FORTIS INC. RELEASES SECOND QUARTER 2023 RESULTS

AND SUSTAINABILITY UPDATE REPORT

Fortis Inc. ("Fortis" or the "Corporation") (TSX/NYSE: FTS), a well-diversified leader in the North American regulated electric and gas utility industry, released its second quarter results1 and 2023 Sustainability Update Report.

Highlights

•Second quarter net earnings of $294 million or $0.61 per common share, up from $284 million or $0.59 per common share in 2022

•Adjusted net earnings per common share2 of $0.62, up from $0.57 in the second quarter of 2022

•Capital expenditures2 of $2.0 billion in the first half of 2023; $4.3 billion annual capital plan on track

•2023 Sustainability Update Report released highlighting the Corporation's progress on key sustainability initiatives

•Tucson Electric Power's rate application continues to progress with a decision anticipated in Q3

"We are pleased to report our second quarter results which reflect the growth of our utilities as they continue to execute the 2023 capital plan," said David Hutchens, President and Chief Executive Officer, Fortis. "Our strong financial results demonstrate the success of our regulated growth strategy, and the sale of Aitken Creek, expected to close later this year, reflects our focus on that strategy."

"From an operational perspective, our systems performed well during the quarter, even when faced with extreme weather events in Western Canada," said Mr. Hutchens. "Our 2023 Sustainability Report, released today, highlights progress on our climate, diversity and other ESG priorities. The foundation of our sustainability strategy is to deliver cleaner energy to our customers by making investments in a safe, reliable energy grid without compromising on affordability."

Net Earnings

The Corporation reported net earnings attributable to common equity shareholders ("Net Earnings") of $294 million for the second quarter, or $0.61 per common share, compared to $284 million, or $0.59 per common share for the second quarter of 2022. The increase primarily reflected rate base growth, largely at ITC and the western Canadian utilities. Also contributing to earnings growth was the timing of operating expenses at Central Hudson and FortisAlberta, an increase in the market value of certain investments that support retirement benefits, and a higher U.S.-to-Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate. Growth was tempered by lower earnings in Arizona, mainly driven by a decrease in retail electricity sales due to milder weather and the timing of wholesale sales. Lower earnings from Aitken Creek due to the mark-to-market accounting of natural gas derivatives, as well as higher corporate finance costs, also impacted earnings as compared to the second quarter of 2022. In addition, earnings per share for the quarter reflected an increase in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, largely associated with the Corporation's dividend reinvestment plan.

On a year-to-date basis, Net Earnings were $731 million, or $1.51 per common share, an increase of $97 million, or $0.18 per common share compared to the same six-month period in 2022. The increase in earnings and earnings per common share reflected the same factors discussed for the quarter, except that UNS Energy and Aitken Creek contributed to earnings growth for the six-month period. Year-to-date results in Arizona reflected favourable margins on long-term wholesale sales and higher transmission revenue, and results for Aitken Creek reflected higher volumes and margins on gas sold.

Adjusted Net Earnings2

Adjusted net earnings attributable to common equity shareholders ("Adjusted Net Earnings") excludes the impact of mark-to-market accounting of natural gas derivatives at Aitken Creek. Adjusted Net Earnings of $302 million for the second quarter, or $0.62 per common share, were $30 million, or $0.05 per common share higher than the same period in 2022. On a year-to-date basis, Adjusted Net Earnings were $741 million, or $1.53 per common share, an increase of $100 million, or $0.19 per common share compared to the same six-month period in 2022. The increase for the quarter and year-to-date periods reflected the same factors discussed for Net Earnings, except that there was an increase in adjusted earnings at Aitken Creek for both the quarter and year-to-date periods due to higher margins on gas sold.

Capital Expenditures

Our $4.3 billion annual capital plan is on track with $2.0 billion invested during the first half of 2023.

The Corporation's major capital projects continue to progress. In May 2023, FortisBC Energy received approval from the British Columbia Utilities Commission ("BCUC") for its Advanced Metering Infrastructure project. The project includes replacement of residential and small commercial meters with advanced meters to support the safety, resiliency, and efficient operation of the gas distribution system. The project is expected to commence in the second half of 2023.

FortisBC Energy also received approval from the BCUC in May 2023 for amended transportation rate schedules for the Eagle Mountain Woodfibre Gas Line project. This approval brings the project one-step closer to commencement of construction. FortisBC Energy continues to receive deposit funding from Woodfibre LNG Limited for development expenditures to be incurred for the project.

The Corporation's potential growth opportunities outside of the capital plan includes Central Hudson's minority equity interest in New York Transco LLC ("Transco"), a joint venture with affiliates of other investor-owned utilities in New York State, which was created to develop, own, and operate electric transmission projects in the state. In June 2023, the New York Independent System Operator selected a proposal by Transco, in partnership with the New York Power Authority, to construct transmission infrastructure to deliver at least 3,000 MW from Long Island offshore wind facilities to the rest of the state by 2030. Transco's portion of the project is estimated to cost approximately US$2.2 billion, of which Central Hudson will contribute approximately 10%.

Sustainability

The Corporation released its 2023 Sustainability Update Report today, which summarizes recent progress and includes key performance indicators for 2022. Fortis utilities continue to add new renewable energy resources and decarbonize operations while advancing a cleaner energy transition for customers. The Corporation has reduced direct greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions by 29% through 2022 compared to 2019 levels, marking significant progress towards our interim targets to reduce GHG emissions 50% by 2030 and 75% by 2035, as well as our 2050 net-zero direct GHG emissions target. In addition, over the last four years, the GHG intensity of delivered energy has consistently decreased, while net electricity generated by renewable sources and avoided emissions from the use of renewable natural gas has increased significantly.

The report highlights Fortis' advancements in diversity, equity and inclusion ("DEI"). The Corporation has achieved its Board of Director diversity targets, with 58% of the board comprised of women and two of twelve members identifying as visible minorities. Our commitment to advancing DEI is reflected in our leadership at Fortis Inc., where 50% of our executive team are women. In addition, to further support Fortis' sustainability reporting, limited third-party assurance was obtained on select 2022 GHG emissions data and board diversity metrics.

As we transition to a cleaner energy future, customer affordability, safety and reliability remain top priorities and are the cornerstones of our sustainability strategy. Fortis utilities continue to focus on controlling costs, identifying efficiencies and implementing innovative practices to maintain affordability.

The 2023 Sustainability Update Report can be accessed at www.fortisinc.com/sustainability/sustainability-reporting.

Regulatory Updates

In May 2023, the Arizona Corporation Commission ("ACC") approved rate adjustments at Tucson Electric Power ("TEP") and UNS Electric, Inc. to collect the purchase power fuel adjustor clause balances over 12- and 33-month periods, respectively.

In July 2023, the administrative law judge issued a recommended opinion and order on TEP's general rate application, recommending an increase in non-fuel revenue of US$102 million, a 9.4% ROE with a 0.2% return on the fair value increment, and a 54.32% common equity component of capital structure. A decision from the ACC is expected in the third quarter of 2023.

Central Hudson filed a rate application with the New York State Public Service Commission in July 2023, requesting an increase in electric and gas delivery rates effective July 1, 2024. The application requests an allowed ROE of 9.8% and a 50% common equity component of capital structure. The timing and outcome of this proceeding is unknown.

Outlook

Fortis continues to enhance shareholder value through the execution of its capital plan, the balance and strength of its diversified portfolio of regulated utility businesses, and growth opportunities within and proximate to its service territories. While energy price volatility, global supply chain constraints, increasing interest rates and inflation represent potential concerns, the Corporation does not expect these factors to have a material impact on its operations or financial results in 2023.

Fortis is executing on the transition to a cleaner energy future and is on track to achieve its corporate-wide targets to reduce GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 and 75% by 2035. The Corporation's additional 2050 net-zero direct GHG emissions target reinforces Fortis' commitment to further decarbonize over the long-term, while preserving customer reliability and affordability.

