Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2024 and 2023
(in thousands of U.S. dollars, except as noted and per share amounts)
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. ("AQN" or the "Company") is an incorporated entity under the Canada Business Corporations Act. AQN's operations are organized in three 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; the Hydro Group, consisting of 14 hydroelectric generating facilities located in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick and Quebec; and the Corporate Group, which includes corporate and service companies as well as the Company’s investment in Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc (“Atlantica”). In prior periods, AQN included the Renewable Energy Group as a reportable segment, however, as of September 30, 2024 the assets and liabilities of this segment (excluding the Hydro Group) have been presented as held for sale and its net earnings have been reported as discontinued operations (the “discontinued operations”) (see note 21).

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, 2023.
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, 2023.
(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 insolation 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.

1.Significant accounting policies (continued)
(d)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 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 this quarter. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax on AQN’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, includes amounts related to non-controlling interests. A portion of non-controlling interest on AQN’s consolidated balance sheet relates to discontinued operations for the periods presented.
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 21 for discussion of discontinued operations related to the disposition of the renewable energy business.
2.     Recently issued accounting pronouncements
(a)Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
There were no accounting pronouncements adopted in the current period.    
(b)Recently issued accounting guidance not yet adopted
There were no recently issued accounting guidance not yet adopted in the current period.
3.Business acquisitions and dispositions
There were no acquisitions or dispositions as part of the continuing operations during the quarter. See note 21 for a discussion of the disposition of the renewable energy business and acquisitions related to discontinued operations.
4.Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable as of September 30, 2024 include unbilled revenue of $93,619 (December 31, 2023 - $107,001) from the Company’s regulated utilities. Accounts receivable as of September 30, 2024 are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $30,191 (December 31, 2023 - $29,764).
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.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $5,719 and $18,448, respectively (2023 - $11,514 and $29,415, respectively) 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 returned.

5.Regulatory matters (continued)
(a)Securitized costs, net
On January 30, 2024, The Empire District Electric Company securitized, through the issuance of bonds (see note 7(e)), $301,463 of qualified extraordinary costs associated with the February 2021 extreme winter storm conditions experienced in Texas and parts of the central U.S. (the “Midwest Extreme Weather Event”) 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2024, $3,546 and $11,592, respectively were 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 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, the Company accrued estimated losses of $172,300 for claims arising out of the Mountain View Fire, against which it recorded expected recoveries through insurance of $116,000 and WEMA of $56,300. During the quarter, the Company paid $136,500 related to these claims and received insurance recoveries of $116,000. 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. Refer to Note 18(a) for details.

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 proceeds from the remarketing of the Notes were used, as an interim step prior to the settlement of the Purchase Contracts, to purchase a portfolio of treasury securities maturing on June 13, 2024. The funds generated upon maturity of the treasury portfolio were used on June 17, 2024 to settle the Purchase Contracts.

14.Income taxes

Income tax expense (recovery)
$6,362 $(40,755)$33,273 $(50,025)
The Company’s overall deferred tax asset position related to Canadian attributes increased from $150,007 to $165,411 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the losses incurred in Canada during the period. As at September 30, 2024, it is considered more likely than not that there will be sufficient taxable income in the future that will allow realization of these deferred tax assets. The Company considered all evidence, both positive and negative, including the announcement of the sale of the renewable energy business, the timing and use of proceeds from the sale of Atlantica and the renewable energy business, the availability of tax planning strategies and the carryforward period of its Canadian net operating losses in making this assessment. The Company will continue to monitor this position at each balance sheet date.
Discontinued operations
Income tax recovery reflected in discontinued operations is $47,975 and $35,041 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As discussed in note 21, on August 9, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its renewable energy business (excluding hydro) which will be treated as an equity sale for income tax purposes. Primarily because of the impairment charge recorded during the period ended September 30, 2024, the financial reporting basis of the net assets being held for sale is estimated to be less than the tax basis in the equity units. Given we cannot ascertain if the resulting deferred tax asset for the excess of the tax basis in the equity over the accounting basis in the net assets is recoverable, we have recorded a full valuation allowance on the resulting deferred tax asset.

16.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 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 or resulting from the application of the treasury stock method to the Green Equity Units (note 7) 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:

17.Segmented information
As a result of the classification of the renewable energy business (excluding hydro) as discontinued operations during the period, the Regulated Services Group is the only reportable operating segment of the Company. However, management has elected to disclose the “Hydro Group” as a reportable operating segment which includes the non-regulated hydro assets that are not being sold as a part of the sale of the renewable energy group. Non-operating segments include the corporate activities of the Company which are reported under the “Corporate Group”.
The Regulated Services Group, the Company's regulated operating unit, 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.
For purposes of evaluating the performance of the business unit, 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.

