1) all restaurants in Harris County, Galveston County, and Montgomery County; (2) all residential customers; and (3) all health, wellness, medical and beauty facilities in Harris County. These putative classes assert claims and theories of negligence, gross negligence, nuisance, fraud, and/or violation of Houston Electric&#8217;s tariff for retail delivery service, and each seeks damages in excess of $100&#160;million for, among other things, business interruption, property damage and loss, cost of repair, loss of use and market value, lost income, nuisance, extreme mental anguish and/or punitive damages. In addition, as of the date of the filing of this combined Form 10-Q, several individual actions had been filed in Harris County District Courts asserting claims of negligence, negligence per se, negligent undertaking and/or gross negligence against CenterPoint Energy, CenterPoint Energy Service Company, LLC and/or Houston Electric. Certain plaintiffs in these actions allege personal injury or property damage from downed power lines and seek damages in excess of $1&#160;million. On June 27, 2025, the MDL panel granted CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric&#8217;s motion to transfer to a MDL pretrial court, and the pending and any future-filed cases will be transferred to a MDL pretrial court. CenterPoint Energy, CenterPoint Energy Service Company, LLC and Houston Electric intend to vigorously defend themselves against the lawsuits. CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries have general and excess liability insurance policies that provide coverage for third party bodily injury and property damage claims. Given the nature of some allegations, certain insurers have disputed, and more insurers may dispute, coverage for some types of claims or damages that have been or may in the future be alleged by plaintiffs. For example, CenterPoint Energy has received from two insurers denials of indemnity coverage in the putative class actions based on the failure to supply exclusion, and those insurers have also reserved their rights with respect to coverage in those actions. CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric intend to continue to pursue all available insurance coverage for all of these matters. To date, there have not been demands, quantification, disclosure or discovery of damages by any party to any of the above legal matters that are sufficient to enable CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries to estimate exposure. Given that, as well as the preliminary nature of the proceedings, the numerosity of parties and complexity of issues involved, and the uncertainties of litigation, CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries are unable to predict the outcome or consequences of any of the foregoing matters or to estimate a range of potential losses.

Like other Texas energy companies and TDUs, CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric have become involved in certain investigations, litigation and other regulatory and legal proceedings regarding their efforts to restore power during the storm and their compliance with NERC, ERCOT and PUCT rules and directives. Additionally, like other natural gas market participants, CERC has been named in litigation alleging gas market manipulation.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">CenterPoint Energy, Utility Holding, and Houston Electric, along with hundreds of other defendants (including ERCOT, power generation companies, other TDUs, natural gas producers, REPs, and other entities) received claims and lawsuits filed by plaintiffs alleging wrongful death, personal injury, property damage and other injuries and damages. As of June&#160;30, 2025, there were approximately 220 pending lawsuits that are consolidated in Texas state court in Harris County, Texas, as part of the MDL proceeding related to the February 2021 Winter Storm Event, and CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric, along with numerous other entities, have been named as defendants in approximately 155 of those lawsuits. One of the lawsuits in the MDL is a putative class action on behalf of everyone who received electric power via the ERCOT grid and sustained a power outage between February 10, 2021 and February 28, 2021. Additionally, Utility Holding is currently named as a defendant in one lawsuit in which CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric are also named as defendants.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The judge overseeing the MDL issued an initial case management order and stayed all proceedings and discovery. Per the case management order, the judge entertained dispositive motions in five representative or &#8220;bellwether&#8221; cases and, in late January 2023, issued rulings on them. The judge ruled that ERCOT has sovereign immunity as a governmental entity and dismissed the suits against it. In a subsequent opinion in an unrelated matter, the Texas Supreme Court held that ERCOT is entitled to sovereign immunity. This ruling will apply to claims against ERCOT in the MDL. The MDL judge also dismissed all claims against the natural gas defendants (which list of natural gas defendants incorrectly included Utility Holding) and the REP defendants and some causes of action against the other defendants. CenterPoint Energy expects that the claims against Utility Holding will ultimately be dismissed in light of the judge&#8217;s initial rulings. As to the TDU and generator defendants, the judge dismissed some causes of action but denied the motions to dismiss claims for negligence, gross negligence, and nuisance, which denial the TDU defendants and generator defendants asked the courts of appeals to overturn. On April 2, 2024, a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals for the Fourteenth District of Texas issued an opinion in the TDU mandamus proceeding, granting in part and denying in part the TDUs&#8217; mandamus request. In its opinion, the panel granted the TDUs&#8217; mandamus request relating to the TDUs&#8217; motion to dismiss the plaintiffs&#8217; claims for (1) negligence, (2) negligent nuisance and (3) strict liability nuisance and ordered those claims be dismissed. The panel denied the TDUs&#8217; mandamus request relating to the TDUs&#8217; motion to dismiss the plaintiffs&#8217; gross negligence and intentional nuisance claims. On May 22, 2024, the TDUs filed a mandamus petition with the Supreme Court of Texas, seeking dismissal of the remaining claims.

These motions included the TDUs&#8217; motion to dismiss under Chapter 150 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, which was filed in one of the bellwether cases and argued that all of plaintiffs&#8217; claims should be dismissed because the plaintiffs did not include a sufficient certificate by a qualified engineer with their petition as required by Texas law, as well as a motion to deny class certification in the putative class action. On November 13, 2024, the MDL Court granted the TDUs&#8217; motion to dismiss under Chapter 150, and on December 3, 2024, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of that ruling. On March 3, 2025, the plaintiffs filed their appellate brief regarding the MDL judge&#8217;s dismissal of their claims under Chapter 150, and the TDUs&#8217; response brief was filed on May 23, 2025. Plaintiffs filed their reply brief on July 14, 2025. On January 8, 2025, the MDL Court denied class certification in the putative class action. Following issuance of the order denying class certification, a new lawsuit was filed on behalf of approximately 140 plaintiffs in Harris County District Court against hundreds of defendants, including CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric, and that case was transferred to the MDL on January 23, 2025. In addition, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of the denial of class certification on January 27, 2025, but dismissed that appeal on April 28, 2025. The cases remain stayed pending the MDL Court&#8217;s implementation of the findings in the Court of Appeals for the Fourteenth District of Texas and Supreme Court of Texas mandamus decisions. CenterPoint Energy, Utility Holding, and Houston Electric intend to vigorously defend themselves against the claims raised.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric have also responded to inquiries from the Texas Attorney General and the Galveston County District Attorney&#8217;s Office, and various other regulatory and governmental entities also conducted inquiries, investigations and other reviews of the February 2021 Winter Storm Event and the efforts made by various entities to prepare for, and respond to, the event, including the electric generation shortfall issues.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In February 2023, twelve lawsuits were filed in state district court in Harris County and Tom Green County, Texas, against dozens of gas market participants in Texas, including natural gas producers, processors, pipelines, marketers, sellers, traders, gas utilities, and financial institutions. Plaintiffs named CERC as a defendant, along with &#8220;CenterPoint Energy Services, Inc.,&#8221; incorrectly identifying it as CERC&#8217;s parent company (CenterPoint Energy previously divested CenterPoint Energy Services, Inc.). One lawsuit filed in Harris County is a putative class action on behalf of two classes of electric and natural gas customers (those who experienced a loss of electricity and/or natural gas, and those who were charged securitization-related surcharges on a utility bill or were otherwise charged higher rates for electricity and/or gas during the February 2021 Winter Storm Event), potentially including millions of class members. Two other lawsuits (one filed in Harris County and one in Tom Green County) were brought by an entity that purports to be an assignee of the claims of tens of thousands of persons and entities. These, and nine other similar lawsuits filed in Harris County, generally allege that the defendants engaged in gas market manipulation and price gouging, including by intentionally withholding, suppressing, or diverting supplies of natural gas in connection with the February 2021 Winter Storm Event, Winter Storm Elliott, and other severe weather conditions, and through financial market manipulation. Plaintiffs allege that this manipulation impacted gas supply and prices as well as the market, supply, and price of electricity in Texas and caused blackouts and other damage. Plaintiffs assert claims for tortious interference with existing contract, private nuisance, and unjust enrichment, and allege a broad array of injuries and damages, including personal injury, property damage, and harm from certain costs being securitized and passed on to ratepayers. The lawsuits do not specify the amount of damages sought, but seek broad categories of actual, compensatory, statutory, consequential, economic, and punitive damages; restitution and disgorgement; pre- and post-judgment interest; costs and attorneys&#8217; fees; and other relief. All twelve lawsuits have been tagged for transfer to the existing MDL proceeding referenced above, but only three of the cases have been served against the defendants, including CERC. These gas market cases are in addition to the 220 cases noted above regarding electric market issues.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">On February 2, 2024, CERC filed pleas to the jurisdiction in the three cases in which it was served; CERC also partially joined the other defendants&#8217; motions to dismiss and additional pleas to the jurisdiction. On April 2, 2024, plaintiffs in the three served cases filed amended petitions rather than responding to pleas to the jurisdiction and motions to dismiss. Among other changes, plaintiffs in these three cases dismissed CenterPoint Energy Services, Inc., but maintained the same three causes of action as to the remaining defendants. CERC has vigorously defended itself against the claims raised, including filing updated pleas to the jurisdiction on May 17, 2024 in response to plaintiffs&#8217; amended petitions and intends to continue to do so. On August 12, 2024, plaintiffs in the putative class action filed a motion for leave to amend to add additional plaintiffs/class representatives. Defendants opposed this motion on September 20, 2024.  On September 23, 2024, the MDL judge heard oral </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">argument on CERC&#8217;s plea to the jurisdiction and defendants&#8217; motions to dismiss and other pleas to the jurisdiction. On November 7, 2024 and November 11, 2024, the MDL judge granted defendants&#8217; motion to dismiss and CERC&#8217;s plea to the jurisdiction in all three cases. As a result of these rulings, all claims against CERC were dismissed with prejudice. Plaintiffs have appealed these rulings, and the appeals have been assigned to the Court of Appeals for the First District of Texas. On December 4, 2024, the MDL judge denied as moot a plaintiff&#8217;s motion for leave to amend to add additional plaintiffs/class representatives in the putative class action case. On January 17, 2025, the plaintiffs in the putative class action case filed an unopposed motion to dismiss their appeal, which the Court of Appeals granted on February 4, 2025.

