1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
(a) Statement of compliance
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) Accounting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), have been omitted or condensed. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the company’s December 31, 2025 audited consolidated financial statements. The interim consolidated statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in the December 31, 2025 audited consolidated financial statements, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2026, refer to Note 1 (d) Recently adopted accounting standards.
The results reported in these interim consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for an entire year. The policies set out below are consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.
These interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the company on May 1, 2026.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
References to $, C$, €, £, R$, and COP are to United States (“U.S.”) dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros, British pound, Brazilian reais, and Colombian pesos, respectively.
All figures are presented in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
(b) Basis of presentation
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of property, plant and equipment and certain assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value. Cost is recorded based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
(c) Consolidation
These interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its subsidiaries, which are the entities over which the company has control. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Non-controlling interests in the equity of the company’s subsidiaries are shown separately in equity in the interim consolidated statements of financial position.
(d) Recently adopted accounting standards
Amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) and IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”) - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
The amendments clarify the requirements for the timing of recognition and derecognition of financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system, add further guidance for assessing the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets with contingent features, and adds new or amended disclosures relating to investments in equity instruments designated at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income “FVOCI” and financial instruments with contingent features. The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The company has assessed the impact of these amendments and have noted no material impact.
Amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) and IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”) - Contracts Referencing Nature-Dependent Electricity
The amendments apply only to contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity and clarify the application of the “own-use” requirements, the use of hedge accounting, and adds new disclosure requirements around the effect of these contracts on company financial performance and cash flows. The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The company has assessed the impact of these amendments and have noted no material impact.

(e) Future changes in accounting policies
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”)
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 18 is expected to improve the quality of financial reporting by requiring defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, requiring disclosure about management-defined performance measures, and adding new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. The company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.
There are currently no other future changes to IFRS Accounting Standards with a potential material impact on the company.

4. RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
RISK MANAGEMENT
The company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk (i.e., commodity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The company uses financial instruments primarily to manage these risks.
There have been no other material changes in exposure to the risks the company is exposed to since the December 31, 2025 audited consolidated financial statements.
Fair value disclosures
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Fair values determined using valuation models require the use of assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates. In determining those assumptions, management looks primarily to external readily observable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves, currency rates, commodity prices and, as applicable, credit spreads.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset is the consideration that would be received in an orderly transaction between market participants, considering the highest and best use of the asset.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels, described below. Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities.
Level 1 – inputs are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 – inputs, other than quoted prices in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

5. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the chief operating decision maker or “CODM”) review the results of the operations, manage the operations, and allocate resources based on the type of technology, in conjunction with other segments of Brookfield Renewable.
The operations of the company are segmented by – 1) hydroelectric (hydroelectric, pumped storage and other sustainable solutions), 2) wind, 3) solar (utility-scale solar and distributed generation) and 4) corporate. This best reflects the way in which the CODM reviews the results of the company.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the company completed the sale of a 700 MW portfolio of distributed generation assets in the United States, that represented substantially all of the assets within the Distributed Energy & Sustainable Solutions segment. Accordingly, the Distributed Energy & Sustainable Solutions segment is no longer presented as a separate reportable segment in the current period. Prior period comparative information for our distributed generation business has been reclassified to reflect this change, with results previously reported in the Distributed Energy & Sustainable Solutions segment now included within the Solar segment, to conform to the current period presentation. The remaining assets of the Distributed Energy & Sustainable Solutions segment, which are compromised of a pumped storage business, alongside other sustainable solutions operations, have been presented within the hydroelectric segment for the current and prior periods.
In accordance with IFRS 8, Operating Segments, the company discloses information about its reportable segments based upon the measures used by the CODM in assessing performance. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 – Basis of presentation and material accounting policy information.
Reporting to the CODM on the measures utilized to assess performance and allocate resources is provided on a proportionate basis. Information on a proportionate basis reflects the company’s share from facilities which it accounts for using consolidation and the equity method whereby the company either controls or exercises significant influence or joint control over the investment, respectively. Proportionate information provides shareholders perspective that the CODM considers important when performing internal analyses and making strategic and operating decisions. The CODM also believes that providing proportionate information helps investors understand the impacts of decisions made by management and financial results allocable to the company’s shareholders.
Proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Tables reconciling IFRS data with data presented on a proportionate consolidation basis have been disclosed below. Segment revenues, other income, direct operating costs, interest expense, current income taxes, and other are items that will differ from results presented in accordance with IFRS as these items (1) include the company’s proportionate share of earnings from equity-accounted investments attributable to each of the above-noted items, (2) exclude the proportionate share of earnings (loss) of consolidated investments not held by the company apportioned to each of the above-noted items, and (3) other income includes items that are considered within the company’s measure of return on invested capital, including but not limited to our proportionate share of settled foreign currency and other hedges, income earned on financial assets and structured investments in sustainable solutions, monetization of tax attributes at certain development projects and realized disposition gains on non-core assets and on recently developed assets that we have monetized to reflect the economic value created from our development activities as we design, build and commercialize new renewable energy capacity and sell these assets to lower cost of capital buyers which may not otherwise be reflected in our consolidated statements of income (loss).
The company uses Funds From Operations “FFO” to assess the performance of the company before the effects of certain cash items (e.g., acquisition costs and other typical non-recurring cash items) and certain non-cash items (e.g., deferred income taxes, depreciation, non-cash portion of non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash gain or loss from equity-accounted investments, and other non-cash items) as these are not reflective of the performance of the underlying business, and including monetization of tax attributes at certain development projects. The
| | | | | | | | |
| Brookfield Renewable Corporation | Q1 2026 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes | March 31, 2026 |
| | Page 13 |
company includes realized disposition gains and losses on assets that we developed and/or did not intend to hold over the long-term within FFO in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in current period net income.
The company does not control those entities that have not been consolidated and as such, have been presented as equity-accounted investments in its consolidated financial statements. The presentation of the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses does not represent the company’s legal claim to such items, and the removal of financial statement amounts that are attributable to non-controlling interests does not extinguish the company’s legal claims or exposures to such items.
The company reports its results in accordance with these segments and presents prior period segmented information in a consistent manner.
The company analyzes the performance of its operating segments based on FFO. FFO is not a generally accepted accounting measure under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of FFO used by other entities, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association of Canada (“REALPAC”) and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”).

