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 2.7 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 2026 through 2030 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 19 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 Gas Utilities and Infrastructure, Other Electric Utilities, and Other segments. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure is included in each segment. Refer to the “Financial Highlights – Gas Utilities and Infrastructure, Other Electric Utilities, and 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.

 

4


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.

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. In Q3 2024, the Company recognized $206 million in non-cash goodwill and other impairment charges, after-tax, and an additional loss of $19 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.

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

2025:

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 charges” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and included in the Other segment.

2024:

In Q3 2024, Emera recognized non-cash goodwill and other impairment charges of $221 million ($206 million after-tax, or $0.72 per common share) related to the NMGC reporting unit. These charges were recorded in “Impairment charges” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and included in the Other and Gas Utilities and Infrastructure segments. Additionally, in Q3 2024, Emera recorded a loss of $24 million ($19 million after-tax, or $0.06 per common share) in estimated transaction costs related to the pending sale. These transaction costs were included in “Other income, net” 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 and goodwill charges, refer to note 3 in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

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

MTM loss, after-tax, increased $28 million to $35 million in Q3 2025, compared to $7 million in Q3 2024, primarily due to a loss on Corporate FX hedges compared to a gain in prior year. Year-to-date, the 2024 MTM loss, after-tax, of $145 million, decreased $285 million to a $140 million MTM gain, after-tax, for the same period in 2025, primarily due to favourable changes in existing positions and lower amortization of gas transportation assets at Emera Energy Services (“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 Unit Performance

     
Increased earnings at TEC due to higher revenue from new base rates and customer growth, partially offset by increased operating, maintenance and general expenses (“OM&G”), depreciation expense, interest and income tax expense. Year-over-year the increase was also due to the impact of favourable weather and the impact of a weaker CAD      50        202  
Decreased income from equity investments due to the sale of LIL in Q2 2024      -        (28)

Increased earnings year-over-year at NMGC due to higher revenue from new base rates and the impact of a weaker CAD      (4)        22  
Decreased earnings quarter-over-quarter at NSPI due to increased OM&G and higher depreciation expense. Increased earnings year-over-year due to investment tax credits (“ITCs”) related to clean technology investments and increased sales volumes driven by favourable weather, partially offset by higher OM&G and higher depreciation expense      (11)        30  
Corporate      
Increased income tax recovery due to decreased deferred income tax asset valuation allowance and increased loss before provision for income taxes      11        18

Operating Revenues

For Q3 2025, operating revenues increased $304 million compared to Q3 2024 and, excluding the change in MTM impacts, increased $316 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; and the impact of a weaker CAD.

Year-to-date 2025, operating revenues increased $1,333 million compared to 2024 and, excluding the change in MTM impacts, increased $983 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; the impact of a weaker CAD; higher regulatory deferral revenue at TEC; increased marketing and trading margin at EES; favourable weather at NSPI and TEC; higher off-system sales at PGS; and customer growth at TEC.

Operating Expenses

For Q3 2025, operating expenses increased $40 million compared to Q3 2024. Excluding charges related to the pending sale of NMGC of $221 million recognized in 2024, operating expenses increased $261 million. Year-to-date operating expenses increased $474 million compared to 2024 and, excluding the change in charges related to the pending sale of NMGC of $146 million, increased $620 million. These increases were due to higher storm cost recognition at TEC and NSPI (offset in revenue); higher natural gas prices at TEC and PGS; increased depreciation at TEC, PGS and NMGC; and higher OM&G at NSPI, PGS and NMGC. The year-over-year increase was also due to the impact of a weaker CAD and higher regulated fuel for generation and purchase power and depreciation at NSPI.

Other Income, net

For Q3 2025, other income, net increased $5 million compared to Q3 2024 due to the 2024 transaction costs related to the pending sale of NMGC, partially offset by lower FX gains at Corporate in 2025.

Year-to-date, other income, net decreased $97 million compared to 2024 due to the gain on sale of LIL in 2024, partially offset by higher FX gains at Corporate in 2025, the 2024 transaction costs related to the pending sale of NMGC; and higher interest income at TEC.

