AQN's operations are organized in three business units consisting of: (i) the Regulated Services Group, which primarily owns and operates a portfolio of regulated electric, water distribution and wastewater collection, and natural gas utility systems and transmission operations in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Chile; the Hydro Group, consisting of 14 hydroelectric generating facilities located in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick and Quebec; and the Corporate Group, which includes corporate and service companies as well as the Company’s investment in Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc (“Atlantica”). In prior periods, AQN included the Renewable Energy Group as a reportable segment, however, as of September 30, 2024 the assets and liabilities of this segment (excluding the Hydro Group) have been presented as held for sale and its net earnings have been reported as discontinued operations (the “discontinued operations”) (see note 21).

1.Significant accounting policies
(a)Basis of preparation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and follow disclosure required under Regulation S-X provided by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of AQN as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are of a recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim operations.
The significant accounting policies applied to these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of AQN are consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of AQN as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.
(b)Seasonality
AQN's operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations that could materially impact quarter-to-quarter operating results and, thus, one quarter’s operating results are not necessarily indicative of a subsequent quarter's operating results. Where decoupling mechanisms exist, total volumetric revenue is prescribed by the applicable regulatory authority and is not affected by usage. AQN’s electrical distribution utilities can experience higher or lower demand in the summer or winter depending on the specific regional weather and industry characteristics. AQN’s water and wastewater utility assets’ revenues fluctuate depending on the demand for water, which is normally higher during the drier and hotter months of the summer. During the winter period, natural gas distribution utilities generally experience higher demand than during the summer period. AQN’s hydroelectric energy assets are primarily "run-of-river" and, as such, fluctuate with the natural water flows. During the winter and summer periods, flows are generally slower, while during the spring and fall periods flows are heavier. For AQN's wind energy assets, wind resources are typically stronger in spring, fall and winter, and weaker in summer. AQN's solar energy assets generally experience greater insolation in summer, weaker in winter.
(c)Foreign currency translation
AQN’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Within these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company denotes any amounts denominated in Canadian dollars with "C$", in Chilean pesos with "CLP" and in Chilean Unidad de Fomento with "CLF" immediately prior to the stated amount.

1.Significant accounting policies (continued)
(d)Discontinued Operations
On August 9, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its renewable energy business (excluding hydro) to a wholly-owned subsidiary of LS Power (“LS Buyer”). The Company concluded that the consolidated assets within the renewable energy business being sold have met the accounting requirements to be presented as “Held for Sale” in the third quarter of 2024 based on the receipt of final commercial terms, approval of the board of directors of the Company to consummate the transaction, and the signing of the sale agreement all occurring within this quarter. As a result, the renewable energy business (excluding hydro) has been classified as "discontinued operations".
AQN has elected to present the cash flows of discontinued operations combined with cash flows of continuing operations. No interest from corporate level debt was allocated to discontinued operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax on AQN’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, includes amounts related to non-controlling interests. A portion of non-controlling interest on AQN’s consolidated balance sheet relates to discontinued operations for the periods presented.
Unless otherwise noted, the notes to these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements exclude amounts related to discontinued operations for all periods presented.
See note 21 for discussion of discontinued operations related to the disposition of the renewable energy business.
2.     Recently issued accounting pronouncements
(a)Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
There were no accounting pronouncements adopted in the current period.    
(b)Recently issued accounting guidance not yet adopted
There were no recently issued accounting guidance not yet adopted in the current period.
3.Business acquisitions and dispositions
There were no acquisitions or dispositions as part of the continuing operations during the quarter. See note 21 for a discussion of the disposition of the renewable energy business and acquisitions related to discontinued operations.
4.Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable as of September 30, 2024 include unbilled revenue of $93,619 (December 31, 2023 - $107,001) from the Company’s regulated utilities. Accounts receivable as of September 30, 2024 are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $30,191 (December 31, 2023 - $29,764).
5.Regulatory matters
The operating companies within the Regulated Services Group are subject to regulation by the respective regulators of the jurisdictions in which they operate. The respective regulators have jurisdiction with respect to rate, service, accounting policies, issuance of securities, acquisitions and other matters. Except for Suralis, these utilities operate under cost-of-service regulation as administered by these authorities. The Company’s regulated utility operating companies are accounted for under the principles of Regulated Operations (“ASC 980”). Under ASC 980, regulatory assets and liabilities that would not be recorded under U.S. GAAP for non-regulated entities are recorded to the extent that they represent incurred charges or credits that are probable of being recovered from or refunded to customers through the rate setting process.
At any given time, the Company can have several regulatory proceedings underway. The financial effects of these proceedings are reflected in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on regulatory approval obtained to the extent that there is a financial impact during the applicable reporting period.

