EVERSOURCE ENERGY Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2026
Aug 3, 2026Eversource Energy's (ES) third-quarter 10-Q filing for the period ending June 30, 2026, highlights the company's robust risk management practices across commodity prices, interest rates, and credit. Notably, the regulated entities have effectively hedged commodity price risk, with associated costs passed through to customers, mitigating direct earnings exposure. Similarly, the company's debt structure, being entirely fixed-rate as of the reporting date, significantly reduces interest rate sensitivity. While credit risk is actively managed through diverse customer and supplier relationships and collateral arrangements, the primary significant development impacting the company's financial outlook is the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) order regarding Return on Equity (ROE) complaints. This FERC order, issued in March 2026, found the historically allowed base ROE to be unjust and unreasonable, mandating refunds with interest for a substantial retroactive period. This decision has a material adverse effect on Eversource's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, creating uncertainty for future regulatory proceedings. The company also reported minimal share repurchases during the quarter, exclusively for 401k plan matching contributions. Overall, investors should focus on the implications of the FERC ROE decision and the company's continued strong operational risk management.

May 7, 2026Eversource Energy's (ES) Q1 2026 10-Q filing highlights a significant regulatory development concerning its Return on Equity (ROE) from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

The company is assessing the implications, including potential rehearing or appeal. Beyond the regulatory ROE issue, Eversource's market risk disclosures indicate a stable risk management framework. The company actively manages commodity price and interest rate risks through contractual arrangements and a predominantly fixed-rate debt structure, with no exposure to earnings loss from commodity contracts for its regulated entities. Credit risk is managed through diverse customer and supplier bases, and the company holds collateral for certain contracts. Internal controls over financial reporting remain effective, and no new material legal proceedings or risk factors, other than the FERC ROE matter, have been identified for the quarter.

Nov 7, 2014Eversource Energy (ES), formerly Northeast Utilities, reported net income attributable to controlling interest of $234.6 million, or $0.74 per share, for the third quarter of 2014, an increase from $209.5 million, or $0.66 per share, in the same period of 2013. For the first nine months of 2014, net income was $597.9 million, or $1.89 per share, down from $608.6 million, or $1.93 per share, in the first nine months of 2013. The company's performance was impacted by various factors, including cooler summer weather affecting electric sales, but offset by improved natural gas volumes and lower operational costs. Key financial activities during the period included the issuance of new long-term debt totaling $650 million to repay existing debt and short-term borrowings. The company also continued to manage its credit facilities and commercial paper programs. Management highlights the ongoing investment in property, plant, and equipment, totaling $1.1 billion for the first nine months of 2014, supporting infrastructure improvements and reliability projects across its service territories. Regulatory matters, particularly concerning the FERC's decisions on base return on equity (ROE) for transmission services, are noted as a significant factor, leading to the establishment of reserves and potential impacts on future earnings.
EVERSOURCE ENERGY Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2014
Aug 1, 2014Eversource Energy (formerly Northeast Utilities) reported a decrease in net income attributable to controlling interest for the second quarter and first half of 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013. This decline was primarily driven by a significant after-tax reserve established due to unfavorable FERC orders concerning transmission rates, as well as higher depreciation and property taxes. Despite the net income decrease, operating revenues saw an increase, particularly in the natural gas distribution segment, driven by customer growth and colder weather. The company's liquidity remained stable, supported by strong operating cash flows, though investments in property, plant, and equipment continued to be substantial. Management anticipates meeting future operating requirements and capital investments through operating cash flows and access to financial markets.

May 2, 2014Eversource Energy (ES), formerly Northeast Utilities, reported solid financial results for the first quarter of 2014, with net income attributable to controlling interest rising to $236.0 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, compared to $228.1 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, in the same period of 2013. This growth was primarily driven by increased retail electric and firm natural gas sales, largely due to colder weather across its service territories. The company also saw improved operating cash flows. Significant regulatory developments included Connecticut PURA's approval for CL&P to recover $365 million in storm restoration costs over six years, starting December 1, 2014. While the company's transmission segment earnings saw a slight decrease due to the absence of a prior year tax audit benefit, the overall financial performance reflects stable operations and continued investment in infrastructure, with a focus on transmission projects like NEEWS and Northern Pass. The company also maintained strong liquidity and managed its debt effectively through new issuances and maturities.

Nov 4, 2013Eversource Energy (ES) reported solid financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The company saw a significant increase in net income attributable to controlling interest, reaching $608.6 million, a substantial rise from $351.2 million in the same period of 2012. This growth was largely driven by the inclusion of NSTAR's operations, acquired in April 2012, which contributed significantly to both revenue and earnings across the electric distribution, transmission, and natural gas segments. Operational highlights include improved earnings in the electric distribution and transmission segments, despite some weather-related impacts on electric sales. The company continues to invest heavily in infrastructure upgrades and reliability projects, with capital expenditures totaling $1.1 billion for the first nine months of 2013 across its utility operations. Liquidity remains stable, supported by strong operating cash flows and access to credit facilities, enabling the company to manage its debt obligations and fund ongoing capital investments.

