Exhibit 99.1

Eversource Energy

Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results

HARTFORD, Conn. and BOSTON, Mass.

(July 30, 2026) – Eversource Energy (“Eversource” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ES) today reported

GAAP earnings of $53.7 million, or $0.14 per share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared with GAAP and non-GAAP earnings of $352.7

million, or $0.96 per share, for the second quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP recurring earnings totaled $329.1 million1, or $0.87

per share1, in the second quarter of 2026.

For the first half of 2026, Eversource

reported GAAP earnings of $660.5 million, or $1.75 per share, compared with GAAP and non-GAAP earnings of $903.5 million, or $2.45 per

share, for the first half of 2025. Non-GAAP recurring earnings totaled $979.8 million1, or $2.60 per share1, in

the first half of 2026.

GAAP results for the second quarter

and first half of 2026 include a non-cash, after-tax charge of $111.4 million, or $0.30 per share, related to the sale of Aquarion Water

Company on June 30, 2026 and an after-tax charge of $164.0 million, or $0.43 per share, related to an increase in Eversource's offshore

wind contingent liability for expected future payments to Global Infrastructure Partners as part of the September 30, 2024 sale

of the South Fork Wind and Revolution Wind projects. GAAP results for the first half of 2026 include an after-tax charge of $43.9 million,

or $0.12 per share, related to estimated refunds associated with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) decision of March 19,

2026, that reduced the return on equity (ROE) rate for New England transmission owners from 10.57% to 9.57%.

“During the second quarter, we

completed our strategic divestiture of Aquarion Water, further strengthening our balance sheet and positioning Eversource for continued

success as a pure-play regulated electric and natural gas delivery company. This focused strategy has already created new opportunities,

including our preliminary selection by ISO-NE to develop critical transmission infrastructure that will bring power from northern Maine

to southern New England. We are very pleased that the incumbent utilities have been selected for this important project.” said

Joe Nolan, Chairman, President and CEO. “As we enter the second half of the year, our priorities remain clear: operating safely

and efficiently, delivering reliable service to our customers, executing on our strategic investments and maintaining the financial strength

that supports long-term value creation,” said Nolan.

The Company reaffirms its revised earnings

guidance for 2026 non-GAAP recurring earnings of between $4.57 per share1 and $4.72 per share1, which includes

the impact of the prospective reduction to the transmission ROE rate resulting from the March 2026 FERC order and the absence of

Aquarion earnings in the second half of the year. It also reaffirms its cumulative long-term earnings per share growth rate within the

range of 5 to 7 percent through 2030, using the adjusted 2026 non-GAAP earnings guidance midpoint of $4.65 per share1 as the

base year. Eversource expects annual earnings growth towards the upper half of its long-term guidance by 2028.

Electric Transmission

Eversource Energy’s transmission

segment, excluding the FERC ROE refund charge noted above, earned $183.7 million in the second quarter of 2026 and $408.0 million1

in the first half of 2026, compared with earnings of $208.0 million in the second quarter of 2025 and $407.5 million in the first half

of 2025. Transmission segment results in both periods reflect the impact from the reduction to the allowed ROE mentioned above, as well

as higher interest expense, partially offset by continued investment in Eversource’s electric transmission system.

Electric Distribution

Eversource Energy’s electric distribution

segment earned $170.4 million in the second quarter of 2026 and $373.1 million in the first half of 2026, compared with earnings of $161.5

million in the second quarter of 2025 and $350.0 million in the first half of 2025. Improved results in both periods were due primarily

to higher revenues from base distribution rate increases at Eversource’s Massachusetts and New Hampshire electric businesses, and

continued investments in the Company’s distribution system. The higher revenues were partially offset by higher interest expense,

depreciation, and property taxes.

Natural Gas Distribution

Eversource Energy’s natural gas

distribution segment earned $29.7 million in the second quarter of 2026 and $325.1 million in the first half of 2026, compared with earnings

of $35.3 million in the second quarter of 2025 and $253.7 million in the first half of 2025. Improved results in the first half were

due primarily to base distribution rate increases at all of Eversource’s gas businesses, effective November 1, 2025, to recover

continued investment in the Company’s natural gas infrastructure, partially offset by higher Operations and Maintenance (O&M),

depreciation, property and income taxes, and interest expense. Lower results in the quarter were due primarily to the absence of a benefit

in 2025 from previously expensed costs allowed for recovery.

Water Distribution

Eversource Energy’s water distribution

segment, excluding the charge related to the sale of Aquarion noted above, earned $11.6 million1 in the second quarter of

2026 and $17.9 million1 in the first half of 2026, compared with earnings of $14.4 million in the second quarter of 2025 and

$17.9 million in the first half of 2025. Lower results in the second quarter were due primarily to higher O&M and depreciation expense,

partially offset by higher revenues.

