Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
| | | | | | | | |
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 |
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; (ii) the impact of market conditions, particularly with respect to wholesale sales at UNS Energy; (iii) changes in the U.S. dollar-to-Canadian dollar exchange rate; and (iv) the timing and significance of regulatory decisions. Earnings for utilities in Canada and New York tend to be highest in the first and fourth quarters due to space-heating requirements. Earnings for UNS Energy 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 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. ("UNS Electric") and UNS Gas, Inc. ("UNS Gas").
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
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. Consists of non-regulated holding company expenses, as well as non-regulated long-term contracted generation assets in Belize.
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 ("2024 Annual Financial Statements"). A summary of significant outstanding regulatory matters follows.
ITC
MISO Base ROE: In October 2024, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") issued an order that revised the base rate of return on common equity ("ROE") for transmission owners operating in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc. ("MISO") region, including ITC, from 10.02% to 9.98%, with a maximum ROE inclusive of incentives not to exceed 12.58%. The order also directed the payment of certain refunds, with interest, by December 2025, for the 15-month period from November 2013 through February 2015, and prospectively from September 2016. Certain MISO transmission owners, including ITC, filed a request for rehearing with FERC in November 2024, and filed an appeal of the order with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ("D.C. Circuit Court") in January 2025, with particular focus on the refund period and related interest. In March 2025, FERC addressed the request for rehearing but made no changes to the order. The timing and outcome of the appeal filed with the D.C. Circuit Court are 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 are unknown.

2. REGULATORY MATTERS (cont'd)
UNS Energy
TEP General Rate Application: In June 2025, TEP filed a general rate application with the Arizona Corporation Commission ("ACC") requesting new rates effective September 1, 2026 using a December 31, 2024 test year, with post-test year adjustments through June 30, 2025. The application requests an allowed ROE of 10.5%, a common equity component of capital structure of approximately 55%, and rate base of US$4.3 billion. The application includes a US$172 million net increase in retail revenue including savings associated with fuel costs. It also proposes to phase-out or eliminate certain adjustor mechanisms, and requests an annual formulaic rate adjustment mechanism consistent with the ACC's approval of a formula rate policy statement in 2024.
UNS Gas General Rate Application: In November 2024, UNS Gas filed a general rate application with the ACC requesting an increase in gas delivery rates effective February 1, 2026. In January 2025, UNS Gas filed supplemental material proposing an annual formulaic rate adjustment mechanism. The outcome of this proceeding is unknown.
Central Hudson
2025 General Rate Application: In August 2024, Central Hudson filed a general rate application with the New York State Public Service Commission ("PSC") requesting an increase in electric and gas delivery rates effective July 1, 2025. In May 2025, Central Hudson filed a joint proposal with the PSC, which provides for a three-year rate plan with retroactive application to July 1, 2025, and continuation of a 9.5% allowed ROE and a 48% common equity component of capital structure. An order is expected in the second half of 2025.
Enforcement Proceeding: Following a Show Cause Order issued in 2024, the PSC issued an order in March 2025 to commence an enforcement proceeding in connection with a gas-related explosion that occurred in November 2023. The timing and outcome of this proceeding are unknown.
FortisBC Energy and FortisBC Electric
2025-2027 Rate Framework: In March 2025, the British Columbia Utilities Commission issued a decision on FortisBC's application with respect to the rate framework for 2025 through 2027. The rate framework builds upon the previous multi-year rate plan and includes, amongst other items, updates to depreciation and capitalized overhead rates, a revised level of operation and maintenance expense per customer indexed for inflation less a fixed productivity adjustment factor, a similar approach to growth capital, a forecast approach to sustaining and other capital, continued collection of an innovation fund recognizing the need to accelerate investment in clean energy innovation, and the continued sharing with customers of variances from the allowed ROE. The rate framework also includes the continuation of deferral mechanisms included in the previous multi-year rate plan.
FortisAlberta
Generic Cost of Capital ("GCOC") Decision: FortisAlberta filed an appeal with respect to the Alberta Utilities Commission's ("AUC") decision on the 2024 GCOC proceeding based on FortisAlberta's business and regulatory risks associated with Rural Electrification Associations located in its service area. In March 2025, the Court of Appeal of Alberta ("Court of Appeal") dismissed the appeal.
Third Performance-based Rate-setting ("PBR") Term Decision: In 2023, the AUC issued a decision establishing the parameters for the third PBR term for the period of 2024 through 2028. FortisAlberta sought permission to appeal the decision to the Court of Appeal on the basis that the AUC erred in its decision to determine capital funding using 2018-2022 historical capital investments without consideration for funding of new capital programs included in the company's 2023 cost of service revenue requirement as approved by the AUC. In March 2025, the Court of Appeal granted FortisAlberta permission to appeal, and a decision is expected in the first quarter of 2026.
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.
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 2024 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 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. The accounting policies applied herein are consistent with those outlined in the Corporation's 2024 Annual Financial Statements, except as described below.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
New Accounting Policy
Income Taxes: The Corporation adopted ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, effective January 1, 2025. The ASU requires additional disclosure of income tax information by jurisdiction to reflect an entity's exposure to potential changes in tax legislation, and associated risks and opportunities. The guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The updated disclosure will be reflected in the Corporation's annual consolidated financial statements. Fortis does not expect the ASU to materially impact its disclosures.
Future Accounting Pronouncement
Expense Disaggregation: ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, is effective for Fortis on January 1, 2027 for annual periods and on January 1, 2028 for interim periods, on a prospective basis, with retrospective application and early adoption permitted. The ASU requires detailed disclosure of certain expense categories included on the consolidated statements of earnings, including energy supply costs, operating expenses, and depreciation and amortization expense. Fortis is assessing the impact on its disclosures.
4. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
Fortis' President and Chief Executive Officer is considered the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") for purposes of reviewing segment performance. Fortis segments its business based on regulatory jurisdiction and service territory, as well as the information used by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources. Segment performance is evaluated principally on net earnings attributable to common equity shareholders, and this measure is used consistently in the evaluation of actual segment performance as well as in the Corporation’s business plan and forecasting processes.
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, 2025 and 2024.
As of June 30, 2025, accounts receivable included $27 million due from Belize Electricity (December 31, 2024 - $18 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no material inter-segment loans outstanding. Interest charged on inter-segment loans was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

