INTRODUCTION AND STRATEGIC OVERVIEW

Emera (TSX/NYSE: EMA) is a North American provider of energy services, owning and operating a portfolio of cost-of-service, rate-regulated electric and gas utilities. Its largest operations are in Florida, with additional operations in Atlantic Canada, New Mexico, and the Caribbean. Emera is headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Emera’s business strategy is centred on continued investment in its regulated utilities, combined with a focus on operational excellence and efficiency, to safely and reliably deliver energy to its 2.6 million customers. Effective execution of these priorities supports predictable and growing earnings, cash flow and dividends for shareholders.

Earnings opportunities in regulated utilities are a function of the magnitude of net investment in the utility (known as “rate base”), the amount of equity in the capital structure, and the targeted return on that equity (“ROE”), all as established and approved through regulation. Earnings are also affected by sales volumes and operating expenses. In 2024, Emera’s regulated cost-of-service utilities in Florida accounted for 65 per cent of average consolidated rate base, with Atlantic Canada comprising 27 per cent, and the Caribbean and New Mexico at 4 per cent each.

Emera’s capital investment plan is forecasted to be approximately $20 billion from 2025 through 2029 and is focused on delivering value for customers through prudent investments in reliability and system resiliency, infrastructure modernization, expansion to address customer growth, integration of renewables, and technological innovations to deliver better customer experiences. It is anticipated that approximately 80 per cent of this capital investment will be made in Emera’s Florida utilities, necessitated by customer growth and system requirements at both TEC and PGS.

*Capital investment plan and average consolidated rate base exclude NMGC. Refer to “Other Developments” for more information on the pending sale of NMGC.

Emera’s capital investment plan will be funded primarily through internally generated cash flows, debt raised at the operating company level consistent with regulated capital structures, equity issuances, and proceeds from the anticipated sale of NMGC. Generally, Emera’s equity requirements are expected to be funded through the issuance of hybrid equity, and the issuance of common equity through Emera’s dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) and its at-the-market program (“ATM program”). Maintaining investment-grade credit ratings is a core strategic priority of the Company.

Emera has increased dividends per common share paid for 18 consecutive years and has provided forward annual dividend growth guidance of one to two per cent. Emera anticipates adjusted EPS average growth of five to seven per cent through 2027 which will support reduction in the ratio of dividend payout to adjusted net income. For further information on the non-GAAP ratios “Adjusted EPS” and “Dividend Payout Ratio of Adjusted Net Income”, refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios” section.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RATIOS

Emera uses financial measures and ratios that do not have standardized meaning under USGAAP and are calculated by adjusting certain GAAP measures for specific items. They may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. These measures and ratios are discussed and reconciled below.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS – Basic and Dividend Payout Ratio of Adjusted Net Income

Emera calculates an adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders (“adjusted net income”) measure by excluding the items below from net income attributable to common shareholders. Management believes excluding these items better distinguishes ongoing operations of the business and allows investors to better understand and evaluate the business.

Emera calculates adjusted net income for the Other Electric Utilities and Other segments. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure is included in each segment. Refer to the “Financial Highlights – Other Electric Utilities” and “Financial Highlights – Other” sections.

Adjusted EPS – basic and dividend payout ratio of adjusted net income are non-GAAP ratios which are calculated using adjusted net income, as described above. For further details on dividend payout ratio of adjusted net income, see the “Dividend Payout Ratio” section in the Company’s 2024 annual MD&A.

Adjusted Item Impacting All Periods

Mark-to-market (“MTM”) Adjustments:

Management believes excluding from net income the effect of MTM valuations and changes thereto, until settlement, better aligns the intent and financial effect of these contracts with the underlying cash flows, and therefore excludes MTM adjustments for evaluation of performance and incentive compensation. The MTM adjustments are related to the following:

   

held-for-trading (“HFT”) commodity derivative instruments, including adjustments related to the price differential between the point where natural gas is sourced and where it is delivered, and the related amortization of transportation capacity recognized as a result of certain Emera Energy marketing and trading transactions;

   

the business activities of Bear Swamp Power Company LLC (“Bear Swamp”) included in Emera’s equity income;

   

equity securities held in BLPC and Emera Energy; and

   

FX hedges entered into to hedge USD denominated operating unit earnings exposure.