6. INCOME TAXES
The company's effective income tax rate was 0.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (2025: 350.0%). The effective tax rate is different than the statutory rate primarily due to the non-deductible remeasurement of exchangeable shares and dividends presented as interest expense, rate differentials, changes in tax assets not recognized and non-controlling interest income not subject to tax.

8. BORROWINGS
Non-recourse borrowings
Non-recourse borrowings are typically asset-specific, long-term, non-recourse borrowings denominated in the domestic currency of the subsidiary. Non-recourse borrowings in North America and Europe consist of both fixed and floating interest rate debt indexed to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), the Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”), the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) and the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”). Brookfield Renewable uses interest rate swap agreements in North America and Europe to minimize its exposure to floating interest rates. Non-recourse borrowings in Brazil consist of floating interest rates of Taxa de Juros de Longo Prazo (“TJLP”), the Brazil National Bank for Economic Development’s long-term interest rate, or Interbank Deposit Certificate rate (“CDI”), plus a margin. Non-recourse borrowings in Colombia consist of both fixed and floating interest rates indexed to Indicador Bancario de Referencia rate (“IBR”), the Banco Central de Colombia short-term interest rate, and Colombian Consumer Price Index (“IPC”), Colombia inflation rate, plus a margin.

10. BEPC EXCHANGEABLE SHARES, BRHC EXCHANGEABLE SHARES, CLASS A.2 EXCHANGEABLE SHARES, BRHC CLASS B SHARES AND BRHC CLASS C SHARES
The BEPC exchangeable shares, BRHC class B shares, BRHC class C shares and class A.2 exchangeable non-voting shares of BRHC (“class A.2 exchangeable shares”) are classified as liabilities due to their exchange and cash redemption features. However, BEPC class B shares, the most subordinated class of all common shares, meet certain qualifying criteria and are presented as equity instruments given the narrow scope presentation exceptions existing in IAS 32. There are 43,661 BEPC class B shares issued and outstanding as at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025: 43,661).
BEPC exchangeable shares provide the holder, at its discretion, with the right to redeem these shares in exchange for either a BEP unit on a one-for-one basis or its cash equivalent, at the discretion of BEPC.
BRHC class B and BRHC class C shares provide Brookfield, at its discretion, with the right to redeem these shares in exchange for either a BEP unit on a one-for-one basis or its cash equivalent, at the discretion of BEPC.
The class A.2 exchangeable shares provide Brookfield, at its discretion, with the right to redeem these shares in exchange for BEPC exchangeable shares (subject to an ownership cap that limits the exchange by Brookfield of class A.2 exchangeable shares such that exchanges by Brookfield may not result in Brookfield owning 9.5% or more of the aggregate fair market value of all issued and outstanding shares of BEPC) or BEP units on a one-for-one basis. BEPC, however, has the right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy any such redemption request at its cash equivalent.
As at March 31, 2026, the BEPC exchangeable shares, BRHC class B shares, and BRHC class C shares were remeasured to $32.64 per share to reflect the NYSE closing price of a BEP unit. The class A.2 exchangeable shares up to the ownership cap were remeasured to $39.83 per share and the remaining shares were remeasured to $32.64 per share to reflect the NYSE closing price of a BEPC share and a BEP unit respectively. Remeasurement gains or losses associated with these shares are recorded in the interim consolidated statements of income (loss).
As at March 31, 2026, Brookfield Holders held a direct and indirect interest of approximately 25% of the company. Brookfield Holders own, directly and indirectly, 10,094,152 BEPC exchangeable shares and 34,719,683 class A.2 exchangeable shares on a combined basis and the remaining BEPC exchangeable shares are held by public investors.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, nil BEPC exchangeable shares were exchanged for an equal number of BEP LP units resulting in no change to the BEPC exchangeable and class A.2 exchangeable shares financial liability (2025: 35,313 of BEPC exchangeable shares resulting in a decrease of less than $1 million). During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the company declared dividends $71 million (2025: $68 million) on its outstanding BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares and nil (2025: $95 million) on its outstanding BRHC class C shares. Dividends on BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and BRHC class C shares are presented as interest expense in the interim consolidated statements of income (loss).
During the first quarter of 2026, the company established an at-the-market (“ATM”) equity program under which it may, at its discretion, offer and sell up to $400 million of BEPC exchangeable shares directly from treasury. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, 2,776,796 BEPC exchangeable shares were issued for gross proceeds of approximately $115 million.
In December 2025, the company renewed its normal course issuer bid for its outstanding BEPC exchangeable shares. The company is authorized to repurchase up to 7,244,255 BEPC exchangeable shares, representing 5% of its issued and outstanding BEPC exchangeable shares. The bids will expire on December 17, 2026, or earlier should the company complete its repurchases prior to such date. There were no BEPC exchangeable shares repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

17. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES
Commitments
In the course of its operations, the company has entered into agreements for the use of water, land and dams. Payment under those agreements varies with the amount of power generated. The various agreements can be renewed and are extendable up to 2089.
In the normal course of business, the company will enter into capital expenditure commitments which primarily relate to contracted project costs for various growth initiatives. As at March 31, 2026, the company had $1,319 million (2025: $863 million) of capital expenditure commitments of which $536 million is payable in 2026, $427 million is payable in 2027, $327 million is payable in 2028 to 2030, and $29 million thereafter.
An integral part of the company’s strategy is to participate with institutional partners in Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds that target acquisitions that suit the company’s profile. In the normal course of business, the company has made commitments to Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds to participate in these target acquisitions in the future, if and when identified. From time to time, in order to facilitate investment activities in a timely and efficient manner, the company will fund deposits or incur other costs and expenses (including by use of loan facilities to consummate, support, guarantee or issue letters of credit) in respect of an investment that ultimately will be shared with or made entirely by Brookfield sponsored vehicles, consortiums and/or partnerships (including private funds, joint ventures and similar arrangements), the company, or by co-investors.

Contingencies
The company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings, arbitrations and actions arising in the normal course of business. While the final outcome of such legal proceedings and actions cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of such proceedings and actions will not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
The company’s subsidiaries themselves have provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance.
The company, along with institutional partners, has provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance as it relates to interests in the Brookfield Americas Infrastructure Fund, the Brookfield Infrastructure Fund II, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund III, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund IV, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund V, Brookfield Global Transition Fund, Brookfield Global Transition Fund II, and Catalytic Transition Fund. The company’s subsidiaries have similarly provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance.
Letters of credit issued by the company’s subsidiaries as at March 31, 2026 were $1,246 million (December 31, 2025: $1,672 million).
Guarantees
In the normal course of operations, the company executes agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to third-parties of transactions such as business dispositions, capital project purchases, business acquisitions, power marketing activities such as purchase and sale agreements, swap agreements, sales and purchases of assets and services, and the transfer of tax credits or renewable energy grants from tax equity partnerships. The company has also agreed to indemnify its directors and certain of its officers and employees. The nature of substantially all of the indemnification undertakings and guarantee agreements prevents the company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount that the company could be required to pay third parties as the agreements do not always specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time.
Two direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of our company have fully and unconditionally guaranteed (i) any and all present and future unsecured debt securities issued by Brookfield Renewable Partners ULC, in each case as to payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest when and as the same will become due and payable under or in respect of the trust indenture under which such securities are issued, (ii) all present and future senior preferred shares of Brookfield Renewable Power Preferred Equity Inc. (“BRP Equity”) as to the payment of dividends when due, the payment of amounts due on redemption and the payment of amounts due on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BRP Equity, (iii) certain of BEP’s preferred units, as to payment of distributions when due, the payment of amounts due on redemption and the payment of amounts due on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BEP, (iv) the obligations of all present and future bilateral credit facilities established for the benefit of Brookfield Renewable, and (v) notes issued by Brookfield BRP Holdings (Canada) Inc. under its U.S. commercial paper program. BRP Bermuda Holdings I Limited (“BBHI”) and BEP Subco Inc. subsidiaries of the company have guaranteed the perpetual subordinated notes issued by Brookfield BRP Holdings (Canada) Inc. These arrangements do not have or are not reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
18. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The company’s related party transactions are recorded at the exchange amount. The company’s related party transactions are primarily with the partnership and its related parties.
The company has entered into two deposit agreements with one or more subsidiaries of the partnership, one as depositor or lender and one as depositee or borrower. Each deposit agreement contemplates potential deposit arrangements pursuant to which the parties thereunder would mutually agree to deposit funds thereunder from time to time on a demand basis at a specified rate of interest. Additionally, the company, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement with a subsidiary of the partnership, as lender, pursuant to which the subsidiary of the partnership established a revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $150 million in favour of the company. The credit agreement has a ten-year term, subject to automatic one-year extensions occurring annually unless terminated by the lender.

