Adjusted second quarter and first half of 2025 net income and adjusted EPS exclude transaction and business development costs including the effects of the SiEnergy and Pines Gas transactions.
2 EPS growth forecasted for period 2026 – 2030 compounded annually; EPS growth rate uses adjusted 2025 EPS as base year. Long-term growth rate target with MX3 assumes in-service date prior to the end of 2029. NW Natural Holdings does not provide a reconciliation of the adjusted EPS growth rate target to the most directly comparable GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain significant items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP-reported results for the relevant period.

KEY EVENTS
Washington Commission Approved New Rates for NW Natural
On July 29, 2026, the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC) issued an order approving the multi-party settlement in Northwest Natural Gas Company's (NW Natural) multi-year general rate case. The order increased the annual revenue requirement over three years, consisting of a $20.1 million revenue increase in the first year beginning Aug. 1, 2026, a $7.5 million revenue increase in the second year, and a $7.4 million revenue increase in the third year. The order included a capital structure of 50% common equity and 50% long-term debt, a return on equity of 9.5%, and an overall cost of capital of 7.15% beginning in the first year and growing to 7.22% in the third year. Rate base is $328.0 million in the first year, or an increase of $80.7 million since the last rate case. New rates were effective Aug. 1, 2026.
Alternative Rate Mechanism Multi-Party Settlement Filed in Oregon
On June 29, 2026, NW Natural filed a multi-party settlement with the Public Utility Commission of Oregon (OPUC) that addresses all aspects of the revenue requirement items in the alternative rate mechanism (ARM). The settlement provides an increase to the annual revenue requirement of $13.0 million, compared to the original request of $15.6 million. A Commission order is expected later this year with new rates expected to be effective on Oct. 31, 2026.
2026 GUIDANCE AND LONG-TERM TARGETS
We now expect 2026 EPS in the upper half of our guidance range and are reaffirming our long-term targets. This guidance assumes continued customer growth, average weather conditions, and no significant changes in prevailing regulatory policies, mechanisms, or assumed outcomes, or significant local, state or federal laws, legislation or regulations. Required funds for the capital expenditures are expected to be internally generated or financed with long-term debt or equity, as appropriate.

1 See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation to GAAP" for a definition and further information on adjusted EPS. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be
considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are used to analyze our financial performance
because we believe they provide useful information to our investors and creditors in evaluating our financial condition and results of operations.
2 EPS growth forecasted for period 2026 – 2030 compounded annually; EPS growth rate uses adjusted 2025 EPS as the base year. Long-term growth rate target with MX3 assumes in-service date prior to the end of 2029. NW Natural Holdings does not provide a reconciliation of the adjusted EPS growth rate target to the most directly comparable GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain significant items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP-reported results for the relevant period.

2 See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation to GAAP" for additional information on Other and consolidated adjusted net income and adjusted EPS.
NW Natural net income decreased $1.0 million (or $0.03 per share) as higher margin from new rates in Oregon, which were effective Oct. 31, 2025, were more than offset by increased operations and maintenance (O&M) expense and continued investment in the system resulting in higher depreciation expense and financing costs.
SiEnergy net income increased $1.0 million (or $0.02 per share), primarily due to customer growth and the benefit of deferring depreciation and interest costs on investments allowed by Texas House Bill 4384. Results also benefited from a full quarter of earnings contribution from Pines, which was acquired on June 2, 2025.
NWN Water net income decreased $0.6 million (or $0.02 per share) as higher operating revenues driven by rate increases and customer growth were more than offset by increased O&M expenses to support the growth of the business including higher payroll and benefits and technology costs.
Other net loss decreased $3.6 million (or $0.10 per share), primarily due to lower acquisition and business development expenses compared to the prior year. On an adjusted basis, which excludes transaction and business development costs incurred in the second quarter of 2025, net loss decreased $0.8 million (or $0.03 per share) primarily due to higher net income from NW Natural Renewables.

2 See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation to GAAP" for additional information on Other and consolidated adjusted net income and adjusted EPS.
NW Natural net income increased $1.7 million (or decreased $0.05 per share) as higher margin from new rates in Oregon, which were effective Oct. 31, 2025, was partially offset by increased O&M expense and continued investment in the system resulting in higher depreciation expense and financing costs.
SiEnergy net income increased $4.6 million (or $0.11 per share) due to customer growth and the benefit of deferring depreciation and interest costs on investments allowed by Texas House Bill 4384. Additionally, the first half of 2026 reflected a full period of both SiEnergy (acquired on Jan. 7, 2025) and Pines (acquired on June 2, 2025) net income, which had a positive effect on year-over-year results.
NWN Water net income decreased $0.8 million (or $0.02 per share) mainly reflecting higher O&M expense to support
growth and depreciation expense, partially offset by rate increases and customer growth.
Other net loss from the Company's other business activities decreased $7.1 million (or $0.18 per share). On an adjusted basis, which excludes transaction and business development costs, including the SiEnergy and Pines transaction costs in the first half 2025, net loss decreased $0.4 million (or $0.01 per share).

New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Management uses "adjusted net income", "adjusted earnings per share," "adjusted segment net income (loss)," "segment earnings per share” and "adjusted segment earnings per share," each of which are non-GAAP financial measures, when evaluating NW Natural Holdings' overall performance. Management uses non-GAAP measures in making operating decisions because we believe those measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our earning potential and performance for management by excluding certain expenses and charges that may not be indicative of our core business operating results and can affect the comparison of period-over-period results. These adjustments may include transaction and business development costs primarily consisting of professional fees including legal, accounting, financial and other professional fees incurred in connection with business combinations and business development activities. In addition to presenting the results of operations and earnings amounts in total, certain financial measures are expressed in cents per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures. All references to EPS are on the basis of diluted shares.
Such non-GAAP financial measures are used to analyze our financial performance because we believe they provide useful information to our investors and creditors in evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Moreover, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the items associated with the operations of the business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than how such measures are calculated in this release, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is provided in the tables below.
