Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp.
Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 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 across two primary business units consisting of the Regulated Services Group and the Renewable Energy Group. The Regulated Services Group primarily owns and operates a portfolio of regulated electric, water distribution and wastewater collection, and natural gas utility systems and transmission operations in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Chile; the Renewable Energy Group primarily owns and operates, or has investments in, a diversified portfolio of non-regulated renewable and thermal energy generation assets.

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 ("SEC"). 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.

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

(a) Acquisition of Sandy Ridge II Wind Facility

On February 15, 2024, Algonquin Power Fund (America) Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired the remaining 50% ownership in the Sandy Ridge II Wind Facility for consideration of $36,551. The transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. Subsequent to acquisition, the tax equity investors provided additional funding of $60,545, and a third-party construction loan of $162,341 was repaid.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the aggregate purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.


	Sandy Ridge II
Working capital	$	3,526
Property, plant and equipment	196,461
Long-term debt	(162,341)
Asset retirement obligation	(456)
Deferred tax liability	(639)
Total net assets acquired	36,551
Cash and cash equivalents	—
Net assets acquired, net of cash and cash equivalents	$	36,551

(b) Acquisition of Liberty Development JV Inc. & Liberty Development Energy Solutions B.V.

On January 4, 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 50% ownership in Liberty Development JV Inc. and Algonquin (AY Holdco) B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired the remaining 50% ownership in Liberty Development Energy Solutions B.V., for a combined purchase price of $7,859. The transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition and purchase of non-controlling interest. The consideration paid in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired of $8,696 was recorded in equity.

As a result of the transaction, $306,500 that was previously recorded as redeemable non-controlling interest held by related party was reclassified to long-term debt. See note 7(b).

On March 1, 2024, the Company sold its 100% equity interest in the 74.9 MW Windsor Locks Thermal Facility for a consideration of $17,721.

4.Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable as of March 31, 2024 include unbilled revenue of $80,937 (December 31, 2023 - $107,001) from the Company’s regulated utilities. Accounts receivable as of March 31, 2024 are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $26,657 (December 31, 2023 - $30,244).

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 ASC 980, Regulated Operations. 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. The following regulatory proceedings were recently completed:

On March 18, 2022, the Regulatory Authority ("RA") approved an annual increase of $22,800, for a revenue allowance of $224,100 for 2022 and $226,200 for 2023. The RA authorized a 7.16% rate of return, comprised of a 62% equity and an 8.92% return on equity. In April 2022, BELCO filed an appeal in the Supreme Court of Bermuda challenging the decisions made by the RA through the recent Retail Tariff Review. On February 23, 2024, the Bermuda Supreme Court issued an order denying the BELCO appeal.

As recovery of regulatory assets is subject to regulatory approval, if there were any changes in regulatory positions that indicate recovery is not probable, the related cost would be charged to earnings in the period of such determination. The Company generally does not earn a return on the regulatory balances except for carrying charges on fuel and commodity cost adjustments, rate adjustment mechanism, clean energy and other customer programs, and rate review costs of some jurisdictions. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $7,243 (2023 - $9,499) 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.

13.Related party transactions

(a)Equity-method investments

The Company provides administrative and development services to its equity-method investees and is reimbursed for incurred costs. To that effect, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company charged its equity-method investees $12,623 (2023 - $29,301).

Additionally, up to January 4, 2024, Liberty Development JV Inc., which was an equity-investee of the Company that was the Company’s joint venture with funds managed by Infrastructure and Power strategy of Ares Management, LLC for its non-regulated development platform, provided development services to the Company on specified projects, for which it earned a development fee upon reaching certain milestones. However, during the three months ended March 31, 2024 no such development fees were charged to the Company (2023 - $nil).

On January 4, 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 50% ownership in Liberty Development JV Inc. See note 3 for details.

(b)Redeemable non-controlling interest held by related party

Liberty Development Energy Solutions B.V., which was an equity investee of the Company up to January 4, 2024, has a Margin Loan in the amount of $306,500 with a previous maturity date of January 26, 2024. On January 4, 2024, Algonquin (AY Holdco) B.V., a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, acquired the remaining 50% ownership in Liberty Development Energy Solutions B.V. (see note 3 for more details). On January 8, 2024, the maturity date of the Margin Loan was extended to September 30, 2024. The Margin Loan is collateralized through a pledge of ordinary shares of Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc ("Atlantica"). A collateral shortfall would occur if the net obligation as defined in the agreement would equal or exceed 50% of the market value of such Atlantica shares, in which case the lenders would have the right to sell Atlantica shares to eliminate the collateral shortfall. The Margin Loan is repayable on demand if Atlantica ceases to be a public company or if certain other events are announced or completed that could restrict the ability of Liberty (AY Holdings) B.V.("AY Holdings") to sell or transfer its Atlantica ordinary shares. Liberty Development Energy Solutions B.V. has a preference share ownership in AY Holdings, which AQN previously reflected as redeemable non-controlling interest held by related party. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has reclassified it to long-term debt (note 7). During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred non-controlling interest attributable to Liberty Development Energy Solutions of $nil (2023 - $6,050) and recorded distributions of $nil (2023 - $5,998).

(c)Non-controlling interest held by related party

Non-controlling interest held by related party represents an interest in a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, acquired by Atlantica Yield Energy Solutions Canada Inc. ("AYES Canada") in May 2019 for $96,752 (C$130,103). During three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded distributions of $nil (2023 - $6,058).

(d) Transactions with Atlantica

On December 28, 2023, Liberty Development Spain, S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into an agreement to sell its 100% equity interests in Liberty Jimena, S.L. and Liberty Caparacena, S.L., and its 80% equity interest in Liberty Infrastructuras, S.L. to Atlantica for a nominal amount. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1,481 in 2023. The transaction closed on January 23, 2024.

Subsequent to the quarter-end, on April 9, 2024, Algonquin Power Fund (America), LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, sold its 100% equity interest in the Cedar 1 Solar Project to Ashusa Inc. a subsidiary of Atlantica, for a consideration of $2,000 and reimbursement of costs incurred.

The above related party transactions have been recorded at the exchange amounts agreed to by the parties to the transactions.

14.Non-controlling interests and redeemable non-controlling interests

Net effect attributable to non-controlling interests consists of the following:


	Three months ended
	March 31
		2024		2023

HLBV and other adjustments attributable to:
Non-controlling interests - tax equity partnership units		$	40,208	$	34,571

Redeemable non-controlling interest, held by related party		—		(6,050)
Net effect of non-controlling interests		$	31,159	$	20,529

The non-controlling tax equity investors ("tax equity partnership units") in the Company's U.S. wind power and solar power generating facilities are entitled to allocations of earnings, tax attributes and cash flows in accordance with contractual agreements. The share of earnings attributable to the non-controlling interest holders in these subsidiaries is calculated using the HLBV method of accounting.

