NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(UNAUDITED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2026
(Tabular amounts in millions of Canadian Dollars, except as otherwise noted)
- THE COMPANY AND ITS OPERATIONS
ATCO Ltd. was incorporated under the laws of the province of Alberta and is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Its head office and registered office are at 4th Floor, West Building, 5302 Forand Street SW, Calgary, Alberta T3E 8B4. ATCO Ltd. is controlled by Sentgraf Enterprises Ltd. and its controlling share owner, the Southern family.
ATCO Ltd. is engaged in the following business activities:
Structures & Logistics (workforce and residential housing, innovative modular facilities, construction, site support services, workforce lodging services, facility operations and maintenance, defence operations services, and disaster and emergency management services);
Neltume Ports (ports and transportation logistics) (included in ATCO Investments);
Retail Energy (electricity and natural gas retail sales, and home maintenance solutions) (included in ATCO Investments); and
Canadian Utilities Limited, including:
ATCO Energy Systems (electricity and natural gas transmission and distribution, and international electricity operations);
ATCO EnPower (energy storage, electricity generation, industrial water solutions, and cleaner fuels);
ATCO Australia (natural gas distribution and electricity generation operations); and
Financing & Other (corporate financing, headquarters and support functions).
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ATCO Ltd., its subsidiaries, and the accounts of its investments in joint arrangements and an associate company. In these financial statements, "the Company" means ATCO Ltd., its subsidiaries, joint arrangements and the associate company.
Principal operating subsidiaries are:
Canadian Utilities Limited (52.4 per cent owned) and its subsidiaries; and
ATCO Structures & Logistics Ltd. and its subsidiaries.
- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared according to International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS Accounting Standards). They do not include all the disclosures required in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, prepared according to IFRS Accounting Standards.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared following the same accounting policies used in the Company's most recent annual consolidated financial statements, except for the adoption of amended accounting standards as set out below and income taxes. In interim periods, income taxes are accrued using an estimate of the annualized effective tax rate applied to year-to-date earnings.
The Board of Directors (Board) authorized these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for issue on November 5, 2026.
BASIS OF MEASUREMENTThe unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis, except for marketable securities, derivative financial instruments, retirement benefit obligations and cash-settled share-based compensation liabilities which are carried at remeasured amounts or fair value.
Revenues, earnings and adjusted earnings for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of operations on an annual basis. Quarterly financial results may be affected by the seasonal nature of the Company's operations, the timing of utility rate decisions, the timing and demand of natural gas storage capacity sold and changes in natural gas storage fees, the amount of sunlight, wind and water available to produce renewable energy and changes in market conditions for workforce housing and space rentals operations.
USE OF JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATESManagement makes judgments and estimates that could materially affect how policies are applied, how amounts in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are reported, and how contingent assets and liabilities are disclosed. Judgments and estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis; changes to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively. The judgments in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were the same as those described in the most recent annual consolidated financial statements.
ADOPTION OF AMENDED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Agreements referencing nature-dependent electricityThe Company has adopted the amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, that are effective January 1, 2026. The amendments improve the reporting of the financial effects of nature-dependent electricity agreements, often structured as power purchase agreements. The amendments clarify the application of the own-use requirements, permit hedge accounting when these agreements are used as hedging instruments, and introduce new disclosure requirements to assist users of financial statements in understanding the effects of these agreements. The adoption of the amendments did not have a significant impact on the Company's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
Settlement by electronic paymentsThe Company has adopted the amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, that are effective January 1, 2026. The amendments clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for financial liabilities settled using electronic forms of payment. The adoption of the amendments did not have a significant impact on the Company's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
IFRS ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED Presentation and disclosure in financial statementsIn April 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which will replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 sets out the requirements for presentation and disclosures in financial statements with a focus on the income statement and reporting of management-defined performance measures (MPM). The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 and requires retrospective application to comparative financial information.
Based on the assessment completed to date, the changes will primarily be related to the presentation and labelling of certain financial statement line items, the aggregation and disaggregation of information within the primary financial statements, and the introduction of the new required subtotals in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The primary impact on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows includes the use of operating profit as the starting point for the reconciliation of cash flows from operating activities and the reclassification of interest and dividends received from operating activities to investing activities. The Company has preliminarily identified adjusted earnings as an MPM.
To facilitate the transition to IFRS 18, the project team of the Company continues to evaluate the impact on financial reporting systems, accounting processes and disclosures in preparation for adoption on January 1, 2027.
Regulatory assets and regulatory liabilitiesIn May 2026, the IASB issued IFRS 20, Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities, which establishes requirements for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of regulatory assets, regulatory liabilities and related income and expense arising from rate-regulated activities. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2029, with earlier adoption permitted.
The Company is evaluating the impact of IFRS 20 on its consolidated financial statements. The adoption of the standard is expected to affect the accounting for the Company's rate-regulated activities in the ATCO Energy Systems and ATCO Australia segments.

