Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp.
Notes to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2023 and 2022
(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 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 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 consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and follow disclosure required under Regulation S-X provided by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim 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 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, 2022.

(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 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 consolidated financial statements, the Company denotes any amounts denominated in Canadian dollars with “C$”, in Chilean pesos with "CLP" and in Chilean Unidad de Fomento with “CLF” immediately prior to the stated amount.

  1. Recently issued accounting pronouncements

(a)Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-04, Liabilities — Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, which requires that a buyer in a supplier finance program disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. See note 21(c) for details.

(b)Recently issued accounting guidance not yet adopted

The FASB issued ASU 2023-02, Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method — a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force, which permits a reporting entity, if certain conditions are met, to elect to account for its tax equity investments by using the proportional amortization method regardless of the program from which it receives income tax credits. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the applicability and potential impact of the new guidance.

(b)Recently issued accounting guidance not yet adopted (continued)

The FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Joint Venture Formations: Recognition and Initial Measurement, which requires a joint venture to recognize and initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value as at the joint venture formation date. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. Additionally, a joint venture formed before January 1, 2025 may elect to apply the amendments retrospectively if it has sufficient information. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the applicability and potential impact of the new guidance.

3.Business acquisitions

(a)    Kentucky Power Company and AEP Kentucky Transmission Company, Inc.

On October 26, 2021, Liberty Utilities Co., an indirect subsidiary of AQN, entered into an agreement (the “Kentucky Acquisition Agreement”) with American Electric Power Company, Inc.

5.Regulatory matters

The operating companies within the Regulated Services Group are subject to regulation by the respective 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 (formerly called ESSAL), 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 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:

Utility State or country Regulatory proceeding type Details
CalPeco Electric System California General rate review On April 27, 2023, the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) issued a final order approving a revenue increase of $26,979. New rates became effective in June 2023 retroactive to January 2022. The retroactive impact of this final order was recorded in the second quarter of 2023.
St. Lawrence Gas New York General rate review On June 22, 2023, the New York State Department of Public Services issued an Order authorizing a revenue increase of $5,249 to be implemented over three years. New rates became effective July 1, 2023.
Empire Electric Missouri Securitization In February 2021, the Company's operations were impacted by extreme winter storm conditions experienced in Texas and parts of the central U.S. (“the Midwest Extreme Weather Event”). On January 19, 2022, Empire Electric filed a petition for securitization of the costs associated with the impact of the Midwest Extreme Weather Event. On March 21, 2022, Empire Electric filed a petition for securitization of the costs associated with the retirement of the Asbury generating plant. On August 18, 2022, and September 22, 2022, the Missouri Public Service Commission (“the MPSC”) issued and amended, respectively, a Report and Order authorizing Empire Electric to securitize approximately $290,383 in qualified extraordinary costs (Midwest Extreme Weather Event), energy transition costs (Asbury) and upfront financing costs associated with the proposed securitization. Empire Electric filed an appeal of the MPSC order on November 10, 2022. On August 1, 2023 the court affirmed the amount eligible for securitization of $290,383. The Company intends to securitize in line with the MPSC’s order to recover the costs associated with the Midwest Extreme Weather Event and the remaining book value of Asbury. The MPSC’s order excludes a portion of carrying costs and taxes associated with Asbury, and the Company has incurred a one-time net loss of $63,495 ($48,452 net of tax).

10.Shareholders’ capital (continued)

(a)Common shares (continued)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not issue common shares under the ATM Program. As of November 9, 2023, the Company has issued, since the inception of its initial ATM Program in 2019, a cumulative total of 36,814,536 common shares at an average price of $15.00 per share for gross proceeds of $551,086 ($544,295 net of commissions). Other related costs, primarily related to the establishment and subsequent re-establishment of the ATM Program, were $4,843

Dividend reinvestment plan

The Company has a common shareholder dividend reinvestment plan, which, when the plan is active, provides an opportunity for holders of AQN’s common shares who reside in Canada, the United States, or, subject to AQN’s consent, other jurisdictions, to reinvest the cash dividends paid on their common shares in additional common shares, which at AQN’s election, are either purchased on the open market or newly issued from treasury. Effective March 3, 2022, common shares purchased under the plan were issued at a 3% discount (previously at 5%) to the prevailing market price (as determined in accordance with the terms of the plan). Effective March 16, 2023, AQN suspended the dividend reinvestment plan. Effective for the first quarter 2023 dividend (paid on April 14, 2023 to shareholders of record on March 31, 2023), shareholders participating in the dividend reinvestment plan began receiving cash dividends.If the Company elects to reinstate the dividend reinvestment plan in the future, shareholders who were enrolled in the dividend reinvestment plan at its suspension and remain enrolled at reinstatement will automatically resume participation in the dividend reinvestment plan.

(b)Share-based compensation

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, AQN recorded $3,877 and $7,772, respectively (2022 - $3,055 and $6,550, respectively) in total share-based compensation expense. The compensation expense is recorded with operating expenses in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations. The portion of share-based compensation costs capitalized as cost of construction is insignificant.

As of September 30, 2023, total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based awards were $27,290 and are expected to be recognized over a period of 2.01 years

Share option plan

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") approved the grant of 1,368,744 options to executives of the Company. The options allow for the purchase of common shares at a weighted average price of C$10.76, the market price of the underlying common shares at the date of grant. One-third of the options vest on each of December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025. The options may be exercised up to eight years following the date of grant.

The following assumptions were used in determining the fair value of share options granted:

2023
Risk-free interest rate 3.4
Expected volatility 27
Expected dividend yield 8.6
Expected life 5.50 years
Weighted average grant date fair value per option 1.04

All values are in US Dollars.

Performance and restricted share units

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a total of 2,478,885 performance share units ("PSUs") and restricted share units ("RSUs") were granted to employees of the Company.