18.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 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. Trial on the remaining two lawsuits is currently expected in January 2025. The likelihood of success in these lawsuits is uncertain. Liberty CalPeco intends to vigorously defend them. The Company accrued estimated losses of $172,300 for claims related to the Mountain View Fire, against which Liberty CalPeco has recorded recoveries through insurance of $116,000 and WEMA of $56,300. 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.

20.    Financial instruments (continued)
(a)Fair value of financial instruments (continued)
The Company has determined that the carrying value of its short-term financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The fair value of the investment in Atlantica (level 1) is measured at the closing price on the NASDAQ stock exchange.
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 1 fair value of long-term debt is measured at the closing price on the NYSE 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 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 does not hold level 3 financial instruments.
(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 September 30, 2024, the commodity volume, in dekatherms, associated with the above derivative contracts was 2,807,898.
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.

The Company expects $40,942 of unrealized losses currently in AOCI to be reclassified, net of taxes, into non-regulated energy sales, investment loss, interest expense and derivative gains, within the next 12 months, as the underlying hedged transactions settle.
(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 loss of $4,070 and a gain of $6,116 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, (2023 - gains of $9,951 and $583, respectively) were 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 $350,000 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 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. The fair value of the derivative on the redesignation date will be amortized over the remaining life of the original hedge. Foreign currency loss of $161and gain of $5,848 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively (2023 - losses of $1,528 and $8,537, respectively) 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:

Gain on derivative financial instruments$278 $729 $469 $3,934 
(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 September 30, 2024, accounts payable include confirmed invoices from designated suppliers of $80,546 (December 31, 2023 $62,173).
21.Assets held for sale
On August 9, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its renewable energy business (excluding hydro) to LS Buyer for total cash consideration of up to $2,500,000 (subject to certain closing adjustments), excluding debt, consisting of $2,280,000 in cash at closing and up to $220,000 in cash pursuant to an earn out agreement relating to certain wind assets (the “Earn Out”). The renewable energy business primarily owns and operates, or has investments in, a diversified portfolio of non-regulated renewable and thermal energy generation assets.
The sale remains subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions, including the approval of the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The Company expects the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2024 or the first quarter of 2025 and to receive cash proceeds of approximately $1,600,000 to 1,800,000 (excluding the Earn Out) after repaying construction financing, and net of taxes, transaction fees and other closing adjustments.
The renewable energy business (excluding hydro) was classified as held for sale and as discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2024. No adjustments were made to the historical activity within the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows or the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity. Unless otherwise noted, the notes to these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements exclude amounts related to discontinued operations for all periods presented.

The discontinued operations’ held for sale assets include pretax impairments of approximately $1,297,954 for the period ended September 30, 2024. The impairment was recorded to write-down the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment assets to the estimated fair value of the business, based on the expected selling price less estimated cost to sell. These losses were included in loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, in AQN’s Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The impairment will be updated, if necessary, based on the final sale price, after any adjustments at closing.

21.Assets held for sale (continued)
The fair value of the assets reclassified as held for sale was primarily determined based on the purchase price included in the purchase and sale agreement.
The consideration from the sale included an Earn Out component the fair value of which 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.
AQN has elected not to separately disclose discontinued operations on AQN’s Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The following table summarizes AQN’s cash flows from discontinued operations.

(i)Discontinuation of hedge accounting: renewable energy business
The Canadian dollar debt within the renewable energy business and the related cross currency interest rate swaps were classified as held for sale. A C$700,000 portion of the Canadian dollar debt was hedged using cross currency interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting was discontinued on the cross currency interest rate swaps when the renewable energy business was classified as held for sale as the forecasted transaction being hedged is no longer probable. As a result, a loss of $16,685, net of tax, was recorded in loss from discontinued operations due to the reclassification of the cash flow hedge reserve from other comprehensive income into earnings.

Explanatory Notes
Unless otherwise indicated, financial information provided for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 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.
Renewables business sale
On August 9, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its renewable energy business (excluding hydro) ("Renewables sale") to a wholly-owned subsidiary of LS Power (“LS Buyer”) for total cash consideration of up to $2.5 billion (subject to certain closing adjustments), excluding debt, consisting of $2.28 billion in cash at closing and up to $220 million in cash pursuant to an earn out agreement relating to certain wind assets (the "Earn Out"). The sale remains subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions, including the approval of the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The Company currently expects the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2024 or the first quarter of 2025 and for the net cash proceeds to be approximately $1.7 to $1.8 billion (excluding the Earn Out) after repaying non-consolidated construction financing, and net of taxes, transaction fees and other closing adjustments. This represents an increase to the Company’s previous estimate as a result of the buy-out of the Carvers Creek solar project during the third quarter of 2024, resulting in consolidation of $206.9 million of construction debt.
Due to construction timing delays on certain projects, as well as the mechanisms by which the associated tax equity attributes are expected to be monetized, approximately $150 million of net proceeds described above are now expected to be obtained in late 2025. The amount and timing of the ultimate net cash proceeds will be dependent on, among other things, third-party consents and completion and final construction costs of certain in-construction assets and the associated monetization of tax credits on these projects.
The Company concluded 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, Board (as defined herein) approval to consummate the transaction, and the signing of the sale agreement all occurring within this quarter. As a result, the renewable energy business (excluding hydro) has been classified as "discontinued operations" for the current and comparative periods. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $1,298.0 million in the third quarter of 2024 as a result of the classification of the renewable energy business (excluding hydro) as “discontinued operations”. The recorded impairment loss represents an increase from the Company's original estimate primarily due to capital expenditures during the third quarter of 2024, changes in foreign exchange rates and market changes in the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the Earn-Out. However, the ultimate loss recorded upon the disposition of the renewable energy business (excluding hydro) will be dependent on, among other things, the timing and amount of future capital expenditures relating to the assets being disposed of, the associated monetization of tax credits on certain projects, which will impact the carrying value of these assets, the consideration received and other closing adjustments.
The discontinued operations operate as a distinct segment and have 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.
Unless noted otherwise, this MD&A is based on information available to management as of November 7, 2024.