PART 1 – OVERVIEW
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
BEPC is a Canadian corporation incorporated on October 3, 2024 under the laws of British Columbia. Our company was established by Brookfield Renewable to be an alternative investment vehicle for investors who prefer owning securities through a corporate structure. While our operations are primarily located in the United States, Brazil, Colombia, and Europe, shareholders will, on economic terms, have exposure to all regions BEP operates in as a result of the exchange feature attaching to the Class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares ("BEPC exchangeable shares"), whereby BEPC will have the option to meet an exchange request by delivering cash or non-voting limited partnership units of BEP (“LP units”).
The BEPC exchangeable shares of our company are structured with the intention of being economically equivalent to the LP units. We believe economic equivalence is achieved through identical dividends and distributions on the BEPC exchangeable shares and the LP units and each BEPC exchangeable share being exchangeable at the option of the holder for one LP unit at any time. Given the economic equivalence, we expect that the market price of the BEPC exchangeable shares will be significantly impacted by the market price of the LP units and the combined business performance of our company and Brookfield Renewable as a whole. In addition to carefully considering the disclosure made in this document, shareholders are strongly encouraged to carefully review the partnership’s periodic reporting. The partnership is required to file reports, including annual reports on Form 20-F, and other information with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The partnership’s SEC filings are available to the public from the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Copies of documents that have been filed with the Canadian securities authorities can be obtained at http://www.sedarplus.ca. Information about the partnership, including its SEC filings, is also available on its website at https://bep.brookfield.com. The information found on, or accessible through, https://bep.brookfield.com is not incorporated into and does not form a part of this MD&A.
Our company, BRHC, our subsidiaries and Brookfield Renewable (together our “Group”), target a total return of 12% to 15% per annum on the renewable assets that we own, measured over the long-term. Our group intends to generate this return from cash flows from our operations plus growth through investments in upgrades and expansions of our asset base, as well as acquisitions and capital recycling initiatives. Brookfield Renewable determines its distributions based primarily on an assessment of its operating performance. Our group uses Funds From Operations (“FFO”) to assess operating performance which can be used on a per unit basis as a proxy for future distribution growth over the long-term. For further details, see the “Performance Disclosures” section of this MD&A.
The Arrangement
On December 24, 2024, the partnership, BRHC, and the company completed an arrangement (the “Arrangement”), pursuant to which 1505127 B.C. Ltd. (which was renamed Brookfield Renewable Corporation) became the “successor issuer” (as defined in NI 44-101) to the former BEPC, which was renamed Brookfield Renewable Holdings Corporation and BRHC’s class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares were delisted. The purpose of the Arrangement was to allow BEPC to maintain the benefits of its business structure, while addressing proposed amendments to the Income Tax Act (Canada) that were expected to result in additional costs to the company if no action was taken. In connection with the Arrangement, among other things, (i) holders of class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares of BRHC, other than Brookfield, received BEPC exchangeable shares in exchange for their class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares of BRHC on a one-for-one basis; (ii) Brookfield exchanged their class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares of BRHC for class A.2 exchangeable shares on a one-for-one basis; (iii) the class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares of BRHC were delisted; (iv) the exchangeable shares of BEPC were listed on the NYSE and the TSX; (v) the partnership transferred 55 class B shares of BRHC to BEPC in exchange for 55 class B shares of BEPC; and (vi) 43,605 class B shares of BEPC were issued to the partnership in exchange for $1 million. The class A.2 exchangeable shares are exchangeable by Brookfield into BEPC exchangeable shares (subject to an ownership cap that limits the exchange by Brookfield of class A.2 exchangeable shares such that exchanges by Brookfield may not result in Brookfield owning 9.5% or more of the aggregate fair market value of all issued and outstanding shares of BEPC) or LP units on a one-for-one basis.
On December 31, 2025, BRHC undertook a reorganization pursuant to which a new corporation, 1566030 B.C. Ltd. (“New BRHC”) was formed, and all existing shares of BRHC were contributed to New BRHC in exchange for shares of New BRHC. The reorganized structure operates substantially the same as the previous structure. New BRHC became a party to all agreements to which BRHC was a party, including the Master Services Agreement. New BRHC subsequently changed its name to Brookfield Renewable Holdings Corporation. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to BRHC refer to New BRHC.

We have recently begun exploring whether a single combined corporate structure would be the best path forward. The goal is to determine if, on a tax-free basis, we can create a single corporate security that would enhance liquidity, increase index inclusion and create value for our investors.

Variance Analysis For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
Revenues totaling $883 million represents a decrease of $24 million over the same period in the prior year primarily due to the impact of our recently completed asset sales, including the recent disposition of a 700 MW portfolio of distributed generation assets in the United States and unfavorable hydrology at our U.S. businesses. This was partially offset by contributions from recently commissioned facilities and trading activities, inflation escalation on our contracted generation and the benefits of strong hydrology from our Colombian hydroelectric assets.
On a same store, constant currency basis, revenues decreased by $44 million as the benefits from higher resources at our Colombian hydroelectric assets as well as inflation escalation on our contracted generation in Brazil was offset by lower hydrology at our U.S. business and lower spot prices on our uncontracted Colombian generation caused by higher system-wide hydrology.
The weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the same period in the prior year across most currencies increased revenues by $53 million, which was offset by a $39 million unfavorable foreign exchange impact on our direct operating costs and interest expenses.
Direct operating costs totaling $415 million, represent an increase of $47 million compared to the same period in the prior year due to additional costs from our recently commissioned facilities, higher costs from trading activities in the U.S. and the strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by recently completed asset sales.
Management service costs totaled $46 million, representing an increase of $23 million compared to the same period in the prior year due to the growth of our business.
Interest expense totaling $373 million represents a decrease of $40 million over the same period in the prior year due to the impact of our recently completed asset sales, partially offset by financing initiatives to fund development activities and the above noted foreign exchange fluctuations.
Remeasurement of shares classified as financial liabilities resulted in a $2,035 million loss compared to a $223 million gain in the same period in the prior year as a result of the growth of our business and the corresponding increase in Brookfield Renewable LP unit and BEPC exchangeable share prices during the period.
Depreciation expense totaling $294 million represents a decrease of $13 million due to recently completed asset sales, partly offset by recently commissioned facilities.
Net loss totaling $2,302 million represents an increase of $2,297 million compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of the above-noted items.

Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment totaled $38.5 billion as at March 31, 2026 compared to $39.7 billion as at December 31, 2025, representing a decrease of $1.2 billion. The decrease was primarily related to assets classified as held for sale of $1.7 billion and depreciation expense of $0.3 billion, which were partially offset by our continued investments in the development of power generating assets of $0.2 billion and the $0.5 billion impact from the effects of the strengthening of most currencies against the U.S. dollar.
Assets held for sale and Liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale
Assets held for sale and Liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale totaled $2.2 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, as at March 31, 2026 and are comprised of a 448 MW portfolio of hydroelectric assets in the United States and a 132 MW portfolio of operating wind and solar assets in the United States.

