Filed Feb 14, 2025 · Read the filing on EDGAR
- Eversource returned to a $811.7 million profit from a $442.2 million loss, though wind sale losses and the Aquarion write-down still reduced earnings.
- It finished selling its offshore wind stakes, but recorded a $365 million liability for future payments and warns that losses could exceed it.
- It agreed in January 2025 to sell its water business, Aquarion, for about $2.4 billion and plans to use net proceeds to reduce parent debt.
- S&P downgraded the company over Connecticut regulation, and management cut planned Connecticut distribution spending in response.
Business momentum
Strong improvement
“We earned $811.7 million, or $2.27 per share, in 2024, compared with a loss of $442.2 million, or $1.26 per share, in 2023.”
Outlook
Positive
“We project that we will earn within a 2025 earning guidance range of between $4.67 per share and $4.82 per share.”
Financial stress
Moderate
“Eversource, with its current credit ratings, has several options available in the financial markets to repay or refinance these maturities with the issuance of new long-term debt.”
Tone against the previous report
More positive
Red flags
- Medium
Large write-down
“recorded a goodwill impairment of $297 million, as the estimated fair value of the business based on the anticipated sale was less than the carrying value”
- Medium
Other
“In December 2024, S&P downgraded the ratings for Eversource parent and its subsidiaries primarily due to S&P's negative assessment of the Connecticut regulatory construct for Eversource’s Connecticut utilities.”
- Medium
Other
“The Company believes it is reasonably possible that there is an additional loss in excess of the liability recorded, but management cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss beyond the $365 million recorded at this time.”
- Medium
Other
“The continuing pattern of adverse regulatory outcomes for Connecticut utilities and associated credit downgrades from our credit rating agencies necessitated a reduction to Connecticut’s electric and natural gas distribution projected capital expenditures.”
Positives
Underlying earnings grew, excluding wind and water sale charges
“Excluding these charges, our non-GAAP earnings were $1.63 billion, or $4.57 per share, in 2024, compared with non-GAAP earnings of $1.52 billion, or $4.34 per share, in 2023.”
Water business sale should bring cash to reduce debt
“Eversource plans to use the net proceeds from the pending sale to pay down parent company debt.”
Operating cash flow increased, helped partly by payment and collection timing
“Cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $2.16 billion in 2024, compared with $1.65 billion in 2023.”
Concerns
Connecticut regulation is hurting credit ratings and investment plans
“These credit ratings and outlook changes reflect higher regulatory risk in Connecticut with the regulatory construct and adverse regulatory developments, including recent rate orders and the passage of Senate Bill 7”
Large storm costs still await regulators' approval or review
“We have $2.10 billion of deferred storm costs that either have yet to be filed with the applicable regulatory commission, are pending regulatory approval, or are subject to prudency review as of December 31, 2024.”
Thin cash and short-term shortfall leave the company reliant on borrowing
“These factors have resulted in current liabilities exceeding current assets by $1.64 billion, $291.7 million and $112.0 million at Eversource, NSTAR Electric and PSNH, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.”
New risks since the previous report
Revolution Wind tax credit shortfall could trigger further loss on the sold project
“A change in the expected value or qualification of ITC adders could result in a significant loss in a future period.”
Aquarion sale still needs approval from state regulators and antitrust clearance
“The sale is subject to approval by PURA, DPU and the NHPUC, as well as other approvals pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act as well as other customary closing conditions.”
Federal transmission return complaints could be affected by a 2024 ruling involving other utilities
“The resolution of these proceedings could have a material impact on the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.”
Massachusetts climate policy may force changes to the natural gas business model
“The DPU will consider and, in some cases, require new processes and analysis for traditional natural gas investments, which may require significant changes to the LDC planning process and business models.”
Biggest risks named
- Further offshore wind payments and tax credit losses after the sale
- Connecticut regulators limiting cost recovery and returns
- Credit downgrades, higher interest costs and reliance on capital markets
- Cyberattacks disrupting service or exposing confidential information
- Severe storms causing costly damage that regulators may not let it recover

How these scores work
An AI model reads the management discussion, risk factors and legal sections of each report and records what they say, quoting the filing word for word. Fixed rules then turn those findings into a score from 0 to 100, where 60 means nothing notable either way. A score describes the report, not whether the stock is a good investment, and the AI may know how things turned out later, which can colour older scores. Read the methodology