Brown generating stations.&#160;Pursuant to the CCR Rule, both the Culley East and A.B. Brown facilities were taken out of service in a timely manner per the commitments made to the EPA in the extension requests filed for both ponds. On April 24, 2019, Indiana Electric received an order from the IURC approving recovery in rates of costs associated with the closure of the Culley West pond, which has already completed closure activities. On August 14, 2019, Indiana Electric filed its petition with the IURC for recovery of costs associated with the closure of the A.B. Brown ash pond, which would include costs associated with the excavation and recycling of ponded ash. This petition was subsequently approved by the IURC on May 13, 2020. On October 28, 2020, the IURC approved Indiana Electric&#8217;s ECA proceeding, which included the initiation of recovery of the federally mandated project costs.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">&#160;On November 1, 2022, Indiana Electric filed for a CPCN to recover federally mandated costs associated with closure of the Culley East Pond, its third and final ash pond.

Brown and F.B. Culley. This estimate is subject to change due to the contractual arrangements; continued assessments of the ash, closure methods, and the timing of closure; implications of Indiana Electric&#8217;s generation transition plan; changing environmental regulations; and proceeds received from the settlements in previously settled insurance proceedings.&#160;In addition to these AROs, Indiana Electric also anticipates equipment purchases of between $60 million and $80 million to complete the A.B.

The CCR Legacy Rule requires companies to investigate previously closed impoundments that were used historically for ash disposal or locations which have had ash placed on them in amounts set forth in the CCR Legacy Rule. The Registrants have completed their preliminary review of potential sites that will require further investigation under the CCR Legacy Rule and identified certain sites in Indiana for further evaluation. During 2024, Indiana Electric recorded an approximate $11&#160;million ARO with a corresponding increase of $11&#160;million to Property, plant and equipment for amounts recoverable for electric generation stations that are currently in service. These estimates reflect the discounted value of future estimated capping costs for an area of historic ash placement at F.B. Culley. Indiana Electric will continue to refine the assumptions, engineering analyses and resulting cost estimates associated with this ARO and such refinement could materially impact the amount of the estimated ARO.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Clean Water Act Permitting of Groundwater and Power Plant Discharges</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">.

In May 2025, CenterPoint Energy entered into a forward sale agreement with an ATM Forward Purchaser relating to 521,962 shares of Common Stock at an initial forward price of $37.49 per share.

On a settlement date or dates, if CenterPoint Energy elects to physically settle the forward sale agreements, CenterPoint Energy will issue shares of Common Stock to the counterparties at the then-applicable forward sale price.

If the overnight bank funding rate is less than or more than the spread on any day, the interest rate factor will result in a reduction or an increase, respectively, of the forward sale price.As initial pricing terms were based on market prices for Common Stock, no amounts were recorded at the execution of the forward sale agreements.

Such costs are capitalized if they meet both of the following criteria: a.

Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs. If the revenue will be provided through an automatic rate-adjustment clause, this criterion requires that the regulator's intent clearly be to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost.</p></div>

The purchase price for the Louisiana and Mississippi natural gas LDC businesses was $1.2&#160;billion, subject to adjustment as set forth in the LAMS Asset Purchase Agreement, including adjustments based on net working capital, regulatory assets and liabilities and capital expenditures at closing. The transaction closed on March 31, 2025. As of the closing date, the businesses included approximately 12,000 miles of main pipeline in Louisiana and Mississippi serving approximately 380,000 customers. Prior to the sale, the Louisiana and Mississippi natural gas LDC businesses were reflected in CenterPoint Energy&#x2019;s Natural Gas reportable segment and CERC&#x2019;s single reportable segment, as applicable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The sale was considered an asset sale for tax purposes, requiring net deferred tax liabilities to be excluded from held for sale balances. The deferred taxes associated with the businesses were recognized as a deferred income tax benefit by CenterPoint Energy and CERC upon closing of the sale in 2025.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Although the Louisiana and Mississippi natural gas LDC businesses met the held for sale criteria as of December 31, 2024, their disposals did not represent a strategic shift for CenterPoint Energy or CERC, as both retain significant operations in, and continue to invest in, their natural gas businesses. Therefore, the assets and liabilities, as well as the related income and expenses, associated with these transactions were not reflected as discontinued operations on CenterPoint Energy&#x2019;s or CERC&#x2019;s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Statements of Consolidated Income, as applicable. Since the depreciation on the Louisiana and Mississippi natural gas LDC businesses&#x2019; assets continued to be reflected in revenues through customer rates until the closing of the transaction and was then reflected in the carryover basis of the rate-regulated assets after the sale, CenterPoint Energy and CERC continued to record depreciation on those assets through the closing of the transaction. The Registrants recorded assets and liabilities held for sale at the lower of their carrying value or their estimated fair value less cost to sell.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;CenterPoint Energy and CERC recognized a loss of $43 million and a gain of $52 million, respectively, net of transaction costs of $21 million, in connection with the closing of the disposition of the Louisiana and Mississippi natural gas LDC businesses during the six months ended June&#160;30, 2025. Goodwill of $217&#160;million and $122&#160;million was allocated to the Louisiana and Mississippi natural gas LDC businesses by CenterPoint Energy and CERC, respectively, at the time the held for sale criteria was met and such amount was subsequently derecognized following the completion of the sale on March 31, 2025. As of June&#160;30, 2025, CenterPoint Energy and CERC had a receivable of $12&#160;million for working capital and other customary adjustments set forth in the LAMS Asset Purchase Agreement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;As a result of the sale of the Louisiana and Mississippi natural gas LDC businesses, there were no assets or liabilities classified as held for sale as of June&#160;30, 2025.

Subject to the conditions in the Transition Services Agreement, the LAMS Buyers may terminate these support services with 60 days prior written notice.