Eversource Parent and Other Companies

Eversource Energy parent and other companies,

excluding the increase in the offshore wind contingent liability noted above, had a loss of $66.3 million1 in the second quarter

of 2026 and $144.3 million1 in the first half of 2026, compared with a loss of $66.5 million in the second quarter of 2025

and $125.6 million in the first half of 2025. Results in both periods were driven by higher interest expense and a higher effective tax

rate.

1 All per-share amounts

in this news release are reported on a diluted basis. The only common equity securities that are publicly traded are common shares of

Eversource Energy. The earnings discussion includes financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles

(non-GAAP) referencing 2026 earnings and EPS excluding a charge on the sale of the Aquarion water distribution business, a charge associated

with increasing the offshore wind contingent liability, and a charge related to the March 2026 FERC decision in the FERC base ROE

complaints. EPS by business is also a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by dividing the Net Income Attributable to Common

Shareholders of each business by the weighted average diluted Eversource Energy common shares outstanding for the period. The earnings

and EPS of each business do not represent a direct legal interest in the assets and liabilities of such business, but rather represent

a direct interest in Eversource Energy’s assets and liabilities as a whole.

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 results without

including these items. This information is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating performance and planning

and forecasting of future periods. Management believes the loss on the sale of the Aquarion water distribution business, the charge associated

with increasing our offshore wind contingent liability, and the charge related to the March 2026 FERC decision in the FERC base

ROE complaints are not indicative of Eversource Energy's ongoing costs and performance. Management views these charges as not directly

related to the ongoing operations of the business and therefore not indicators of baseline operating performance. Due to the nature and

significance of the effect of these items on Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders and EPS, management believes that the non-GAAP

presentation is a more meaningful representation of Eversource Energy's financial performance and provides additional and useful information

to readers of this report in analyzing historical and future performance of the business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not

be considered as alternatives to reported Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders or EPS determined in accordance with GAAP as

indicators of Eversource Energy's operating performance.

Eversource Energy does not provide

a reconciliation of guidance from non-GAAP recurring earnings or non-GAAP recurring EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measures

because it is not able to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or nature of all items that will be included in Net Income Attributable

to Common Shareholders or EPS for the year ending December 31, 2026. These items are uncertain, depend on many factors and could

have a material impact on Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders and EPS for the year ending December 31, 2026, and therefore

cannot be made available without unreasonable effort.

Eversource Energy makes statements

concerning its expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, assumptions of future events, future financial performance

or growth and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are “forward-looking statements” within the

meaning of U. S. federal securities laws. Readers can generally identify these forward-looking statements through the use of words or

phrases such as “estimate,” “expect,” “pending,” “anticipate,” “intend,”

“plan,” “project,” “believe,” “forecast,” “would,” “should,”

“could” and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results

or outcomes to differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements. 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 projections 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 actual results or outcomes to differ materially

from those contained in forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to cyber events or breaches, including acts of war or

terrorism, affecting our systems or the systems of third parties on which we rely; unauthorized access to, and the misappropriation of,

confidential and proprietary Company, customer, employee, financial or system operating information; actions or inaction of local, state

and federal regulatory, public policy and taxing bodies; changes in laws, regulations, Presidential executive orders or regulatory policy,

including compliance with laws and regulations, which may impact the cost of compliance and strategic initiatives of the Company; adverse

publicity, which can harm our reputation, influence legislative and regulatory bodies, and result in unfavorable outcomes; variability

in the costs and final investment returns of the Revolution Wind and South Fork Wind offshore wind projects as it relates to the purchase

price post-closing adjustment under the terms of the sale agreement for these projects; the ability to qualify for investment tax credits;

extreme weather, including severe storms, due to the impacts of climate change, and fluctuations in weather patterns; physical attacks

or grid disturbances that may damage and disrupt our electric transmission and electric and natural gas distribution systems; ability

or inability to commence and complete our major strategic development projects and opportunities; breakdown, failure of, or damage to

operating equipment, information technology systems, or processes of our transmission and distribution systems; changes in levels or

timing of capital expenditures, including unplanned expenditures and increased capital expenditure requirements; changes in business

conditions, which could include disruptive technology or development of alternative energy sources related to our current or future business

model; substandard performance of third-party suppliers and service providers, or counterparties not meeting their obligations; limits

on our access to, or increases in, the cost of capital, including disruptions in the capital markets or other events that make our access

to necessary capital more difficult or costly; changes in economic conditions, including impact on interest rates, tax policies, tariffs

and customer demand and payment ability; changes in accounting standards and financial reporting regulations; actions of rating agencies;

and other presently unknown or unforeseen factors.

Other risk factors are detailed in

Eversource Energy’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). They are updated as necessary and available

on Eversource Energy’s website at investors.eversource.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, and management encourages

you to consult such disclosures.

All such factors are difficult to

predict and contain uncertainties that may materially affect Eversource Energy’s actual results, many of which are beyond our control.

You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, as each speaks only as of the date on which such statement is

made, and, except as required by federal securities laws, Eversource Energy undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement

or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated

events.

