印北瓦電. - 印北瓦電公司（紐交所：NI）今日宣佈，根據普通會計準則，截至2024年9月30日的三個月內，淨利潤可供普通股股東使用爲8570萬美元，每股攤薄收益爲0.19美元，相比於2023年同期的淨利潤可供普通股股東爲7700萬美元，每股攤薄收益爲0.17美元。截至2024年9月30日的九個月內，根據普通會計準則，印北瓦電公司的淨利潤可供普通股股東使用爲51580萬美元，每股攤薄收益爲1.14美元，相比於2023年同期的淨利潤可供普通股股東爲43610萬美元，每股攤薄收益爲0.98美元。

印北瓦電還報告了2024年第三季度非普通會計淨利潤調整後可供普通股股東使用的8990萬美元，或每股調整後收益（"每股收益"）爲0.20美元，相比之下，2023年同期非普通會計淨利潤調整後可供普通股股東使用的8370萬美元，調整後每股收益爲0.19美元。截至2024年9月30日的九個月，印北瓦電的非普通會計淨利潤調整後可供普通股股東使用的56740萬美元，調整後每股收益爲1.26美元，相比之下，2023年同期非普通會計淨利潤調整後可供普通股股東使用的47700萬美元，調整後每股收益爲1.07美元。本新聞發佈中的附表1包含了按照普通會計準則和非普通會計措施進行全面對賬的信息。**

印北瓦電正在重申2024年非GAAP調整後的每股收益指引爲1.70-1.74美元。2025年，預計非GAAP調整後的每股收益將在1.84-1.88美元的區間內。印北瓦電正在將計劃延長至2029年，預計年均非GAAP調整後的每股收益增長率爲6-8%，主要受到193億美元的2025-2029年計劃基本計劃資本支出和8-10%的2025-2029年費率基礎增長的推動。新的基本資本支出計劃比先前5年計劃大約增加了29億美元。

在過去的3個月裏，我們看到了幾個體現出印北瓦電系列公司的建設性利益相關者夥伴關係的例子。我們在率案上取得了進展，推動了愛文思控股（NIPSCO）綜合資源計劃（IRP）對話，並獲得了幾項印第安納州投資的批准，這將提高可靠性並降低客戶成本。這些以及未來的合作伙伴關係是我們更新的5年財務計劃和拓展的投資機會的基礎。我爲我們的員工和承包商一直以來持續卓越的執行感到驕傲。”印北瓦電總裁兼首席執行官勞埃德·耶茨說。

**非通用會計原則披露聲明

從2024年第一季度開始，NiSource Inc. 改變了其披露調整後的淨營收和關於可供普通股股東獲得的調整後每股收益的非通用會計原則結果和指引。更改僅反映名稱更改，這些非通用會計指標的每個計算與歷史計算保持一致。

此新聞稿包括了NiSource的財務業績和指導信息，涉及調整後的每股收益和普通股東可獲得的調整後淨利潤，這些是由SEC定義的非GAAP財務指標。公司包括這些指標是因爲管理層認爲它們可以讓投資者使用與管理層相同的工具查看公司的業績，並更好地評估公司持續的業務表現。關於調整後的每股收益指導，NiSource提醒投資者，由於天氣波動、資產銷售和減值的影響以及其他競爭對手GAAP指標中的飛凡或罕見項目，公司無法提供普通股東可獲得的調整後淨利潤的GAAP等效指導。公司無法估計這些因素對競爭對手GAAP指標的影響，因此沒有提供GAAP基礎上的指導。此外，公司無法在沒有不合理努力的情況下提供其非GAAP調整後每股收益指導與競爭對手GAAP等效的調整。