13.Related party transactions (continued)

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

Liberty Development Energy Solutions (note 6(a)), an equity investee of the Company and a subsidiary of Liberty Development JV Inc., has a secured credit facility in the amount of $306,500 maturing on January 26, 2024. It is collateralized through a pledge of Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc (“Atlantica”) ordinary shares. 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 Liberty Development Energy Solutions 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. Liberty Development Energy Solutions has a preference share ownership in AY Holdings, which AQN reflects as redeemable non-controlling interest held by related party. Redemption is not considered probable as of September 30, 2023. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred non-controlling interest attributable to Liberty Development Energy Solutions of $6,838 and $19,237, respectively (2022 - $4,450 and $10,111, respectively) and recorded distributions of $6,409 and $18,708, respectively (2022 - $3,576 and $8,980, respectively).)

(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) 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 $39,376. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded distributions of $491 and $11,470, respectively (2022 - $3,147 and $16,103, respectively).

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

15.Income taxes

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the income tax expense (recovery) in the unaudited interim 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 Nine months ended
September 30 September 30
2023 2022 2023 2022
Expected income tax recovery at Canadian statutory rate $ (63,650) $ (60,116) $ (75,553) $ (66,235)
Increase (decrease) resulting from:
Effect of differences in tax rates on transactions in and within foreign jurisdictions and change in tax rates (12,772) (11,709) (29,490) (30,748)
Adjustments from investments carried at fair value 27,127 35,197 38,219 53,426

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

Charged (reduction) to OCI 2,485 1,736 (12,653) 6,037
Reductions to other accounts — — — (211)
Ending balance $ 97,640 $ 28,893 $ 97,640 $ 28,893

The Company’s overall net deferred tax asset position related to Canadian attributes increased from $83,434 to $143,685 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the decrease in the value of the Company’s investment in Atlantica. As at September 30, 2023, 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.

17.Basic and diluted net loss per share

Basic and diluted loss per share have been calculated on the basis of 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.

This calculation of diluted shares excludes the potential impact of the Green Equity Units and all potential incremental shares that may become issuable pursuant to outstanding securities of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 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, natural gas, water distribution and wastewater collection 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 a diversified portfolio of renewable and thermal electric generation assets in North America and internationally.

The Company announced that it is pursuing a sale of its renewable energy business. The anticipated sale has not met the accounting requirements to be presented as held for sale as of September 30, 2023.

For purposes of evaluating the performance of the business units, the Company allocates the realized portion of any gains or losses on financial instruments to the specific business units. Dividend income from Atlantica and AYES Canada is 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 gains 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 consolidated financial statements. Accruals for any contingencies related to these items are recorded in the unaudited interim 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 18 active lawsuits that name certain subsidiaries of the Company as defendants in connection with the Mountain View Fire, as well as one non-litigation claim brought by the U.S. Department of Agriculture seeking reimbursement for alleged fire suppression costs. Twelve 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 12 lawsuits also alleges the wrongful death of an individual and various subrogation claims on behalf of insurance companies). 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 five 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 cannot be reasonably predicted. Liberty CalPeco intends to vigorously defend them. The Company has wildfire liability insurance that is expected to apply up to applicable policy limits.

(b)Commitments

In addition to the commitments related to the development projects disclosed in note 6, the following significant commitments exist as of September 30, 2023.

AQN has outstanding purchase commitments for power purchases, natural gas supply and service agreements, service agreements, capital project commitments and land easements. Detailed below are estimates of future commitments under these arrangements:

(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 September 30, 2023. 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 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 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 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 $27.33 to $132.13 with a weighted average of $37.94 as of September 30, 2023. 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 $nil to $18.44 with a weighted average of $4.45 as of September 30, 2023. 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 8.53% to 9.03% with a weighted average of 8.83%, and the expected volatility of Atlantica's share price ranging from 26.99% to 34.89% as of September 30, 2023. 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 consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value at each reporting period.

(i)Commodity derivatives – regulated accounting

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce the cash flow variability associated with the purchase price for a portion of future natural gas purchases associated with its regulated natural gas and electric service territories. The Company’s strategy is to minimize fluctuations in natural gas sale prices to regulated customers. As at September 30, 2023, the commodity volume, in dekatherms, associated with the above derivative contracts was 3,769,241.

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. 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). 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<br>(MW-hrs) Expiry Receive average<br>prices (per MW-hr) Pay floating price<br>(per MW-hr)
3,679,081 September 2030 $24.54 Illinois Hub
386,316 December 2028 $29.13 PJM Western HUB
1,638,351 December 2027 $21.59 NI HUB
1,431,986 December 2027 $36.46 ERCOT North HUB

The Company is party to two interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk that interest rates will increase over the life of certain term loan facilities. Under the terms of the interest rate swap contracts, the Company has fixed its interest rate expense on such term loan facilities. The fair value of the derivative on the designation date is amortized into earnings over the remaining life of the contract.

The Company is party to a forward-starting interest rate swap in order to reduce the interest rate risk related to the quarterly interest payments between July 1, 2024 and July 1, 2029 on the $350,000 subordinated unsecured notes. The Company designated the entire notional amount of the pay-variable and receive-fixed interest rate swaps as a hedge of the future quarterly variable-rate interest payments associated with the subordinated unsecured notes.

In January 2022, the Company entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap, coterminous with the issuance of C$400,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.25% fixed-to-fixed reset rate junior subordinated notes series 2022-A due January 18, 2082 (the “Canadian Notes”), to effectively convert the C$400,000 into U.S. dollars. The change in the carrying amount of the Canadian Notes due to changes in spot exchange rates is recognized each period in the unaudited interim 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 Canadian Notes. An offsetting portion of the AOCI balance related to changes in fair value of the cross-currency fixed-for-fixed interest rate swap attributable to changes in the spot exchange rates is also immediately reclassified into the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations as an offsetting loss (gain) on foreign exchange.

Amounts reclassified from AOCI (8,510) 47,980 (1,751) 62,059
OCI attributable to shareholders of AQN $ 13,985 $ 1,451 $ 68,271 $ (70,314)

The Company expects $25,153 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 $7,759 and $1,314 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively (2022 - gain of $2,454 and $2,674, respectively) was recorded in OCI.