Income Tax Expense (Recovery)

For Q3 2025, income tax expense increased $15 million compared to Q3 2024 due to the tax impact of lower charges related to the pending sale of NMGC, partially offset by decreased deferred income tax asset valuation allowance.

Year-to-date 2025, income tax expense increased $76 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) and the tax impact of lower charges related to the pending sale of NMGC. These were 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 tax credits at TEC; and decreased deferred income tax asset valuation allowance.

Net Income and Adjusted Net Income

For Q3 2025, net income attributable to common shareholders, compared to Q3 2024, was favourably impacted by $225 million charges related to the pending sale of NMGC recognized in 2024 and unfavourably impacted by the $28 million increase in MTM losses. Excluding these impacts, adjusted net income increased $27 million, primarily due to increased earnings at TEC, partially offset by lower earnings at NSPI and NMGC and higher Corporate costs.

Year-to-date 2025, net income attributable to common shareholders, compared to the same period in 2024, was favourably impacted by the $285 million increase in MTM gain and the $153 million change in charges related to the pending sale of NMGC and unfavourably impacted by the $107 million gain on sale of LIL recognized in 2024. Excluding these changes, adjusted net income increased $275 million. The increase was primarily due to increased earnings at TEC, EES, NSPI and NMGC, and decreased Corporate costs. These were partially offset by lower equity earnings from LIL.

EPS – Basic and Adjusted EPS – Basic

For Q3 2025 and year-to-date, EPS – basic and adjusted EPS were higher due to increased earnings as discussed above, partially offset by the impact of 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 Q3 2025 and $16 million year-to-date, compared to the same periods in 2024. In Q3 2025, the impact of a weaker CAD on US denominated earnings was more than offset by the realized and unrealized losses on FX hedges used to mitigate the translation risk of USD earnings, resulting in a $10 million decrease to net income attributable to common shareholders compared to the same period in 2024. Year-to-date 2025, the impact of a weaker CAD on US denominated earnings, increased net income attributable to common shareholders by $52 million, compared to the same period 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.

 

10


On September 4, 2025, TEC petitioned the FPSC to increase base revenue by $88 million USD to reflect the 2026 adjustment in accordance with its 2024 rate case decision. On November 4, 2025, the FPSC approved the adjustment, with new rates becoming effective January 1, 2026.

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. To date, 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, which began 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 lower than 2024, primarily due to higher operating costs related to the Cybersecurity Incident. Sales volumes are expected to be higher in 2025 than 2024.

On September 18, 2025, NSPI filed a consensus General Rate Application (“GRA”) with the NSEB, reflecting a settlement agreement reached with customer representatives. The settlement reflects more than six months of discussion, consultation, and information sharing. The GRA proposes average annual rate increases of 1.8 per cent in 2026 and 2.4 per cent in 2027. The proposed rates would result in annual revenue (fuel and non-fuel) increases of $62 million in 2026 and $108 million in 2027. The hearing for the matter is scheduled for January 2026 and a decision by the NSEB is expected in Q1 2026.

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 September 30, 2025, NSPI’s investment is nominal.

In 2025, capital investment, including AFUDC, is expected to be $700 million (2024 – $487 million). NSPI is primarily investing in capital projects required to support power system reliability and reliable service for customers.

 

11


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 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 by early 2026.

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.

On March 31, 2025, PGS filed a rate case with the FPSC for new rates to become effective January 1, 2026. On August 13, 2025, PGS and the intervening parties filed a settlement agreement with the FPSC for a $67 million USD increase in 2026 annual base rates, which includes $7 million USD from the cast iron and bare steel replacement rider, and additional adjustments of $25 million USD in 2027 and up to $5 million USD in 2028 (subject to FPSC approval). This reflects a 10.30 per cent midpoint ROE and 54.7 per cent equity thickness. On October 31, 2025, the FPSC issued the final order approving the settlement, effective January 1, 2026.