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", "Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization" ("Adjusted EBITDA"), "Adjusted Funds from Operations", and "Net Utility Sales", which are used throughout this MD&A, are non-GAAP
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis

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.
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 significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures.
The composition of Adjusted EBITDA has been changed compared to AQN's MD&A for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to include expenses related to corporate administrative expenses, which are now included within operating expenses. This change was made as these expenses are used by management to evaluate the operating performance of each business unit. Comparative figures have been adjusted for this new composition.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by many investors to compare companies on the basis of ability to generate cash from operations. AQN uses these calculations to monitor the amount of cash generated by AQN. AQN uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the operating performance of AQN without the effects of (as applicable): depreciation and amortization expense, income tax expense or recoveries, acquisition and transition costs (including costs related to the 2023 strategic review of the Company's renewable energy business), certain litigation expenses, interest expense, gain or loss on derivative financial instruments, write down of intangibles and property, plant and equipment, earnings attributable to non-controlling interests exclusive of 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 its U.S. wind power and U.S. solar generation facilities), non-service pension and post-employment costs, cost related to tax equity financing, 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, gain or loss on foreign exchange, earnings or loss from discontinued operations, 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. AQN adjusts for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and are not factors used by management for evaluating the operating performance of the Company. AQN believes that presentation of this measure will enhance an investor's understanding of AQN's operating performance. The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA for each of its operating segments separately. For Adjusted EBITDA for the Regulated Services Group please see 2024 Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Regulated Services Group Adjusted EBITDA on page 20 of this MD&A. For Adjusted EBITDA for the Corporate Group and for the Hydro Group, please see Corporate Group Adjusted EBITDA and Hydro Group Adjusted EBITDA on page 28 of this MD&A. The Company previously referred to these segmented measures as "Divisional Operating Profit" and has changed the description to Adjusted EBITDA to align with industry practice. No change was made to the composition or computation thereof. Adjusted EBITDA 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 Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings, see Non-GAAP Financial Measures starting on page 34 of this MD&A.
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 (including costs related to the 2023 strategic review of the Company's renewable energy business), 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 35 of this MD&A.
Adjusted Funds from Operations
Adjusted Funds from Operations is a non-GAAP financial measure used by investors to compare cash provided by operating activities without the effects of certain volatile items that generally have no current economic impact or items such as acquisition expenses that are viewed as not directly related to a company's operating performance. AQN uses Adjusted Funds from Operations to assess its performance without the effects of (as applicable): changes in working capital balances, acquisition and transition costs, certain litigation expenses, cash provided by or used in discontinued operations, cash provided by disposition of assets and other typically non-recurring items affecting cash from operations as these are not reflective of the long-term performance of the underlying businesses of AQN. AQN believes that analysis and presentation of funds from operations on this basis will enhance an investor's understanding of the operating performance of its businesses. Adjusted Funds from Operations is not intended to be representative of cash provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and can be impacted positively or negatively by these items. For a reconciliation of Adjusted Funds from Operations to cash provided by operating activities, see Non-GAAP Financial Measures starting on page 36 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 Regulated Services Group 2024 Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Regulated Services Group Adjusted EBITDA on page 20 of this MD&A.

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis

Overview and Business Strategy
AQN is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Effective August 9, 2024, subsequent to the signing of the transaction agreement in respect of the Renewables sale, AQN revised its reportable segments to align with strategic priorities and internal governance. The new reportable segments align with how the Company assesses financial performance and makes decisions regarding resource allocations. AQN's operations are now organized across three business units consisting of: 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; the Hydro Group, consisting of the hydroelectric business which is not being sold as a part of the Renewables sale; and the Corporate Group, which includes corporate and service companies as well as the Company's investment in Atlantica. The investment in Atlantica is not being sold as a part of the Renewables sale, but is in the process of being sold in a separate transaction. The pending sale of the investment in Atlantica does not meet the criteria to qualify as a discontinued operation as its sale does not represent a strategic shift for the Company. Thus, it has now been included within the Corporate Group. The former Renewable Energy Group operating segment is reported as discontinued operations and is no longer a reportable segment (see Note 21 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements - Business acquisitions and dispositions). 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 and a strong focus on Environmental, Social and Governance factors.

