The company includes these measures because management believes they permit investors to view the company&#8217;s performance using the same tools that management uses and to better evaluate the company&#8217;s ongoing business performance. With respect to guidance on adjusted EPS, NiSource reminds investors that it does not provide a GAAP equivalent of its guidance on adjusted EPS due to the impact of unpredictable factors such as fluctuations in weather, impact of asset sales and impairments and other unusual or infrequent items included in the comparable GAAP measures, which may be material. The company is not able to estimate the impact of such factors on the comparable GAAP measures and, as such, the company is not able to provide a reconciliation of its non-GAAP adjusted EPS guidance to the comparable GAAP equivalents without unreasonable efforts. </font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">   </font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;line-height:115%">Additional Information</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Additional information for the quarter ended June&#160;30, 2025, is available on the Investors section of www.nisource.com and includes segment and financial information and a presentation.