In 2025, capital investment, including AFUDC, is expected to be approximately $330 million USD (2024 – $323 million USD). PGS is investing 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 November 2025. The transaction is 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 $70 million USD, including AFUDC (2024 – $59 million USD), primarily in projects to support system reliability.

 

12


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 expect that the outcome of the proceedings will have a material impact to Emera.

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.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS

Significant changes in the Consolidated Balance Sheets between December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2025 include:

 

millions of dollars    Total
Increase
(Decrease)
    Explanation of Increase (Decrease)
Assets             

Inventory

   $ 69     Increased due to higher natural gas prices and volumes at EES, and higher volumes of materials inventory at NSPI
Derivative instruments (current and long-term)      103     Increased due to reversal of 2024 contracts at EES, and changes in FX hedges at Corporate

Regulatory assets (current and long-term)

     (195)     Decreased due to lower storm cost recovery assets at TEC and NSPI and the effect of FX translation of Emera’s non-Canadian affiliates. These were partially offset by higher deferrals related to the fuel adjustment mechanism (“FAM”) and deferred income tax regulatory asset at NSPI
Receivables and other assets (current and long-term)      395     Increased due to higher operating revenue at TEC and timing of accounts receivable at NSPI. These were partially offset by decreased cash collateral positions on derivative instruments at EES and NSPI
Assets held for sale (current and long-term), net of liabilities (1)      (109)     Decreased primarily due to non-cash impairment charge recognized in 2025, lower accounts receivable due to seasonal trends of the business, and the effect of FX translation at NMGC
PP&E, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization      832     Increased due to capital additions in excess of depreciation, partially offset by the effect of FX translation of Emera’s non-Canadian affiliates

Goodwill

     (191)     Decreased due to the effect of FX translation of Emera’s non-Canadian affiliates
Liabilities and Equity             
Short-term debt and long-term debt (including current portion)    $ 837     Increased due to issuance of long-term debt at TEC, and proceeds from issuance of a non-revolving term credit facility at NSPI. These were partially offset by the effect of FX translation of Emera’s non-Canadian affiliates and repayment of committed credit facilities at TEC and PGS
Accounts payable      (179)     Decreased due to lower storm cost payments at TEC, lower commodity prices at EES and the effect of FX translation of Emera’s non-Canadian affiliates. These were partially offset by timing of accounts payable at NSPI
Deferred income tax liabilities, net of deferred income tax assets      108     Increased due to tax deductions in excess of accounting depreciation related to PP&E. This was partially offset by increased tax credits at TEC and the effect of FX translation of Emera’s non-Canadian affiliates
Derivative instruments (current and long-term)      (70)     Decreased due to reversal of 2024 contracts and changes in existing positions at EES and changes in FX hedges at Corporate. These were partially offset by new contracts at EES

Regulatory liabilities (current and long-term)

     (179)     Decreased due to lower FAM liability at NSPI, cost recovery clause liabilities and decreased deferred income tax regulatory liability at TEC, and the effect of FX translation of Emera’s non-Canadian affiliates

Other liabilities (current and long-term)

     168     Increased due to timing of interest payments at Corporate, timing of property tax payments at TEC, and accrued output-based pricing system (“OBPS”) carbon tax and increased customer deposits at NSPI

Common stock

     270     Increased due to shares issued

Accumulated other comprehensive income

     (376)     Decreased due to the effect of FX translation of Emera’s non-Canadian affiliates

Retained earnings

     298     Increased due to net income in excess of dividends paid

(1) On August 5, 2024, Emera announced the sale of NMGC. As a result, NMGC’s assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale beginning in Q3 2024. For further details, refer to the ‘Other Developments’ section and note 3 in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

Increase in Common Dividend

On September 25, 2025, the Emera Board of Directors approved an increase in the annual common share dividend rate to $2.93 from $2.90 per common share. The first payment will be effective November 14, 2025.

Cybersecurity Incident

On April 25, 2025, Emera and NSPI discovered a 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 is nearing completion.

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 progressing 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 November 2025. The transaction is expected to close in early 2026.

