Filed February 17, 2009For Securities:ES

Summary

Eversource Energy (ES), formerly Northeast Utilities, filed an 8-K on February 17, 2009, to announce its unaudited financial results for the year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008. The filing primarily serves as a notification that the company has released its earnings, attaching the relevant press release and unaudited financial statements as exhibits. Investors should review these exhibits for detailed financial performance and condition of the company and its subsidiaries, including balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements for the periods mentioned. While this 8-K is a standard disclosure for earnings announcements, it is crucial for investors to consult the attached exhibits (99.1 and 99.2) for substantive financial details. The filing itself confirms the release of this information and does not contain a narrative analysis of the results. Therefore, the primary takeaway for investors is the availability of the 2008 year-end and Q4 earnings data, which would have been a key focus for market participants at the time of the filing.
