Eversource Energy (NYSE: ES) today reported full-year 2025 earnings of $1.69 billion, or $4.56 per share, compared with full-year 2024 earnings of $811.7 million, or $2.27 per share. Non-GAAP recurring earnings totaled $1.77 billion¹¹¹¹¹

Eversource reported fourth quarter 2025 earnings of $421.3 million, or $1.12 per share, compared with fourth quarter 2024 earnings of $72.5 million, or $0.20 per share. Non-GAAP earnings totaled $421.3 million, or $1.12 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $370.8 million¹¹

Results for the full-year 2025 include an aggregate net after-tax loss of $75.0 million, or $0.20 per share, related to an increase in Eversource’s liability for expected future payments to Global Infrastructure Partners as part of the September 30, 2024 sale of the South Fork Wind and Revolution Wind projects, net of tax benefits associated with the tax losses on the sale of these projects. Results for the full-year 2024 include an aggregate net after-tax loss of $524.0 million, or $1.47 per share, related to Eversource completing the sales of its offshore wind investments. Also, in the fourth quarter 2024, the Company recorded an after-tax loss of $298.3 million related to the pending sale of the Aquarion Water Company. The full year 2024 impact of this loss was $0.83 per share, while the fourth quarter 2024 impact was $0.81 per share. These impacts are excluded from non-GAAP recurring earnings.

“In 2025, we executed on our priorities of delivering solid operational and financial results, strengthening our balance sheet, and improving cash flow from operations. We also made significant progress in achieving constructive regulatory outcomes by working collaboratively with our regulators during a time of extensive change at the state and federal levels. This solid execution would not have been possible without our highly dedicated team of nearly 11,000 employees who work expertly and passionately to serve our communities and customers,” said Eversource Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Joe Nolan.

“Looking ahead to 2026, we will continue to focus on energy affordability for our customers, making prudent investments and exercising cost discipline. We'll also continue to adopt innovative technology solutions to improve our delivery of safe, reliable and affordable energy that our customers need and deserve. We are very excited about Eversource’s future as a pure-play regulated utility company with solid growth opportunities,” said Nolan.

Annual Outlook, 5-year Investment Plan and Financing Activity

Eversource Energy's annual projection for 2026 earnings is between $4.80 per share and $4.95 per share. The Company also expects that its cumulative long-term earnings per share growth rate would be within the range of 5 to 7 percent through 2030, using the 2025 non-GAAP results of $4.76 per share¹

Eversource released its new five-year $26.5 billion investment plan for the years 2026 to 2030, which is an increase of $2.3 billion dollars over its previous plan of $24.2 billion and an increase of $1.5 billion for the years 2025 to 2029. Both time periods exclude any capital investments related to Aquarion Water Company. This increase is primarily due to higher electric and natural gas distribution investment. These investments enable Eversource to continue to provide customers with safe and reliable service, support load growth and clean energy objectives for the Eversource territory.

Eversource expects to raise equity in the range of $800 million to $1.1 billion, excluding the annual equity issuances related to its dividend reinvestment and equity compensation programs, over its forecast period of 2026-2030. This equity raise is not impacted by the status of the potential sale of Aquarion.

Electric Transmission

Eversource’s transmission segment earned $776.7 million in 2025, compared with earnings of $724.6 million in 2024. Transmission earnings were $183.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with $184.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Transmission segment results improved due primarily to continued investment in Eversource’s electric transmission system. Fourth quarter results were slightly lower due primarily to the absence of a carrying charge benefit recorded in the prior year.

Electric Distribution

Eversource’s electric distribution segment earned $667.1 million in 2025, compared with earnings of $631.7 million in 2024. Electric distribution earned $95.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with earnings of $110.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Fourth quarter and full year 2025 earnings were negatively impacted by a charge to earnings for customer credits at NSTAR Electric as a result of the joint settlement agreement approved in Massachusetts on December 1, 2025. Improved full-year results were due primarily to higher revenues from base distribution rate increases at Eversource's New Hampshire and Massachusetts electric businesses, and continued investments in our distribution system. The higher revenues were partially offset by higher interest expense, higher non-tracked operations and maintenance expense (O&M), as well as higher property taxes and depreciation.

Natural Gas Distribution

Eversource’s natural gas distribution segment earned $360.5 million in 2025, compared with earnings of $291.0 million in 2024. Natural gas distribution earned $123.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with earnings of $103.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Improved full-year and fourth-quarter results were due primarily to higher revenues from base distribution rate increases at Eversource's Massachusetts natural gas businesses to recover continued investment in our natural gas infrastructure, as well as a base distribution rate increase at Yankee Gas effective November 1, 2025. The higher revenues were partially offset by higher O&M, which included a charge resulting from penalties recorded as part of NSTAR Gas' settlement agreement with the Attorney General in December 2025 and an unfavorable impact from the Yankee Gas rate case decision, higher depreciation, interest and property tax expense.

Water Distribution

Eversource’s water distribution segment, excluding the prior year loss on the pending sale noted above, earned $44.2 million in 2025, compared with earnings of $44.6 million¹¹

Eversource Parent and Other Companies

Eversource parent and other companies, excluding the net losses from offshore wind, lost $(81.1) million¹¹¹

Full year ended:

Eversource Energy has approximately 375 million common shares outstanding and operates New England’s largest energy delivery system. It serves approximately 4.6 million electric, natural gas and water customers in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

All per-share amounts in this news release are reported on a diluted basis. The only common equity securities that¹are publicly traded are common shares of Eversource Energy. The earnings discussion includes financial measuresthat are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) referencing earnings and EPSexcluding losses associated with our previous offshore wind investments, a loss on the pending sale of the Aquarion water distribution business, and a loss on the disposition of land that was initially acquired to construct the Northern Pass Transmission project and was subsequently abandoned. EPS by business is also a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common shareholders of each business by the weighted average diluted Eversource Energy common shares outstanding for the period. The earnings and EPS of each business do not represent a direct legal interest in the assets and liabilities of such business, but rather represent a direct interest in Eversource Energy’s assets and liabilities as a whole. Eversource Energy uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and provide details of earnings results by business and to more fully compare and explain results without including these items. This information is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating performance and planning and forecasting of future periods. Management believes the impacts of the losses associated with our previous offshore wind investments, the loss on the pending sale of the Aquarion water distribution business, and the loss on the disposition of land associated with an abandoned project are not indicative of Eversource Energy's ongoing costs and performance. Management views these charges as not directly related to the ongoing operations of the business and therefore not an indicator of baseline operating performance. Due to the nature and significance of the effect of these items on net income attributable to common shareholders and EPS, management believes that the non-GAAP presentation is a more meaningful representation of Eversource Energy's financial performance and provides additional and useful information to readers of this report in analyzing historical and future performance of the business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to reported net income attributable to common shareholders or EPS determined in accordance with GAAP as indicators of Eversource Energy's operating performance.
