New Jersey Resources Reports Fiscal 2026 Third-Quarter Results

New Jersey Resources Corporation (NYSE: NJR) today reported financial and operating results for its fiscal 2026 third quarter and year-to-date period ended June 30, 2026.

Financial Highlights

  • Fiscal 2026 third-quarter consolidated net income of $9.7 million, or $0.10 per share, compared with net loss of $(15.1) million, or $(0.15) per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2025

  • Fiscal 2026 third-quarter consolidated net financial earnings (NFE), a non-GAAP financial measure, of $11.3 million, or $0.11 per share, compared with $6.2 million, or $0.06 per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2025

  • Fiscal 2026 year-to-date net income totaled $351.1 million, or $3.48 per share, compared with $320.6 million, or $3.20 per share, for the same period in fiscal 2025

  • Fiscal 2026 year-to-date NFE totaled $350.9 million, or $3.48 per share, compared with $313.4 million, or $3.13 per share, for the same period in fiscal 2025

Fiscal 2026 and Long-Term Outlook

  • Tightens fiscal 2026 net financial earnings per share (NFEPS) guidance to a range of $3.52 to $3.62, from its previous range of $3.48 to $3.63

  • Maintains 7 to 9 percent long-term NFEPS growth target, starting from a fiscal 2025 base of $2.83 per share*

* 7% – 9% growth would imply a NFEPS range of $3.03 – $3.08 in fiscal 2026

Management Commentary

Steve Westhoven, President and CEO of New Jersey Resources, stated, “Our year-to-date performance reflects the continued strength of our diversified business model, supported by solid execution across our operations. We are pleased to raise the lower end of our fiscal 2026 NFEPS guidance, as we remain focused on delivering reliable, affordable energy and long-term value for our shareowners.”

Fiscal 2026 NFEPS Guidance and Expected NFE Contributions by Segment

NJR is tightening its fiscal 2026 NFEPS guidance to a range of $3.52 to $3.62 from $3.48 to $3.63, subject to the risks and uncertainties identified below under “Forward-Looking Statements.”

The following chart represents NJR’s current expected NFE contributions from its business segments for fiscal 2026:

Segment

Expected fiscal 2026

net financial earnings contribution

New Jersey Natural Gas

59 to 62 percent

Clean Energy Ventures

10 to 13 percent

Storage and Transportation

8 to 11 percent

Energy Services

21 to 23 percent

Home Services and Other

0 to 1 percent

In providing fiscal 2026 NFE guidance, management is aware that there could be differences between reported GAAP net income and NFE due to matters such as, but not limited to, the positions of our energy-related derivatives. Management is not able to reasonably estimate the aggregate impact or significance of these items on reported earnings and, therefore, is not able to provide a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP equivalent for its operating earnings guidance without unreasonable efforts.

New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG)

NJNG reported fiscal 2026 third-quarter NFE of $6.1 million, compared to NFE of $10.1 million during the same period in fiscal 2025. The decrease in NFE for the period was driven primarily by higher depreciation expense as a result of additional utility plant being placed into service, partially offset by higher utility gross margin.

Fiscal 2026 year-to-date NFE totaled $238.4 million, compared with NFE of $221.5 million for the same period in fiscal 2025. The increase in NFE for the period was due to higher base rates in October and November of fiscal 2026 compared to the same period of fiscal 2025 (new rates were effective November 21, 2024) as well as continued customer growth and higher Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS) incentives.

Customers:

  • At June 30, 2026, NJNG serviced approximately 595,000 customers in New Jersey’s Monmouth, Ocean, Morris, Middlesex, Sussex and Burlington counties, compared to approximately 589,000 customers as of September 30, 2025.

Regulatory Filings:

  • On June 1, 2026, NJNG submitted its annual Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS), Conservation Incentive Program (CIP) and Energy-Efficiency filings to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) that, taken together, would provide customers with an 8.9% reduction in customer bills in advance of the 2026-2027 winter season – a $158 annual savings for the average residential customer – and bill stability while seeking recovery for investments in the continued delivery of safe, reliable natural gas service, which is the most affordable energy to heat homes and businesses.

