FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this presentation may relate to our future business and financial performance and future events or developments involving

us and our subsidiaries that are not purely historical and may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private

Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “may,”

“will,” “should,” “can,” “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects,” “assumes,” “guides,” “targets,” “forecasts,” “is

confident that” and “seeks” or the negative of such terms or other variations on such terms or comparable terminology. Such forward-looking

statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our plans, objectives and intentions, outlooks or expectations for earnings,

revenues, expenses or other future financial or business performance, strategies or expectations, or the impact of legal or regulatory matters on

our business, results of operations or financial condition. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our

management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially. Important

factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the

risks and uncertainties set forth under the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and available on our investor

relations website at www.avangrid.com and on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Additional information will also be set forth in subsequent

filings with the SEC. You should consider these factors carefully in evaluating for-ward looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or

uncertainties materialize, or should any of the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those

expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We do

not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this

presentation whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, AVANGRID considers certain non-GAAP

financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including adjusted net income and adjusted EPS. The non-GAAP

financial measures we use are specific to AVANGRID and the non-GAAP financial measures of other companies may not be calculated in the

same manner. We use these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to U.S. GAAP measures, to establish operating budgets and operational

goals to manage and monitor our business, evaluate our operating and financial performance and to compare such performance to prior periods

and to the performance of our competitors. We believe that presenting such non-GAAP financial measures is useful because such measures can

be used to analyze and compare profitability between companies and industries because it eliminates the impact of financing and certain non-

cash charges. In addition, we present non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that they and other similar measures are widely used

by certain investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as supplemental measures of performance.

We provide adjusted net income, which is adjusted to reflect the full nine month pro forma results of the merged UIL entities, the costs of the

combination of AVANGRID with UIL, and the impairment of certain investments and excludes the sale of certain equity investments and certain

mark-to-market changes in the fair value of derivative instruments used by AVANGRID to economically hedge market price fluctuations in related

underlying physical transactions for the purchase and sale of electricity and gas. We believe adjusted net income is more useful in understanding

and evaluating actual and projected financial performance and contribution of AVANGRID lines of business and to more fully compare and

explain our results. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to adjusted net income is net income. We also provide adjusted EPS,

which is adjusted net income converted to an earnings per share amount.

The use of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, AVANGRID’s U.S.

GAAP financial information, and investors are cautioned that the non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness, may be unique to

AVANGRID, and should be considered only as a supplement to AVANGRID’s U.S. GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures

may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and have limitations as analytical tools. Non-GAAP financial

measures are not primary measurements of our performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to operating

income, net income or any other performance measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
