\n| \n 1<\/sup> CenterPoint is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP diluted earnings per share without unreasonable effort because changes in the value of ZENS (as defined herein) and related securities, future impairments, and other unusual items are not estimable and are difficult to predict due to various factors outside of management\u2019s control.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\nEarnings Outlook<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\nIn addition to presenting its financial results in accordance with GAAP, including presentation of net income or income available to common shareholders (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share, CenterPoint provides guidance based on non-GAAP income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company\u2019s historical or future financial performance that excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.<\/p>\n \nManagement evaluates CenterPoint\u2019s financial performance in part based on non-GAAP income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. Management believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures enhances an investor\u2019s understanding of CenterPoint\u2019s overall financial performance by providing them with an additional meaningful and relevant comparison of current and anticipated future results across periods. The adjustments made in these non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that management believes do not most accurately reflect the company\u2019s fundamental business performance. These excluded items are reflected in the reconciliation tables of this news release, where applicable. CenterPoint\u2019s non-GAAP income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, net income and diluted earnings per share, which respectively are the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures also may be different than non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.<\/p>\n 2025 and 2026 non-GAAP EPS and 2026 and 2027 non-GAAP EPS guidance range<\/i><\/p>\n\n- \n2025 and 2026 non-GAAP EPS and 2026 and 2027 non-GAAP EPS guidance excludes:<\/p>\n
\n- \nEarnings or losses from the change in value of CenterPoint\u2019s 2.0% Zero-Premium Exchangeable Subordinated Notes due 2029 (\u201cZENS\u201d) and related securities;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \nGains, losses and impacts, including related expenses, associated with mergers and divestitures, such as the divestiture of our Louisiana, Mississippi and Ohio natural gas LDC businesses;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \nImpacts related to temporary emergency electric energy facilities (\u201cTEEEF\u201d) once they are no longer part of our rate-regulated business.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nIn providing 2025 and 2026 non-GAAP EPS and 2026 and 2027 non-GAAP EPS guidance, CenterPoint does not consider the items noted above and other potential impacts such as changes in accounting standards, impairments, or other unusual items, which could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the applicable guidance period. The 2026 and 2027 non-GAAP EPS guidance range also considers assumptions for certain significant variables that may impact earnings, such as customer growth and usage including normal weather, throughput, recovery of capital invested, effective tax rates, financing activities and related interest rates, and regulatory and judicial proceedings. To the extent actual results deviate from these assumptions, the 2026 and 2027 non-GAAP EPS guidance range may not be met, or the projected annual non-GAAP EPS growth rate may change. CenterPoint is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP diluted earnings per share without unreasonable effort because changes in the value of ZENS and related securities, future impairments, and other unusual items are not estimable and are difficult to predict due to various factors outside of management\u2019s control.<\/p>\n Reconciliation of consolidated net income and diluted earnings per share (GAAP) to non-GAAP income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n| \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Three Months Ended