On May 23, 2019, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap, coterminous with the subordinated unsecured notes, 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 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 $1,528 and $8,537 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively (2022 - gain of $18,033 and $24,498, respectively) was recorded in OCI.

(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 seeks to manage 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 $2,193 and gain of $731 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively (2022 - loss of $17,238 and $19,782, respectively) 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. In February 2022, the Company settled the related cross-currency swap related to its C$200,000 debenture that was repaid. 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 $4,908 and $561 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively (2022 - loss of $6,110 and $12,190, respectively) 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 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 C$6,313 and C$1,326 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively (2022 - loss of C$146 and C$14,398, respectively) was recorded in OCI.

Chilean operations

The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations from its Chilean-based operations. The Company's Chilean operations are determined to have the Chilean peso as their functional currency. Chilean long-term debt used to finance the operations is denominated in Chilean Unidad de Fomento.

(iv)Other derivatives and risk management

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to financial risks that potentially impact its operating results. The Company employs risk management strategies with a view to mitigating these risks to the extent possible on a cost-effective basis. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage certain exposures to fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company does not enter into derivative financial agreements for speculative purposes. For derivatives that are not designated as hedges, the changes in the fair value are immediately recognized in earnings.

The Company seeks to mitigate the volatility of energy congestion charges at the ERCOT transmission grid by entering into CRRs, which as of September 30, 2023 had a notional quantity of 919,014 MW-hours at prices ranging from $0.84 per MW-hr to $19.06 per MW-hr with a weighted average of $5.10 per MW-hr for April 2023 to April 2025. 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, 2023 and January 15, 2024. The Company was party to an interest rate swap to mitigate the interest rate risk related to debt at its Blue Hill Wind Facility. The contract was novated upon the sale of the Blue Hill Wind Facility in 2022. The loss recognized on the derivative was recorded as a reduction of the gain on sale of renewable assets on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations.

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 357,494 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 consolidated statements of operations of derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges consist of the following:

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis

between subsequent actual events and such forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable law. All forward-looking information contained herein is qualified by these cautionary statements.

Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures

AQN uses a number of financial measures to assess the performance of its business lines. Some measures are calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, while other measures do not have a standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, each as defined in Canadian National Instrument 52-112 Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure. AQN’s method of calculating these measures may differ from methods used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

The terms “Adjusted Net Earnings”, “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 compositions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Earnings, Adjusted Funds from Operations, and Divisional Operating Profit have been changed from those previously disclosed in the Annual MD&A to exclude gains and losses on disposition of assets. This change was made as gains and losses on disposition of assets are no longer used by management to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. Comparative figures for these metrics have been adjusted for the new compositions.

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 strategic review of the Renewable Energy Group), 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, 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 35 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 strategic review of the Renewable Energy Group), 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

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis

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, and other typically non-recurring or unusual items as these are not reflective of the performance of the underlying business of AQN. AQN believes that analysis and presentation of net earnings or loss on this basis will enhance an investor’s understanding of the operating performance of its businesses. Adjusted Net Earnings is not intended to be representative of net earnings or loss determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and can be impacted positively or negatively by these items. For a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Earnings to net earnings, see Non-GAAP Financial Measures starting on page 36 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 37 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 - 2023 Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Renewable Energy Group Operating Results on page 30 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 - 2023 Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Regulated Services Group Operating Results on page 20 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, corporate administrative expenses, 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 - 2023 Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Regulated Services Group Operating Results on page 20 and Renewable Energy Group - 2023 Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Renewable Energy Group Operating Results on page 30 of this MD&A.

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 which are expected to deliver predictable earnings and cash flows. 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.

Outlook

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements and Forward-Looking Information section in this MD&A. Actual results may differ materially from the estimates below. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these estimates.

2023 Adjusted Net Earnings Per Common Share

In light of factors including the unfavourable weather impact experienced by the Company during the first nine months of 2023 and higher interest rates, the Company expects to come in at or below the low end of its previously-disclosed Adjusted Net Earnings per common share estimate for the 2023 fiscal year of $0.55-$0.61 (see Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures). Estimated 2023 Adjusted Net Earnings per common share is calculated excluding the impact of gains and losses from asset dispositions, but is otherwise calculated in a manner consistent with the description set out under Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures - Adjusted Net Earnings.

The Company’s 2023 Adjusted Net Earnings per common share estimate is based on the following key assumptions, as well as those set out under Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements and Forward-Looking Information:

•normalized weather patterns in the geographical areas in which the Company operates or has projects;

•renewable energy production consistent with long-term average and realized pricing in line with expectations;

•capital projects, including renewable energy generation projects, being completed on time and substantially in line with budgeted costs;

•the absence of significant changes in the macroeconomic environment, including with respect to interest rates and inflation;

•rate decisions in line with expectations;

•a Canadian dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate and a Chilean Peso/U.S. dollar exchange rate in line with expectations;

•operating expenses in line with expectations;

•a low single-digit percent effective tax rate, including tax credits; and

•the Renewable Energy Group continuing to be classified as continuing operations for accounting purposes for the duration of 2023.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, AQN reported basic net loss per common share of $0.26 as compared to basic net loss per common share of $0.29 during the same period in 2022, an increase of $0.03.

The net loss attributable to shareholders of $174.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily driven by:

•a loss on investments carried at fair value (primarily the Company's investment in Atlantica) of $220.8 million;

•other net losses of $75.2 million, including a write-off of $63.5 million for the portion of the Company’s costs related to the Asbury coal plant not covered by the Securitization Order (as defined herein) (the “Securitization Write-Off”), partially offset by operating income discussed below.

The net loss attributable to shareholders of $195.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily driven by:

•a loss on investments carried at fair value (primarily the Company's investment in Atlantica) of $300.4 million, partially offset by operating income discussed below.

