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, Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (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.

Fiscal 2024 NFE Guidance:

NJR re-affirmed its fiscal 2024 NFEPS guidance range of $2.85 to $3.00, which was increased by $0.15 in February 2024, subject to the risks and uncertainties identified below under "Forward-Looking Statements."

In fiscal 2024, NJR expects Energy Services will represent a higher percentage of NFEPS than in prior years due to contributions from the Asset Management Agreements signed in 2020*. The following chart represents NJR’s current expected contributions from its business segments for fiscal 2024:
 
 
Company
  
Expected Fiscal 2024
Net Financial Earnings
Contribution
 
New Jersey Natural Gas
  
43 to 46 percent
 
Clean Energy Ventures
  
11 to 14 percent
 
Storage and Transportation
  
3 to 5 percent
 
Energy Services
  
40 to 43 percent*
 
Home Services and Other
  
0 to 1 percent
* NJR expects to recognize the majority of the fiscal 2024 AMA revenues in the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter

In providing fiscal 2024 NFE guidance, management is aware there could be differences between reported GAAP earnings 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 a third-quarter fiscal 2024 net financial loss of $(6.1) million, compared to NFE of $0.9 million during the same period in fiscal 2023. Fiscal 2024 year-to-date NFE were $152.4 million, compared to NFE of $156.3 million during the same period in fiscal 2023. The decrease in NFE for the quarter and year-to-date period was due primarily to higher employee related expenses and information technology costs, and increased depreciation expenses as a result of continued capital deployment.

NJR Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results
Page 4 of 13
Customer Growth:

•
NJNG added 5,939 new customers during the first nine months of fiscal 2024, compared with 5,892 during the same period of fiscal 2023. NJNG expects these new customers to contribute approximately $5.1 million of incremental utility gross margin on an annualized basis.

Base Rate Filing:

•
On January 31, 2024, NJNG filed a base rate case with the BPU, seeking a $222.6 million increase to its base rates based on an overall return of 7.57 percent with a return on equity of 10.42 percent. On May 15, 2024, the Company filed an update to its financial schedules in the base rate case filing, which reflects a proposed increase of $219.6 million.


Infrastructure Update:

•
NJNG's Infrastructure Investment Program (IIP) is a five-year, $150 million accelerated recovery program that began in fiscal 2021. IIP consists of a series of infrastructure projects designed to enhance the safety and reliability of NJNG's natural gas distribution system. During the first nine months of fiscal 2024, NJNG spent $22.6 million under the program on various distribution system reinforcement projects.

On March 28, 2024, NJNG submitted its annual IIP filing to the BPU requesting a rate increase for capital expenditures with actual information through February 29, 2024, and forecasted information through June 30, 2024. On July 26, 2024, the Company filed an update with actual information through June 30, 2024 requesting a rate increase for capital expenditures of $43.5 million, which will result in a $5.3 million revenue increase, with a proposed effective date of October 1, 2024.

Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS) Incentive Programs:

BGSS incentive programs contributed $2.9 million to utility gross margin in the third quarters of both fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023. During the first nine months of fiscal 2024, these programs contributed $16.2 million to utility gross margin, compared with $17.4 million during the same period in fiscal 2023.

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

Energy-Efficiency Programs:

SAVEGREEN™ invested $52.4 million year-to-date in fiscal 2024 in energy-efficiency upgrades for customers' homes and businesses. NJNG recovered $22.6 million of its outstanding investments during the first nine months of fiscal 2024 through its energy efficiency rate. On May 31, 2024, NJNG submitted its annual cost recovery filing seeking an increase of $5.6 million.

Clean Energy Ventures (CEV)

CEV reported a third-quarter fiscal 2024 net financial loss of $(6.7) million, compared with NFE of $7.3 million during the same period in fiscal 2023. The decrease in NFE for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was largely due to a reversal of a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets in the prior year period that did not reoccur.

