Item 7.01.  Regulation FD Disclosure

Vectren Corporation (the Company) will meet with certain members of the financial community beginning on Wednesday, February 28, 2018. Carl L. Chapman, Chairman, President and CEO and Susan M. Hardwick, Executive Vice President and CFO, will provide an overview of the Company's utility and nonutility businesses and key strategies for growth.

The accompanying slides to be used in these discussions are attached as exhibits to this filing as Exhibits 99.1.

Vectren Corporation is the parent company of Vectren Utility Holdings, Inc. (Utility Holdings) and Vectren Enterprises, Inc. (Enterprises).  Utility Holdings is the intermediate holding company of the Company's three operating public utilities, and Enterprises is the holding company for the Company's nonutility operations.

Per share earnings contributions of the Utility Group, Nonutility Group, and Corporate and Other are presented and are non-GAAP measures. Such per share amounts are based on the earnings contribution of each group included in the Company’s consolidated results divided by the Company’s basic average shares outstanding during the period. The earnings per share of the groups do not represent a direct legal interest in the assets and liabilities allocated to the groups, but rather represent a direct equity interest in Vectren Corporation's assets and liabilities as a whole. These non-GAAP measures are used by management to evaluate the performance of individual businesses. In addition, other items giving rise to period over period variances, such as weather, may be presented on an after tax and per share basis. These amounts are calculated at a statutory tax rate divided by the Company’s basic average shares outstanding during the period. Accordingly, management believes these measures are useful to investors in understanding each business’ contribution to consolidated earnings per share and in analyzing consolidated period to period changes and the potential for earnings per share contributions in future periods. Per share amounts of the Utility Group and the Nonutility Group are reconciled to the GAAP financial measure of basic EPS by adding the two together. If there is a difference, that difference results from Corporate and Other operations. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP.

In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company is hereby furnishing cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results of the Company and its subsidiaries, including Utility Holdings, to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made by, or on behalf of, the Company and its subsidiaries.  These cautionary statements are attached as Exhibit 99.2.

The information contained herein and in the attached slides shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Forward-Looking Statements All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements made in good faith by the company and are intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based on management’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management and include such words as “believe”, “anticipate”, “endeavor”, “estimate”, “expect”, “objective”, “projection”, “forecast”, “goal”, “likely”, and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. Vectren cautions readers that the assumptions forming the basis for forward-looking statements include many factors that are beyond Vectren’s ability to control or estimate precisely and actual results could differ materially from those contained in this document. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which our statement is made, and we assume no duty to update them. More detailed information about these factors is set forth in Vectren’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Vectren’s 2017 annual report on Form 10-K filed on February 21, 2018.

Uses Sources Financing Utility Investment Financing plan reflects sound regulatory approach and contemplates any needed long- term debt and equity at the utilities • Continuing to evaluate the use of equity forwards for public issuances timed with rate cases Significant cash flow from operations, enhanced by timely recovery on a significant portion of CapEx • Tax reform reduces utility cash from operations, but additional cash available from nonutility to help fund utility CapEx Long history of high investment-grade credit ratings • Current S&P rating of A- (VVC), Moody’s rating of A2 (VUHI); Both stable – Vectren not included in Moody’s recent ratings/outlook downgrades Utility funds ~85-90% of Vectren’s dividend; Continue to target utility payout of 70% Vectren | Investor Presentation | February/March 2018 16 Majority of Utility CapEx Funded by Cash from Operations CapEx $3.4B Utility FFO $1.8 - $2.2B Utility Funded Dividends $0.7B Incremental* Debt $1.0 – 1.2B Nonutility cash flow $100 - $300M 5-Year Expectations (’18-’22) * Incremental debt excludes refinanced debt

Expected Impact of Tax Reform: Utility expected to pass tax savings on to customers; statewide proceedings have begun in IN and OH Elimination of bonus depreciation and lower tax rate reduces utility cash flow from operations, as anticipated Expect nonutility EPS benefit ~$0.11 in 2018 as a result of lower effective corporate tax rate; 21% from 35% Given competitive nature of the businesses, need further clarity on level of higher VISCO/VESCO earnings due to lower tax rate and if sustainable in the long term Marginal impact to previously announced five-year Cap Ex financing plans • Modest increase in long-term debt need • Lower utility cash flow from operations due to lower revenue related to lower taxes collected from customers • Higher cash flow from nonutility operations from lower tax rate helps offset lower utility cash flow No change to long-term growth targets; opportunity for upside as impact of tax reform settles in competitive nonutility businesses Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 No Change to Long-Term Outlook Currently 17 Vectren | Investor Presentation | February/March 2018

Infrastructure Services (VISCO) General Description of Types of Customer Contracts for Infrastructure Services  Infrastructure Services operates primarily under two types of contracts – blanket contracts and bid contracts. Blanket contracts are ones which a customer is not committed to specific volumes of services, but where we have been or expect to be chosen to perform work needed by a customer in a given time frame (typically awarded on a yearly basis). Bid contracts are ones which a customer will commit to a specific service to be performed for a specific price, whether in total for a project or on a per unit basis (e.g., per dig or per foot). General Description of Backlog for Infrastructure Services  For blanket work, backlog represents an estimate of the amount of gross revenue that we expect to realize from work to be performed in the next 12 months on existing contracts or contracts we reasonably expect to be renewed or awarded based upon recent history or discussions with customers.  For bid work, backlog represents the value remaining on contracts awarded or that we reasonably expect to be awarded, but are not yet completed.  While there is a reasonable basis to estimate backlog, there can be no assurance as to our customers’ eventual demand for our services each year or, therefore, the accuracy of our estimate of backlog. Backlog for Infrastructure Services estimated as follows:  For blanket work, estimated backlog as of 12/31/17 was $480 million compared to $435 million at 12/31/16. The estimate of the amount of gross revenue that we expect to realize from work to be performed in the next 12 months is multiplied by 80% to factor in such unknowns as weather and potential budgetary restrictions of customers.  For bid work, estimated backlog as of 12/31/17 is $245 million compared to $290 million at 12/31/16.  Total estimated backlog as of 12/31/17: $725 million compared to $725 million at 12/31/16.

Use of Non-GAAP Performance Measures and Per Share Measures 43 Contribution to Vectren's EPS Per share earnings contributions of the Utility Group, Nonutility Group and Corporate and Other are presented and are non-GAAP measures. Such per share amounts are based on the earnings contribution of each group included in the Company’s consolidated results divided by the Company’s basic average shares outstanding during the period. The earnings per share of the groups do not represent a direct legal interest in the assets and liabilities allocated to the groups; instead they represent a direct equity interest in the Company's assets and liabilities as a whole. These non-GAAP measures are used by management to evaluate the performance of individual businesses. In addition, other items giving rise to period over period variances, such as weather, may be presented on an after tax and per share basis. These amounts are calculated at a statutory tax rate divided by the Company’s basic average shares outstanding during the period. Accordingly, management believes these measures are useful to investors in understanding each business’ contribution to consolidated earnings per share and in analyzing consolidated period to period changes and the potential for earnings per share contributions in future periods. Per share amounts of the Utility Group and the Nonutility Group are reconciled to the GAAP financial measure of basic EPS by combining the two. Any resulting differences are attributable to results from Corporate and Other operations. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP.