For both the three months ended September 30, 2023 and the three months ended September 30, 2022, AQN reported Adjusted Net Earnings per common share of $0.11 (see Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures). Adjusted Net Earnings increased by $5.8 million year over year (see Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures). This increase was primarily driven by:

•an increase of $17.1 million in the Regulated Services Group's operating profit primarily due to regulatory mechanisms and the implementation of new rates;

•an increase in tax recovery of $20.8 million primarily due to higher recognition of investment tax credits ("ITCs") and production tax credits ("PTCs") primarily associated with renewable energy projects. The higher recognition of tax credits is due in part to a reversal of ITCs for the New Market Solar Project which occurred in the comparative three months ended September 30, 2022; and

•a decrease of $3.4 million in depreciation expense due to the impact of lower wind resources on units of production depreciation; partially offset by

•a decrease of $5.2 million in the Renewable Energy Group's operating profit primarily as a result of lower wind and solar resource availability;

•an increase of $19.2 million in interest expense, driven by higher interest rates as well as increased borrowings to support growth initiatives; and

•an increase of $4.4 million in administrative expenses primarily due to technology costs, including costs associated with cyber security.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, AQN experienced an average exchange rate of Canadian to U.S. dollars of approximately 0.7456 as compared to 0.7656 in the same period in 2022, and an average exchange rate of Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars of approximately 0.0012 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to 0.0011 for the same period in 2022. As such, any year over year variance in revenue or expenses, in local currency, at any of

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

AQN’s Canadian or Chilean entities is affected by a change in the average exchange rate upon conversion to AQN’s reporting currency.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, AQN reported total revenue of $624.7 million as compared to $664.4 million during the same period in 2022, a decrease of $39.7 million or 6.0%. The major factors impacting AQN’s revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 are as follows:

Proceedings related to the Midwest Extreme Weather Event and the Retirement of Asbury

The February 2021 extreme winter storm conditions experienced in Texas and parts of the central U.S. (the "Midwest Extreme Weather Event") resulted in an extraordinary increase in costs incurred by Empire Electric for the purchase of fuel and power on behalf of its customers.

When Empire Electric filed its most recent Missouri rate case (the "Empire Rate Case") in May 2021, a request to recover the costs related to the Midwest Extreme Weather Event was included. In July 2021, Missouri House Bill 734 was signed into law, creating an option for utilities to finance the recovery of extraordinary weather event costs through securitization (the "Securitization Statute"). When it filed its surrebuttal testimony in January 2022, Empire Electric removed all costs related to the Midwest Extreme Weather Event from its rate request. Pursuant to the Securitization Statute, Empire Electric sought authorization for the issuance of approximately $222 million in securitized utility tariff bonds associated with the Midwest Extreme Weather Event.

In addition, as part of its 2017 and 2019 Integrated Resource Plans (“IRPs”), Empire Electric analyzed the effects of retiring Asbury, a coal-fired generation unit that was constructed in 1970, and determined that doing so would generate significant savings to customers. Asbury was retired on March 1, 2020. On July 23, 2020, the Missouri Public Service Commission ("MPSC") issued an Administrative Accounting Order ("AAO") that directed Empire Electric to establish regulatory asset and liability accounts, beginning January 1, 2020, to reflect the impact of the closure of Asbury on operating and capital expenses in Missouri.

Empire Electric initially sought to recover its Asbury related revenues and expenses, along with the balance of the AAO, in the Empire Rate Case. Following the passage of the Securitization Statute, all Asbury related balances were removed from the Empire Rate Case and, on March 21, 2022, Empire Electric filed a petition to securitize the Asbury related balances pursuant to the Securitization Statute. Empire Electric sought authority to issue approximately $141 million in securitized utility tariff bonds for its Asbury costs, which include approximately $21 million in Asset Retirement Obligations, which are estimates of costs that Empire Electric will recover from the Asbury retirement but which have not yet been incurred.

On April 27, 2022, the MPSC issued an order consolidating, for purposes of hearing, the cases regarding the quantum financeable through securitization for Asbury and the Midwest Extreme Weather Event, which hearing was held the week of June 13, 2022. On August 18, 2022, and September 22, 2022, the MPSC issued and amended, respectively, a Report and Order authorizing Empire Electric to securitize approximately $290.4 million in qualified extraordinary costs (Midwest Extreme Weather Event), energy transition costs (Asbury) and upfront financing costs associated with the proposed securitization (the “Securitization Order”). The amounts authorized by the Securitization Order are generally consistent with the costs deferred by the Company in relation to these matters. Empire Electric filed a request for rehearing seeking reconsideration of the MPSC’s denial of recovery of five percent of the Midwest Extreme Weather Event costs, its calculation of accumulated deferred income taxes, and the exclusion of certain carrying charges associated with the Asbury plant, among other issues. On October 12, 2022, the MPSC denied all rehearing motions. Empire Electric appealed to the Missouri Court of Appeals – Western District on November 10, 2022. Oral arguments were heard in July 2023. On August 1, 2023, the court affirmed the amount eligible for securitization of $290.4 million. The Company intends to securitize in

line with the MPSC’s order to recover the costs associated with the Midwest Extreme Weather Event and the remaining book value of Asbury. The MPSC's order excludes a portion of carrying costs and taxes associated with Asbury, and the Company has incurred a one-time net loss of $63.5 million ($48.5 million net of tax).

2023 Third Quarter Corporate and Other Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, administrative expenses totaled $27.8 million as compared to $23.4 million in the same period in 2022. The increase is primarily due to technology costs, including costs associated with cyber security, as well as costs previously shown as operating expenses now shown within administrative expenses as the Company increased usage of its shared services model in an effort to drive future operational efficiencies.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, interest expense totaled $94.2 million as compared to $75.0 million in the same period in 2022. The increase was approximately one-third due to the funding of capital deployed in the second half of 2022 and first half of 2023 and two-thirds due to the increase in interest rates on variable rate borrowings.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, depreciation expense totaled $104.8 million as compared to $108.2 million in the same period in 2022.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, change in investments carried at fair value totaled a loss of $220.8 million as compared to a loss of $300.4 million in the same period in 2022. 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 consolidated financial statements).

