Over the five-year period, NiSource Inc. shows a notable turnaround in its profitability metrics. In 2020, the company recorded a revenue of $4,473.2 million with a gross profit of $1,211 million and an operating income of $550.8 million; however, the net income was a slight loss at –$17.6 million. A dramatic shift is observed in 2021 when revenues increased to $4,731.3 million and operating income almost doubled to $1,006.9 million, leading to a significant net income jump to $584.9 million. While gross profit data becomes unavailable post-2020—possibly indicating a change in reporting standards or classification—the steady improvement in operating margins suggests enhanced operational efficiency and cost management. From 2021 onwards, revenue continued to grow sharply to $5,738.6 million in 2022 (an increase of over 21% from 2021) before moderating to $5,347.8 million in 2023 and $5,282.9 million in 2024. Operating income climbed consistently, reaching $1,455.5 million in 2024, and net income, after peaking at $804.1 million in 2022, experienced a temporary dip in 2023, followed by a recovery to $760.4 million in 2024. These trends reflect strong underlying profitability and operational performance, despite some revenue fluctuations likely driven by broader market dynamics within the regulated utility sector. Overall, NiSource's recovery from the 2020 setback and its robust subsequent growth signal a sound financial footing and a sustainable business model in a competitive industry.