(2)Average revenue per MWh was adjusted to net the impact of power purchases and any revenue with no corresponding generation.
Funds From Operations at our hydroelectric business was $190 million versus $111 million in the prior year, as the benefit from the company’s increased ownership in Isagen, strong same-store generation in Colombia, stronger pricing in Brazil from contracting initiatives and inflation-indexation, gains on the sale of a stake in a U.S. non-core asset portfolio were partially offset by weaker same-store generation in the U.S., weaker pricing in Colombia due to high system-wide hydrology and higher interest expense from our upfinancing activities across the fleet.
WIND OPERATIONS

PART 5 – LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
AVAILABLE LIQUIDITY
Our company assesses liquidity on a group-wide basis, consistent with the partnership, because shareholders have exposure to a broader base of renewable investments by virtue of the exchange feature of BEPC exchangeable shares. Our group-wide liquidity consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (MILLIONS) | | March 31, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 |
| Our company's share of cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 318 | | | $ | 397 | |
Authorized credit facilities(1) | | 2,450 | | | 2,450 | |
| | 2,768 | | | 2,847 | |
| Available portion of subsidiary credit facilities | | 113 | | | 235 | |
| Brookfield Renewable group liquidity on a proportionate basis | | 1,852 | | | 1,543 | |
| Available liquidity | | $ | 4,733 | | | $ | 4,625 | |
(1)Includes the $2,050 million Subordinated Credit Facilities with the partnership and a $400 million revolving credit facility with Brookfield Corporation.
We operate with sufficient liquidity to enable us to fund growth initiatives, capital expenditures, distributions and withstand sudden adverse changes in economic circumstances or short-term fluctuations in generation. We maintain a strong, investment grade balance sheet characterized by a conservative capital structure, access to multiple funding levers including a focus on capital recycling on an opportunistic basis, and diverse sources of capital. Principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, our credit facilities, upfinancings on non-recourse borrowings and proceeds from the issuance of various securities through public markets.

DIVIDEND POLICY
The BEPC board may declare dividends at its discretion. However, the BEPC exchangeable shares have been structured with the intention of providing an economic return equivalent to the LP units and it is expected that dividends on the BEPC exchangeable shares will be declared at the same time and in the same amount as distributions made on the LP units. In the event dividends are not declared and paid concurrently with a distribution on the LP units, then the undeclared or unpaid amount of such BEPC exchangeable share dividend will accrue and accumulate. Pursuant to the amended and restated equity commitment agreement, the partnership has also agreed not to declare or pay any distribution on the LP units if on such date our company does not have sufficient funds or other assets to enable the declaration and payment of an equivalent dividend on the BEPC exchangeable shares. See Item 7.B “Related Party Transactions – BEPC relationship with the partnership – Equity Commitment Agreement” of our Form 20-F for the annual period ended December 31, 2025. Brookfield Renewable’s distributions are underpinned by stable, highly regulated and contracted cash flows generated from operations. Brookfield Renewable’s objective is to pay a distribution that is sustainable on a long-term basis and has set its target payout ratio at approximately 70% of Brookfield Renewable’s Funds From Operations.
The board of directors of the general partner of Brookfield Renewable approved an over 5% increase in its annual distribution to $1.568 per LP unit, or $0.392 per LP unit quarterly, starting with the distribution paid in March 2026, an increase from $1.492 per LP unit in 2025. This increase reflects the forecasted contribution from Brookfield Renewable's recently commissioned capital projects, as well as the expected cash yield on recent acquisitions net of dispositions. Brookfield Renewable targets a 5% to 9% annual distribution growth in light of growth it foresees in its operations.
BORROWINGS
The composition of debt obligations, overall maturity profile, and average interest rates associated with our borrowings and credit facilities on a proportionate basis is presented in the following table:

We remain focused on refinancing near-term facilities on acceptable terms and maintaining a manageable maturity ladder. We do not anticipate material issues in refinancing our borrowings through 2030 on acceptable terms and will do so opportunistically based on the prevailing interest rate environment.
Proportionate debt is presented to assist investors in understanding the capital structure of the underlying investments of our company that are consolidated in its financial statements but are not wholly-owned. When used in conjunction with Funds from Operations, proportionate debt is expected to provide useful information as to how our company has financed its businesses at the asset-level. The only difference between consolidated debt presented under IFRS and proportionate debt is the adjustment to remove the share of debt of consolidated investments not attributable to our company and the adjustment to include share of debt attributable to the equity-accounted investments of our company. Management utilizes proportionate debt in understanding the capital structure of the underlying investments that are consolidated in its financial statements but are not wholly-owned. Proportionate debt provides useful information as to how our company has financed its businesses at the asset-level and provides a view into the return on the capital that it invests at a given degree of leverage.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
We fund growth capital expenditures with cash flow generated from operations, supplemented by non-recourse debt sized to investment grade coverage and covenant thresholds. This is designed to ensure that our investments have stable capital structures supported by a substantial level of equity and that cash flows at the asset level can be remitted freely to our company. This strategy also underpins our investment grade profile.
To fund large scale development projects and acquisitions, we will evaluate a variety of capital sources including proceeds from selling mature businesses, in addition to raising money in the capital markets through equity, debt and preferred share issuances. Furthermore, our company has $2.45 billion of committed revolving credit facilities available for investments and acquisitions, as well as funding the equity component of organic growth initiatives. The facilities are intended, and have historically been used, as a bridge to a long-term financing strategy rather than a permanent source of capital. We believe these capital sources will be sufficient to permit us to deploy the necessary capital for our contractual commitments (see Note 17 - Commitments, contingencies and guarantees) and our company’s share of anticipated transactions by our group.

