NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Hydro One Limited (Hydro One or the Company) was incorporated on August 31, 2015, under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). On October 31, 2015, the Company acquired Hydro One Inc., a company previously wholly-owned by the Province of Ontario (Province). As at June 30, 2026, the Province held approximately 47.1% (December 31, 2025 - 47.1%) of the common shares of Hydro One. The businesses of Hydro One are comprised of the following three segments:
•The Transmission segment consists of owning and operating Hydro One’s transmission system which transmits high voltage electricity across the province, interconnecting local distribution companies and certain large directly connected industrial customers throughout the Ontario electricity grid. The transmission business consists of the transmission system operated by Hydro One Inc.’s rate-regulated subsidiaries, Hydro One Networks Inc. (Hydro One Networks), Hydro One Sault Ste. Marie LP (HOSSM), an approximate 66% interest in B2M Limited Partnership (B2M LP), an approximate 55% interest in Niagara Reinforcement Limited Partnership (NRLP), and an approximate 50% (December 31, 2025 - 80%) interest in Chatham x Lakeshore Limited Partnership (CLLP). The Transmission segment also includes Hydro One Network’s approximate 40% (December 31, 2025 - 48%) minority interest in the East-West Tie Limited Partnership (EWT LP).
•The Distribution segment owns and operates Hydro One’s distribution system which delivers electricity to end customers and certain other municipal electricity distributors within Ontario. The distribution business consists of the distribution systems operated by Hydro One Inc.'s rate-regulated subsidiaries, Hydro One Networks and Hydro One Remote Communities Inc. (Hydro One Remotes).
•The Other segment consists principally of Hydro One’s telecommunications business, which provides telecommunications support for the Company’s transmission and distribution businesses, as well as certain corporate activities, and is not rate-regulated. The telecommunications business is carried out by Hydro One's wholly-owned subsidiary, Acronym Solutions Inc. (Acronym). In addition to supporting Hydro One's regulated business segments, Acronym offers a comprehensive suite of Information Communications Technology solutions. Furthermore, Hydro One's other segment also includes Aux Energy Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary that provides energy solutions to commercial and industrial clients, and Ontario Charging Network LP (OCN LP), a wholly-owned subsidiary that owns and operates electric vehicle fast charging stations across Ontario under the Ivy Charging Network brand.
Earnings for interim periods are impacted by seasonal weather conditions affecting customer demand, market pricing, and the timing of regulatory decisions.

3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The following table presents Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that are applicable to Hydro One:
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Guidance | Date issued | Description | ASU Effective Date | Impact on Hydro One |
| ASU 2025-05 | July 2025 | The amendments allow all entities to use a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and contract assets under Topic 606, by assuming that current conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the asset’s life. Additionally, entities other than public business entities that elect this expedient may adopt an accounting policy to consider post–balance sheet date collection activity in their credit loss estimates. | Annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2025. | No impact upon adoption |
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Guidance | Date issued | Description | ASU Effective Date | Impact on Hydro One |
| ASU 2023-06 | October 2023 | The amendments represent changes to clarify or improve disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of subtopics in the FASB Codification. Many of the amendments allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the U.S. Securities and Exchange’s (SEC) existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the SEC’s requirements. Also, the amendments align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations.