The Corporation's $22.3 billion five-year capital plan is expected to increase midyear rate base from $34.1 billion in 2022 to $46.1 billion by 2027, translating into a five-year compound annual growth rate of 6.2%5.

Beyond the five-year capital plan, additional opportunities to expand and extend growth include: further expansion of the electric transmission grid in the U.S. to facilitate the interconnection of cleaner energy, including infrastructure investments associated with the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc. long-range transmission plan; climate adaptation and grid resiliency investments; renewable gas solutions and liquefied natural gas infrastructure in British Columbia; and the acceleration of cleaner energy infrastructure investments across our jurisdictions.

Fortis expects its long-term growth in rate base will drive earnings that support dividend growth guidance of 4-6% annually through 2027, and is premised on the assumptions and material factors listed under "Forward-Looking Information".

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Nature of Operations

Fortis Inc. ("Fortis" or the "Corporation") is a well-diversified North American regulated electric and gas utility holding company.

Earnings for interim periods may not be indicative of annual results due to: (i) the impact of seasonal weather conditions on customer demand and market pricing; (ii) the impact of market conditions, particularly with respect to long-term wholesale sales and transmission revenue at UNS Energy, as well as margins realized on gas sold at Aitken Creek; (iii) changes in foreign exchange rates; and (iv) the timing and significance of regulatory decisions. Earnings of the gas utilities tend to be highest in the first and fourth quarters due to space-heating requirements. Earnings of the electric distribution utilities in the U.S. tend to be highest in the second and third quarters due to the use of air conditioning and other cooling equipment.

Entities within the reporting segments that follow operate with substantial autonomy.

Regulated Utilities

ITC: ITC Investment Holdings Inc., ITC Holdings Corp. and the electric transmission operations of its regulated operating subsidiaries, which include International Transmission Company, Michigan Electric Transmission Company, LLC, ITC Midwest LLC ("ITC Midwest") and ITC Great Plains, LLC. Fortis owns 80.1% of ITC and an affiliate of GIC Private Limited owns a 19.9% minority interest.

UNS Energy: UNS Energy Corporation, which primarily includes Tucson Electric Power Company ("TEP"), UNS Electric, Inc. ("UNSE") and UNS Gas, Inc.

Central Hudson: CH Energy Group, Inc., which primarily includes Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation.

FortisBC Energy: FortisBC Energy Inc.

FortisAlberta: FortisAlberta Inc.

FortisBC Electric: FortisBC Inc.

Other Electric: Eastern Canadian and Caribbean utilities, as follows: Newfoundland Power Inc.; Maritime Electric Company, Limited; FortisOntario Inc.; a 39% equity investment in Wataynikaneyap Power Limited Partnership; an approximate 60% controlling interest in Caribbean Utilities Company, Ltd. ("Caribbean Utilities"); FortisTCI Limited and Turks and Caicos Utilities Limited (collectively "FortisTCI"); and a 33% equity investment in Belize Electricity Limited ("Belize Electricity").

Non-Regulated

Energy Infrastructure: Long-term contracted generation assets in Belize and the Aitken Creek natural gas storage facility ("Aitken Creek") in British Columbia (Note 7).

Corporate and Other: Captures expenses and revenues not specifically related to any reportable segment and those business operations that are below the required threshold for segmented reporting, including net corporate expenses of Fortis and non-regulated holding company expenses.

2. REGULATORY MATTERS

Regulation of the Corporation's utilities is generally consistent with that disclosed in Note 2 of the Corporation's annual audited consolidated financial statements ("2022 Annual Financial Statements"). A summary of significant outstanding regulatory matters follows.

ITC

ITC Midwest Capital Structure Complaint: In 2022, FERC issued an order denying the complaint filed by the Iowa Coalition for Affordable Transmission ("ICAT") requesting that ITC Midwest's common equity component of capital structure be reduced from 60% to 53%. In March 2023, FERC confirmed its decision following ICAT's request for rehearing.

MISO Base ROE: In 2022, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a decision vacating certain FERC orders that had established the methodology for setting the base return on equity ("ROE") for transmission owners operating in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc. ("MISO") region, including ITC. This matter dates back to complaints filed at FERC in 2013 and 2015 challenging the MISO base ROE then in effect. The court has remanded the matter to FERC for further process, the timing and outcome of which is unknown.

Transmission Incentives: In 2021, FERC issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking ("NOPR") on transmission incentives modifying the proposal in the initial NOPR released by FERC in 2020. The supplemental NOPR proposes to eliminate the 50-basis point regional transmission organization ("RTO") ROE incentive adder for RTO members that have been members for longer than three years. The timing and outcome of this proceeding is unknown.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

2. REGULATORY MATTERS (cont'd)

Transmission Right of First Refusal ("ROFR"): The State of Iowa has granted incumbent electric transmission owners, including ITC, a ROFR to construct, own and maintain certain electric transmission assets in the state. A challenge against the ROFR statute by certain plaintiffs was initially dismissed by the District Court on the grounds that the plaintiffs lacked standing. In March 2023, the Iowa Supreme Court determined that the plaintiffs have standing to challenge the Iowa ROFR statute, issued a temporary injunction staying enforcement of the ROFR statute, and remanded the matter to the District Court to decide the merits of the claim. Management does not believe that this proceeding will impact projects that have already been approved and under development; however, the timing of this proceeding and any impact on future projects, is unknown.

UNS Energy

TEP General Rate Application: In July 2023, the Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") issued a recommended opinion and order on TEP's general rate application recommending, among other things, an increase in non-fuel revenue of US$102 million, a 9.4% ROE with a 0.2% return on the fair value increment, and a 54.32% common equity component of capital structure. TEP's existing ROE and common equity component of capital structure is 9.15% and 53%, respectively. While the timing and outcome of this proceeding is unknown, the ALJ recommended that the new rates become effective on or after September 1, 2023.

PPFAC Mechanism: The Purchased Power and Fuel Adjustment Clause ("PPFAC") mechanism allows for the timely recovery or return of purchased power and fuel costs, as compared to that collected in customer rates, at TEP and UNSE. The PPFAC balance has increased in recent years, reflecting higher commodity costs. In May 2023, the ACC approved rate adjustments at TEP and UNSE to collect the PPFAC balances over 12- and 33-month periods, respectively.

Central Hudson

General Rate Application: In July 2023, Central Hudson filed a rate application with the New York Public Service Commission ("PSC") requesting an increase in electric and gas delivery rates effective July 1, 2024. The application includes a request to set Central Hudson's allowed ROE at 9.8% and a 50% common equity component of capital structure. The timing and outcome of this proceeding is unknown.

Customer Information System ("CIS") Implementation: In January 2023, Central Hudson filed a response to the PSC's Order to Commence Proceeding and Show Cause, which had directed Central Hudson to explain why the PSC should not pursue civil or administrative penalties or initiate a proceeding to review the prudence of implementation costs associated with its new CIS. In July 2023, an interim agreement was reached with the PSC, in which Central Hudson agreed to independent third-party verification of recent system improvements related to its billing system, and to accelerate the implementation of its monthly meter reading plan. The timing and outcome of this proceeding remains unknown.

FortisBC Energy and FortisBC Electric

Generic Cost of Capital ("GCOC") Proceeding: In 2021, the British Columbia Utilities Commission ("BCUC") initiated a proceeding including a review of the common equity component of capital structure and the allowed ROE. FortisBC filed a final argument with the BCUC in December 2022 and the proceeding remains ongoing, with a decision expected in the third quarter 2023. The decision could be effective retroactively to January 1, 2023.

FortisAlberta

2024 GCOC Proceeding: In 2022, the Alberta Utilities Commission ("AUC") initiated proceedings to establish the cost of capital parameters for Alberta regulated utilities, including consideration of a formula-based approach to setting the allowed ROE for 2024 and beyond. The proceeding remains ongoing, and a decision from the AUC is expected in the second half of 2023.