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, pension and post-employment non-service costs totaled $4.9 million as compared to $1.5 million in the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher interest costs and lower expected return on plan assets.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, other net losses were $75.2 million as compared to $5.9 million in the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to the Securitization Write-Off of $63.5 million. See Note 16 in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the gain on derivative financial instruments totaled $0.7 million as compared to a gain of $0.5 million in the same period in 2022. AQN uses derivative instruments to manage exposure to changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, and interest rates. Both the gains and losses in the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively, were primarily related to mark-to-markets on interest rate derivatives.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, an income tax recovery of $53.8 million was recorded as compared to an income tax recovery of $19.5 million during the same period in 2022. The increase in income tax recovery was primarily due to the tax benefit associated with lower earnings, including other net losses and accrued tax credits, partially offset by the tax impact associated with the change in fair value of the investment in Atlantica. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company accrued $15.0 million of ITCs and PTCs primarily associated with renewable energy projects that have either been placed in service or are expected to be placed in service by the end of 2023 as compared to an $8.3 million reversal recorded in the same period in 2022. 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 consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

2023 Year-to-Date Corporate and Other Expenses

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, administrative expenses totaled $71.4 million as compared to $61.0 million in the same period in 2022. The increase is primarily due to technology costs, including costs associated with cyber security, as well as costs previously shown as operating expenses now shown within administrative expenses as the Company increased usage of its shared services model in an effort to drive future operational efficiencies.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, interest expense totaled $265.8 million as compared to $197.6 million in the same period in 2022. The increase was approximately one-third due to the funding of capital deployed in the second half of 2022 and first half of 2023 and two-thirds due to the increase in interest rates on variable rate borrowings.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, depreciation expense totaled $344.9 million as compared to $340.7 million in the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher overall property, plant and equipment.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, change in investments carried at fair value totaled a loss of $352.8 million as compared to a loss of $484.4 million in the same period in 2022. 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 consolidated financial statements).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, pension and post-employment non-service costs totaled $15.2 million as compared to $6.4 million in the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher interest cost and lower expected return on plan assets.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, other net losses were $119.0 million as compared to $19.3 million in the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to the $46.5 million Kentucky Power Impairment and the Securitization Write-Off of $63.5 million partially offset by an $12.0 million contingent gain resulting from settlement of the purchase price of the Suralis Water System acquired in 2020. See Note 16 in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the gain on derivative financial instruments totaled $3.9 million as compared to a loss of $2.0 million in the same period in 2022. AQN uses derivative instruments to manage exposure to changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, and interest rates. Both the gains and losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, were primarily related to mark-to-markets on interest rate derivatives.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an income tax recovery of $85.1 million was recorded as compared to an income tax recovery of $32.9 million during the same period in 2022. The increase in income tax recovery was primarily due to the tax benefit associated with lower earnings, including other net losses and accrued tax credits, partially offset by the tax impact associated with the change in fair value of the investment in Atlantica. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company accrued $35.5 million of ITCs and PTCs primarily associated with renewable energy projects that have either been placed in service or are expected to be placed in service by the end of 2023 as compared to $13.7 million recorded in the same period in 2022. 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.

On January 18, 2022, the Company closed (i) an underwritten public offering in the United States of $750 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% fixed-to-fixed reset rate junior subordinated notes series 2022-B due January 18, 2082 (the "U.S. Notes"); and (ii) an underwritten public offering in Canada of C$400 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% fixed-to-fixed reset rate junior subordinated notes series 2022-A due January 18, 2082 (the "Canadian Notes" and, together with the U.S. Notes, the "Notes").

Expected Use of Net Proceeds Actual Use of Net Proceeds
As disclosed in the Company’s prospectus supplements dated January 12, 2022 relating to the offerings of the Notes, the Company previously expected that the net proceeds of the offerings of the Notes would be used to partially finance the proposed acquisition of Kentucky Power Company and AEP Kentucky Transmission Company, Inc.

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis 40

In April 2023, following the announcement of the Kentucky Power Transaction Termination, each of DBRS, Fitch, S&P and Moody’s made announcements regarding the credit ratings of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. DBRS and Fitch both affirmed their ratings and stable outlook on the Corporation and its subsidiaries, S&P affirmed its ratings and revised its outlooks to stable from negative on the Corporation and its subsidiaries and Moody’s affirmed its ratings and stable outlooks on Liberty Utilities and Liberty GP.

In May 2023, following the announcement of the strategic review of the Renewable Energy Group, S&P placed APCo on credit watch with negative implications. APCo is the parent company for the U.S. and Canadian generating assets under the Renewable Energy Group. In August 2023, following the conclusion of the strategic review and the Company’s announcement that it will pursue the sale of its renewable energy business, S&P and Fitch made announcements regarding the credit ratings of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. S&P affirmed its ratings on AQN and its regulated utility subsidiaries and revised the outlook on APCo from credit watch with negative implications to developing. Fitch affirmed the ratings of AQN and placed APCo on rating watch evolving. Both S&P and Fitch expect to resolve their respective rating watch on APCo once more details are known on the transaction.

As at September 30, 2023, a total of 778,400 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company settled 52,379 bonus RSUs, of which 23,678 were exchanged for common shares issued from treasury and 28,701 RSUs were settled at their cash value as payment for tax withholdings related to the settlement of the RSUs. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 74,634 bonus deferral RSUs were granted (including RSUs in lieu of dividends) to employees of the Company pursuant to the bonus deferral RSU program. The 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 518,725 common shares to employees under the ESPP.

As at September 30, 2023, a total of 2,876,675 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 2023 and 2022 (see Note 13 in the unaudited interim 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 $11.1 million and $53.1 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $11.0 million and $44.9 million, respectively, during the same periods in 2022. Additionally, one of the equity-method investees (Liberty Development JV Inc., the Company’s joint venture with funds managed by the Infrastructure and Power strategy of Ares Management, LLC for its non-regulated development platform) provides development services to the Company on specified projects, for which it earns a development fee upon reaching certain milestones. However, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the nine months ended September 30, 2022, no such development fees were charged to the Company. See Note 13 in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

On July 5, 2023, the Company provided a $35 million non-interest-bearing loan to Liberty Development JV Inc. The joint venture used these funds to return equity to its shareholders through which the Company received $17.5 million.

