Houston – Aug. 3, 2017 – CenterPoint Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CNP) today reported net income of $135 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2017, compared with a net loss of $2 million, or a loss of $0.01 per diluted share for the same period of the prior year. On a guidance basis, second quarter 2017 earnings were $0.29 per diluted share, consisting of $0.20 from utility operations and $0.09 from midstream investments. Second quarter 2016 earnings on a guidance basis were $0.17 per diluted share, consisting of $0.14 from utility operations and $0.03 from midstream investments.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2017 was $223 million, compared with $182 million in the second quarter of the prior year. Equity income from midstream investments was $59 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared with $31 million for the second quarter of the prior year.

“We are very pleased with strong second quarter results,” said Scott M. Prochazka, president and chief executive officer of CenterPoint Energy. “All four of our business segments performed well this quarter.”

Business Segments

Electric Transmission & Distribution

The electric transmission & distribution segment reported operating income of $164 million for the second quarter of 2017, consisting of $144 million from the regulated electric transmission & distribution utility operations (TDU) and $20 million related to securitization bonds. Operating income for the second quarter of 2016 was $158 million, consisting of $135 million from the TDU and $23 million related to securitization bonds.

Operating income for the TDU benefited primarily from rate relief and customer growth. These benefits were partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense, other taxes and lower equity return.

Natural Gas Distribution

The natural gas distribution segment reported operating income of $37 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared with $20 million for the same period of 2016. Operating income benefited primarily from rate relief, customer growth and favorable usage due to timing of a decoupling adjustment. These benefits were partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense and other taxes. In addition, operating income benefited from $10 million of adjustments related to the Texas Gulf rate order, including the recording of a $16 million regulatory asset, and the corresponding reduction in expense, to recover prior post-retirement expenses in future rates, which was partially offset by a $6 million operations and maintenance expense adjustment that is primarily timing related.

Energy Services

The energy services segment reported operating income of $16 million for the second quarter of 2017, which included a mark-to-market gain of $6 million. In comparison, operating income for the same period in 2016 was $-0- , which included a mark-to-market loss of $7 million. Excluding mark-to-market adjustments, operating income was $10 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared with $7 million for the same period in 2016. The $3 million increase in operating income was primarily due to an increase in throughput and number of customers related to the acquisition of Atmos Energy Marketing in 2017.

Midstream Investments

The midstream investments segment reported $59 million of equity income for the second quarter of 2017, compared with $31 million in the second quarter of the prior year.

Earnings Outlook

On a consolidated basis, CenterPoint Energy reaffirms its earnings estimate for 2017 in the range of $1.25 - $1.33 per diluted share.

The utility operations guidance range considers 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 for midstream investments, the company assumes ownership of 54.1 percent of the common and subordinated units representing limited partner interests in Enable Midstream and includes the amortization of CenterPoint Energy’s basis differential in Enable

Midstream. CenterPoint Energy’s guidance takes into account such factors as Enable Midstream’s most recent public outlook for 2017 dated Aug. 1, 2017, 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 and mark-to-market gains or losses resulting from the company’s Energy Services business. 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 and mark-to-market gains or losses resulting from the company’s Energy Services business 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.