As recovery of regulatory assets is subject to regulatory approval, if there were any changes in regulatory positions that indicate recovery is not probable, the related cost would be charged to earnings in the period of such determination. The Company generally does not earn a return on the regulatory balances except for carrying charges on fuel and commodity cost adjustments, rate adjustment mechanism, clean energy and other customer programs, and rate review costs of some jurisdictions. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $5,719 and $18,448, respectively (2023 - $11,514 and $29,415, respectively) of carrying charges on regulatory balances on the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations under other income, which was computed using only the debt component of the allowed returned.

5.Regulatory matters (continued)
(a)Securitized costs, net
On January 30, 2024, The Empire District Electric Company securitized, through the issuance of bonds (see note 7(e)), $301,463 of qualified extraordinary costs associated with the February 2021 extreme winter storm conditions experienced in Texas and parts of the central U.S. (the “Midwest Extreme Weather Event”) and energy transition costs related to the retirement of the Asbury generating plant. The securitized costs will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the bonds. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, $3,546 and $11,592, respectively were recorded as amortization expense in the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations under depreciation and amortization. The bonds will be paid through Securitized Utility Tariff Charges, which are designed to recover the full scheduled principal amount of the bonds along with any associated interest and financing costs.
(b)     Wildfire mitigation and vegetation management
On July 12, 2019, California Assembly Bill 1054 (“AB 1054”) was enacted. Pursuant to AB 1054, an electrical corporation may petition the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) for recovery of costs and expenses arising from a covered wildfire and the CPUC may approve recovery of such costs and expenses that are just and reasonable. Liberty CalPeco tracks its wildfire expense (such as payments to satisfy wildfire claims, including any deductibles, co-insurance and other insurance expense paid, outside legal expense incurred in defense of wildfire claims, payments made for wildfire insurance and related risk-transfer mechanisms and the cost of financing these amounts) through a Wildfire Expense Memorandum Account ("WEMA"). The standard for cost recovery under AB 1054 has not been interpreted or applied by the CPUC. The Company will continue to evaluate the probability of recovery based on available evidence and applicable legal determinations.
In relation to the Mountain View Fire, the Company accrued estimated losses of $172,300 for claims arising out of the Mountain View Fire, against which it recorded expected recoveries through insurance of $116,000 and WEMA of $56,300. During the quarter, the Company paid $136,500 related to these claims and received insurance recoveries of $116,000. While the Company plans to seek recovery of the estimated losses in excess of the available insurance, it is subject to approval by the CPUC pursuant to the standard in AB 1054. Refer to Note 18(a) for details.

Long-term debt issued at a subsidiary level (project notes or utility bonds) relating to a specific operating facility is generally collateralized by the respective facility with no other recourse to the Company. Long-term debt issued at a subsidiary level whether or not collateralized generally has certain financial covenants, which must be maintained on a quarterly basis. Non-compliance with the covenants could restrict cash distributions/dividends to the Company from the specific facilities.