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.
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.

13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont'd)
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 price 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, 2025, unrealized losses of $119 million (December 31, 2024 - $175 million) were recognized as regulatory assets and unrealized gains of $49 million (December 31, 2024 - $41 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. Gains or losses associated with changes in the fair value of these energy contracts are recognized in revenue. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, gains of $1 million and $32 million were recognized in revenue, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2024 - gains of $nil million and $36 million, respectively).
Total Return Swaps
The Corporation holds total return swaps to manage the cash flow risk associated with forecast future cash and/or share settlements of certain stock-based compensation obligations. The swaps have a combined notional amount of $136 million and terms up to three years expiring at varying dates through January 2028. 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, 2025, unrealized losses of $1 million and unrealized gains of $9 million, respectively were recognized in other income, net (three and six months ended June 30, 2024 - unrealized losses of $1 million and $4 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 September 2027 and have a combined notional amount of US$449 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, 2025, unrealized gains of $18 million and $19 million, respectively were recognized in other income, net (three and six months ended June 30, 2024 - unrealized losses of $2 million and $5 million, respectively).
Interest Rate Contracts
ITC has entered into 5-year interest rate swap contracts with a combined notional value of US$560 million which will be used to manage interest rate risk associated with forecasted debt issuances. Fair value was measured using a discounted cash flow method based on secured overnight financing rates ("SOFR"). Unrealized gains and losses associated with the 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 losses of US$4 million and US$8 million were recorded in other comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 (three and six months ended June 30, 2024 - realized losses of US$3 million).
Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swaps
The Corporation holds cross-currency interest rate swaps, maturing in 2029, to effectively convert its $500 million, 4.43% unsecured senior notes to US$391 million, 4.34% debt. The Corporation has 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 foreign 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 SOFR. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, unrealized gains of $21 million and $17 million, respectively were recorded in other comprehensive income (three and six months ended June 30, 2024 - unrealized losses of $2 million and $15 million, respectively).

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 65% 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 its 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 since the suspension of collection efforts initially required in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Central Hudson continues to contact customers regarding past-due balances and collection efforts continue to expand. Under its regulatory framework, Central Hudson can defer uncollectible write-offs above the amounts collected in customer rates for future recovery.
UNS Energy, Central Hudson, FortisBC Energy, and Fortis may be exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative contracts. 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.
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 $73 million as at June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - $117 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, 2025, US$2.2 billion (December 31, 2024 - US$2.2 billion) of corporately issued U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt has been designated as an effective hedge of net investments, leaving approximately US$12.8 billion (December 31, 2024 - US$12.6 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, 2025, the carrying value of long-term debt, including current portion, was $33.3 billion (December 31, 2024 - $33.4 billion) compared to an estimated fair value of $31.4 billion (December 31, 2024 - $31.3 billion).

In May 2025, UNS Electric entered into a US$233 million Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Agreement for the development of four gas engine turbines at Black Mountain Generating Station, which are expected to be placed in service in 2028.
Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2025, TEP entered into an agreement to serve a data center expected to be located in TEP's service territory. The agreement, requiring potential power demand of approximately 300 MW, is subject to approval by the ACC and other contractual contingencies. The initial phase of the data center is expected to be operational as early as 2027, with a ramp schedule through 2029. TEP currently expects to serve this customer from its existing and planned capacity, including solar and battery storage projects currently in development.