Adjusting Item Impacting 2025:

Charges Related to the Pending Sale of NMGC:

On August 5, 2024, Emera entered into an agreement to sell NMGC. In Q2 2025, the Company recognized a $71 million non-cash impairment charge, after-tax, and an additional loss of $1 million in estimated transaction costs, after-tax, related to the pending sale. For further details, refer to the “Significant Items Affecting Earnings”, and “Other Developments” sections.

Adjusting Item Impacting 2024:

Gain on Sale of Emera’s Indirect Minority Interest in the Labrador Island Link (“Gain on sale of LIL”):

In Q2 2024, Emera recognized a $107 million gain, after tax and transaction costs, on the sale of LIL. For further details refer to the “Significant Items Affecting Earnings” section.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures used by Emera. These financial measures are used by numerous investors and lenders to better understand cash flows and credit quality. EBITDA is useful to assess Emera’s operating performance and indicates the Company’s ability to service or incur debt, invest in capital, and finance working capital requirements. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA absent the income effect of MTM adjustments, charges related to the pending sale of NMGC, and the 2024 gain on the sale of LIL.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REVIEW

Significant Items Affecting Earnings

Charges Related to the Pending Sale of NMGC

In Q2 2025, Emera recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $75 million ($71 million after-tax, or $0.24 per common share) related to the remeasurement of the NMGC disposal group to fair value (“FV”) less costs to sell. This was recorded in “Impairment Charge” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and included in the Other segment. For further details on the pending sale of NMGC, refer to the “Other Developments” section. For further details on the non-cash impairment charge, refer to note 3 in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Earnings Impact of MTM (Loss) Gain, After-Tax

MTM loss, after-tax, decreased $100 million to $29 million in Q2 2025, compared to $129 million in Q2 2024. Year-to-date, the 2024 MTM loss, after-tax, of $138 million, decreased $313 million to a $175 million MTM gain, after-tax, for the same period in 2025. These changes were primarily due to lower amortization of gas transportation assets at Emera Energy Services (“EES”), and a gain on Corporate FX hedges compared to a loss in prior year. Year-over-year change was also driven by changes in existing positions at EES.

2024

Gain on Sale of LIL

On June 4, 2024, Emera completed the sale of its LIL equity interest. A gain on sale of $182 million after transaction costs ($107 million, after tax and transaction costs, or $0.37 per common share), was recognized in “Other Income, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and included in the Other segment. For further details, refer to note 3 in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Operating Revenues

For Q2 2025, operating revenues increased $371 million compared to Q2 2024 and, excluding the change in MTM impacts, increased $299 million. The increase was due to higher storm cost recoveries at TEC and NSPI (offset in OM&G); new base rates at TEC and NMGC; higher regulatory deferral revenue at TEC; the impact of a weaker CAD; increased sales volumes at TEC primarily driven by favourable weather and customer growth; higher marketing and trading margin at EES; and higher off-system sales at PGS.

Year-to-date 2025, operating revenues increased $1,029 million compared to 2024 and, excluding the change in MTM impacts, increased $667 million. The increase was due to the impact of a weaker CAD; new base rates at TEC and NMGC; higher storm cost recoveries at TEC and NSPI (offset in OM&G); higher regulatory deferral revenue at TEC; increased marketing and trading margin at EES; increased sales volumes at NSPI and TEC primarily driven by favourable weather and customer growth; and higher off-system sales at PGS.