14.Income taxes
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the income tax expense (recovery) in the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations represents an effective tax rate different than the Canadian enacted statutory rate of 26.5%. The differences are as follows:

Income tax expense (recovery)
$6,362 $(40,755)$33,273 $(50,025)
The Company’s overall deferred tax asset position related to Canadian attributes increased from $150,007 to $165,411 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the losses incurred in Canada during the period. As at September 30, 2024, it is considered more likely than not that there will be sufficient taxable income in the future that will allow realization of these deferred tax assets. The Company considered all evidence, both positive and negative, including the announcement of the sale of the renewable energy business, the timing and use of proceeds from the sale of Atlantica and the renewable energy business, the availability of tax planning strategies and the carryforward period of its Canadian net operating losses in making this assessment. The Company will continue to monitor this position at each balance sheet date.
Discontinued operations
Income tax recovery reflected in discontinued operations is $47,975 and $35,041 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As discussed in note 21, on August 9, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its renewable energy business (excluding hydro) which will be treated as an equity sale for income tax purposes. Primarily because of the impairment charge recorded during the period ended September 30, 2024, the financial reporting basis of the net assets being held for sale is estimated to be less than the tax basis in the equity units. Given we cannot ascertain if the resulting deferred tax asset for the excess of the tax basis in the equity over the accounting basis in the net assets is recoverable, we have recorded a full valuation allowance on the resulting deferred tax asset.

16.Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share have been calculated on the basis of earnings (loss) attributable to the common shareholders of the Company and the weighted average number of common shares and bonus deferral restricted share units outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares, additional shares issued subsequent to quarter-end under the dividend reinvestment plan, and, if dilutive, potential incremental common shares related to the convertible debentures or resulting from the application of the treasury stock method to the Green Equity Units (note 7) and the weighted average number of outstanding share options, PSUs, RSUs and DSUs outstanding during the period.
The reconciliation of the net earnings (loss) and the weighted average shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are as follows:

17.Segmented information
As a result of the classification of the renewable energy business (excluding hydro) as discontinued operations during the period, the Regulated Services Group is the only reportable operating segment of the Company. However, management has elected to disclose the “Hydro Group” as a reportable operating segment which includes the non-regulated hydro assets that are not being sold as a part of the sale of the renewable energy group. Non-operating segments include the corporate activities of the Company which are reported under the “Corporate Group”.
The Regulated Services Group, the Company's regulated operating unit, primarily owns and operates a portfolio of regulated electric, water distribution and wastewater collection and natural gas utility systems and transmission operations in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Chile.
For purposes of evaluating the performance of the business unit, the Company allocates the realized portion of any gains or losses on financial instruments to the specific business unit. Interest income from San Antonio Water System is included in the operations of the Regulated Services Group. Equity method gains and losses are included in the operations of the Regulated Services Group. Dividend income from Atlantica is reported and allocated under the Corporate Group. The change in value of investments carried at fair value, unrealized portion of any gains or losses on derivative instruments not designated in a hedging relationship and foreign exchange gains and losses are not considered in management’s evaluation of divisional performance and are, therefore, allocated and reported under the Corporate Group.

18.Commitments and contingencies
(a)Contingencies
AQN and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and litigation arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of its business. Although such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider AQN’s exposure to such litigation to be material to these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Accruals for any contingencies related to these items are recorded in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements at the time it is concluded that their occurrence is probable and the related liability is estimable.
Mountain View Fire
On November 17, 2020, a wildfire now known as the Mountain View Fire occurred in the territory of Liberty Utilities (CalPeco Electric) LLC ("Liberty CalPeco"). The cause of the fire remains in dispute, and CAL FIRE has not yet released its final report. There were 22 lawsuits filed that name certain subsidiaries of the Company as defendants in connection with the Mountain View Fire, as well as a non-litigation claim brought by the U.S. Department of Agriculture seeking reimbursement for alleged fire suppression costs and a notice from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management seeking damages for the alleged burning of public lands without authorization. Fifteen lawsuits were brought by groups of individual plaintiffs and a Native American group alleging causes of action including negligence, inverse condemnation, nuisance, trespass, and violations of Cal. Pub. Util. Code 2106 and Cal. Health and Safety Code 13007 (one of these 15 lawsuits also alleges the wrongful death of an individual and various subrogation claims on behalf of insurance companies). In six other lawsuits, insurance companies alleged inverse condemnation and negligence and seek recovery of amounts paid and to be paid to their insureds. In one other lawsuit, County of Mono, Antelope Valley Fire Protection District, and Bridgeport Indian Colony allege similar causes of action and seek damages for fire suppression costs, law enforcement costs, property and infrastructure damage, and other costs. Liberty CalPeco has resolved 20 of the lawsuits, and Liberty CalPeco is in the process of obtaining dismissals with prejudice of said lawsuits. Trial on the remaining two lawsuits is currently expected in January 2025. The likelihood of success in these lawsuits is uncertain. Liberty CalPeco intends to vigorously defend them. The Company accrued estimated losses of $172,300 for claims related to the Mountain View Fire, against which Liberty CalPeco has recorded recoveries through insurance of $116,000 and WEMA of $56,300. The resulting net charge to earnings was $nil. The estimate of losses is subject to change as additional information becomes available. The actual amount of losses may be higher or lower than these estimates. While the Company may incur a material loss in excess of the amount accrued, the Company cannot estimate the upper end of the range of reasonably possible losses that may be incurred. The Company has wildfire liability insurance that was applied up to applicable policy limits.

