| | • | | Strong utility performance driven by customer growth and rate relief |
| | • | | Midstream Investments expected to contribute earnings at the high end of the $0.24 - $0.28 guidance range for 2016 |

Houston, TX – November 4, 2016 -CenterPoint Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CNP) today reported net income of $179 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2016, compared with a $391 million loss or a loss of $0.91 per diluted share for the same period of the prior year. The third quarter 2015 loss included pre-tax impairment charges totaling $862 million related to midstream investments. Excluding the impairment charges, third quarter 2015 net income would have been $146 million or $0.34 per diluted share. On a guidance basis, third quarter 2016 earnings were $0.41 per diluted share, consisting of $0.31 from utility operations and $0.10 from midstream investments. On the same guidance basis and excluding the impairment charges, third quarter 2015 earnings would have been $0.34 per diluted share, consisting of $0.24 from utility operations and $0.10 from midstream investments.
Operating income for the third quarter of 2016 was $284 million, compared with $265 million in the third quarter of the prior year. Equity income from midstream investments was $73 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared with a $794 million loss for the same period in the prior year, which includes the impairment charges noted above.
“Utility operations and midstream investments both performed well in the third quarter,” said Scott M. Prochazka, president and chief executive officer of CenterPoint Energy. “As a result, we are adjusting guidance to the higher end of the range for 2016.”
Electric Transmission & Distribution
The electric transmission & distribution segment reported operating income of $257 million for the third quarter of 2016, consisting of $234 million from the regulated electric transmission & distribution utility operations (TDU) and $23 million related to securitization bonds. Operating income for the third quarter of 2015 was $244 million, consisting of $219 million from the TDU and $25 million related to securitization bonds.

Operating income for the TDU benefited primarily from rate relief, customer growth and higher equity return, primarily related to true-up proceeds. These benefits were partially offset by higher depreciation and other taxes.
Natural Gas Distribution
The natural gas distribution segment reported operating income of $22 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared with $11 million for the same period of 2015. Operating income benefited from rate relief, revenue from decoupling mechanisms, lower bad debt expense and lower sales and use tax. These benefits were partially offset by higher depreciation and increased labor and benefit expenses.
Energy Services
The energy services segment reported operating income of $5 million for the third quarter of 2016 compared with $7 million for the same period in the prior year. Third quarter operating income for 2016 included a mark-to-market accounting loss of $2 million, compared to a gain of $5 million for the same period of the prior year. Excluding mark-to-market adjustments, operating income would have been $7 million in the third quarter of 2016 and $2 million in the third quarter of 2015.
Midstream Investments
The midstream investments segment reported $73 million of equity income for the third quarter of 2016, compared with a $794 million loss in the third quarter of the prior year, which includes the impairment charges noted above. For the third quarter of 2015, the impairments were partially offset by equity earnings of $68 million.
Enable Midstream declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.318 per common and subordinated unit on November 1, 2016. Please refer to Enable Midstream’s November 2, 2016 earnings press release for details.
Dividend Declaration
On October 27, 2016, CenterPoint Energy’s board of directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.2575 per share of common stock payable on December 9, 2016, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 16, 2016.
Outlook for 2016
On a consolidated basis, CenterPoint Energy updates earnings on a guidance basis for 2016 to the range of $1.16 – $1.20 per diluted share.

The guidance range considers utility operations performance to date and certain significant variables that may impact earnings, such as weather, regulatory and judicial proceedings, throughput, commodity prices, effective tax rates, and financing activities. In providing this guidance, the company uses a non-GAAP measure of adjusted diluted earnings per share that does not consider other potential impacts, such as changes in accounting standards or unusual items, earnings or losses from the change in the value of the ZENS securities and the related stocks, or the timing effects of mark-to-market accounting in the company’s Energy Services business.
In providing guidance, the company assumes for midstream investments a 55.4 percent limited partner ownership interest in Enable Midstream and includes the amortization of CenterPoint Energy’s basis difference in Enable Midstream. CenterPoint Energy’s guidance takes into account such factors as Enable Midstream’s most recent public outlook for 2016, dated November 2, 2016, and effective tax rates. The company does not include other potential impacts such as any changes in accounting standards or Enable Midstream’s unusual items.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures by CenterPoint Energy in Providing Guidance
In addition to presenting its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), including presentation of net income and diluted earnings per share, CenterPoint Energy also provides guidance based on adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance that excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. CenterPoint Energy’s adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share calculation excludes from net income and diluted earnings per share, respectively, the impact of ZENS and related securities, mark-to-market gains or losses resulting from the company’s Energy Services business and adjustments for impairment charges. A reconciliation of net income and diluted earnings per share to the basis used in providing 2016 guidance is provided in this news release. CenterPoint Energy is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of forward looking adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share because changes in the value of ZENS and related securities, mark-to-market gains or losses resulting from the company’s Energy Services business and impairment charges are not estimable.
Management evaluates the company’s financial performance in part based on adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share. We believe that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of CenterPoint Energy’s overall financial performance by providing them with an additional meaningful and relevant comparison of current and anticipated future results across periods. The adjustments made in these non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that Management believes does not most accurately reflect the company’s fundamental business performance. These excluded items are reflected in the reconciliation tables of this news release, where applicable. CenterPoint Energy’s adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, net income and diluted earnings per share, which respectively are the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures also may be different than non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
