Fiscal period ending 2025-12-31 versus 2024-12-31 — view filing on EDGAR →
A major strategic pivot into unregulated data center infrastructure (ADS Contract) has materially worsened the risk profile across five distinct themes simultaneously: leverage surged 16% to $16.2B with further significant debt expected, a single customer contract now equals all existing NIPSCO generating capacity creating acute concentration risk, and execution exposure spans construction, financing, and regulatory treatment. The company simultaneously faces an indefinitely deferred coal retirement, a substantially expanded capital program (400 MW battery + two 1,300 MW CCGTs), and a new JV structure — compounding execution and financial risk at a moment of peak capital need. Credit rating pressure, 30%-higher collateral triggers, and potential ASC 980 disallowance on data center assets add solvency-adjacent downside if the commercial strategy underperforms.