20.    Financial instruments (continued)
(a)Fair value of financial instruments (continued)
The Company has determined that the carrying value of its short-term financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The fair value of the investment in Atlantica (level 1) is measured at the closing price on the NASDAQ stock exchange.
The fair value of development loans and other receivables (level 2) is determined using a discounted cash flow method, using estimated current market rates for similar instruments adjusted for estimated credit risk as determined by management. 
The Company’s level 1 fair value of long-term debt is measured at the closing price on the NYSE and the Canadian over-the-counter closing price. The Company’s level 2 fair value of long-term debt at fixed interest rates has been determined using a discounted cash flow method and current interest rates. The Company's level 2 fair value of convertible debentures has been determined as the greater of their face value and the quoted value of AQN's common shares on a converted basis.
The Company’s level 2 fair value derivative instruments primarily consist of swaps, options, and forward physical derivatives where market data for pricing inputs are observable. Level 2 pricing inputs are obtained from various market indices and utilize discounting based on quoted interest rate curves, which are observable in the marketplace.
The Company does not hold level 3 financial instruments.
(b)Derivative instruments
Derivative instruments are recognized on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value at each reporting period.
(i)Commodity derivatives – regulated accounting
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce the cash flow variability associated with the purchase price for a portion of future natural gas purchases associated with its regulated natural gas and electric service territories. The Company’s strategy is to minimize fluctuations in natural gas sale prices to regulated customers. As at September 30, 2024, the commodity volume, in dekatherms, associated with the above derivative contracts was 2,807,898.
The accounting for these derivative instruments is subject to guidance for rate regulated enterprises. Therefore, the fair value of these derivatives is recorded as current or long-term assets and liabilities, with
offsetting positions recorded as regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. Most of the gains or losses on the settlement of these contracts are included in the calculation of the fuel and commodity cost adjustments. As a result, the changes in fair value of these natural gas derivative contracts and their offsetting adjustment to regulatory assets and liabilities had no earnings impact.
(ii)Cash flow hedges
The Company mitigates the risk that interest rates will increase over the life of certain term loan facilities by entering into the following interest rate swap contracts. For an interest rate swap or cross-currency interest rate swap designated as hedging the exposure to variable cash flows of a future transaction, the effective portion of this derivative's gain or loss is initially reported as a component of OCI and subsequently reclassified into earnings once the future transaction impacts earnings. Amounts for interest rate contracts are reclassified to earnings as interest expense over the term of the related debt.