15.Income taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the income tax expense (recovery) in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations represents an effective tax rate different than the Canadian enacted statutory rate of 26.5%. The differences are as follows:


	Three months ended
	March 31
		2024		2023
Expected income tax (recovery) expense at Canadian statutory rate		$	(34,876)	$	72,692
Increase (decrease) resulting from:
Effect of differences in tax rates on transactions in and within foreign jurisdictions and change in tax rates		(1,161)		(11,158)
Adjustments from investments carried at fair value		20,083		(29,265)
Change in valuation allowance		(3,788)		(1,467)
Non-controlling interests share of income		6,002		10,192

15.Income taxes (continued)

The following table illustrates the movement in the deferred tax valuation allowance:


	Three months ended
	March 31
		2024		2023
Beginning balance		$	97,344	$	107,583
Charged to income tax expense (recovery)		(3,788)		(1,467)
Charged (reduction) to OCI		1,998		(8,720)

Ending balance		$	95,554	$	97,396

The Company’s overall net deferred tax asset position related to Canadian attributes increased from $151,759 to $168,557 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to the decrease in the value of the Company’s investment in Atlantica. As at March 31, 2024, it is considered more likely than not that there will be sufficient taxable income in the future that will allow realization of these net deferred tax assets. The Company considered all evidence, both positive and negative, including the announcement of the sale of 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.

16.Other net losses

Other net losses consist of the following:


	Three months ended
	March 31

		2024		2023







Renewable energy business sale costs (a)		5,909		—
Kentucky termination costs (b)		—		2,752
Other (c)		4,692		710
		$	10,601	$	3,462

(a)Renewable energy business sale costs

On August 10, 2023, the Company announced that it is pursuing a sale of its renewable energy business. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred costs of $5,909 (2023 - $nil), related to this process.

(b)Kentucky termination costs

On April 17, 2023, Liberty Utilities Co. mutually agreed with American Electric Power Company, Inc. and AEP Transmission Company, LLC to terminate the purchase agreement for Kentucky Power Company and AEP Kentucky Transmission Company, Inc. Prior to the termination of such agreement, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred transaction costs of $2,752.

(c)Other

Other losses primarily consist of remarketing fees related to the Notes (Note 7(c)), and other miscellaneous write-offs.

17.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:



	Three months ended
	March 31
		2024		2023
Net earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders of AQN		$	(89,146)	$	270,139
Series A preferred share dividend		1,466		1,148
Series D preferred share dividend		946		944


Net earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders of AQN – basic and diluted		$	(91,558)	$	268,047
Weighted average number of shares
Basic		689,564,036		687,693,510
Effect of dilutive securities		—		2,454,187
Diluted		689,564,036		690,147,697

This calculation of diluted shares excludes the potential impact of the Green Equity Units that will be issued and all potential incremental shares that may become issuable pursuant to outstanding securities of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as they are anti-dilutive. This calculation of diluted shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 excludes the potential impact of the Green Equity Units and 3,995,526 securities, as they are anti-dilutive.

18.Segmented information

The Company is managed under two primary business units consisting of the Regulated Services Group and the Renewable Energy Group. The two business units are the two segments of the Company.

The Regulated Services Group, the Company's regulated operating unit, owns and operates a portfolio of electric, water distribution and wastewater collection, and natural gas utility systems and transmission operations in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Chile; the Renewable Energy Group, the Company's non-regulated operating unit, owns and operates, or has investments in, a diversified portfolio of renewable and thermal energy generation assets.

For the purposes of evaluating the performance of the business units, the Company allocates the realized portion of any gains or losses on financial instruments to the specific business units. Dividend income from Atlantica and AYES Canada are included in the operations of the Renewable Energy Group, while interest income from San Antonio Water System is included in the operations of the Regulated Services Group. Equity method income and losses are included in the operations of the Regulated Services Group or Renewable Energy Group based on the nature of the activities of the investees. 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 corporate.

19.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 under investigation, and CAL FIRE has not yet released its final report. There are currently 21 lawsuits 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. Fourteen lawsuits are brought by groups of individual plaintiffs 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 14 lawsuits also alleges the wrongful death of an individual and various subrogation claims on behalf of insurance companies). On March 6, 2024, a trial commenced in Los Angeles County Superior Court on four bellwether cases with respect to inverse condemnation liability only. If the Company’s subsidiaries were found liable in those cases, the damages, if any, would not be determined at this trial. Liberty CalPeco filed a motion to disqualify the judge, which the Court denied. On May 6, 2024, Liberty CalPeco filed a petition for writ seeking authorization to appeal this issue. In another 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. In six other lawsuits, insurance companies allege inverse condemnation and negligence and seek recovery of amounts paid and to be paid to their insureds. The likelihood of success in these lawsuits is uncertain. Liberty CalPeco intends to vigorously defend them. The Company accrued estimated losses of $66,000 for claims related to the Mountain View Fire, against which Liberty CalPeco has recorded expected recoveries from insurance of $66,000. 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 is expected to apply up to applicable policy limits.

(1) Power purchase: AQN’s electric distribution facilities have commitments to purchase physical quantities of power for load serving requirements. The commitment amounts included in the table above are based on market prices as at March 31, 2024. However, the effects of purchased power unit cost adjustments are mitigated through a purchased power rate-adjustment mechanism.

(2) Natural gas supply and service agreements: AQN’s natural gas distribution facilities and thermal generation facilities have commitments to purchase physical quantities of natural gas under contracts for purposes of load serving requirements and of generating power.

21.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 March 31, 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, rights, subscription agreements and forward physical derivatives where market data for pricing inputs are observable. Level 2 pricing inputs are obtained from various market indices and utilize discounting based on quoted interest rate curves, which are observable in the marketplace.

The Company’s level 3 instruments consist of energy contracts for electricity sales, congestion revenue rights ("CRRs") and the Company's investment in AYES Canada. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of energy contracts are the internally developed forward market prices ranging from $15.47 to $155.17 with a weighted average of $40.68 as of March 31, 2024. The weighted average forward market prices are developed based on the quantity of energy expected to be sold monthly and the expected forward price during that month. The change in the fair value of the energy contracts is detailed in notes 21(b)(ii) and 21(b)(iv). The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of CRRs are recent CRR auction prices ranging from $0.61 to $38.17 with a weighted average of $4.64 as of March 31, 2024. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's AYES Canada investment are the expected cash flows, the discount rates applied to these cash flows ranging from 8.32% to 8.82% with a weighted average of 8.53%, and the expected volatility of Atlantica's share price ranging from 27.47% to 33.19% as of March 31, 2024. Significant increases (decreases) in expected cash flows or increases (decreases) in discount rate in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

(b)Derivative instruments

Derivative instruments are recognized on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value at each reporting period.

(i)Commodity derivatives – regulated accounting

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce the cash flow variability associated with the purchase price for a portion of future natural gas purchases associated with its regulated natural gas and electric service territories. The Company’s strategy is to minimize fluctuations in natural gas sale prices to regulated customers. As at March 31, 2024, the commodity volume, in dekatherms, associated with the above derivative contracts was 2,151,952.