At each reporting date, the Company performs an assessment of the FV of the disposal group by comparing the FV of expected transaction proceeds, less costs to sell, to the carrying value of net assets, including goodwill (“carrying amount”). On June 30, 2025, the Company remeasured the NMGC disposal group at the lower of its carrying amount and FV less costs to sell. 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 charges” 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. There were no additional adjustments recorded in Q3 2025 as a result of the FV less cost to sell assessment performed as at September 30, 2025.

 

15


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 $79 million ($57 million USD) was recorded on these assets from August 5, 2024, the date they were classified as held for sale, through September 30, 2025. Of the $79 million ($57 million USD) recorded to date, $53 million ($38 million USD) was recorded in 2025.

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. On August 15, 2025, the Internal Revenue Service released guidance on determining when wind and solar projects have begun construction for purposes of qualifying for these tax credits. Emera is currently evaluating the impact of the enacted changes but does not anticipate 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.

millions of USD    September 30      September 30  

Contribution to consolidated net income – 2024

    $ 186       $ 385  
Increased operating revenues primarily due to new base rates, storm cost recovery revenue (offset in OM&G), higher regulatory deferral revenue and customer growth. Year-over-year the increase was also due to the impact of favourable weather ($20 million)      197        465  
Increased fuel for generation and purchased power due to higher natural gas prices and higher purchased power      (40)        (82)  
Increased OM&G due to higher storm cost recognition (offset in revenue), and higher costs for employee benefits; operations related to solar investments; and software maintenance. These were partially offset by the timing of recognition of regulatory deferrals      (86)        (158)  
Increased depreciation and amortization due to facilities and capital projects placed in service      (13)        (34)  
Increased interest expense due to higher borrowings      (8)        (16)  
Increased income tax expense primarily due to higher income before provision for income taxes, partially offset by increased amortization of deferred ITCs. Year-over-year the increase was also partially offset by higher benefit from production tax credits      (10)        (34)

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 2026 through 2030 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 $640 million CAD and $834 million USD undrawn and available at September 30, 2025. The Company was holding a cash balance of $215 million, which includes $3 million classified as assets held for sale, related to the pending sale of NMGC, at September 30, 2025. For further discussion, refer to the “Debt Management” section below.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $362 million to $1,590 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1,952 million for the same period in 2024.

Cash from operations before changes in working capital increased $240 million year-over-year. This increase was due to new base rates at TEC and NMGC, higher storm cost recoveries at TEC, higher marketing and trading margin at EES, and higher fuel over-recoveries at PGS. These were partially offset by proceeds from the FAM asset sale at NSPI in Q2 2024 and higher fuel under-recoveries at TEC.

Changes in non-cash working capital decreased operating cash flow by $602 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 and the recognition of ITCs related to clean technology investments at NSPI. These were partially offset by timing of accounts receivable at PGS and timing of accounts payable at PGS and NSPI.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $1,229 million to $2,518 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1,289 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025, were $2,615 million, compared to $2,259 million for the same period in 2024. Details of the 2025 capital investment by segment are shown below:

   

$1,616 million – Florida Electric Utility (2024 – $1,375 million);

   

$491 million – Canadian Electric Utilities (2024 – $389 million);

   

$444 million – Gas Utilities and Infrastructure (2024 – $437 million);

   

$63 million – Other Electric Utilities (2024 – $54 million); and

   

$1 million – Other (2024 – $4 million).

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $1,938 million to $941 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to cash used in financing activities of $997 million for the same period in 2024. This increase was due to lower net repayments under committed credit facilities at Emera and TEC, proceeds from short-term debt at NSPI, higher net borrowings on committed credit facilities at NSPI and NMGC, retirement of long-term debt at Emera US Finance LP, TEC and NMGC in 2024 and higher proceeds from long-term debt at TEC. These were partially offset by the 2024 issuance of long-term debt at EUSHI Finance Inc. (“EUSHI Finance”), higher repayments of short-term debt at TECO Finance Inc, lower issuance of common stock, and retirement of long-term debt at NSPI.

