Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp.
Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2025 and 2024
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. ("AQN" or the "Company") is an entity incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. AQN's operations are organized across two business units consisting of (i) the Regulated Services Group, which primarily owns and operates a portfolio of regulated electric, water distribution and wastewater collection, and natural gas utility systems and transmission operations in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Chile; and (ii), the Hydro Group, which consists of hydroelectric-generating facilities located in Canada. Additionally, the Company has a corporate function, the Corporate Group, consisting of corporate and shared services that primarily support the Regulated Services Group and the Hydro Group, in addition to holding certain ancillary investments. In prior periods, AQN included the Renewable Energy Group as a reportable segment; however, as of January 8, 2025, the assets and liabilities of this segment (excluding the Hydro Group) have been disposed and its net earnings have been reported as discontinued operations (the “discontinued operations”) (see note 17).
1.Significant accounting policies
(a)Basis of preparation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and follow disclosure required under Regulation S-X provided by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of AQN as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are of a recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim operations.
The significant accounting policies applied to these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of AQN are consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of AQN as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 with the exception of the tax equity investments policy as described below.
(b)Seasonality
AQN's operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations that could materially impact quarter-to-quarter operating results and, thus, one quarter’s operating results are not necessarily indicative of a subsequent quarter's operating results. Where decoupling mechanisms exist, total volumetric revenue is prescribed by the applicable regulatory authority and is not affected by usage. AQN’s electrical distribution utilities can experience higher or lower demand in the summer or winter depending on the specific regional weather and industry characteristics. AQN’s water and wastewater utility assets’ revenues fluctuate depending on the demand for water, which is normally higher during the drier and hotter months of the summer. During the winter period, natural gas distribution utilities generally experience higher demand than during the summer period. AQN’s hydroelectric energy assets are primarily "run-of-river" and, as such, fluctuate with the natural water flows. During the winter and summer periods, flows are generally slower, while during the spring and fall periods, flows are heavier. For AQN's wind energy assets, wind resources are typically stronger in spring, fall and winter, and weaker in summer. AQN's solar energy assets generally experience greater insulation in summer, weaker in winter.
(c)Foreign currency translation
AQN’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Within these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company denotes any amounts denominated in Canadian dollars with "C$", in Chilean pesos with "CLP" and in Chilean Unidad de Fomento with "CLF" immediately prior to the stated amount.







Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp.
Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2025 and 2024
1.Significant accounting policies (continued)
(d)Tax equity investments
As part of the disposition of the Company’s renewable energy business, the Company retained tax equity investments in seven renewable energy projects. These investments were previously considered intercompany investments and eliminated upon consolidation.
The Company elected to account for three eligible tax equity investments using the Proportional Amortization Method (“PAM”) as outlined in ASU 2023-02 Investments - Equity Method & Joint Ventures: Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method.
The PAM requires the cost of eligible investments to be amortized in proportion to the tax benefits received with the resulting amortization reported directly in income tax expense, which aligns with the associated tax credits and other tax benefits.
Delayed equity contributions that are unconditional and legally binding or conditional and probable of occurring are recorded in other liabilities with a corresponding increase in the carrying value of the investment. The Company is required to reevaluate eligible investments when significant modifications or events occur that result in a change in the nature of the investment or a change in the Company’s relationship with the underlying project. During the period, there were no significant modifications or events that resulted in a change in the nature of an eligible investment or a change in the Company's relationship with the underlying projects.
Tax equity investments not eligible for the PAM are recorded at cost.
See note 6 for additional details.
(e)Discontinued operations
On August 9, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its renewable energy business (excluding hydro) to a wholly-owned subsidiary of LS Power (“LS Buyer”) (the “Renewables Sale”). The Company concluded that the consolidated assets within the renewable energy business being sold have met the accounting requirements to be presented as “Held for Sale” in the third quarter of 2024 based on the receipt of final commercial terms, approval of the board of directors of the Company to consummate the transaction, and the signing of the sale agreement all occurring within the third quarter of 2024. As a result, the renewable energy business (excluding hydro) has been classified as "discontinued operations".
AQN has elected to present the cash flows of discontinued operations combined with cash flows of continuing operations. No interest from corporate level debt was allocated to discontinued operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax on AQN’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, includes amounts related to non-controlling interests where applicable. A portion of non-controlling interest on AQN’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet relates to discontinued operations for the periods presented.
On January 8, 2025, the Company completed the Renewables Sale.
Unless otherwise noted, the notes to these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements exclude amounts related to discontinued operations for all periods presented.
See note 17 for discussion of discontinued operations related to the disposition of the renewable energy business.
2.     Recently issued accounting pronouncements

3.Business acquisitions and dispositions
There were no acquisitions or dispositions as part of the continuing operations during the quarter. See note 17 for a discussion of the disposition of the renewable energy business.
4.Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables as of March 31, 2025 include unbilled revenue of $97.6 million (December 31, 2024 - $120.2 million) from the Company’s regulated utilities. Trade and other receivables as of March 31, 2025 are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $26.4 million (December 31, 2024 - $27.1 million).
5.Regulatory matters
The operating companies within the Regulated Services Group are subject to regulation by the respective regulators of the jurisdictions in which they operate. The respective regulators have jurisdiction with respect to rate, service, accounting policies, issuance of securities, acquisitions and other matters. Except for Suralis, these utilities operate under cost-of-service regulation as administered by these authorities. The Company’s regulated utility operating companies are accounted for under the principles of Regulated Operations (“ASC 980”). Under ASC 980, regulatory assets and liabilities that would not be recorded under U.S. GAAP for non-regulated entities are recorded to the extent that they represent incurred charges or credits that are probable of being recovered from or refunded to customers through the rate setting process.
At any given time, the Company can have several regulatory proceedings underway. The financial effects of these proceedings are reflected in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on regulatory approval obtained to the extent that there is a financial impact during the applicable reporting period.

Temporary rates of $5.5 million were implemented on July 1, 2023. On December 13, 2023, the Department of Energy ("DOE") filed a motion seeking to dismiss the case. An evidentiary hearing was held on January 23, 2024. The case was stayed by the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission ("NHPUC") until May 15, 2024 so that it may contemplate the motion and the Company's third-party review of its financial information. On April 2, 2024, the NHPUC directed the Company to cooperate with the DOE and all other parties to develop a mutually-agreeable scope of work for the third-party report, to be filed with the NHPUC no later than April 15, 2024. Because there was no agreement on the scope of work, the Company filed the third-party report, which concluded that the accounting information included in the rate filing provides a sufficient basis for determining the Company’s revenue requirement and that 2023 accounting data provides a sufficient basis for inclusion in the Company’s regulatory filings. On April 24, 2024, the Company filed an updated revenue requirement, seeking an increase in revenues of $14.7 million. On April 30, 2024, the NHPUC rejected the scope of the third-party report that was submitted, ordered an independent audit facilitated by the DOE with a procedural schedule for the next phase of the proceeding due no later than May 20, 2024, and deferred a ruling on the DOE motion to dismiss. The NHPUC extended the stay until September 16, 2024 to assess the issues that were raised in the docket and called for a status report required by August 30, 2024. On September 30, 2024, the Company notified the NHPUC that the parties were engaged in settlement discussions. The parties filed a settlement agreement on November 18, 2024. A hearing on the settlement agreement was held on January 15, 2025. Initial briefs on the NHPUC's authority to approve the settlement were filed January 31, 2025. A hearing was held March 20, 2025. On March 25, 2025, the NHPUC issued a Procedural Order approving the settlement agreement which resulted in a $5.5 million increase in annual revenues. New rates took effect April 1, 2025. On April 24, 2025, the NHPUC issued a further order stating its reasons for approval of the settlement agreement.

As recovery of regulatory assets is subject to regulatory approval, if there were any changes in regulatory positions that indicate recovery is not probable, the related cost would be charged to earnings in the period of such determination. The Company generally does not earn a return on the regulatory balances except for carrying charges on fuel and commodity cost adjustments, rate adjustment mechanism, clean energy and other customer programs, and rate review costs of some jurisdictions. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized $5.6 million (2024 - $6.7 million) of carrying charges on regulatory balances on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations under other income, which was computed using only the debt component of the allowed return.

