OUR COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS
Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (together with its controlled entities, “Brookfield Renewable”) is a globally diversified, multi-technology, owner and operator of clean energy and sustainable solutions assets.
Our strategy is to utilize our global reach, scale capital and experience to acquire and develop high quality clean energy and sustainable solutions assets below intrinsic value, finance them on a long-term, low-risk and investment grade basis through a conservative financing strategy and then optimize cash flows by applying our operating expertise to enhance value or bring these assets into production, generating incremental cash flows for our business.
One of the largest, public decarbonization businesses globally with a strong track record of value creation. Brookfield Renewable has a 25-year track record as a publicly traded operator, developer and investor in renewable power and sustainable solution assets. Today we have a large, multi-technology and globally diversified portfolio that is supported by approximately 5,870 experienced employees (inclusive of employees employed by our consolidated portfolio companies). Brookfield Renewable invests in assets directly, as well as with institutional partners, joint venture partners and through other arrangements. We have also made investments in sustainable solutions, comprised of assets and businesses that enable the transition to net-zero where we can leverage our access to capital and partnerships to accelerate growth, and emerging transition asset classes where our initial investment positions us for potential future large scale decarbonization investment. Our sustainable solutions portfolio also includes investments in power transformation opportunities where we have invested in businesses to enable the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through the deployment of traditional renewables.
Our globally diverse portfolio helps to mitigate resource variability, and improves consistency of our cash flows. Our organic growth and acquisitions are typically done through Brookfield's private funds and therefore on a proportionate basis Brookfield Renewable's business will continue to diversify but remain heavily weighted to our premium, critical hydroelectric assets.
Our renewable power portfolio consists of hydroelectric, wind, utility-scale solar, distributed generation and energy storage facilities in North America, South America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, and our total power portfolio consists of approximately 47,300 MW of installed capacity. We also have a large global development pipeline of over 200 GW. Our portfolio of sustainable solutions assets includes our investments in Westinghouse (a leading global nuclear services business), a utility and independent power producer with operations in the Caribbean and Latin America, as well as both operating assets and a development pipeline of carbon capture and storage capacity, agricultural renewable natural gas, materials recycling and a pipeline of eFuels production capacity.

The following charts illustrate Funds From Operations on a proportionate basis(1):
(1) Figures based on Funds From Operations for the last twelve months, net to Brookfield Renewable, adjusted to long-term average generation and excluding other income.
Diverse and high-quality portfolio of renewable power and sustainable solutions assets. Brookfield Renewable has a complementary portfolio of hydroelectric, wind, utility-scale solar, energy storage and distributed generation and other sustainable solutions assets:
•Hydroelectric Power. Today, hydroelectric power is the largest segment in our portfolio and continues to be a premium and differentiated technology as one of the longest life, lowest-cost and cleanest forms of power generation. Hydroelectric plants have high cash margins and storage capacity with the ability to dispatch power at all hours of the day.
•Wind & Solar Power. Our wind and utility-scale solar generation facilities provide exposure to some of the fastest growing renewable power sectors, with high cash margins, zero fuel input cost, and diverse and scalable applications. Wind and solar are now among the lowest cost forms of power generation available globally.
•Energy Storage & Distributed Generation. Our energy storage facilities provide the markets in which they are located with critical services to the grid, including dispatchable generation, and our distributed generation assets provide independent, secure, behind the meter power solutions to customers.
•Sustainable Solutions. Our sustainable solutions assets, such as carbon capture, renewable natural gas capacity, nuclear services and our eFuels business, are helping corporates and countries enhance their operations and achieve their net-zero goals.
With our scale, diversity, operating and development capabilities and the quality of our assets, we are competitively positioned relative to other renewable power and transition companies. Our large pipeline and differentiated capabilities provide significant scarcity value and growth potential for our investors.

Best-in-class operators and developers. Brookfield Renewable has approximately 5,870 experienced operators (inclusive of employees employed by our consolidated portfolio companies) that are located across the globe to help optimize the performance and maximize the returns of all our assets. Our experience operating, developing, and managing power generation facilities spans over 120 years. We continue to accelerate our development activities as we build out our over 200 GW renewable power pipeline, and further enhance our decarbonization offering to our customers through the build out of our sustainable solutions assets, which includes opportunities to invest in material recycling, CCS, RNG, eFuels and others. Increasingly, the combination of our operating and developing capabilities with our growth pipeline is differentiating our business as the partner of choice for buyers of clean power and entities looking to decarbonize, driving the growth of our business.
Positioned to meet growing demand for power, accelerate decarbonization and improve the stability of electricity grids. Energy demand continues to accelerate, driven by the multi-decade trends of electrification and reindustrialization, and this has been further amplified by AI in recent years. Today, renewables are the lowest cost source of bulk power generation in most regions, and the most readily deployable, making them among the most viable solutions to help meet energy demand growth. We are positioned to meet this demand with our large, diverse global development pipeline and differentiated capabilities. In addition to power demand growth, renewables help mitigate energy security risks while also enabling corporates and governments to achieve their decarbonization goals. We believe that our scale and global operating, development and investing capabilities make us well positioned to partner with governments and corporates to help them achieve their transition targets, while also improving the stability of grids through the delivery of secure, low-cost renewable power.
Strong financial profile and conservative financing strategy. Brookfield Renewable maintains a robust balance sheet, strong investment grade rating, and access to global capital markets to ensure cash flow resiliency through the cycle and flexibility to opportunistically deploy capital. Our approach to financing is to raise the majority of our debt in the form of asset-specific, non-recourse borrowings at our subsidiaries on an investment grade basis with no financial maintenance covenants. Approximately 90% of our debt is either investment grade rated or sized to investment grade metrics. Our corporate debt to market capitalization is approximately 13% and approximately 89% of our borrowings are non-recourse. Corporate borrowings and proportionate non-recourse borrowings have weighted-average terms of approximately 14 years and 10 years, respectively, with no material maturities over the next five years. Approximately 84% of our financings are effectively fixed rate and only 12% of our debt outside North America and Europe is exposed to changes in interest rates. Our available liquidity as at March 31, 2026 is over $4.7 billion of cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities and the available portion of credit facilities.
Well positioned for cash flow growth and an attractive long-term distribution profile. We have diverse, reliable and derisked cash flow growth levers that help enable our stable distribution growth target of 5% to 9% annually. Our business is funded by internally generated cash flows, asset recycling and upfinancing which support organic development and acquisition activities that contribute to cash flow growth. Our operating cash flows also have embedded growth levers including inflation escalations in the vast majority of our contracts, potential margin expansion through revenue growth and cost reduction initiatives.
Disciplined investment strategy and differentiated capabilities. Our global scale, access to capital and capabilities across technologies allow us to flexibly deploy capital in order to earn strong risk-adjusted returns. We take a disciplined approach to allocating capital into development and acquisitions focused on downside protection and preservation of capital, leveraging Brookfield’s team of over 150 investment professionals globally who are dedicated to sourcing and underwriting accretive acquisitions on an opportunistic basis. Our ability to develop and acquire assets is strengthened by our operating and project development teams across the globe, our commercial and supplier relationships, our strategic relationship with Brookfield, and our liquidity and capitalization profile.
Differentiated approach to asset development and asset management. We employ a conservative, differentiated approach with respect to asset development and management whereby we look to remove what we call “basis risk” before committing significant capital. To do this, we look to secure financing, customer agreements and engineering, procurement and construction contracts concurrently so we have strong visibility on cash flows and can lock-in our target returns. Where possible, we look to secure fixed rate financing, inflation indexed customer agreements and full wrap construction contracts to minimize uncertainty and provide strong visibility to our cash flows.