ADJUSTED EARNINGSAdjusted earnings are earnings attributable to Class I and Class II Shares after adjusting for:
the timing of revenues and expenses for rate-regulated activities;
one-time gains and losses;
unrealized gains and losses on mark-to-market forward and swap commodity contracts;
impairments; and
items that are not in the normal course of business or a result of day-to-day operations.
Adjusted earnings are a key measure of segment earnings used by the Chief Executive Officer and other members of the Executive Committee (the "Senior Management Team") to assess segment performance and allocate resources. Other accounts in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have not been adjusted as they are not used by the Senior Management Team for those purposes.

In May 2025, the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) issued its PBR2 re-opener decision, directing ATCO Electric Distribution and ATCO Gas Distribution to refund $35 million and $36 million, respectively, to customers over the six-month period from September 1, 2025 to February 28, 2026. The Company appealed the decision to the Alberta Court of Appeal (ABCA) and refunded the amounts as directed by the AUC while the appeal was pending. These refunds to customers were reflected as adjustments in rate-regulated activities, as they were recognized as reductions of revenue under IFRS Accounting Standards.
In September 2026, the ABCA upheld the AUC's PBR2 re-opener decision, resulting in a reduction of adjusted earnings to reverse the impact of the rate-regulated adjustment related to refunds to customers (see rate-regulated activities section below). However, as the financial impacts of $15 million (after-tax and non-controlling interests (NCI)) for ATCO Electric Distribution and $15 million (after-tax and NCI) for ATCO Gas Distribution arose from this one-time PBR2 re-opener ABCA
decision, these amounts are not indicative of day-to-day operations and as such, have been excluded from adjusted earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Other post-employment benefitsThe Government of Alberta's Health Statutes Amendment Act, 2025 (No. 2) (Bill 11) changes the coordination of benefits between employer-sponsored health plans and certain provincial health programs. As a result, the Company recognized a $41 million ($18 million after-tax and NCI) past service cost adjustment related to its other post-employment benefits obligation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. As the impact arises from a one-time legislative change, the amount has been excluded from adjusted earnings.
ImpairmentsIn September 2026, ATCO Investments exited its packaged food services and geospatial data services businesses as part of a change in strategic direction. As a result, the Company recognized a $9 million (after-tax) charge for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, related to assets that no longer have any economic value and related exit costs. As these costs were not in the normal course of business, they have been excluded from adjusted earnings.
Unrealized gains and losses on mark-to-market forward and swap commodity contractsThe Company's electricity generation and electricity and natural gas retail businesses enter into fixed-price swap commodity contracts to manage exposure to electricity and natural gas prices and volumes. These contracts are measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses due to changes in the fair value of fixed-price swap commodity contracts where hedge accounting is not applied, or due to hedge ineffectiveness where hedge accounting is applied, together with reclassifications of unrealized gains or losses from other comprehensive income or loss related to both the electricity generation business and retail business, are recognized in the ATCO EnPower and ATCO Investments segments, respectively.
The Senior Management Team believes that removal of the unrealized gains and losses on mark-to-market forward and swap commodity contracts from the determination of adjusted earnings provides a better representation of operating results for the Company's operations.
Realized gains or losses are recognized in adjusted earnings when the commodity contracts are settled.
Rate-regulated activitiesATCO Electric Transmission, ATCO Electric Distribution, ATCO Electric Yukon, Naka Power Utilities (NWT), ATCO Gas, ATCO Pipelines and ATCO Gas Australia are collectively referred to as the Regulated Utilities.
IFRS 20, Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities (IFRS 20), was issued in May 2026 and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2029. The Company is in the process of evaluating IFRS 20 and given that the Company has not yet adopted this accounting standard, the Regulated Utilities continue to be unable to recognize regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities from rate-regulated activities as may be directed by regulatory decisions. Instead, for IFRS purposes, the Regulated Utilities recognize revenues in earnings when amounts are billed to customers, consistent with the regulator-approved rate design. Operating costs and expenses are recorded when incurred. Costs incurred in constructing an asset that meet the asset recognition criteria are included in the related property, plant and equipment or intangible asset.
Until the Company adopts IFRS 20, the Company considers standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in the United States as another source of generally accepted accounting principles taking into account a more likely than not recognition threshold in accounting for rate-regulated activities in its internal reporting provided to the Senior Management Team, which believes that earnings presented in this manner are a better representation of the operating results of the Company's rate-regulated activities. Therefore, the Company presents adjusted earnings as part of its segmented disclosures on this basis. Rate-regulated accounting (RRA) standards impact the timing of how certain revenues and expenses are recognized when compared to non-rate-regulated activities, to appropriately reflect the economic impact of a regulator's decisions on revenues.
Rate-regulated accounting differs from IFRS Accounting Standards (pre-adoption of IFRS 20) in the following ways:
IFRS Accounting Standards Treatment
Timing Adjustment Items RRA Treatment (Pre-adoption of IFRS 20)
Additional revenues billed in current period
Revenues to be billed in future periods
Regulatory decisions received
Settlement of regulatory decisions and other items
Future removal and site restoration costs, and impact of colder temperatures.
Deferred income taxes, impact of warmer temperatures, and impact of inflation on rate base.
Regulatory decisions received which relate to current and prior periods.
Settlement of amounts receivable or payable to customers and other items.
The Company defers the recognition of cash received in advance of future expenditures.
The Company recognizes revenues associated with recoverable costs in advance of future billings to customers.
The Company recognizes the earnings impact from a regulatory decision pertaining to current and prior periods when the decision is received.
The Company recognizes the amount receivable or payable to customers as a reduction in its regulatory assets and liabilities when collected or refunded through future billings.
The Company recognizes revenues when amounts are billed to customers and costs when they are incurred.
The Company recognizes costs when they are incurred, but does not recognize their recovery until customer rates are changed and amounts are collected through future billings.
The Company does not recognize the earnings impact from a regulatory decision when it is received as regulatory assets and liabilities are not recorded under IFRS Accounting Standards.
The Company recognizes the earnings impact when customer rates are changed and amounts are recovered or refunded to customers through future billings.
The significant timing adjustments as a result of the differences between rate-regulated accounting and IFRS Accounting Standards (pre-adoption of IFRS 20) are as follows:

Removal and site restoration costs are billed to customers over the estimated useful life of the related assets based on forecast costs to be incurred in future periods.
Income taxes are billed to customers when paid by the Company.
ATCO Gas Distribution's customer rates are based on a forecast of normal temperatures. Fluctuations in temperatures may result in more or less revenue being recovered from customers than forecast. Revenues above or below the normal temperatures in the current period are refunded to or recovered from customers in future periods.
The inflation-indexed portion of ATCO Gas Australia's (part of ATCO Australia) rate base is billed to customers through the recovery of depreciation in subsequent periods based on the actual or forecasted annual rate of inflation. Under rate-regulated accounting, revenue is recognized in the current period for the inflation component of rate base when it is earned. Differences between the amounts earned and the amounts billed to customers are deferred and recognized in revenues over the service life of the related asset.
In connection with the PBR2 re-opener decision rendered by the AUC on May 28, 2025, ATCO Electric Distribution and ATCO Gas Distribution refunded $5 million (after-tax and NCI) and $6 million (after-tax and NCI), respectively, to customers for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 (2025 - $2 million (after-tax and NCI) and $2 million (after-tax and NCI)). Combined with the amounts refunded to customers for the year ended December 31, 2025, ATCO Electric Distribution and ATCO Gas Distribution have now refunded the total amount that was directed by the AUC in the PBR2 re-opener decision, which
was $15 million (after-tax and NCI) ($35 million before tax and NCI) for ATCO Electric Distribution and $15 million (after-tax and NCI) ($36 million before tax and NCI) for ATCO Gas Distribution.
Following the September 3, 2026 ABCA decision upholding the AUC's PBR2 re-opener decision, the $71 million ($30 million after-tax and NCI) previously refunded to customers is no longer considered recoverable, resulting in a $30 million (after-tax and NCI) reduction in adjusted earnings.
The three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 include an increase in earnings for the period of $8 million (after-tax and NCI) related to the Yellowhead Pipeline deferral, reflecting a future refund to customers. The Yellowhead Pipeline deferral is intended to capture the difference between the actual project spend and the estimated project spend reflected in revenues approved to be recovered from customers.
Consistent with the treatment of the gain on sale in 2014 from the IT services business by the Company, financial impacts associated with the IT Common Matters decision are excluded from adjusted earnings. The amount excluded from adjusted earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was nil and $2 million (after-tax and NCI) (2025 - $1 million and $2 million (after-tax and NCI)).
Transition of managed IT servicesFor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized IT transition costs of $1 million (after-tax and NCI) and $9 million (after-tax and NCI). The transition costs were primarily related to activities to shift from a single-vendor service provider to a hybrid model of multiple new vendors and internal teams. The transition activities commenced on January 1, 2025 and were substantially complete at December 31, 2025. As these costs were not in the normal course of business, they were excluded from adjusted earnings.
RestructuringFor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded restructuring costs of nil and $8 million (after-tax and NCI) that were mainly related to staff reductions and associated severance costs. As these costs were not in the normal course of business, they were excluded from adjusted earnings.