Operating Expenses

For Q2 2025, operating expenses increased $264 million compared to Q2 2024 and, excluding charges related to the pending sale of NMGC of $75 million, increased $189 million. Year-to-date operating expenses increased $434 million compared to 2024 and, excluding the charges related to the pending sale of NMGC of $75 million, increased $359 million. These increases were due to higher natural gas prices at TEC and PGS; higher storm cost recognition at TEC and NSPI (offset in revenue); increased depreciation expense at TEC, PGS and NMGC; and higher OM&G at NSPI. These were partially offset by lower OM&G at Corporate primarily due to the timing of the recognition on long term compensation expense and related hedges. The year-over-year increase was also due to the impact of a weaker CAD.

Other Income, net

For Q2 2025, other income, net decreased $105 million and, year-to-date, decreased $102 million compared to the same periods in 2024. The decrease was due to the gain on sale of LIL in 2024, partially offset by higher FX gains at Corporate in 2025.

Income Tax (Recovery) Expense

For Q2 2025, income tax recovery increased $30 million compared to Q2 2024 due to the impact of the gain on sale of LIL in 2024; increased ITCs related to clean technology investments at NSPI; increased production tax credits related to solar facilities at TEC; and decreased deferred income tax asset valuation allowance. These were partially offset by increased income before provision for income taxes (excluding the gain on sale of LIL in 2024 and charges related to the pending sale of NMGC).

Year-to-date 2025, income tax expense increased $61 million compared to 2024 due to increased income before provision for income taxes (excluding the gain on sale of LIL in 2024 and charges related to the pending sale of NMGC). This was partially offset by the tax impact of the gain on sale of LIL in 2024; increased ITCs related to clean technology investments at NSPI; increased production tax credits related to solar facilities at TEC; and decreased deferred income tax asset valuation allowance.

Net Income and Adjusted Net Income

For Q2 2025, net income attributable to common shareholders, compared to Q2 2024, was favourably impacted by the $100 million decrease in MTM losses and unfavourably impacted by the $72 million charges related to the pending sale of NMGC and the $107 million gain on sale of LIL recognized in Q2 2024. Excluding these impacts, adjusted net income increased $85 million, primarily due to increased earnings at TEC, EES, and NMGC; higher Corporate income tax recovery; and decreased Corporate OM&G. These were partially offset by lower earnings at NSPI; decreased equity earnings from LIL; and increased Corporate interest expense.

Year-to-date 2025 net income attributable to common shareholders, compared to the same period in 2024, was favourably impacted by the $313 million increase in MTM gain and unfavourably impacted by the $72 million charges related to the pending sale of NMGC and the $107 million gain on sale of LIL recognized in 2024. Excluding these changes, adjusted net income increased $248 million. The increase was primarily due to increased earnings at TEC, NSPI, EES, and NMGC; higher Corporate income tax recovery, and decreased Corporate OM&G. These were partially offset by decreased equity earnings from LIL; and increased Corporate interest expense.

EPS – Basic and Adjusted EPS – Basic

For Q2 2025, EPS – basic is consistent with Q2 2024. For Q2 2025, adjusted – EPS was higher than in Q2 2024 due to increased earnings, as discussed above, partially offset by the impact of an increase in weighted average shares outstanding.

EPS – basic and adjusted EPS – basic were higher year-over-year due to the impact of increased earnings, as discussed above, partially offset by an increase in weighted average shares outstanding.

The translation impact of a weaker CAD on USD earnings increased adjusted net income by $1 million in Q2 2025 and $15 million year-to-date compared to the same periods in 2024 and increased net income attributable to common shareholders by $32 million in Q2 2025 and $62 million year-to-date compared to the same periods in 2024. Impacts of the changes in the translation of the CAD include the impacts of Corporate FX hedges used to mitigate translation risk of USD earnings in the Other segment.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK

There have been no material changes in Emera’s business overview and outlook from the Company’s 2024 annual MD&A, except for the updates disclosed below. The extent of the future impact of trade disputes and tariffs on the Company’s financial results and business operations continues to evolve, cannot be predicted at this time and will depend on future developments. To date, there has been no material financial impact on the Company. For information on risks associated with trade disputes and the imposition of tariffs, refer to the “Enterprise Risk and Risk Management” section in Emera’s 2024 annual MD&A.