5.Regulatory matters (continued)
(a)Securitized costs, net
On January 30, 2024, The Empire District Electric Company securitized, through the issuance of bonds, $301.5 million of qualified extraordinary costs associated with the February 2021 extreme winter storm conditions experienced in Texas and parts of the central U.S. and energy transition costs related to the retirement of the Asbury generating plant. The securitized costs will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the bonds. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, $4.6 million was recorded as amortization expense in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations under depreciation and amortization. The bonds will be paid through Securitized Utility Tariff Charges, which are designed to recover the full scheduled principal amount of the bonds along with any associated interest and financing costs.
(b)     Wildfire mitigation and vegetation management
On July 12, 2019, California Assembly Bill 1054 (“AB 1054”) was enacted. Pursuant to AB 1054, an electrical corporation may petition the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) for recovery of costs and expenses arising from a covered wildfire, and the CPUC may approve recovery of such costs and expenses that are just and reasonable. Liberty Utilities (CalPeco Electric) LLC (“Liberty CalPeco”) tracks its wildfire expense (such as payments to satisfy wildfire claims, including any deductibles, co-insurance and other insurance expense paid, outside legal expense incurred in defense of wildfire claims, payments made for wildfire insurance and related risk-transfer mechanisms and the cost of financing these amounts) through a Wildfire Expense Memorandum Account ("WEMA"). The standard for cost recovery under AB 1054 has not been interpreted or applied by the CPUC. The Company will continue to evaluate the probability of recovery based on available evidence and applicable legal determinations.
In relation to the Mountain View Fire (refer to note 14(a)), the Company accrued estimated losses of $172.3 million for claims arising out of the Mountain View Fire, against which it recorded expected recoveries through insurance of $116.0 million and WEMA of $56.3 million. The Company paid $156.5 million related to these claims and received insurance recoveries of $116.0 million. While the Company plans to seek recovery of the estimated losses in excess of the available insurance, it is subject to approval by the CPUC pursuant to the standard in AB 1054.

(a)Tax equity investments
As part of the disposition of the renewable energy business, the Company retained tax equity investments in seven renewable energy projects amounting to $165.5 million. From the seven renewable energy projects, the Company elected to apply the PAM to three eligible tax equity investments, which had a carrying value of $138.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded amortization losses as a component of income tax expense of $7.2 million. As of March 31, 2025, the PAM eligible tax equity investments had a carrying value of $130.8 million.
The remaining tax equity investments are not eligible to be accounted for under the PAM as the tax benefits from these investments have been previously realized and the remaining benefits are primarily cash distributions. These investments were recorded at their cost of $27.5 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded distributions of $2.6 million as a reduction in the investment and income of $0.4 million. As of March 31, 2025, these tax equity investments had a carrying value of $25.3 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized tax credits and other tax benefits of $8.7 million, and recorded non-income tax related gains and other returns of $1.0 million in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations for the tax equity investments accounted for using the PAM.
The Company has recorded delayed equity contributions in relation to one of the projects accounted for using the PAM of $24.4 million, of which $21.5 million is recorded as part of other long-term liabilities and the remaining $2.9 million as other current liabilities on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.
(b)Equity-method investees
The Regulated Services Group has non-controlling interests, primarily a 9.8% ownership stake in a regulated transmission line in the province of Ontario, and other non-regulated operating entities owned by its utilities. In total, the Company has non-controlling interests in various corporations, partnerships and joint ventures with a total carrying value of $39.2 million (December 31, 2024 - $38.1 million).

Long-term debt issued at a subsidiary level (project notes or utility bonds) relating to a specific operating facility is generally collateralized by the respective facility with no other recourse to the Company. Long-term debt issued at a subsidiary level whether or not collateralized generally has certain financial covenants, which must be maintained on a quarterly basis. Non-compliance with the covenants could restrict cash distributions/dividends to the Company from the specific facilities.

The Company will continue to monitor this position at each balance sheet date.

12.Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share have been calculated on the basis of earnings (loss) attributable to the common shareholders of the Company and the weighted average number of common shares and bonus deferral restricted share units outstanding. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares, additional shares issued subsequent to quarter-end under the dividend reinvestment plan, and, if dilutive, potential incremental common shares related to the convertible debentures and the weighted average number of outstanding share options, PSUs, RSUs and DSUs outstanding during the period.
The reconciliation of the net earnings (loss) and the weighted average shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are as follows:

13.Segmented information
As a result of the disposition of the Company’s former renewable energy group (excluding the Hydro Group), the Regulated Services Group is the only reportable operating segment of the Company. The Regulated Services Group primarily owns and operates a portfolio of regulated electric, water distribution and wastewater collection, and natural gas utility systems and transmission operations in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Chile. However, management has elected to disclose the “Hydro Group” as a reportable operating segment, which consists of hydroelectric generation facilities located in Canada that were not sold as part of the Renewables Sale. Non-operating segments include the corporate activities of the Company, which are reported under the “Corporate Group”.
For purposes of evaluating the performance of the business units, the Company allocates the realized portion of any gains or losses on financial instruments to the specific business unit. Interest income from San Antonio Water System is included in the operations of the Regulated Services Group. Equity method gains and losses are included in the operations of the Regulated Services Group. Dividend income from Atlantica is reported and allocated under the Corporate Group. The change in value of investments carried at fair value, unrealized portion of any gains or losses on derivative instruments not designated in a hedging relationship, and foreign exchange gains and losses are not considered in management’s evaluation of divisional performance and are, therefore, allocated and reported under the Corporate Group.
Resources are allocated and performance is assessed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who has been determined to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). For all of the segments, the CODM uses segment earnings before income taxes in the annual budgeting and forecasting process. The CODM also considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis for this profit measure when making decisions about allocating capital.

14.Commitments and contingencies
(a)Contingencies
AQN and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and litigation arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of its business. Although such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider AQN’s exposure to such litigation to be material to these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Accruals for any contingencies related to these items are recorded in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements at the time it is concluded that their occurrence is probable and the related liability is estimable.
Mountain View Fire
On November 17, 2020, a wildfire now known as the Mountain View Fire occurred in the territory of Liberty CalPeco. The cause of the fire remains in dispute, and CAL FIRE has not yet released its final report. There were 22 lawsuits filed that name certain subsidiaries of the Company as defendants in connection with the Mountain View Fire, as well as a non-litigation claim brought by the U.S. Department of Agriculture seeking reimbursement for alleged fire suppression costs and a notice from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management seeking damages for the alleged burning of public lands without authorization. Fifteen lawsuits were brought by groups of individual plaintiffs and a Native American group alleging causes of action including negligence, inverse condemnation, nuisance, trespass, and violations of Cal. Pub. Util. Code 2106 and Cal. Health and Safety Code 13007 (one of these 15 lawsuits also alleges the wrongful death of an individual and various subrogation claims on behalf of insurance companies). In six other lawsuits, insurance companies alleged inverse condemnation and negligence and seek recovery of amounts paid and to be paid to their insureds. In one other lawsuit, County of Mono, Antelope Valley Fire Protection District, and Bridgeport Indian Colony allege similar causes of action and seek damages for fire suppression costs, law enforcement costs, property and infrastructure damage, and other costs. Liberty CalPeco has resolved 20 of the lawsuits, and Liberty CalPeco is in the process of obtaining dismissals with prejudice of said lawsuits. The trial date for the remaining two lawsuits previously scheduled for April 15, 2025 was vacated. The likelihood of success in these lawsuits is uncertain. Liberty CalPeco intends to vigorously defend them. The Company accrued estimated losses of $172.3 million for claims related to the Mountain View Fire, against which Liberty CalPeco has recorded recoveries through insurance of $116.0 million and WEMA of $56.3 million. The resulting net charge to earnings was $nil. The estimate of losses is subject to change as additional information becomes available. The actual amount of losses may be higher or lower than these estimates. While the Company may incur a material loss in excess of the amount accrued, the Company cannot estimate the upper end of the range of reasonably possible losses that may be incurred. The Company has wildfire liability insurance that was applied up to applicable policy limits.