Fiscal 2024 year-to-date net financial loss was $(1.8) million, compared with net financial loss of $(5.7) million during the same period in fiscal 2023. The improvement was due primarily to higher SREC and Transition Renewable Energy Certificate (TREC) revenue for the period, as well as the recognition of Investment Tax Credits associated with solar sale leaseback financing transactions.

Solar Investment Update:

 •
As of June 30, 2024, CEV had approximately 477MW of solar capacity in service in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Indiana, and Michigan.

NJR Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results
Page 5 of 13
Storage and Transportation

Storage and Transportation reported third-quarter fiscal 2024 NFE of $4.1 million, compared with NFE of $2.4 million during the same period in fiscal 2023. Fiscal 2024 year-to-date NFE were $9.8 million, compared with NFE of $11.1 million during the same period in fiscal 2023. NFE for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 increased as a result of higher operating revenues for the period, while the year-to-date decrease in NFE was largely due to higher operating and maintenance expenses.

Energy Services

Energy Services reported third-quarter fiscal 2024 net financial loss of $(2.2) million compared with net financial loss of $(1.6) million for the same period in fiscal 2023. Fiscal 2024 year-to-date NFE were $43.2 million, compared with NFE of $72.1 million during the same period in fiscal 2023. The decrease in fiscal 2024 year-to-date NFE was due primarily to higher natural gas price volatility in the prior year period, largely as a result of Winter Storm Elliott.

Home Services and Other Operations

Home Services and Other Operations reported third-quarter fiscal 2024 NFE of $0.9 million, compared to NFE of $0.5 million for the same period in fiscal 2023. Fiscal 2024 year-to-date NFE was $0.7 million, compared with NFE of $1.3 million during the same period in fiscal 2023.

Capital Expenditures and Cash Flows:

NJR is committed to maintaining a strong financial profile:

•
During the first nine months of fiscal 2024, capital expenditures were $396.5 million, including accruals, compared with $370.0 million during the same period of fiscal 2023. The increase in capital expenditures was primarily due to higher expenditures at NJNG.

•
During the first nine months of fiscal 2024, cash flows from operations were $362.9 million, compared to cash flows from operations of $387.9 million during the same period of fiscal 2023. The decrease was largely due to changes in working capital.

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 estimates of 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, certain statements regarding NJR’s NFEPS guidance for fiscal 2024, projected NFEPS growth rates and our guidance range, forecasted contribution of business segments to NJR’s NFE for fiscal 2024, customer growth at NJNG and their expected contributions, expected contributions from Asset Management Agreements, infrastructure programs and investments, future decarbonization opportunities including IIP, Energy Efficiency programs, including BGSS, the outcome or timing of our Base Rate Case with the BPU, the outcome or timing of our IIP filing to the BPU, and other legal and regulatory expectations.

Additional information and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from NJR’s expectations are contained in NJR’s filings with the 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 web site, 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 future events.

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 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 expense. 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 Report on Form 10-K, Item 7.

Exhibit 99.2

 Fiscal 2024 Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Financial Results  August 2024   Investor Presentation 
 
 Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Measures  Forward-Looking Statements  This presentation 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 estimates of 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 presentation include, but are not limited to, certain statements regarding NJR’s NFEPS guidance for fiscal 2024, including NFEPS guidance by Segment and EPS, long term growth targets and guidance range, long term annual growth projections and targets, Capital Plan expectations, projections of dividend and financing activities, customer growth at NJNG, future NJR and NJNG capital expenditures, potential CEV capital projects, project pipeline (under construction, contract or exclusivity) through Fiscal 2028, total expected shareholder return projections, dividend growth, CEV revenue and service projections, our debt repayment schedule, contributions from Leaf River, Steckman Ridge and Adelphia Gateway, SREC Hedging strategies and Asset Management Agreements, the outcome and timing of Base Rate Cases with the BPU, emissions reduction strategies and clean energy goals, environmental social and governance efforts, rising interest rates, and other legal and regulatory expectations.  Additional information and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from NJR’s expectations are contained in NJR’s filings with the 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 web site, http://www.sec.gov. Information included in this presentation 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 future events.  Non-GAAP Measures  Non-GAAP Measures  This presentation includes the non-GAAP financial measures NFE/net financial loss, NFE per basic share, financial margin, utility gross margin, adjusted funds from operations and adjusted debt. 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 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 expense. 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.   Adjusted funds from operations is cash flows from operating activities, plus components of working capital, cash paid for interest (net of amounts capitalized), capitalized interest, the incremental change in SAVEGREEN loans, grants, rebates, and related investments, and operating lease expense.  Adjusted debt is total long-term and short-term debt, net of cash and cash equivalents, excluding solar asset financing obligations but including solar contractually committed payments for sale lease-backs, debt issuance costs, and other Fitch credit metric adjustments.  Management uses NFE/net financial loss, utility gross margin, financial margin, adjusted funds from operations and adjusted debt, as supplemental measures to other GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the Company’s performance. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are more reflective of the Company’s business model, provide transparency to investors and enable period-to-period comparability of financial performance. In providing NFE guidance, management is aware that there could be differences between reported GAAP earnings and NFE/net financial loss 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. In addition, in making forecasts relating to S&T’s Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted funds from operations and adjusted debt, management is aware that there could be differences between reported GAAP earnings, cash flows from operations and total long-term and short-term debt due to matters such as, but not limited to, the unpredictability and variability of future earnings, working capital and cash positions. Management is not able to reasonably estimate the aggregate impact or significance of these items on reported GAAP measures and therefore is not able to provide a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP equivalent for such forecasts without unreasonable efforts. NFE/net financial loss, utility gross margin and financial margin are discussed more fully in Item 7 of our Report on Form 10-K and, we have provided presentations of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures, NFE/net financial loss, utility gross margin, financial margin, adjusted funds from operations and adjusted debt, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, in the appendix to this presentation. This information has been provided pursuant to the requirements of SEC Regulation G.

 Reconciliation of NFE and NFEPS to Net Income  ($ in 000s)  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, Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (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.  NFE eliminates the impact of volatility to GAAP earnings associated with unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments in the current period  (Unaudited)  Three Months Ended  June 30,  Nine Months Ended  June 30,  2024  2023  2024  2023  NEW JERSEY RESOURCES  A reconciliation of net income, the closest GAAP financial measure, to net financial earnings is as follows:  Net (loss) income  $ (11,574)  $ 1,532   $ 198,649   $ 227,700   Add:  Unrealized loss (gain) on derivative instruments and related transactions   3,803    (12,970)   23,860    (30,502)  Tax effect   (903)   3,083    (5,670)   7,250   Effects of economic hedging related to natural gas inventory   (385)   24,116    (19,458)   36,885   Tax effect   91    (5,731)   4,624    (8,766)  Gain on equity method investment   —    (100)   —    (300)  Tax effect   —    24    —    74   NFE tax adjustment   69    (284)   116    (77)  Net financial (loss) earnings  $ (8,899)  $ 9,670   $ 202,121   $ 232,264   Weighted Average Shares Outstanding  Basic   98,983    97,168    98,409    96,849   Diluted   98,983    97,886    99,213    97,538   A reconciliation of basic earnings per share, the closest GAAP financial measure, to basic net financial earnings per share is as follows:  Basic (loss) earnings per share  $ (0.12)  $ 0.02   $ 2.02   $ 2.35   Add:  Unrealized loss (gain) on derivative instruments and related transactions   0.04    (0.14)   0.24    (0.31)  Tax effect   (0.01)   0.03    (0.06)   0.07   Effects of economic hedging related to natural gas inventory   —    0.25    (0.20)   0.38   Tax effect   —    (0.06)   0.05    (0.09)  Basic net financial (loss) earnings per share  $ (0.09)  $ 0.10   $ 2.05   $ 2.40