Third PBR Term: In 2021, the AUC issued a decision confirming that Alberta distribution utilities will be subject to a third performance-based rate setting ("PBR") term commencing in 2024. The AUC also initiated a new proceeding to consider the design of the third PBR term. The proceeding remains ongoing, and a decision from the AUC is expected in the second half of 2023.

Rural Electrification Association ("REA") Cost Recovery: In 2021, the AUC determined that costs attributable to REAs, approximating $10 million annually, can no longer be recovered from FortisAlberta's rate payers, effective January 1, 2023. In April 2023, the Alberta Court of Appeal dismissed FortisAlberta's appeal which had asserted that the AUC erred in preventing the company from recovering these costs from its own rate payers to the extent that such costs cannot be recovered directly from REAs. FortisAlberta continues to assess other means, including legislative amendments, to recover these costs.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("Interim Financial Statements") have been prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for rate-regulated entities and are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

The Interim Financial Statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and reflect the equity method of accounting for entities in which Fortis has significant influence, but not control, and proportionate consolidation for assets that are jointly owned with non-affiliated entities.

Intercompany transactions have been eliminated, except for transactions between non-regulated and regulated entities in accordance with U.S. GAAP for rate-regulated entities.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

These Interim Financial Statements do not include all of the disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's 2022 Annual Financial Statements. In management's opinion, these Interim Financial Statements include all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for fair presentation.

The preparation of the Interim Financial Statements required management to make estimates and judgments, including those related to regulatory decisions, that affect the reported amounts of, and disclosures related to, assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, gains, losses and contingencies. Actual results could differ materially from estimates.

The accounting policies applied herein are consistent with those outlined in the Corporation's 2022 Annual Financial Statements.

Future Accounting Pronouncements

The Corporation considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Any ASUs not included in these Interim Financial Statements were assessed and determined to be either not applicable to the Corporation or are not expected to have a material impact on the Interim Financial Statements.

4. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

Fortis segments its business based on regulatory jurisdiction and service territory, as well as the information used by its President and Chief Executive Officer in deciding how to allocate resources. Segment performance is evaluated principally on net earnings attributable to common equity shareholders.

Related-Party and Inter-Company Transactions

Related-party transactions are in the normal course of operations and are measured at the amount of consideration agreed to by the related parties. There were no material related-party transactions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

The lease of gas storage capacity and gas sales from Aitken Creek to FortisBC Energy of $6 million and $15 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2022 - $7 million and $20 million, respectively) are inter-company transactions between non-regulated and regulated entities, which were not eliminated on consolidation.

As at June 30, 2023, accounts receivable included $4 million due from Belize Electricity (December 31, 2022 - $7 million).

Fortis periodically provides short-term financing to subsidiaries to support capital expenditures and seasonal working capital requirements, the impacts of which are eliminated on consolidation. As at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no inter-segment loans outstanding. Interest charged on inter-segment loans was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Derivatives

The Corporation generally limits the use of derivatives to those that qualify as accounting, economic or cash flow hedges, or those that are approved for regulatory recovery.

Derivatives are recorded at fair value with certain exceptions including those derivatives that qualify for the normal purchase and normal sale exception. Fair values reflect estimates based on current market information about the derivatives as at the balance sheet dates. The estimates cannot be determined with precision as they involve uncertainties and matters of judgment and, therefore, may not be relevant in predicting the Corporation's future consolidated earnings or cash flow.

Cash flow associated with the settlement of all derivatives is included in operating activities on the condensed consolidated interim statements of cash flows.

Energy Contracts Subject to Regulatory Deferral

UNS Energy holds electricity power purchase contracts, customer supply contracts and gas swap contracts to reduce its exposure to energy price risk. Fair values are measured primarily under the market approach using independent third-party information, where possible. When published prices are not available, adjustments are applied based on historical price curve relationships, transmission costs and line losses.

Central Hudson holds swap contracts for electricity and natural gas to minimize price volatility by fixing the effective purchase price. Fair values are measured using forward pricing provided by independent third-party information.

FortisBC Energy holds gas supply contracts to fix the effective purchase price of natural gas. Fair values reflect the present value of future cash flows based on published market prices and forward natural gas curves.

Unrealized gains or losses associated with changes in the fair value of these energy contracts are deferred as a regulatory asset or liability for recovery from, or refund to, customers in future rates, as permitted by the regulators. As at June 30, 2023, unrealized losses of $118 million (December 31, 2022 - $84 million) were recognized as regulatory assets and unrealized gains of $54 million (December 31, 2022 - $224 million) were recognized as regulatory liabilities.

Energy Contracts Not Subject to Regulatory Deferral

UNS Energy holds wholesale trading contracts to fix power prices and realize potential margin, of which 10% of any realized gains is shared with customers through rate stabilization accounts. Fair values are measured using a market approach incorporating, where possible, independent third-party information.

Aitken Creek holds gas swap contracts to manage its exposure to changes in natural gas prices, capture natural gas price spreads, and manage the financial risk posed by physical transactions. Fair values are measured using forward pricing from published market sources.

Unrealized gains or losses associated with changes in the fair value of these energy contracts are recognized in revenue. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, unrealized losses of $8 million and unrealized gains of $6 million, respectively were recognized in revenue (three and six months ended June 30, 2022 - unrealized gains of $19 million and $2 million, respectively).

Total Return Swaps

The Corporation holds total return swaps to manage the cash flow risk associated with forecast future cash settlements of certain stock-based compensation obligations. The swaps have a combined notional amount of $119 million and terms of one to three years expiring at varying dates through January 2026. Fair value is measured using an income valuation approach based on forward pricing curves. Unrealized gains and losses associated with changes in fair value are recognized in other income, net. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, unrealized losses of $1 million and unrealized gains of $5 million, respectively were recognized in other income, net (three and six months ended June 30, 2022 - unrealized losses of $2 million and $8 million, respectively).

Foreign Exchange Contracts

The Corporation holds U.S. dollar denominated foreign exchange contracts to help mitigate exposure to foreign exchange rate volatility. The contracts expire at varying dates through February 2025 and have a combined notional amount of $393 million. Fair value was measured using independent third-party information. Unrealized gains and losses associated with changes in fair value are recognized in other income, net. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, unrealized gains recognized in other income, net were $5 million and $7 million, respectively (unrealized losses of $2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively).

Interest Rate Locks

In March 2023, the Corporation entered into an interest rate lock with a total notional value of $100 million to manage the interest rate risk associated with the refinancing of long-term debt maturing in the fall of 2023. The lock has a 10-year term and will be terminated no later than November 1, 2023. Fair value is measured using a discounted cash flow method based on Canadian dollar offered rates. Unrealized gains and losses associated with changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income, and will be reclassified to earnings as a component of interest expense over the life of the debt. Unrealized gains of $4 million were recognized in other comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

During the second quarter of 2023, ITC entered into and settled interest rate locks with a combined notional value of US$500 million. The contracts were used to manage interest rate risk associated with the issuance of US$500 million unsecured senior notes in June 2023. Realized gains of US$4 million were recognized in other comprehensive income, which will be reclassified to earnings as a component of interest expense over 10 years.

13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont'd)

Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swaps

In 2022, the Corporation entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps with a 7-year term to effectively convert its $500 million, 4.43% unsecured senior notes to US$391 million, 4.34% debt. The Corporation designated this notional U.S. debt as an effective hedge of its foreign net investments and unrealized gains and losses associated with exchange rate fluctuations on the notional U.S. debt are recognized in other comprehensive income, consistent with the translation adjustment related to the net investments. Other changes in the fair value of the swaps are also recognized in other comprehensive income but are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Fair value is measured using a discounted cash flow method based on secured overnight financing rates. Unrealized gains of $9 million and $10 million were recorded in other comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 (unrealized losses of $12 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022).