Aug 2, 2013Eversource Energy (formerly Northeast Utilities) reported a significant increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2013, reaching $399.1 million ($1.26 per diluted share), a substantial jump from $143.6 million ($0.60 per diluted share) in the prior year's period. This improvement is largely attributable to the inclusion of NSTAR's operations following the merger completion in April 2012, alongside stronger performance in its transmission and natural gas segments. The company also saw improvements in operating income across its key segments, driven by increased investments in transmission infrastructure and higher energy sales. Liquidity remains a focus, with cash and cash equivalents decreasing to $36.1 million from $45.7 million year-over-year. However, operating cash flows improved significantly to $686.9 million for the first half of 2013, up from $284 million in the same period last year. This was supported by the inclusion of NSTAR, reduced storm restoration costs, lower pension contributions, and the absence of merger-related expenses. The company also successfully issued $750 million in senior notes and $200 million in debentures, strengthening its liquidity position and refinancing existing debt.

The company also benefited from the favorable resolution of a state income tax audit. Liquidity remained solid, with cash and cash equivalents increasing to $60.8 million from $45.7 million. Operating cash flows significantly improved, driven by the NSTAR acquisition, reduced storm restoration costs, and proceeds from a DOE damages claim. The company continued to invest in its infrastructure, with capital expenditures totaling $389.0 million for the quarter, up from $304.3 million in the prior year, reflecting ongoing transmission and distribution projects.

The company's liquidity improved, with cash and cash equivalents increasing significantly, and robust access to financial markets for refinancing.

Aug 7, 2012EVERSOURCE ENERGY (ES) filed its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2012. The report details significant financial performance and operational updates, heavily influenced by the recent merger with NSTAR, which closed on April 10, 2012. The merger has substantially increased the company's asset base and operational scope, providing energy delivery services to approximately 3.5 million electric and natural gas customers across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. Financially, the second quarter and first half of 2012 showed reduced net income and EPS compared to the prior year, largely due to substantial merger-related costs and the dilutive impact of issuing new shares. However, excluding these one-time costs, earnings showed improvement driven by the inclusion of NSTAR's operations and increased investment in transmission infrastructure. Management is focused on integrating NSTAR's business and managing regulatory matters across its service territories.
EVERSOURCE ENERGY Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2012
May 10, 2012Eversource Energy (ES), operating as Northeast Utilities and subsidiaries (NU), reported a decrease in net income attributable to controlling interests to $99.3 million for the first quarter of 2012, down from $114.2 million in the same period of 2011. This decline was primarily attributed to milder weather conditions compared to the prior year, leading to lower energy sales, and increased pension and employee-related costs. Despite the year-over-year earnings decrease, the company highlighted significant progress on its merger with NSTAR, which was completed on April 10, 2012, creating a larger, integrated energy delivery company serving approximately 3.5 million customers across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. The company also made substantial investments in infrastructure, with total capital expenditures increasing to $304.3 million. Liquidity remains adequate, with cash and cash equivalents significantly increasing to $283.4 million by the end of the quarter. Key regulatory developments include settlement agreements in Massachusetts and Connecticut regarding the NSTAR merger and ongoing proceedings with the FERC concerning transmission ROE. Financially, the company saw a notable increase in cash and cash equivalents, improved liquidity, and continued investment in regulated utility assets. The completion of the NSTAR merger marks a significant strategic milestone, positioning the combined entity for future growth and operational efficiencies. Investors should monitor the integration of NSTAR and the impact of ongoing regulatory proceedings, particularly the FERC transmission ROE complaint, which could affect future earnings.

Nov 7, 2011Eversource Energy (formerly Northeast Utilities) reported a decrease in net income for the third quarter of 2011 to $90 million ($0.51 per share) from $100.5 million ($0.57 per share) in the same period of 2010. This decline was primarily attributed to net losses on equity securities in its supplemental benefit trust and a charge related to a wholesale billing adjustment at WMECO. For the first nine months of 2011, net income increased to $281.4 million ($1.58 per share) from $258.7 million ($1.46 per share) in the prior year, driven by rate case decisions and colder weather. The company reaffirmed its full-year 2011 earnings guidance of $2.30 to $2.40 per share, excluding merger-related costs. Operating revenues saw a decline primarily due to lower energy and supply costs and customer migration to third-party electric suppliers, though this was partially offset by rate increases and higher investment in transmission infrastructure. The company is actively managing its capital expenditures, projecting approximately $5.7 billion for 2012-2016, which is expected to grow its rate base. Liquidity remains stable, with cash and cash equivalents at $16.7 million as of September 30, 2011. The company also provided an update on its pending merger with NSTAR, with the termination date extended to April 16, 2012, and noted that regulatory approvals are still being sought from relevant authorities. Significant weather events, Tropical Storm Irene and a subsequent snowstorm, caused damage but are not expected to have a material impact on financial results due to expected regulatory recovery of restoration costs.

May 6, 2011Eversource Energy (ES), formerly Northeast Utilities, filed its first quarter 2011 10-Q report on May 6, 2011. The report highlights a significant increase in net income attributable to controlling interests, rising to $114.2 million ($0.64 per share) from $86.2 million ($0.49 per share) in the prior year's quarter.

The company also affirmed its full-year 2011 earnings guidance, signaling continued operational strength. A major development discussed is the proposed merger with NSTAR, which shareholders of both companies approved by March 2011. The transaction is structured as a merger of equals, with Eversource Energy shareholders expected to own approximately 56% of the combined entity post-merger. Regulatory approvals remain a key hurdle, with various state commissions in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Maine providing differing opinions on jurisdiction and approving the merger. The integration of NSTAR is anticipated to lead to substantial cost savings and potential dividend increases.
