Explanatory Notes
Unless otherwise indicated, financial information provided for the three and six months ended June 30, 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 August 8, 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 $95 million of such proceeds were received in the second quarter of 2025. Approximately $55 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 (including, but not limited to, future events which could cause recapture of part or all of the tax attributes monetized and refund of the associated proceeds), 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 income from discontinued operations of $6.7 million and $8.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
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.

All forward-looking information contained herein is qualified by these cautionary statements.
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
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis


comparable forward-looking U.S. GAAP financial measure. For these same reasons, AQN is unable to address the probable 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 Non-GAAP Financial Measures starting on page 32 of this MD&A. For reconciliations of EBIT by business segments, see 2025 Second Quarter Regulated Services Group Net Earnings starting on page 19, Corporate Group Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings on page 29 and Hydro Group Net Earnings on page 30.
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 without 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 (including restructuring costs related to the Company's transition to a pure-play utility), 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 33 and Corporate Group Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings on page 29 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 Second Quarter Regulated Services Group Net Earnings on page 19 of this MD&A.

Overview and Business Strategy
AQN is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The Company'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 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 Sustainable Infrastructure plc ("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 18 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements - Disposition of Renewable Energy Business) and was sold by the Company on January 8, 2025. The Company's 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.

Financial Outlook
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements and Forward-Looking Information section in this MD&A. Actual results may differ materially from the estimates below. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these estimates.
The Company estimates that its Adjusted Net Earnings per share will be within a range of $0.30 - $0.32 for 2025, $0.35 - $0.37 for 2026 and $0.42 - $0.46 for 2027 (see Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures). The Company is focused on organic capital investment, with utility capital expenditures of approximately $2.5 billion expected for 2025 through 2027.
The foregoing financial outlook, including estimated Adjusted Net Earnings per share (see Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures) and expectations regarding capital expenditures, is based on the following key assumptions, as well as those set out under Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements and Forward-Looking Information:
resolution of customer billing matters, regulatory investigations and rate decisions in line with expectations, including absence of material write downs of assets;

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, AQN reported revenue of $527.8 million as compared to $515.3 million in the comparative period, an increase of $12.5 million. This increase was mainly driven by the implementation of approved rates of $15.5 million at the Bermuda Electric Light Company Limited ("BELCO"), Electric System, Midstates and Peach State Gas Systems, and New York, Midstates and Arkansas Water Systems; partially offset by unfavourable weather, which resulted in a decrease in revenue of approximately $6.6 million at the Empire Electric System.

3See Corporate Group Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, AQN reported net earnings attributable to shareholders of $17.4 million and basic net earnings per common share of $0.02. During the comparative period in 2024, the Company reported net earnings attributable to shareholders of $180.1 million and basic net earnings per common share of $0.26. The net earnings attributable to shareholders decreased by $162.7 million and the basic net earnings per common share decreased by $0.24. These decreases were primarily driven by:
a decrease of $0.9 million in the net earnings of the Regulated Services Group primarily due to the implementation of approved rates of $15.5 million, the lower interest expense of $15.1 million as a result of the repayment of debt with the proceeds of the Renewables Sale and the sale of the Company’s investment in Atlantica; which was offset by higher organic depreciation of $4.9 million, unfavourable weather, which resulted in a decrease in net earnings of approximately $6.6 million, higher income tax expense of $5.5 million, lower HLBV income of $5.1 million and one-time revenues of $3.9 million at the BELCO Electric System in the second quarter of 2024 from an increased revenue requirement with recoupment to the first quarter of 2024;
an increase of $5.8 million in the net earnings of the Hydro Group primarily due to a one-time tax recovery; and
a decrease of $167.6 million in the net earnings of the Corporate Group primarily due to a fair value mark to market gain of $169.9 million and dividend of $21.8 million recorded in the second quarter of 2024 from the Company’s investment in Atlantica, which was sold in the fourth quarter of 2024, partially offset by lower interest expense of $10.4 million and lower income tax expense of $17.9 million.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, AQN reported Adjusted Net Earnings per common share of $0.04 as compared to $0.06 per common share during the same period in 2024, a decrease of $0.02 (see Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures). Adjusted Net Earnings decreased by $5.3 million period over period (see Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures). This decrease was primarily driven by the factors noted above, excluding the impact of the $169.9 million fair value mark to market gain recorded in 2024 (See Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Earnings to Net Earnings).

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, cash provided by operating activities increased by $13.8 million as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily as a result of changes in working capital items of $11.8 million (See Note 16 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements - Non Cash Operating Items) and a decrease of $8.8 million in distributions received from equity investments (net of income). Cash used in financing activities decreased by $119.1 million mainly due to higher debt financing in 2024 and cash provided by investing activities increased by $57.6 million as a result of increase in long-term investments in 2024.

During the comparative period in 2024, the Company reported net earnings attributable to shareholders of $123.3 million and basic net earnings per common share of $0.17. The net earnings attributable to shareholders decreased by $10.5 million and the basic net earnings per common share decreased by $0.03. These decreases were primarily driven by:

an increase of $38.4 million in the net earnings of the Regulated Services Group primarily due to the implementation of approved rates of $31.2 million, favourable weather, which resulted in an increase in net earnings of $4.4 million, and lower interest expense of $29.1 million as a result of the repayment of debt with the proceeds of the Renewables Sale and the sale of the Company’s investment in Atlantica; partially offset by higher depreciation of $6.4 million due to higher organic depreciation, net of $8.2 million due to one-time depreciation adjustments related to Granite State Electric and the Sarival plant;
an increase of $19.9 million in the net earnings of the Hydro Group primarily due to a one-time tax recovery; and
an increase in the net losses of the Corporate Group of $68.8 million, primarily due to:
$22.1 million fair value mark to market gain recorded in 2024 and $43.6 million of dividends received from the Company’s investment in Atlantica in the first and second quarter of 2024, which was sold in the fourth quarter of 2024;
an increase of $20.5 million in foreign exchange losses due to fluctuations in USD-CAD exchange rates; partially offset by:
$14.5 million decrease in interest expense as a result of the repayment of debt with the proceeds of the Renewables Sale and the sale of the Company's investment in Atlantica.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Regulated Services Group reported net earnings of $47.1 million as compared to $48.0 million for the comparable period in the prior year.
Highlights of the changes are summarized in the following table:

(all dollar amounts in $ millions)Three months ended June 30
Prior Period Net Earnings
$48.0 
Regulated Services Group EBIT1:
Electricity:
Decrease is primarily due to:
unfavourable weather compared to the prior period, which resulted in a decrease in net earnings of approximately $6.6 million
one-time revenues of $3.9 million at the BELCO Electric System in the second quarter of 2024 from an increased revenue requirement with recoupment to the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by the implementation of approved rates at the BELCO Electric System of $1.6 million

(9.5)
Gas:
Increase is primarily due to:
the implementation of approved rates of $3.9 million at Midstates (MO, IL) and Peach State (GA) Gas Systems
higher revenue of approximately $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2025 relating to one-time lower revenues recorded in the second quarter of 2024 at the EnergyNorth (NH) Gas System
lower bad debt expense of approximately $3.0 million mainly due to a one-time expense recorded in the second quarter of 2024
one-time write off of approximately $1.3 million of accrued liabilities;

Partially offset by:
higher operating expenses including one-time expenses of $1.0 million relating to the gas incident in Lexington, Missouri at the Empire (MO) Gas System
higher depreciation across the majority of gas systems of $2.6 million
3.5 
Water:
Increase is primarily due to:
the implementation of approved rates of $10.0 million at the New York (NY) (2024 approved rates were effective in the third quarter of 2024, retroactive to the second quarter of 2024), Midstates (MO, IL) and Arkansas (AR) Water Systems;

Partially offset by:
higher depreciation of $2.0 million driven by one-time expenses at the Litchfield Park (AZ) Water and Sewer System; and
rate case adjustment of $3.3 million at the Litchfield Park (AZ) Water and Sewer System
4.3 
Other: Decrease is primarily due to timing of expenses with no impact expected on the full year
(3.7)
Interest expense: Decrease due to repayment of debt
15.1 
Income tax expense: Higher income tax expense due to higher earnings before tax(5.5)
Net earnings attributable to non-controlling interests: Decrease due to lower wind production resulting in lower HLBV

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. Approved 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.

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
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis

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 June 30, 2025, the Company and its subsidiaries had approximately $6.3 billion 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.
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.
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis
38


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 June 30, 2025, approximately 93% 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 $62.4 million outstanding as at June 30, 2025. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $0.6 million annually;
the Regulated Services Group's commercial paper program is subject to a variable interest rate and had $212.0 million outstanding as at June 30, 2025. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $2.1 million annually; and
term facilities at Suralis that are subject to variable interest rates had $143.9 million outstanding as at June 30, 2025. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $1.4 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.
In Summary, a 100 basis point change in the variable interest rate would impact the interest expense of company by approximately $4.1 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. One or more taxing jurisdictions could seek to impose incremental or new taxes on the Company pursuant to the following or otherwise:
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (the "OBBBA"), which makes permanent or modifies several provisions from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, introduces new measures, and phases out many green energy incentives from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.
On July 7, 2025, the Trump Administration issued an Executive Order titled "Ending Market Distorting Subsidies for Unreliable, Foreign Controlled Energy Sources". The Executive Order directs Treasury to take any necessary or appropriate action within 45 days to strictly enforce the termination of certain tax credits for wind and solar energy in the OBBBA.
The Corporation cannot predict the ultimate effect on the Corporation's business of the OBBBA or of other current or future executive orders or other related legislative or regulatory initiatives. 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 2022 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 United States (including the enactment of the OBBBA and the Executive Order titled "Ending Market Distorting Subsidies for Unreliable, Foreign Controlled Energy Sources") have introduced significant uncertainty around
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis
39


Inflation Reduction Act funding, particularly around federal tax credits and related 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, regulatory lag, penalties and/or adverse action relating to the Company's earned return. 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.
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis

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.

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 contemplated, threatened and/or imposed by the U.S. and a number of affected countries, including Canada, Bermuda, Chile and China. The situation is fluid and has changed 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 or tariff imposition 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 21 of the lawsuits, and Liberty CalPeco is in the process of obtaining dismissals with prejudice of said lawsuits. The trial date for the remaining lawsuit previously scheduled for April 15, 2025 was vacated. The likelihood of success in this lawsuit is uncertain. Liberty CalPeco intends to vigorously defend it. The Company accrued estimated losses of $177.0 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 $61.0 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, which is proceeding in due course before the California Supreme Court.

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, twelve suits are pending against a subsidiary of the Company and other named defendants which seek damages for personal injury and property damage, and one of these suits also seeks damages for wrongful death. In addition, the Missouri Attorney General filed a petition for injunctive relief and civil penalties associated with the incident. Although there can be no assurance, the Company has insurance that is currently expected to apply up to applicable policy limits. The Company has currently accrued estimated losses of $49.5 million for claims related to the incident, against which recoveries through insurance of $48.3 million have been recorded. While the Company may incur a material loss in excess of the amount accrued, the Company cannot currently estimate the upper end of the range of reasonably possible losses that may be incurred. The estimate of losses is subject to change as additional information becomes available.


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 $515.3 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 $200.7 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 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.