21.Financial instruments (continued)

(b)Derivative instruments (continued)

(i)Commodity derivatives – regulated accounting (continued)

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 (note 5(a)). 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 has sought to reduce the price risk on the expected future sale of power generation at the Sandy Ridge, Senate, Minonk and Sugar Creek Wind Facilities by entering into the following long-term energy derivative contracts.


Notional quantity (MW-hrs)	Expiry	Receive average prices (per MW-hr)	Pay floating price (per MW-hr)
3,381,054	September 2030	$24.54	Illinois Hub
315,110	December 2028	$29.17	PJM Western HUB
1,343,841	December 2027	$21.32	NI HUB
1,220,525	December 2027	$36.46	ERCORT North HUB

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 other comprehensive income (loss) 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.


Derivative	Notional quantity		Expiry	Hedged item
Forward-starting interest rate swap	$	350,000	July 2029	$350,000 subordinated unsecured notes
Cross-currency interest rate swap	C$	400,000	January 2032	C$400,000 subordinated unsecured notes
Forward-starting interest rate swap	$	750,000	April 2032	$750,000 subordinated unsecured notes
Forward-starting interest rate swap	$	575,000	June 2026	First $575,000 of the $1,150,000 senior unsecured notes issuance

(b)Derivative instruments (continued)

(ii)Cash flow hedges (continued)

The following table summarizes OCI attributable to derivative financial instruments designated as a cash flow hedge:


	Three months ended
	March 31
		2024		2023
Effective portion of cash flow hedge		$	15,927	$	22,486
Amortization of cash flow hedge		(539)		(3,487)
Amounts reclassified from AOCI		(5,926)		(1,134)


OCI attributable to shareholders of AQN		$	9,462	$	17,865

The Company expects $36,128 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 gain of $12,588 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, (2023 - gain of $321 ) was recorded in OCI.

On May 23, 2019, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap, coterminous with the subordinated unsecured notes issued on such date, to effectively convert the $350,000 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 (gain) 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. The fair value of the derivative on the redesignation date will be amortized over the remaining life of the original hedge. A foreign currency loss of $2,217 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, (2023 - loss of $67) was recorded in OCI.

(b)Derivative instruments (continued)

(iii) Foreign exchange hedge of net investment in foreign operation (continued)

Canadian operations

The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations from its Canadian-based operations. AQN manages this risk primarily through the use of natural hedges by using Canadian long-term debt to finance its Canadian operations and a combination of foreign exchange forward contracts and spot purchases.

The Company’s Canadian operations are determined to have the Canadian dollar as their functional currency and are exposed to currency fluctuations from their U.S. dollar transactions. The Company designates obligations denominated in U.S. dollars as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in its U.S. 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 $491 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, (2023 - $123) was recorded in OCI.

The Company is party to a C$300,000 fixed-for-fixed cross-currency interest rate swap to effectively convert Canadian dollar debentures into U.S. dollars. The Company designated the entire notional amount of the cross-currency interest rate swap and related short-term U.S. dollar payables created by the monthly accruals of the swap settlement as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in the Company’s U.S. operations. The gain or loss related to the fair value changes of the swap and the related foreign currency gains and losses on the U.S. dollar accruals that are designated as, and are effective as, a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation are reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. A loss of $4,004 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, (2023 - gain of $381) was recorded in OCI.

The Company is party to a fixed-for-fixed cross-currency interest rate swap to effectively convert the C$400,000 Canadian-dollar-denominated debentures into U.S. dollars. The Renewable Energy Group designated the entire notional amount of the cross-currency interest rate swap and related short-term U.S. dollar payables created by the monthly accruals of the swap settlement as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in the Renewable Energy Groups’s U.S. operations. The gain or loss related to the fair value changes of the swap and the related foreign currency gains and losses on the U.S. dollar accruals that are designated as, and are effective as, a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation are reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. A loss of $6,974 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, (2023 - gain of $12) 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 Company seeks to mitigate the volatility of energy congestion charges at the ERCOT transmission grid by entering into CRRs, which as of March 31, 2024 had a notional quantity of 1,969,065 MW-hours at prices ranging from $0.84 per MW-hr to $19.06 per MW-hr with a weighted average of $5.28 per MW-hr for April 2024 to June 2026. These CRRs are not designated as an accounting hedge.

(iv)Other derivatives and risk management (continued)

The Company is party to an interest rate cap agreement in the amount of C$390,000 for the period between January 15, 2024 and June 17, 2024.

The Company mitigates the price risk on the expected future sale of power generation of one of its solar facilities through a long-term energy derivative contract with a notional quantity of 336,444 MW-hours, a price of $25.15 per MW-hr and expiring in August 2030 as an economic hedge to the price of energy sales. The derivative contract is not designated as an accounting hedge.

The effects on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations of derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges consist of the following:

(c)Supplier financing programs

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into supplier financing programs under which the suppliers can voluntarily elect to sell their receivables. The Company agrees to pay, on the invoice maturity date, the stated amount of the invoices that the Company has confirmed through the execution of bills of exchange. The terms of the trade payable arrangement are consistent with customary industry practice and are not impacted by the supplier’s decision to sell amounts under these arrangements. As of March 31, 2024, accounts payable include confirmed invoices from designated suppliers of $67,230 (December 31, 2023 - $62,173).

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", "Net Energy Sales", "Net Utility Sales" and "Divisional Operating Profit", which are used throughout this MD&A, are non-GAAP financial measures. An explanation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures is set out below and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, in each case, can be found in this MD&A. In addition, "Adjusted Net Earnings" is presented throughout this MD&A on a per common share basis. Adjusted Net Earnings per common share is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period.

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 Divisional Operating Profit has been changed compared to AQN's MD&A for the three months ended March 31, 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. 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 28 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



Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis			5

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 29 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 30 of this MD&A.

Net Energy Sales

Net Energy Sales is a non-GAAP financial measure used by investors to identify revenue after commodity costs used to generate revenue where such revenue generally increases or decreases in response to increases or decreases in the cost of the commodity used to produce that revenue. AQN uses Net Energy Sales to assess its revenues without the effects of fluctuating commodity costs as such costs are predominantly passed through either directly or indirectly in the rates that are charged to customers. AQN believes that analysis and presentation of Net Energy Sales on this basis will enhance an investor's understanding of the revenue generation of the Renewable Energy Group. It is not intended to be representative of revenue as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For a reconciliation of Net Energy Sales to revenue, see Renewable Energy Group - 2024 First Quarter Renewable Energy Group Operating Results on page 25 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 First Quarter Regulated Services Group Operating Results on page 19 of this MD&A.