Apple Valley Condemnation Proceedings
On January 7, 2016, the Town of Apple Valley filed a lawsuit in California state court seeking to condemn the utility assets of Liberty Utilities (Apple Valley Ranchos Water) Corp. ("Liberty Apple Valley"). On May 7, 2021, the trial court issued a Tentative Statement of Decision denying the Town of Apple Valley's attempt to take the Apple Valley water system by eminent domain. The ruling confirmed that Liberty Apple Valley's continued ownership and operation of the water system is in the best interest of the community. On October 14, 2021, the trial court issued the Final Statement of Decision. The trial court signed and entered an Order of Dismissal and Judgment on November 12, 2021. On January 7, 2022, the Town filed a notice of appeal of the judgment entered by the trial court. On August 2, 2022, the trial court issued a ruling awarding Liberty Apple Valley approximately $13.2 million in attorney's fees and litigation costs. The Town filed a notice of appeal of the fee award on August 22, 2022. On January 15, 2025, the California Court of Appeal issued a decision reversing the trial court’s finding that the Town of Apple Valley does not have a right to take the assets of Liberty Apple Valley and reversing the award of attorney’s fees to Liberty Apple Valley. The Court of Appeal decision remands the condemnation proceedings to the trial court to determine whether to (i) allow the Town to take the water system, (ii) remand the matter to the Town for further administrative proceedings or (iii) hold a new trial and apply the appropriate burden of proof and standard of review. On February 21, 2025, Liberty Apple Valley filed a petition for review of the Court of Appeal decision with the California Supreme Court. On April 23, 2025, the California Supreme Court granted the petition for review.
Lexington Gas Incident
On April 9, 2025, an explosion and fire occurred in Lexington, Missouri, destroying or damaging certain structures, including residences, served by the gas distribution system of The Empire District Gas Company. A minor died and two others suffered serious physical injuries. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating. To date, two suits are pending against a subsidiary of the Company and other named defendants which seek unspecified damages for personal injury and property damage, and one of these suits also seeks unspecified damages for wrongful death. The nature and extent of any potential loss to the Company in connection with this incident is currently unknown.
(b)Commitments
There are no new significant commitments not previously disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company has determined that the carrying value of its short-term financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The Company’s Level 1 fair value of long-term debt is measured at the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange and the Canadian over-the-counter closing price. The Company’s Level 2 fair value of long-term debt at fixed interest rates has been determined using a discounted cash flow method and current interest rates. The Company's Level 2 fair value of convertible debentures has been determined as the greater of their face value and the quoted value of AQN's common shares on a converted basis.
The fair value of development loans and other receivables (Level 2) is determined using a discounted cash flow method, using estimated current market rates for similar instruments adjusted for estimated credit risk as determined by management.
The Company’s Level 2 fair value derivative instruments primarily consist of swaps, options and forward physical derivatives where market data for pricing inputs are observable. Level 2 pricing inputs are obtained from various market indices and utilize discounting based on quoted interest rate curves, which are observable in the marketplace.
The Company’s Level 3 fair value contingent consideration relates to the earn out component recognized from the Renewables Sale. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined using a discounted cash flow approach. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration were the forward looking ERCOT energy curves used to construct the expected cash flows and the discount rate applied to these cash flows which was 11%. Significant increases (decreases) in expected cash flows or increases (decreases) in discount rate in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2025 and 2024
16.Financial instruments (continued)
(b)Derivative instruments
Derivative instruments are recognized on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value at each reporting period.
(i)Commodity derivatives – regulated accounting
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce the cash flow variability associated with the purchase price for a portion of future natural gas purchases associated with its regulated natural gas and electric service territories. The Company’s strategy is to minimize fluctuations in natural gas sale prices to regulated customers. As at March 31, 2025, the commodity volume, in dekatherms, associated with the above derivative contracts is 727,231.
The accounting for these derivative instruments is subject to guidance for rate-regulated enterprises. Therefore, the fair value of these derivatives is recorded as current or long-term assets and liabilities, with offsetting positions recorded as regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. Most of the gains or losses on the settlement of these contracts are included in the calculation of the fuel and commodity cost adjustments. As a result, the changes in fair value of these natural gas derivative contracts and their offsetting adjustment to regulatory assets and liabilities had no earnings impact.
(ii)Cash flow hedges
The Company mitigates the risk that interest rates will increase over the life of certain term loan facilities by entering into the following interest rate swap contracts. For an interest rate swap or cross-currency interest rate swap designated as hedging the exposure to variable cash flows of a future transaction, the effective portion of this derivative's gain or loss is initially reported as a component of OCI and subsequently reclassified into earnings once the future transaction impacts earnings. Amounts for interest rate contracts are reclassified to earnings as interest expense over the term of the related debt.

16.Financial instruments (continued)
(b)Derivative instruments (continued)
(iii)Foreign exchange hedge of net investment in foreign operation
The functional currency of most of AQN's operations is the U.S. dollar. The Company designates obligations denominated in Canadian dollars as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in its Canadian investments and subsidiaries. The related foreign currency transaction gain or loss designated as, and effective as, a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation is reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. A foreign currency gain of $65.6 million was released into earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2025 upon the disposition of the hedged investments in foreign operations and the termination of the hedge (2024 - gain of $12.6 million was recorded in OCI).
On May 23, 2019, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap, coterminous with the subordinated unsecured notes issued on such date, to effectively convert the $350.0 million U.S. dollar-denominated offering into Canadian dollars. The change in the carrying amount of the notes due to changes in spot exchange rates was recognized each period in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations as loss on foreign exchange. The Company designated the entire notional amount of the cross-currency fixed-for-fixed interest rate swap as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure related to cash flows for the interest and principal repayments on the notes. Upon the change in functional currency of AQN to the U.S. dollar on January 1, 2020, this hedge was dedesignated. The Company redesignated this swap as a hedge of AQN's net investment in its Canadian subsidiaries. The related foreign currency transaction gain or loss designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation is reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment and is expected to be reclassified to profit and loss as part of the gains (losses) on disposition of the net investment in its Canadian subsidiary, which has been reclassified to discontinued operations. A foreign currency gain of $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was released into earnings upon the disposition of the hedged investments in foreign operations and the termination of the hedge (2024 - loss of $2.2 million was recorded in OCI).
Chilean operations
The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations from its Chilean-based operations. The Company's Chilean operations are determined to have the Chilean peso as their functional currency. Chilean long-term debt used to finance the operations is denominated in Chilean Unidad de Fomento.
(iv)Other derivatives and risk management
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to financial risks that potentially impact its operating results. The Company employs risk management strategies with a view to mitigating these risks to the extent possible on a cost-effective basis. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage certain exposures to fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company does not enter into derivative financial agreements for speculative purposes. For derivatives that are not designated as hedges, the changes in the fair value are immediately recognized in earnings.
The effects on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations of derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges consist of the following:

(c)Supplier financing programs
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into supplier financing programs under which the suppliers can voluntarily elect to sell their receivables. The Company agrees to pay, on the invoice maturity date, the stated amount of the invoices that the Company has confirmed through the execution of bills of exchange. The terms of the trade payable arrangement are consistent with customary industry practice and are not impacted by the supplier’s decision to sell amounts under these arrangements. As of March 31, 2025, accounts payable include confirmed invoices from designated suppliers of $nil (December 31, 2024 - $80.5 million).
17.Disposition of Renewable Energy Business
On January 8, 2025 the Company completed the Renewables Sale for proceeds of $2,092.8 million after subtracting taxes, transaction fees and other preliminary closing adjustments, including an adjustment for estimated remaining completion costs for in-construction assets. As a result of the disposition, the Company derecognized $3,693.2 million of total assets, $1,694.1 million of total liabilities, $37.1 million of AOCI, and $988.0 million of non-controlling interest from its unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. This resulted in a loss on disposition of $0.8 million recorded within the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations.
The consideration from the sale included an earn-out component with fair value of $71.7 million that was determined based on the expected cash flows from certain wind assets. These future cash flows have been discounted to reflect their current present values and recorded as contingent consideration within other assets on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.
In addition, the consideration from the sale included tax equity investments in seven renewable projects, the fair value of which amounted to $165.5 million, and was determined based on expected tax benefits and cash flows. These cash flows have been discounted to reflect their current present value and recorded as a long-term investment on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Explanatory Notes
Unless otherwise indicated, financial information provided for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). As a result, the Company's financial information may not be comparable with financial information of other Canadian companies that provide financial information on another basis.
All monetary amounts are in U.S. dollars, except where otherwise noted. We denote any amounts denominated in Canadian dollars with "C$" immediately prior to the stated amount. Certain amounts in this MD&A may not total due to rounding.
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned to them in the Company's most recent AIF.
The term "rate base" is used in this document. Rate base is a measure specific to rate-regulated utilities that is not intended to represent any financial measure as defined by U.S. GAAP. The measure is used by the regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions where the Company's rate-regulated subsidiaries operate. The calculation of this measure may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
Unless noted otherwise, this MD&A is based on information available to management as of May 9, 2025.
Renewables business sale