Operations
Funds From Operations of $375 million or $0.55 on a per unit basis is higher than the prior year driven by:
•Contributions from our diverse, global fleet with embedded growth from our contracted and inflation-linked cash flows;
•Recent acquisitions, including Neoen, Geronimo Power and our increased stake in Isagen;
•Continued growth from our scaling development activities, including almost 9,150 MW of new development projects reaching commercial operation in the past 12 months; and
•Gains on sales from our recurring and scaling capital recycling activities
After deducting non-cash depreciation, foreign exchange and derivative gains or losses and other, net loss attributable to Unitholders for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $229 million.
We strengthened our position as the global partner of choice for the world’s largest buyers of power delivering differentiated energy solutions.
•Advanced commercial initiatives, contracting ~1,700 MW of our advanced stage projects during the quarter
We continue to progress key workstreams with Westinghouse and the U.S. Government to advance the development of new utility-scale reactors in the U.S. focusing on delivering long lead time equipment orders for Westinghouse’s proprietary AP1000 technology.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our best-in-class balance sheet with investment grade BBB+ credit rating and access to diverse sources of capital continues to differentiate our business and support our growth initiatives:
•Our financial position remains strong with $4.7 billion of available liquidity providing substantial flexibility to deploy capital into growth opportunities across our core markets;
•We took advantage of favorable market conditions and issued C$500 million of 30-year notes at 5.20%. The issuance had strong investor demand and priced at the tightest new issue spread we have ever achieved;
•We progressed re-contracting initiatives on a scale portfolio of hydro assets in Ontario, which once signed, we expect will support significant upfinancings that we plan to execute during 2026; and
•We launched our BEPC at-the-market equity issuance program during the quarter, issuing ~2.8 million BEPC shares and repurchasing the same number of BEP units, resulting in ~$27 million of realized cash gains
Together with our institutional partners, we completed or reached agreements to sell assets generating ~$2.8 billion (~$820 million net to Brookfield Renewable), including:
•Closing the sales of a 25% interest in a 403 MW portfolio of operating hydro assets in the U.S., a 73 MW portfolio of operating wind assets in the U.K. and a 833 MW portfolio of operating solar assets in the U.S. generating proceeds of approximately $740 million (~$210 million net to Brookfield Renewable);
•Completed the IPO of one of our Indian operating and development platform, selling approximately half our stake through an IPO and private placement, realizing proceeds of approximately $185 million (~$36 million net to Brookfield Renewable); and
•Signing agreements to sell a ~2,300 MW portfolio of operating wind and solar assets in the U.S., and a remaining 50% interest in a 403 MW portfolio of operating hydro assets in the U.S. These transactions are expected to generate proceeds of approximately $1.8 billion (~$600 million net to Brookfield Renewable) and are subject to customary closing conditions
BEP and BEPC Structure
•We have recently begun exploring whether a single combined corporate structure would be the best path forward. The goal is to determine if, on a tax-free basis, we can create a single corporate security that would enhance liquidity, increase index inclusion and create value for our investors

Growth and Development
Together with our institutional partners, we have deployed, or committed to deploy approximately $2.2 billion (~$550 million net to Brookfield Renewable) into growth, further diversifying our business
•Together with La Caisse, we announced an agreement to acquire Boralex, a leading Canadian publicly listed renewable power platform with approximately 4,000 MW of operating and under construction wind, solar, hydro and battery assets diversified across Canada, France, the U.S. and the U.K. as well as an ~8,000 MW development pipeline. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions
We continue to accelerate our development activities
•Commissioned approximately 1,800 MW of new utility scale solar, wind and battery storage projects during the quarter. We continue to expect to deliver ~10,000 MW of new projects per year starting in 2027