Applicable to all entities, if by June 30, 2027 the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective for any entity. | Two years subsequent to the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure becomes effective. | Under assessment |
ASU 2024-03 | November 2024 | The amendments require public business entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods, which are not generally presented in the current financial statements. | Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. | Under assessment |
| ASU 2025-03 | May 2025 | The amendments require entities to apply the guidance for identifying the accounting acquirer in transactions where a business that qualifies as a Variable Interest Entity is acquired through the exchange of equity interests. | Annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026. | No impact upon adoption |
| ASU 2025-06 | September 2025 | The amendments modernize accounting for internal-use software by removing outdated development stage references and introducing a capitalization threshold based on management authorization and project completion probability. | Annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. | Under assessment |
| ASU 2025-09 | November 2025 | The amendments expand hedge-accounting eligibility and better align the guidance with common risk‑management practices. Key updates allow grouping forecasted transactions with similar exposure, simplify hedging of choose‑your‑rate variable‑rate debt, and broaden eligibility for hedging nonfinancial components. The guidance modernizes treatment of certain option‑based derivatives and resolves mismatches in dual hedge relationships. | Annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026. | Under assessment |

| ASU 2025-11 | December 2025 | The amendments clarify interim reporting by establishing a complete list of required GAAP interim disclosures. They introduce a disclosure principle requiring entities to report material events occurring after the annual reporting period. The Update also clarifies types of interim reports and the form and content of interim financial statements. Overall, the changes enhance clarity and consistency without altering existing disclosure requirements. | Interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. | Under assessment |

6. INCOME TAXES
As a rate-regulated utility company, the Company recovers income taxes from its ratepayers based on estimated current income tax expense in respect of its regulated business. The amounts of deferred income taxes related to regulated operations which are considered to be more likely-than-not to be recoverable from, or refundable to, ratepayers in future periods are recognized as deferred income tax regulatory assets or deferred income tax regulatory liabilities, with an offset to deferred income tax recovery or deferred income tax expense, respectively. The Company’s consolidated income tax expense or income tax recovery for the period includes all current and deferred income tax expenses for the period net of the regulated accounting offset to deferred income tax expense arising from temporary differences to be recovered from, or refunded to, customers in future rates. Thus, the Company’s income tax expense or income tax recovery differs from the amount that would have been recorded using the statutory income tax rate. As the Company operates in Ontario, it is subject to the combined Canadian federal and Ontario statutory rates of 26.5%.
The reconciliation between the statutory and the effective tax rates is provided as follows:

Risk Management
Exposure to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk arises in the normal course of the Company’s business.
Market Risk
Market risk refers primarily to the risk of loss which results from changes in values, foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, as its regulated return on equity is derived using a formulaic approach that takes anticipated interest rates into account. The Company issues U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt; however, the associated foreign exchange exposure is substantially mitigated through cross-currency swaps. Accordingly, the Company is not currently exposed to material foreign exchange risk. The Company is not currently exposed to material commodity price risk.
The Company uses a combination of fixed and variable-rate debt to manage the mix of its debt portfolio. The Company also uses derivative financial instruments to manage interest-rate and foreign exchange risk. The Company may utilize interest-rate swaps designated as fair value hedges as a means to manage its interest rate exposure to achieve a lower cost of debt. The Company may also utilize interest-rate derivative instruments, such as cash flow hedges, to manage its exposure to short-term interest rates or to lock in interest-rate levels on forecasted financing. The Company may utilize cross-currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges to manage its exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations, by converting U.S. dollar-denominated principal and interest cash flows into fixed Canadian dollar-denominated cash flows.
A hypothetical 100 basis points increase in interest rates associated with variable-rate debt would not have resulted in a significant decrease to Hydro One’s net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the unrealized gain or loss, after tax, on the derivative instrument is recorded as other comprehensive income (OCI) or other comprehensive loss (OCL) and is reclassified to net income or net loss in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects results of operations. The following table shows the amounts recorded in OCL and reclassified to financing charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended June 30 | Six months ended June 30 |
(millions of dollars) | 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 |
| | | | |
| Amounts recorded in OCL/OCI | | | | |
| Before tax loss (gain) | 12 | | (1) | | 12 | | 2 | |
| After tax loss (gain) | 9 | | (1) | | 9 | | 1 | |
| Amounts reclassified to financing charges | | | | |
| Before tax loss | 1 | | 1 | | 3 | | 2 | |
| After tax loss | 1 | | — | | 2 | | 1 | |
This resulted in an accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) of $10 million related to cash flow hedges as at June 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - $3 million).
The Company estimates that the amount of AOCL, after tax, related to cash flow hedges to be reclassified to results of operations in the next 12 months is approximately $3 million. Actual amounts reclassified to results of operations depend on the interest rate in effect until the derivative contracts mature. The amounts reclassified to results of operations are also based on actual foreign exchange gains and losses recognized on the underlying hedged exposure. For all forecasted transactions, as at June 30, 2026, the maximum term over which the Company is hedging exposures to the variability of cash flows is approximately five years.
