1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION 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 the company’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 interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the company on May 1, 2026.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
References to $, C$, €, £, R$, and COP are to United States (“U.S.”) dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros, British pound, Brazilian reais, and Colombian pesos, respectively.
All figures are presented in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
(b) Basis of presentation
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 interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its subsidiaries, which are the entities over which the company 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 the company’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. The company 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 company 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. The company 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. The company 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 the company.

4. RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
RISK MANAGEMENT
The company’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. The company uses financial instruments primarily to manage these risks.
There have been no other material changes in exposure to the risks the company 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
The company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the chief operating decision maker or “CODM”) review the results of the operations, manage the operations, and allocate resources based on the type of technology, in conjunction with other segments of Brookfield Renewable.
The operations of the company are segmented by – 1) hydroelectric (hydroelectric, pumped storage and other sustainable solutions), 2) wind, 3) solar (utility-scale solar and distributed generation) and 4) corporate. This best reflects the way in which the CODM reviews the results of the company.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the company completed the sale of a 700 MW portfolio of distributed generation assets in the United States, that represented substantially all of the assets within the Distributed Energy & Sustainable Solutions segment. Accordingly, the Distributed Energy & Sustainable Solutions segment is no longer presented as a separate reportable segment in the current period. Prior period comparative information for our distributed generation business has been reclassified to reflect this change, with results previously reported in the Distributed Energy & Sustainable Solutions segment now included within the Solar segment, to conform to the current period presentation. The remaining assets of the Distributed Energy & Sustainable Solutions segment, which are compromised of a pumped storage business, alongside other sustainable solutions operations, have been presented within the hydroelectric segment for the current and prior periods.
In accordance with IFRS 8, Operating Segments, the company discloses information about its reportable segments based upon the measures used by the CODM in assessing performance. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 – Basis of presentation and material accounting policy information.
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 the company’s share from facilities which it accounts for using consolidation and the equity method whereby the company either controls or exercises significant influence or joint control over the investment, respectively. Proportionate information provides shareholders 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 allocable to the company’s shareholders.
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 below. 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 the company’s proportionate share of earnings from equity-accounted investments attributable to each of the above-noted items, (2) exclude the proportionate share of earnings (loss) of consolidated investments not held by the company apportioned to each of the above-noted items, and (3) other income includes items that are considered within the company’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 (loss).
The company uses Funds From Operations “FFO” to assess the performance of the company 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. The
| | | | | | | | |
| Brookfield Renewable Corporation | Q1 2026 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes | March 31, 2026 |
| | Page 13 |
company 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 company 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 the company’s legal claim to such items, and the removal of financial statement amounts that are attributable to non-controlling interests does not extinguish the company’s legal claims or exposures to such items.
The company reports its results in accordance with these segments and presents prior period segmented information in a consistent manner.
The company 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”).

6. INCOME TAXES
The company's effective income tax rate was 0.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (2025: 350.0%). The effective tax rate is different than the statutory rate primarily due to the non-deductible remeasurement of exchangeable shares and dividends presented as interest expense, rate differentials, changes in tax assets not recognized and non-controlling interest income not subject to tax.

8. BORROWINGS
Non-recourse borrowings
Non-recourse borrowings are typically asset-specific, long-term, non-recourse borrowings denominated in the domestic currency of the subsidiary. Non-recourse borrowings in North America and Europe consist of both fixed and floating interest rate debt indexed to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), the Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”), the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) and the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”). Brookfield Renewable uses interest rate swap agreements in North America and Europe to minimize its exposure to floating interest rates. Non-recourse borrowings in Brazil consist of floating interest rates of Taxa de Juros de Longo Prazo (“TJLP”), the Brazil National Bank for Economic Development’s long-term interest rate, or Interbank Deposit Certificate rate (“CDI”), plus a margin. 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.

