• Results in line with net operating earnings per share (non-GAAP) guidance for 2016

• Company on track to execute $1.4 billion in utility infrastructure investments for the year

• Regulatory activities progressing well in multiple states

MERRILLVILLE, Ind. - NiSource Inc. (NYSE: NI) today announced net operating earnings from continuing operations (non-GAAP) of $190.8 million, or $0.60 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $179.3 million, or $0.57 per share, for the same period in 2015. Operating earnings (non-GAAP) for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $399.3 million, compared to $364.7 million, for the same period in 2015.

On a GAAP basis, NiSource reported income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 of $179.7 million, or $0.56 per share, compared with $192.5 million, or $0.61 per share, for the same period in 2015. Operating income was $381.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with $386.3 million for the same period in 2015. Schedules 1 and 2 of this news release contain a reconciliation of net operating earnings and operating earnings to GAAP net income and operating income, respectively.

“Our first quarter results reflect the strength of our regulated business strategy and sustained track record of delivering value to our customers through our investment programs,” said NiSource President and CEO Joseph Hamrock. “We’re on track to execute on our robust capital investment plans and well positioned to deliver non-GAAP net operating earnings within our guidance range of $1.00 to $1.10 per share for the year.”

First Quarter 2016 Highlights

NiSource continued to execute on its infrastructure investment strategy designed to improve safety, reliability and environmental performance for its customers and communities. The company also made key progress in several states on regulatory initiatives which support these infrastructure investments, along with enhanced employee training and customer programs. NiSource remains on track for sustained execution on the more than $30 billion of identified long-term regulated utility investments the company outlined in 2014.

Gas Distribution Operations

• On March 18, 2016, Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania (CPA) filed a request with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) to adjust its base rates in support of CPA’s continued upgrades and replacement of its infrastructure, and to recover increases in the company’s safety-related operating and maintenance costs. The rate request is based on CPA’s infrastructure investments and programs which are designed to enhance pipeline safety. If approved as filed, the case would result in a $55 million annual revenue increase. A PUC order is expected by the end of 2016.

• On April 20, 2016, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio approved Columbia Gas of Ohio's (COH) annual infrastructure replacement rider. The rider provides for continued support of COH's well-established pipeline replacement program investments. This order authorizes $21 million in increased annual revenue related to 2015 infrastructure investments of approximately $185 million.

• Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) continues to execute on its seven-year, approximately $800 million gas infrastructure modernization program to further improve system reliability and safety. On March 30, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) approved the semi-annual tracker update that NIPSCO filed in August 2015, which covered approximately $74 million of investments through mid-2015. NIPSCO filed its latest semi-annual tracker update on Feb. 29, and that request remains pending with the IURC.

• On April 29, 2016, Columbia Gas of Virginia(CVA) filed a request with the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) to adjust its base rates to recover investments and other costs associated with the company’s ongoing initiatives to improve the overall safety and reliability of its distribution system and to accommodate increasing demand for service. If approved as filed, the case would result in an annual revenue increase of $37 million. An SCC decision is expected by early next year.

• On April 15, 2016, Columbia Gas of Maryland(CMD) filed a request with the Maryland Public Service Commission to adjust its base rates to support the continued replacement of aging pipe as well as adopt pipeline safety upgrades. If approved as filed, the case would result in an annual revenue increase of approximately $6.5 million. A commission order is expected by the end of 2016.

• A decision on Columbia Gas of Massachusetts’ (CMA) 2016 Gas System Enhancement Plan was issued by the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities on April 29, 2016. This approval allows for recovery of investments of approximately $59 million through 2016 and an increase in annual revenues of approximately $8.2 million, which began on May 1, 2016.

Electric Operations

• On March 24, 2016, NIPSCO reached a settlement agreement with the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC), industrial customers, the LaPorte County Board of Commissioners, and the Indiana Municipal Utility Group on the company’s seven-year electric infrastructure modernization plan. The settlement includes the recovery of more than $1.2 billion of investments and remains focused on electric transmission and distribution infrastructure investments designed to improve system safety and reliability. An IURC order on the settlement is anticipated in the third quarter of 2016.

2

• On February 19, 2016, NIPSCO reached a collaborative agreement in its electric base rate case currently pending before the IURC. The settlement, which includes the OUCC, industrial customers, the Indiana Municipal Utility Group, and the United Steelworkers, provides a platform for NIPSCO’s continued investments and service improvements for customers. The proposed settlement agreement would increase annual revenues by $72.5 million. An IURC order on the settlement is anticipated early in the third quarter of 2016.