The Pension Plan manages market risk by diversifying investments in accordance with the Pension Plan’s Statement of Investment Policies and Procedures. Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect the fair value of the Pension Plan’s financial instruments. In addition, changes in interest rates can also impact discount rates which impact the valuation of the pension and post-retirement and post-employment liabilities. Currency risk is the risk that the value of the Pension Plan’s financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar. Other price risk is the risk that the value of the Pension Plan’s investments in equity securities will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest risk or currency risk. All three factors may contribute to changes in values of the Pension Plan investments. See Note 17 - Pension and Post-Retirement and Post-Employment Benefits for further details.
Credit Risk
Financial assets create a risk that a counterparty will fail to discharge an obligation, causing a financial loss. As at June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk with respect to any class of financial assets. The Company’s revenue is earned from a broad base of customers. As a result, Hydro One did not earn a material amount of revenue from any single customer. As at June 30, 2026 and 2025, there was no material accounts receivable balance due from any single customer.
As at June 30, 2026, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $63 million (December 31, 2025 - $57 million). The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company's current expected credit loss for all accounts receivable balances, which
HYDRO ONE LIMITED
NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
are based on historical overdue balances, customer payments and write-offs. As at June 30, 2026, approximately 9% (December 31, 2025 - 7%) of the Company’s net accounts receivable were outstanding for more than 60 days.
Hydro One manages its counterparty credit risk through various techniques including (i) entering into transactions with highly rated counterparties, (ii) limiting total exposure levels with individual counterparties, (iii) entering into master agreements which enable net settlement and the contractual right of offset, and (iv) monitoring the financial condition of counterparties. The Company monitors current credit exposure to counterparties on both an individual and an aggregate basis. The Company’s credit risk for accounts receivable is limited to the carrying amounts on the consolidated balance sheets.
Derivative financial instruments result in exposure to credit risk since there is a risk of counterparty default. The maximum credit exposure of derivative contracts, before collateral, is represented by the fair value of contracts in an asset position at the reporting date. As at June 30, 2026 and 2025, Hydro One’s credit exposure for all derivative instruments and applicable payables was with four (2025 - one) financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings as counterparties.
The Pension Plan manages its counterparty credit risk with respect to bonds by investing in investment-grade corporate and government bonds and with respect to derivative instruments by transacting only with highly rated financial institutions and by ensuring that exposure is diversified across counterparties.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk refers to the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations as they come due. Hydro One meets its short-term operating liquidity requirements using cash and cash equivalents on hand, funds from operations, the issuance of commercial paper, and the Operating Credit Facilities.

27. SEGMENTED REPORTING
The Company has three reportable segments: Transmission, Distribution, and Other. The composition of these segments is described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.
The designation of segments has been based on a combination of regulatory status and the nature of the services provided. Operating segments of the Company are determined based on information used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources and evaluate the performance of each of the segments. Hydro One’s CODM consists of its Chief Executive Officer and certain members of the executive leadership team. The CODM evaluates segment performance based on income before financing charges, equity income, and income tax expense from continuing operations (excluding certain allocated corporate governance costs) (EBIT). The CODM considers the key components of EBIT to understand the variances to prior period on a quarterly basis and measures them against the Company’s budget and forecast across each of the three segments on a monthly basis in order to properly allocate resources between and within the operating segments.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
The other segment consists primarily of Hydro One's subsidiary, Acronym Solutions Inc., which provides telecommunications support for the Company’s transmission and distribution businesses, as well as a comprehensive suite of Information Communication Technology solutions. The other segment also includes Aux Energy Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary that provides energy solutions to commercial and industrial clients, and a wholly-owned subsidiary that owns and operates electric vehicle fast charging stations across Ontario under the Ivy Charging Network brand, as well as certain corporate activities, and is not rate-regulated.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, Hydro One's segments accounted for the Company's total revenues, as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Six months ended June 30 | 2026 | 2025 |
| Transmission | 27 | % | 28 | % |
| Distribution | 72 | % | 71 | % |
| Other | 1 | % | 1 | % |
When adjusted for the recovery of purchased power costs, Hydro One’s segments accounted for the Company’s total revenues, net of purchased power,1 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Six months ended June 30 | 2026 | 2025 |

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Income
Net income attributable to common shareholders of Hydro One for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 of $370 million is an increase of $43 million, or 13.1%, compared to the same period in 2025. Significant influences on the change in net income attributable to the common shareholders include:
•higher revenues, net of purchased power,1 primarily resulting from an increase in transmission and distribution revenues due to Ontario Energy Board (OEB)-approved 2026 rates, and higher average monthly peak demand.