Variance Analysis For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
Revenues totaling $1,514 million represents a decrease of $66 million over the same period in the prior year as the benefit from growth of our business and higher realized pricing was more than offset by unfavorable generation. Recently acquired and commissioned facilities, that we consolidate, contributed 512 GWh of generation and $36 million to revenues which was partially offset by our recently completed asset sales that reduced generation by 1,715 GWh and revenues by $161 million. On a same store, constant currency basis, revenue decreased by $24 million as the benefit from higher resources at our Canadian and Colombia hydroelectric assets and higher realized prices in Brazil on the back of inflation escalation and commercial initiatives were more than offset by lower hydrology at our U.S. and Brazil hydroelectric assets, higher contributions from trading activities, and lower generation at our wind assets in Europe, China and Brazil, as well as lower realized pricing in Colombia due to lower spot prices on our uncontracted generation caused by higher system-wide hydrology.
The strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar relative to the same period in the prior year increased revenues by $83 million, which was partly offset by a $67 million unfavorable foreign exchange impact on our direct operating costs and interest expense for the quarter.
Direct operating costs totaling $779 million represents an increase of $104 million over the same period in the prior year primarily due to additional costs from our recently acquired and commissioned facilities and the above noted strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which were partially offset by recently completed asset sales.
Other income totaling $138 million represents a decrease of $32 million due to the gain on sale in the prior year related to the disposition of a 25% interest in a 2.2 GW pumped storage facility in Europe.
Management service costs totaling $73 million represents an increase of $24 million over the same period in the prior due to the growth of our business.
Interest expense totaling $639 million represents an increase of $30 million over the same period in the prior year due to financing initiatives to fund growth.
Depreciation expense totaling $548 million represents a decrease of $35 million over the same period in the prior year due to recently completed asset sales.
Net loss totaling $295 million represents an increase of $187 million over the prior year due to the above noted items, the increase in global power prices led to a $193 million mark-to-market impact on our long-term energy derivative contracts compared to the prior year, which was partially offset by stamp duties levied in the prior year upon reaching prescribed ownership thresholds in certain jurisdictions Neoen operates.

Adjusted EBITDA and FFO across our hydroelectric business totaled $341 million and $210 million, respectively, versus $261 million and $163 million, respectively, in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA and FFO benefited from strong same-store generation in Canada and Colombia, stronger pricing in Brazil from contracting initiatives and inflation-indexation, gains on sale of non-core assets in the U.S. and our increased ownership in Isagen. Results were partially offset by weaker same-store generation in the U.S., weaker pricing in Colombia due to high system-wide generation levels and higher interest expense from our upfinancing activities across the fleet over the past year.

CONTRACT PROFILE
We operate our power business on a largely contracted basis to provide a high degree of predictability in Funds From Operations. We maintain a long-term view that electricity prices and the demand for electricity will rise due to electrification of the global economy including segments like industrial and transportation as well as from increasing digitalization. We also expect demand for clean power to grow as renewables are the cheapest form of bulk electricity generation, on the increasing level of acceptance around climate change and the legislated requirements in some areas to diversify away from fossil fuel based generation.
In Brazil and Colombia, we also expect power prices will continue to be supported by the need to build new supply over the medium-to-long term to serve growing demand and therefore we would expect to capture rising prices as we re-contract our power over the medium-term.
The following table sets out our power contracts over the next five years for generation output in North America, Brazil, Europe and certain other countries, assuming long-term average on a proportionate basis. The table excludes Brazil and Colombia hydroelectric portfolios, where we would expect the energy associated with maturing contracts to be re-contracted in the normal course given the construct of the respective power markets. In these countries, for the remainder of 2025 we currently have a contracted profile of approximately 85% and 70%, respectively, of the long-term average. Overall, our power portfolio has a weighted-average remaining contract duration of 12 years on a proportionate basis.

Weighted-average remaining contract durations on a proportionate basis are 13 years in North America, 17 years in Europe, 9 years in Brazil, 5 years in Colombia, and 15 years across our remaining jurisdictions.
In North America, over the next five years, a number of contracts will expire at our hydroelectric facilities. Based on current market prices for energy and ancillary products, we expect a net positive impact to cash flows.
In our Colombian portfolio, we continue to focus on securing long-term contracts while maintaining a certain percentage of uncontracted generation to mitigate hydrology risk.
The majority of Brookfield Renewable’s long-term power purchase agreements within our North American and European businesses are with investment-grade rated or creditworthy counterparties. The economic exposure of our contracted generation on a proportionate basis is distributed as follows: power authorities (32%), distribution companies (24%), commercial & industrial users (33%) and Brookfield (11%).

PART 5 – LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CAPITALIZATION
A key element of our financing strategy is to raise the majority of our debt in the form of asset-specific, non-recourse borrowings at our subsidiaries on an investment-grade basis with no maintenance covenants. Substantially all of our debt is either investment grade rated or sized to investment grade and approximately 89% of debt is project level.
The following table summarizes our capitalization:

We operate with sufficient liquidity to enable us to fund growth initiatives, capital expenditures, distributions or other expenditures and withstand sudden adverse changes in economic circumstances or short-term fluctuations in generation. We maintain a strong, investment grade balance sheet characterized by a conservative capital structure, access to multiple funding levers including a focus on capital recycling on an opportunistic basis, and diverse sources of capital. Principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, our credit facilities, up-financings on non-recourse borrowings and proceeds from the issuance of various securities through public markets.

(2)Medium term and Hybrid notes are unsecured and guaranteed by Brookfield Renewable and excludes $23 million (2025: $23 million) of deferred financing fees, net of unamortized premiums and discounts.
We remain focused on refinancing near-term facilities on acceptable terms and maintaining a manageable maturity ladder. We do not anticipate material issues in refinancing our borrowings through 2030 on acceptable terms and will do so opportunistically based on the prevailing interest rate environment.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
We fund growth capital expenditures with cash flow generated from operations, supplemented by non-recourse debt sized to investment grade coverage and covenant thresholds. This is designed to ensure that our investments have stable capital structures supported by a substantial level of equity and that cash flows at the asset level can be remitted freely to our company. This strategy also underpins our investment grade profile.
To fund large scale development projects and acquisitions, we will evaluate a variety of capital sources including proceeds from selling mature businesses, in addition to raising money in the capital markets through equity, debt and preferred share issuances. Furthermore, we have $2.5 billion of committed revolving credit facilities available for investments and acquisitions, as well as funding the equity component of organic growth initiatives. The facilities are intended, and have historically been used, as a bridge to a long-term financing strategy rather than a permanent source of capital.