The Registration Statement was filed in connection with the prospective offer and issue by EUSHI Finance of one or more series of senior and/or subordinated unsecured debt securities (“Debt Securities”), in an aggregate principal amount of up to $3 billion USD, during the 25-month period that the short form base shelf prospectus contained in the Registration Statement (“Base Shelf Prospectus”), including any further amendments thereto, remains valid. The Debt Securities may be offered in one or more transactions, at prices, with maturities and on terms to be set forth in one or more prospectus supplements to be filed with the NSSC and the SEC at the time of any such offering.

On October 3, 2025, EUSHI Finance completed an issuance of $750 million USD fixed-to-fixed reset rate junior subordinated notes, pursuant to the prospectus supplement dated September 29, 2025, to the Base Shelf Prospectus. The notes initially bear interest at a rate of 6.25 per cent, and will reset on April 1, 2031, and every five years thereafter, to a rate per annum equal to the five-year US treasury rate plus 2.509 per cent, subject to an interest rate floor of 6.25 per cent. The notes mature on April 1, 2056. EUSHI Finance, at its option, may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, 90 days prior to the first interest reset date, and any semi-annual interest payment date thereafter, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to be redeemed, in accordance with the terms of the prospectus supplement; and otherwise, at the times and the redemption prices described in the prospectus supplement. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint, several and subordinated basis, by Emera, and Emera US Holdings Inc. Proceeds from this issuance will be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of existing debt.

During the conversion period between July 16, 2025 and July 31, 2025, the holders of Series A Shares had the right, at their option, to convert all or any of their Series A Shares, on a one-for-one basis, into Series B Shares and the holders of Series B Shares had the right, at their option, to convert all or any of their Series B Shares, on a one-for-one basis, into Series A Shares. On August 7, 2025, Emera announced, after having taken into account all shares tendered for conversion by holders of its Series A Shares and Series B Shares, as the case may be (collectively, the “Holders”), by the end of the conversion period, the Company has determined that there would be outstanding on the Conversion Date less than 1 million Series B Shares. Therefore, in accordance with certain rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Series A Shares and the Series B Shares, the Company advised the Holders that no Series A Shares would be converted into Series B Shares and all remaining Series B Shares would automatically be converted into Series A Shares on a one-for-one basis on the Conversion Date. On the Conversion Date, there were 6 million Series A Shares and no Series B Shares outstanding.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

In the ordinary course of business, Emera provides energy and other services and enters into transactions with its subsidiaries, associates and other related companies on terms similar to those offered to non-related parties. Intercompany balances and intercompany transactions have been eliminated on consolidation, except for the net profit on certain transactions between non-regulated and regulated entities, in accordance with accounting standards for rate-regulated entities. All material amounts are under normal interest and credit terms.

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 September 30, 2025, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting in accordance with USGAAP.

 

29


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 ended June 30, 2025. Since this time, the Company has restored certain financial systems and transitioned back from corresponding business continuity processes, which resulted in a material change in the Company’s ICFR at its Canadian affiliates during the quarter ended September 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 September 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.

 

30


Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The standard update modernizes accounting for internal-use software by eliminating references to project stages and clarifying the threshold to begin capitalizing costs. The standard update also specifies that the disclosure requirements under ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, apply to capitalized software costs accounted under ASC 350-40. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The standard updates are to be applied using either a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of the standard update on its consolidated financial statements.

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.

Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024

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

Q2 2025 compared to Q2 2024

Q2 2025 net income attributable to common shareholders increased by $6 million primarily due to decreased MTM losses; increased earnings at TEC, EES, and NMGC; higher Corporate income tax recovery; and decreased Corporate OM&G. These were partially offset by the gain on sale of LIL recognized in Q2 2024; charges related to the pending sale of NMGC recognized in Q2 2025; lower earnings at NSPI; decreased equity earnings from LIL; and increased Corporate interest expense. Q2 2025 EPS – basic and diluted were consistent with Q2 2024.

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.