•higher OM&A as a result of higher work program expenditures, including emergency power restoration and lines maintenance work.
•lower depreciation, amortization and asset removal costs primarily due to lower asset removal costs resulting from lower volume of storm restoration activities, partially offset by higher depreciation due to growth in capital assets.
•higher financing charges primarily due to an increase in outstanding long-term debt, partially offset by higher capitalized interest.
•higher income tax expense primarily resulting from higher pre-tax earnings, partially offset by higher deductible timing differences.
Net income attributable to common shareholders of Hydro One for the six months ended June 30, 2026 of $761 million is $76 million, or 11.1%, higher than the same period in 2025. Year-to-date results were impacted by similar factors as noted above, with the following exceptions:
•Depreciation, amortization and asset removal costs on a year-to-date basis were in-line with prior year; and
•Income tax expense on a year-to-date basis was lower than the prior year, primarily resulting from higher deductible timing differences than the prior year, partially offset by higher pre-tax earnings. Income tax expense on a year-to-date basis was higher than the prior year when adjusted for additional tax deductions from the re-introduction of accelerated capital cost allowance, that are offset by a corresponding reduction in revenue, and therefore net income neutral.
EPS
EPS was $0.62 and $1.27 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to EPS of $0.54 and $1.14 in the same periods of 2025. The increase in EPS was primarily driven by higher earnings year-over-year, as discussed above.

1 See section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.
Transmission Revenues
Transmission revenues increased by 7.2% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to:
•higher revenues resulting from OEB-approved 2026 rates; and
•higher average monthly peak demand; partially offset by
•net income neutral items, mainly attributable to lower revenues associated with a regulatory tax adjustment related to re-introduction of accelerated capital cost allowance, which is offset in income tax expense.
Transmission revenues increased by 5.8% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to similar factors noted above.
Distribution Revenues
Distribution revenues increased by 12.9% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to:
•higher purchased power costs, which are fully recovered from ratepayers and thus net income neutral;
•higher revenues resulting from OEB-approved 2026 rates; and
•higher energy consumption; partially offset by
•net income neutral items, mainly related to lower revenue from the recovery of 2025 storm-related costs incurred on behalf of third parties, and the OEB-approved recovery of regulatory assets in the prior period, which are offset in OM&A.
Distribution revenues increased by 12.3% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to similar factors as noted above, as well as lower revenues associated with a regulatory tax adjustment related to re-introduction of accelerated capital cost allowance, which is offset in income tax expense and therefore net income neutral.
Distribution revenues, net of purchased power,2 increased by 2.4% and 1.7% compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the reasons noted above.
OM&A Costs
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended June 30 | | Six months ended June 30 |
(millions of dollars, except as otherwise noted) | 2026 | 2025 | Change | | 2026 | 2025 | Change |

| 331 | | 320 | | 3.4 | % | | 660 | | 652 | | 1.2 | % |
Transmission OM&A Costs
Transmission OM&A costs were 4.7% higher than the quarter ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to:
•higher corporate support costs; and
•higher spend on vegetation management; partially offset by
•a one-time reduction to the property tax provision.
2 See section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.
HYDRO ONE LIMITED
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Transmission OM&A costs were 3.9% higher than the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to similar factors to those noted above.
Distribution OM&A Costs
Distribution OM&A costs were 3.7% higher than the quarter ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to:
•higher work program expenditures, including emergency power restoration and lines maintenance work; and
•higher corporate support costs; partially offset by
•net income neutral items including costs related to a storm in the prior year that were recovered from third parties and OM&A associated with the OEB-approved recovery of cost deferrals in the prior year, both of which are offset in revenue.
Distribution OM&A costs were 0.9% lower than the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to:
•net income neutral items including OM&A associated with the OEB-approved recovery of cost deferrals in the prior year, and costs related to a storm in the prior year that were recovered from third parties, both of which were offset in revenue; partially offset by
•higher work program expenditures, including emergency power restoration and lines maintenance work; and
•higher corporate support costs.
Depreciation, Amortization and Asset Removal Costs
Depreciation, amortization and asset removal costs decreased by $8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower asset removal costs resulting from lower volume of storm restoration activities compared to the prior year, partially offset by higher depreciation expense attributed to the growth in capital assets as the Company continues to place new assets in-service.
