These statements are based on factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including assumptions based on historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments. Since forward-looking statements relate to future events and conditions, by their nature they rely on assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. AQN cautions that although it is believed that the assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances, actual results may differ materially from the expectations set out in the forward-looking statements. Material risk factors and assumptions include those set out in this presentation or contained in AQN’s preliminary short form prospectus dated the date hereof, AQN’s Management Discussion and Analysis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 (the “Interim MD&A”), AQN’s Management Discussion and Analysis for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020 (the “Annual MD&A”), and AQN’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2020, each filed with securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States.

The terms “Adjusted Net Earnings” and “Adjusted Net EPS” are not recognized measures under U.S. GAAP. There is no standardized measure of “Adjusted Net Earnings” or “Adjusted Net EPS”; consequently, AQN’s method of calculating these measures may differ from methods used by other companies and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