The purchase represents an asset acquisition. The lease obligations related to Posey Solar were approximately $35&#160;million at the time of acquisition. The purchase was subject to terms and conditions in an order approved by the IURC on September 6, 2023, allowing Indiana Electric to recover project costs, net of PTCs, in rate base rather than a levelized rate, through base rates or the CECA mechanism, depending on which provides more timely recovery. Posey Solar was placed into service on May 30, 2025. Indiana Electric began recovering on the asset through updated base rates on June 17, 2025. On February 3, 2025, the IURC approved Indiana Electric&#x2019;s request to convey PTCs to customers through the new tax adjustment rider.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:DisposalGroupsIncludingDiscontinuedOperationsDisclosureTextBlock>

that resulted in prolonged freezing temperatures, which impacted their businesses. The February 2021 Winter Storm Event impacted wholesale prices of CenterPoint Energy&#x2019;s and CERC&#x2019;s natural gas purchases and their ability to serve customers in their Natural Gas service territories, including due to the reduction in available natural gas capacity and impacts to CenterPoint Energy&#x2019;s and CERC&#x2019;s natural gas supply portfolio activities, and the effects of weather on their systems and their ability to transport natural gas, among other things. The overall natural gas market, including the markets from which CenterPoint Energy and CERC sourced a significant portion of their natural gas for their operations, experienced significant impacts caused by the February 2021 Winter Storm Event, resulting in extraordinary increases in the cost of natural gas purchased by CenterPoint Energy and CERC of approximately $2&#160;billion. CenterPoint Energy and CERC have completed recovery of natural gas costs in Mississippi, Indiana, Louisiana and Texas, and continue to recover the natural gas cost in Minnesota. As of June&#160;30, 2025, CenterPoint Energy and CERC had each recorded current regulatory assets of $67&#160;million and non-current regulatory assets of $30&#160;million associated with the February 2021 Winter Storm Event. As of December&#160;31, 2024, CenterPoint Energy and CERC had each recorded current regulatory assets of $67&#160;million and non-current regulatory assets of $67&#160;million associated with the February 2021 Winter Storm Event.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;As of June&#160;30, 2025 and December&#160;31, 2024, as authorized by the PUCT, each of CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric had recorded a regulatory asset of $8&#160;million for bad debt expenses resulting from REPs&#x2019; default on their obligation to pay delivery charges to Houston Electric net of collateral. Additionally, each of CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric had recorded a regulatory asset of $19&#160;million and $19&#160;million as of June&#160;30, 2025 and December&#160;31, 2024, respectively, for reimbursement of costs associated with the February 2021 Winter Storm Event that are being amortized over five years beginning April 28, 2025, which is the date that rates became effective following the PUCT&#x2019;s final order in the Houston Electric rate case.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;See Note 11(d) for further information regarding litigation related to the February 2021 Winter Storm Event.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Texas Public Securitization&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Texas Natural Gas Securitization Finance Corporation issued customer rate relief bonds in March 2023, and on March 23, 2023, CenterPoint Energy and CERC, collectively, received approximately $1.1&#160;billion in cash proceeds from the issuance and sale of the state&#x2019;s customer rate relief bonds. As CenterPoint Energy and CERC have no future financial obligations for the repayment of the state&#x2019;s customer rate relief bonds, the customer rate relief bonds are not recorded on CenterPoint Energy&#x2019;s or CERC&#x2019;s balance sheets. The $1.1&#160;billion in cash proceeds from the state&#x2019;s customer rate relief bonds is considered to be a government grant. The state&#x2019;s customer rate relief bonds are backed in part by customer rate relief property, including customer rate relief charges, which are non-bypassable uniform monthly volumetric charges to be paid by all existing and future sales customers as a component of each regulated utility&#x2019;s gas cost, separate from their base rate. CERC only acts as a collection agent, whose duties include management, servicing and administration of a portion of the customer rate relief property which is associated with the customer rate relief charge imposed on customers of CERC under the guidance and direction from the Railroad Commission. The Texas Natural Gas Securitization Finance Corporation, and not CenterPoint Energy or CERC, is the owner of the customer rate relief property. The assets of the Texas Natural Gas Securitization Finance Corporation are not available to pay creditors of CenterPoint Energy, CERC, or their affiliates. While the customer rate relief charges will be included by CERC in their monthly billings, the billing amount is established by the Railroad Commission. CERC will remit all customer rate relief charges collected to the financing entity set up by the Railroad Commission. Therefore, the collection and servicing of customer rate relief charges have no impact on the respective Condensed Statements of Consolidated Income of CenterPoint Energy or CERC.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:9pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Indiana Electric Securitization of Generation Retirements (CenterPoint Energy)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:9pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;On January 4, 2023, the IURC issued an order in accordance with Indiana Senate Enrolled Act 386 authorizing the issuance of up to $350&#160;million in securitization bonds to securitize qualified costs associated with the retirements of Indiana Electric&#x2019;s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;A.B.

Houston Electric defers costs associated with the short-term and long-term leases that are probable of recovery and would otherwise be charged to expense in a regulatory asset, including allowed debt returns, and determined that such regulatory assets remain probable of recovery as of June&#160;30, 2025. Expenses associated with the short-term lease, including carrying costs, were deferred in a regulatory asset as a recoverable cost under the 2021 Texas legislation and totaled $84&#160;million and $89&#160;million as of June&#160;30, 2025 and December&#160;31, 2024, respectively. Expenses associated with the long-term lease, including variable costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the TEEEF, depreciation expense on the right of use asset and carrying costs, are deferred in a regulatory asset as a recoverable cost under the 2021 Texas legislation and totaled $156&#160;million and $158&#160;million as of June&#160;30, 2025 and December&#160;31, 2024, respectively.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Right of use finance lease assets, such as assets acquired under the long-term leases, are evaluated for impairment under the long-lived asset impairment model by assessing if a capital disallowance from a regulator is probable through monitoring the outcome of rate cases and other proceedings.

