Forward Looking Statements:

This news release includes statements concerning Eversource Energy’s expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, assumptions of future events, future financial performance or growth and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, readers can identify these forward-looking statements through the use of words or phrases such as “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “believe,” “forecast,” “should,” “could” and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations, estimates, assumptions or projections of management and are not guarantees of future performance. These expectations, estimates, assumptions or projections may vary materially from actual results. Accordingly, any such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are accompanied by, the following important factors that could cause Eversource Energy’s actual results to differ materially from those contained in Eversource Energy’s forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to:

  • capital markets risk, including the impact of general economic and industry conditions and the negative impacts of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including any new or emerging variants, on Eversource Energy's customers, vendors, employees, regulators, and operations;
  • acts of war or terrorism, physical attacks or grid disturbances that may damage and disrupt Eversource Energy's electric transmission and electric, natural gas, and water distribution systems; and
  • other presently unknown or unforeseen factors.

Other risk factors are detailed in Eversource Energy’s reports filed with the SEC and updated as necessary, and are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Eversource Energy encourages you to consult such disclosures.

All such factors are difficult to predict and contain uncertainties that may materially affect Eversource Energy’s actual results, many of which are beyond Eversource Energy’s control. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements; each speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and, except as required by federal securities laws, Eversource Energy undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for Eversource Energy’s management to predict all of such factors, nor can such management assess the impact of each such factor on the business of Eversource Energy or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results of Eversource Energy to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