Florida Electric Utility

TEC anticipates earning within the upper half of its ROE range in 2025. As a result of new base rates effective January 1, 2025, TEC’s 2025 USD earnings are expected to be higher than in 2024. TEC expects customer growth rates in 2025 to be comparable to 2024, reflective of the expected economic growth in Florida.

On February 3, 2025, the FPSC issued the final order approving the rate case decision, effective January 1, 2025. For additional details on the rate case decision, refer to note 7 in Emera’s 2024 annual audited consolidated financial statements. In February 2025, a motion for reconsideration on certain aspects of the final order was filed by an intervening party with the FPSC. On May 6, 2025, the FPSC denied the motion for reconsideration, except with respect to immaterial calculation corrections, and the final order was issued on June 11, 2025. In March 2025, two intervening parties each filed a notice of appeal to the Florida Supreme Court regarding the outcome of TEC’s 2024 base rate proceeding. As of August 8, 2025, the intervening parties have not filed their briefs related to the appeal.

On February 4, 2025, the FPSC approved TEC’s petition for the recovery of $466 million USD of costs associated with Hurricane Idalia, Hurricane Debby, Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, and the associated interest to replenish the storm reserve over an 18-month recovery period beginning in March 2025. The amount of cost-recovery is subject to a true-up mechanism with the FPSC. For additional details on the storm reserve, refer to note 7 in Emera’s annual audited consolidated financial statements.

In 2025, capital investment in the Florida Electric Utility segment is expected to be $1.7 billion USD (2024 – $1.4 billion USD), including allowance for funds used during construction (“AFUDC”). Capital projects include solar investments, storm hardening investments, grid modernization, and building resilience.

Canadian Electric Utilities

NSPI

NSPI anticipates earning below its allowed ROE range in 2025. NSPI expects earnings in 2025 to be higher than 2024. Sales volumes are expected to be higher in 2025 than 2024.

On March 5, 2025, NSPI, the Canada Infrastructure Bank (“CIB”) and the Wskijinu’k Mtmo’taqnuow Agency (“WMA”) announced the Wasoqonatl transmission line project to create a reliability intertie between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The project will be owned by a new regulated utility, WTI, which is wholly-owned by a newly formed limited partnership between NSPI, CIB and WMA. NSPI will be responsible for providing construction, operation, maintenance and administrative services to WTI. NSPI has a 50 per cent indirect voting interest in WTI which will be recorded as “Investments subject to significant influence” on Emera’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2025, NSPI’s investment is nominal.

In 2025, capital investment, including AFUDC, is expected to be $680 million (2024 – $487 million). NSPI is primarily investing in capital projects required to support power system reliability and reliable service for customers.

NSPML

Equity earnings from NSPML in 2025 are expected to be consistent with 2024. The NSPML investment is recorded as “Investments subject to significant influence” on Emera’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On July 18, 2025, NSPML submitted an application to the NSEB requesting recovery of approximately $199 million in Maritime Link costs for 2026. A decision is expected in Q4 2025.

On May 21, 2025, NSPML submitted an application to the NSEB for approval of a $33 million capital investment relating to submarine cable protection, which is expected to be incurred in 2026. A decision is expected in Q4 2025.

On November 29, 2024, NSPML received approval from the NSEB to collect up to $197 million in 2025 from NSPI. Payments from NSPI are subject to a holdback of up to $4 million per month. There was no holdback recorded year-to-date in 2025. NSPML expects to file an application to terminate the holdback mechanism in 2025.

NSPML does not anticipate any significant capital investment in 2025.

Gas Utilities and Infrastructure

PGS

PGS anticipates earning at the bottom of its allowed ROE range in 2025. USD earnings for 2025 are expected to be consistent with 2024 primarily due to higher operating costs and depreciation driven by ongoing capital investments to support customer demand and system needs.