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 acquired by Liberty Development Energy Solutions B.V., a subsidiary of Liberty Development JV Inc. (see Note 13 in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements). Redemption is not considered probable as at September 30, 2023. The preference share was used to finance a portion of the Company's investment in Atlantica. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred non-controlling interest attributable to Liberty Development Energy Solutions B.V. of $6.8 million and $19.2 million, respectively, as compared to $4.5 million and $10.1 million, respectively, during the same period in 2022, and recorded distributions of $6.4 million and $18.7 million,

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 44

respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $3.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, during the same period in 2022 (see Note 13 in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements).

Liberty Development Energy Solutions B.V. has a secured credit facility in the amount of $306.5 million maturing on January 26, 2024. It is collateralized through a pledge of Atlantica ordinary shares. 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 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.

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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded distributions of $0.5 million and $11.5 million, respectively, as compared to $3.1 million and $16.1 million, respectively, during the same period in 2022.

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. A risk is the possibility that an event might happen in the future that could have a negative effect on the financial condition, financial performance or business of the Corporation. The actual effect of any event on the Corporation’s business could be materially different from what is anticipated or described below. The description of risks below does not include all possible risks.

Led by the Chief Compliance and Risk Officer, the Corporation has an established enterprise risk management ("ERM") framework. The Corporation’s ERM framework follows the guidance of ISO 31000 and the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") Enterprise Risk Management - Integrated Framework (2013). The Corporation’s ERM Policy details the Corporation’s risk management processes and risk governance structure.

As part of the risk management process, risk registers have been developed across the organization through ongoing risk identification and risk assessment exercises facilitated by the Corporation’s internal ERM team. Key risks and associated mitigation strategies are reviewed by the executive-level Enterprise Risk Management Council and are presented to the Risk Committee of the Board periodically.

Identified risks are evaluated using a standardized risk scoring matrix to assess impact and likelihood. However, there can be no assurance that the Corporation's risk management activities will be successful in identifying, assessing, or mitigating the risks to which the Corporation is subject.

The risks discussed below are not intended as a complete list of all risks that AQN, its subsidiaries and affiliates are encountering or may encounter. Please see the Company's most recent AIF and Annual MD&A available on SEDAR+ and EDGAR for a further discussion of risk factors to which the Company is subject. To the extent of any inconsistency, the risks discussed below are intended to provide an update on those that were previously disclosed.

Treasury Risk Management

Capital Markets and Liquidity Risk

As at September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $8,367.3 million of long-term consolidated indebtedness. Management of the Company believes, based on its current expectations as to the Company's future performance, that the cash flow from operations, the funds available under its credit facilities and from future asset recycling initiatives, 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

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis 45

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; require the Company to dedicate a portion of cash flows from operations to the payment of interest on its existing indebtedness, in which case such cash flows would not be available for other purposes; cause rating agencies to re-evaluate or downgrade the Company’s existing credit ratings; require the Company to post additional collateral security under some of its contracts and hedging arrangements; expose the Company to increased interest expense on borrowings at variable rates; limit the Company’s ability to adjust to changing market conditions; place the Company at a competitive disadvantage compared to its competitors; make the Company vulnerable to any downturn in general economic conditions; render the Company unable to make expenditures that are important to its future growth strategies and require the Company to pursue alternative funding strategies, which may include accelerated asset recycling initiatives.

The Company will need to refinance or reimburse amounts outstanding under the Company’s existing consolidated indebtedness over time. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in refinancing its indebtedness when necessary or that additional financing will be obtained when needed, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. In the event that the Company cannot refinance its indebtedness or raise additional indebtedness on terms that are not less favourable than the current terms, the Company's cash flows, 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 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 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, and adversely affect its results of operations, cash flows, key credit metrics, borrowing capacity and ability to implement its business strategy.

As at September 30, 2023, approximately 85% 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. On December 17, 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement in the amount of $390 million for the period between January 15, 2023 and January 15, 2024. On September 29, 2023, the Company extended its interest rate cap agreement to June 17, 2024.

Based on amounts outstanding as at September 30, 2023, 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 $622.0 million outstanding as at September 30, 2023. The Corporate Credit Facility has locked in $197.5 million of the variable rate until March 29, 2024 through an interest election request. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $4.2 million annually;

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis 46

•the Long Term Regulated Services Credit Facility is subject to a variable interest rate and had $316.0 million outstanding as at September 30, 2023. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $3.2 million annually;

•the Short Term Regulated Services Credit Facility is subject to a variable interest rate and had no amounts outstanding as at September 30, 2023. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would not impact interest expense;

•the Regulated Services Delayed Draw Term Facility is subject to a variable interest rate and had $610.4 million outstanding as at September 30, 2023. 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 $75.0 million outstanding as at September 30, 2023. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $0.8 million annually;

•the Bermuda Working Capital Facility is subject to a variable interest rate and had $20.5 million outstanding as at September 30, 2023. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $0.2 million annually;

•the Regulated Services Group's commercial paper program is subject to a variable interest rate and had $368.2 million outstanding as at September 30, 2023. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $3.7 million annually;

•the Renewable Energy Credit Facility is subject to a variable interest rate and had $301.0 million outstanding as at September 30, 2023. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $3.0 million annually; and

•term facilities at Suralis that are subject to variable interest rates had $106.6 million outstanding as at September 30, 2023. As a result, a 100 basis point change in the variable rate charged would impact interest expense by $1.1 million annually.

Term facilities at BELCO are not subject to variable interest rates as the Company entered into the above noted interest swap agreements to hedge the risk associated with interest rate fluctuation. In addition, on January 13, 2022, the Company entered into a forward starting swap to fix the interest rate for the second five-year term of the U.S. Notes.