Summary Structure of the Business
The following chart depicts, in summary form, AQN's key businesses. A more detailed description of AQN's organizational structure as of the date of the AIF, which includes the former Renewable Energy Group operating segment that is now classified as “discontinued operations”, can be found in the most recent AIF.

Regulated Services Group
The Regulated Services Group primarily operates a diversified portfolio of regulated utility systems located in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Chile serving approximately 1,260,000 customer connections as at September 30, 2024 (using an average of 2.5 customers per connection, this translates into approximately 3,150,000 customers). The Regulated Services Group seeks to provide safe, high quality, and reliable services to its customers and to deliver stable and predictable earnings to AQN. In addition to encouraging and supporting organic growth within its service territories, the Regulated Services Group may seek to deliver long-term growth through acquisitions of additional utility systems and pursuing "greening the fleet" opportunities.
The Regulated Services Group's regulated electrical distribution utility systems and related generation assets are located in the U.S. states of Arkansas, California, Kansas, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire and Oklahoma, as well as in Bermuda, which together served approximately 310,000 electric customer connections as at September 30, 2024. The group also owns and operates generating assets with a gross capacity of approximately 2.0 GW and has investments in generating assets with approximately 0.3 GW of net generation capacity.
The Regulated Services Group's regulated water distribution and wastewater collection utility systems are located in the U.S. States of Arizona, Arkansas, California, Illinois, Missouri, New York, and Texas as well as in Chile which together served approximately 575,000 customer connections as at September 30, 2024.
The Regulated Services Group's regulated natural gas distribution utility systems are located in the U.S. States of Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Missouri, and New York, and in the Canadian Province of New Brunswick, which together served approximately 375,000 natural gas customer connections as at September 30, 2024.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, AQN reported basic net earnings per common share of $0.06 as compared to basic net loss per common share of $0.26 during the same period in 2023, an increase of $0.32.
The net earnings attributable to shareholders of $49.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 includes earnings from continuing operations of $33.4 million and HLBV and other adjustments attributable to non-controlling interests of $16.1 million. The net earnings attributable to shareholders was primarily driven by:
•Adjusted Net Earnings of $64.9 million, as further discussed below (see Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures); partially offset by:
•other net losses of $9.5 million mainly relating to costs associated with the sale of the shares of Atlantica held by an indirect subsidiary of the Company, restructuring costs and other miscellaneous write-offs
The net loss attributable to shareholders of $174.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 includes loss from continuing operations of $174.3 million and HLBV and other adjustments attributable to non-controlling interests of $0.6 million. It was primarily driven by:
•Adjusted Net Earnings of $68.6 million, as further discussed below (see Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures); offset by:
•a loss on investments carried at fair value (primarily the Company's investment in Atlantica) of $183.8 million (net of tax); and
•other net losses of $57.5 million (net of tax) primarily due to $47.3 million of costs written off at Empire Electric related to securitization.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, AQN reported Adjusted Net Earnings per common share of $0.08 as compared to $0.10 per common share during the same period in 2023, a decrease of $0.02 (see Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures). Adjusted Net Earnings decreased by $3.7 million period over period (see Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures). This decrease was primarily driven by:
•an increase of $7.5 million in the Regulated Services Group's operating profit primarily due to the implementation of new rates at Bermuda Electric Light Company ("BELCO"), CalPeco, Empire Electric System, New York Water, Pine Bluff and Park Water Systems; offset by:
•an increase of $11.1 million in depreciation expense driven by additional capital invested by the Company; and
•a net increase of $3.0 million in interest expense representing a $9.8 million increase in reported interest expense primarily driven by a interest expense upon reclassification for the $306.5 million secured credit facility held, prior to its repayment on June 20, 2024 by Liberty Development Energy Solutions B.V. (the "Margin Loan") as debt, with an offsetting decrease in net earnings attributable to the non-controlling interest. The net increase is driven by increased borrowings to support growth initiatives.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, basic net earnings per common share and Adjusted Net Earnings per common share were also impacted by the issuance of an aggregate of 76,909,700 common shares in connection with the settlement of the Purchase contracts that were components of the Company’s outstanding Green Equity Units.(see Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures and Note 10 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements - Shareholder's capital).
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, AQN experienced an average exchange rate of Canadian to U.S. dollars of approximately 0.7333 as compared to 0.7456 in the same period in 2023, and an average exchange rate of Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars of approximately 0.0011 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to 0.0012 for the same period in 2023. As such, any period over period variance in revenue or expenses, in local currency, at any of AQN's Canadian or Chilean entities is affected by a change in the average exchange rate upon conversion to AQN's reporting currency.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, AQN reported total revenue of $573.2 million as compared to $564.8 million during the same period in 2023, an increase of $8.4 million or 1.5%. The major factors impacting AQN's revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 are as follows:

2024 Third Quarter Operating Results
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Regulated Services Group reported revenue of $551.4 million (comprised of $361.4 million of regulated electricity distribution, $65.7 million of regulated gas distribution and $124.3 million of regulated water reclamation and distribution) as compared to revenue of $542.6 million in the comparable period in the prior year (comprised of $354.3 million of regulated electricity distribution, $73.0 million of regulated gas distribution and $115.3 million of regulated water reclamation and distribution).
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Regulated Services Group reported Adjusted EBITDA of $236.2 million as compared to $228.7 million for the comparable period in the prior year (see Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures).
Highlights of the changes are summarized in the following table:
(all dollar amounts in $ millions)Three months ended September 30
Prior Period Adjusted EBITDA1
$228.7 
Existing Facilities
Electricity: Increase is primarily due to higher HLBV income of $10.5 million as a result of normalized wind resources and $10 million related to recovery of securitized regulatory assets at the Empire Electric System (MO, KS, AR, OK), partially offset by $12.9 of unfavourable weather and increased operating expenses. The increased Adjusted EBITDA related to securitized regulatory assets was offset on a net income basis by increased depreciation of the securitized regulatory assets.
7.6 
Natural Gas: Decrease is primarily related to higher operating expenses, including approximately $8.0 million related to a one-time capitalization correction and an increase in bad debt expense of $1.2 million.
(10.9)
Water: Decrease is primarily due to higher operating expenses, including $2.0 million related to a one-time regulatory asset write-off related to the New York (NY) Water System rate order.
(3.5)
Other: Decrease is primarily due to lower interest income on regulatory asset accounts primarily related to the Empire (MO) Electric System bond securitization. Proceeds from securitization were used to repay long-term debt resulting in decreased interest expense.

The case has been 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 not 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 have been 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 expect to file a settlement agreement in conjunction with supporting testimony by November 15, 2024. On October 9, 2024, the NHPUC issued a procedural order scheduling hearings for January 9, 2025 and January 15, 2025.

2024 Third Quarter Other Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, interest expense totaled $91.4 million as compared to $81.6 million in the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily driven by increased borrowings to support growth initiatives.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, depreciation expense totaled $99.4 million as compared to $88.3 million in the same period in 2023.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, change in investments carried at fair value totaled a gain of $1.6 million as compared to a loss of $212.4 million in the same period in 2023. The Company records certain of its investments, including Atlantica, using the fair value method and accordingly any change in the fair value of the investment is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations (see Note 6 in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements).
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, pension and post-employment non-service costs totaled $3.0 million as compared to $4.9 million in the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to higher expected return on plan assets.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, other net losses were $9.5 million as compared to $74.2 million in the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to securitization costs related to Empire Electric written off during the three months ended September 30, 2023 of $63.5 million. See Note 15 in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the gain on derivative financial instruments totaled $0.3 million as compared to a gain of $0.7 million in the same period in 2023. AQN uses derivative instruments to manage exposure to changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, and interest rates. The gains in the third quarter of both 2024 and 2023 were primarily related to mark-to-markets on interest rate derivatives.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, an income tax expense of $6.4 million was recorded as compared to an income tax recovery of $40.8 million during the same period in 2023. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to the tax impact from fluctuations in the fair value of the investment in Atlantica, the tax impact of higher earnings, along with the effect from the restructuring of certain intercompany financing arrangements which were executed in advance of the implementation of global minimum tax rules in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
2024 Year-to-Date Other Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, interest expense totaled $274.1 million as compared to $232.7 million in the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased borrowings to support growth initiatives as well as reclassification of the Margin Loan as debt.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, depreciation expense totaled $296.1 million as compared to $263.0 million in the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher overall property, plant and equipment.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, pension and post-employment non-service costs totaled $10.4 million as compared to $15.2 million in the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to higher expected return on plan assets.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, other net losses were $19.9 million as compared to $111.4 million in the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a loss of $46.5 million related to the termination of the stock purchase agreement regarding the acquisition of Kentucky Power Company and AEP Kentucky Transmission Company, Inc. and securitization costs related to Empire Electric of $63.5 million written off during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, partially offset by a $12.0 million contingent gain recorded in 2023 resulting from settlement of the purchase price of the Suralis Water System acquired in 2020. See Note 15 in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the gain on derivative financial instruments totaled $0.5 million as compared to a gain of $3.9 million in the same period in 2023. AQN uses derivative instruments to manage exposure to changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, and interest rates. The gains for both the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were primarily related to mark-to-markets on interest rate derivatives.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an income tax expense of $33.3 million was recorded as compared to an income tax recovery of $50.0 million during the same period in 2023. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to the tax impact from fluctuations in the fair value of the investment in Atlantica, the effect from the restructuring of certain intercompany financing arrangements which were executed in advance of the implementation of global minimum tax rules in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and the tax impact of higher earnings.