The lender is not in a position to confirm a waiver of any events of default through September 30, 2027. As such, the loan has been classified as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2026.
Except for the Deerfoot Barlow Solar Project Finance Debt, the Company complied with externally imposed requirements on its capital, including financial covenants related to long-term debt, credit facilities and project financings, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, and otherwise expects to remain in compliance over the next year.

- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Financial instruments are measured at amortized cost or fair value. Fair value represents the estimated amounts at which financial instruments could be exchanged between knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm's length transaction.
Determining fair value requires management judgment. The valuation methods used to determine the fair value of each financial instrument and its associated level in the fair value hierarchy are described below.
Financial Instruments Fair Value Method
Measured at Amortized Cost
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and contract assets, bank indebtedness and accounts payable and accrued liabilities
Assumed to approximate carrying value due to their short-term nature.
Finance lease receivables Determined using a risk-adjusted interest rate to discount future cash receipts (Level 2).
Long-term debt and long-term advances due from joint venture
Determined using quoted market prices for the same or similar issues. Where the market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company's current borrowing rate for similar borrowing arrangements (Level 2).
Measured at Fair Value
Marketable securities Determined using quoted market prices for the same or similar securities or alternative pricing sources and models with inputs validated by publicly available market providers (Level 2).
Interest rate swaps Determined using interest rate forward rate yield curves at period-end (Level 2).
Foreign currency contracts Determined using quoted forward exchange rates at period-end (Level 2).
Commodity contracts Determined using observable period-end forward curves and quoted spot market prices with inputs validated by publicly available market providers (Level 2).
Determined based on period-end forward curves using unobservable inputs or extrapolation from spot or forward prices in certain commodity contracts (Level 3).
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT AMORTIZED COSTThe fair values of the Company's financial instruments measured at amortized cost are as follows:

Derivative financial instrumentsThe Company's derivative financial instruments measured at fair value include the following:
interest rate swaps for the purpose of limiting interest rate risk on the variable future cash flows of long-term debt;
foreign currency forward contracts for the purpose of limiting exposure to exchange rate fluctuations; and

Under the PPAs, Canadian Utilities Limited will receive a fixed price per megawatt hour (MWh) and pay the settled price per MWh from the Alberta Electric System Operator as well as deliver the related renewable energy credits to the PPA counterparty customers. The energy components of the PPAs were designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.

- SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On October 6, 2026, ATCO Ltd. (ATCO), Canadian Utilities Limited (Canadian Utilities), Emera Incorporated (Emera) and 2856571 Alberta Ltd. (New ATCO) entered into an arrangement agreement (the Arrangement Agreement) providing for, among other things, the proposed merger of Emera and Canadian Utilities. The Arrangement Agreement requires Emera to acquire: (a) all of the issued and outstanding Class I non-voting shares of ATCO (the ATCO Class I Shares) and Class II voting shares of ATCO (the ATCO Class II Shares); and (b) all of the issued and outstanding Class A non-voting shares of Canadian Utilities (the Canadian Utilities Class A Shares) and Class B common shares of Canadian Utilities (the Canadian Utilities Class B Shares) not held by ATCO, pursuant to a court-approved arrangement (the Arrangement) under section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act.
In addition, pursuant to the Arrangement, ATCO will spin out its industrial services businesses focused on housing, defence and other investments, including ports and retail energy, subject to and in accordance with the terms of a separation agreement to be entered into by ATCO and New ATCO on the effective date of the Arrangement.
Under the terms of the Arrangement: (a) the holders of ATCO Class I Shares will receive 0.865 of a common share of Emera (the Emera Shares) and one Class I non-voting share of New ATCO (the New ATCO Class I Shares) for each ATCO Class I Share held; (b) the holders of ATCO Class II Shares will receive 0.865 of an Emera Share and one Class II voting share of New ATCO (the New ATCO Class II Shares) for each ATCO Class II Share held; (c) the holders of Canadian Utilities Class A Shares (other than ATCO) will receive 0.755 of an Emera Share for each Canadian Utilities Class A Share held; and (d) the holders of Canadian Utilities Class B Shares (other than ATCO) will receive 0.819 of an Emera Share for each Canadian Utilities Class B Share held.
Until the Arrangement is completed, each company is generally required to operate in the ordinary course of business and take reasonable steps to preserve its business operations and key relationships, subject to specified exceptions. These exceptions include actions required by law or necessary to complete the Arrangement and the spin-out of New ATCO.
The Arrangement is subject to customary closing conditions, including applicable security holder, court, regulatory and stock exchange approvals, and is expected to close in the third or fourth quarter of 2027.
Through the application of judgment, the Company has concluded that the proposed Arrangement did not result in any non-current assets or disposal groups meeting the criteria for classification as held for distribution under IFRS Accounting Standards at September 30, 2026.