Depreciation, amortization and asset removal costs of $553 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, were in-line with the prior year.
Financing Charges
Financing charges increased by $12 million and $25 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, primarily due to an increase in outstanding long-term debt, partially offset by higher capitalized interest.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense of $69 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compares to $61 million for the same period in 2025. The $8 million year-over-year increase was primarily due to:
•higher pre-tax earnings; partially offset by
•higher deductible timing differences than the prior year, including additional tax deductions from the re-introduction of accelerated capital cost allowance, that are offset by a corresponding reduction in revenue, and therefore net income neutral.
Income tax expense of $110 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compares to $129 million for the same period in 2025. The $19 million year-over-year decrease was primarily due to:
•higher deductible timing differences than the prior year, including additional tax deductions from the re-introduction of accelerated capital cost allowance, that are offset by a corresponding reduction in revenue, and therefore net income neutral; partially offset by
•higher pre-tax earnings.
The Company realized an effective tax rate (ETR) of approximately 15.6% and 12.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to approximately 15.6% and 15.8% in the same periods of 2025. There was no change in the ETR for the three-month period, while the 3.3% decrease in the ETR for the six-month period was primarily attributable to the factors discussed above.

Variations in revenues and net income attributable to common shareholders over the quarters are primarily due to the impact of seasonal weather conditions on customer demand and market pricing, as well as timing of regulatory decisions.
CAPITAL INVESTMENTS
Capital investments represent additions to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, including capitalized interest and overhead costs incurred during construction. Assets placed in-service represent completed capital assets that have been transferred into service and are available for their intended use during the period, and as applicable, included in the Company’s rate-regulated asset base. The Company makes capital investments to maintain the safety, reliability and integrity of its transmission and distribution system assets and to provide for the ongoing growth and modernization required to meet the expanding and evolving needs of its customers and the electricity market. This is achieved through a combination of sustaining capital investments, which are required to support the continued operation of Hydro One’s existing assets, and development capital investments, which involve additions to both existing assets and large-scale projects such as new transmission lines and transmission stations.
Assets Placed In-Service
The following table presents Hydro One’s assets placed in-service during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Transmission Assets Placed In-Service
Transmission assets placed in-service increased by $217 million, or 147.6%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to:
•timing of assets placed in-service for station refurbishments and replacements; partially offset by
•investments placed in-service for the Orillia Distribution Warehouse in the prior year.
Transmission assets placed in-service increased by $290 million, or 86.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to similar factors noted above as well as investments placed in-service for high-voltage underground cable replacements; partially offset by the in-service of a customer connection project at the South Middle Road Transmission Station in the prior year.
Distribution Assets Placed In-Service
Distribution assets placed in-service decreased by $162 million, or 36.9%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to:
•lower volume of storm-related asset replacements;
•investments placed in-service for the Orillia Distribution Warehouse in the prior year; and
•timing of investments placed in-service for system capability reinforcement projects; partially offset by
•investments placed in-service for Ontario’s broadband initiative; and
•assets placed in-service for the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) 2.0 system.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Future Capital Investments
The Company estimates future capital investments based on management’s expectations of the amount of capital expenditures that will be required to provide transmission and distribution services that are efficient, reliable, and provide value for customers, consistent with the OEB’s Renewed Regulatory Framework. The Company includes projects when there is a high degree of confidence that the project will go forward and when there is a thorough estimate of the expected expenditures.
On August 28, 2025, the Company submitted a Z-Factor application which sought recovery of the incremental revenue requirement associated with $223 million of storm-related costs, including capital and asset removal costs, incurred for a severe storm that began on March 28, 2025. On April 7, 2026, the OEB issued its Decision and Order for the Z-Factor application, denying the recovery of $69 million in incremental revenue requirement.
The 2026 and 2027 capital estimates have been updated during the three months ended June 30, 2026 to reflect the estimated costs of the Northeast Power Line and the Longwood to Lakeshore Transmission Line projects filed with the OEB on May 19, 2026 through leave-to-construct applications, as well as the Durham Kawartha Power Line project filed with the OEB on June 12, 2026 through a leave-to-construct application (see section “Other Developments” for further details).
