NiSource initiated the multi-year Value Captured program in the first quarter of 2026 to accelerate operational efficiencies, evaluate target operating models and improve scalability in response to customer affordability concerns. The first internal functional reorganization began in the second quarter and resulted in involuntary employee separations covered by the existing severance policy. The reorganization remains ongoing and is expected to produce additional impacts, while Value Captured costs reduced six-month Columbia and NIPSCO operating results by $2.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively.