The long-term lease agreement includes up to 505 MW of TEEEF, all of which was delivered as of December 31, 2022, triggering lease commencement at delivery, with an initial term ending in 2029 for all TEEEF leases. The remaining finance lease liability associated with the commenced long-term TEEEF agreement was not significant as of June&#160;30, 2025 and December&#160;31, 2024 and relates to removal costs that will be incurred at the end of the lease term. As of June&#160;30, 2025, Houston Electric had secured a first lien on the assets leased under the prepayment agreement, except for assets with lease payments totaling $71&#160;million, which is being held in an escrow account, not controlled by Houston Electric, and the funds will be released either pro rata each month or when a first lien can be secured by Houston Electric on such assets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;On September 11, 2024, the TCA filed a complaint with the PUCT requesting that the PUCT modify its rulings with respect to its prior decisions related to the TEEEF filings made in 2022 and 2023. Specifically, the TCA requested that the PUCT end cost recovery and return on investment on all the large up to 32 MW and 5 MW TEEEF units approved in Docket 53442. On October 2, 2024, Houston Electric filed a response to the TCA complaint and requested that the complaint be dismissed due to the principles of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;res judicata&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; and collateral estoppel. On October 8, 2024, the TCA supplemented its complaint and on October 9, 2024, PUCT staff filed a statement of position stating that Houston Electric&#x2019;s response provided a strong argument for dismissal of the complaint, but also stating that it would be prudent to have a thorough legal argument from the TCA. On October 10, 2024, the PUCT issued Order No. 2 finding the TCA complaint insufficient and requiring supplemental information or amendment from the TCA by October 24, 2024; the TCA filed supplemental information on October 24, 2024. On November 14, 2024, the PUCT issued Order No. 4 denying the motion to reconsider and extending a deadline. On December 16, 2024, the PUCT issued Order No. 5 granting waiver of the requirement for informal disposition and soliciting PUCT staff recommendation by January 16, 2025. On January 16, 2025, the PUCT staff filed a supplemental recommendation recommending that the TCA had not met its requirement to first present its complaint to the City of Houston prior to presenting it to the PUCT. On February 26, 2025, the TCA filed its complaint with the City of Houston. On April 1, 2025, the TCA filed the response from the City of Houston dated March 12, 2025, which stated the matter is closed and the City of Houston does not have the authority to re-visit these dockets. The City of Houston also stated that the TCA may appeal to the PUCT and then district court. On April 29, 2025, the PUCT staff filed a supplemental statement of position and motion to dismiss the TCA&#x2019;s complaint due to lack of jurisdiction. On May 19, 2025, the PUCT issued Order No. 8 lifting the abatement and requiring parties to file responses indicating whether they wish to proceed with or without a hearing. In response to Order No. 8, Houston Electric and the PUCT staff filed responses on June 20, 2025, supporting the dismissal of the TCA&#x2019;s complaint without a hearing. The TCA also filed a response on June 20, 2025, to request that the parties be allowed to delay responding to the request for a hearing in this docket until a final settlement is made in Docket 57980 (Houston Electric&#x2019;s application to remove the 15 large 27 MW to 32 MW TEEEF units from its TEEEF fleet) or, if the request for delay is not granted, to request that the hearing in this docket be scheduled after the settlement of Docket 57980. On June 29, 2025, Order No. 9 was issued, granting the TCA&#x2019;s request to abate this complaint case until a final order is issued in Docket 57980.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;On December 19, 2024, Houston Electric announced a proposal to release its 15 large 27 MW to 32 MW TEEEF units to the San Antonio area prior to the summer of 2025. The proposal was intended to help ERCOT address a potential energy &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;shortfall and Load Shed risk and to provide additional electric generation capacity to support growing energy demand in the greater San Antonio region. On April 18, 2025, a proposal was filed with the PUCT (Docket 57980), seeking approval of the aforementioned release to ERCOT, a corresponding reduction to TEEEF fleet capacity and a rate reduction to reflect the removal of the 15 large TEEEF units from Houston Electric&#x2019;s TEEEF fleet. On June 4, 2025, Houston Electric entered into definitive documentation, subject to PUCT approval, to release the 15 large 27 MW to 32 MW TEEEF units to the San Antonio area for a period of up to two years, during which time Houston Electric will not receive revenue or profit from ERCOT and will not charge Houston-area customers for such TEEEF units while they remain in the San Antonio area serving ERCOT. Following the completion of service in the San Antonio area, Houston Electric anticipates that it would receive revenues from one or more future transactions involving various sizes of the TEEEF units, and therefore plans to continue to not charge customers for these units for any future periods. On June 5, 2025, all of the intervenors submitted a joint request for hearing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;On July 9, 2025, PUCT referred this docket to the SOAH. The PUCT issued a preliminary order on July 10, 2025, listing the issues to be addressed. SOAH Order No. 1 required parties to confer and submit a proposed procedural schedule or request a prehearing conference by July 25, 2025.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Following the passage of legislation in 2023 that allows for wider uses for TEEEF, Houston Electric entered into a lease with Energy Rental Solutions (&#x201c;ERS&#x201d;) to add smaller 200-kilowatt to one MW TEEEF units to its existing TEEEF fleet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In response to both the May 2024 Storm Events and Hurricane Beryl, Houston Electric extended its lease with ERS and secured additional small TEEEF units under the ERS lease terms; the primary purpose of the smaller TEEEF units is to provide temporary electric service to medical facilities, cooling centers, assisted living facilities and critical care customers that are impacted by extended weather-related outages. Houston Electric&#x2019;s lease with ERS expired on March 31, 2025, after the PUCT adopted the TEEEF Rule, which went into effect on January 8, 2025 and refined the scope of TEEEF filings that can be made pursuant to applicable Texas regulations. Among other things, the TEEEF Rule has specific provisions relating to when and how utilities must request PUCT authorization to lease TEEEF units, and it generally requires a utility to obtain preapproval prior to renewing or entering into a new lease of TEEEF units. Houston Electric believes that it continues to need small TEEEF units, and on May 27, 2025, Houston Electric filed an application pursuant to the TEEEF Rule requesting preapproval to enter into two leases for a combined approximately 20 MW of TEEEF capacity comprised of 36 small TEEEF units, each with a capacity range of 200-kilowatt to 1,250-kilowatt, for respective terms of 36 months. Approval of Houston Electric&#x2019;s request in this filing will have no cost impact on customers at this time because cost determination will occur in a future proceeding.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:9pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;May 2024 Storm Events&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Houston Electric&#x2019;s electric delivery system suffered significant damage as a result of the May 2024 Storm Events. As is common with electric utilities serving coastal regions, the poles, towers, wires, street lights and pole-mounted equipment that comprise Houston Electric&#x2019;s transmission and distribution system are not covered by property insurance. Houston Electric is deferring the related system restoration costs as management believes it is probable that such costs will be recovered through the regulatory process. The ultimate recovery of the costs (or a portion thereof) is expected to be sought through the issuance and sale of non-recourse securitization bonds for distribution-related costs and the TCOS capital mechanism for transmission-related costs. However, neither the amount nor timing of the recovery is certain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;On November 8, 2024, Houston Electric filed an Application for Determination of System Restoration Costs with the PUCT to determine the reasonableness and necessity of approximately $502&#160;million of costs (including estimated case processing expenses and carrying costs) incurred or expected to be incurred to restore service following the May 2024 Storm Events. On March 19, 2025, Houston Electric filed a settlement agreement with the PUCT, under which Houston Electric would be entitled to recover a total of $396 million in distribution-related costs relating to the May 2024 Storm Events, along with carrying costs from the date those costs were incurred until system restoration bonds are issued. The settlement agreement also provided for the recovery of $29&#160;million in transmission-related costs related to the May 2024 Storm Events that will be eligible for recovery through existing mechanisms established to recover transmission costs. Houston Electric agreed to defer $17.5&#160;million of its distribution-related costs to the Hurricane Beryl cost determination proceeding and further agreed to an overall $10&#160;million reduction in costs as part of the settlement agreement. A final order approving the settlement agreement was issued by the PUCT on April 24, 2025. On January 24, 2025, Houston Electric filed a request for a Financing Order for the distribution costs included in the November 8, 2024 Application for Determination of System Restoration Costs. On April 23, 2025, Houston Electric filed a settlement agreement with the PUCT, under which Houston Electric would be entitled to securitize the approved distribution-related costs. A final order approving the settlement agreement was issued by the PUCT on June 5, 2025. The PUCT issued an irrevocable Financing Order on June 5, 2025, which became final and non-appealable on June 20, 2025.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In connection with the securitization of the system restoration costs incurred in connection with the May 2024 Storm Events, on June 20, 2025, Houston Electric and Restoration Bond Company II filed a registration statement on Form SF-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with the SEC registering the public offering and sale of up to $396&#160;million &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;aggregate principal amount of the May 2024 Storm Events System Restoration Bonds.

CenterPoint Energy&#x2019;s Level 2 indexed debt securities derivative is valued using an option model and a discounted cash flow model, which uses projected dividends on the ZENS-Related Securities and a discount rate as observable inputs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs reflect the Registrants&#x2019; judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. The Registrants develop these inputs based on the best information available, including the Registrants&#x2019; own data.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New

Additionally, CenterPoint Energy&#x2019;s ZENS indexed debt securities derivative is stated at fair value and is excluded from the table below.&#160;The fair value of each debt instrument included below is determined by multiplying the principal amount of each debt instrument by a combination of historical trading prices and comparable issue data.

The general mortgage bonds that are held in trust to secure pollution control bonds are not reflected in Houston Electric&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements because of the contingent nature of the obligations.

No first mortgage bonds are outstanding under the M&amp;amp;DOT, and Houston Electric is contractually obligated to not issue any additional first mortgage bonds under the M&amp;amp;DOT and is undertaking actions to release the lien of the M&amp;amp;DOT and terminate the M&amp;amp;DOT.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;As of June&#160;30, 2025, SIGECO had approximately $1.1&#160;billion aggregate principal amount of first mortgage bonds outstanding.