The Company had updated its plan in the first quarter, for required Broadband investments, consistent with the detailed construction schedule submitted to the Province.

HYDRO ONE LIMITED
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Net cash from operating activities
Net cash from operating activities increased by $81 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was mainly attributable to:
•higher pre-tax earnings; and
•changes in regulatory account balances; partially offset by
•changes in net working capital primarily attributable to timing differences in the settlement of receivables and payables, and lower cost of power payable to the IESO driven by lower purchased volumes, partially offset by higher accrued liabilities, and higher unearned revenue related to capital contributions.
Net cash from operating activities decreased by $35 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease was mainly attributable to:
•changes in net working capital primarily attributable to lower accrued liabilities, lower cost of power payable to the IESO driven by lower purchased volumes, and timing differences in the settlement of payables, partially offset by timing differences in the settlement of receivables, and higher unearned revenue related to capital contributions; and
•changes in regulatory account balances; partially offset by
•higher pre-tax earnings.
Net cash from financing activities
Net cash from financing activities increased by $478 million and $432 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. This was impacted by various factors, including the following:
Sources of cash
•the Company issued $1,373 million of long-term debt in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $nil issued in the same periods last year.
•the Company received proceeds of $925 million and $1,725 million from the issuance of short-term notes in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $2,065 million and $3,140 million received in the same periods last year.
Uses of cash
•the Company repaid $1,425 million and $1,725 million of short-term notes in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $1,350 million and $1,965 million repaid in the same periods last year.
•the Company repaid $nil and $500 million of long-term debt in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $350 million and $750 million paid in the same periods last year.
•common share dividends paid in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026 were $212 million and $412 million, respectively, compared to dividends of $200 million and $388 million paid in the same periods last year.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $99 million and $342 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The decrease in the second quarter was primarily due to lower capital expenditures, partially offset by higher additions to future use assets. The year-to-date decrease was primarily due to similar factors noted above as well as the investment in EWT LP (see section “Other Developments - EWT LP”) in the prior year.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCING STRATEGY
Short-term liquidity is provided through FFO,3 Hydro One Inc.’s commercial paper program, and the Company’s consolidated bank credit facilities. Under the commercial paper program, Hydro One Inc. is authorized to issue up to $2,300 million in short-term notes with a term to maturity of up to 365 days.
As at June 30, 2026, Hydro One Inc. had $100 million in commercial paper borrowings outstanding, compared to $100 million outstanding at December 31, 2025. The Company also has committed, unsecured, and revolving credit facilities (Operating Credit Facilities) with a total available balance of $3,900 million as at June 30, 2026. The Operating Credit Facilities include a pricing adjustment which can increase or decrease Hydro One’s cost of borrowing based on its performance on certain sustainability performance measures, which are related to Hydro One's sustainability goals. On June 1, 2026, Hydro One Inc. increased the committed amount under the Operating Credit Facilities by $600 million and extended the maturity date of the Operating Credit Facilities from 2030 to 2031. No amounts were drawn on the Operating Credit Facilities as at June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025. The Company may use the Operating Credit Facilities for working capital and general corporate purposes. The short-term liquidity under the commercial paper program, the Operating Credit Facilities, available cash on hand and anticipated levels of FFO3 are expected to be sufficient to fund the Company’s operating requirements.

REGULATION
Ontario Integrated Energy Plan
On June 12, 2025, the Ontario government released its first integrated energy plan (IEP), Energy for Generations, which aims to leverage electricity, natural gas, hydrogen, storage and other energy sources to provide Ontario with affordable, secure, reliable and clean energy to power growth and jobs across the province. The IEP establishes a planning horizon out to 2050, including the acceleration of the development of transmission infrastructure and the modernization of the distribution grid. As part of the IEP, the government announced the advancement of several transmission projects, including those aimed to enhance transmission capacity between Northern and Southern Ontario, east of Toronto, in Southwestern Ontario and in Northern Ontario.