SHARES AND UNITS OUTSTANDING
Our company’s equity interests include BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares held by Brookfield Holders and public shareholders and BEPC class B, BRHC class B and BRHC class C shares held by the partnership. Dividends on each of our BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares are expected to be declared and paid at the same time and in the same amount per share as distributions on each LP unit of the partnership. Ownership of BEPC class B, BRHC class B, and BRHC class C shares will entitle holders to receive dividends as and when declared by our board.
Our company’s capital structure is comprised of the following shares:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (UNITS) | March 31, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 | | |
BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares(1) | 182,381,589 | | 179,604,793 | | |
| BEPC class B shares | 43,661 | | 43,661 | | |
| BRHC class B shares | 110 | | 110 | | |
| BRHC class C shares | 194,460,874 | | 194,460,874 | | |
(1)Includes 147,661,906 (December 31, 2025: 144,885,110) of BEPC exchangeable shares and 34,719,683 (December 31, 2025: 34,719,683) of Class A.2 exchangeable shares.
BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares provide the holder, at its discretion, with the right to redeem these shares for cash consideration. The redemption right related to the BEPC exchangeable shares is subject to the company’s right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy the redemption request with LP units on a one-for-one basis. Similarly, the redemption right related to class A.2 exchangeable shares is subject to the company’s right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy any such redemption request with BEPC exchangeable shares or LP units, at the election of Brookfield, rather than cash, on a one-for-one basis. For more information, see Item 10.B “Memorandum and Articles of Association – BEPC Exchangeable Shares” of our Form 20-F for the annual period ended December 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our shareholders exchanged nil (2025: 35,313) BEPC exchangeable shares for an equivalent number of BEP LP units. BEPC class B, BRHC class B and BRHC class C shares are redeemable for cash in an amount equal to the market price of an LP unit. There have been no redemptions of class A.2 exchangeable shares, BEPC class B or BRHC class C shares to date. Due to the exchange feature of the BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares and the cash redemption feature of the BEPC class B, BRHC class B and BRHC class C shares, the BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares, BEPC class B shares, BRHC class B shares and BRHC class C shares are classified as financial liabilities. However, the BEPC class B shares meet certain qualifying criteria and are presented as equity instruments given the narrow scope presentation exceptions existing in IAS 32.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our company declared dividends of $71 million (2025: $68 million) on its outstanding BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares and nil (2025: $95 million) on its outstanding BRHC class C shares. Dividends on our BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and BRHC class C shares are presented as interest expense in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. No dividends were declared on BEPC class B shares and BRHC class B shares during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
As at March 31, 2026, Brookfield Holders held a direct and indirect interest of approximately 25% of the company. Brookfield Holders own, directly and indirectly, 10,094,152 BEPC exchangeable shares and 34,719,683 class A.2 exchangeable shares on a combined basis and the remaining is held by public investors.
During the first quarter of 2026, the company established an at-the-market (“ATM”) equity program under which it may, at its discretion, offer and sell up to $400 million of BEPC exchangeable shares directly from treasury. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, 2,776,796 BEPC exchangeable shares were issued for gross proceeds of approximately $115 million.
Our company may from time-to-time, subject to applicable law, purchase shares for cancellation in the open market, provided that any necessary approval has been obtained.
In December 2025, the company renewed its normal course issuer bid for its outstanding BEPC exchangeable shares. The company is authorized to repurchase up to 7,244,255 BEPC exchangeable shares, representing 5% of its issued and outstanding BEPC exchangeable shares. The bids will expire on December 17, 2026, or earlier should the company complete its repurchases prior to such date. There were no BEPC exchangeable shares repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
As at the date of this report, Brookfield Holders, and the partnership, through ownership of BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and BEPC class B shares, hold an approximate 79% voting interest in our company.

PART 7 – CRITICAL ESTIMATES, JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES, AND INTERNAL CONTROLS
CRITICAL ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS, which require the use of estimates and judgments in reporting assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and contingencies. In the judgment of management, none of the estimates outlined in Note 1 – Basis of presentation and material accounting policy information in the audited consolidated financial statements are considered critical accounting estimates with the exception of the estimates related to the valuation of property, plant and equipment, financial instruments, deferred income tax liabilities, decommissioning liabilities and impairment of goodwill. These assumptions include estimates of future electricity prices, discount rates, expected long-term average generation, inflation rates, terminal year, the amount and timing of operating and capital costs, and the income tax rates of future income tax provisions. Estimates also include determination of accruals, provisions, purchase price allocations, useful lives, asset valuations, asset impairment testing and those relevant to the defined benefit pension and non-pension benefit plans. Estimates are based on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
In making estimates, management relies on external information and observable conditions where possible, supplemented by internal analysis, as required. These estimates have been applied in a manner consistent with that in the prior year and there are no known trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that we believe will materially affect the methodology or assumptions utilized in this MD&A. These estimates are impacted by, among other things, future power prices, movements in interest rates, foreign exchange volatility and other factors, some of which are highly uncertain, as described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Form 20-F for the annual period ended December 31, 2025. The interrelated nature of these factors prevents us from quantifying the overall impact of these movements on our company’s financial statements in a meaningful way. These sources of estimation uncertainty relate in varying degrees to substantially all asset and liability account balances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”)
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 18 is expected to improve the quality of financial reporting by requiring defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, requiring disclosure about management-defined performance measures, and adding new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. The company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.
There are currently no other future changes to IFRS Accounting Standards with a potential material impact on the company.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
No changes were made in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to the quarter, the company, together with its institutional partners, agreed to the sale of its remaining 50% interest in a 403 MW portfolio of operating hydroelectric assets in the United States for proceeds of up to $522 million ($249 million net to the company). The closing of this transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.