Q2 2026 EARNINGS REPORT July 31, 2026 JULY 31, 2026 Eversource Energy Q2 2026 Earnings Report Exhibit 99.3

Q2 2026 EARNINGS REPORT July 31, 2026 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 discussion includes financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (non - GAAP) referencing 2026 earnings and EPS excluding a charg e on the sale of the Aquarion water distribution business, a charge associated with increasing the offshore wind contingent liability, and a charge related to the March 2026 FERC decision in the FERC base ROE complaints. EP S b y business is also a non - GAAP financial measure and is calculated by dividing the Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders of each business by the weighted average diluted Eversource Energy common shares outstand ing for the period. The earnings and EPS of each business do not represent a direct legal interest in the assets and liabilities of such business, but rather represent a direct interest in Eversource Energy’s assets and liabili tie s as a whole. 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 results without including these items. This information i s a mong the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating performance and planning and forecasting of future periods. Management believes the loss on the sale of the Aquarion water distribution business, the cha rge associated with increasing our offshore wind contingent liability, and the charge related to the March 2026 FERC decision in the FERC base ROE complaints are not indicative of Eversource Energy's ongoing costs and performance. Man agement views these charges as not directly related to the ongoing operations of the business and therefore not indicators of baseline operating performance. Due to the nature and significance of the effect of these items on Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders and EPS, management believes that the non - GAAP presentation is a more meaningful representation of Eversource Energy's financial performance and provides additional and use ful information to readers of this report in analyzing historical and future performance of the business. These non - GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to reported Net Income Attributable to Common Shareho lders or EPS determined in accordance with GAAP as indicators of Eversource Energy's operating performance. Eversource Energy does not provide a reconciliation of guidance from non - GAAP recurring earnings or non - GAAP recurring EPS to th e most directly comparable GAAP measures because it is not able to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or nature of all items that will be included in Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders or EPS for the year en ding December 31, 2026. These items are uncertain, depend on many factors and could have a material impact on Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders and EPS for the year ending December 31, 2026, and therefore cannot be made available without unreasonable effort. Eversource Energy makes statements concerning its expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, assumptions of fu ture events, future financial performance or growth and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are “forward - looking statements” within the meaning of U. S. federal securities laws. Readers can generally id entify these forward - looking statements through the use of words or phrases such as “estimate,” “expect,” “pending,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “believe,” “forecast,” “would,” “should,” “could” and other similar exp res sions. Forward - looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those included in the forward - looking statements. Forward - looking statements are based on the current ex pectations, estimates, assumptions or projections of management and are not guarantees of future performance. These expectations, estimates, assumptions or projections may vary materially from actual results. Accordingly , a ny such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are accompanied by, the following important factors that may cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in forward - looking stateme nts, including, but not limited to cyber events or breaches, including acts of war or terrorism, affecting our systems or the systems of third parties on which we rely; unauthorized access to, and the misappropriation of, confidenti al and proprietary Company, customer, employee, financial or system operating information; actions or inaction of local, state and federal regulatory, public policy and taxing bodies; changes in laws, regulations, Presidential exe cutive orders or regulatory policy, including compliance with laws and regulations, which may impact the cost of compliance and strategic initiatives of the Company; adverse publicity, which can harm our reputation, influence legislati ve and regulatory bodies, and result in unfavorable outcomes; variability in the costs and final investment returns of the Revolution Wind and South Fork Wind offshore wind projects as it relates to the purchase price post - closing adjus tment under the terms of the sale agreement for these projects; the ability to qualify for investment tax credits; extreme weather, including severe storms, due to the impacts of climate change, and fluctuations in weather patterns ; p hysical attacks or grid disturbances that may damage and disrupt our electric transmission and electric and natural gas distribution systems; ability or inability to commence and complete our major strategic development projects and opp ortunities; breakdown, failure of, or damage to operating equipment, information technology systems, or processes of our transmission and distribution systems; changes in levels or timing of capital expenditures, including unp lan ned expenditures and increased capital expenditure requirements; changes in business conditions, which could include disruptive technology or development of alternative energy sources related to our current or future business mo del ; substandard performance of third - party suppliers and service providers, or counterparties not meeting their obligations; limits on our access to, or increases in, the cost of capital, including disruptions in the capital market s o r other events that make our access to necessary capital more difficult or costly; changes in economic conditions, including impact on interest rates, tax policies, tariffs and customer demand and payment ability; changes in accounting stan dar ds and financial reporting regulations; actions of rating agencies; and other presently unknown or unforeseen factors. Other risk factors are detailed in Eversource Energy’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). They ar e updated as necessary and available on Eversource Energy’s website at investors.eversource.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov , and management encourages you to consult such disclosures. All such factors are difficult to predict and contain uncertainties that may materially affect Eversource Energy’s actual res ult s, many of which are beyond our control. You should not place undue reliance on the forward - looking statements, as each speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and, except as required by federal securities la ws, Eversource Energy undertakes no obligation to update any forward - looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipat ed events.