The AMAs have varying terms, the longest of which expires in 2029. Pursuant to the provisions of the agreements, CenterPoint Energy&#x2019;s and CERC&#x2019;s Natural Gas businesses either sell natural gas to the asset manager and agree to repurchase an equivalent amount of natural gas throughout the year at the same cost, or simply purchase their full natural gas requirements at each delivery point from the asset manager. Generally, AMAs are contracts between CenterPoint Energy&#x2019;s and CERC&#x2019;s Natural Gas businesses and an asset manager that are intended to transfer the working capital obligation and maximize the utilization of the assets. In these agreements, CenterPoint Energy&#x2019;s and CERC&#x2019;s Natural Gas businesses agree to release transportation and storage capacity to other parties to manage natural gas storage, supply and delivery arrangements for CenterPoint Energy&#x2019;s and CERC&#x2019;s Natural Gas businesses and to use the released capacity for other purposes when it is not needed for CenterPoint Energy&#x2019;s and CERC&#x2019;s Natural Gas businesses. CenterPoint Energy&#x2019;s and CERC&#x2019;s Natural Gas businesses may receive compensation from the asset manager through payments made over the life of the AMAs. CenterPoint Energy&#x2019;s and CERC&#x2019;s Natural Gas businesses have an obligation to purchase their winter storage requirements that have been released to the asset manager under these AMAs. Amounts outstanding under these AMAs &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;as of June&#160;30, 2025 and December&#160;31, 2024 were not material.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;(c) Guarantees (CenterPoint Energy)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;CenterPoint Energy recognizes guarantee obligations at fair value. CenterPoint Energy discloses parent company guarantees of a subsidiary&#x2019;s obligation when that guarantee results in the exposure of a material obligation of the parent company even if the probability of fulfilling such obligation is considered remote.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;On May 21, 2023, CenterPoint Energy, through Vectren Energy Services, entered into the Equity Purchase Agreement to sell Energy Systems Group. The sale closed on June 30, 2023.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In the normal course of business prior to the consummation of the transaction on June 30, 2023, CenterPoint Energy, primarily through Vectren, issued parent company level guarantees supporting &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#221f1f;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Energy Systems Group&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;&#x2019;s obligations. When Energy Systems Group was wholly-owned by CenterPoint Energy, these guarantees did not represent incremental consolidated obligations, but rather, these guarantees represented guarantees of Energy Systems Group&#x2019;s obligations to allow it to conduct business without posting other forms of assurance. For those obligations where potential exposure can be estimated, management estimated the maximum exposure under these guarantees to be approximately $457&#160;million as of June&#160;30, 2025 and expects the exposure to decrease pro rata.&#160;This exposure primarily relates to energy savings guarantees on federal energy savings performance contracts.&#160;Other parent company level guarantees, certain of which do not contain a cap on potential liability, were issued prior to the sale of Energy Systems Group in support of federal operations and maintenance projects for which a maximum exposure cannot be estimated based on the nature of the projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Under the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement, ESG Holdings Group must generally use reasonable best efforts to replace existing CenterPoint Energy guarantees with credit support provided by a party other than CenterPoint Energy as of and after the closing of the transaction. The Equity Purchase Agreement also requires certain protections to be provided for any damages incurred by CenterPoint Energy in relation to these guarantees not released by closing. No additional guarantees were provided by CenterPoint Energy in favor of Energy Systems Group subsequent to the closing of the sale on June 30, 2023.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;While there can be no assurance that performance under any of these parent company guarantees will not be required in the future, CenterPoint Energy considers the likelihood of a material amount being incurred to be remote. CenterPoint Energy believes that, from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#221f1f;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Energy Systems Group&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;&#x2019;s inception in 1994 to the closing of the sale of Energy Systems Group on June 30, 2023, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#221f1f;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Energy Systems Group&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; had a history of generally meeting its performance obligations and energy savings guarantees and its installed products operated effectively. CenterPoint Energy recorded no amounts on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June&#160;30, 2025 and December&#160;31, 2024 related to its obligation under the outstanding guarantees.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;(d) Legal, Environmental and Other Matters&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:9pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Legal Matters&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Litigation Related to Hurricane Beryl.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; Various federal, state and local governmental and regulatory agencies and other entities, such as the Texas Governor&#x2019;s office, the Texas legislature and the PUCT, have called for or are conducting inquiries and investigations into Hurricane Beryl, the efforts made by Houston Electric to prepare for, and respond to, this event, including the electric service outage issues, and the procurement of TEEEF. Moreover, additional governmental and regulatory agencies and other entities may conduct such inquiries and investigations, as well. There are significant uncertainties around these inquiries and investigations and potential results and consequences, including with respect to our recovery of costs incurred as a result of Hurricane Beryl and whether any financial penalties will be assessed or changes to Houston Electric&#x2019;s system, service territories, operations and/or regulatory treatment will result therefrom. Further, on January 22, 2025, a putative shareholder of CenterPoint Energy, Donel Davidson, filed a derivative petition in Harris County District Court, Texas, alleging breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment on behalf of CenterPoint Energy against certain of its current and former directors and officers citing, in part, the topics of these inquiries and investigations. The action seeks to recover damages and other relief from the defendants on behalf of CenterPoint Energy. The action was removed to the Texas Business Courts, and on June 18, 2025, the parties filed an agreed upon stipulation to stay the case, which was approved by the court on June 24, 2025. Additionally, on February 12, 2025, a second putative shareholder of CenterPoint Energy made a demand on the Board to investigate the same basic allegations raised in the derivative petition filed by Donel Davidson.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;CenterPoint Energy, CenterPoint Energy Service Company, LLC and Houston Electric are subject to current and potential future litigation and claims arising out of Hurricane Beryl, which litigation and claims could include allegations of, among other things, personal injury, property damage, various economic losses in connection with loss of power, unlawful business practices, and others. As of June&#160;30, 2025, several putative class actions had been filed against CenterPoint Energy and/or Houston Electric in the District Courts of Harris County, Texas, on behalf of individuals or entities who claim losses due to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;power outages lasting at least 48 hours as a result of Hurricane Beryl, such actions consisting of the following proposed classes: (1) all restaurants in Harris County, Galveston County, and Montgomery County; (2) all residential customers; and (3) all health, wellness, medical and beauty facilities in Harris County. These putative classes assert claims and theories of negligence, gross negligence, nuisance, fraud, and/or violation of Houston Electric&#x2019;s tariff for retail delivery service, and each seeks damages in excess of $100&#160;million for, among other things, business interruption, property damage and loss, cost of repair, loss of use and market value, lost income, nuisance, extreme mental anguish and/or punitive damages. In addition, as of the date of the filing of this combined Form 10-Q, several individual actions had been filed in Harris County District Courts asserting claims of negligence, negligence per se, negligent undertaking and/or gross negligence against CenterPoint Energy, CenterPoint Energy Service Company, LLC and/or Houston Electric. Certain plaintiffs in these actions allege personal injury or property damage from downed power lines and seek damages in excess of $1&#160;million. On June 27, 2025, the MDL panel granted CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric&#x2019;s motion to transfer to a MDL pretrial court, and the pending and any future-filed cases will be transferred to a MDL pretrial court. CenterPoint Energy, CenterPoint Energy Service Company, LLC and Houston Electric intend to vigorously defend themselves against the lawsuits. CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries have general and excess liability insurance policies that provide coverage for third party bodily injury and property damage claims. Given the nature of some allegations, certain insurers have disputed, and more insurers may dispute, coverage for some types of claims or damages that have been or may in the future be alleged by plaintiffs. For example, CenterPoint Energy has received from two insurers denials of indemnity coverage in the putative class actions based on the failure to supply exclusion, and those insurers have also reserved their rights with respect to coverage in those actions. CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric intend to continue to pursue all available insurance coverage for all of these matters. To date, there have not been demands, quantification, disclosure or discovery of damages by any party to any of the above legal matters that are sufficient to enable CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries to estimate exposure. Given that, as well as the preliminary nature of the proceedings, the numerosity of parties and complexity of issues involved, and the uncertainties of litigation, CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries are unable to predict the outcome or consequences of any of the foregoing matters or to estimate a range of potential losses.