Other Investments

UNS Energy holds investments in money market accounts, and ITC and Central Hudson hold investments in trust associated with supplemental retirement benefit plans for select employees, which include mutual funds and money market accounts. These investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices in active markets. Gains and losses are recognized in other income, net. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, gains of $1 million and $3 million, respectively was recognized in other income, net (three and six months ended June 30, 2022 - losses of $4 million and $9 million, respectively).

Energy Contracts

The Corporation has elected gross presentation for its derivative contracts under master netting agreements and collateral positions, which apply only to its energy contracts. The following table presents the potential offset of counterparty netting.

(1)GWh means gigawatt hours and PJ means petajoules.

Credit Risk

For cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other current assets, and long-term other receivables, credit risk is generally limited to the carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets. The Corporation's subsidiaries generally have a large and diversified customer base, which minimizes the concentration of credit risk. Policies in place to minimize credit risk include requiring customer deposits, prepayments and/or credit checks for certain customers, performing disconnections and/or using third-party collection agencies for overdue accounts.

ITC has a concentration of credit risk as approximately 70% of its revenue is derived from three customers. The customers have investment-grade credit ratings and credit risk is further managed by MISO by requiring a letter of credit or cash deposit equal to the credit exposure, which is determined by a credit-scoring model and other factors.

FortisAlberta has a concentration of credit risk as distribution service billings are to a relatively small group of retailers. Credit risk is managed by obtaining from the retailers either a cash deposit, letter of credit, an investment-grade credit rating, or a financial guarantee from an entity with an investment-grade credit rating.

Central Hudson has seen an increase in accounts receivable due to the suspension of collection efforts in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as higher commodity prices. Central Hudson continues to proactively contact customers regarding past-due balances to advise them of financial assistance available through federal and state programs, and collection efforts are expected to expand in 2023. Under its regulatory framework, Central Hudson can defer uncollectible write-offs that exceed 10 basis points above the amounts collected in customer rates for future recovery.

UNS Energy, Central Hudson, FortisBC Energy, Aitken Creek and the Corporation may be exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivatives. Credit risk is managed by net settling payments, when possible, and dealing only with counterparties that have investment-grade credit ratings. At UNS Energy, Central Hudson and FortisBC Energy, certain contractual arrangements require counterparties to post collateral.

13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont'd)

The value of derivatives in net liability positions under contracts with credit risk-related contingent features that, if triggered, could require the posting of a like amount of collateral was $52 million as at June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $178 million).

Hedge of Foreign Net Investments

The reporting currency of ITC, UNS Energy, Central Hudson, Caribbean Utilities, FortisTCI, Fortis Belize Limited and Belize Electricity is, or is pegged to, the U.S. dollar. The earnings and cash flow from, and net investments in, these entities are exposed to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar-to-Canadian dollar exchange rate. The Corporation has reduced this exposure through hedging.

As at June 30, 2023, US$2.9 billion (December 31, 2022 - US$2.9 billion) of corporately issued U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt has been designated as an effective hedge of net investments, leaving approximately US$10.9 billion (December 31, 2022 - US$10.6 billion) unhedged. Exchange rate fluctuations associated with the net investment in foreign subsidiaries and the debt serving as the hedge are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

Excluding long-term debt, the consolidated carrying value of the Corporation's remaining financial instruments approximates fair value, reflecting their short-term maturity, normal trade credit terms and/or nature.

As at June 30, 2023, the carrying value of long-term debt, including current portion, was $29.3 billion (December 31, 2022 - $28.6 billion) compared to an estimated fair value of $26.9 billion (December 31, 2022 - $25.8 billion).

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

There were no material changes in commitments from that disclosed in the Corporation's 2022 Annual Financial Statements.

Contingencies

In April 2013, FHI and Fortis were named as defendants in an action in the British Columbia Supreme Court by the Coldwater Indian Band ("Band") regarding interests in a pipeline right-of-way on reserve lands. The pipeline was transferred by FHI (then Terasen Inc.) to Kinder Morgan Inc. in 2007. The Band seeks cancellation of the right-of-way and damages for wrongful interference with the Band's use and enjoyment of reserve lands. In 2016, the Federal Court dismissed the Band's application for judicial review of the ministerial consent. In 2017, the Federal Court of Appeal set aside the minister's consent and returned the matter to the minister for redetermination. No amount has been accrued in the Interim Financial Statements as the outcome cannot yet be reasonably determined.

KEY DEVELOPMENT

Pending Sale of Aitken Creek

On May 1, 2023, the Corporation announced that FortisBC Holdings Inc. had entered into a definitive share purchase and sale agreement with a subsidiary of Enbridge Inc. to sell its 93.8% ownership interest in Aitken Creek for approximately $400 million, subject to customary closing conditions and adjustments. The purchase is subject to required approval, principally by the BCUC, and is expected to close by the end of the year. Net proceeds from the transaction will further strengthen the balance sheet and support financing of the Corporation's regulated utility growth strategy.

Revenue

The increase in revenue for the quarter was due primarily to: (i) Rate Base growth; (ii) higher flow-through costs in customer rates, largely at UNS Energy and Central Hudson; and, (iii) a higher U.S.-to-Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate. The increase was partially offset by lower retail electricity sales, due to unfavourable weather, and lower wholesale electricity sales at UNS Energy.

The increase in revenue for the year-to-date period was due primarily to the same factors discussed for the quarter but reflected an increase in revenue from wholesale electricity sales at UNS Energy, due to favourable pricing experienced in the first quarter of 2023.

Earnings and EPS

Common Equity Earnings increased by $10 million in comparison to the second quarter of 2022. The increase primarily reflected Rate Base growth, largely at ITC and the western Canadian utilities. Also contributing to earnings growth was the timing of operating expenses at Central Hudson and FortisAlberta, an increase in the market value of certain investments that support retirement benefits, and a higher U.S.-to-Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate. Growth in earnings was tempered by lower earnings in Arizona, driven by a decrease in retail electricity sales due to milder weather, the timing of wholesale sales, and higher operating costs, partially offset by lower depreciation expense associated with the retirement of the San Juan generating station in June 2022. Lower earnings from Aitken Creek due to the mark-to-market accounting of natural gas derivatives, as well as higher corporate finance costs, also impacted earnings as compared to the second quarter of 2022.

Common Equity Earnings for the year-to-date period increased by $97 million in comparison to the same period in 2022. The increase was due to the same factors discussed for the quarter, except that UNS Energy and Aitken Creek contributed to earnings growth for the six-month period. Year-to-date results in Arizona reflected favourable margins on long-term wholesale sales and higher transmission revenue, and results for Aitken Creek reflected higher volumes and margins on gas sold.

In addition to the above-noted items impacting earnings, the change in EPS for the quarter and year-to-date periods reflected an increase in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, largely associated with the Corporation's DRIP.

Dividends and TSR

Fortis paid a dividend of $0.565 in the second quarter of 2023, up 5.6% from the second quarter of 2022.

Fortis has increased its common share dividend for 49 consecutive years and is targeting annual dividend growth of approximately 4-6% through 2027. See "Outlook" on page 18.

Growth of dividends and the market price of the Corporation's common shares have together yielded the following TSR.

TSR (1) (%) 1-Year 5-Year 10-Year 20-Year
Fortis (2.4) 10.3 9.9 10.9

(1)Annualized TSR per Bloomberg as at June 30, 2023

Operating Cash Flow

The $185 million and $287 million increase in Operating Cash Flow for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, was due primarily to the timing of flow-through costs in customer rates, largely reflecting variances in the cost of natural gas in British Columbia. The increase was also due to higher cash earnings, reflecting Rate Base growth, and the higher U.S.-to-Canadian dollar exchange rate. The increase was partially offset by lower collateral deposits received at UNS Energy related to derivative energy contracts, and higher interest payments.