Divisional Operating Profit

Divisional Operating Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure. AQN uses Divisional Operating Profit to assess the operating performance of its business groups without the effects of (as applicable): depreciation and amortization expense, income tax expense or recoveries, acquisition costs, certain litigation expenses, interest expense, gain or loss on derivative financial instruments, write down of intangibles and property, plant and equipment, gain or loss on foreign exchange, earnings or loss from discontinued operations (excluding the sale of assets in the course of normal operations), non-service pension and post-employment costs, gains and losses on disposition of assets, 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 divisional units. Divisional Operating Profit is calculated inclusive of interest, dividend and equity income earned from indirect investments, and HLBV income. AQN believes that presentation of this measure will enhance an investor's understanding of AQN's divisional operating performance. Divisional Operating Profit 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 Divisional Operating Profit to revenue for AQN's main business units, see Regulated Services Group - 2024 First Quarter Regulated Services Group Operating Results on page 19 and Renewable Energy Group - 2024 First Quarter Renewable Energy Group Operating Results on page 25 of this MD&A.



Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis

Overview and Business Strategy

AQN is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. AQN owns and operates a diversified portfolio of regulated and non-regulated generation, distribution, and transmission assets. 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.

AQN's current quarterly dividend to shareholders is $0.1085 per common share, or $0.4340 per common share on an annualized basis. AQN believes that, on a long-term basis, its targeted annual dividend payout will allow for both a return on investment for shareholders and retention of cash within AQN to partially fund growth opportunities. Changes in the level of dividends paid by AQN are at the discretion of AQN's Board of Directors (the "Board"), with dividend levels being reviewed periodically by the Board in the context of AQN's financial performance and growth prospects.

AQN's operations are organized across two primary 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; and the Renewable Energy Group, which primarily owns and operates, or has investments in, a diversified portfolio of non-regulated renewable and thermal energy generation assets. The Company is pursuing a sale of its renewable energy business.

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 can be found in the most recent AIF.

1			See Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures.

The Company's first quarter 2024 results were positively impacted by period over period growth in the Regulated Services Group primarily due to the implementation of new rates at the CalPeco Electric System, as well as by contributions to the results of the Renewable Energy Group from facilities that reached commercial operations ("COD") in 2023. This growth was offset by increased development costs as a part of the Company’s business simplification initiative through the previously-disclosed consolidation of the Company's development joint venture. The Company was also negatively impacted by higher interest expense related to increased borrowings to support growth, and lower tax credits as a result of fewer projects expected to reach COD in 2024.

CEO Succession

Effective May 10, 2024, Chris Huskilson was appointed as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Huskilson, who has been Interim CEO since August 2023, will continue as a member of the Board. Mr. Huskilson’s CEO appointment has been made following a thorough search conducted by the Board with the support of a nationally recognized search firm.

Business Simplification

Aligned with the Company's previously stated goal to simplify its business, on January 4, 2024, the Company purchased the 50% interest previously owned by Ares (as defined herein) in Liberty Development Energy Solutions B.V. and Liberty Development JV Inc. (collectively "the Joint Ventures"), which the Company used as its non-regulated development platform. As a result, the redeemable non-controlling interest of $306.5 million held by the Joint Ventures has been reclassified to long-term debt and development costs are recorded within operating expenses.

Additionally, on January 26, 2024, the Company began to wind down its international non-regulated development activities and sold its interest in three development solar assets in Spain to Atlantica for a nominal amount.

Further, on March 1, 2024, the Company sold its 100% equity interest in the 74.9 MW Windsor Locks Thermal Facility for consideration of $17.7 million.

Sandy Ridge II Wind Facility

On February 15, 2024, the Company completed the purchase of the remaining 50% equity interest in the Sandy Ridge II Wind Facility for cash consideration of $16.9 million and debt forgiveness of $19.3 million. Tax equity funding of $60.5 million occurred after the buyout and has been recorded as an equity non-controlling interest.

New Market Solar Facility

On March 1, 2024, the Renewable Energy Group achieved COD at the approximately 100 MW New Market Solar Facility, located in Ohio. The New Market Solar Facility has agreed to sell output to the City of Cincinnati and a leading electric service provider pursuant to renewable energy purchase agreements. The Company holds a 50% equity interest in the facility which is accounted for using the equity method of accounting and holds a purchase option on the remaining 50% equity interest.

Issuance of approximately $850 million of Senior Unsecured Notes

On January 12, 2024, Liberty Utilities Co. ("Liberty Utilities") completed an offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.577% senior notes due January 31, 2029 and $350 million aggregate principal amount of 5.869% senior notes due January 31, 2034 (together, the "Senior Note Offering"). Liberty Utilities used the net proceeds from the Senior Note Offering to repay indebtedness.



Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis			10

Issuance of approximately $305.5 million of Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds

On January 30, 2024, Empire District Bondco, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Empire District Electric Company, completed an offering of approximately $180.5 million of aggregate principal amount of 4.943% Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds with a maturity date of January 1, 2035 and $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.091% Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds with a maturity date of January 1, 2039 (collectively, the "Securitization Bonds"), to recover previously incurred 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 principal asset securing these bonds is the securitized utility tariff property.

Remarketing of 1.18% Senior Notes due 2026

On March 28, 2024, the Company successfully remarketed its $1,150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.18% Senior Notes due June 15, 2026 (the "Notes"). The Notes were originally issued in June 2021, together with the related purchase contracts (the "Purchase Contracts"), as a component of the Company's corporate units (the "Green Equity Units"). In connection with the remarketing, the interest rate on the Notes was reset to 5.365%, with the maturity date remaining as June 15, 2026. The proceeds from the remarketing of the Notes were used to purchase a portfolio of treasury securities maturing on June 13, 2024. The holders of Green Equity Units hold beneficial ownership to the treasury portfolio. The funds generated upon maturity of the treasury portfolio are expected to be used on June 17, 2024 to settle the Purchase Contracts and will be correspondingly recognized on the Company’s balance sheet as of such date. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the settlement of the Purchase Contracts to reduce existing indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries and for general corporate purposes.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, AQN reported basic net loss per common share of $0.13 as compared to basic net earnings per common share of $0.39 during the same period in 2023, a decrease of $0.52.

The net loss attributable to shareholders of $89.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily driven by:

•Adjusted Net Earnings of $95.6 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 $158.3 million;

•other net losses of $10.6 million primarily due to write-off of deferred financing costs on the redemption of debt and costs associated with the 2023 strategic review and costs relating to the pursuit of the sale of the Company's renewable energy business; and

•a loss on foreign exchange of $11.9 million.

The net earnings attributable to shareholders of $270.1 million for the three months ended March 31 2023, was primarily driven by:

•Adjusted Net Earnings of $119.9 million, as further discussed below (see Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures); and

•a gain on investments carried at fair value (primarily the Company's investment in Atlantica) of $179.4 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, AQN reported Adjusted Net Earnings per common share of $0.14 as compared to $0.17 per common share during the same period in 2023, a decrease of $0.03 (see Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures). Adjusted Net Earnings decreased by $24.3 million period over period (see Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures). This decrease was primarily driven by:

•a decrease of $8.9 million in the Renewable Energy Group's operating profit primarily due to higher development spend;

•an increase of $7.9 million in depreciation expense driven by additional capital invested by the Company; and

•an increase of $20.6 million in interest expense primarily driven by increased borrowings to support growth initiatives as well as reclassification of the Margin Loan (as defined herein) as debt; partially offset by:

•an increase of $11.3 million in the Regulated Services Group's operating profit primarily due to the implementation of new rates; and

•a decrease of $6.1 million in net earnings attributable to the non-controlling interest due to reclassification of the Margin Loan as debt from non-controlling interest.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Regulated Services Group reported revenue of $624.8 million (i.e., $305.9 million of regulated electricity distribution, $234.0 million of regulated gas distribution and $85.0 million of regulated water reclamation and distribution) as compared to revenue of $674.5 million in the comparable period in the prior year (i.e., $316.0 million of regulated electricity distribution, $271.1 million of regulated gas distribution and $87.4 million of regulated water reclamation and distribution).

