Fiscal 2025 NFEPS Guidance:

NJR is raising the lower end of its fiscal 2025 NFEPS guidance range by $0.05 to a range of $3.20 to $3.30, subject to the risks and uncertainties identified below under "Forward-Looking Statements." Fiscal 2025 NFEPS guidance is higher than the range implied by our 7 to 9 percent long-term NFEPS growth target as a result of the gain from the sale of NJR's residential solar portfolio and strong performance from Energy Services.

The following chart represents NJR’s current expected NFE contributions from its business segments for fiscal 2025 (which takes into account the impact of the gain from the sale of NJR's residential solar portfolio in the first quarter of fiscal 2025):

Segment

Expected fiscal 2025

net financial earnings contribution

New Jersey Natural Gas

64 to 67 percent

Clean Energy Ventures

20 to 22 percent

Storage and Transportation

4 to 6 percent

Energy Services

10 to 12 percent

Home Services and Other

0 to 1 percent

In providing fiscal 2025 NFE guidance, management is aware there could be differences between reported GAAP net income and NFE due to matters such as, but not limited to, the positions of our energy-related derivatives. Management is not able to reasonably estimate the aggregate impact or significance of these items on reported earnings and, therefore, is not able to provide a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP equivalent for its operating earnings guidance without unreasonable efforts.

New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG)

NJNG reported third-quarter fiscal 2025 NFE of $10.1 million, compared to net financial loss of $(6.1) million during the same period in fiscal 2024. Fiscal 2025 year-to-date NFE totaled $221.5 million, compared with NFE of $152.4 million for the same period in fiscal 2024. The increase in NFE for both periods was due primarily to higher utility gross margin resulting from NJNG's recent base rate case settlement, partially offset by higher depreciation expense.

Customers:

  • At June 30, 2025, NJNG serviced approximately 588,000 customers in New Jersey’s Monmouth, Ocean, Morris, Middlesex, Sussex and Burlington counties, compared to approximately 583,000 customers at September 30, 2024.

Infrastructure Update:

  • NJNG's Infrastructure Investment Program (IIP) is a five-year, $150 million accelerated recovery program that began in fiscal 2021. IIP consists of a series of infrastructure projects designed to enhance the safety and reliability of NJNG's natural gas distribution system. In the first nine months of fiscal 2025, NJNG spent $24.0 million under the program on various distribution system reinforcement projects.

Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS) Incentive Programs:

BGSS incentive programs contributed $14.5 million to utility gross margin during the first nine months of fiscal 2025, compared with $16.2 million in the same period in fiscal 2024. This decline was largely due to decreased margins from storage incentives.

For more information on utility gross margin, please see "Non-GAAP Financial Information" below.

Energy-Efficiency Programs:

SAVEGREEN® invested $72.9 million year-to-date in fiscal 2025 in energy-efficiency upgrades for customers' homes and businesses. NJNG recovered $13.0 million of its outstanding investments during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 through its energy efficiency rate.

Clean Energy Ventures (CEV)

CEV reported third-quarter fiscal 2025 net financial loss of $(6.9) million, which was consistent compared with net financial loss of $(6.7) million during the same period in fiscal 2024.

Fiscal 2025 year-to-date NFE totaled $37.3 million, compared with net financial loss of $(1.8) million for the same period in fiscal 2024. The increase in fiscal 2025 year-to-date NFE was largely due to the gain on sale of its residential solar portfolio, partially offset by lower Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC) sales for the period.

Solar Investment Update:

  • During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, CEV placed five commercial projects into service, adding 32.1 megawatts (MW) to total installed capacity.
  • As of June 30, 2025, CEV had approximately 418MW of commercial solar capacity in service in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Indiana, and Michigan.
  • Subsequent to quarter end, CEV placed additional projects into service in New Jersey, adding over 31.3MW of installed capacity for a total of approximately 449MW currently in service.

Storage and Transportation

Storage and Transportation reported third-quarter fiscal 2025 NFE of $5.9 million, compared with NFE of $4.1 million during the same period in fiscal 2024.

Fiscal 2025 year-to-date NFE totaled $13.9 million, compared with NFE of $9.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2024. NFE increased during both periods due to an increase in operating revenues at Leaf River Energy Center (Leaf River).

  • On September 30, 2024, Adelphia filed a Section 4 rate case with the FERC seeking approval to revise its transportation cost-of-service rates to reflect investments made in its pipeline system. On June 26, 2025, Adelphia reached a settlement in principle with customers participating in the rate case. Adelphia plans to file an offer of settlement with the FERC during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.

Energy Services

Energy Services reported a third-quarter fiscal 2025 net financial loss of $(3.7) million, compared with net financial loss of $(2.2) million for the same period in fiscal 2024.

Fiscal 2025 year-to-date NFE totaled $39.4 million, compared with NFE of $43.2 million for the same period in fiscal 2024. The decrease in NFE for both the fiscal 2025 third quarter and year-to-date periods was due to lower contribution from the Asset Management Agreements (AMAs) signed in December 2020 compared to the prior year periods.