10. BEPC EXCHANGEABLE SHARES, BRHC EXCHANGEABLE SHARES, CLASS A.2 EXCHANGEABLE SHARES, BRHC CLASS B SHARES AND BRHC CLASS C SHARES
The BEPC exchangeable shares, BRHC class B shares, BRHC class C shares and class A.2 exchangeable non-voting shares of BRHC (“class A.2 exchangeable shares”) are classified as liabilities due to their exchange and cash redemption features. However, BEPC class B shares, the most subordinated class of all common shares, meet certain qualifying criteria and are presented as equity instruments given the narrow scope presentation exceptions existing in IAS 32. There are 43,661 BEPC class B shares issued and outstanding as at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025: 43,661).
BEPC exchangeable shares provide the holder, at its discretion, with the right to redeem these shares in exchange for either a BEP unit on a one-for-one basis or its cash equivalent, at the discretion of BEPC.
BRHC class B and BRHC class C shares provide Brookfield, at its discretion, with the right to redeem these shares in exchange for either a BEP unit on a one-for-one basis or its cash equivalent, at the discretion of BEPC.
The class A.2 exchangeable shares provide Brookfield, at its discretion, with the right to redeem these shares in exchange for BEPC exchangeable shares (subject to an ownership cap that limits the exchange by Brookfield of class A.2 exchangeable shares such that exchanges by Brookfield may not result in Brookfield owning 9.5% or more of the aggregate fair market value of all issued and outstanding shares of BEPC) or BEP units on a one-for-one basis. BEPC, however, has the right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy any such redemption request at its cash equivalent.
As at March 31, 2026, the BEPC exchangeable shares, BRHC class B shares, and BRHC class C shares were remeasured to $32.64 per share to reflect the NYSE closing price of a BEP unit. The class A.2 exchangeable shares up to the ownership cap were remeasured to $39.83 per share and the remaining shares were remeasured to $32.64 per share to reflect the NYSE closing price of a BEPC share and a BEP unit respectively. Remeasurement gains or losses associated with these shares are recorded in the interim consolidated statements of income (loss).
As at March 31, 2026, Brookfield Holders held a direct and indirect interest of approximately 25% of the company. Brookfield Holders own, directly and indirectly, 10,094,152 BEPC exchangeable shares and 34,719,683 class A.2 exchangeable shares on a combined basis and the remaining BEPC exchangeable shares are held by public investors.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, nil BEPC exchangeable shares were exchanged for an equal number of BEP LP units resulting in no change to the BEPC exchangeable and class A.2 exchangeable shares financial liability (2025: 35,313 of BEPC exchangeable shares resulting in a decrease of less than $1 million). During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the company declared dividends $71 million (2025: $68 million) on its outstanding BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares and nil (2025: $95 million) on its outstanding BRHC class C shares. Dividends on BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and BRHC class C shares are presented as interest expense in the interim consolidated statements of income (loss).
During the first quarter of 2026, the company 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, the company renewed its normal course issuer bid for its outstanding BEPC exchangeable shares. The company is authorized to repurchase up to 7,244,255 BEPC exchangeable shares, representing 5% of its issued and outstanding BEPC exchangeable shares. The bids will expire on December 17, 2026, or earlier should the company complete its repurchases prior to such date. There were no BEPC exchangeable shares repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Commitments
In the course of its operations, the company has entered into agreements for the use of water, land and dams. Payment under those agreements varies with the amount of power generated. The various agreements can be renewed and are extendable up to 2089.
In the normal course of business, the company will enter into capital expenditure commitments which primarily relate to contracted project costs for various growth initiatives. As at March 31, 2026, the company had $1,319 million (2025: $863 million) of capital expenditure commitments of which $536 million is payable in 2026, $427 million is payable in 2027, $327 million is payable in 2028 to 2030, and $29 million thereafter.
An integral part of the company’s strategy is to participate with institutional partners in Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds that target acquisitions that suit the company’s profile. In the normal course of business, the company 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, the company 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), the company, or by co-investors.

Contingencies
The company 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 the company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
The company’s 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 company, 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, Brookfield Global Transition Fund II, and Catalytic Transition Fund. The company’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 the company’s subsidiaries as at March 31, 2026 were $1,246 million (December 31, 2025: $1,672 million).
Guarantees
In the normal course of operations, the company executes agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to third-parties of transactions such as business dispositions, capital project purchases, business acquisitions, power marketing activities such as purchase and sale agreements, swap agreements, sales and purchases of assets and services, and the transfer of tax credits or renewable energy grants from tax equity partnerships. The company has also agreed to indemnify its directors and certain of its officers and employees. The nature of substantially all of the indemnification undertakings and guarantee agreements prevents the company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount that the company 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.
Two direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of our company have fully and unconditionally guaranteed (i) any and all present and future unsecured debt securities issued by Brookfield Renewable Partners ULC, in each case as to payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest when and as the same will become due and payable under or in respect of the trust indenture under which such securities are issued, (ii) all present and future senior preferred shares of Brookfield Renewable Power Preferred Equity Inc. (“BRP Equity”) as to the payment of dividends when due, the payment of amounts due on redemption and the payment of amounts due on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BRP Equity, (iii) certain of BEP’s preferred units, as to payment of distributions when due, the payment of amounts due on redemption and the payment of amounts due on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BEP, (iv) the obligations of all present and future bilateral credit facilities established for the benefit of Brookfield Renewable, and (v) notes issued by Brookfield BRP Holdings (Canada) Inc. under its U.S. commercial paper program. BRP Bermuda Holdings I Limited (“BBHI”) and BEP Subco Inc. subsidiaries of the company have guaranteed the perpetual subordinated notes issued by Brookfield BRP Holdings (Canada) Inc. These arrangements do not have or are not reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