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Regulated Services Group reported a Divisional Operating Profit of $257.0 million as compared to $245.7 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 March 31
Prior Period Divisional Operating Profit1	$	245.7
Existing Facilities
Electricity: Increase is primarily due to higher HLBV income of approximately $6.4 million at the Empire Electric System (MO, KS, AR, OK) as a result of increased wind resources.	7.9
Natural Gas: Decrease is primarily due to higher operating expenses at the Peach State Gas System.	(1.7)
Water: Decrease is primarily due to higher recoverable operating expenses at the Park Water (CA) and Pine Bluff (AR) Water Systems.	(1.1)
Other: Decrease is primarily driven by lower interest income on regulatory asset accounts.	(3.0)
	2.1






Rate Reviews
Electricity: Increase is primarily due to the implementation of new rates at the CalPeco (CA), Empire (OK) and Granite State (NH) Electric Systems.	8.9
Natural Gas: Increase is primarily due to the implementation of new rates at the EnergyNorth (NH) and St. Lawrence (NY) Gas Systems.	3.1
Water: Decrease is primarily due to one - time revenues in the first quarter of 2023 from a retroactive rate increase at the Park (CA) Water System, partially offset by the implementation of new rates at the Pine Bluff (AR) Water System.	(1.2)

On September 30, 2021, filed its revenue allowance application in which it requested a $34.8 million increase for 2022 and a $6.1 million increase for 2023. On March 18, 2022, the Regulatory Authority ("RA") approved an annual increase of $22.8 million, for a revenue allowance of $224.1 million for 2022 and $226.2 million for 2023. The RA authorized a 7.16% rate of return, comprised of a 62% equity and an 8.92% return on equity ("ROE"). In April 2022, BELCO filed an appeal in the Supreme Court of Bermuda challenging the decisions made by the RA through the recent Retail Tariff Review. On February 23, 2024, the Bermuda Supreme Court issued an order denying the BELCO appeal.

On May 5, 2023, filed an application seeking a permanent increase in revenues of $15.5 million based on an ROE of 10.35% and an equity ratio of 55%. Temporary rates of $5.5 million were implemented on July 1, 2023. On December 13, 2023, the Department of Energy ("DOE") filed a motion seeking to dismiss the case. An evidentiary hearing was held on January 23, 2024. The case 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.

1			Many of the Renewable Energy Group's power purchase agreements ("PPAs") include annual rate increases. However, a change to the weighted average production levels resulting from higher average production from facilities that earn lower energy rates can result in a lower weighted average energy rate earned by the division as compared to the same period in the prior year.
2			Cost of Sales - Energy consists of energy purchases in the Maritime Region to manage the energy sales from the Tinker Hydro Facility which is sold to retail and industrial customers under multi-year contracts.

7			HLBV income represents the value of net tax attributes earned by the Renewable Energy Group in the period primarily from electricity generated by certain of its U.S. wind and U.S. solar generation facilities. Production tax credits ("PTCs") are earned as wind energy is generated based on a dollar per kW-hr rate prescribed in applicable federal and state statutes. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Renewable Energy Group's eligible facilities generated 1,199.9 GW-hrs representing approximately $33.6 million in PTCs earned as compared to 1,055.6 GW-hrs representing $29.6 million in PTCs earned during the same period in 2023. The majority of the PTCs have been allocated to tax equity investors to monetize the value to AQN of the PTCs and other tax attributes which are the primary drivers of HLBV income offset by the return earned by the investor. Some PTCs have been utilized directly by the Company which has lowered its overall effective tax rate.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Renewable Energy Group's facilities generated operating revenue of $84.6 million (i.e., non-regulated energy sales) as compared to $78.7 million in the comparable period in the prior year.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Renewable Energy Group's facilities generated $86.3 million of Divisional Operating Profit as compared to $95.2 million during the same period in 2023, which represents a decrease of $8.9 million or 9.3% (see Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures).

Highlights of the changes are summarized in the following table:

2024 First Quarter Corporate and Other Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, interest expense totaled $102.5 million as compared to $81.9 million in the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily driven by increased borrowings to support growth initiatives, as well as reclassification of the Margin Loan as debt.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, depreciation expense totaled $129.5 million as compared to $121.6 million in the same period in 2023.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, change in investments carried at fair value totaled a loss of $158.3 million as compared to a gain of $179.4 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 March 31, 2024, pension and post-employment non-service costs totaled $3.4 million as compared to $5.0 million in the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a one-time adjustment of $0.7 million of actuarial gains.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, other net losses were $10.6 million as compared to $3.5 million in the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to costs associated with the pursuit of a sale of the Company's renewable energy business of $5.9 million. See Note 16 in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the gain on derivative financial instruments totaled $0.1 million as compared to a gain of $2.2 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 first quarter of both 2024 and 2023 were primarily related to mark-to-markets on interest rate derivatives.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, an income tax recovery of $11.3 million was recorded as compared to an income tax expense of $24.7 million during the same period in 2023. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to the tax impact associated with the change in fair value of the investment in Atlantica and lower earnings, partially offset by higher tax expense associated with restructuring certain intercompany financing arrangements due to pending implementation of global minimum tax rules in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates and lower tax credits accrued. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company accrued $3.3 million of investment tax credits ("ITCs") and PTCs primarily associated with renewable energy projects that had been placed in service or are expected to be placed in service by the end of 2024 as compared to $12.4 million recorded in the same period in 2023. Primarily as a result of the declining share price of Atlantica, management evaluated whether a charge should be made against its Canadian net deferred tax assets and concluded that it was not necessary at this time. See Note 15 in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

Effective March 16, 2023, AQN suspended its shareholder dividend reinvestment plan (the "Reinvestment Plan") for registered holders of common shares of AQN. Effective for the first quarter 2023 dividend (paid on April 14, 2023 to shareholders of record on March 31, 2023), shareholders participating in the Reinvestment Plan began receiving cash dividends. If the Company elects to reinstate the Reinvestment Plan in the future, shareholders who were enrolled in the Reinvestment Plan at its suspension and remain enrolled at reinstatement will automatically resume participation in the Reinvestment Plan.

As at March 31, 2024, 168,595,010 common shares representing approximately 24% of total common shares outstanding had been registered with the Reinvestment Plan.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, AQN recorded $5.1 million in total share-based compensation expense, respectively, as compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2023. The compensation expense is recorded as part of operating expenses in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations. The portion of share-based compensation costs capitalized as cost of construction is insignificant.