Capital Expenditures

Capital Expenditures were approximately $2.0 billion through June 2023, representing 47% of the Corporation's annual $4.3 billion Capital Plan, and up $0.1 billion compared to year-to-date 2022.

Capital Expenditures and Capital Plan reflect Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures. Refer to "Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures" on page 8 and in the "Glossary" on page 19.

Sales

The decrease in retail electricity sales for the quarter and year-to-date periods was due primarily to lower air conditioning load associated with milder temperatures in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease was partially offset by customer additions.

The decrease in wholesale electricity sales for the quarter was due to lower long-term wholesale sales. On a year-to-date basis, the decrease in wholesale electricity sales was driven by lower short-term wholesale sales. Revenue from short-term wholesale sales, which relate to contracts that are less than one-year in duration, is primarily credited to customers through the PPFAC mechanism and, therefore, does not materially impact earnings.

The increase in gas sales for the quarter and year-to-date periods was due primarily to higher heating load associated with cooler temperatures in UNS Gas, Inc.'s service territory, as compared to the same periods in 2022.

Revenue

The decrease in revenue, net of foreign exchange, for the quarter was due primarily to: (i) lower retail and long-term wholesale electricity sales, discussed above; and (ii) lower revenue from short-term wholesale electricity sales due to pricing. The decrease was partially offset by the recovery of overall higher fuel and non-fuel costs through the normal operation of regulatory mechanisms.

The increase in revenue, net of foreign exchange, year to date was due primarily to: (i) the recovery of overall higher fuel and non-fuel costs through the normal operation of regulatory mechanisms; (ii) higher revenue from short-term and long-term wholesale sales due to favourable pricing; and (iii) customer additions. The increase was partially offset by lower retail electricity sales, driven by milder weather, and lower short-term wholesale sales.

Earnings

The decrease in earnings, net of foreign exchange, for the quarter was due primarily to: (i) lower retail electricity sales, due to milder weather; (ii) the timing of long-term wholesale electricity sales; and (iii) higher operating costs, primarily reflecting inflationary increases. The decrease was partially offset by lower depreciation expense associated with the retirement of the San Juan generating station in June 2022, and an increase in the market value of certain investments that support retirement benefits.

The increase in earnings, net of foreign exchange, year to date was due to: (i) favourable margins on long-term wholesale sales and higher transmission revenue due to market conditions; (ii) lower depreciation expense associated with the retirement of the San Juan generating station in June 2022; and (iii) an increase in the market value of certain investments that support retirement benefits. The increase was partially offset by higher operating costs, primarily reflecting inflationary increases. Retail electricity margin was largely flat on a year-to-date basis, as the impact of lower retail electricity sales, driven by milder weather, was offset by customer additions and an increase in lost fixed cost recovery revenue.

Sales

The decrease in electricity sales for the quarter and year-to-date periods was due primarily to milder weather.

Gas sales for the quarter and year-to-date periods were relatively consistent with the comparable periods in 2022.

Changes in electricity and gas sales at Central Hudson are subject to regulatory revenue decoupling mechanisms and, therefore, do not materially impact revenue and earnings.

Revenue

The increase in revenue, net of foreign exchange, for the quarter and year-to-date periods was due primarily to: (i) the flow-through of higher energy supply costs driven by commodity prices; and (ii) and an increase in gas and electricity delivery rates effective July 1, 2022.

Earnings

The increase in earnings, net of foreign exchange, for the quarter and year-to-date periods was due primarily to Rate Base growth and the timing of operating expenses, partially offset by finance costs in excess of amounts collected in customer rates.

Sales

The decrease in gas sales for the quarter and year-to-date periods was due primarily to lower average consumption by residential, commercial and transportation customers, largely due to unfavourable weather, partially offset by customer additions.

Revenue

The decrease in revenue for the quarter was due primarily to a lower cost of natural gas recovered from customers and the normal operation of regulatory mechanisms, partially offset by Rate Base growth.

The increase in revenue year to date was due primarily to Rate Base growth and higher gas mitigation incentive revenue, partially offset by the normal operation of regulatory mechanisms.

Earnings

The increase in earnings for the quarter was due primarily to Rate Base growth and the timing of operating costs. The increase year to date was due primarily to Rate Base growth and higher gas mitigation incentive revenue, partially offset by higher operating costs.

FortisBC Energy earns approximately the same margin regardless of whether a customer contracts for the purchase and delivery of natural gas or only for delivery. Due to regulatory deferral mechanisms, changes in consumption levels and commodity costs do not materially impact earnings.

Deliveries

The increase in electricity deliveries for the quarter was due to higher average consumption, largely associated with industrial customers, as well as customer additions.

The increase in electricity deliveries year to date was due primarily to customer additions as well as higher average consumption by commercial and industrial customers. This increase was partially offset by lower average consumption by residential customers due to milder weather in the first quarter of 2023.

As approximately 85% of FortisAlberta's revenue is derived from fixed or largely fixed billing determinants, changes in quantities of energy delivered are not entirely correlated with changes in revenue. Revenue is a function of numerous variables, many of which are independent of actual energy deliveries. Significant variations in weather conditions, however, can impact revenue and earnings.

Revenue and Earnings

The increase in revenue and earnings for the quarter and year-to-date periods was due primarily to Rate Base growth and the operation of the PBR efficiency carry-over mechanism, which was earned in the second term of PBR and recognized in 2023. This increase was partially offset by the lower recovery of costs attributable to REAs (see "Regulatory Matters" on page 9). The timing of operating costs also favourably impacted earnings for the quarter and year-to-date periods.

Sales

The change in electricity sales reflected variations in hydroelectric production in Belize associated with rainfall levels.

Revenue and Earnings

Revenue and earnings for the quarter decreased due primarily to the unfavourable impact of mark-to-market accounting of natural gas derivatives at Aitken Creek, which resulted in unrealized losses of $8 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to unrealized gains of $12 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease was partially offset by higher margins on gas sold at Aitken Creek.

Revenue and earnings year to date increased due primarily to higher volumes and margins on gas sold at Aitken Creek and higher hydroelectric production in Belize. The increase was partially offset by the unfavourable impact of mark-to-market accounting of natural gas derivatives at Aitken Creek, which resulted in unrealized losses of $10 million year-to-date 2023 compared to $7 million for the same period in 2022.

Aitken Creek is subject to commodity price risk, as it purchases and holds natural gas in storage to earn a profit margin from its ultimate sale. Aitken Creek mitigates this risk by using derivatives to materially lock in the profit margin that will be realized upon the sale of natural gas. The fair value accounting of these derivatives creates timing differences and the resultant earnings volatility can be significant.

In May 2023, the Corporation announced a definitive share purchase and sale agreement to sell its 93.8% ownership interest in Aitken Creek. See "Key Developments" on page 1 for further information.

The increase in net expenses, net of foreign exchange, for the quarter and year-to-date periods was primarily due to higher finance costs, reflecting higher interest rates and balances outstanding on the Corporation's credit facilities, as well as the refinancing of long-term debt in the second quarter of 2022.

NON-U.S. GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Adjusted Common Equity Earnings, Adjusted Basic EPS and Capital Expenditures are Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures and may not be comparable with similar measures used by other entities. They are presented because management and external stakeholders use them in evaluating the Corporation's financial performance and prospects.

Net earnings attributable to common equity shareholders (i.e., Common Equity Earnings) and basic EPS are the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures to Adjusted Common Equity Earnings and Adjusted Basic EPS, respectively. These adjusted measures reflect the removal of items that management excludes in its key decision-making processes and evaluation of operating results.

Capital Expenditures include additions to property, plant and equipment and additions to intangible assets, as shown on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. It also includes Fortis' 39% share of capital spending for the Wataynikaneyap Transmission Power Project, consistent with Fortis' evaluation of operating results and its role as project manager during the construction of this Major Capital Project.

FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY

Fortis' focus on sustainability is outlined in its 2022 Annual MD&A. Through 2023, the Corporation has continued to advance work on a range of sustainability initiatives. In August 2023, Fortis released its 2023 Sustainability Update Report, which summarizes recent progress and includes key performance indicators for 2022. Fortis utilities continue to add new renewable energy resources and decarbonize operations while advancing a cleaner energy transition for customers. The Corporation has reduced direct GHG emissions by 29% through 2022 compared to 2019 levels, marking significant progress towards our interim targets to reduce GHG emissions 50% by 2030 and 75% by 2035, as well as our 2050 net-zero direct GHG emissions target. In addition, over the last four years, the GHG intensity of delivered energy has consistently decreased, while net electricity generated by renewable sources and avoided emissions from the use of renewable natural gas has increased significantly.

The report highlights Fortis' advancements in DEI. The Corporation has achieved its Board diversity targets, with 58% of the Board comprised of women and two of twelve members identifying as visible minorities. Our commitment to advancing DEI is reflected in our leadership at Fortis Inc., where 50% of our executive team are women. In addition, to further support Fortis' sustainability reporting, limited third-party assurance was obtained on select 2022 GHG emissions data and Board diversity metrics.

As we transition to a cleaner energy future, customer affordability, safety and reliability remain top priorities and are the cornerstones of our sustainability strategy. Fortis utilities continue to focus on controlling costs, identifying efficiencies and implementing innovative practices to maintain affordability.

REGULATORY MATTERS

ITC

ITC Midwest Capital Structure Complaint: In 2022, FERC issued an order denying the complaint filed by ICAT requesting that ITC Midwest's common equity component of capital structure be reduced from 60% to 53%. In March 2023, FERC confirmed its decision following ICAT's request for rehearing.

MISO Base ROE: In 2022, the D.C. Circuit Court issued a decision vacating certain FERC orders that had established the methodology for setting the base ROE for transmission owners operating in the MISO region, including ITC. This matter dates back to complaints filed at FERC in 2013 and 2015 challenging the MISO base ROE then in effect. The court has remanded the matter to FERC for further process, the timing and outcome of which is unknown. Although any potential impact to Fortis is uncertain, every 10-basis point change in ROE at ITC impacts Fortis' annual EPS by approximately $0.01.

Transmission Incentives: In 2021, FERC issued a supplemental NOPR on transmission incentives modifying the proposal in the initial NOPR released by FERC in 2020. The supplemental NOPR proposes to eliminate the 50-basis point RTO ROE incentive adder for RTO members that have been members for longer than three years. The timing and outcome of this proceeding is unknown.

Transmission ROFR: The State of Iowa has granted incumbent electric transmission owners, including ITC, a ROFR to construct, own and maintain certain electric transmission assets in the state. A challenge against the ROFR statute by certain plaintiffs was initially dismissed by the District Court on the grounds that the plaintiffs lacked standing. In March 2023, the Iowa Supreme Court determined that the plaintiffs have standing to challenge the Iowa ROFR statute, issued a temporary injunction staying enforcement of the ROFR statute, and remanded the matter to the District Court to decide the merits of the claim. ITC previously exercised its right to construct certain electric transmission projects approved and awarded by MISO, including projects associated with the first tranche of MISO's LRTP. Management does not believe that this proceeding will impact projects that have already been approved and under development; however, the timing of this proceeding and any impact on future projects, is unknown.

UNS Energy

TEP General Rate Application: In July 2023, the ALJ issued a recommended opinion and order on TEP's general rate application recommending, among other things, an increase in non-fuel revenue of US$102 million, a 9.4% ROE with a 0.2% return on the fair value increment, and a 54.32% common equity component of capital structure. TEP's existing ROE and common equity component of capital structure is 9.15% and 53%, respectively. While the timing and outcome of this proceeding is unknown, the ALJ recommended that the new rates become effective on or after September 1, 2023.

PPFAC Mechanism: The PPFAC mechanism allows for the timely recovery or return of purchased power and fuel costs, as compared to that collected in customer rates, at TEP and UNSE. The PPFAC balance has increased in recent years, reflecting higher commodity costs. In May 2023, the ACC approved rate adjustments at TEP and UNSE to collect the PPFAC balances over 12- and 33-month periods, respectively.

Central Hudson

General Rate Application: In July 2023, Central Hudson filed a rate application with the PSC requesting an increase in electric and gas delivery rates effective July 1, 2024. The application includes a request to set Central Hudson's allowed ROE at 9.8% and a 50% common equity component of capital structure. The timing and outcome of this proceeding is unknown.

CIS Implementation: In January 2023, Central Hudson filed a response to the PSC's Order to Commence Proceeding and Show Cause, which had directed Central Hudson to explain why the PSC should not pursue civil or administrative penalties or initiate a proceeding to review the prudence of implementation costs associated with its new CIS. In July 2023, an interim agreement was reached with the PSC, in which Central Hudson agreed to independent third-party verification of recent system improvements related to its billing system, and to accelerate the implementation of its monthly meter reading plan. The timing and outcome of this proceeding remains unknown.

FortisBC Energy and FortisBC Electric

GCOC Proceeding: In 2021, the BCUC initiated a proceeding including a review of the common equity component of capital structure and the allowed ROE. FortisBC filed a final argument with the BCUC in December 2022 and the proceeding remains ongoing, with a decision expected in the third quarter 2023. The decision could be effective retroactively to January 1, 2023.

FortisAlberta

2024 GCOC Proceeding: In 2022, the AUC initiated proceedings to establish the cost of capital parameters for Alberta regulated utilities, including consideration of a formula-based approach to setting the allowed ROE for 2024 and beyond. The proceeding remains ongoing, and a decision from the AUC is expected in the second half of 2023.

Third PBR Term: In 2021, the AUC issued a decision confirming that Alberta distribution utilities will be subject to a third PBR term commencing in 2024. The AUC also initiated a new proceeding to consider the design of the third PBR term. The proceeding remains ongoing, and a decision from the AUC is expected in the second half of 2023.

REA Cost Recovery: In 2021, the AUC determined that costs attributable to REAs, approximating $10 million annually, can no longer be recovered from FortisAlberta's rate payers, effective January 1, 2023. In April 2023, the Alberta Court of Appeal dismissed FortisAlberta's appeal which had asserted that the AUC erred in preventing the company from recovering these costs from its own rate payers to the extent that such costs cannot be recovered directly from REAs. FortisAlberta continues to assess other means, including legislative amendments, to recover these costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow Requirements

At the subsidiary level, it is expected that operating expenses and interest costs will be paid from Operating Cash Flow, with varying levels of residual cash flow available for capital expenditures and/or dividend payments to Fortis. Remaining capital expenditures are expected to be financed primarily from borrowings under credit facilities, long-term debt offerings and equity injections from Fortis. Borrowings under credit facilities may be required periodically to support seasonal working capital requirements.

Cash required of Fortis to support subsidiary growth is generally derived from borrowings under the Corporation's committed credit facility, the operation of the DRIP and issuances of common shares, preference equity and long-term debt. The subsidiaries pay dividends to Fortis and receive equity injections from Fortis when required. Both Fortis and its subsidiaries initially borrow through their committed credit facilities and periodically replace these borrowings with long-term financing. Financing needs also arise to refinance maturing debt.

11 FORTIS INC. JUNE 30, 2023 QUARTER REPORT
Interim Management Discussion and Analysis
---

Credit facilities are syndicated primarily with large banks in Canada and the U.S., with no one bank holding more than approximately 20% of the Corporation's total revolving credit facilities. Approximately $5.7 billion of the total credit facilities are committed with maturities ranging from 2023 through 2028. Available credit facilities are summarized in the following table.