PART 8 – PRESENTATION TO STAKEHOLDERS AND PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
PRESENTATION TO PUBLIC STAKEHOLDERS
Actual Generation
For assets acquired, disposed or reaching commercial operation during the year, reported generation is calculated from the acquisition, disposition or commercial operation date and is not annualized. Generation on a same-store basis refers to the generation of assets that were owned during both periods presented. As it relates to Colombia only, generation includes hydroelectric, solar and wind facilities. Hydroelectric includes generation from our North America pumped storage facility, and North America cogeneration asset.
Our risk of a generation shortfall in Brazil continues to be minimized by participation in the MRE administered by the government of Brazil. This program mitigates hydrology risk by assuring that all participants receive, at any particular point in time, an assured energy amount, irrespective of the actual volume of energy generated. The program reallocates energy, transferring surplus energy from those who generated an excess to those who generate less than their assured energy, up to the total generation within the pool. Periodically, low precipitation across the entire country’s system could result in a temporary reduction of generation available for sale. During these periods, we expect that a higher proportion of thermal generation would be needed to balance supply and demand in the country, potentially leading to higher overall spot market prices.
Voting Agreements with Affiliates
Our company has entered into voting agreements with Brookfield and the partnership, whereby our company gained control of the entities that own certain renewable power generating facilities in the United States and Brazil, as well as TerraForm Power. Our company has also entered into a voting agreement with its consortium partners in respect of our Colombian business. The voting agreements provide our company the authority to direct the election of the boards of directors of the relevant entities, among other things, and therefore provide our company with control. Accordingly, our company consolidates the accounts of these entities.
For entities previously controlled by Brookfield Corporation, the voting agreements entered into do not represent business combinations in accordance with IFRS 3, as all combining businesses are ultimately controlled by Brookfield Corporation both before and after the transactions were completed. Our company accounts for these transactions involving entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interest, which requires the presentation of pre-voting agreement financial information as if the transactions had always been in place. Refer to Note 1((u))(ii) – Critical judgments in applying accounting policies – Common control transactions in our December 31, 2025 audited annual consolidated financial statements for our policy on accounting for transactions under common control.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
Segment Information
Our operations are segmented by – 1) hydroelectric (hydroelectric, pumped storage and other sustainable solutions), 2) wind, 3) solar (utility-scale solar and distributed generation) and 4) corporate. This best reflects the way in which the CODM reviews results, manages operations and allocates resources.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the company completed the sale of a 700 MW portfolio of distributed generation assets in the United States, that represented substantially all of the assets within the Distributed Energy & Sustainable Solutions segment. Accordingly, the Distributed Energy & Sustainable Solutions segment is no longer presented as a separate reportable segment in the current period. Prior period comparative information for our distributed generation business has been reclassified to reflect this change, with results previously reported in the Distributed Energy & Sustainable Solutions segment now included within the Solar segment, to conform to the current period presentation. The remaining assets of the Distributed Energy & Sustainable Solutions segment, which are compromised of a pumped storage business, alongside other sustainable solutions operations, have been presented within the hydroelectric segment for the current and prior periods.
We report our results in accordance with these segments and present prior period segmented information in a consistent manner. See Note 5 – Segmented information in our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

One of our primary business objectives is to generate stable and growing cash flows while minimizing risk for the benefit of all stakeholders. We monitor our performance in this regard through three key metrics — i) Net Income (Loss), ii) Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and iii) Funds From Operations.
It is important to highlight that Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and have limitations as analytical tools. We provide additional information below on how we determine Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations. We also provide reconciliations to Net income (loss). See “Part 4 – Financial Performance Review on Proportionate Information – Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures”.
Proportionate Information
Reporting to the CODM on the measures utilized to assess performance and allocate resources has been provided on a proportionate basis. Information on a proportionate basis reflects our company’s share from facilities which it accounts for using consolidation and the equity method whereby our company either controls or exercises significant influence or joint control over the investment, respectively. Proportionate information provides a shareholder perspective that the CODM considers important when performing internal analyses and making strategic and operating decisions. The CODM also believes that providing proportionate information helps investors understand the impacts of decisions made by management and financial results that can be allocated to shareholders.
Proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Tables reconciling IFRS data with data presented on a proportionate consolidation basis have been disclosed. Segment revenues, other income, direct operating costs, interest expense, current income taxes, and other are items that will differ from results presented in accordance with IFRS as these items (1) include our company’s proportionate share of earnings from equity-accounted investments attributable to each of the above-noted items, (2) exclude the proportionate share of earnings (loss) of consolidated investments not held by us apportioned to each of the above-noted items, and (3) other income includes items that are considered within the company’s measure of return on invested capital, including but not limited to our proportionate share of settled foreign currency and other hedges, income earned on financial assets and structured investments in sustainable solutions, monetization of tax attributes at certain development projects and realized disposition gains on non-core assets and on recently developed assets that we have monetized to reflect the economic value created from our development activities as we design, build and commercialize new renewable energy capacity and sell these assets to lower cost of capital buyers which may not otherwise be reflected in our consolidated statements of income (loss).
The presentation of proportionate results has limitations as an analytical tool, including the following:
•The amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses; and
•Other companies may calculate proportionate results differently than we do.
Because of these limitations, our proportionate financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial statements as reported under IFRS.
Our company does not control those entities that have not been consolidated and as such, have been presented as equity-accounted investments in its financial statements. The presentation of the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses do not represent our company’s legal claim to such items, and the removal of financial statement amounts that are attributable to non-controlling interests does not extinguish our company’s legal claims or exposures to such items.
Unless the context indicates or requires otherwise, information with respect to the megawatts (“MW”) attributable to our company’s facilities, including development assets, is presented on a consolidated basis, including with respect to facilities whereby our company either controls or jointly controls the applicable facility.