AQN determines the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated fair value of options, including the effect of estimated forfeitures, is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the options'
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis
40

vesting periods while ensuring that the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized at least equals the value of the vested portion of the award at that date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were no stock options granted to the executives of the Company. No stock options were exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
As at September 30, 2024, a total of 2,667,725 options were issued and outstanding under the stock option plan.
Performance and Restricted Share Units
AQN issues performance share units ("PSUs") and restricted share units ("RSUs") to certain employees as part of AQN's long-term incentive program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company granted (including dividends) a combined total of 2,609,512 PSUs and RSUs to employees of the Company. The awards vest based on the terms of each agreement ranging from January 2024 to January 2027. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company settled 412,530 PSUs, of which 226,390 PSUs were exchanged for common shares issued from treasury and 186,140 PSUs and RSUs were settled at their cash value as payment for tax withholding related to the settlement of the awards.
As at September 30, 2024, a combined total of 5,032,190 PSUs and RSUs were granted and outstanding under the performance and restricted share unit plan.
Directors' Deferred Share Units
AQN has a Directors' Deferred Share Unit Plan. Under the plan, non-employee directors of AQN receive all or any portion of their annual compensation in deferred share units ("DSUs") and may elect to receive any portion of their remaining compensation in DSUs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 173,857 DSUs (including DSUs in lieu of dividends) to the non-employee directors of the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company settled 368,303 DSUs in exchange for 181,374 common shares issued from treasury, and 186,929 DSUs were settled at their cash value as payment for tax withholding related to the settlement of the awards.

Bonus Deferral Restricted Share Units
The Company has a bonus deferral RSU program that is available to certain employees. The eligible employees have the option to receive a portion or all of their annual bonus payment in RSUs in lieu of cash. The RSUs provide for settlement in common shares, and therefore these RSUs are accounted for as equity awards. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company settled 1,380 bonus deferral RSUs in exchange for 641 common shares issued from treasury, and 739 bonus deferral RSUs were settled at their cash value as payment for tax withholding related to the settlement of the awards. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 49,000 bonus deferral RSUs were granted (including RSUs in lieu of dividends) to employees of the Company pursuant to the bonus deferral RSU program.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 742,619 common shares to employees under the ESPP.
As at September 30, 2024, a total of 3,853,151 common shares had been issued under the ESPP.
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 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.
Treasury Risk Management
Capital Markets and Liquidity Risk
As at September 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $8,725.0 million of long-term consolidated indebtedness, including $1,249.1 million of long-term indebtedness included in liabilities held for sale. Management of the Company believes, based on its current expectations as to the Company's future performance, that the cash flow from operations, the
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis
41

funds available under its credit facilities, the proceeds of the proposed Renewables, and Atlantica sales or from other potential future dispositions, 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, financial market disruptions, the failure or collapse of any financial institution, prevailing market views or 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 or executing on asset recycling strategies 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, investment 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, which may include accelerated asset recycling initiatives.
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 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 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 due to the impact of increasing benchmark interest rates and credit spreads on 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. Rising interest rates may also negatively impact the economics of development projects, acquisitions, dispositions and energy facilities, especially where project financing is being renewed or arranged.
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 September 30, 2024, approximately 88% 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.
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis
42