Credit Facilities
As at Corporate<br>and Other June 30,<br>2023 December 31,<br>2022
( millions)
Total credit facilities (1) 2,034 5,997 5,850
Credit facilities utilized:

Letters of credit outstanding (38) (95) (128)
Credit facilities unutilized 1,226 4,260 3,812

All values are in US Dollars.

(1)    See Note 14 in the 2022 Annual Financial Statements for a description of the credit facilities as at December 31, 2022.

In April 2023, ITC increased its total credit facilities available from US$900 million to US$1 billion and extended the maturity to April 2028.

In May 2023, the Corporation amended its $1.3 billion revolving term committed credit facility agreement to extend the maturity to July 2028.

Also in May 2023, the Corporation extended the maturity on its unsecured US$500 million non-revolving term credit facility to May 2024. The facility is repayable at any time without penalty, and provides the Corporation with additional, cost effective short-term financing.

The Corporation's ability to service debt and pay dividends is dependent on the financial results of, and the related cash payments from, its subsidiaries. Certain regulated subsidiaries are subject to restrictions that limit their ability to distribute cash to Fortis, including restrictions by certain regulators limiting annual dividends and restrictions by certain lenders limiting debt to total capitalization. There are also practical limitations on using the net assets of the regulated subsidiaries to pay dividends, based on management's intent to maintain the subsidiaries' regulator-approved capital structures. Fortis does not expect that maintaining such capital structures will impact its ability to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

As at June 30, 2023, consolidated fixed-term debt maturities/repayments are expected to average $1,472 million annually over the next five years and approximately 73% of the Corporation's consolidated long-term debt, excluding credit facility borrowings, had maturities beyond five years.

In November 2022, Fortis filed a short-form base shelf prospectus with a 25-month life under which it may issue common or preference shares, subscription receipts, or debt securities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.0 billion. As at June 30, 2023, $2.0 billion remained available under the short-form base shelf prospectus.

Fortis is well positioned with strong liquidity. This combination of available credit facilities and manageable annual debt maturities/repayments provides flexibility in the timing of access to capital markets. Given current credit ratings and capital structures, the Corporation and its subsidiaries currently expect to continue to have reasonable access to long-term capital in 2023.

Fortis and its subsidiaries were in compliance with debt covenants as at June 30, 2023 and are expected to remain compliant in 2023.

Investing Activities

The Corporation's Capital Plan for 2023 is estimated to be $4.3 billion, an increase of approximately 7% from $4.0 billion in 2022. The increase in cash used in investing activities for the quarter and year-to-date periods reflects higher capital investments planned for 2023, as well as the higher U.S.-to-Canadian dollar exchange rate. See "Capital Plan" on page 14.

Financing Activities

Cash flows related to financing activities will fluctuate largely as a result of changes in the subsidiaries' capital expenditures and the amount of Operating Cash Flow available to fund those capital expenditures, which together impact the amount of funding required from debt and common equity issuances. The increase in cash provided by financing activities in 2023 also reflects the advancement of certain planned debt issuances in consideration of further expected increases in interest rates. See "Cash Flow Requirements" on page 11.

Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes to the contractual obligations disclosed in the 2022 Annual MD&A, except issuances of long-term debt and credit facility utilization (see "Cash Flow Summary" on page 12).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There were no material changes to off-balance sheet arrangements from those disclosed in the 2022 Annual MD&A.

Capital Structure and Credit Ratings

Fortis requires ongoing access to capital and, therefore, targets a consolidated long-term capital structure that will enable it to maintain investment-grade credit ratings. The regulated utilities maintain their own capital structures in line with those reflected in customer rates.

Consolidated Capital Structure June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022
As at ($ millions) (%) ($ millions) (%)
Debt (1) 28,817 55.4 28,792 55.8

(2)    Includes shareholders' equity, excluding preference shares, and non-controlling interests. Non-controlling interests represented 3.5% as at June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - 3.5%)

Outstanding Share Data

As at August 1, 2023, the Corporation had issued and outstanding 486.5 million common shares and the following First Preference Shares: 5.0 million Series F; 9.2 million Series G; 7.7 million Series H; 2.3 million Series I; 8.0 million Series J; 10.0 million Series K; and 24.0 million Series M.

Only the common shares of the Corporation have voting rights. The Corporation's first preference shares do not have voting rights unless and until Fortis fails to pay eight quarterly dividends, whether or not consecutive or declared.

If all outstanding stock options were converted as at August 1, 2023, an additional 2.1 million common shares would be issued and outstanding.

Credit Ratings

The Corporation's credit ratings shown below reflect its low risk profile, diversity of operations, the stand-alone nature and financial separation of each regulated subsidiary, and the level of holding company debt.

As at June 30, 2023 Rating Type Outlook
S&P A- Issuer Stable
BBB+ Unsecured debt
DBRS Morningstar A (low) Issuer Stable
A (low) Unsecured debt
Moody's Baa3 Issuer Stable
Baa3 Unsecured debt

In May 2023, DBRS Morningstar confirmed the Corporation's A (low) issuer and senior unsecured debt credit ratings and stable outlook.

In July 2023, S&P confirmed the Corporation's 'A-' issuer and 'BBB+' senior unsecured debt credit ratings and stable outlook.

Capital Plan

Year-to-date Capital Expenditures of $2.0 billion are consistent with expectations and the Corporation's annual $4.3 billion Capital Plan is on track.

While global supply chain constraints and inflation represent potential concerns, the Corporation does not expect a material impact on its 2023-2027 Capital Plan, although certain planned expenditures may shift within the five years. The Corporation continues to proactively work to mitigate supply chain constraints by identifying high priority materials and consolidating buying power to improve outcomes, increasing inventory levels, and closely working with suppliers to ensure material availability.

Five-Year Capital Plan

The 2023-2027 Capital Plan is targeted at $22.3 billion, reflecting an average of $4.5 billion of Capital Expenditures annually. In total, Fortis expects to invest $5.9 billion in cleaner energy over the five-year period. The Capital Plan is low risk and highly executable, with 99% of planned expenditures to occur at the regulated utilities and only 17% relating to Major Capital Projects. Geographically, 55% of planned expenditures are expected in the U.S., including 26% at ITC, with 41% in Canada and the remaining 4% in the Caribbean.

Planned Capital Expenditures are based on detailed forecasts of energy demand as well as labour and material costs, including inflation, supply chain availability, general economic conditions, foreign exchange rates and other factors. These could change and cause actual expenditures to differ from forecast.

Major Capital Project Updates

FortisBC Energy

In May 2023, the CPCN application for the AMI project was approved by the BCUC. The project includes replacement of residential and small commercial meters with advanced meters to support the safety, resiliency, and efficient operation of the gas distribution system. The project is expected to commence in the second half of 2023.

FortisBC Energy submitted a supplemental filing with the BCUC in May 2023 for the Okanagan Capacity Upgrade project, to provide updates to key evidence in the proceeding based on recently available information. With respect to the Tilbury LNG Storage Expansion project, the regulatory process was adjourned in March 2023 in order for FortisBC Energy to prepare further information in support of the CPCN application. As a result, BCUC approval for both projects could be later than originally expected.

FortisBC Energy received approval from the BCUC in May 2023, as directed by Order of the Lieutenant Governor in Council, for amended transportation rate schedules for the Eagle Mountain Woodfibre Gas Line project. This approval brings the project one-step closer to commencement of construction. FortisBC Energy continues to receive deposit funding from Woodfibre LNG Limited for development expenditures to be incurred for the project.

Additional Investment Opportunities

Propel New York Energy Project

Central Hudson owns a minority equity interest in Transco, a joint venture with affiliates of other investor-owned utilities in New York State, which was created to develop, own, and operate electric transmission projects in the state. In June 2023, the New York Independent System Operator selected a proposal by Transco, in partnership with the New York Power Authority, to construct transmission infrastructure to deliver at least 3,000 MW from Long Island offshore wind facilities to the rest of the state by 2030. Transco's portion of the project, titled the "Propel New York Energy Project," is estimated to cost approximately US$2.2 billion, of which Central Hudson will contribute approximately 10%.