On January 8, 2025, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its renewable energy business (excluding hydro) (the "Renewables Sale") to a wholly-owned subsidiary of LS Power (“LS Buyer”) for proceeds of approximately $2.1 billion, after subtracting taxes, transaction fees and other preliminary closing adjustments, including an adjustment for estimated remaining completion costs for in-construction assets. Approximately $1.95 billion of such proceeds were received upon the closing of the transaction and approximately $150 million of such proceeds are currently expected to be received at a later date in 2025 upon monetization of tax attributes on certain in-construction projects. Additionally, the Company can receive up to $220 million in cash pursuant to an earn out agreement relating to certain wind assets (the “Earn Out”). The amount and timing of the ultimate net cash proceeds will be dependent on final completion costs for in-construction assets, the associated monetization of tax credits on certain of these projects and other final closing adjustments.
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company concluded that the consolidated assets within its former renewable energy group (excluding hydro) met the accounting requirements to be presented as “Held for Sale”. As a result, the renewable energy group (excluding hydro) was classified as "discontinued operations" until closing of the Renewables Sale on January 8, 2025. The Company recorded a total impairment loss of $1,357.3 million in 2024 as a result of the classification of the renewable energy group (excluding hydro) as “discontinued operations”. Further, the Company recorded a loss on disposition of $0.8 million during the first quarter of 2025.
The discontinued operations operated as a distinct segment and had no impact on the operations of the Regulated Services Group operating segment, other than sharing certain corporate support functions and benefiting from corporate debt and equity funding. This MD&A reflects the results of continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.

Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures
AQN uses a number of financial measures to assess the performance of its business lines. Some measures are calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, while other measures do not have a standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, each as defined in Canadian National Instrument 52-112 Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure. AQN's method of calculating these measures may differ from methods used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
The terms "Adjusted Net Earnings", "Earnings Before Interest and Taxes" ("EBIT") and "Net Utility Sales", which are used throughout this MD&A, are non-GAAP financial measures. An explanation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures is set out below and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, in each case, can be found in this MD&A. In addition, "Adjusted Net Earnings" is presented throughout this MD&A on a per common share basis. Adjusted Net Earnings per common share is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. As a pure-play regulated utility, as of the first quarter of 2025, the Company no longer presents "Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization" or "Adjusted Funds from Operations" as these metrics were relevant mainly to the Company's former renewable energy group (excluding hydro) that was sold in connection with the Renewables Sale.
AQN does not provide reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures as AQN is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various events that have not yet occurred, are out of AQN's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and that would impact the most directly comparable forward-looking U.S. GAAP financial measure. For these same reasons, AQN is unable to address the probable
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis


significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures.
EBIT
EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure used by many investors to assess the Company's core operational profitability by measuring the profit generated from day-to-day business activities, excluding interest and tax expenses. AQN uses EBIT to assess its operating performance without the effects of (as applicable): income tax expense or recoveries, interest expense and earnings attributable to non-controlling interests. Earnings attributable to non-controlling interests includes Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value ("HLBV") income (which represents the value of net tax attributes earned in the period from electricity generated by certain of AQN's U.S. wind power and U.S. solar generation facilities). AQN believes that presentation of this measure will enhance an investor's understanding of AQN's operating performance. EBIT is not intended to be representative of cash provided by operating activities or results of operations determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and can be impacted positively or negatively by these items. For a reconciliation of EBIT to net earnings, see 2025 First Quarter Results From Operations starting on page10 and Non-GAAP Financial Measures starting on page 26 of this MD&A. For reconciliations of EBIT by business segments, see 2025 First Quarter Regulated Services Group Net Earnings starting on page 16, Corporate Group Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings on page 23 and Hydro Group Net Earnings onpage 24.
Adjusted Net Earnings
Adjusted Net Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure used by many investors to compare net earnings from operations without the effects of certain volatile primarily non-cash items that generally have no current economic impact or items such as acquisition expenses or certain litigation expenses that are viewed as not directly related to a company’s operating performance. AQN uses Adjusted Net Earnings to assess its performance wthout the effects of (as applicable): gains or losses on foreign exchange, foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps, acquisition and transition costs, one-time costs of arranging tax equity financing, certain litigation expenses and write down of intangibles and property, plant and equipment, earnings or loss from discontinued operations, unrealized mark-to-market revaluation impacts, costs related to management succession and executive retirement, costs related to prior period adjustments due to changes in tax law, costs related to condemnation proceedings, changes in value of investments carried at fair value, gains and losses on disposition of assets, prior period adjustments included in the gain (loss) from equity method investments not operated by the Company and other typically non-recurring or unusual items as these are not reflective of the performance of the underlying business of AQN. AQN believes that analysis and presentation of net earnings or loss on this basis will enhance an investor’s understanding of the operating performance of its businesses. Adjusted Net Earnings is not intended to be representative of net earnings or loss determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and can be impacted positively or negatively by these items. For a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Earnings to net earnings, see Non-GAAP Financial Measures starting on page 27 and 2025 Corporate Group Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings on page 23 of this MD&A.
Net Utility Sales
Net Utility Sales is a non-GAAP financial measure used by investors to identify utility revenue after commodity costs, either water, natural gas or electricity, where these commodity costs are generally included as a pass through in rates to its utility customers. AQN uses Net Utility Sales to assess its utility revenues without the effects of fluctuating commodity costs as such costs are predominantly passed through and paid for by utility customers. AQN believes that analysis and presentation of Net Utility Sales on this basis will enhance an investor's understanding of the revenue generation of the Regulated Services Group. It is not intended to be representative of revenue as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For a reconciliation of Net Utility Sales to revenue, see 2025 First Quarter Regulated Services Group Net Earnings on page 16 of this MD&A.

Overview and Business Strategy
AQN is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Subsequent to the signing of the transaction agreement in respect of the Renewables Sale and the sale of the Company's ownership stake in Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc (“Atlantica”) in 2024, AQN revised its business units in connection with its transformation into a pure-play regulated utility and to align with strategic priorities and internal governance. The Company's operations are now organized across two business units consisting of (i) the Regulated Services Group, which primarily owns and operates a portfolio of regulated electric, water distribution and wastewater systems and natural gas utility systems and transmission operations in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Chile; and (ii) the Hydro Group, which consists of hydroelectric generation facilities located in Canada that were not sold as part of the Renewables Sale. Additionally, the Company has a corporate function, the Corporate Group, consisting of corporate interest expense and shared services that primarily support the Regulated Services Group and the Hydro Group, in addition to holding certain ancillary investments. The Company's investment in Atlantica, which previously formed part of the Corporate Group, was sold during the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company’s former renewable energy group (excluding hydro) is reported as discontinued operations (see Note 17 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements - Disposition of Renewable Energy Business) and was sold by the Company on January 8, 2025. The new business units align with how the Company assesses financial performance and makes decisions regarding resource allocations. Through its activities, the Company aims to drive growth in earnings and cash flows to support a sustainable dividend and share price appreciation. AQN strives to achieve these results while also seeking to maintain a business risk profile consistent with its BBB flat investment grade credit ratings.

Summary Structure of the Business
The following chart depicts, in summary form, AQN's key operating business units. A more detailed description of AQN's organizational structure as of the date of the AIF can be found in the most recent AIF.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, AQN reported revenue of $692.4 million as compared to $646.2 million in the comparative period, an increase of $46.2 million. This increase was mainly driven by implementation of new rates of $15.7 million at the BELCO Electric System, Midstates and Peach State Gas Systems, and New York, Midstates and Arkansas Water Systems; as well as favourable weather, which resulted in an increase in revenue of approximately $11.0 million at the Empire Electric System.

This table contains a reconciliation of EBIT to net earnings for the Company. The relevant sections of the table are derived from and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations and Note 13 in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, "Segmented Information". This supplementary disclosure is intended to more fully explain disclosures related to EBIT and provides additional information related to the operating performance of the Company. Investors are cautioned that EBIT should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings.

