CenterPoint Energy Reports Strong Q1 2021 Earnings
I strongly believe that the strategy we laid out and the progress we have made so far more than demonstrates the unique value proposition CenterPoint offers,\xe2\x80\x9d said Dave Lesar.\nGiven the recently announced merger between Enable and Energy Transfer, CenterPoint Energy will only be presenting a Utility EPS guidance range for 2021 as Enable did not provide 2021 guidance during its recent earnings call.\nIn addition to presenting its financial results in accordance with GAAP, including presentation of income (loss) available to common shareholders and diluted earnings (loss) per share, CenterPoint Energy provides guidance based on non-GAAP income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share.

- In addition, the 2021 Utility EPS guidance range assumes a continued re-opening of the economy in CenterPoint Energy\xe2\x80\x99s service territories throughout 2021.
- CenterPoint Energy will continue to record its share of Enable\xe2\x80\x99s earnings as well as basis difference accretion, earnings from the Enable preferred distributions net of an associated amount of debt, interest on the Midstream note, and an allocation of corporate overhead based on Midstream Investment segment\xe2\x80\x99s relative earnings contribution until the transaction closes.\nUpon closing of the transaction, CenterPoint Energy\xe2\x80\x99s investment in Energy Transfer will be accounted for as an equity method investment with a fair value option.