On March 31, 2025, PGS filed a rate case with the FPSC for new rates to become effective January 2026. PGS requested a $93 million USD increase in annual base rates, revised from the original request of $104 million USD, and an additional adjustment of $27 million USD for 2027. The request for 2026 includes $7 million USD from the cast iron and bare steel replacement rider. The proposed rates include recovery of investments in the gas system to meet the needs of a growing customer base and to improve reliability, resiliency, and efficiency. On August 6, 2025, a motion to suspend the procedural schedule was jointly filed with the intervening parties to the base rate case notifying the FPSC that the parties have reached a comprehensive settlement agreement in principle, the details of which are expected to be filed with the FPSC in mid-August 2025 and subject to FPSC approval.

In 2025, capital investment, including AFUDC, is expected to be approximately $360 million USD (2024 – $323 million USD). PGS will make investments to maintain the reliability of its system and support customer growth.

NMGC

On August 5, 2024, Emera announced an agreement to sell NMGC. As a result of the pending sale, NMGC’s assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale beginning in Q3 2024. In July 2025, the procedural schedule for the NMPRC regulatory process was revised with the public hearing rescheduled from June 2025 to early November 2025. The transaction is now expected to close in early 2026. For more information on the pending transaction, refer to the “Other Developments” section.

As a result of the change in expected timing of the pending sale, NMGC’s USD earnings contribution in 2025 are expected to be slightly higher than the adjusted USD earnings in 2024 due to higher revenue from new base rates.

Other Electric Utilities

Other Electric Utilities’ USD earnings in 2025 are expected to be consistent with the prior year.

In 2025, capital investment in the Other Electric Utilities segment is expected to be approximately $140 million USD, including AFUDC (2024 – $59 million USD), primarily in more efficient and cleaner sources of generation, including renewables and battery storage.

GBPC

On June 1, 2024, the Electricity Act, 2024 took effect. The legislation purports to remove the jurisdiction of the GBPA over GBPC and to have the Utilities Regulation and Competition Authority (“URCA”), another Bahamian regulator, regulate GBPC. URCA filed a claim in the Supreme Court of the Bahamas, seeking an order that the GBPA be prohibited and restrained from considering and/or approving any adjustment to rates sought by GBPC. URCA contends that it has regulatory authority over electricity provision on Grand Bahama pursuant to the Electricity Act. Management does not foresee that the outcome of the proceedings will have a material impact to Emera.

 

12


Other

The adjusted net loss from the Other segment is expected to be lower in 2025 than 2024, due to higher contributions from EES and the wind down of Block Energy LLC in Q4 2024.

Earnings from EES are generally dependent on market conditions. In particular, volatility in natural gas and electricity markets, which can be influenced by weather, local supply constraints and other supply and demand factors, can provide higher levels of margin opportunity. The business is seasonal, with Q1 and Q4 usually providing the greatest opportunity for earnings. EES is generally expected to deliver annual adjusted net income of $15 to $30 million USD. In light of a strong performance in Q1, EES expects adjusted net income between $35 and $45 million USD in 2025.

The Other segment does not anticipate any significant capital investment in 2025.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

Cybersecurity Incident

On April 25, 2025, Emera and NSPI discovered a cybersecurity incident (the “Cybersecurity Incident”) involving unauthorized access into certain parts of its Canadian network and servers supporting portions of its business applications. Immediately following detection of the external threat, incident response and business continuity protocols were activated, including the engagement of leading third-party cybersecurity experts. Actions were taken to contain and isolate the affected servers and prevent further intrusion and to notify law enforcement in Canada and the United States (“US”). There was no disruption to any of the Company’s Canadian physical operations, including at NSPI’s generation, transmission and distribution facilities, the Maritime Link, or the Brunswick Pipeline. There was no impact to Emera’s US or Caribbean utilities’ operations. The post-incident investigation and assessment of the full financial and other impacts of the Cybersecurity Incident is ongoing.

