MERRILLVILLE, Ind.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nNiSource Inc. (NYSE: NI) today announced, on a GAAP basis, net income available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2024, of $739.7 million, or $1.62 of earnings per diluted share, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $661.7 million, or $1.48 of earnings per diluted share, for the same period of 2023.<\/p>\n\nNiSource also reported full-year 2024 non-GAAP adjusted net income available to common shareholders of $798.6 million, or $1.75 of adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”) compared to non-GAAP adjusted net income available to common shareholders of $716.3 million, or $1.60 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. **<\/p>\n
\nNiSource is raising 2025 non-GAAP adjusted EPS guidance to $1.85-$1.89. The base capital expenditure plan is increased to $19.4 billion, a $100 million increase versus the prior $19.3 billion. This is expected to result in 8%-10% rate base growth and non-GAAP adjusted EPS growth of 6%-8% annually for the 2025-2029 period.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe continue our track record of strong financial growth achieving 2024 non-GAAP EPS of $1.75, delivering an 8.5% 3-year compound annualized growth rate,\u201d said NiSource President and CEO, Lloyd Yates. \u201cOur on-going focus to deliver great value for our customers is evidenced by high customer satisfaction results. As we look back at 2024 and the many accomplishments of our team, I\u2019d like to express my gratitude to our employees and suppliers; their continued contributions and commitment have created significant value for our regulators, customers, shareholders, and all our stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n
**Non-GAAP Disclosure Statement<\/b><\/p>\n
\nBeginning 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<\/p>\n
\nThis 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\u2019s performance using the same tools that management uses and to better evaluate the company\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