As at March 31, 2024, total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based awards was $30.9 million and is expected to be recognized over a period of 1.2 years.

Stock Option Plan

AQN has a stock option plan that permits the grant of share options to officers, directors, employees and selected service providers. Except in certain circumstances, the term of an option shall not exceed ten (10) years from the date of the grant of the option.

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' 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 three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no stock options granted to the executives of the Company. No stock options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

As at March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company granted (including dividends) a combined total of 737,235 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 three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company settled 261,955 PSUs, of which 153,611 PSUs were exchanged for common shares issued from treasury and 108,344 PSUs and RSUs were settled at their cash value as payment for tax withholding related to the settlement of the awards.

As at March 31, 2024, a combined total of 3,549,558 PSUs and RSUs were granted and outstanding under the performance and restricted share unit plan.



Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis			35

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 three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued 53,002 DSUs (including DSUs in lieu of dividends) to the non-employee directors of the Company. The Company did not have any DSU settlements during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As at March 31, 2024, a total of 777,584 DSUs were outstanding under the Directors' Deferred Share Unit Plan.

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. The Company did not settle any bonus RSUs during the three months ended March 31, 2024. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, 2,876 bonus deferral RSUs were granted (including RSUs in lieu of dividends) to employees of the Company pursuant to the bonus deferral RSU program. Such RSUs are 100% vested.

Employee Share Purchase Plan

AQN has an Employee Share Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") which allows eligible employees to use a portion of their earnings to purchase common shares of AQN. The aggregate number of common shares reserved for issuance from treasury by AQN under this plan shall not exceed 4,000,000 shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued 212,221 common shares to employees under the ESPP.

As at March 31, 2024, a total of 3,322,753 common shares had been issued under the ESPP.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Equity-method investments

The Company entered into a number of transactions with equity-method investees in 2024 and 2023 (see Note 13 in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements).

The Company provides administrative and development services to its equity-method investees and is reimbursed for incurred costs. To that effect, the Company charged its equity-method investees1 $12.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $29.3 million during the same period in 2023. Additionally, up to January 4, 2024, Liberty Development JV Inc., which was an equity-investee of the Company that was the Company's former joint venture with funds managed by the Infrastructure and Power strategy of Ares Management, LLC ("Ares") for its non-regulated development platform, provided development services to the Company on specified projects, for which it earned a development fee that was capitalized by the Company, upon reaching certain milestones. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the three months ended March 31, 2023, no such development fees were charged to the Company. See Note 13 in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

On January 4, 2024, the Company purchased the remaining 50% of the equity of Liberty Development JV Inc. See Note 3 in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.

Redeemable non-controlling interest held by related party

Redeemable non-controlling interest held by related party represents a preference share in a consolidated subsidiary of the Company that was acquired by Liberty Development Energy Solutions B.V. Prior to the Company’s purchase of the remaining 50% of the equity of Liberty Development Energy Solutions B.V. on January 4, 2024, Liberty Development Energy Solutions B.V. was an equity-method investee of the Company (a joint venture between the Company and Ares). See Note 13 in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The preference share was used to finance a portion of the Company's investment in Atlantica. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not incur any non-controlling interest attributable to Liberty Development Energy Solutions B.V., as compared to $6.1 million during the same period in 2023, and recorded no distributions for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $6.0 million during the same period in 2023 (see Note 13 in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements).

Liberty Development Energy Solutions B.V. has a secured credit facility in the amount of $306.5 million maturing on September 30, 2024 (the "Margin Loan"). It is collateralized through a pledge of Atlantica ordinary shares. A collateral shortfall would occur if the net obligation, as defined in the credit agreement, would equal or exceed 50% of the market

1 Primarily Liberty Development JV Inc. and its subsidiaries, Blue Hill Wind Energy Project Partnership and Red Lily Wind Energy Partnership.



Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis			36

value of such Atlantica shares, in which case the lenders would have the right to sell Atlantica shares to eliminate the collateral shortfall. The Liberty Development Energy Solutions B.V. secured credit facility is repayable on demand if Atlantica ceases to be a public company or if certain other events are announced or completed that could restrict AY Holdings' ability to sell or transfer its Atlantica ordinary shares. The Company recorded no distributions to Liberty Development Energy Solutions B.V. during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $6.1 million during the same period in 2023.

On January 4, 2024, the Company purchased the remaining 50% of the equity of Liberty Development Energy Solutions B.V.. As a result, the redeemable non-controlling interest held by related party were reclassified to long-term debt in 2024. See Note 3 in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for details.

Non-controlling interest held by related party

Non-controlling interest held by related party represents interest in a consolidated subsidiary of the Company acquired by a subsidiary of Atlantica in May 2019 for $96.8 million and an interest in Algonquin (AY Holdco) B.V., a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, acquired by Liberty Development JV Inc. in November 2021 for $39.4 million. The interest was used to finance a portion of the Company's investment in the Amherst Island Wind Facility. On January 4, 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 50% ownership in Liberty Development JV, Inc. See Note 3 in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.

Transactions with Atlantica

On December 28, 2023, Liberty Development Spain, S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement to sell its 100% equity interests in Liberty Jimena, S.L. and Liberty Caparacena, S.L., and its 80% equity interest in Liberty Infrastructuras, S.L. to Atlantica for a nominal amount. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1.5 million in 2023. The transaction closed on January 23, 2024.

The above related party transactions have been recorded at the exchange amounts agreed to by the parties to the transactions.

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 March 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $9,089.9 million of long-term consolidated indebtedness. Management of the Company believes, based on its current expectations as to the Company's future performance, that the cash flow from operations, the funds available under its credit facilities, the proceeds of the proposed sale of the renewable energy business 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



Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis			37

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, including the rate increases experienced in 2022 and 2023, could materially increase the Corporation's financing costs, limit the Corporation's options for financing or investment and adversely affect its results of operations, cash flows, key credit metrics, borrowing capacity and ability to implement its business strategy.

As at March 31, 2024, approximately 87% of debt outstanding in AQN and its subsidiaries was subject to a fixed rate of interest and as a result, such debt is not subject to significant interest rate risk in the short-term time horizon.

Borrowings subject to variable interest rates can fluctuate significantly from month to month, quarter to quarter and year to year. AQN's target is to maintain a minimum of 85% fixed rate debt. As a result, the Company hedges the interest rate risk on its variable interest rate borrowings from time to time. The Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement in the amount of $390 million for the period between January 15, 2024 and June 17, 2024.