• NIPSCO’s two major electric transmission projects remain on schedule with anticipated in-service dates in the second half of 2018. The 100-mile 345-kV and 65-mile 765-kV projects are designed to enhance region-wide system flexibility and reliability. Right-of-way acquisition, permitting and engineering are well under way for both projects.

Utility Leadership Team Advancing Growth Plans

In March, NiSource announced some organizational changes aimed at advancing the company’s growth plans and enhancing performance across the organization.

Effective today, Pablo Vegas joined the company as executive vice president and president, Columbia Gas Group, for NiSource's Columbia Gas companies, which includes local gas distribution companies in Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. He previously held a variety of senior executive positions in the regulated utility and consulting industries, including serving most recently as president and chief operating officer of American Electric Power (AEP) Ohio.

Vegas will have profit-and-loss responsibility for the six Columbia Gas companies, including leadership of state regulatory, customer and stakeholder performance. He is also responsible for customer service, billing and new business platforms for all seven NiSource companies.

Carl Levander, executive vice president and chief regulatory officer, will assume the role of executive vice president, regulatory policy and corporate affairs, which includes responsibility for policy, corporate communications, federal government affairs, regulatory strategy and human resources at NiSource.

“Building on our already strong leadership team, we continue to align our organization to capitalize on all of our strategic opportunities,” Hamrock said. “These include executing on our well-established infrastructure investment plans, while at the same time looking at enhancements to our plan such as growing our customer base, improving service to our customers and leveraging common platforms.”

2016 Guidance, Financial & Growth Commitments Reaffirmed

Hamrock reaffirmed that NiSource expects to deliver non-GAAP net operating earnings per share of $1.00 to $1.10 in 2016. NiSource also expects to make approximately $1.4 billion in planned infrastructure enhancement investments during the year. This 2016 earnings and investment guidance provides the starting point for NiSource’s long-term annual earnings per share and dividend growth projections of 4-6 percent annually.

NiSource remains committed to maintaining solid, investment grade credit ratings. Standard & Poor’s rates NiSource at BBB+, Moody’s rates NiSource at Baa2, and Fitch rates NiSource at BBB- with a positive outlook. As of March 31, 2016, NiSource maintained over $1 billion in net available liquidity, consisting of cash and available capacity under its credit facilities.

First Quarter 2016 Operating Earnings - Segment Results (non-GAAP)

NiSource's consolidated operating earnings (non-GAAP) for the three months ended March 31, 2016, were $399.3 million, compared to $364.7 million for the same period in 2015. Refer to Schedule 2 for the items included in 2016 and 2015 GAAP operating income but excluded from operating earnings.

Operating earnings for NiSource’s business segments for the three months ended March 31, 2016, are discussed below.

Gas Distribution Operations reported operating earnings of $330.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with operating earnings of $305.8 million for the prior year period. Net revenues, excluding the impact of trackers, increased by $34.7 million primarily attributable to increases in regulatory and service programs, including the impact of new rates at CMA and CPA, as well as the implementation of new rates under COH's approved infrastructure replacement program.

Operating expenses, excluding the impact of trackers, increased by $10.3 million due primarily to increased outside service costs and higher depreciation.

Electric Operations reported operating earnings of $72.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with operating earnings of $67.2 million for the prior year period. Net revenues, excluding the impact of trackers, increased by $0.2 million.

Operating expenses, excluding the impact of trackers, decreased by $4.8 million due primarily to lower generation expenses, decreased employee and administrative costs and lower environmental costs. These decreases were partially offset by higher outside service costs.

Corporate and Other Operations reported an operating earnings loss of $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with an operating earnings loss of $8.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This variance is driven primarily by lower employee and administrative costs.

Other Income (Deductions)

Other income (deductions) reduced income by $89.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to a reduction of income of $89.3 million in the prior year. This variance was primarily due to lower miscellaneous transmission upgrade agreement income, partially offset by decreased interest expense.

The effective tax rate of net operating earnings was 38.4 percent compared to 34.9 percent for the same period last year. The increase in the three month effective tax rate in 2016 versus 2015 is primarily due to the state apportionment benefits in 2015.

Regulation G Disclosure Statement

This press release includes financial results and guidance for NiSource with respect to net operating earnings and operating earnings, which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the SEC’s Regulation G. The company includes such measures because management believes they permit investors to view the company’s performance using the same tools that management uses and to better evaluate the Company’s ongoing business performance. With respect to such guidance, it should be noted that there will likely be differences between such measures and GAAP equivalents due to various factors, including, but not limited to, fluctuations in weather, the impact of asset sales and impairments, separation-related costs, and certain income tax items. NiSource is not able to estimate the impact of such factors on GAAP earnings and, as such, is not providing earnings guidance on a GAAP basis.