The IEP also addressed the need for additional transmission capacity in the Red Lake Area in Northwestern Ontario. In August 2025, the IESO released the Northwest Region Integrated Regional Resource Plan Addendum (Addendum). The Addendum recommends the urgent development of the Red Lake Transmission Line, a double-circuit 230 kV transmission line that will run from Dryden Transformer Station to Ear Falls Transformer Station, and another double-circuit 230 kV transmission line that will run from Ear Falls Transformer Station to Red Lake Switching Station, along with associated station facilities, to meet growing capacity needs after 2028. The project is expected to be in service by the early 2030s. On October 29, 2025, the Ministry of Energy and Mines (Ministry) announced a proposal to bring forward an Order in Council (to be recommended by the Minister) to declare the projects as priority and a companion directive, that would, if approved, direct the OEB to amend Hydro One Networks’ transmitter licence to require it to undertake development work and seek all necessary approvals to construct the projects. The consultation period for the proposal closed on December 13, 2025.
On April 23, 2026 the Minister notified the OEB that the two lines were declared priority projects, and issued a directive to the OEB to amend Hydro One Networks’ transmission license, to require it to develop and seek approvals for the projects. On April 28, 2026, further to the Minister’s Directive, the OEB amended Hydro One Networks’ electricity transmission license to allow it to develop and seek approvals for the projects in accordance with the recommendations of the IESO.
IESO’s Transmitter Selection Framework
On July 31, 2025, the IESO announced the launch of the Transmitter Selection Framework (TSF) Registry. Registration enables transmitters to participate in future competitive IESO transmission procurements. Hydro One submitted an application to be included in the TSF Registry. On May 20, 2026, Hydro One was approved as a TSF Registrant by the IESO.
Next Generation Rate Framework Consultation
On January 8, 2026, the OEB announced a new policy consultation to develop an updated rate-setting framework for electricity distributors. The consultation will bring together existing OEB consultations under a new comprehensive policy consultation

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
known as the Next Generation Rate Framework (Framework) consultation. The OEB plans to build on the Renewed Regulatory Framework that was established in 2012, given the significant changes in the energy and policy landscape. The OEB consulted on the scope of the review in January and February 2026, including reviewing all aspects of its current ratemaking policies to ensure that they continue to facilitate the cost-effective and efficient implementation of the government's policy objectives.
Building Broadband Faster Act, 2021
A regulation regarding electricity infrastructure and designated broadband projects under the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998 (OEBA) (O.Reg. 410/22) came into force on April 21, 2022, and on March 28, 2023, the Province amended the OEBA (O.Reg. 410/22) with respect to performance timelines associated with designated broadband projects.
On October 31, 2024, the Ministry of Infrastructure (MOI) announced that it has developed a program to deliver up to $400 million in subsidies to internet service providers (ISPs) for work associated with designated broadband projects. The program is intended to enable ISPs to successfully and safely attach their material and equipment to the Company’s poles to bring connectivity to rural communities as part of a designated broadband project. A portion of the subsidies will be used to reimburse Hydro One Networks on behalf of ISPs for their share of enablement costs incurred to facilitate the program to date (see section “Related Party Transactions”). On April 27, 2026, the Ministry increased the maximum subsidies to $482 million.
OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
EWT LP
On March 4, 2025, Hydro One Networks completed the acquisition of an approximate 48% interest in the EWT LP for approximately $261 million in cash, including closing adjustments. The partnership owns the East-West Tie Line, a 450-kilometre, 230-kV double-circuit transmission line spanning between Wawa and Thunder Bay, along the north shore of Lake Superior. In February 2026, Bamkushwada Limited Partnership, a group of First Nation Partners, exercised its right to acquire additional interest in EWT LP. Following the transaction, Hydro One’s ownership in EWT LP was diluted to 40%.
Supporting Critical Transmission Infrastructure in Southwestern Ontario
On March 31, 2022, the Minister (formerly the Minister of Energy) directed the OEB to amend Hydro One Networks' licence to require it to develop and seek approvals for four priority transmission line projects to meet growing electricity demand in Southwestern Ontario, including the Longwood to Lakeshore Transmission Line. On April 7, 2022, further to the Minister’s Directive, the OEB amended Hydro One Networks’ electricity transmission licence to require it to develop and seek approvals for the projects in accordance with the recommendations of the IESO.
On May 19, 2026, Hydro One Networks filed a leave-to-construct application seeking OEB approval for the Longwood to Lakeshore Transmission Line, a single-circuit 500 kV transmission line between the Longwood Transformer Station in the Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc and the Lakeshore Transformer Station in the Municipality of Lakeshore.