Based on amounts outstanding as at March 31, 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 $641.8 million outstanding as at March 31, 2024. The Corporate Credit Facility has locked in $30.0 million of the variable rate until June 28, 2024 through a six month interest election request. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $6.1 million annually;

•the fully drawn Margin Loan is subject to a variable interest rate and had $306.5 million outstanding as at March 31, 2024. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $3.1 million annually;

•the Long-Term Regulated Services Credit Facility is subject to a variable interest rate and had $8.0 million outstanding as at March 31, 2024. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $0.1 million annually;



Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis			38

•the Regulated Services Delayed Draw Term Facility is subject to a variable interest rate and had $610.4 million outstanding as at March 31, 2024. The Regulated Services Group has locked in the variable rate until April 27, 2024 through an interest election request. 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 $73.4 million outstanding as at March 31, 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 $8.0 million outstanding as at March 31, 2024. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $0.1 million annually;

•the Regulated Services Group's commercial paper program is subject to a variable interest rate and had $225.7 million outstanding as at March 31, 2024. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $2.3 million annually;

•the Renewable Energy Credit Facility is subject to a variable interest rate and had $318.3 million outstanding as at March 31, 2024. The Renewable Energy Credit Facility has locked in $120.0 million of the variable rate until June 28, 2024. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $2.0 million annually; and

•term facilities at Suralis that are subject to variable interest rates had $105.0 million outstanding as at March 31, 2024. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $1.1 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.

Pending tax law changes that may adversely impact the Corporation's effective tax rate (and hence, financial results) or result in additional cash taxes include, but are not limited to:

•legislation proposed in Canada to generally limit the deductibility of interest and financing expenses to 30% of tax EBITDA. If enacted in the form proposed, this legislation will generally apply to taxation years of the Corporation beginning on or after October 1, 2023; and

•implementation of global minimum tax rules in the various jurisdictions in which the Corporation operates pursuant to the Organization for Economic Development's initiative to prevent perceived base erosion and profit shifting. Legislation has been proposed in Canada pursuant to this initiative which, if enacted in the form proposed, will generally be applicable for fiscal years of a "qualifying MNE group" (as defined in such proposed legislation) beginning on or after December 31, 2023.

The proposed rules are complex and once enacted will be subject to the Corporation's judgment in its application until further guidance is available.

The Corporation cannot provide assurance that the Canada Revenue Agency, the Internal Revenue Service or any other applicable taxation authority will agree with the tax positions taken by the Corporation, including with respect to claimed expenses and the cost amount of the Corporation's depreciable properties. A successful challenge by an applicable taxation authority regarding such tax positions could adversely affect the results of operations and financial position of the Corporation.

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



Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis			39

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.

OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Dispositions, including Risks Relating to the Planned 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 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 to sell for financial, strategic and other business reasons 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 10, 2023, the Company announced its pursuit of a sale of its renewable energy business. There can be no assurance about the outcome of this sale process, the specific assets that will be sold (if any), that any specific transaction will be identified or consummated, or that any such transaction will achieve any expected result or benefit. Divesting any or all of the assets comprising the Company's renewable energy business involves a number of risks and uncertainties, including complexities involved in separating assets that may be sold from assets the Company will retain, the need to obtain regulatory approvals and other third-party consents, 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. If the Company disposes of all or a portion of the assets comprising the Company's renewable energy business, it may not be able to successfully cause a buyer to assume the liabilities related to such assets or, even if such liabilities are assumed, the Company may have difficulties enforcing its rights, contractual or otherwise, against the buyer. The Company may be required to provide transitional services to the buyer for a period of time following closing of a transaction, and the Company may retain obligations related to divested assets, and may be subject to potential liabilities that arise because of the disposition or the subsequent breaches of obligations or duties by the buyer. There are factors that could delay, prevent or otherwise adversely affect the planned sale, including but not limited to market conditions or delays in obtaining necessary counterparty approvals, regulatory approvals or clearances. In addition, whether or not any specific transaction is identified, pursued and/or consummated, the process 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 such process and the preparation of the Company to pursue and consummate a transaction. The process could also impact the Company's relationships with employees, including by increasing employee departures and turnover, could give rise to disputes with potential buyers and could result in accounting changes, restructuring and other disposition charges, as well as potential impairment charges or losses. The sale of any or all of the assets comprising the Company's renewable energy business could negatively impact the Company's profitability, financial results and dividends because of losses that may result from such a sale, the loss of revenues or a decrease in cash flows or cash available for distribution. In addition, APCo may be subject to one or more further credit rating downgrades as a result of the Corporation's pursuit of its renewable energy business. Following a sale of any or all of the assets comprising the Company's renewable energy business, the Company would also have less diversity in the asset mix of its business and in the markets it serves. 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.

The Renewable Energy Group's assets are subject to long-term PPAs and other offtake agreements, most of which are not indexed to inflation and could experience declines in profitability if operating costs increase at a rate greater than the offtake price.

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 under investigation, and CAL FIRE has not yet released its final report. There are currently 21 lawsuits 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. Fourteen lawsuits are brought by groups of individual plaintiffs 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 14 lawsuits also alleges the wrongful death of an individual and various subrogation claims on behalf of insurance companies). On March 6, 2024, a trial commenced in Los Angeles County Superior Court on four bellwether cases with respect to inverse condemnation liability only. If the Company's subsidiaries were found liable in those cases, the damages, if any, would not be determined at this trial. Liberty CalPeco filed a motion to disqualify the judge, which the Court denied. On May 6, 2024, Liberty CalPeco filed a petition for writ seeking authorization to appeal this issue. In another 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. In six other lawsuits, insurance companies allege inverse condemnation and negligence and seek recovery of amounts paid and to be paid to their insureds. The likelihood of success in these lawsuits is uncertain. Liberty CalPeco intends to vigorously defend them. The Company accrued estimated losses of $66 million for claims related to the Mountain View Fire, against which Liberty CalPeco has recorded expected recoveries from insurance of $66 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 is expected to apply up to applicable policy limits.

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 $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. The Town's appeal of the condemnation judgment and fee award have been consolidated into one appellate docket, which is proceeding before the Court of Appeals.

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 are in the process of updating their technology infrastructure systems through the implementation of an integrated customer solution platform, which includes customer billing, enterprise resource planning systems and asset management systems. The implementation of these systems is being managed by a dedicated team. Following pilot implementations, deployment began in 2022 and has occurred in a phased approach that is expected to be completed in 2024. The implementation and operation of such technology systems requires the investment of significant financial and human resources. Disruptions, delays or deficiencies in the design, implementation, or operation of these technology systems or integration of these systems with other existing information technology or operations technology could: adversely affect the Company's operations, including its ability to monitor its business, pay its suppliers, bill its



Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis			41

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 $619.4 million and $778.6 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 $253.2 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 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.

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. Announces CEO Update and 2024 First Quarter Financial Results

Chris Huskilson appointed Chief Executive Officer

OAKVILLE, Ontario - May 10, 2024 - Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (TSX/NYSE: AQN) (“AQN” or the “Company”) announced today that the Board of Directors has appointed Chris Huskilson as Chief Executive Officer with immediate effect. Mr. Huskilson, who has been Interim CEO since August 2023, will continue as a member of the Board. Mr. Huskilson’s CEO appointment has been made following a thorough search conducted by the Board with the support of a nationally recognized search firm.