Like other Texas energy companies and TDUs, CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric have become involved in certain investigations, litigation and other regulatory and legal proceedings regarding their efforts to restore power during the storm and their compliance with NERC, ERCOT and PUCT rules and directives. Additionally, like other natural gas market participants, CERC has been named in litigation alleging gas market manipulation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;CenterPoint Energy, Utility Holding, and Houston Electric, along with hundreds of other defendants (including ERCOT, power generation companies, other TDUs, natural gas producers, REPs, and other entities) received claims and lawsuits filed by plaintiffs alleging wrongful death, personal injury, property damage and other injuries and damages. As of June&#160;30, 2025, there were approximately 220 pending lawsuits that are consolidated in Texas state court in Harris County, Texas, as part of the MDL proceeding related to the February 2021 Winter Storm Event, and CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric, along with numerous other entities, have been named as defendants in approximately 155 of those lawsuits. One of the lawsuits in the MDL is a putative class action on behalf of everyone who received electric power via the ERCOT grid and sustained a power outage between February 10, 2021 and February 28, 2021. Additionally, Utility Holding is currently named as a defendant in one lawsuit in which CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric are also named as defendants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The judge overseeing the MDL issued an initial case management order and stayed all proceedings and discovery. Per the case management order, the judge entertained dispositive motions in five representative or &#x201c;bellwether&#x201d; cases and, in late January 2023, issued rulings on them. The judge ruled that ERCOT has sovereign immunity as a governmental entity and dismissed the suits against it. In a subsequent opinion in an unrelated matter, the Texas Supreme Court held that ERCOT is entitled to sovereign immunity. This ruling will apply to claims against ERCOT in the MDL. The MDL judge also dismissed all claims against the natural gas defendants (which list of natural gas defendants incorrectly included Utility Holding) and the REP defendants and some causes of action against the other defendants. CenterPoint Energy expects that the claims against Utility Holding will ultimately be dismissed in light of the judge&#x2019;s initial rulings. As to the TDU and generator defendants, the judge dismissed some causes of action but denied the motions to dismiss claims for negligence, gross negligence, and nuisance, which denial the TDU defendants and generator defendants asked the courts of appeals to overturn. On April 2, 2024, a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals for the Fourteenth District of Texas issued an opinion in the TDU mandamus proceeding, granting in part and denying in part the TDUs&#x2019; mandamus request. In its opinion, the panel granted the TDUs&#x2019; mandamus request relating to the TDUs&#x2019; motion to dismiss the plaintiffs&#x2019; claims for (1) negligence, (2) negligent nuisance and (3) strict liability nuisance and ordered those claims be dismissed. The panel denied the TDUs&#x2019; mandamus request relating to the TDUs&#x2019; motion to dismiss the plaintiffs&#x2019; gross negligence and intentional nuisance claims. On May 22, 2024, the TDUs filed a mandamus petition with the Supreme Court of Texas, seeking dismissal of the remaining claims. On June 27, 2025, the Supreme Court of Texas issued its decision and held that plaintiffs&#x2019; pleadings are insufficient as to both their intentional &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;nuisance and gross negligence claims. The court dismissed plaintiffs&#x2019; intentional nuisance claims with prejudice, but concluded that plaintiffs should be given the opportunity to replead their gross negligence claims.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In the generator mandamus proceeding that was pending in the Court of Appeals for the First District of Texas, a three-judge panel granted the generators&#x2019; mandamus request and ordered dismissal of all claims asserted against the generators&#x2019; defendants. The plaintiffs asked the entire First Court of Appeals to rehear the panel&#x2019;s decision. On November 26, 2024, the First Court of Appeals denied that motion. The plaintiffs filed a petition for writ of mandamus with the Supreme Court of Texas on January 31, 2025, and on June 27, 2025, the Supreme Court of Texas requested briefing on the merits in that proceeding.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The MDL judge allowed defendants (including Houston Electric) to file several additional motions on preliminary legal issues. These motions included the TDUs&#x2019; motion to dismiss under Chapter 150 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, which was filed in one of the bellwether cases and argued that all of plaintiffs&#x2019; claims should be dismissed because the plaintiffs did not include a sufficient certificate by a qualified engineer with their petition as required by Texas law, as well as a motion to deny class certification in the putative class action. On November 13, 2024, the MDL Court granted the TDUs&#x2019; motion to dismiss under Chapter 150, and on December 3, 2024, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of that ruling. On March 3, 2025, the plaintiffs filed their appellate brief regarding the MDL judge&#x2019;s dismissal of their claims under Chapter 150, and the TDUs&#x2019; response brief was filed on May 23, 2025. Plaintiffs filed their reply brief on July 14, 2025. On January 8, 2025, the MDL Court denied class certification in the putative class action. Following issuance of the order denying class certification, a new lawsuit was filed on behalf of approximately 140 plaintiffs in Harris County District Court against hundreds of defendants, including CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric, and that case was transferred to the MDL on January 23, 2025. In addition, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of the denial of class certification on January 27, 2025, but dismissed that appeal on April 28, 2025. The cases remain stayed pending the MDL Court&#x2019;s implementation of the findings in the Court of Appeals for the Fourteenth District of Texas and Supreme Court of Texas mandamus decisions. CenterPoint Energy, Utility Holding, and Houston Electric intend to vigorously defend themselves against the claims raised.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric have also responded to inquiries from the Texas Attorney General and the Galveston County District Attorney&#x2019;s Office, and various other regulatory and governmental entities also conducted inquiries, investigations and other reviews of the February 2021 Winter Storm Event and the efforts made by various entities to prepare for, and respond to, the event, including the electric generation shortfall issues.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In February 2023, twelve lawsuits were filed in state district court in Harris County and Tom Green County, Texas, against dozens of gas market participants in Texas, including natural gas producers, processors, pipelines, marketers, sellers, traders, gas utilities, and financial institutions. Plaintiffs named CERC as a defendant, along with &#x201c;CenterPoint Energy Services, Inc.,&#x201d; incorrectly identifying it as CERC&#x2019;s parent company (CenterPoint Energy previously divested CenterPoint Energy Services, Inc.). One lawsuit filed in Harris County is a putative class action on behalf of two classes of electric and natural gas customers (those who experienced a loss of electricity and/or natural gas, and those who were charged securitization-related surcharges on a utility bill or were otherwise charged higher rates for electricity and/or gas during the February 2021 Winter Storm Event), potentially including millions of class members. Two other lawsuits (one filed in Harris County and one in Tom Green County) were brought by an entity that purports to be an assignee of the claims of tens of thousands of persons and entities. These, and nine other similar lawsuits filed in Harris County, generally allege that the defendants engaged in gas market manipulation and price gouging, including by intentionally withholding, suppressing, or diverting supplies of natural gas in connection with the February 2021 Winter Storm Event, Winter Storm Elliott, and other severe weather conditions, and through financial market manipulation. Plaintiffs allege that this manipulation impacted gas supply and prices as well as the market, supply, and price of electricity in Texas and caused blackouts and other damage. Plaintiffs assert claims for tortious interference with existing contract, private nuisance, and unjust enrichment, and allege a broad array of injuries and damages, including personal injury, property damage, and harm from certain costs being securitized and passed on to ratepayers. The lawsuits do not specify the amount of damages sought, but seek broad categories of actual, compensatory, statutory, consequential, economic, and punitive damages; restitution and disgorgement; pre- and post-judgment interest; costs and attorneys&#x2019; fees; and other relief. All twelve lawsuits have been tagged for transfer to the existing MDL proceeding referenced above, but only three of the cases have been served against the defendants, including CERC. These gas market cases are in addition to the 220 cases noted above regarding electric market issues.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;On February 2, 2024, CERC filed pleas to the jurisdiction in the three cases in which it was served; CERC also partially joined the other defendants&#x2019; motions to dismiss and additional pleas to the jurisdiction. On April 2, 2024, plaintiffs in the three served cases filed amended petitions rather than responding to pleas to the jurisdiction and motions to dismiss. Among other changes, plaintiffs in these three cases dismissed CenterPoint Energy Services, Inc., but maintained the same three causes of action as to the remaining defendants. CERC has vigorously defended itself against the claims raised, including filing updated pleas to the jurisdiction on May 17, 2024 in response to plaintiffs&#x2019; amended petitions and intends to continue to do so. On August 12, 2024, plaintiffs in the putative class action filed a motion for leave to amend to add additional plaintiffs/class representatives. Defendants opposed this motion on September 20, 2024.  On September 23, 2024, the MDL judge heard oral &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;argument on CERC&#x2019;s plea to the jurisdiction and defendants&#x2019; motions to dismiss and other pleas to the jurisdiction. On November 7, 2024 and November 11, 2024, the MDL judge granted defendants&#x2019; motion to dismiss and CERC&#x2019;s plea to the jurisdiction in all three cases. As a result of these rulings, all claims against CERC were dismissed with prejudice. Plaintiffs have appealed these rulings, and the appeals have been assigned to the Court of Appeals for the First District of Texas. On December 4, 2024, the MDL judge denied as moot a plaintiff&#x2019;s motion for leave to amend to add additional plaintiffs/class representatives in the putative class action case. On January 17, 2025, the plaintiffs in the putative class action case filed an unopposed motion to dismiss their appeal, which the Court of Appeals granted on February 4, 2025. The parties have now completed their briefing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;To date, there have not been demands, quantification, disclosure or discovery of damages by any party to any of the above legal matters that are sufficient to enable CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries to estimate exposure. Given that, as well as the preliminary nature of the proceedings, the numerosity of parties and complexity of issues involved, and the uncertainties of litigation, CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries are unable to predict the outcome or consequences of any of the foregoing matters or to estimate a range of potential losses. CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries have general and excess liability insurance policies that provide coverage for third party bodily injury and property damage claims. As CenterPoint Energy previously noted, given the nature of certain of the plaintiffs&#x2019; allegations, insurance coverage may not be available other than for third party bodily injury and property damage claims caused by an accident, and one of CenterPoint Energy&#x2019;s insurers has reserved its rights with respect to coverage for plaintiffs&#x2019; intentional nuisance claims as well as plaintiffs&#x2019; claims in the gas market cases. CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries intend to continue to pursue all available insurance coverage for all of these matters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Jefferson Parish&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;. Several parishes and the State of Louisiana filed 42 suits under Louisiana&#x2019;s State and Local Coastal Resources Management Act against hundreds of oil and gas companies seeking compensatory damages for contamination and erosion of the Louisiana coastline allegedly caused by historical oil and gas operations. One of the defendants in one of the lawsuits (filed in 2013 only by the Parish of Jefferson) is Primary Fuels, Inc., a predecessor company of CenterPoint Energy, which operated in Louisiana from 1983-1989. All 42 suits were removed to Louisiana federal courts twice and were stayed for several years pending the district courts&#x2019; consideration of various motions to remand and multiple appeals of remand orders. Several cases involving other parishes that had been remanded to Louisiana state court have begun to resume proceedings in state court. To date, two of the 42 suits have substantially progressed in state court. The first case, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Cameron Parish v.

