CONNECTICUT LIGHT & POWER CO

We are subject to a variety of significant risks in addition to the matters set forth under our forward-looking statements section in Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We have identified a number of these risk factors in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our 2025 Form 10-K, which risk factors are incorporated herein by reference. These risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating our risk profile. The following risk factor update should be read in conjunction with the risk factors described in the 2025 Form 10-K.

Eversource and other transmission-owning electric companies within ISO-NE have been subject to complaints challenging the reasonableness of our allowed ROEs since 2011. On March 19, 2026, FERC issued an order finding that the base ROE was unjust and unreasonable and setting a new base ROE for the first complaint period and prospectively from October 2014. FERC ordered refunds with interest for those historical refund periods, which are material to us, and dismissed the other three complaints. The material amount of the refunds required by FERC’s order is driven primarily by the length of the retroactive refund period, which spans nearly 12 years. The application of the revised base ROE to revenues collected over this extended historical period substantially increased the aggregate refund obligation compared to what would have resulted from a shorter refund period. The order adversely affects our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, particularly if we seek rehearing or appeal and are unsuccessful, and creates risks regarding our ability to secure acceptable ROEs in future FERC proceedings. See "FERC Regulatory Matters - FERC ROE Complaints," in the accompanying Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 9C, “Commitments and Contingencies - FERC ROE Complaints,” to the financial statements for additional information regarding the financial impact of this order.

Other than as set forth above, there have been no additional risk factors identified and no material changes with regard to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2025 Form 10-K.