Home Services and Other Operations

Home Services and Other Operations reported third-quarter fiscal 2025 NFE of $0.5 million, compared to NFE of $0.9 million for the same period in fiscal 2024.

Fiscal 2025 year-to-date NFE totaled $0.4 million, compared with NFE of $0.7 million for the same period in fiscal 2024. Home Services reported higher installation and service contract revenue for the year-to-date period, offset by higher operating and maintenance expenses.

Capital Expenditures and Cash Flows:

NJR is committed to maintaining a strong financial profile:

  • During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, capital expenditures were $456.8 million, including accruals, compared with $396.5 million during the same period of fiscal 2024. The increase in capital expenditures was primarily due to higher expenditures at NJNG and CEV.
  • During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, cash flows from operations were $385.2 million, compared to cash flows from operations of $362.9 million during the same period of fiscal 2024. The increase was due primarily to an increase in base rates at NJNG along with changes in the mix of working capital components.

Forward-Looking Statements:

This earnings release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. NJR cautions readers that the assumptions forming the basis for forward-looking statements include many factors that are beyond NJR’s ability to control or estimate precisely, such as estimates of future market conditions and the behavior of other market participants. Words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “may,” “will,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “should” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements and such forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s current expectations, assumptions and beliefs as of this date concerning future developments and their potential effect upon NJR. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with management’s expectations, assumptions and beliefs or that the effect of future developments on NJR will be those anticipated by management. Forward-looking statements in this earnings release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding NJR’s NFEPS guidance for fiscal 2025, projected NFEPS growth rates and our guidance range, forecasted contributions of business segments to NJR’s NFE for fiscal 2025, infrastructure programs and investments, future decarbonization opportunities including IIP, Energy Efficiency programs, the outcome or timing of Adelphia’s rate case with FERC; and other legal and regulatory expectations, and statements that include other projections, predictions, expectations or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact.

Additional information and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from NJR’s expectations are contained in NJR’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including NJR’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other SEC filings, which are available at the SEC’s website, http://www.sec.gov. Information included in this earnings release is representative as of today only and while NJR periodically reassesses material trends and uncertainties affecting NJR's results of operations and financial condition in connection with its preparation of management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition contained in its Quarterly and Annual Reports filed with the SEC, NJR does not, by including this statement, assume any obligation to review or revise any particular forward-looking statement referenced herein in light of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Information:

This earnings release includes the non-GAAP financial measures NFE/net financial loss, NFE per basic share, financial margin and utility gross margin. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP can be found below. As an indicator of NJR’s operating performance, these measures should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or operating revenues as determined in accordance with GAAP. This information has been provided pursuant to the requirements of SEC Regulation G.

NFE and financial margin exclude unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments related to NJR’s unregulated subsidiaries and certain realized gains and losses on derivative instruments related to natural gas that has been placed into storage at Energy Services, net of applicable tax adjustments as described below. Financial margin also differs from gross margin as defined on a GAAP basis as it excludes certain operations and maintenance expense and depreciation and amortization as well as the effects of derivatives as discussed above. Volatility associated with the change in value of these financial instruments and physical commodity reported on the income statement in the current period. In order to manage its business, NJR views its results without the impacts of the unrealized gains and losses, and certain realized gains and losses, caused by changes in value of these financial instruments and physical commodity contracts prior to the completion of the planned transaction because it shows changes in value currently instead of when the planned transaction ultimately is settled. An annual estimated effective tax rate is calculated for NFE purposes and any necessary quarterly tax adjustment is applied to NJR Energy Services Company.

NJNG’s utility gross margin is defined as operating revenues less natural gas purchases, sales tax, and regulatory rider expense. This measure differs from gross margin as presented on a GAAP basis as it excludes certain operations and maintenance expense and depreciation and amortization. Utility gross margin may also not be comparable to the definition of gross margin used by others in the natural gas distribution business and other industries. Management believes that utility gross margin provides a meaningful basis for evaluating utility operations since natural gas costs, sales tax and regulatory rider expenses are included in operating revenues and passed through to customers and, therefore, have no effect on utility gross margin.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures to other GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of NJR’s performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are more reflective of NJR’s business model, provide transparency to investors and enable period-to-period comparability of financial performance. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP can be found below. For a full discussion of NJR’s non-GAAP financial measures, please see NJR’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Item 7.

NFE is a measure of earnings based on the elimination of timing differences to effectively match the earnings effects of the economic hedges with the physical sale of natural gas, SRECs and foreign currency contracts. Consequently, to reconcile net income and NFE, current-period unrealized gains and losses on the derivatives are excluded from NFE as a reconciling item. Realized derivative gains and losses are also included in current-period net income. However, NFE includes only realized gains and losses related to natural gas sold out of inventory, effectively matching the full earnings effects of the derivatives with realized margins on physical natural gas flows. NFE also excludes certain transactions associated with equity method investments, including impairment charges, which are non-cash charges, and return of capital in excess of the carrying value of our investment. These are not indicative of the Company's performance for its ongoing operations. Included in the tax effects are current and deferred income tax expense corresponding with the components of NFE.