During restoration efforts, the Company implemented business continuity processes for certain impacted business and administrative functions at its Canadian affiliates. The systematic restoration of affected IT systems and corresponding transition away from business continuity processes is ongoing and will continue in a planned, controlled and phased approach. For more information on the impact on internal controls over financial reporting, refer to the “Disclosure and Internal Controls” section. The Company maintains cyber insurance coverage and is working with its insurer on the claims process. At this time, the Cybersecurity Incident is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. For information on risks associated with cybersecurity incidents generally, refer to the ‘Enterprise Risk and Risk Management’ section of Emera’s annual 2024 MD&A.

Pending Sale of NMGC

On August 5, 2024, Emera entered into an agreement to sell its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary NMGC for a total enterprise value of approximately $1.3 billion USD, consisting of cash proceeds and the transfer of debt and customary closing adjustments. As a result of the pending sale, NMGC’s assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale in Q3 2024 and the carrying value of the assets and liabilities were adjusted to FV less cost to sell. In July 2025, the procedural schedule for the NMPRC regulatory process was revised with the public hearing rescheduled from June 2025 to early November 2025. The transaction is now expected to close in early 2026.

On June 30, 2025, the Company remeasured the NMGC disposal group at the lower of its carrying value amount and FV less costs to sell by comparing the FV of expected transaction proceeds to the carrying value of net assets. As a result of the change in the expected timing of the transaction close, a non-cash impairment charge of $75 million ($71 million, after-tax) or $55 million USD ($52 million USD, after-tax) was recorded in “Impairment Charge” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in Q2 2025. An additional loss for estimated future transaction costs of $2 million ($1 million after-tax) was recorded in “Other Income, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in Q2 2025.

The Company will continue to record depreciation on the NMGC assets through the transaction closing date, as the depreciation continues to be reflected in customer rates and will be reflected in the carryover basis of the assets when sold. Depreciation and amortization of $61 million ($44 million USD) was recorded on these assets from August 5, 2024, the date they were classified as held for sale, through June 30, 2025. Of the $61 million ($44 million USD) recorded to date, $26 million ($19 million USD) was recorded in 2024.

US One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”)

On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was signed into law. The OBBBA makes permanent many of the expired and expiring tax provisions originally enacted in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. It also includes significant changes in future years to the timing and availability of several clean energy tax credits previously enacted in the Inflation Reduction Act, including the investment tax credit and production tax credit. Emera is currently evaluating the impact of the enacted changes but does not anticipate that they will have a material impact on the Company.

New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) Listing

Emera filed a registration statement dated May 1, 2025 on Form 40-F with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register its common shares under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Emera subsequently completed the listing of its common shares on the NYSE and commenced trading on May 28, 2025. Emera’s common shares continue to be listed and traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company generates internally sourced cash from its various regulated and non-regulated energy investments. Utility customer bases are diversified by both sales volumes and revenues among customer classes. Emera’s non-regulated businesses provide diverse revenue streams and counterparties to the business. Circumstances that could affect the Company’s ability to generate cash include changes to global macro-economic conditions, downturns in markets served by Emera, impact of fuel commodity price changes on collateral requirements and timely recoveries of fuel and storm costs from customers, the loss of one or more large customers, regulatory decisions affecting customer rates and the recovery of regulatory assets, and changes in environmental legislation. Emera’s subsidiaries are generally in a financial position to contribute cash dividends to Emera provided they do not breach their debt covenants, where applicable, after giving effect to the dividend payment, and that they maintain their credit metrics.

Emera’s future liquidity and capital needs will be predominately for working capital requirements, ongoing rate base investment, business acquisitions, greenfield development, dividends and debt servicing. Emera has an approximate $20 billion capital investment plan over the 2025 through 2029 period and supports ongoing growth. Capital investments at Emera’s regulated utilities are subject to regulatory approval.

Emera has sufficient liquidity to service debt obligations as they come due to meet any near-term capital investment requirements as currently planned. Emera plans to use cash from operations, debt raised at the utilities, Corporate equity, and proceeds from the pending sale of NMGC to support normal operations, repayment of existing debt, and capital requirements. Debt raised at certain of the Company’s utilities is subject to applicable regulatory approvals. Generally, Corporate equity requirements in support of the Company’s capital investment plan are expected to be funded through issuance of hybrid equity and issuance of common equity through Emera’s DRIP and ATM programs.