The second case, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Plaquemines Parish v.

Before final judgment was entered, the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; Rozel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; case was stayed until the United States Supreme Court rules on the merits of a jurisdictional issue in a related case that does not include Primary Fuels, Inc. As of June&#160;30, 2025, the federal district court had not ruled on Jefferson Parish&#x2019;s motion to remand to state court the lawsuit which includes Primary Fuels, Inc. among the defendants. The timing of further progress in the Jefferson Parish case is uncertain and dependent in part on the court&#x2019;s ruling on the motion to remand and further developments in other related Chevron Corporation cases.&#x202f;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Because of the procedurally preliminary nature of the proceedings in the case in which Primary Fuels, Inc. is a defendant, lack of information about both the scope of and damages for Jefferson Parish&#x2019;s claim against Primary Fuels, Inc., the numerosity of parties and complexity of issues involved, and the uncertainties of litigation, CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries are unable to predict the outcome or consequences of this matter or to estimate a range of potential losses. CenterPoint Energy intends to continue to vigorously defend itself against the claims raised and pursue any and all available insurance coverage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:9pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Environmental Matters&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:9pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;MGP Sites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; CenterPoint Energy, CERC and their predecessors, including predecessors of Vectren, operated MGPs in the past. The costs CenterPoint Energy or CERC, as applicable, expect to incur to fulfill their respective obligations are estimated by management using assumptions based on actual costs incurred, the timing of expected future payments and inflation factors, among others. While CenterPoint Energy and CERC have recorded obligations for all costs which are probable and estimable, including amounts they are presently obligated to incur in connection with activities at these sites, it is possible that future events may require remedial activities which are not presently foreseen, and those costs may not be subject to PRP or insurance recovery.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;(i)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:8.57pt"&gt;Minnesota MGPs (CenterPoint Energy and CERC)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;. With respect to certain Minnesota MGP sites, CenterPoint Energy and CERC have completed state-ordered remediation and continue state-ordered monitoring and water treatment. CenterPoint Energy and CERC recorded a liability as reflected in the table below for continued monitoring and any future remediation required by regulators in Minnesota.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;(ii)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:5.8pt"&gt;Indiana MGPs (CenterPoint Energy and CERC)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;. In the Indiana Gas service territory, the existence, location and certain general characteristics of 26 gas manufacturing and storage sites have been identified for which CenterPoint Energy and CERC may have some remedial responsibility. A remedial investigation/feasibility study was completed at one of the sites under an agreed upon order between Indiana Gas and the IDEM, and a Record of Decision was issued by the IDEM in January 2000. The remaining sites have been submitted to the IDEM&#x2019;s VRP. CenterPoint Energy has also identified its involvement in five manufactured gas plant sites in SIGECO&#x2019;s service territory, all of which are currently enrolled in the IDEM&#x2019;s VRP. CenterPoint Energy is currently conducting some level of remedial activities, including groundwater monitoring at certain sites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;(iii)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:3.03pt"&gt;Other MGPs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;(CenterPoint Energy and CERC).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; In addition to the Minnesota and Indiana sites, the EPA and other regulators have investigated MGP sites that were owned or operated by CenterPoint Energy or CERC or may have been owned by one of their former affiliates.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Total costs that may be incurred in connection with addressing these sites cannot be determined at this time. The estimated accrued costs are limited to CenterPoint Energy&#x2019;s and CERC&#x2019;s share of the remediation efforts and are therefore net of exposures of other PRPs. The estimated range of possible remediation costs for the sites for which CenterPoint Energy and CERC believe they may have responsibility was based on remediation continuing for the minimum time