PART 7 – CRITICAL ESTIMATES, ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS
CRITICAL ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS, which require the use of estimates and judgments in reporting assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and contingencies. In the judgment of management, none of the estimates outlined in Note 1 – Basis of preparation and material accounting policy information in our audited consolidated financial statements are considered critical accounting estimates as defined in Canadian National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations with the exception of the estimates related to the valuation of property, plant and equipment, financial instruments, deferred income tax liabilities, decommissioning liabilities and impairment of goodwill. These assumptions include estimates of future electricity prices, discount rates, expected long-term average generation, inflation rates, terminal year, the amount and timing of operating and capital costs, forecasted development MWs per annum, future leverage assumptions, and the income tax rates of future income tax provisions. Estimates also include determination of accruals, provisions, purchase price allocations, useful lives, asset valuations, asset impairment testing and those relevant to the defined benefit pension and non-pension benefit plans. Estimates are based on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
In making estimates, management relies on external information and observable conditions where possible, supplemented by internal analysis, as required. These estimates have been applied in a manner consistent with that in the prior year and there are no known trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that we believe will materially affect the methodology or assumptions utilized in this report. These estimates are impacted by, among other things, future power prices, movements in interest rates, foreign exchange volatility and other factors, some of which are highly uncertain, as described in the “Risk Factors” section included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F. The interrelated nature of these factors prevents us from quantifying the overall impact of these movements on Brookfield Renewable’s financial statements in a meaningful way. These sources of estimation uncertainty relate in varying degrees to substantially all asset and liability account balances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) and IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”) - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
The amendments clarify the requirements for the timing of recognition and derecognition of financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system, add further guidance for assessing the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets with contingent features, and adds new or amended disclosures relating to investments in equity instruments designated at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income “FVOCI” and financial instruments with contingent features. The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Brookfield Renewable has assessed the impact of these amendments and have noted no material impact.
Amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) and IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”) - Contracts Referencing Nature-Dependent Electricity
The amendments apply only to contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity and clarify the application of the “own-use” requirements, the use of hedge accounting, and adds new disclosure requirements around the effect of these contracts on the partnership’s financial performance and cash flows. The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Brookfield Renewable has assessed the impact of these amendments and have noted no material impact.
FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”)
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 18 is expected to improve the quality of financial reporting by requiring defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, requiring disclosure about management-defined performance measures, and adding new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. Brookfield Renewable is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.

| Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. | Interim Report | March 31, 2026 |
| | Page 35 |
There are currently no other future changes to IFRS Accounting Standards with a potential material impact on Brookfield Renewable.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
No changes were made in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to the quarter, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, agreed to the sale of its remaining 50% interest in a 403 MW portfolio of operating hydroelectric assets in the United States for proceeds of up to $522 million ($249 million net to Brookfield Renewable). The closing of this transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.

PART 8 – PRESENTATION TO STAKEHOLDERS AND PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
PRESENTATION TO PUBLIC STAKEHOLDERS
Equity
Brookfield Renewable’s consolidated equity interests include (i) non-voting publicly traded LP units, held by public unitholders and Brookfield, (ii) BEPC exchangeable shares, held by public shareholders and Brookfield Holders, (iii) class A.2 exchangeable shares, held by Brookfield, (iv) Redeemable/Exchangeable Limited partnership units in BRELP, a holding subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable, held by Brookfield, and (v) the GP interest in BRELP, held by Brookfield.
The LP units, the BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and the Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units have the same economic attributes in all respects, except that the BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares provide the holder, and the Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units provide Brookfield, the right to request that all or a portion of such shares or units be redeemed for cash consideration. Brookfield Renewable, however, has the right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy any such redemption request related to Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units and BEPC exchangeable shares with LP units, rather than cash, on a one-for-one basis. Similarly, Brookfield Renewable has the right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy any such redemption request related to class A.2 exchangeable shares with BEPC exchangeable shares or LP units, at the election of Brookfield, rather than cash, on a on-for-one basis. The public holders of BEPC exchangeable shares, and Brookfield Holders, as holder of BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, participates in earnings and distributions on a per unit basis equivalent to the per unit participation of the LP units. Because Brookfield Renewable, at its sole discretion, has the right to settle any redemption request in respect of BEPC exchangeable shares and Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units with LP units and any redemption request in respect of class A.2 exchangeable shares with BEPC exchangeable shares or LP units, at the election of Brookfield, the BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units are classified under equity, and not as a liability.
Given the exchange feature referenced above, we are presenting LP units, BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares, Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, and GP Interest as separate components of consolidated equity. This presentation does not impact the total income (loss), per unit or share information, or total consolidated equity.
Actual and Long-term Average Generation
For assets acquired, disposed or reaching commercial operation during the year, reported generation is calculated from the acquisition, disposition or commercial operation date and is not annualized. Generation on a same store basis refers to the generation of assets that were owned during both periods presented. As it relates to Colombia only, generation includes both hydroelectric and cogeneration facilities. Distributed energy & storage includes generation from our distributed generation and pumped storage assets.
North America hydroelectric long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulation based on historical inflow data performed over a period of typically 30 years. Colombia hydroelectric long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulation based on historical inflow data performed over a period of typically 20 years. For substantially all of our hydroelectric assets in Brazil the long-term average is based on the reference amount of electricity allocated to our facilities under the market framework which levelizes generation risk across producers. Wind long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of simulated historical wind speed data performed over a period of typically 10 years. Utility-scale solar long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulation using historical irradiance levels in the locations of our projects from the last 14 to 20 years combined with actual generation data during the operational period.
We compare actual generation levels against the long-term average to highlight the impact of an important factor that affects the variability of our business results. In the short-term, we recognize that hydrology, wind and irradiance conditions will vary from one period to the next; over time however, we expect our facilities will continue to produce in line with their long-term averages, which have proven to be reliable indicators of performance.
Our risk of a generation shortfall in Brazil continues to be minimized by participation in the MRE administered by the government of Brazil. This program mitigates hydrology risk by assuring that all participants receive, at any particular point in time, an assured energy amount, irrespective of the actual volume of energy generated. The program reallocates

