EVERSOURCE ENERGY Q3 2022 RESULTS November 3, 2022 2022 Third Quarter Results Exhibit 99.3
EVERSOURCE ENERGY Q3 2022 RESULTS Safe Harbor Statement 1 All per - share amounts in this presentation are reported on a diluted basis. The only common equity securities that are publicly traded are common shares of Eversource Energy. The earnings and EPS of each business do not represent a direct legal interest in the assets and liabilities of such business, bu t r ather represent a direct interest in Eversource Energy's assets and liabilities as a whole. EPS by business is a financial measure not recognized under generally accepted accounting pr inciples (non - GAAP) that is calculated by dividing the net income or loss attributable to common shareholders of each business by the weighted average diluted Eversource Energy com mon shares outstanding for the period. Earnings discussions also include non - GAAP financial measures referencing 2022 and 2021 earnings and EPS excluding certain transaction an d transition costs, and our 2021 earnings and EPS excluding charges at CL&P related to an October 2021 settlement agreement that included credits to customers and funding of various customer assistance initiatives and a 2021 storm performance penalty imposed on CL&P by the PURA. Eversource Energy uses these non - GAAP financial measures to evaluate and provide details of earnings results by business and to more fully compare and explain 2022 and 2021 results without including these items. This information is amon g t he primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating performance and planning and forecasting of future periods. Management believes the impacts of transaction and tr ansition costs, the CL&P October 2021 settlement agreement, and the 2021 storm performance penalty imposed on CL&P by the PURA, are not indicative of Eversource Energy’s ongo ing costs and performance. Due to the nature and significance of the effect of these items on net income attributable to common shareholders and EPS, management believes tha t the non - GAAP presentation is a more meaningful representation of Eversource Energy’s financial performance and provides additional and useful information to read ers in analyzing historical and future performance of the business. These non - GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to Eversource Energy’s reported net in come attributable to common shareholders or EPS determined in accordance with GAAP as indicators of Eversource Energy’s operating performance. This document includes statements concerning Eversource Energy’s expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, as sumptions of future events, future financial performance or growth and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are “forward - looking statements” with in the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

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 project ions 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 may cause our actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in our forward - looking statements, including, but not limited to: cyberattack s or breaches, including those resulting in the compromise of the confidentiality of our proprietary information and the personal information of our customers; disruptions i n t he capital markets or other events that make our access to necessary capital more difficult or costly; the negative impacts of the novel coronavirus (COVID - 19) pandemic, includi ng any new or emerging variants, on our customers, vendors, employees, regulators, and operations; changes in economic conditions, including impact on interest rates, tax polic ies , and customer demand and payment ability; ability or inability to commence and complete our major strategic development projects and opportunities; acts of war or terrorism, phys ica l attacks or grid disturbances that may damage and disrupt our electric transmission and electric, natural gas, and water distribution systems; actions or inaction of local, st ate and federal regulatory, public policy and taxing bodies; substandard performance of third - party suppliers and service providers; fluctuations in weather patterns, including extreme weat her due to climate change; changes in business conditions, which could include disruptive technology or development of alternative energy sources related to our current or fut ure business model; contamination of, or disruption in, our water supplies; changes in levels or timing of capital expenditures; changes in laws, regulations or regulatory polic y, including compliance with environmental laws and regulations; changes in accounting standards and financial reporting regulations; actions of rating agencies; and other prese ntl y unknown or unforeseen factors.
