Insights

NiSource's Q2 2024 results show significant improvement, with GAAP net income rising to $85.8 million ($0.19 per share) from $39.9 million ($0.09 per share) in Q2 2023. The non-GAAP adjusted net income also increased to $94.7 million ($0.21 per share) from $50.3 million ($0.11 per share). This 90.9% year-over-year growth in adjusted EPS is impressive.

The company's reaffirmation of its 2024 adjusted EPS guidance of $1.70-1.74 and 6-8% annual adjusted EPS growth for 2023-2028 demonstrates confidence in its long-term strategy. The $16.4 billion capital expenditure plan for 2024-2028 suggests continued investment in growth initiatives. The 8-10% annual rate base growth projection is particularly noteworthy, as it could drive future earnings expansion.

NiSource's performance reflects robust execution of its utility-focused strategy. The successful implementation of capital trackers is crucial, as it allows for timely recovery of infrastructure investments. Progress on renewable project approvals and integrated resource planning underscores the company's commitment to clean energy transition, which is increasingly important in the utility sector.

The Cavalry Solar & Storage project coming online is a significant milestone, enhancing NiSource's renewable energy portfolio. This aligns with industry trends towards cleaner energy sources and could positively impact the company's environmental profile and regulatory relationships. The effective response to the major windstorm in Indiana demonstrates operational resilience, a critical factor for utilities in maintaining customer satisfaction and regulatory goodwill.

MERRILLVILLE, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NiSource Inc. (NYSE: NI) today announced, on a GAAP basis, net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2024, of $85.8 million, or $0.19 of earnings per diluted share, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $39.9 million, or $0.09 of earnings per diluted share, for the same period of 2023.

NiSource also reported second quarter 2024 non-GAAP adjusted net income available to common shareholders of $94.7 million, or $0.21 of adjusted earnings per share ("EPS") compared to non-GAAP adjusted net income available to common shareholders of $50.3 million, or $0.11 of adjusted EPS, for the same period of 2023. Schedule 1 of this press release contains a complete reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures. **

NiSource is reaffirming 2024 adjusted EPS guidance of $1.70-1.74 as well as annual 6-8% adjusted EPS growth and annual 8-10% rate base growth* for the 2023-2028 period. The 2024-2028 base capital expenditure plan is $16.4 billion.

"During the second quarter NiSource placed the Cavalry Solar & Storage project into service and reported strong earnings results, executing our investment plan and delivering consistent shareholder returns,” said NiSource President and CEO, Lloyd Yates. “Implementation of capital trackers as well as progress on renewable project approvals and our integrated resource planning process are continuing evidence of the superior regulatory and stakeholder foundation that make this possible.

I want to thank our employees and contractors for their preparation and around-the-clock response in restoring service to our communities.”

**Non-GAAP Disclosure Statement

Beginning with the first quarter of 2024, NiSource Inc. changed its disclosure of non-GAAP results and guidance for net operating earnings available to common shareholders to adjusted net income available to common shareholders and for net operating EPS to adjusted EPS to better align with the presentation used by many companies to report their non-GAAP results. The change reflects a name change only and the calculations of each of these non-GAAP metrics remains consistent with the historical calculations.

This press release includes financial results and guidance for NiSource with respect to adjusted net income available to common shareholders and adjusted EPS, which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the SEC. The company includes these measures because management believes they permit investors to view the company’s performance using the same tools that management uses and to better evaluate the company’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 net income available to commons shareholders 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. The company is not able to estimate the impact of such factors on the comparable GAAP measures and, as such, is not providing guidance on a GAAP basis. In addition, the company is not able to provide a reconciliation of its non-GAAP adjusted EPS guidance to the comparable GAAP equivalents without unreasonable efforts.

Additional information for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, is available on the Investors section of www.nisource.com, including segment and financial information and a presentation, as well as NiSource’s social media channels.
