The New England utility posted earnings of $1.50 per diluted share, a hair below the $1.51 consensus estimate, even as operating revenues surged 23.6% year over year to $4.12 billion, well ahead of the $3.77 billion analysts had expected. The revenue strength was driven primarily by base distribution rate increases across its Massachusetts and New Hampshire electric and gas businesses, with the Natural Gas Distribution segment standing out as the quarter's strongest contributor at $218.40 million in earnings, up from $190.60 million a year ago following Massachusetts gas rate increases that took effect in November 2024. Higher interest expenses, reflecting the absence of capitalized interest after the exit from offshore wind investments, weighed on net results. Management reaffirmed full-year 2025 EPS guidance of $4.67 to $4.82 and its 5% to 7% long-term growth target through 2029, backed by a $24.20 billion capital plan, as the company advances toward becoming a pure-play regulated utility following the pending Aquarion water business sale.

Key Takeaways

  • Base distribution rate increases at New Hampshire and Massachusetts electric businesses
  • Massachusetts gas rate increases effective November 1, 2024
  • Continued investment in electric transmission system
  • Relatively quiet winter storm season reducing operational costs
  • NSTAR Electric PBR adjustment rate increase of $56 million effective January 2025

“Eversource is off to a positive start to 2025, once again achieving strong operational and financial results in the first quarter. The strategic divestiture of our Aquarion water business, a key step to strengthening our balance sheet, is anticipated to close later in 2025, and we are excited about Eversource's future as a pure-play regulated utility company with solid growth opportunities.”