Net Income (Loss)
Net income (loss) is calculated in accordance with IFRS.
Net income (loss) is an important measure of profitability, in particular because it has a standardized meaning under IFRS. The presentation of net income (loss) on an IFRS basis for our business will often lead to the recognition of a loss even though the underlying cash flows generated by the assets are supported by strong margins and stable, long-term power purchase agreements. The primary reason for this is that accounting rules require us to recognize a significantly higher level of depreciation for our assets than we are required to reinvest in the business as sustaining capital expenditures.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure used by investors to analyze the operating performance of companies.
Our company uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of our operations before the effects of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, management service costs, non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash income or loss from equity-accounted investments, distributions to preferred shareholders, preferred limited partnership unit holders, perpetual subordinated noteholders and other typical non-recurring items. Our company adjusts for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and/or are not factors used by management for evaluating operating performance. Our company includes other income within Adjusted EBITDA in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in the current period.
Our company believes that presentation of this measure will enhance an investor’s ability to evaluate our financial and operating performance on an allocable basis.
Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations is a non-IFRS measure used by investors to analyze net earnings from operations without the effects of certain volatile items that generally have no current financial impact or items not directly related to the performance of the business.
Our company uses Funds From Operations to assess the performance of our company before the effects of certain cash items (e.g. acquisition costs and other typical non-recurring cash items) and certain non-cash items (e.g. deferred income taxes, depreciation, non-cash portion of non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash gain or loss from equity-accounted investments, and other non-cash items) as these are not reflective of the performance of the underlying business, and including monetization of tax attributes at certain development projects. The company includes realized disposition gains and losses on assets that we developed and/or did not intend to hold over the long-term within Funds From Operations in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in current period net income. In the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of our company, the revaluation approach is used in accordance with IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, whereby depreciation is determined based on a revalued amount, thereby reducing comparability with peers who do not report under IFRS as issued by the IASB or who do not employ the revaluation approach to measuring property, plant and equipment. Management adds back deferred income taxes on the basis that they do not believe this item reflects the present value of the actual tax obligations that they expect our company to incur over the long-term investment horizon of our company.
Our company believes that analysis and presentation of Funds From Operations on this basis will enhance an investor’s understanding of the performance of the business.
Funds From Operations is not a generally accepted accounting measure under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Funds From Operations used by other entities, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association of Canada (“REALPAC”) and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”). Furthermore, this measure is not used by the CODM to assess our company’s liquidity.
Proportionate Debt
Proportionate debt is presented based on the proportionate share of borrowings obligations relating to the investments of our company in various portfolio businesses. The proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Proportionate debt measures are provided because management believes it assists investors and analysts in estimating the overall performance and understanding the leverage pertaining specifically to our
| | | | | | | | |
| Brookfield Renewable Corporation | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | March 31, 2026 |
| | Page 26 |
company's share of its invested capital in a given investment. When used in conjunction with Proportionate Adjusted EBITDA, proportionate debt is expected to provide useful information as to how our company has financed its businesses at the asset-level. Management believes that the proportionate presentation, when read in conjunction with our company’s reported results under IFRS, including consolidated debt, provides a more meaningful assessment of how the operations of our company are performing and capital is being managed.
The presentation of proportionate results has limitations as an analytical tool, including the following:
•Proportionate debt amounts do not represent the consolidated obligation for debt underlying a consolidated investment. If an individual project does not generate sufficient cash flows to service the entire amount of its debt payments, management may determine, in their discretion, to pay the shortfall through an equity injection to Brookfield Renewable Corporation to avoid defaulting on the obligation. Such a shortfall may not be apparent from or may not equal the difference between aggregate Proportionate Adjusted EBITDA for all of the portfolio investments of our company and aggregate proportionate debt for all of the portfolio investments of our company; and
•Other companies may calculate proportionate debt differently.
Because of these limitations, the proportionate financial information of our company should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial statements of our company as reported under IFRS.

For further information on these known and unknown risks, please see “Risk Factors” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and other risks and factors that are described therein.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING USE OF NON-IFRS MEASURES
This report contains references to Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations which are not generally accepted accounting measures standardized under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations used by other entities. In particular, our definition of Funds From Operations may differ from the definition of funds from operations used by other organizations, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association of Canada and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”) in part because the NAREIT definition is based on U.S. GAAP, as opposed to IFRS. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations are useful supplemental measures that may assist investors in assessing our financial performance. None of Adjusted EBITDA or Funds From Operations should be considered as the sole measure of our performance and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS measures reflect how we manage our business and, in our opinion, enable investors and other readers to better understand our business.
Reconciliations of each of Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations to net income (loss) are presented in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis. We have also provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations to net income (loss) in Note 5 – Segmented information in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