| | Page 37 |
energy, transferring surplus energy from those who generated an excess to those who generate less than their assured energy, up to the total generation within the pool. Periodically, low precipitation across the entire country’s system could result in a temporary reduction of generation available for sale. During these periods, we expect that a higher proportion of thermal generation would be needed to balance supply and demand in the country, potentially leading to higher overall spot market prices.
Generation from our pumped storage and cogeneration facilities in North America is highly dependent on market price conditions rather than the generating capacity of the facilities. For this reason, we do not consider a long-term average for these facilities.
Voting Agreements with Affiliates
Brookfield Renewable has entered into voting agreements with Brookfield, whereby Brookfield Renewable gained control or have significant influence over the entities that own certain renewable power and sustainable solutions investments. Brookfield Renewable has also entered into a voting agreement with its consortium partners in respect of the Colombian business and Neoen. The voting agreements provide Brookfield Renewable the authority to direct the election of the Boards of Directors of the relevant entities, among other things, and therefore provide Brookfield Renewable with control. Accordingly, Brookfield Renewable consolidates the accounts of these entities.
For entities previously controlled by Brookfield Corporation, the voting agreements entered into do not represent business combinations in accordance with IFRS 3, as all combining businesses are ultimately controlled by Brookfield Corporation both before and after the transactions were completed. Brookfield Renewable accounts for these transactions involving entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interest, which requires the presentation of pre-voting agreement financial information as if the transactions had always been in place. Refer to Note 1(s)(ii) – Critical judgments in applying accounting policies – Common control transactions in our December 31, 2025 audited consolidated financial statements for our policy on accounting for transactions under common control.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
Segment Information
Our operations are segmented by – 1) hydroelectric, 2) wind, 3) utility-scale solar, 4) distributed energy and storage (distributed generation, pumped storage and battery energy storage systems), 5) sustainable solutions (nuclear services, renewable natural gas, carbon capture and storage, recycling, cogeneration, eFuels, and power transformation), and 6) corporate. This best reflects the way in which the CODM reviews results of Brookfield Renewable.
We report our results in accordance with these segments and present prior period segmented information in a consistent manner. See Note 5 – Segmented information in our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
One of our primary business objectives is to generate stable and growing cash flows while minimizing risk for the benefit of all stakeholders. We monitor our performance in this regard through three key metrics – i) Net Income (Loss), ii) Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and iii) Funds From Operations.
It is important to highlight that Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and have limitations as analytical tools. We provide additional information below on how we determine Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations. We also provide reconciliations to Net income (loss). See “Part 4 – Financial Performance Review on Proportionate Information – Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” and “Part 6 – Selected Quarterly Information – Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures”.
Proportionate Information
Reporting to the CODM on the measures utilized to assess performance and allocate resources has been provided on a proportionate basis. Information on a proportionate basis reflects Brookfield Renewable’s share from facilities which it accounts for using consolidation and the equity method, whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or exercises significant influence or joint control over the investment, respectively. Proportionate information provides a Unitholder perspective that the CODM considers important when performing internal analyses and making strategic and operating decisions. The CODM also believes that providing proportionate information helps investors understand the impacts of decisions made by management and financial results that can be allocated to Unitholders.
| | | | | | | | |
| Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. | Interim Report | March 31, 2026 |
| | Page 38 |
Proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Tables reconciling IFRS data with data presented on a proportionate basis have been disclosed. Segment revenues, other income, direct operating costs, interest expense, current income taxes, and other are items that will differ from results presented in accordance with IFRS as these items (1) include Brookfield Renewable’s proportionate share of earnings (loss) from equity-accounted investments and its financial asset in nuclear services, which is recognized as an equity-accounted investment by Brookfield, attributable to each of the above-noted items, (2) exclude the proportionate share of earnings (loss) of consolidated investments not held by us apportioned to each of the above-noted items, and (3) other income includes but is not limited to our proportionate share of settled foreign currency and other hedges, income earned on financial assets and structured investments in sustainable solutions, monetization of tax attributes at certain development projects and realized disposition gains on non-core assets and on recently developed assets that we have monetized to reflect the economic value created from our development activities as we design, build and commercialize new renewable energy capacity and sell these assets to lower cost of capital buyers which may not otherwise be reflected in our consolidated statements of income.
The presentation of proportionate results has limitations as an analytical tool, including the following:
•The amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses; and
•Other companies may calculate proportionate results differently than we do.
Because of these limitations, our proportionate financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial statements as reported under IFRS.
Brookfield Renewable does not control those entities that have not been consolidated and as such, have been presented as equity-accounted investments in its financial statements. The presentation of the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses do not represent Brookfield Renewable’s legal claim to such items, and the removal of financial statement amounts that are attributable to non-controlling interests does not extinguish Brookfield Renewable’s legal claims or exposures to such items.
Unless the context indicates or requires otherwise, information with respect to the megawatts ("MW") attributable to Brookfield Renewable’s facilities, including development assets, is presented on a consolidated basis, including with respect to facilities whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or jointly controls the applicable facility.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income (loss) is calculated in accordance with IFRS.
Net income (loss) is an important measure of profitability, in particular because it has a standardized meaning under IFRS. The presentation of net income (loss) on an IFRS basis for our business will often lead to the recognition of a loss even though the underlying cash flows generated by the assets are supported by strong margins and stable, long-term power purchase agreements. The primary reason for this is that accounting rules require us to recognize a significantly higher level of depreciation for our assets than we are required to reinvest in the business as sustaining capital expenditures.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure used by investors to analyze the operating performance of companies.
Brookfield Renewable uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of its operations before the effects of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, management service costs, non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash income or loss from equity-accounted investments, distributions to preferred shareholders, preferred limited partnership unit holders, perpetual subordinated noteholders and other typical non-recurring items. Brookfield Renewable adjusts for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and/or are not factors used by management for evaluating operating performance. Brookfield Renewable includes other income within Adjusted EBITDA in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in the current period.
Brookfield Renewable believes that presentation of this measure will enhance an investor’s ability to evaluate its financial and operating performance on an allocable basis.
| | | | | | | | |
| Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. | Interim Report | March 31, 2026 |
| | Page 39 |
Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations is a non-IFRS measure used by investors to analyze net earnings from operations without the effects of certain volatile items that generally have no current financial impact or items not directly related to the performance of Brookfield Renewable.
Brookfield Renewable uses Funds From Operations to assess the performance of Brookfield Renewable before the effects of certain cash items (e.g. acquisition costs and other typical non-recurring cash items) and certain non-cash items (e.g. deferred income taxes, depreciation, non-cash portion of non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash gain or loss from equity-accounted investments, and other non-cash items) as these are not reflective of the performance of the underlying business. Brookfield Renewable includes other income in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in the current period. In the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Brookfield Renewable, the revaluation approach is used in accordance with IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, whereby depreciation is determined based on a revalued amount, thereby reducing comparability with peers who do not report under IFRS as issued by the IASB or who do not employ the revaluation approach to measuring property, plant and equipment. Management adds back deferred income taxes on the basis that they do not believe this item reflects the present value of the actual tax obligations that they expect Brookfield Renewable to incur over the long-term investment horizon of Brookfield Renewable.
Brookfield Renewable believes that analysis and presentation of Funds From Operations on this basis will enhance an investor’s understanding of the performance of Brookfield Renewable. Funds From Operations is not a substitute measure of performance for earnings per share and does not represent amounts available for distribution.
Funds From Operations is not a generally accepted accounting measure under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Funds From Operations used by other entities, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association of Canada (“REALPAC”) and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”). Furthermore, this measure is not used by the CODM to assess Brookfield Renewable’s liquidity.
Proportionate Debt
Proportionate debt is presented based on the proportionate share of borrowings obligations relating to the investments of Brookfield Renewable in various portfolio businesses. The proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Proportionate debt measures are provided because management believes it assists investors and analysts in estimating the overall performance and understanding the leverage pertaining specifically to Brookfield’s share of its invested capital in a given investment. When used in conjunction with Proportionate Adjusted EBITDA, proportionate debt is expected to provide useful information as to how Brookfield Renewable has financed its businesses at the asset-level. Management believes that the proportionate presentation, when read in conjunction with Brookfield Renewable’s reported results under IFRS, including consolidated debt, provides a more meaningful assessment of how the operations of Brookfield Renewable are performing and capital is being managed. The presentation of proportionate results has limitations as an analytical tool, including the following:
•Proportionate debt amounts do not represent the consolidated obligation for debt underlying a consolidated investment. If an individual project does not generate sufficient cash flows to service the entire amount of its debt payments, management may determine, in their discretion, to pay the shortfall through an equity injection to avoid defaulting on the obligation. Such a shortfall may not be apparent from or may not equal the difference between aggregate Proportionate Adjusted EBITDA for all of the portfolio investments of Brookfield Renewable and aggregate proportionate debt for all of the portfolio investments of Brookfield Renewable; and
•Other companies may calculate proportionate debt differently.
Because of these limitations, the proportionate financial information of Brookfield Renewable should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial statements of Brookfield Renewable as reported under IFRS.