Tax Risk and Uncertainty

The Corporation is subject to income and other taxes primarily in the United States and Canada; however, it is also subject to income and other taxes in international jurisdictions, such as Chile and Bermuda. Changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof in the jurisdictions in which the Corporation does business could adversely affect the Company's results from operations, returns to shareholders, and cash flows. One or more taxing jurisdictions could seek to impose incremental or new taxes on the Company pursuant to one of the following or otherwise:

•The Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law in the United States on August 16, 2022. The legislation is inclusive of an extension and expansion of clean energy tax credits and a minimum tax. The minimum tax is not expected to be applicable to the Company in the near term; however, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will not apply in the longer term.

•On April 19, 2021, the Canadian federal government delivered its 2021 budget which contained proposed measures related to limitations on interest deductibility and changes in relation to international taxation. Draft legislative proposals pertaining to interest deductibility were initially released for public comment on February 4, 2022, with revised legislative proposals subsequently released on November 3, 2022 and August 4, 2023. The proposed rules on interest deductibility are expected to be effective no earlier than January 1, 2024. On August 4, 2023, the Department of Finance released draft legislative proposals relating to the Global Minimum Tax Act that aims to align with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (“OECD”) various initiatives on “Base Erosion and Profit Shifting”. The proposed rules and their application are complex and could have a material adverse impact on the Corporation's effective tax rate and financial results in future years if enacted as drafted.

•As a consequence of the OECD's various initiatives on “Base Erosion and Profit Shifting”, there has been increased focus by taxing authorities across the globe to pursue common international principles for the entitlement to taxation of global corporate profits and eliminate perceived tax advantages enjoyed by multinational enterprises. Certain components of the relevant legislation in the jurisdictions in which the Corporation operates or

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis 47

has domiciled subsidiaries are expected to apply as of January 1, 2024. As the local legislation in the various jurisdictions is enacted and comes into effect, there is a risk that the Company's tax expense and/or cash taxes could materially increase or that the Company's interpretation of the new legislation may not align with that of the relevant tax authority’s interpretation. This could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in future periods.

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 may be insufficient to support continued development or may result in substantially reduced financial benefits from facilities that are completed. In addition, the Corporation has entered into certain tax equity financing transactions with financial partners for certain of its renewable power facilities in the United States, under which allocations of future cash flows to the Corporation from the applicable facility could be adversely affected in the event that there are changes in U.S. tax laws that apply to facilities previously placed in service.

OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Risks Relating to the Planned Sale of the Company's Renewable Energy Business

As announced on August 10, 2023, the Company is pursuing 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 results and benefits. Divesting any or all of these assets involves a number of risks and uncertainties, including complexities involved in separating the assets being sold from the 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 its 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 retain exposure related to divested assets on financial or performance guarantees and other contractual, employment, pension and severance obligations, and potential liabilities that may arise under law because of the disposition or the subsequent breaches of obligations or duties by the buyer. Unanticipated developments 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 its 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, the pursuit of a sale of the renewable energy business could result in one or more credit rating downgrades of APCo. Following a sale of any or all of the assets comprising its 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

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis 48

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. To mitigate the risk of inflation the Company attempts to enter into fixed price construction agreements and fixed price offtake agreements.

Tariff Risk

Changes in tariffs or duties, such as antidumping and countervailing duty rates related to the U.S. Department of Commerce's investigation into an antidumping and countervailing duties circumvention claim on solar cells and panels supplied from Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia, may adversely affect the capital expenditures required to develop or construct the Corporation’s projects, as well as the timing for completion, or viability, of such projects. In the U.S., tariffs have been imposed in recent years on imports of solar panels, aluminum and steel, among other goods and raw materials. These occurrences may have adverse impacts to the Corporation, as the buyer of goods, which could adversely affect the Corporation’s expected returns, results of operations and cash flows.

Litigation Risks and Other Contingencies

AQN and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in various litigation, claims and other legal and regulatory proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Any accruals for contingencies related to these items are recorded in the financial statements at the time it is concluded that a material financial loss is likely and the related liability is estimable. Anticipated recoveries under existing insurance policies are recorded when reasonably assured of recovery.

Mountain View Fire

On November 17, 2020, a wildfire now known as the Mountain View Fire occurred in the territory of Liberty Utilities (CalPeco Electric) LLC ("Liberty CalPeco"). The cause of the fire remains under investigation, and CAL FIRE has not yet released its final report. There are currently 18 active lawsuits that name certain subsidiaries of the Company as defendants in connection with the Mountain View Fire, as well as one non-litigation claim brought by the U.S. Department of Agriculture seeking reimbursement for alleged fire suppression costs. Twelve 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 12 lawsuits also alleges the wrongful death of an individual and various subrogation claims on behalf of insurance companies). 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 five 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 cannot be reasonably predicted. Liberty CalPeco intends to vigorously defend them. The Company has wildfire liability insurance that is expected to apply up to applicable policy limits.

Apple Valley Condemnation Proceedings

On January 7, 2016, the Town of Apple Valley filed a lawsuit seeking to condemn the utility assets of Liberty Utilities (Apple Valley Ranchos Water) Corp. (“Liberty Apple Valley”). On May 7, 2021, the Court issued a Tentative Statement of Decision denying the Town of Apple Valley’s attempt to take the Apple Valley water system by eminent domain. The ruling confirmed that Liberty Apple Valley’s continued ownership and operation of the water system is in the best interest of the community. On October 14, 2021, the Court issued the Final Statement of Decision. The Court signed and entered an Order of Dismissal and Judgment on November 12, 2021. On January 7, 2022, the Town filed a notice of appeal of the judgment entered by the Court. On August 2, 2022, the Court issued a ruling awarding Liberty Apple Valley approximately $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.

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. - Management Discussion & Analysis 49

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 is expected to occur in a phased approach across the enterprise through 2024. The implementation 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 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.

The quarterly results are impacted by various factors including seasonal fluctuations and acquisitions of facilities as noted in this MD&A.

Quarterly revenues have fluctuated between $592.0 million and $778.6 million over the prior two year period. A number of factors impact quarterly results including acquisitions, seasonal fluctuations, and winter and summer rates built into the PPAs. 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 significantly 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.