The final rule allows beneficial reuse of ash, and a portion of the ash generated by Indiana Electric&#x2019;s generating plants will continue to be reused.&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Indiana Electric has three ash ponds, two at the F.B. Culley facility (Culley East and Culley West) and one at the A.B. Brown facility. Under the CCR Rule, Indiana Electric is required to perform integrity assessments, including ground water monitoring, at its F.B. Culley and A.B. Brown generating stations.&#160;Pursuant to the CCR Rule, both the Culley East and A.B. Brown facilities were taken out of service in a timely manner per the commitments made to the EPA in the extension requests filed for both ponds. On April 24, 2019, Indiana Electric received an order from the IURC approving recovery in rates of costs associated with the closure of the Culley West pond, which has already completed closure activities. On August 14, 2019, Indiana Electric filed its petition with the IURC for recovery of costs associated with the closure of the A.B. Brown ash pond, which would include costs associated with the excavation and recycling of ponded ash. This petition was subsequently approved by the IURC on May 13, 2020. On October 28, 2020, the IURC approved Indiana Electric&#x2019;s ECA proceeding, which included the initiation of recovery of the federally mandated project costs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;&#160;On November 1, 2022, Indiana Electric filed for a CPCN to recover federally mandated costs associated with closure of the Culley East Pond, its third and final ash pond. Indiana Electric sought accounting and ratemaking relief for the project, and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;on June 8, 2023, Indiana Electric filed a revised CPCN for recovery of the federally mandated ash pond costs. On February 7, 2024 the IURC approved the federally mandated costs, both incurred and projected, of $52&#160;million in capital costs, plus an estimated $133,000 in annual operation and maintenance expenses, for recovery through the ECA. Following approval of its most recent rate case, this project is now being recovered through base rates.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;As of June&#160;30, 2025, CenterPoint Energy had recorded an approximate $132 million ARO, which represents the discounted value of future cash flow estimates to close the ponds at A.B. Brown and F.B. Culley. This estimate is subject to change due to the contractual arrangements; continued assessments of the ash, closure methods, and the timing of closure; implications of Indiana Electric&#x2019;s generation transition plan; changing environmental regulations; and proceeds received from the settlements in previously settled insurance proceedings.&#160;In addition to these AROs, Indiana Electric also anticipates equipment purchases of between $60 million and $80 million to complete the A.B. Brown closure project.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;On April 25, 2024, the EPA released its final Hazardous and Solid Waste Management System; Disposal of Coal Combustion Residuals from Electric Utilities; Legacy CCR Surface Impoundments rule (CCR Legacy Rule), which was published in the Federal Register in May 2024. The CCR Legacy Rule requires companies to investigate previously closed impoundments that were used historically for ash disposal or locations which have had ash placed on them in amounts set forth in the CCR Legacy Rule. The Registrants have completed their preliminary review of potential sites that will require further investigation under the CCR Legacy Rule and identified certain sites in Indiana for further evaluation. During 2024, Indiana Electric recorded an approximate $11&#160;million ARO with a corresponding increase of $11&#160;million to Property, plant and equipment for amounts recoverable for electric generation stations that are currently in service. These estimates reflect the discounted value of future estimated capping costs for an area of historic ash placement at F.B. Culley. Indiana Electric will continue to refine the assumptions, engineering analyses and resulting cost estimates associated with this ARO and such refinement could materially impact the amount of the estimated ARO.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Clean Water Act Permitting of Groundwater and Power Plant Discharges&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;. In April 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an opinion providing that indirect discharges via groundwater or other non-point sources are subject to permitting and liability under the Clean Water Act when they are the functional equivalent of a direct discharge. On November 27, 2023, the EPA published draft guidance regarding the application of the &#x201c;functional equivalent&#x201d; analysis as related to permitting of certain discharges through groundwater to surface waters. The Registrants do not currently anticipate impacts from this guidance, but groundwater monitoring continues under the CCR Rule.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In 2015, the EPA finalized revisions to the existing steam electric wastewater discharge standards which set more stringent wastewater discharge limits and effectively prohibited further wet disposal of coal ash in ash ponds. In February 2019, the IURC approved Indiana Electric&#x2019;s Effluent Limitation Guidelines Compliance Plan for its F.B. Culley Generating Station, which was completed in compliance with the requirements of the Effluent Limitation Guidelines. On April 25, 2024, the EPA released its final Supplemental Effluent Limitation Guidelines and Standards for the Steam Electric Generating Point Source Category. The Registrants currently anticipate that they will be in compliance with the Supplemental ELG Guidelines at the Culley facility due to previous wastewater treatment upgrades.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Other Environmental. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;From time to time, the Registrants identify the presence of environmental contaminants during operations or on property where their predecessors have conducted operations.&#160;Other such sites involving contaminants may be identified in the future.&#160;The Registrants have and expect to continue to remediate any identified sites consistent with state and federal legal obligations.&#160;From time to time, the Registrants have received notices, and may receive notices in the future, from regulatory authorities or others regarding status as a PRP in connection with sites found to require remediation due to the presence of environmental contaminants. In addition, the Registrants have been, or may be, named from time to time as defendants in litigation related to such sites.

The dilutive effect of equity forwards is determined under the treasury stock method. Share dilution occurs when the average market price of CenterPoint Energy&#x2019;s Common Stock is higher than the forward sales price at the end of the reporting period. The calculation of dilutive earnings per share excluded 9,676 shares of Common Stock for the three months ended June 30, 2025 under forward sale agreements because their effect would have been antidilutive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

to the offering and sale from time to time of shares of Common Stock, having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $500&#160;million. Sales of Common Stock may be made by any method permitted by applicable law and deemed to be an &#x201c;at the market offering&#x201d; as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The offer and sale of Common Stock under the Equity Distribution Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of (1) the sale of all Common Stock subject to the Equity Distribution Agreement, (2) termination of the Equity Distribution Agreement, or (3) May 17, 2026.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In April 2025, CenterPoint Energy entered into separate forward sale agreements pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement with certain of the ATM Forward Purchasers relating to 3,277,764 shares and 680,902 shares of Common Stock at an initial forward price of $36.29 per share and $36.72 per share, respectively. The gross sales price of these shares totaled approximately $120&#160;million and $25&#160;million, respectively. In connection with these sales, the ATM Forward Sellers were deemed to have received commissions of approximately $1&#160;million and less than $1&#160;million, respectively. In May 2025, CenterPoint Energy entered into a forward sale agreement with an ATM Forward Purchaser relating to 521,962 shares of Common Stock at an initial forward price of $37.49 per share. The gross sales price of these shares totaled approximately $20&#160;million. In connection with these sales, the ATM Forward Seller was deemed to have received a commission of less than $1&#160;million. CenterPoint Energy has not received any proceeds from such sales of borrowed shares. On a settlement date or dates, if CenterPoint Energy elects to physically settle the forward sale agreements, CenterPoint Energy will issue shares of Common Stock to the counterparties at the then-applicable forward sale price. The forward price used to determine amounts due at settlement is calculated based on a floating interest rate factor equal to the overnight bank funding rate less a spread of 75 basis points, and will be subject to decrease on certain dates specified in the forward sale agreements by specified amounts related to expected dividends on the shares of the Common Stock during the term of the forward sale agreements. If the overnight bank funding rate is less than or more than the spread on any day, the interest rate factor will result in a reduction or an increase, respectively, of the forward sale price.As initial pricing terms were based on market prices for Common Stock, no amounts were recorded at the execution of the forward sale agreements. CenterPoint Energy will receive proceeds when settlement occurs and will record the proceeds in equity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The forward sale agreements require CenterPoint Energy to, at its election on or prior to May 14, 2026, either (1) physically settle the transactions by issuing the total of 4,480,628 shares of Common Stock to the counterparties in exchange for cash of approximately $164 million or (2) net settle the transactions in whole or in part through the delivery or receipt of cash or shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to such net settlement provisions, these agreements could have been settled on June 30, 2025 by CenterPoint Energy&#x2019;s delivery of less than $1 million of cash or 20,923 shares of Common Stock to the banking counterparties if CenterPoint Energy unilaterally elected net cash or net share settlement, respectively. As of June&#160;30, 2025, CenterPoint Energy had approximately $85&#160;million of remaining capacity available under the at-the-market program. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;(b) Forward Sale Agreements&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In May 2025, CenterPoint Energy entered into separate forward sale agreements with certain financial institutions relating to an aggregate of 24,864,865 shares of Common Stock at an initial forward price of $36.26 per share.

Each forward sale agreement provides that the initial forward sale price will be subject to adjustment based on a floating interest rate factor equal to the overnight bank funding rate less a spread of 75 basis points, and will be subject to decrease on each of certain dates specified in the relevant forward sale agreement by amounts related to expected dividends on shares of the Common Stock during the term of such forward sale agreement. If the overnight bank funding rate is less than or more than the spread on any day, the interest rate factor will result in a reduction or an increase, respectively of the forward sale price. As initial pricing terms were based on market prices for Common Stock, no amounts were recorded at the execution of the forward sale agreements. CenterPoint Energy will receive proceeds when settlement occurs and will record the proceeds in equity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The forward sale agreements require CenterPoint Energy to, at its election on or prior to February 25, 2027, either (1) physically settle the transactions by issuing the total of 24,864,865 shares of Common Stock to the counterparties in exchange for cash of $904 million or (2) net settle the transactions in whole or in part through the delivery or receipt of cash or shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to such net settlement provisions, these agreements could also have been settled on June 30, 2025 by CenterPoint Energy&#x2019;s delivery of approximately $9 million of cash or 247,705 shares of Common Stock to the banking counterparties if CenterPoint Energy unilaterally elected net cash or net share settlement, respectively.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span