BUSINESS RISKS

The Corporation's business risks remain substantially unchanged from those disclosed in its 2022 Annual MD&A. See "Regulatory Matters" on page 9 and "Outlook" on page 18 for applicable updates.

ACCOUNTING MATTERS

Accounting Policies

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies and methods as those used to prepare the 2022 Annual Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the Interim Financial Statements required management to make estimates and judgments, including those related to regulatory decisions, that affect the reported amounts of, and disclosures related to, assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, gains, losses and contingencies. Actual results could differ materially from estimates.

There were no material changes to the nature of the Corporation's critical accounting estimates or contingencies from those disclosed in the 2022 Annual MD&A.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Long-Term Debt and Other

As at June 30, 2023, the carrying value of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $29.3 billion (December 31, 2022 - $28.6 billion) compared to an estimated fair value of $26.9 billion (December 31, 2022 - $25.8 billion).

The consolidated carrying value of the remaining financial instruments, other than derivatives, approximates fair value, reflecting their short-term maturity, normal trade credit terms and/or nature.

Derivatives

Derivatives are recorded at fair value with certain exceptions, including those derivatives that qualify for the normal purchase and normal sale exception.

There were no material changes with respect to the nature and purpose, methodologies for fair value determination, and portfolio of the Corporation's derivatives from those disclosed in the 2022 Annual MD&A, except for interest rate locks utilized at ITC and Fortis, as disclosed in Note 13 to the Interim Financial Statements.

Generally, within each calendar year, quarterly results fluctuate in accordance with seasonality. Given the diversified nature of the Corporation's subsidiaries, seasonality varies. Most of the annual earnings of the gas utilities are realized in the first and fourth quarters due to space-heating requirements. Earnings for the electric distribution utilities in the U.S. are generally highest in the second and third quarters due to the use of air conditioning and other cooling equipment.

Generally, from one calendar year to the next, quarterly results reflect: (i) continued organic growth driven by the Corporation's Capital Plan; (ii) any significant temperature fluctuations from seasonal norms; (iii) the impact of market conditions, particularly with respect to long-term wholesale sales and transmission revenue at UNS Energy, as well as margins realized on gas sold at Aitken Creek; (iv) the timing and significance of any regulatory decisions; (v) changes in the U.S.-to-Canadian dollar exchange rate; (vi) for revenue, the flow-through in customer rates of commodity costs; and (vii) for EPS, increases in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

16 FORTIS INC. JUNE 30, 2023 QUARTER REPORT
Interim Management Discussion and Analysis

March 2023/March 2022

Common Equity Earnings increased by $87 million and basic EPS increased by $0.16 in comparison to the first quarter of 2022 due to Rate Base growth, mainly at ITC and the western Canadian utilities, as well as higher earnings at UNS Energy. Market conditions resulted in wholesale electricity sales with favourable margin and higher transmission revenue at UNS Energy in the first quarter of 2023 compared to later quarters in 2022. Higher retail electricity sales, including the impact of favourable weather, and lower depreciation expense associated with the retirement of the San Juan generating station in June 2022, also contributed to results in Arizona. Results for the quarter also reflected higher earnings at Aitken Creek, an increase in the market value of investments that support retirement benefits at UNS Energy and ITC, and a higher U.S.-to-Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate, partially offset by higher corporate finance costs. The change in basic EPS also reflected an increase in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, largely associated with the Corporation's DRIP.

December 2022/December 2021

Common Equity Earnings increased by $42 million and basic EPS increased by $0.08 in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2021 due to: (i) Rate Base growth; (ii) higher retail electricity sales and transmission revenue at UNS Energy; (iii) higher earnings from the energy infrastructure segment driven by hydroelectric production in Belize, as well as the favourable impact of market conditions at Aitken Creek; and (iv) the timing of expenses at FortisAlberta. The translation of U.S. dollar-denominated subsidiary earnings at the higher U.S.-to-Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate and lower stock-based compensation costs also contributed to results with these impacts exceeding the related losses associated with hedging activities. The increase in earnings was partially offset by higher corporate costs, reflecting higher finance costs and a lower income tax recovery, as well as lower earnings at Central Hudson, reflecting the finalization of the company's rate application in late 2021 with retroactive application to July 1, 2021. The change in basic EPS also reflected an increase in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, largely associated with the Corporation's DRIP.

September 2022/September 2021

Common Equity Earnings increased by $31 million and basic EPS increased by $0.05 in comparison to the third quarter of 2021 due to: (i) Rate Base growth, mainly at ITC; (ii) higher retail electricity sales, transmission revenue and earnings associated with the Oso Grande generating facility in Arizona; (iii) higher earnings from the energy infrastructure segment mainly due to mark-to-market accounting of natural gas derivatives and higher hydroelectric production in Belize; and (iv) the impact of new customer rates and the timing of operating costs at Central Hudson.

Growth was tempered by the timing of expenses in Alberta and a favourable adjustment recognized in 2021 related to interest rate swaps at ITC. Results for the third quarter of 2022 were also impacted by significant items at ITC, including costs associated with the suspension of the Lake Erie Connector project, and the revaluation of deferred income tax assets due to a reduction in the corporate income tax rate in the state of Iowa. The impact of mark-to-market losses associated with hedging activities was more than offset by lower stock-based compensation costs and the translation of U.S. dollar-denominated subsidiary earnings at the higher U.S.-to-Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate. The change in basic EPS also reflected an increase in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, largely associated with the Corporation's DRIP.

RELATED-PARTY AND INTER-COMPANY TRANSACTIONS

Related-party transactions are in the normal course of operations and are measured at the amount of consideration agreed to by the related parties. There were no material related-party transactions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

The lease of gas storage capacity and gas sales from Aitken Creek to FortisBC Energy of $6 million and $15 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2022 - $7 million and $20 million, respectively) are inter-company transactions between non-regulated and regulated entities, which were not eliminated on consolidation.

As at June 30, 2023, accounts receivable included $4 million due from Belize Electricity (December 31, 2022 - $7 million).

Fortis periodically provides short-term financing to subsidiaries to support capital expenditures and seasonal working capital requirements, the impacts of which are eliminated on consolidation. As at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no inter-segment loans outstanding. Interest charged on inter-segment loans was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

OUTLOOK

Fortis continues to enhance shareholder value through the execution of its Capital Plan, the balance and strength of its diversified portfolio of regulated utility businesses, and growth opportunities within and proximate to its service territories. While energy price volatility, global supply chain constraints, increasing interest rates and inflation represent potential concerns, the Corporation does not expect these factors to have a material impact on its operations or financial results in 2023.

Fortis is executing on the transition to a cleaner energy future and is on track to achieve its corporate-wide targets to reduce GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 and 75% by 2035. The Corporation's additional 2050 net-zero direct GHG emissions target reinforces Fortis' commitment to further decarbonize over the long-term, while preserving customer reliability and affordability.

The Corporation's $22.3 billion five-year Capital Plan is expected to increase midyear Rate Base from $34.1 billion in 2022 to $46.1 billion by 2027, translating into a five-year CAGR of 6.2%.

Beyond the five-year Capital Plan, additional opportunities to expand and extend growth include: further expansion of the electric transmission grid in the U.S. to facilitate the interconnection of cleaner energy, including infrastructure investments associated with the IRA and the MISO LRTP; climate adaptation and grid resiliency investments; renewable gas solutions and LNG infrastructure in British Columbia; and the acceleration of cleaner energy infrastructure investments across our jurisdictions.

Fortis expects its long-term growth in Rate Base will drive earnings that support dividend growth guidance of 4-6% annually through 2027, and is premised on the assumptions and material factors listed under "Forward-Looking Information".

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
