MARCH 31, 2026 QUARTER REPORT
5
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Nature of Operations
Fortis Inc. ("Fortis" or the "Corporation") is a 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 long-term wholesale sales at UNS Energy; (iii) the timing and significance of any regulatory decisions; and (iv) changes in the U.S. dollar-to-Canadian dollar exchange rate. Earnings for the 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; and an approximate 60% controlling interest in Caribbean Utilities Company, Ltd. ("Caribbean Utilities"). Also included FortisTCI Limited and Turks and Caicos Utilities Limited (collectively, "FortisTCI") until the September 2, 2025 date of disposition and the 33% equity investment in Belize Electricity Limited ("Belize Electricity") until the October 31, 2025 date of disposition (Note 10).
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, and included non-regulated long-term contracted generation assets in Belize until the October 31, 2025 date of disposition (Note 10).
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 ("2025 Annual Financial Statements"). A summary of significant outstanding regulatory matters follows.
ITC
Transmission Incentives: In 2021, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("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") return on common equity ("ROE") incentive adder for RTO members that have been members for longer than three years. The timing and outcome of this proceeding are unknown.
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 includes a proposal 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.
The Residential Utility Consumer Office has challenged the ACC's authority to implement a formula rate framework through a policy statement, and in November 2025, the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled that the Residential Utility Consumer Office may proceed with its challenge. The timing and outcome of these regulatory and legal proceedings are unknown. The ACC has previously approved adjustor mechanisms, including formula-based mechanisms, in rate cases.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
2. REGULATORY MATTERS (cont'd)
UNS Gas General Rate Application: In February 2026, the ACC issued an order approving an allowed ROE of 9.61% and a 56% common equity component of capital structure. The order also approved an annual formulaic rate adjustment mechanism including a range of +/- 50 basis points around the allowed ROE and the inclusion of post-test year adjustments. New rates became effective March 1, 2026.
FortisAlberta
Third Performance-based Rate-setting ("PBR") Term Decision: In 2023, the Alberta Utilities Commission ("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 of Alberta ("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, which was heard in January 2026. A decision is expected in the third quarter of 2026.
Depreciation Study: In December 2025, FortisAlberta applied to the AUC for approval of a depreciation study. A negotiated settlement agreement was reached with intervenors in March 2026 and filed for approval with the AUC on April 1, 2026. As a result of the negotiated settlement agreement and the corresponding update to FortisAlberta's depreciation rates, a regulatory liability of approximately $130 million has been estimated, subject to AUC approval which is expected in the third quarter of 2026. The settlement of the liability will be addressed in a future rate application.
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 2025 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 2025 Annual Financial Statements.
Future Accounting Pronouncements
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.
Internal-Use Software: ASU No. 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, is effective for Fortis on January 1, 2028. The ASU may be adopted prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified transition approach, and early adoption is permitted. The ASU removes references to development stages and requires capitalization of software costs once funding is authorized and project completion is probable, including assessment of whether significant development uncertainty exists. The guidance also clarifies that all capitalized internal-use software costs must follow the disclosure requirements in Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment. Fortis is assessing the impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
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 months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no material inter-segment loans outstanding. Interest charged on inter-segment loans was not material for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

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, gas supply contracts and gas swap contracts to reduce its exposure to energy price risk. Fair values are measured primarily under the market approach using independent third-party information, where possible. When published prices are not available, adjustments are applied based on historical price curve relationships, transmission costs and line losses.
Central Hudson holds swap contracts for electricity and natural gas to minimize price volatility by fixing the effective purchase price. Fair values are measured using forward pricing provided by independent third-party information.
FortisBC Energy holds gas supply contracts to fix the effective purchase price of natural gas. Fair values reflect the present value of future cash flows based on published market prices and forward natural gas 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 March 31, 2026, unrealized losses of $204 million (December 31, 2025 - $135 million) were recognized as regulatory assets and unrealized gains of $18 million (December 31, 2025 - $37 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 months ended March 31, 2026, gains of $22 million were recognized in revenue (three months ended March 31, 2025 - $31 million).
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 $92 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 months ended March 31, 2026, gains of $11 million were recognized in other income, net (three months ended March 31, 2025 - $10 million).
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 June 2028 and have a combined notional amount of US$520 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 months ended March 31, 2026, losses of $5 million were recognized in other income, net (three months ended March 31, 2025 - gains of $1 million).

Interest Rate Contracts
ITC has entered into five-year interest rate swap contracts with a combined notional value of US$100 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 are expected to be reclassified to earnings as a component of interest expense over the first 5 years of the related debt. Unrealized gains of US$1 million were recorded in other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (three months ended March 31, 2025 - $nil).
During the first quarter of 2026, ITC settled interest rate swap contracts with a combined notional value of US$705 million. Realized gains of US$4 million were recognized in other comprehensive income, which will be reclassified to earnings as a component of interest expense over 5 years.
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 months ended March 31, 2026, unrealized losses of $8 million were recorded in other comprehensive income (three months ended March 31, 2025 - $4 million).

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 the Midcontinent Independent System Operator 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 are ongoing. Under its regulatory framework, Central Hudson can defer uncollectible write-offs above the amounts collected in customer rates for future recovery.
ITC, 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 $134 million as at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - $99 million).

13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont'd)
Hedge of Foreign Net Investments
The reporting currency of ITC, UNS Energy, Central Hudson, and Caribbean Utilities is 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 March 31, 2026, US$1.8 billion (December 31, 2025 - US$1.9 billion) of corporately issued U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt has been designated as an effective hedge of net investments, leaving approximately US$13.4 billion (December 31, 2025 - US$13.2 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 March 31, 2026, the carrying value of long-term debt, including current portion, was $34.7 billion (December 31, 2025 - $34.1 billion) compared to an estimated fair value of $32.5 billion (December 31, 2025 - $32.3 billion).
14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
There were no material changes in commitments from that disclosed in the Corporation's 2025 Annual Financial Statements, except as detailed below.
In April 2026, TEP entered into a 20-year gas transportation precedent agreement and amended a previously signed 25-year gas transportation precedent agreement. The agreements support the development of new pipelines, expected to be in service in 2029, which will be owned and operated by third-parties. The purchase commitments are expected to begin in 2029, and are estimated to be US$1.0 billion over the 20-year agreement and an incremental US$1.1 billion over the 25-year agreement. The purchase commitments are conditional on the construction and commercial operation of the new pipelines.
In March 2026, UNS Electric signed a 20-year renewable power purchase agreement for US$279 million of solar energy, pending commercial operation which is expected in 2028.
Contingency
In November 2023, an explosion and fire occurred at a residence located in Wappingers Falls, New York, while a contractor was performing work on Central Hudson’s natural gas infrastructure adjacent to the residence. Civil actions seeking damages for bodily injuries, property damage and punitive damages remain pending. Central Hudson has recorded US$50 million of potential liability arising from the lawsuits as of March 31, 2026, and has recorded an insurance receivable in the same amount as it believes its insurance will satisfy its liability arising from the incident and related lawsuits. Based on the facts currently known, management believes the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Corporation.