AQN's management carried out an evaluation as of September 30, 2023, under the supervision of and with the participation of AQN’s Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of AQN’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15 (e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that as of September 30, 2023, AQN’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by AQN in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Management, including the CEO and the CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting. Management, as at the end of the period covered by this interim filing, designed internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The control framework management used to design the Company's internal control over financial reporting is that established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 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 consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of the unaudited interim 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 depreciable 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 consolidated financial statements.

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. Announces 2023 Third Quarter Financial Results

OAKVILLE, Ontario - November 10, 2023 - Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (TSX/NYSE: AQN) (“AQN” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. All amounts are shown in United States dollars (“U.S. $” or “$”), unless otherwise noted.

“We have launched the sale process for our portfolio of high-quality renewable assets and extensive development pipeline, and we remain focused on appropriate valuation,” said Chris Huskilson, Interim Chief Executive Officer of AQN. "Having now served as Interim CEO for three months and met with various stakeholders, I believe the Company's two businesses have untapped potential and bright futures ahead. With regards to the quarter, we continued to see constructive growth from rate cases and new development projects year over year. However, we also saw those efforts partially offset by unfavourable weather and higher interest rates. On balance, our Adjusted Net Earnings1 grew at a healthy pace for the quarter."

Third Quarter Financial Results

•Adjusted EBITDA1 of $281.3 million, an increase of 2%;

•Adjusted Net Earnings1 of $79.3 million, an increase of 8%; and

•Adjusted Net Earnings1 per common share of $0.11, no change, in each case on a year-over-year basis.

Quarterly Results

•Regulated Growth from New Rate Implementations – In the third quarter of 2023, the Regulated Services Group recorded a year-over-year revenue increase of $12.1 million due to the implementation of new rates and recovery of investments at the Company's CalPeco, Empire, Granite State and Bermuda Electric Systems as well as the Park Water System. New rates were offset by unfavourable weather affecting wind production at Empire Electric’s renewable assets.

•Renewable Operating Performance Reduced by Unfavourable Weather – The Renewable Energy Group previously added the Deerfield II Wind Facility, which achieved COD in March 2023. This growth was offset by more challenging weather conditions at its wind and solar assets.

•New facilities commissioned within the Renewable Energy Group – On September 16, 2023, the Renewable Energy Group achieved full commercial operations at the 87.6 MW Sandy Ridge II Wind Facility, located in Pennsylvania. The Sandy Ridge II Wind Facility has agreed to sell its output to a leading technology company, pursuant to a renewable energy purchase agreement. In addition, on October 10, 2023, the Renewable Energy Group achieved full commercial operations at the 108.3 MW Shady Oaks II Wind Facility, located in Illinois. The Shady Oaks II Wind Facility has agreed to sell output to a leading financial institution, pursuant to a renewable energy purchase agreement.

•Higher Interest Expenses Reflect Growth Financing and Macro Environment – In the third quarter of 2023, interest expense increased by $19.2 million year-over-year, with approximately one-third of this increase due to the funding of capital deployed in the second half of 2022 and first half of 2023, and approximately two-thirds attributable to the increase in interest rates on variable rate borrowings.

•Empire Electric Securitization – In July 2023, oral arguments were heard in Empire Electric’s appeal of the regulatory decision regarding Empire Electric’s securitization of costs incurred in connection with the February 2021 extreme winter storm and the retirement of the Asbury coal plant. On August 1, 2023, the court affirmed the amount eligible for securitization of $290.4 million as compared to the Company’s original aggregate request of approximately $363.0 million. The Company intends to securitize in line with the commission’s order to recover these costs. The order excludes a portion of carrying costs and taxes which leads to a net after tax loss of $48.5 million.

AQN’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and management discussion and analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 (the “Interim MD&A”) will be available on its web site 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”, “expects”, “intends” (and grammatical variations of such terms) and similar expressions are often intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Specific forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the Company’s pursuit of a sale of its renewable energy business; and expectations regarding the securitization of expenses at Empire Electric. 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 or other separation transaction 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 Management Discussion & Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual MD&A”), and in the 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”) and “Adjusted Funds from Operations”, 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 entitled "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.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Earnings

The following table is derived from and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated statement of operations. This supplementary disclosure is intended to more fully explain disclosures related to Adjusted EBITDA and provides additional information related to the operating performance of AQN. Investors are cautioned that this measure should not be construed as an alternative to U.S. GAAP consolidated net earnings.

1.US$0.1085 per common share, payable on January 15, 2024, to the shareholders of record on December 29, 2023, for the period from October 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. Registered shareholders can elect to receive the dividend in Canadian dollars in the amount of C$0.1497.

2.C$0.32263 per preferred share, Series A, payable in cash on January 2, 2024 to preferred share, Series A holders of record on December 15, 2023, for the period from September 30, 2023 to, but excluding, December 31, 2023.

Each of the foregoing dividends will be paid in cash. Effective March 16, 2023, AQN suspended the dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) for its common shares. If AQN elects to reinstate the DRIP in the future, shareholders who were enrolled in the DRIP at its suspension and remain enrolled at reinstatement will automatically resume participation in the DRIP.

The quarterly dividends payable on common shares are declared in U.S. dollars. Beneficial shareholders (those who hold common shares through a financial intermediary) who are resident in Canada or the United States may request to receive their dividends in either U.S. dollars or the Canadian dollar equivalent by contacting the financial intermediary with whom the common shares are held. Unless the Canadian dollar equivalent is requested, holders of common shares will receive dividends in U.S. dollars, which, as is often the case, the financial intermediary may convert to Canadian dollars. Registered holders of common shares receive dividend payments in the currency of residency. Registered holders of common shares may opt to change the payment currency by contacting TSX Trust Company at 1-800-387-0825 prior to the record date of the dividend.

The Canadian dollar equivalent of the quarterly common share dividend is based on the Bank of Canada daily average exchange rate on the day before the declaration date.

Pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) and corresponding provincial legislation, AQN hereby notifies holders of common shares, preferred shares, Series A, and preferred shares, Series D that such dividends declared qualify as eligible dividends.