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 85% fixed rate debt. As a result, the Company hedges the interest rate risk on its variable interest rate borrowings from time to time.
Based on amounts outstanding as at September 30, 2024, 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 $535.7 million outstanding as at September 30, 2024. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $5.4 million annually;
•the Long-Term Regulated Services Credit Facility is subject to a variable interest rate and had no amounts outstanding as at September 30, 2024. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would not impact interest expense;
•the Regulated Services Delayed Draw Term Facility is subject to a variable interest rate and had $610.4 million outstanding as at September 30, 2024. Subsequent to the quarter-end, the Regulated Services Delayed Draw Term Facility was repaid on its maturity date of October 25, 2024. 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 $65.4 million outstanding as at September 30, 2024. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $0.7 million annually;
•the Bermuda Working Capital Facility is subject to a variable interest rate and had $16.0 million outstanding as at September 30, 2024. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $0.2 million;
•the Regulated Services Group's commercial paper program is subject to a variable interest rate and had $142.0 million outstanding as at September 30, 2024. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $1.4 million annually; and
•term facilities at Suralis that are subject to variable interest rates had $130.3 million outstanding as at September 30, 2024. 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.
Tax Risk and Uncertainty
The Corporation is subject to income and other taxes primarily in the United States, Canada, Bermuda, and Chile; however, it is also subject to tax in other jurisdictions. 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 Company's results from operations, returns to shareholders, and cash flows.
On June 20, 2024, Canada enacted the Excessive Interest and Financing Expenses Limitation ("EIFEL") rules and the Global Minimum Tax Act ("GMTA"). These legislative changes align with global efforts to address base erosion and profit shifting by ensuring that multinational enterprises pay a minimum level of tax on their global income.
•Under the EIFEL rules, the tax-deductible amount of interest and financing expenses is restricted to 30% of taxpayers' earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization computed for tax purposes. The EIFEL rules are applicable to the Company for the 2024 calendar year. Although at this time the Company does not expect a material impact as a result of the enactment of this significant legislation, the Company cannot ensure that there will not be a material impact in the future due to various factors including changes in capital structures, interpretations of legislation, future events and other circumstances.
•Implementation of global minimum tax rules in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates is pursuant to the Organization for Economic Development's ("OECD") initiative to prevent perceived base erosion and profit shifting. The GMTA is intended to implement the income inclusion and domestic minimum top-up tax rules that form part of the Model Rules for the Global Minimum Tax released by the OECD. The GMTA rules will be applicable to the Company for the 2024 calendar year. Based on existing interpretation of the rules, the Company does not expect these measures will have a significant impact on its financial results; however, the Company cannot provide assurance that such interpretations will not change, or additional guidance will not be issued that will negatively impact the Company's current position.
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
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis
43

authority regarding such tax positions could adversely affect the results of operations and financial position of the Corporation.
Development by the Corporation of renewable power generation facilities in the United States depends in part on federal tax credits and other tax incentives. The Inflation Reduction Act has extended and expanded certain energy credits, providing greater certainty regarding the availability of these credits on a going forward basis. However, the rules governing these tax credits still include technical requirements for credit eligibility. If the Corporation is unable to complete construction on current or planned projects within certain deadlines or satisfy certain new requirements relating to prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements, the reduced incentives or elimination of incentives may be insufficient to support continued development or may result in substantially reduced financial benefits from facilities that are completed. In addition, the Corporation has entered into certain tax equity financing transactions with financial partners for certain of its renewable power facilities in the United States, under which allocations of future cash flows to the Corporation from the applicable facility could be adversely affected in the event that there are changes in U.S. tax laws that apply to facilities previously placed in service.
Certain tax assumptions have been made by the Company in estimating the net proceeds to the Company of the pending Renewables sale and Atlantica sale. These assumptions may turn out to be incorrect or incomplete, which could reduce the net proceeds from such transactions to amounts lower than expected by the Company.
OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Dispositions, including Risks Relating to the Sale of the Company's Renewable Energy Business
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.
On August 9, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its renewable energy business to LS Buyer. The sale remains subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions, including the approval of the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Certain of these closing conditions and approvals are outside of the Company’s control. There can be no assurance that these approvals will be obtained and that the other conditions to consummating the transaction will be satisfied. In addition, governmental authorities from which the regulatory approvals are required may impose conditions on the consummation of the transaction or require changes to the terms of the transaction, which could have the effect of delaying or impeding the consummation of the transaction. Any failure or significant delay in receiving such regulatory approvals and satisfying such closing conditions may result in adverse impacts to the Company, including, but not limited to, the termination of the transaction. If closing of the transaction does not take place at all or as contemplated, the Company could suffer adverse consequences on its business, financial condition or results of operations, including the loss of investor confidence in connection with the Company’s ability to execute its strategic plan and failure to realize the expected benefits of consummating the transaction. Furthermore, if the transaction is terminated or materially delayed, the market price of the Company’s common shares and other securities may be materially adversely affected. Whether or not the Company completes the disposition of its renewable energy business, the Company has incurred, and will continue to incur, significant transaction costs in connection with the transaction.
There can be no assurance that the Company will realize the benefits that it anticipates from the sale of its renewable energy business on a timely basis or at all. If the Company does not realize the anticipated benefits from the transaction for any reason it may have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s operations, business and financial condition.
Divesting the renewable energy business involves a number of additional risks and uncertainties, including complexities involved in separating assets that will be sold from assets the Company will retain and the need to obtain third-party consents and approvals (in addition to regulatory approvals), which could, among other things, disrupt customer and supplier relationships, and the fact that the Company may be subject to additional tax obligations or loss of certain tax benefits. A portion of net proceeds of the transaction is dependent on the ability to obtain third-party change of control consents in respect of the transfer of certain renewable energy facilities. If such consents are not obtained, then ownership of the applicable renewable energy facilities and associated cash flows would be retained by the Company. The Company will be required to provide transitional services to LS Buyer for a period of time following closing of the transaction, and the Company may retain certain obligations related to divested assets, and be subject to potential liabilities related to the divested assets or their disposition. In addition, the transaction could cause disruptions in the business of the Company by