See Corporate Group Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, AQN reported net earnings attributable to shareholders of $95.4 million and basic net earnings per common share of $0.12. During the comparative period in 2024, the Company reported net loss attributable to shareholders of $56.8 million and basic net loss per common share of $0.09. The net earnings attributable to shareholders increased by $152.2 million and the basic net earnings per common share increased by $0.21. These increases were primarily driven by:

an increase of $40.8 million in the net earnings of the Regulated Services Group primarily due to favourable weather of $11.0 million, implementation of new rates of $15.7 million, lower interest expense of $13.6 million as a result of repayment of debt with the proceeds of the Renewables Sale and the sale of the Company’s investment in Atlantica; and lower depreciation of $8.2 million due to one-time depreciation adjustments related to Liberty Utilities (Granite State Electric) Corp. and the Sarival plant which was offset by higher organic depreciation;
an increase of $13.4 million in the net earnings of the Hydro Group primarily due to a one-time tax recovery; and
an increase of $98.0 million in the net earnings of the Corporate Group primarily due to a $147.7 million fair value mark to market loss recorded in 2024, partially offset by $21.2 million of dividends received from the Company’s investment in Atlantica in the first quarter of 2024, which was sold in the fourth quarter of 2024.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, AQN reported Adjusted Net Earnings per common share of $0.14 as compared to $0.11 per common share during the same period in 2024, an increase of $0.03 (see Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures). Adjusted Net Earnings increased by $31.5 million period over period (see Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures). This increase was primarily driven by the factors noted above, excluding the impact of the $147.7 million fair value mark to market loss.
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis


For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash provided by operating activities decreased by $56.9 million as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily as a result of changes in working capital items of $42.4 million (See Note 15 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements - Non Cash Operating Items) and a decrease of $25.8 million in distributions received from equity investments (net of income). Cash used in financing activities increased by $1,964.6 million mainly due to repayment of debt using proceeds from the Renewables Sale and cash provided by investing activities increased by $1,946.4 million as a result of proceeds received from the Renewables Sale.

Highlights of the changes are summarized in the following table:

(all dollar amounts in $ millions)
Three months ended March 31
Prior Period Net Earnings
$93.8 
Regulated Services Group EBIT1:
Electricity:
Increase is primarily due to:
favourable weather of $11.0 million
a one-time $7.0 million true-up related to the Missouri Energy Efficiency Investment Act recorded in the first quarter of 2024 at the Empire District Electric System
the implementation of new rates at the BELCO Electric System of $4.1 million (2024 new rates were effective Q2 2024)
one-time depreciation adjustment of $5.6 million related to Liberty Utilities (Granite State Electric) Corp. partially offset by higher depreciation across all utilities of $4.7 million
Partially offset by:
a one-time rate base reduction of $4.8 million related to Liberty Utilities (Granite State Electric) Corp.
20.3 
Natural Gas:
Increase is primarily due to:
the implementation of new rates of $6.8 million at the Midstates (MO, IL) and Peach State (GA) Gas Systems
higher Gas System Enhancement Plan mechanism revenue at the New England Gas System
Partially offset by:
higher depreciation across the majority of gas systems of $2.1 million
13.5 
Water:
      Increase is primarily due to:
the implementation of new rates of $4.8 million at the New York (NY) (2024 new rates were effective Q3 2024, retroactive to Q2 2024), Midstates (MO, IL) and Arkansas (AR) Water Systems
one-time depreciation adjustment of $2.6 million related to the Sarival plant offset by higher depreciation across all utilities of $2.6 million
2.7 
Other:
Decrease is primarily due to lower interest income on regulatory asset accounts primarily related to the Empire District Electric System bond securitization. Proceeds from securitization were used to repay long-term debt resulting in decreased interest expense

Granite State ElectricNew HampshireGRC$15.5
On May 5, 2023, filed an application seeking a permanent increase in revenues of $15.5 million based on an ROE of 10.35% and an equity ratio of 55%. Temporary rates of $5.5 million were implemented on July 1, 2023. On December 13, 2023, the Department of Energy ("DOE") filed a motion seeking to dismiss the case. An evidentiary hearing was held on January 23, 2024. The case was stayed by the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission ("NHPUC") until May 15, 2024 so that it may contemplate the motion and the Company's third-party review of its financial information. On April 2, 2024 the NHPUC directed the Company to cooperate with the DOE and all other parties to develop a mutually-agreeable scope of work for the third-party report, to be filed with the NHPUC no later than April 15, 2024. Because there was no agreement on the scope of work, the Company filed the third-party report which concluded that the accounting information included in the rate filing provides a sufficient basis for determining the Company’s revenue requirement and that 2023 accounting data provides a sufficient basis for inclusion in the Company’s regulatory filings. On April 24, 2024, the Company filed an updated revenue requirement, seeking an increase in revenues of $14.7 million. On April 30, 2024, the NHPUC rejected the scope of the third-party report that was submitted, ordered an independent audit facilitated by the DOE with a procedural schedule for the next phase of the proceeding due no later than May 20, 2024, and deferred a ruling on the DOE motion to dismiss. The NHPUC extended the stay until September 16, 2024 to assess the issues that were raised in the docket and called for a status report required by August 30, 2024. On September 30, 2024, the Company notified the NHPUC that the parties were engaged in settlement discussions. The parties filed a settlement agreement on November 18, 2024. A hearing on the settlement agreement was held on January 15, 2025. Initial briefs on the NHPUC's authority to approve the settlement were filed January 31, 2025. A hearing was held March 20, 2025. On March 25, 2025, the NHPUC issued a Procedural Order approving the settlement agreement which resulted in a $5.5 million increase in annual revenues. New rates took effect April 1, 2025. On April 24, 2025, the NHPUC issued a further order stating its reasons for approval of the settlement agreement.

Interest, dividend and other income includes dividends from Atlantica of $nil as compared to $22.5 million during the same period in 2024. Similarly, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, change in investments carried at fair value was $nil as compared to a loss of $147.7 million in the same period in 2024. The decrease is due to the sale of the Company's ownership interest in Atlantica on December 12, 2024.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, interest expense totaled $36.1 million as compared to $40.6 million in the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower borrowing due to the usage of the proceeds from sale of the Company's investment in Atlantica and the Renewables Sale.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the loss on derivative financial instruments totaled $7.2 million as compared to a gain of $0.1 million in the same period in 2024. The loss during the current quarter is mainly due to the settlement of C$300 million foreign exchange forward contract used to hedge underlying debt from the Company's former renewable energy group (excluding hydro). AQN uses derivative instruments to manage exposure to changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, and interest rates.
Other net losses relates to restructuring costs incurred by the Company of $5.6 million as compared to $4.4 million during the same period in 2024.

ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT
The Corporation is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, certain of which are described below. The risks discussed below are not intended to be a complete list of all risks that AQN, its subsidiaries and affiliates are encountering or may encounter. Please see the Company's most recent AIF and Annual MD&A available on SEDAR+ and EDGAR for a further discussion of risk factors to which the Company is subject. To the extent of any inconsistency, the risks discussed below are intended to provide an update on those that were previously disclosed.
Risks Related to Changes in Laws and Regulations
The operations and activities of the Company, its subsidiaries and its business units are subject to the laws, regulations, orders and other requirements of a variety of federal, state, provincial and local governments and courts, including regulatory commissions, environmental agencies and other regulatory bodies, which laws, regulations, decisions, orders, rules and other requirements affect the operations and activities of, and costs incurred by, the Company. The Company is accordingly subject to risks associated with: changing political conditions and changes in political leadership, changes in, modifications to, reinterpretations of or application of existing laws, rules, orders or regulations, the imposition of new laws, rules, orders or regulations (including the imposition of import controls and tariffs and the power of eminent domain), court decisions, and the taking of other action by governmental, judicial or regulatory authorities, including, but not limited to, a pause, reduction or elimination of relevant federal funding, incentives, credits or programs, revocation, lapse, limitation or non-renewal of utility franchises or other rights to provide utility services to existing or new customers, potential limitations on water rights used by utilities in providing service, eminent domain of assets, termination of contracts, actions to municipalize utility service areas or limitations on utility growth and/or expansions of service areas, any of which could adversely affect the Company's business, regulatory approvals, assets, results of operations and financial condition. If the Company or any of its subsidiaries or business units were found to be in violation of such applicable laws, regulations, orders or other requirements, they could be subject to significant penalties or legal actions and/or legal or regulatory decisions that could have a material impact on the Company.
Treasury Risk Management
Capital Markets and Liquidity Risk
As at March 31, 2025, the Company and its subsidiaries had approximately $6.3 million of long-term consolidated indebtedness. Management of the Company believes, based on its current expectations as to the Company's future performance, that the cash flow from operations, the funds available under its credit facilities, and its ability to access capital markets will be adequate to enable the Company to finance its operations, execute its business strategy and maintain an adequate level of liquidity. However, the Company's expected revenue and capital expenditures are only estimates. Moreover, actual cash flows from operations will depend on regulatory, market and other conditions that are beyond the Company's control and which may be impacted by the risk factors herein. As a result, there can be no assurance that management's expectations as to future performance will be realized.
The Company's ability to obtain additional debt or equity or issue other securities, on favourable terms or at all, may be adversely affected by negative perceptions of the Company, any adverse financial or operational performance, the price of the Common Shares of the Company, financial market disruptions, the failure or collapse of any financial institution, prevailing market views and perceptions, or other factors outside the Company's control. In addition, the Company may at times incur indebtedness in excess of its long-term leverage targets, in advance of raising the additional equity or similar securities necessary to repay such indebtedness and maintain its long-term leverage target. Any increase in the Company's leverage or degradation of key credit metrics below threshold levels could, among other things: limit the Company's ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, investments in subsidiaries, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes; restrict the Company's flexibility and discretion to operate its business; limit the Company's ability to declare dividends or maintain prior dividend levels; require the Company to dedicate a portion of cash flows from operations to the payment of interest on its existing indebtedness, in which case such cash flows would not be available for other purposes; cause rating agencies to re-evaluate or downgrade the Company's existing credit ratings; require the Company to post additional collateral security under some of its contracts and hedging arrangements; expose the Company to increased interest expense on borrowings at variable rates; limit the Company's ability to adjust to changing market conditions; place the Company at a competitive disadvantage compared to its competitors; make the Company vulnerable to any downturn in general economic conditions; render the Company unable to make expenditures that are important to its future growth strategies and require the Company to pursue alternative funding strategies.
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis

The Company will need to refinance or reimburse amounts outstanding under the Company's existing consolidated indebtedness over time. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in refinancing its indebtedness when necessary or that additional financing will be obtained when needed, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. In the event that the Company cannot refinance its indebtedness or raise additional indebtedness, or if the Company cannot refinance its indebtedness or raise additional indebtedness on terms that are no less favourable than the current terms, the Company's cash flows and ability to declare dividends or repay its indebtedness may be adversely affected.
The Company's ability to meet its debt service requirements will depend on its ability to generate cash in the future, which depends on many factors, including the Company's financial performance, debt service obligations, the realization of the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, disposition and investment activities, and working capital and capital expenditure requirements. In addition, the Company's ability to borrow funds in the future to make payments on outstanding debt will depend on the satisfaction of covenants in existing credit agreements and other agreements. A failure to comply with any covenants or obligations under the Company's consolidated indebtedness could result in a default under one or more such instruments, which, if not cured or waived, could result in the termination of dividends by the Company and permit acceleration of the relevant indebtedness. There can be no assurance that, if such indebtedness were to be accelerated, the Company's assets would be sufficient to repay such indebtedness in full. There can also be no assurance that the Company will generate cash flow in amounts sufficient to pay its outstanding indebtedness or to fund the Company's liquidity needs.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk from certain outstanding variable interest indebtedness, as well as any new borrowings on existing and new credit facilities and other debt issuances. Fluctuations in interest rates may also impact the costs to obtain other forms of capital and the feasibility of planned growth initiatives.
In addition, for the Regulated Services Group, costs resulting from interest rate increases may not be recoverable in whole or in part, and "regulatory lag" may cause a time delay in the payment to the Regulated Services Group of any such costs that are recoverable.
As a result, fluctuations in interest rates could materially increase the Corporation's financing costs, limit the Corporation's options for financing or investment and adversely affect its results of operations, cash flows, key credit metrics, borrowing capacity and ability to implement its business strategy.
As at March 31, 2025, approximately 94% of debt outstanding in AQN and its subsidiaries was subject to a fixed rate of interest and, as a result, such debt is not subject to significant interest rate risk in the short-term time horizon.
Borrowings subject to variable interest rates can fluctuate significantly from month to month, quarter to quarter and year to year. AQN's target is to maintain a minimum of 90% fixed rate debt. As a result, the Company may hedge the interest rate risk on its variable interest rate borrowings from time to time.
Based on amounts outstanding as at March 31, 2025, the impact to interest expense on variable rate loans from changes in interest rates are as follows:
the Corporate Credit Facility is subject to a variable interest rate and had no amounts outstanding as at March 31, 2025. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would not impact interest expense;
the Long-Term Regulated Services Credit Facility is subject to a variable interest rate and had no amounts outstanding as at March 31, 2025. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would not impact interest expense;
the Bermuda Credit Facility is subject to a variable interest rate and had $57.9 million outstanding as at March 31, 2025. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $0.6 million annually;
the Bermuda Working Capital Facility is subject to a variable interest rate and had $1.0 million outstanding as at March 31, 2025. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by less than $0.01 million annually;
the Regulated Services Group's commercial paper program is subject to a variable interest rate and had $203.0 million outstanding as at March 31, 2025. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $2.0 millionannually; and
term facilities at Suralis that are subject to variable interest rates had $134.8 million outstanding as at March 31, 2025. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $1.3 million annually.
The term loan facility at BELCO is subject to variable interest rates. However, the Company separately entered into an interest swap agreement to hedge the risk associated with interest rate fluctuation.
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis
32


In Summary, a 100 basis point change in the variable interest rate would impact the interest expense of company by approximately $3.9 million annually.
Tax Risk and Uncertainty
The Corporation is subject to income and other taxes primarily in the United States, Canada, Bermuda, and Chile. Changes in tax laws or interpretations or applications thereof, which may or may not have a retroactive effect, in the jurisdictions in which the Corporation does business could adversely affect the Corporation's results from operations, returns to shareholders, and cash flows.
The Corporation cannot provide assurance that the Canada Revenue Agency, the Internal Revenue Service or any other applicable taxation authority will agree with the tax positions taken by the Corporation, including with respect to claimed expenses and the cost amount of the Corporation's depreciable properties. A successful challenge by an applicable taxation authority regarding such tax positions could adversely affect the results of operations and financial position of the Corporation.
The Corporation benefits from federal tax credits and other tax incentives with respect to the development and operation of power generation and storage facilities in the United States, including its remaining investments in the operating facilities associated with the Renewables Sale. The Inflation Reduction Act extended and expanded certain energy credits. However, the rules governing these tax credits include technical requirements for credit eligibility. Further, recent political developments in the U.S. have introduced significant uncertainty with respect to funding under the Inflation Reduction Act, including federal tax credits and other tax incentives. The Corporation has remaining investments in certain tax equity financing transactions in facilities in the United States, under which allocations of tax credits and distributions of cash to the Corporation from the applicable facility could be adversely affected if there are changes in U.S. tax laws that apply to facilities previously placed in service.

OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Dispositions
For financial, strategic and other reasons, the Corporation may from time to time dispose of, or desire to dispose of, businesses or assets (in whole or in part) that it owns. Any disposition by the Corporation may result in recognition of a loss upon such a sale and may result in a decrease to its revenues, cash flows and net income and a change to its business mix. A disposition may also result in less proceeds than expected or liabilities to the Corporation, including as a result of any post-closing indemnities or purchase price adjustments. In addition, the Corporation may not be able to dispose of businesses or assets that the Corporation desires or expects to sell at all or at a price acceptable to the Corporation. Failure to execute on any planned disposition may require the Corporation to seek alternative sources of funds, including one or more potential issuances of equity, or incur additional indebtedness, which may, among other things, cause rating agencies to re-evaluate or downgrade the Corporation's existing credit ratings. Each of the foregoing items may have an adverse effect on the Corporation's business, results of operations, cost of capital or financial condition.
Regulatory Risk
Profitability of AQN businesses is, in part, dependent on regulatory climates in the jurisdictions in which those businesses operate.
In the case of some of the Hydro Group’s hydroelectric facilities, water rights are owned by governments that reserve the right to control water levels, which may affect revenue. The failure to obtain all necessary licenses or permits for such facilities, including renewals thereof or modifications thereto, may result in an inability to operate the facility and could adversely affect cash generated from operating activities.