joint venture partners; we do not have control over all of our operations or investments, including certain investments made through joint ventures, partnerships, consortiums or structured arrangements; some of our acquisitions may be of distressed companies, which may subject us to increased risks; a decline in the value of our investments in securities, including publicly traded securities of other companies; the separation of economic interest from control within our organizational structure; fraud, bribery, corruption, other illegal acts or inadequate or failed internal processes or systems and restrictions on foreign direct investment; our dependence on Brookfield and Brookfield’s significant influence over us; Brookfield’s election not to source acquisition opportunities for us and our lack of access to all renewable power acquisitions that Brookfield identifies, including by reason of conflicts of interest; the departure of some or all of Brookfield’s key professionals; Brookfield acting in a way that is not in our best interests or the best interests of our shareholders or our unitholders; our inability to terminate the Master Services Agreement and the limited liability of the Service Provider under our arrangements with them; Brookfield’s relationship with walled-off businesses; changes in how Brookfield elects to hold its ownership interests in Brookfield Renewable; changes in the amount of cash we can distribute to our unitholders; future sales or issuances of our securities (including upon exchange of class A.2 exchangeable shares by Brookfield) will result in dilution of existing holders and even the perception of such sales or issuances taking place could depress the trading price of the BEP units or BEPC exchangeable shares; any changes in the market price of the BEP units and BEPC exchangeable shares; the inability of our unitholders to take part in the management of BEP; limits on unitholders’ ability to obtain favourable judicial forum for disputes related to BEP or to enforce judgements against us; our reliance on subsidiaries to provide funds to pay distributions; foreign currency risk associated with BEP’s distributions; we are not subject to the same disclosure requirements as a U.S. domestic issuer; being deemed an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act; the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting; changes in tax law and practice; and other factors described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, including those set forth under Item 3.D “Risk Factors”.
We caution that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. The forward-looking statements represent our views as of the date of this report and should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this report. While we anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change, we disclaim any obligation to update the forward-looking statements, other than as required by applicable law. For further information on these known and unknown risks, please see “Risk Factors” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and other risks and factors that are described therein.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING USE OF NON-IFRS MEASURES
This report contains references to Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit which are not generally accepted accounting measures standardized under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit used by other entities. In particular, our definition of Funds From Operations may differ from the definition of funds from operations used by other organizations, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association of Canada and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”), in part because the NAREIT definition is based on U.S. GAAP, as opposed to IFRS. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit are useful supplemental measures that may assist investors in assessing our financial performance. None of Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations or Funds From Operations per Unit should be considered as the sole measure of our performance and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS measures reflect how we manage our business and, in our opinion, enable the investors and other readers to better understand our business.
Reconciliations of each of Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit to net income (loss) are presented in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis. We have also provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations to net income in Note 5 – Segmented information in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
(a) Statement of compliance
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) Accounting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), have been omitted or condensed. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Brookfield Renewable’s December 31, 2025 audited consolidated financial statements. The interim consolidated statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in the December 31, 2025 audited consolidated financial statements, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2026, refer to Note 1 (d) Recently adopted accounting standards.
The results reported in these interim consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for an entire year. The policies set out below are consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.
These consolidated financial statements have been authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of Brookfield Renewable’s general partner, BRPL, on May 1, 2026.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
References to $, C$, €, £, R$, COP, INR, CNY, KRW and A$ are to United States (“U.S.”) dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros, British pound, Brazilian reais, Colombian pesos, Indian rupees, Chinese yuan, South Korean won and Australian dollars, respectively.
All figures are presented in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
(b) Basis of preparation
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of property, plant and equipment and certain assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value. Cost is recorded based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
(c) Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries, which are the entities over which Brookfield Renewable has control. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Non-controlling interests in the equity of Brookfield Renewable’s subsidiaries are shown separately in equity in the interim consolidated statements of financial position.
(d) Recently adopted accounting standards
Amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) and IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”) - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
The amendments clarify the requirements for the timing of recognition and derecognition of financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system, add further guidance for assessing the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets with contingent features, and adds new or amended disclosures relating to investments in equity instruments designated at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income “FVOCI” and financial instruments with contingent features. The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Brookfield Renewable has assessed the impact of these amendments and have noted no material impact.
Amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) and IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”) - Contracts Referencing Nature-Dependent Electricity
The amendments apply only to contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity and clarify the application of the “own-use” requirements, the use of hedge accounting, and adds new disclosure requirements around the effect of these contracts on the partnership’s financial performance and cash flows. The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Brookfield Renewable has assessed the impact of these amendments and have noted no material impact.