Emera has total committed credit facilities with varying maturities that cumulatively provide $2.8 billion CAD and $1.6 billion USD of credit, with approximately $935 million CAD and $799 million USD undrawn and available at June 30, 2025. The Company was holding a cash balance of $204 million, which includes $4 million classified as assets held for sale, related to the pending sale of NMGC, at June 30, 2025. For further discussion, refer to the “Debt Management” section below.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $394 million to $799 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1,193 million for the same period in 2024.

Cash from operations before changes in working capital increased $62 million year-over-year. This increase was due to higher marketing and trading margin at EES, higher fuel over-recoveries at PGS, new base rates at TEC and NMGC, and higher storm cost recoveries at TEC. These were partially offset by proceeds from the FAM asset sale to Invest Nova Scotia at NSPI in Q2 2024 and higher fuel under-recoveries at TEC.

Changes in working capital decreased operating cash flows by $456 million year-over-year. This decrease was due to unfavourable changes in accounts payable at TEC due to the timing and payment of storm invoices, unfavourable changes in accounts receivable at TEC due to increased base rates and storm cost recoveries, unfavourable changes in accounts receivable and inventory at NSPI, the recognition of ITCs related to clean technology investments at NSPI, and higher trade receivables at GBPC due to higher rental generation expenses. These were partially offset by favourable changes in cash collateral positions at NSPI and EES and timing of settlements at EES.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $1,257 million to $1,672 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $415 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was due to the proceeds of $927 million received in 2024 on the sale of LIL and higher capital investment, partially offset by proceeds on the disposal of assets.

Capital investments, including AFUDC, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, were $1,757 million, compared to $1,368 million for the same period in 2024. Details of the 2025 capital investment by segment are shown below:

   

$1,108 million – Florida Electric Utility (2024 – $841 million);

   

$319 million – Canadian Electric Utilities (2024 – $222 million);

   

$288 million – Gas Utilities and Infrastructure (2024 – $265 million);

   

$41 million – Other Electric Utilities (2024 – $37 million); and

   

$1 million – Other (2024 – $3 million).

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $1,875 million to $877 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to cash used in financing activities of $998 million for the same period in 2024. This increase was due to lower net repayments under committed credit facilities at Emera and TEC, higher proceeds from short-term debt at NSPI, higher net borrowing on committed credit facilities at NSPI, lower retirement of long-term debt at Emera US Finance LP and, higher proceeds from long-term debt at TEC. These were partially offset by lower issuance of long-term debt at EUSHI Finance Inc., higher repayments of short-term debt at Emera and TECO Finance Inc., and higher retirement of long-term debt at NSPI.

DISCLOSURE AND INTERNAL CONTROLS

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”) and internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as defined in National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings. The Company’s internal control framework is based on criteria published in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013), a report issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, designed the Company’s DC&P and ICFR as at June 30, 2025, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting in accordance with USGAAP.

Management recognizes the inherent limitations in internal control systems, no matter how well designed. Control systems determined to be appropriately designed can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the reliability of financial reporting and may not prevent or detect all misstatements.

Change in ICFR

In April 2025, the Company experienced a Cybersecurity Incident that impacted certain financial systems and processes at its Canadian affiliates. As a result, the Company transitioned these to business continuity processes and implemented additional ICFR during this period. This transition to business continuity processes resulted in a material change in the Company’s ICFR at Canadian affiliates during the quarter ending June 30, 2025. For more information on the Cybersecurity Incident, refer to the “Other Developments” section.