The Regulated Services Group’s facilities are subject to rate setting by its regulatory agencies. The Company operates utilities in 13 U.S. states, one Canadian province, Bermuda and Chile and therefore is subject to regulation from 17 different regulatory agencies, including FERC. The time between the incurrence of costs and the granting of the rates to recover those costs by regulatory agencies is known as regulatory lag. Regulatory lag, inflationary effects and timing delays may impact the ability to recover expenses and/or capital costs, and profitability could be impacted. In order to mitigate this exposure, the Company seeks to obtain approval for regulatory constructs in the states in which it operates to allow for timely recovery of operating expenses and capital costs. A fundamental risk faced by a regulated utility is the disallowance by the utility’s regulator of operating expenses or capital costs for which recovery is sought through regulatory proceedings. The Company has invested significant capital in its utilities for which it is or will be seeking cost recovery. There is a risk that the utilities’ regulators may not approve, or may otherwise delay recovery, of some or all of the Company’s invested capital. In addition, as the Company recently updated its technology infrastructure systems, there is additional risk that financial data required for rate filings could be difficult to produce or the data is deemed unreliable for ratemaking purposes. Further, customer billing concerns could negatively impact the risk of disallowance and/or regulatory lag. In addition, capital investments that have become stranded may pose additional risk for cost recovery and could be subject to legislation or rulings that would impact the extent to which such costs could be recovered. Similarly, recovery of extraordinary fuel expenses may pose additional risk for cost recovery and could be subject to legislation or regulatory action that would impact the extent to which such costs could be recovered. Further, there is a risk that utility regulators may scrutinize the Company's allocation of shared costs, including in the period following closing of the Renewables Sale. To the extent proposed costs are not included in a utility's rates, the utility will be required to find other efficiencies, growth opportunities or cost savings to achieve its allowed return.
Furthermore, the economies of Canada and the United States each experienced a significant rise in the inflation rate in the post-pandemic era compared to recent historical inflation rates. While the inflation rate has subsided due, in part, to actions taken by the Bank of Canada and the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, there remains uncertainty in the near-term outlook as to whether inflation will remain elevated. Increases in inflation raise the Company’s costs for labour, materials and services, and a failure to recover these increased costs could result in under-recovery. Cost recovery efforts could also face resistance from customers and other stakeholders especially in a rising cost environment, whether due to inflation or high fuel prices or otherwise, and/or in periods of economic decline or hardship. Significant increases in costs also could increase financing needs and otherwise adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position and results of operations.
In addition, there is a risk that the utility’s regulator will not approve the revenue requirements or rate adjustments requested in outstanding or future rate applications or will, on its own initiative, seek to reduce the existing revenue requirements or approved rates. Rate applications are subject to the utility regulator’s review process, usually involving participation from intervenors and other stakeholders that are involved in the case, and a public hearing process. There can be no assurance that resulting decisions or rate orders issued by the utility regulators will permit the Company to recover all costs actually incurred, costs of debt and income taxes, or to earn a particular return on equity.

Condemnation Expropriation Proceedings
The Company's distribution systems could be subject to condemnation or other methods of taking by government entities under certain conditions (including, without limitation, Liberty Utilities (Apple Valley Ranchos Water) Corp., which has been the subject of a condemnation lawsuit filed by the Town of Apple Valley and Liberty New York Water, which has received condemnation inquiries). There can be no assurance that the Corporation will receive fair market value for such assets or that the Corporation would not incur a loss.

Inflation Risk
AQN's profitability could be impacted by inflation increases above long-term averages. The Company's facilities are subject to rate setting by its regulatory agencies. The time between the incurrence of costs and the granting of the rates to recover those costs by regulatory agencies is known as regulatory lag. As a result of regulatory lag, inflationary effects and timing delays may impact the ability to recover expenses and/or capital costs, and profitability could be impacted. In the event of significant inflation, the impact of regulatory lag on the Company would be increased. In order to mitigate this exposure, the Company seeks to obtain approval for regulatory constructs in the states in which it operates to allow for timely recovery of operating expenses and capital costs.
Development and construction projects could experience a decrease in expected returns as a result of increased costs.

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis

Tariff Risk

Changes in tariffs may adversely affect the Company's operating expenses and the capital expenditures required to maintain, develop or construct the Company's projects or infrastructure. As a result of recent comprehensive changes to U.S. trade policy, tariffs and retaliatory tariffs are being imposed by the U.S. and various affected countries, including Canada, Mexico and China. The situation is fluid and changes rapidly. Whether these tariffs will be increased, decreased, further delayed or suspended altogether, as well as the imposition of additional tariffs by the U.S., the potential for further retaliation by other countries or any further adjustment to trade policies and tariffs and the timing thereof are difficult to predict at this time. Any such tariffs could adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, import restrictions, border delays and seizures of products by governmental authorities may also increase the cost of projects and result in construction and placed-in-service delays. These occurrences may have adverse impacts to the Company, as the buyer and/or importer of goods, which could adversely affect the Company's expected returns, results of operations and cash flows.
Litigation Risks and Other Contingencies
AQN and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in various litigation, claims and other legal and regulatory proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Any accruals for contingencies related to these items are recorded in the financial statements at the time it is concluded that a material financial loss is likely and the related liability is estimable. Anticipated recoveries under existing insurance policies are recorded when reasonably assured of recovery.
Mountain View Fire
On November 17, 2020, a wildfire now known as the Mountain View Fire occurred in the territory of Liberty Utilities (CalPeco Electric) LLC ("Liberty CalPeco"). The cause of the fire remains in dispute, and CAL FIRE has not yet released its final report. There were 22 lawsuits filed that name certain subsidiaries of the Company as defendants in connection with the Mountain View Fire, as well as a non-litigation claim brought by the U.S. Department of Agriculture seeking reimbursement for alleged fire suppression costs and a notice from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management seeking damages for the alleged burning of public lands without authorization. Fifteen lawsuits were brought by groups of individual plaintiffs and a Native American group alleging causes of action including negligence, inverse condemnation, nuisance, trespass, and violations of Cal. Pub. Util. Code 2106 and Cal. Health and Safety Code 13007 (one of these 15 lawsuits also alleges the wrongful death of an individual and various subrogation claims on behalf of insurance companies). In six other lawsuits, insurance companies alleged inverse condemnation and negligence and seek recovery of amounts paid and to be paid to their insureds. In one other lawsuit, County of Mono, Antelope Valley Fire Protection District, and Bridgeport Indian Colony allege similar causes of action and seek damages for fire suppression costs, law enforcement costs, property and infrastructure damage, and other costs. Liberty CalPeco has resolved 20 of the lawsuits, and Liberty CalPeco is in the process of obtaining dismissals with prejudice of said lawsuits. The trial date for the remaining two lawsuits previously scheduled for April 15, 2025 was vacated. The likelihood of success in these lawsuits is uncertain. Liberty CalPeco intends to vigorously defend them. The Company accrued estimated losses of $172.3 million for claims related to the Mountain View Fire, against which Liberty CalPeco has recorded recoveries through insurance of $116.0 million and Wildfire Expense Memorandum Account of $56.3 million. The resulting net charge to earnings was $nil. The estimate of losses is subject to change as additional information becomes available. The actual amount of losses may be higher or lower than these estimates. While the Company may incur a material loss in excess of the amount accrued, the Company cannot estimate the upper end of the range of reasonably possible losses that may be incurred. The Company has wildfire liability insurance that was applied up to applicable policy limits.

Apple Valley Condemnation Proceedings
On January 7, 2016, the Town of Apple Valley filed a lawsuit in California state court seeking to condemn the utility assets of Liberty Utilities (Apple Valley Ranchos Water) Corp. ("Liberty Apple Valley"). On May 7, 2021, the trial court issued a Tentative Statement of Decision denying the Town of Apple Valley's attempt to take the Apple Valley water system by eminent domain. The ruling confirmed that Liberty Apple Valley's continued ownership and operation of the water system is in the best interest of the community. On October 14, 2021, the trial court issued the Final Statement of Decision. The trial court signed and entered an Order of Dismissal and Judgment on November 12, 2021. On January 7, 2022, the Town filed a notice of appeal of the judgment entered by the trial court. On August 2, 2022, the trial court issued a ruling awarding Liberty Apple Valley approximately $13.2 million in attorney's fees and litigation costs. The Town filed a notice of appeal of the fee award on August 22, 2022. On January 15, 2025, the California Court of Appeal issued a decision reversing the trial court’s finding that the Town of Apple Valley does not have a right to take the assets of Liberty Apple Valley and reversing the award of attorney’s fees to Liberty Apple Valley. The Court of Appeal decision remands the condemnation proceedings to the trial court to determine whether to (i) allow the Town to take the water system, (ii) remand the matter to the Town for further administrative proceedings or (iii) hold a new trial and apply the appropriate burden of proof and standard of review. On February 21, 2025, Liberty Apple Valley filed a petition for review of the Court

of Appeal decision with the California Supreme Court. On April 23, 2025, the California Supreme Court granted the petition for review.