(e) Future changes in accounting policies
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”)
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 18 is expected to improve the quality of financial reporting by requiring defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, requiring disclosure about management-defined performance measures, and adding new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. Brookfield Renewable is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.
There are currently no other future changes to IFRS Accounting Standards with a potential material impact on Brookfield Renewable.

4. RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
RISK MANAGEMENT
Brookfield Renewable’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk (i.e., commodity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Brookfield Renewable uses financial instruments primarily to manage these risks.
There have been no other material changes in exposure to the risks Brookfield Renewable is exposed to since the December 31, 2025 audited consolidated financial statements.
Fair value disclosures
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Fair values determined using valuation models require the use of assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates. In determining those assumptions, management looks primarily to external readily observable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves, currency rates, commodity prices and, as applicable, credit spreads.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset is the consideration that would be received in an orderly transaction between market participants, considering the highest and best use of the asset.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels, described below. Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities.
Level 1 – inputs are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 – inputs, other than quoted prices in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

5. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
Brookfield Renewable’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the chief operating decision maker or “CODM”) review the results of the business, manage operations, and allocate resources based on the type of technology.
Brookfield Renewable operations are segmented by – 1) hydroelectric, 2) wind, 3) utility-scale solar, 4) distributed energy and storage (distributed generation, pumped storage and battery energy storage systems), 5) sustainable solutions (nuclear services, renewable natural gas, carbon capture and storage, recycling, cogeneration, eFuels and power transformation), and 6) corporate - with hydroelectric further segmented by geography (i.e., North America, Colombia, and Brazil). This best reflects the way in which the CODM reviews results of Brookfield Renewable.
Reporting to the CODM on the measures utilized to assess performance and allocate resources is provided on a proportionate basis. Information on a proportionate basis reflects Brookfield Renewable’s share from facilities which it accounts for using consolidation and the equity method whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or exercises significant influence or joint control over the investment, respectively. Proportionate information provides a Unitholder (holders of the GP interest, Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and LP units) perspective that the CODM considers important when performing internal analyses and
| | | | | | | | |
| Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. | Interim Report | March 31, 2026 |
| | Page 56 |
making strategic and operating decisions. The CODM also believes that providing proportionate information helps investors understand the impacts of decisions made by management and financial results allocable to Brookfield Renewable’s Unitholders.
Proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Tables reconciling IFRS data with data presented on a proportionate consolidation basis have been disclosed. Segment revenues, other income, direct operating costs, interest expense, current income taxes, and other are items that will differ from results presented in accordance with IFRS as these items (1) include Brookfield Renewable’s proportionate share of earnings from equity-accounted investments and its financial asset in nuclear services, which is recognized as an equity-accounted investment by Brookfield, attributable to each of the above-noted items, (2) exclude the proportionate share of earnings (loss) of consolidated investments not held by us apportioned to each of the above-noted items, and (3) other income includes items that are considered within Brookfield Renewable’s measure of return on invested capital, including but not limited to our proportionate share of settled foreign currency and other hedges, income earned on financial assets and structured investments in sustainable solutions, monetization of tax attributes at certain development projects and realized disposition gains on non-core assets and on recently developed assets that we have monetized to reflect the economic value created from our development activities as we design, build and commercialize new renewable energy capacity and sell these assets to lower cost of capital buyers which may not otherwise be reflected in our consolidated statements of income.
Brookfield Renewable does not control those entities that have not been consolidated and as such, have been presented as equity-accounted investments in its consolidated financial statements. The presentation of the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses does not represent Brookfield Renewable’s legal claim to such items, and the removal of financial statement amounts that are attributable to non-controlling interests does not extinguish Brookfield Renewable’s legal claims or exposures to such items.
Brookfield Renewable reports its results in accordance with these segments and presents prior period segmented information in a consistent manner.
Brookfield Renewable uses Funds From Operations (“FFO”) to assess the performance of Brookfield Renewable before the effects of certain cash items (e.g., acquisition costs and other typical non-recurring cash items) and certain non-cash items (e.g., deferred income taxes, depreciation, non-cash portion of non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash gain or loss from equity-accounted investments, and other non-cash items) as these are not reflective of the performance of the underlying business, and including monetization of tax attributes at certain development projects. Brookfield Renewable includes realized disposition gains and losses on assets that we developed and/or did not intend to hold over the long-term within FFO in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in current period net income.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 – Basis of preparation and material accounting policy information. Brookfield Renewable analyzes the performance of its operating segments based on FFO. FFO is not a generally accepted accounting measure under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of FFO used by other entities, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association of Canada (“REALPAC”) and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”).