OCI attributable to shareholders of AQN$(5,990)$13,985 $32,662 $68,271 
The Company expects $40,942 of unrealized losses currently in AOCI to be reclassified, net of taxes, into non-regulated energy sales, investment loss, interest expense and derivative gains, within the next 12 months, as the underlying hedged transactions settle.
(iii)Foreign exchange hedge of net investment in foreign operation
The functional currency of most of AQN's operations is the U.S. dollar. The Company designates obligations denominated in Canadian dollars as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in its Canadian investments and subsidiaries. The related foreign currency transaction gain or loss designated as, and effective as, a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation is reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. A foreign currency loss of $4,070 and a gain of $6,116 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, (2023 - gains of $9,951 and $583, respectively) were recorded in OCI.
On May 23, 2019, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap, coterminous with the subordinated unsecured notes issued on such date, to effectively convert the $350,000 U.S.-dollar-denominated offering into Canadian dollars. The change in the carrying amount of the notes due to changes in spot exchange rates was recognized each period in the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as loss on foreign exchange. The Company designated the entire notional amount of the cross-currency fixed-for-fixed interest rate swap as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure related to cash flows for the interest and principal repayments on the notes. Upon the change in functional currency of AQN to the U.S. dollar on January 1, 2020, this hedge was dedesignated. The Company redesignated this swap as a hedge of AQN's net investment in its Canadian subsidiaries. The related foreign currency transaction gain or loss designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation is reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment and expected to be reclassified to profit and loss as part of the gains(losses) on disposition of the net investment in its Canadian subsidiary which has been reclassified to discontinued operations. The fair value of the derivative on the redesignation date will be amortized over the remaining life of the original hedge. Foreign currency loss of $161and gain of $5,848 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively (2023 - losses of $1,528 and $8,537, respectively) was recorded in OCI.

Chilean operations
The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations from its Chilean-based operations. The Company's Chilean operations are determined to have the Chilean peso as their functional currency. Chilean long-term debt used to finance the operations is denominated in Chilean Unidad de Fomento.
(iv)Other derivatives and risk management
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to financial risks that potentially impact its operating results. The Company employs risk management strategies with a view to mitigating these risks to the extent possible on a cost-effective basis. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage certain exposures to fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company does not enter into derivative financial agreements for speculative purposes. For derivatives that are not designated as hedges, the changes in the fair value are immediately recognized in earnings.
The effects on the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations of derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges consist of the following:

Gain on derivative financial instruments$278 $729 $469 $3,934 
(c)Supplier financing programs
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into supplier financing programs under which the suppliers can voluntarily elect to sell their receivables. The Company agrees to pay, on the invoice maturity date, the stated amount of the invoices that the Company has confirmed through the execution of bills of exchange. The terms of the trade payable arrangement are consistent with customary industry practice and are not impacted by the supplier’s decision to sell amounts under these arrangements. As of September 30, 2024, accounts payable include confirmed invoices from designated suppliers of $80,546 (December 31, 2023 $62,173).
21.Assets held for sale
On August 9, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its renewable energy business (excluding hydro) to LS Buyer for total cash consideration of up to $2,500,000 (subject to certain closing adjustments), excluding debt, consisting of $2,280,000 in cash at closing and up to $220,000 in cash pursuant to an earn out agreement relating to certain wind assets (the “Earn Out”). The renewable energy business primarily owns and operates, or has investments in, a diversified portfolio of non-regulated renewable and thermal energy generation assets.
The sale remains subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions, including the approval of the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The Company expects the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2024 or the first quarter of 2025 and to receive cash proceeds of approximately $1,600,000 to 1,800,000 (excluding the Earn Out) after repaying construction financing, and net of taxes, transaction fees and other closing adjustments.
The renewable energy business (excluding hydro) was classified as held for sale and as discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2024. No adjustments were made to the historical activity within the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows or the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity. Unless otherwise noted, the notes to these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements exclude amounts related to discontinued operations for all periods presented.

(i)Discontinuation of hedge accounting: renewable energy business
The Canadian dollar debt within the renewable energy business and the related cross currency interest rate swaps were classified as held for sale. A C$700,000 portion of the Canadian dollar debt was hedged using cross currency interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting was discontinued on the cross currency interest rate swaps when the renewable energy business was classified as held for sale as the forecasted transaction being hedged is no longer probable. As a result, a loss of $16,685, net of tax, was recorded in loss from discontinued operations due to the reclassification of the cash flow hedge reserve from other comprehensive income into earnings.