There were no other changes in the Company’s ICFR during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with USGAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant areas requiring use of management estimates relate to rate-regulated assets and liabilities, accumulated reserve for cost of removal, pension and post-retirement benefits, unbilled revenue, useful lives for depreciable assets, goodwill and long-lived assets impairment assessments, income taxes, asset retirement obligations, and valuation of financial instruments. Management evaluates the Company’s estimates on an ongoing basis based upon historical experience, current and expected conditions and assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time the assumption is made, with any adjustments recognized in income in the year they arise. In Q2 2025, the Company recognized a $75 million CAD ($55 million USD), pre-tax, non-cash impairment charge related to the pending sale of NMGC. For more information on the impairment charge, refer to note 3 in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. There were no other material changes in the nature of the Company’s critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in Emera’s 2024 annual MD&A.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES

Future Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The following updates have been issued by the FASB, but as allowed, have not yet been adopted by Emera. Any ASUs not included below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable to the Company or to have an insignificant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

29


Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement Reporting – Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The standard update improves the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses by requiring more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization) included within income statement expense captions. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The standard updates are to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of the standard update on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard enhances the transparency, decision usefulness and effectiveness of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the reconciliation of income taxes computed using the enacted statutory income tax rate to the actual income tax provision and effective income tax rate, as well as the disaggregation of income taxes paid (refunded) by jurisdiction. The standard also requires disclosure of income (loss) before provision for income taxes and income tax expense (recovery) in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X 210.4-08(h), Rules of General Application – General Notes to Financial Statements: Income Tax Expense, and the removal of disclosures no longer considered cost beneficial or relevant. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The standard will be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of the standard on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.

Quarterly operating revenues and adjusted net income are affected by seasonality. The first quarter provides strong earnings contributions due to a significant portion of the Company’s operations being in northeastern North America, where winter is the peak electricity usage season. The third quarter provides strong earnings contributions due to summer being the heaviest electric consumption season in Florida. Seasonal and other weather patterns, as well as the number and severity of storms, can affect demand for energy and the cost of service. Quarterly results could also be affected by items outlined in the “Significant Items Affecting Earnings” section. Quarter-over-quarter variances are discussed further below.

Q2 2025 compared to Q2 2024

For explanation of variances, refer to the “Consolidated Income Statement Highlights” section.

Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024

Q1 2025 net income attributable to common shareholders increased by $376 million and EPS – basic and diluted increased by $1.23 compared to Q1 2024. The increases were primarily due to decreased MTM losses; increased earnings at TEC, NSPI, EES and NMGC; the impact of a weaker CAD; and decreased Corporate OM&G. These changes were partially offset by decreased income from equity investments due to the sale of LIL. The change in EPS was also impacted by an increase in weighted average shares outstanding.

Q4 2024 compared to Q4 2023

Q4 2024 net income attributable to common shareholders decreased by $135 million and EPS – basic and diluted decreased by $0.52 compared to Q4 2023. The decreases were primarily due to decreased MTM gains; charges related to wind-down costs and certain asset impairments; lower equity earnings from LIL; increased Corporate OM&G due to the timing difference in the valuation of long-term incentive expenses and related hedges; decreased earnings at Emera Energy; and increased Corporate interest expense. These changes were partially offset by the tax benefit related to a specific financing structure and its wind-up; increased earnings at NSPI, Other Electric Utilities, NMGC, PGS, and TEC; valuation allowance reversal related to the gain on sale of LIL; and increased Corporate income tax recovery. The change in EPS was also impacted by an increase in weighted average shares outstanding.

Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023

Q3 2024 net income attributable to common shareholders decreased by $97 million and EPS – basic and diluted decreased by $0.36 compared to Q3 2023. The decreases were primarily due to charges related to the pending sale of NMGC; decreased earnings at Emera Energy; lower equity earnings from LIL; lower Corporate income tax recovery due to decreased losses before provision for income taxes; increased Corporate interest expense due to increased interest rates and increased total debt; and increased Corporate preferred share dividends. These changes were partially offset by decreased MTM losses; increased earnings at TEC, PGS, NSPI and NMGC; and lower Corporate OM&G due to the timing difference in the valuation of long-term incentive expense and related hedges. The change in EPS was also impacted by an increase in weighted average shares outstanding.
