net income of $265.8 million or $0.97 per share for the first quarter of 2024 compared favorably to $191.4 million or $0.72 per

$265.8 million and earnings per share of $0.97 for the first quarter of 2024, which includes a one-time gain of $91.2 million,
net of transaction-related expenses, or $66.0 million after-tax for the $165 million sale of the three energy projects, compared
to net income of $191.4 million and earnings per share of $0.72 for the same period in 2023. Comparing this quarter&rsquo;s earnings
to those of Q1 2023, increased revenues from regulatory recoveries, regulated water segment customer growth, higher regulated
natural gas segment and water segment volumes, and other items, which includes the gain on sale, were offset by a slight increase
in expenses.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">Revenues for the quarter were $612.1
million compared to $726.5 million in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 15.7%. Lower purchased gas costs and other items
were the primary contributors to the decrease in revenues for the quarter, which were offset by additional revenues from regulatory
recoveries, customer growth from the regulated water segment, and higher regulated natural gas segment and water segment volumes.
Non-weather-impacted commercial and industrial customers&rsquo; gas volumes increased compared to Q1 2023, while warmer weather
significantly impacted residential volumes, resulting in a shortfall relative to normal usage, similar to the impact of unusually
warm weather in Q1 2023. Operations and maintenance expenses decreased to $136.9 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared
to $138.0 million in the first quarter of 2023.</FONT></P>

segment reported revenues for the quarter of $279.9 million, an increase of 4.7% compared to $267.3 million in the first quarter

and maintenance expenses for Essential&rsquo;s regulated water segment increased to $90.7 million for the first quarter of 2024
compared to $82.8 million in the first quarter of 2023, driven partially by favorable impacts last year.</FONT></P>

gas segment reported revenues for the quarter of $324.3 million, compared to $441.3 million in the first quarter of 2023. Due
mainly to lower commodity prices, purchased gas costs were $125.5 million for the quarter as compared to $241.9 million for the
same quarter in 2023. As a result, the recovery of lower purchased gas costs was the largest driver in the decrease of revenues.
Operations and maintenance expenses for Essential&rsquo;s regulated natural gas segment decreased to $45.9 million for the first
quarter of 2024 compared to $57.2 million in the first quarter of 2023, impacted positively by the sale of the energy projects
and the West Virginia utility assets.</FONT></P>

to invest approximately $7.2 billion to improve water and natural gas systems and better serve customers through improved information
technology. Essential&rsquo;s investments during this five-year period include addressing PFAS with at least $450 million in capital
projects, replacing and expanding its water and wastewater utility infrastructure, and replacing and upgrading its natural gas
utility infrastructure, with the latter leading to significant reductions in methane emissions that occur in aged gas pipes. The
company is a leader in remediating PFAS and will comply with the recently finalized EPA rule. The capital investments made to