  • Also, on June 1, 2026, NJNG filed a base rate case with the BPU, seeking a $157.6 million increase to its base rates. The filing is based on an overall rate of return on rate base of 7.60 percent with a return on common equity of 10.10 percent. The proposed increase reflects a 55.50 percent common equity component.

  • Once all filings are implemented, NJNG anticipates that the overall net result will leave NJNG annualized average customer bills nearly flat compared to today’s rates. Unless otherwise noted, NJNG cannot predict the outcome or ultimate resolution for open regulatory matters.

BGSS Incentive Programs1:

  • BGSS incentive programs contributed $20.4 million to utility gross margin during the first nine months of fiscal 2026, compared with $14.5 million for the same period in fiscal 2025. This increase was primarily driven by increased margins from off-system sales and capacity release due to market volatility as a result of colder weather.

1

BGSS incentive savings represent value created through supply and capacity optimization and shared with customers through the BGSS clause.

For more information on utility gross margin, please see “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below.

Energy-Efficiency Programs:

  • SAVEGREEN® invested $78.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2026 in energy-efficiency upgrades for customers’ homes and businesses. Investments in SAVEGREEN® are incremental to rate base and earn near-real time returns through an annual recovery mechanism.

  • More than 115,000 customers have taken part in SAVEGREEN® to date, with those utilizing our whole home offerings realizing bill savings of up to 30%.

Clean Energy Ventures (CEV)

CEV reported fiscal 2026 third-quarter net financial loss of $(0.3) million, compared with $(6.9) million during the third quarter of fiscal 2025, reflecting higher revenue, partially offset by higher depreciation and interest expense associated with capital invested over the past year.

Fiscal 2026 year-to-date NFE totaled $4.1 million, compared with NFE of $37.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a gain from the sale of CEV’s residential solar portfolio assets that was recognized in the prior year period.

Solar Investment Update:

  • During the first nine months of fiscal 2026, CEV placed eight commercial projects into service, adding 57.8 megawatts (MW)* to installed capacity.

  • As of June 30, 2026, CEV had approximately 537MW of commercial solar capacity in service across New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Indiana, and Michigan.

* All MWs noted in DC

Storage and Transportation (S&T)

S&T reported fiscal 2026 third-quarter NFE of $8.8 million, compared with NFE of $5.9 million during the same period in fiscal 2025. Fiscal 2026 year-to-date NFE totaled $23.8 million, compared with NFE of $13.9 million for the same period in fiscal 2025.

NFE increased during both periods mainly due to higher operating income at Adelphia Gateway (Adelphia) primarily due to the impact of its Section 4 rate case settlement and higher firm storage rates at Leaf River.

Energy Services (ES)

ES reported fiscal 2026 third-quarter net financial loss of $(4.0) million, remaining largely flat compared with net financial loss of $(3.7) million for the same period in fiscal 2025.

Fiscal 2026 year-to-date NFE totaled $84.5 million, compared with NFE of $39.4 million for the same period in fiscal 2025. The increase in NFE was primarily due to higher natural gas price volatility that allowed ES to capture additional financial margin.

Home Services and Other Operations

Home Services and Other Operations reported fiscal 2026 third-quarter NFE of $0.6 million, compared with $0.5 million for the same period in fiscal 2025.

Fiscal 2026 year-to-date NFE totaled $0.8 million, compared with NFE of $0.4 million for the same period in fiscal 2025.

Capital Expenditures and Cash Flows:

  • During the first nine months of fiscal 2026, capital expenditures were $553.0 million, including accruals, compared with $456.8 million during the same period in fiscal 2025. The increase in capital expenditures was primarily due to higher expenditures at NJNG and CEV.

  • NJR expects to deploy between $4.8 billion and $5.2 billion in capital expenditures through 2030, with utility spending at NJNG representing over 60% of the investment, all planned CEV capital expenditures safe-harbored to preserve tax credit eligibility, and strategic growth opportunities at S&T supporting long-term value creation.

  • During the first nine months of fiscal 2026, cash flows from operations increased to $577.8 million, compared to cash flows from operations of $385.2 million in the same period in fiscal 2025, due primarily to an increase in financial margin at ES and higher base rates at NJNG.