diverting the attention of the Board and management and diverting other resources (including costs) towards closing of the transaction. The transaction could also impact the Company's relationships with employees, including by increasing employee departures and turnover, and could result in accounting changes, restructuring and other disposition charges, as well as potential impairment charges or losses. The sale could negatively impact the Company's profitability, financial results and dividends because of losses that may result from the sale, the loss of revenues or a decrease in cash flows or cash available for distribution. In addition, Algonquin Power Co. may be subject to one or more further credit rating downgrades as a result of the sale process. Following the closing of the transaction, the Company will also have less diversity in the asset mix of its business and in the markets it serves. This will exacerbate the risks associated with the Company’s Regulated Services Group and increase the importance of the operations of the Regulated Services Group to the Company. Any or all of these risks could impact the Company’s financial results and business reputation.
Inflation Risk
AQN's profitability could be impacted by inflation increases above long-term averages. The Regulated Services Group'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 Regulated Services Group 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. In an effort to mitigate the risk of inflation, the Company attempts to enter into fixed price construction agreements close to the time it enters into fixed price offtake agreements.
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. Trial on the remaining two lawsuits is currently expected in January 2025. 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 seeking to condemn the utility assets of Liberty Utilities (Apple Valley Ranchos Water) Corp. ("Liberty Apple Valley"). On May 7, 2021, the 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 Court issued the Final Statement of Decision. The 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 Court. On August 2, 2022, the Court issued a ruling awarding Liberty Apple Valley approximately

45

$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 September 11, 2024, the Court of Appeal issued a tentative 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. Oral argument on the tentative decision has been scheduled for December 3, 2024. Once oral argument occurs, the Court of Appeal has 90 days to issue a final decision on the appeal.
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 recently completed the implementation of an integrated customer solution platform, which includes customer billing, enterprise resource planning systems and asset management systems. Transitioning 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 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 $697.1 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 $270.1 million over the prior two year period. Earnings have been impacted by non-cash factors such as deferred tax

recovery and expense, impairment of intangibles, property, plant and equipment and mark-to-market gains and losses on financial instruments.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
AQN's management carried out an evaluation as of September 30, 2024, under the supervision of and with the participation of AQN's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("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 CFO have concluded that as of September 30, 2024, 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 CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Management, including the CEO and the 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024, 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.
3Discontinued Operations Revenue for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $66.3 million and $240.5 million, respectively, versus $60.0 million and $213.0 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Third Quarter 2024 Operational Results and Corporate Actions
•Regulated Services Group saw growth from implementation of new rates, offset by higher depreciation, higher financing costs and greater share count - The Regulated Services Group recorded third quarter year-over-year growth in Adjusted EBITDA of 3% (see "Non-GAAP Measures" below), due to the implementation of new rates, most notably at the Bermuda, CalPeco, Empire Arkansas Electric utilities, and New York Water utility. New rates were more than offset by higher operating expenses, and depreciation. Additionally, the June, 17 2024 settlement of share purchase contracts related to AQN’s green equity units drove a higher year-over-year share count.
•New York Water settlement approval constructively concludes first rate case since acquisition – On August 15, 2024, the New York Public Service Commission issued an order authorizing a $38.6 million increase in revenues over a three-year rate plan for the Company’s New York Water utility, and including a 9.1% allowed return on equity and 48% equity ratio. New rates became effective September 1, 2024, and are being collected retroactive to April 1, 2024.


•Upcoming rate cases mark meaningful steps toward closing earned return gap – On September 20, 2024, the Company filed a rate case for its CalPeco Electric utility, seeking an increase in revenues of $39.8 million based on a return on equity of 11.0%, an equity ratio of 52.5%, and additions to rate base of approximately $150 million through the end of 2025. Additionally, on November 6, 2024, the Company filed a rate case for its Empire Electric utility in Missouri, requesting $92.1 million in revenue increases and predicated on a 10.0% allowed return on equity. The rate case, if approved, would increase rate base by approximately $534 million. Separately, the Company also expects to file a rate case for its Litchfield Park Water utility in Arizona in the first half of 2025. The three rate cases combined, if resolved in accordance with the Company’s expectations, would comprise over $700 million of the capital already invested by the Company but not yet reflected in rates. Reducing regulatory lag continues to be a core objective of AQN.

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”, “intends”, “would”, “objective” and “expects” (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: the expected sale of Company’s renewable energy business; expectations regarding rate cases, including the expected outcomes thereof; and the Company’s objective of reducing regulatory lag. 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. There can be no assurance that a sale regarding the Company’s renewable energy business will occur, or that any of the intended benefits and aims of any such transaction will be realized. 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 and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2023, 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.
Explanatory Note
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.

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 terms “Adjusted Net Earnings”, “Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization” (or “Adjusted EBITDA”), “Adjusted Funds from Operations”, and “Net Utility Sales”, which are used in this news release, are non-GAAP financial measures. An explanation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures 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, in each case, 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.