Kenneth Moore, the Chair of the Board, said, “The Board is extremely pleased to have selected Chris based on the progress being made at this important time in the Company’s history. Chris has both a tremendous track-record and significant industry experience, making him well-suited to lead AQN as it continues its strategic transformation into a pure-play regulated utility. The Board and Chris continue to work on the longer term CEO succession plan.”

Mr. Huskilson said, “After serving as Interim CEO for the last nine months, I am more convinced than ever that we are on the right path. I see opportunity throughout the business to improve our consistency and profitability as we look to successfully execute on the sale of our renewables business and focus on our regulated utilities as a stand-alone business.”

First Quarter Financial Results

The Company also announced today financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. All amounts are shown in United States dollars (“U.S. $” or “$”), unless otherwise noted.

“In the first quarter, we continued our efforts to simplify the business and transition towards a pure-play regulated strategy, which included successfully winding down our international non-regulated development activities and our North American development joint venture,” said Mr. Huskilson. "Our renewables results came in on target and we continue to make progress on the sale with an unchanged timetable. Although I am pleased to see growth in our Regulated Net Utility Sales and Divisional Operating Profit1, we have more work ahead to reduce our cost structure and focus on the Regulated Services Group as a standalone business.”

Mr. Huskilson continued, “It was also a busy quarter on the capital front, having closed approximately $2.3 billion in financing transactions. We appreciate investor confidence in the Company and the work we are doing to create long-term value for shareholders.”

•First Quarter Net Utility Sales and Net Energy Sales1 of $519.9 million, an increase of 6%;

•First Quarter Adjusted EBITDA1 of $344.3 million, an increase of 1%;

•First Quarter Adjusted Net Earnings1 of $95.6 million, a decrease of 20%; and

•First Quarter Adjusted Net Earnings1 per common share of $0.14, a decrease of 18%, in each case on a year-over-year basis.

1 Please refer to "Non-GAAP Measures" below for further details.

First Quarter 2024 Highlights

•Regulated Divisional Operating Profit growth from new rate implementations and recovery of investments – The Regulated Services Group recorded year-over-year growth in Divisional Operating Profit of 5% (see “Non-GAAP Measures” below). This increase is primarily due to the implementation of new rates and recovery of investments made at the CalPeco, Empire Oklahoma, and Granite State Electric Systems, as well as improved wind production at Empire Electric.

•Update of new renewable energy facilities within the Renewable Energy Group – During the first quarter, the Company purchased the remaining 50% equity interest in the Sandy Ridge II Wind Facility.

•Over $2.3 billion of financing transactions closed, including successful remarketing of senior notes, underpins investor confidence in AQN – The first quarter of 2024 was busy on the financing front for AQN. Successful initiatives included:

◦Issuance of approximately $850.0 million of Senior Notes – On January 12, 2024, Liberty Utilities Co. completed an offering of $850.0 million of senior notes. Net proceeds of the offering were used to repay indebtedness.

▪Issuance of approximately $305.5 million of Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds – On January 30, 2024, Empire District Bondco, LLC completed an offering of approximately $305.5 million of securitized utility tariff bonds to recover previously incurred qualified extraordinary costs associated with the February 2021 extreme winter storm conditions experienced in Texas and parts of the central U.S. and energy transition costs related to the retirement of the Asbury generating plant.

▪Remarketing of 1.18% Senior Notes due 2026 – On March 28, 2024, the Company successfully remarketed its $1,150.0 million of previously-issued senior notes related to its green equity units. The proceeds from the remarketing were used, as an interim step prior to settlement of the

purchase contracts issued as a component of the green equity units, to purchase a portfolio of treasury securities maturing on June 13, 2024, and funds generated upon maturity of the treasury portfolio are expected to be used on June 17, 2024 to settle the purchase contracts.

•Progress on business simplification strategy – During the first quarter, the Company continued to execute on its previously-stated goal of simplifying the overall business. These initiatives included purchasing the 50% interest previously owned by Ares in Liberty Development Energy Solutions B.V. and Liberty Development JV Inc., which the Company had used as its non-regulated development platform, selling its interest in three development solar assets in Spain to Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc, and selling its 100% equity interest in the 74.9 MW thermal facility in Windsor Locks, Connecticut.

•Quarterly Adjusted Net Earnings per share growth offset by simplification and growth funding - For the quarter, the Company’s Adjusted Net Earnings per share were down $0.03 year over year, with growth in the Company’s regulated business offset by the winding down of the Company’s development joint venture, increased interest expense to support growth, and a resumption of tax credit recoveries to a more normalized run rate versus the same period in the prior year (see “Non-GAAP Measures” below).

AQN's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and management discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (the "Interim MD&A") will be available on its website at www.AlgonquinPower.com and in its corporate filings on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com (for Canadian filings) and EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar (for U.S. filings).

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”, “target” 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: long-term value creation for shareholders; the Company’s pursuit of a sale of its renewable energy business, including the timetable therefor; and the use of proceeds from financing activities. 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.

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”, "Divisional Operating Profit", “Net Utility Sales” and “Net Energy 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.

1			Many of the Renewable Energy Group’s power purchase agreements include annual rate increases. However, a change to the weighted average production levels resulting from higher average production from facilities that earn lower energy rates can result in a lower weighted average energy rate earned by the division as compared to the same period in the prior year.
2			Cost of Sales - Energy consists of energy purchases in the Maritime Region to manage the energy sales from the Tinker Hydro Facility which is sold to retail and industrial customers under multi-year contracts.

3			See Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures.
4			This table contains a reconciliation of Net Energy Sales to revenue. The relevant sections of the table are derived from and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations and Note 18 in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, “Segmented information”. This supplementary disclosure is intended to more fully explain disclosures related to Net Energy Sales and provides additional information related to the operating performance of AQN. Investors are cautioned that Net Energy Sales should not be construed as an alternative to revenue.
5			Qualifying renewable energy projects receive renewable energy credits ("RECs") for the generation and delivery of renewable energy to the power grid. The RECs represent proof that 1 MW-hr of electricity was generated from an eligible energy source.
6			Includes dividends received from Atlantica and related parties (see Notes 6 and 13 in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements) as well as the equity investment in the Stella, Cranell, East Raymond and West Raymond Wind Facilities.


7			HLBV income represents the value of net tax attributes earned by the Renewable Energy Group in the period primarily from electricity generated by certain of its U.S. wind and U.S. solar generation facilities. Production tax credits ("PTCs") are earned as wind energy is generated based on a dollar per kW-hr rate prescribed in applicable federal and state statutes. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Renewable Energy Group's eligible facilities generated 1,199.9 GW-hrs representing approximately $33.6 million in PTCs earned as compared to 1,055.6 GW-hrs representing $29.6 million in PTCs earned during the same period in 2023. The majority of the PTCs have been allocated to tax equity investors to monetize the value to AQN of the PTCs and other tax attributes which are the primary drivers of HLBV income offset by the return earned by the investor. Some PTCs have been utilized directly by the Company which has lowered its overall effective tax rate.
8			Certain prior year items have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