Forward-Looking Statements:

This earnings release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. NJR cautions readers that the assumptions forming the basis for forward-looking statements include many factors that are beyond NJR’s ability to control or estimate precisely, such as expectations regarding future market conditions and the behavior of other market participants. Words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “may,” “will,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “should” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements and such forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s current expectations, assumptions and beliefs as of this date concerning future developments and their potential effect upon NJR. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with management’s expectations, assumptions and beliefs or that the effect of future developments on NJR will be those anticipated by management. Forward-looking statements in this earnings release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding NJR’s NFEPS guidance for fiscal 2026, projected NFEPS growth rates and our guidance range, forecasted contributions of business segments to NJR’s NFE for fiscal 2026, our capital plan through 2030, including our capital expenditure projections through 2030, infrastructure programs and investments, future decarbonization opportunities including IIP, Energy Efficiency programs; the outcome or timing of our Base Rate Case and other filings with the BPU, and other legal and regulatory expectations and statements that include other projections, predictions, expectations or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact.

Additional information and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from NJR’s expectations are contained in NJR’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including NJR’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other SEC filings, which are available at the SEC’s website, http://www.sec.gov. Information included in this earnings release is representative as of today only and while NJR periodically reassesses material trends and uncertainties affecting NJR’s results of operations and financial condition in connection with its preparation of management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition contained in its Quarterly and Annual Reports filed with the SEC, NJR does not, by including this statement, assume any obligation to review or revise any particular forward-looking statement referenced herein in light of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Information:

This earnings release includes the non-GAAP financial measures NFE/net financial loss, NFE per basic share, financial margin and utility gross margin. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP can be found below. As an indicator of NJR’s operating performance, these measures should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or operating revenues as determined in accordance with GAAP. This information has been provided pursuant to the requirements of SEC Regulation G.

NFE and financial margin exclude unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments related to NJR’s unregulated subsidiaries and certain realized gains and losses on derivative instruments related to natural gas that has been placed into storage at ES, net of applicable tax adjustments as described below. Financial margin also differs from gross margin as defined on a GAAP basis as it excludes certain operations and maintenance expense and depreciation and amortization expenses as well as the effects of derivatives as discussed above. Volatility associated with the change in value of these financial instruments and physical commodity reported on the income statement in the current period. In order to manage its business, NJR views its results without the impacts of the unrealized gains and losses, and certain realized gains and losses, caused by changes in value of these financial instruments and physical commodity contracts prior to the completion of the planned transaction because it shows changes in value currently instead of when the planned transaction ultimately is settled. An annual estimated effective tax rate is calculated for NFE purposes and any necessary quarterly tax adjustment is applied to ES.

NJNG’s utility gross margin is defined as operating revenues less natural gas purchases, sales tax, and regulatory rider expenses. This measure differs from gross margin as presented on a GAAP basis as it excludes certain operations and maintenance expense and depreciation and amortization. Utility gross margin may also not be comparable to the definition of gross margin used by others in the natural gas distribution business and other industries. Management believes that utility gross margin provides a meaningful basis for evaluating utility operations since natural gas costs, sales tax and regulatory rider expenses are included in operating revenues and passed through to customers and, therefore, have no effect on utility gross margin.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures to other GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of NJR’s performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are more reflective of NJR’s business model, provide transparency to investors and enable period-to-period comparability of financial performance. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP can be found below. For a full discussion of NJR’s non-GAAP financial measures, please see NJR’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Item 7.

NFE is a measure of earnings based on the elimination of timing differences surrounding the recognition of certain gains or losses to effectively match the earnings effects of the economic hedges with the physical sale of natural gas and, therefore, eliminate the impact of volatility to GAAP earnings associated with the derivative instruments. To the extent we utilize forwards, future or other derivatives to hedge natural gas transactions and forecasted SREC production, the resulting unrealized gains and losses are also eliminated from NFE. ES economically hedges its natural gas inventory with financial derivative instruments and calculates the related tax effect based on the statutory rate. NFE also excludes certain transactions associated with equity method investments, including impairment charges, which are non-cash charges, and return of capital in excess of the carrying value of our investment. These are not indicative of the Company’s performance for its ongoing operations. Included in the tax effects are current and deferred income tax expense corresponding with the components of NFE.
