INCREASES NET FINANCIAL EARNINGS GUIDANCE FOR FISCAL 2026
WALL, N.J., February 2, 2026 - New Jersey Resources Corporation (NYSE: NJR) today reported financial and operating results for its fiscal 2026 first quarter ended December 31, 2025.
Financial Highlights:
- Fiscal 2026 first-quarter consolidated net income of $122.5 million, or $1.22 per share, compared with $131.3 million, or $1.32 per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2025
- Fiscal 2026 first-quarter consolidated net financial earnings (NFE), a non-GAAP financial measure, of $118.2 million, or $1.17 per share, compared with $128.9 million, or $1.29 per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a gain on sale of Clean Energy Ventures’ (CEV) residential solar portfolio assets that was recognized in the prior-year period, partially offset by higher year-over-year NFE from New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG), Storage and Transportation (S&T), and Energy Services (ES).
Fiscal 2026 Outlook
- Increases fiscal 2026 net financial earnings per share (NFEPS) guidance to a range of $3.28 to $3.43, from $3.03 to $3.18, a $0.25 increase, as a result of the strong performance of Energy Services in January 2026
- Maintains 7 to 9 percent long-term net financial earnings per share (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, “NJR is off to a strong start in fiscal 2026. Our performance in the beginning of our fiscal second quarter has exceeded our original projections, as Energy Services benefited from natural gas price volatility. As a result, we are raising our fiscal 2026 NFEPS guidance range by $0.25 to $3.28 to $3.43. This represents the sixth consecutive year in which NJR has raised its guidance as a result of the benefits of our diversified energy platform.”
Mr. Westhoven continued, “We are focused on delivering reliable, affordable energy to our New Jersey Natural Gas customers, pursuing growth opportunities across our Storage and Transportation business, and expanding capacity at Clean Energy Ventures. As we look ahead, we remain committed to disciplined execution and creating long-term value for our shareowners.”

Fiscal 2026 NFEPS Guidance
NJR is raising its fiscal 2026 NFEPS guidance range by $0.25 to a range of $3.28 to $3.43, 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 | 62 to 67 percent |
|---|
| Clean Energy Ventures | 9 to 14 percent |
|---|
| Storage and Transportation | 7 to 12 percent |
|---|
| Energy Services | 12 to 17 percent |
|---|
| Home Services and Other | 1 to 2 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.

NJR Reports Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Results
New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG)
NJNG reported fiscal 2026 first-quarter NFE of $83.8 million, compared to NFE of $66.9 million during the same period in fiscal 2025. The improvement in NFE was primarily driven by NJNG’s base rate case settlement fully impacting utility gross margin for the first-quarter of 2026 while only partially affecting it during the first-quarter of last year. This improvement was partially offset by higher depreciation expense.
Customers:
- At December 31, 2025, NJNG serviced approximately 592,000 customers in New Jersey’s Monmouth, Ocean, Morris, Middlesex, Sussex and Burlington counties, compared to approximately 589,000 customers as of September 30, 2025.
Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS) Incentive Programs:
- BGSS incentive programs contributed $5.6 million to utility gross margin during the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with $3.2 million in the first quarter of 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.
For more information on utility gross margin, please see “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below.
Energy-Efficiency Programs:
- SAVEGREEN® invested $26.7 million in the first quarter 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 a rider that is updated annually.
Clean Energy Ventures (CEV)
CEV reported fiscal 2026 first-quarter NFE of $9.6 million, compared with $48.1 million during the same period in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a one-time gain on sale of CEV’s residential solar portfolio assets in November 2024.
Solar Investment Update:
- During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, CEV placed two commercial projects into service, adding 9.7 megawatts (MW)* to installed capacity.
- As of December 31, 2025, CEV had approximately 489MW 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 first-quarter NFE of $7.4 million, compared with NFE of $5.7 million during the same period in fiscal 2025. NFE increased during the period mainly due to higher operating income at Adelphia Gateway (Adelphia) due to the impact of its recent Section 4 rate case settlement.
- Adelphia: On November 4, 2025, Adelphia completed its Section 4 rate case process with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), receiving an order approving settlement.
- Leaf River Energy Center (Leaf River): On October 31, 2025 Leaf River submitted an application to FERC to increase its natural gas storage capacity by 17.6 BCF through expansion of existing caverns and the development of an additional fourth cavern.
NJR Reports Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Results
Energy Services (ES)
ES reported fiscal 2026 first-quarter NFE of $16.3 million, compared with NFE of $7.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2025. The increase in NFE was primarily due to higher natural gas price volatility during the period that allowed ES to capture additional financial margin.
Home Services and Other Operations
Home Services and Other Operations reported fiscal 2026 first-quarter NFE of $0.5 million, compared with NFE of $0.6 million for the same period in fiscal 2025..
Capital Expenditures and Cash Flows:
- During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, capital expenditures were $163.6 million, including accruals, compared with $149.6 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 quarter of fiscal 2026, cash flows from operations increased to $26.7 million, compared to cash flows used in operations of $9.0 million in the same period in fiscal 2025, due primarily to an increase in base rates at NJNG.

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; 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.
NJR Reports Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Results
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 Energy Services, 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 NJR Energy Services Company.
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 to effectively match the earnings effects of the economic hedges with the physical sale of natural gas, SRECs and foreign currency contracts. Consequently, to reconcile net income and NFE, current-period unrealized gains and losses on the derivatives are excluded from NFE as a reconciling item. Realized derivative gains and losses are also included in current-period net income. However, NFE includes only realized gains and losses related to natural gas sold out of inventory, effectively matching the full earnings effects of the derivatives with realized margins on physical natural gas flows. 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.