Medium-term notes and Hybrid notes
Corporate borrowings are obligations of a finance subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable, Brookfield Renewable Partners ULC (“Canadian Finco”) (Note 20 – Subsidiary public issuers). Canadian Finco may redeem some or all of the borrowings from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the indenture. The balance is payable upon maturity, and interest on corporate borrowings is paid semi-annually. The term notes payable by Canadian Finco are unconditionally guaranteed by Brookfield Renewable, Brookfield Renewable Energy L.P. (“BRELP”) and certain other subsidiaries.
During the first quarter of 2026, Brookfield Renewable issued C$500 million of Series 20 medium-term notes. The medium-term notes have a fixed interest rate of 5.20% and a maturity date of January 15, 2056. The Series 20 medium-term notes are corporate-level green bonds.
Non-recourse borrowings

Non-recourse borrowings in Colombia consist of both fixed and floating interest rates indexed to Indicador Bancario de Referencia rate (“IBR”), the Banco Central de Colombia short-term interest rate, and Colombian Consumer Price Index (“IPC”), Colombia inflation rate, plus a margin. Non-Recourse borrowings in India consist of both fixed and floating interest indexed to Prime lending rate of lender (“MCLR”). Non-recourse borrowings in China consist of floating interest rates of People's Bank of China (“PBOC”).

The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units and the GP interest are held 100% by Brookfield, the BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares are held 25% by Brookfield Holders, with the remainder held by public shareholders. The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares provide the holder, at its discretion, with the right to redeem these units or shares, respectively, for cash consideration. Since this redemption right is subject to Brookfield Renewable’s right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy the redemption request with LP units of Brookfield Renewable, or in the case of class A.2 exchangeable shares, BEPC exchangeable shares or LP units, at the election of Brookfield, rather than cash, on a one-for-one basis, the Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares are classified as equity in accordance with IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation. Refer to Note 19 - Related party transactions for more details.
The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and the GP interest are presented as non-controlling interests since they relate to equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to Brookfield Renewable. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, exchangeable shareholders of BEPC exchanged nil BEPC exchangeable shares (2025: 35,313 BEPC exchangeable shares) for an equivalent number of LP units amounting to nil (2025: less than $1 million). No Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units or class A.2 exchangeable shares have been redeemed.
The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units issued by BRELP, the BEPC exchangeable shares issued by BEPC and the class A.2 exchangeable shares issued by BRHC have the same economic attributes in all respects to the LP units issued by Brookfield Renewable, except for the redemption rights described above. The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and the GP interest, excluding incentive distributions, participate in earnings and distributions on a per unit basis equivalent to the per unit participation of the LP units of Brookfield Renewable.
As at March 31, 2026, Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares on a combined basis and units of GP interest outstanding were 194,487,939 units (December 31, 2025: 194,487,939 units), 182,381,589 shares (December 31, 2025: 179,604,793 shares), and 3,977,260 units (December 31, 2025: 3,977,260 units), respectively.
During the first quarter of 2026, Brookfield Renewable established an at-the-market (“ATM”) equity program under which it may, at its discretion, offer and sell up to $400 million of BEPC exchangeable shares directly from treasury. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, 2,776,796 BEPC exchangeable shares were issued for gross proceeds of approximately $115 million.
In December 2025, Brookfield Renewable renewed its normal course issuer bid in connection with its outstanding BEPC exchangeable shares. Brookfield Renewable is authorized to repurchase up to 7,244,255 BEPC exchangeable shares, representing 5% of its issued and outstanding BEPC exchangeable shares. The bid will expire on December 17, 2026, or earlier should Brookfield Renewable complete its repurchases prior to such date. There were no BEPC exchangeable shares repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

An integral part of Brookfield Renewable’s strategy is to participate with institutional partners in Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds that target acquisitions that suit Brookfield Renewable’s profile. In the normal course of business, Brookfield Renewable has made commitments to Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds to participate in these target acquisitions in the future, if and when identified. From time to time, in order to facilitate investment activities in a timely and efficient manner, Brookfield Renewable will fund deposits or incur other costs and expenses (including by use of loan facilities to consummate, support, guarantee or issue letters of credit) in respect of an investment that ultimately will be shared with or made entirely by Brookfield sponsored vehicles, consortiums and/or partnerships (including private funds, joint ventures and similar arrangements), Brookfield Renewable, or by co-investors.
Contingencies
Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings, arbitrations and actions arising in the normal course of business. While the final outcome of such legal proceedings and actions cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of such proceedings and actions will not have a material impact on Brookfield Renewable’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Brookfield Renewable, on behalf of Brookfield Renewable’s subsidiaries, and the subsidiaries themselves have provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance. The activity on the issued letters of credit by Brookfield Renewable can be found in Note 8 – Borrowings.
Brookfield Renewable, along with institutional partners, has provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance as it relates to interests in the Brookfield Americas Infrastructure Fund, the Brookfield Infrastructure Fund II, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund III, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund IV, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund V, Brookfield Global Transition Fund I, Brookfield Global Transition Fund II and The Catalytic Transition Fund. Brookfield Renewable’s subsidiaries have similarly provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance.
Letters of credit issued by Brookfield Renewable along with institutional partners and its subsidiaries were as at the following dates:

Guarantees
In the normal course of operations, Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries execute agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to third-parties and Brookfield Corporation, of transactions such as business dispositions, capital project purchases, business acquisitions, power marketing activities such as purchase and sale agreements, swap agreements, credit facilities of certain Brookfield private funds and that are also secured by committed capital of our third-party institutional partners, and sales and purchases of assets and services. Brookfield Renewable has also agreed to indemnify its directors and certain of its officers and employees. The nature of substantially all of the indemnification undertakings prevents Brookfield Renewable from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount that Brookfield Renewable could be required to pay third parties as the agreements do not always specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. Historically, neither Brookfield Renewable nor its subsidiaries have made material payments under such indemnification agreements.
19. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Brookfield Renewable’s related party transactions are recorded at the exchange amount and are primarily with Brookfield and its related parties.
Brookfield Corporation has provided a $400 million committed unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in December 2030 and the draws bear interest at Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a margin of 1.80%. During the current period, there were no draws on the committed unsecured revolving credit facility provided by Brookfield Corporation.
Brookfield Corporation may from time to time place funds on deposit with Brookfield Renewable, which are repayable on demand including any interest accrued.