Lexington Gas Incident
On April 9, 2025, an explosion and fire occurred in Lexington, Missouri, destroying or damaging certain structures, including residences, served by the gas distribution system of The Empire District Gas Company. A minor died and two others suffered serious physical injuries. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating. To date, two suits are pending against a subsidiary of the Company and other named defendants which seek unspecified damages for personal injury and property damage, and one of these suits also seeks unspecified damages for wrongful death. Although there can be no assurance, the Company has insurance that is currently expected to apply up to applicable policy limits. The nature and extent of any potential loss to the Company in connection with this incident is currently unknown.



Technology Infrastructure Implementation Risk
The Company relies upon various information and operational technology infrastructure systems to carry out its business processes and operations. This subjects the Company to inherent costs and risks associated with maintaining, upgrading, replacing and changing information and operational technology systems. This includes impairment of its technology systems, potential disruption of operations, business process and internal control systems, substantial capital expenditures, demands on management time and other risks of delays, and difficulties in upgrading, transitioning and integrating technology systems.
AQN and certain of its subsidiaries have completed the implementation of an integrated customer solution platform, which includes customer billing, enterprise resource planning systems and asset management systems. The transition of operations to these new technology systems, or deficiencies in the design or implementation of these systems, could materially adversely affect the Company's operations, including its ability to monitor its business, pay its suppliers, bill its customers, and record and report financial information accurately and on a timely basis; lead to higher than expected costs; lead to increased regulatory scrutiny or adverse regulatory consequences; or result in the failure to achieve the expected benefits. As a result, the Company's operations, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Quarterly revenues have fluctuated between $515.4 million and $692.4 million over the prior two year period. A number of factors impact quarterly results, including acquisitions, dispositions, seasonal fluctuations and customer rates. In addition, a factor impacting revenues year over year is the fluctuation in the strength of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, which can result in significant changes in reported revenue from Canadian operations.
Quarterly net earnings attributable to shareholders have fluctuated between a loss of $1,305.7 million and earnings of $200.8 million over the prior two year period. Earnings have been impacted by non-cash factors such as impairment upon

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
AQN's management carried out an evaluation as of March 31, 2025, under the supervision of and with the participation of AQN's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Interim Chief Financial Officer ("Interim CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of AQN's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15 (e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and the Interim CFO have concluded that as of March 31, 2025, AQN's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by AQN in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and Interim CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Management, including the CEO and the Interim CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting. Management, as at the end of the period covered by this interim filing, designed internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The control framework management used to design the Company's internal control over financial reporting is that established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there has been no change in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Due to its inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements based on error or fraud. Further, the effectiveness of internal control is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may change.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES
AQN prepared its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related amounts of revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant areas requiring the use of management judgment relate to the scope of consolidated entities, useful lives and recoverability of assets, the measurement of deferred taxes and the recoverability of deferred tax assets, rate-regulation, unbilled revenue, pension and post-employment benefits, fair value of derivatives and fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
AQN's significant accounting policies and new accounting standards are discussed in Notes 1 and 2, respectively,in the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

2Please refer to "Non-GAAP Measures" below for further details.
First Quarter 2025 Operational Results and Corporate Actions
Regulated Services Group saw growth from implementation of new rates and a non-recurring depreciation true up — The Regulated Services Group recorded first quarter 2025 year-over-year growth in net earnings of approximately 43%, primarily due to the implementation of new rates at several of the Company's electric, water and gas utilities, as well as a favourable non-recurring $8.2 million depreciation true up related to constructive regulatory orders. The Company also benefited from reduced interest expense as a result of repayment of debt with the proceeds of the sale of the Company's renewable energy business (excluding hydro) and the sale of its 42.2% ownership stake in Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc ("Atlantica").



First quarter net earnings positively impacted by additional non-recurring tax step-up — The Company benefited from a one-time $13.4 million income tax recovery stemming from a tax basis step-up during the Hydro Group's reorganization related to the sale of the Company's renewable energy business.
Regulatory schedule progressing as the Company obtains conclusive orders in four separate rate cases — During the first quarter of 2025, the Company obtained conclusive orders, primarily by way of approved settlements, at its Midstates Gas (Missouri), Missouri Water, Arkansas Water and Granite State Electric utilities.Authorized revenue increases for these cases total approximately $22.3 million in aggregate.
Corporate Group net earnings impacted due to sale of AtlanticaThe Corporate Group’s net earnings were negatively impacted by the sale of the Company's ownership stake in Atlantica and the loss of related dividends. The repayment of debt with the proceeds of the Atlantica sale contributed to interest expense reductions across the Regulated Services Group and Corporate Group segments, which partly offset the loss of Atlantica dividends.
Sale of the renewable energy business marks key achievement in strategic transition to pure-play regulated utility — On January 8, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its renewable energy business (excluding hydro) to a wholly-owned subsidiary of LS Power for proceeds of approximately $2.1 billion, after subtracting taxes, transaction fees and other preliminary closing adjustments, including an adjustment for estimated remaining completion costs for in-construction assets. Approximately $1.95 billion of such proceeds were received upon the closing of the transaction and approximately $150 million of such proceeds are currently expected to be received at a later date in 2025 upon monetization of tax attributes on certain in-construction projects.
Leadership transition supports AQN's ongoing transformation — On March 7, 2025, Roderick (Rod) West joined the Company as Chief Executive Officer, and Brian Chin, Vice President of Investor Relations, assumed the role of Interim Chief Financial Officer. A nationally recognized search firm has been engaged to assist in identifying a permanent Chief Financial Officer.
Investor Update scheduled for June 3, 2025 — Consistent with comments made on the previous earnings call regarding an approximately 90-day review period for the incoming management team, the Company plans to hold an investor update on June 3, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. ET, hosted by Chief Executive Officer, Rod West, and Interim Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Investor Relations, Brian Chin. The update is expected to include the Company's forward-looking financial outlook. Details for the call and accompanying webcast are below.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information
Certain statements included in this news release constitute ‘‘forward-looking information’’ within the meaning of applicable securities laws in each of the provinces and territories of Canada and the respective policies, regulations and rules under such laws and ‘‘forward-looking statements’’ within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, ‘‘forward-looking statements”). The words “will”, “expects”, “plans", and “seeks” (and grammatical variations of such terms) and similar expressions are often intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Specific forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: expectations regarding rate cases, including the expected outcomes thereof; expectations regarding the proceeds from the sale of the Company’s renewable energy business; and expectations and plans regarding an investor update currently scheduled for June 3, 2025. These statements are based on factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including assumptions based on historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments. Since forward-looking statements relate to future events and conditions, by their very nature they require making assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. AQN cautions that although it is believed that the assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances, these risks and uncertainties give rise to the possibility that actual results may differ materially from the expectations set out in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained herein are provided for the purposes of assisting in understanding the Company and its business, operations, risks, financial performance, financial position and cash flows as at and for the periods indicated and to present information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Material risk factors and assumptions include those set out in AQN's annual information form and annual management discussion & analysis, each for the year ended December 31, 2024, and Interim MD&A, each of which is or will be available on SEDAR+ and EDGAR.Given these risks, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of their dates. Other than as specifically required by law, AQN undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, subsequent or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Measures
AQN uses a number of financial measures to assess the performance of its business lines. Some measures are calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), while other measures do not have a standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, each as defined in Canadian National Instrument 52-112 – Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure. AQN’s method of calculating these measures may differ from methods used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
The term “Adjusted Net Earnings”, which is used in this news release, is a non-GAAP financial measure. An explanation of this non-GAAP financial measure can be found in the section titled "Caution Concerning Non-



GAAP Measures" in the Interim MD&A, which section is incorporated by reference into this news release, and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure can be found below. In addition, “Adjusted Net Earnings” is presented in this news release on a per common share basis. Adjusted Net Earnings per common share is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period.

This supplementary disclosure is intended to more fully explain disclosures related to Adjusted Net Earnings and provides additional information related to the operating performance of AQN.