Supporting Critical Transmission Infrastructure in Northwestern Ontario
On April 16, 2024, the OEB issued its Decision and Order granting Hydro One Networks leave to construct the Waasigan Transmission Line Project, with standard conditions of approval.
On March 20, 2026, Waasigan Transmission Limited Partnership (WTLP) was formed to own and operate the transmission line, and Waasigan Transmission GP Inc. (WTGP) was formed as the General Partner of WTLP. On July 20, 2026, Hydro One Networks, on behalf of WTGP, requested certain approvals from the OEB, including obtaining an electricity transmission licence for WTGP, as a general partner on behalf of WTLP, and approval for Hydro One Networks to sell assets related to the Waasigan Transmission Line Project to WTGP, as a general partner on behalf of WTLP.
Supporting Critical Transmission Infrastructure in Northeastern and Eastern Ontario
On July 10, 2023, the Ministry announced a proposal to take certain actions to facilitate the timely development of three priority transmission line projects across Northeastern and Eastern Ontario, including the Northeast Power Line and the Durham Kawartha Power Line. On October 23, 2023, the Minister (formerly the Minister of Energy) directed the OEB to amend Hydro One Networks’ licence to require it to develop and seek approvals for the three projects. On November 14, 2023, further to the Minister’s Directive, the OEB amended Hydro One Networks’ electricity transmission licence to require it to develop and seek approvals for the projects in accordance with the recommendations of the IESO.
On May 19, 2026, Hydro One Networks filed a leave-to-construct application seeking the OEB’s approval for the Northeast Power Line, a single-circuit 500 kV transmission line between Hanmer Transformer Station in the Greater Sudbury Area, and the Mississagi Transformer Station, near Wharncliffe.

Orléans Area Reinforcement Project
The IESO-led regional planning process for the Greater Ottawa Region identified growing electricity demand in the Orléans area. In 2022, the Greater Ottawa Regional Planning Technical Working Group recommended that additional electricity supply be provided to meet forecast load growth, including a new 230 kV supply from Hawthorne Transformer Station to Orléans Transformer Station. On May 29, 2026, Hydro One Networks Inc. filed a leave-to-construct application seeking the OEB’s approval for the Orléans Area Reinforcement Project consistent with the regional planning recommendations. The Project includes the construction of a new 115 kV transmission line within an existing transmission corridor between Hawthorne Transformer Station and Orléans Transformer Station, located in the Greater Ottawa Area. The project also includes converting an existing 115 kV transmission line between the two stations to a standard 230 kV transmission line. See section "Major Transmission Capital Investment Projects” for additional information.
Collective Agreements
On March 23, 2026, Hydro One and the Canadian Union of Skilled Workers (CUSW) commenced collective bargaining. The prior Hydro One - CUSW collective agreement expired on April 30, 2026. On April 24, 2026, Hydro One and CUSW reached a tentative agreement for a renewal collective agreement. On June 11, 2026, the agreement was ratified by the CUSW-represented employees for a term from May 1, 2026, to April 30, 2030.
Bill C-15, Budget 2025 Implementation Act, No.1
On March 26, 2026, Bill C‑15, An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on November 4, 2025, received Royal Assent.
Impact
Federal budget measures enacted as part of Bill C-15 included time-limited investment incentives permitting Hydro One to claim enhanced capital cost allowance of up to three times the first-year rate for eligible capital investments acquired after 2024 and placed in-service before 2034. The re-introduction of accelerated capital cost allowance temporarily reduces the Company’s ETR and results in the recognition of a tax regulatory liability for the amounts that have not been reflected in OEB‑approved rates.
Estimated ETR Change
The re‑introduction of accelerated capital cost allowance is expected to lower the Company’s ETR to a range of approximately 11% to 15% during the current rate period (until 2027).
HYDRO ONE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Board of Directors
Effective February 19, 2026, Debbie (Deb) Hutton was appointed to the Board.
Effective June 9, 2026, Perrin Beatty was elected to the Board.
Directors Helga Reidel and Mitch Panciuk did not stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on June 9, 2026.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Hydro One uses a number of non-GAAP financial measures to assess its performance. The Company presents FFO or “funds from operations” to reflect a measure of the Company’s cash flow; revenues, net of purchased power, to reflect the impact of revenue on net income; and net debt to reflect a measure of the Company’s financial leverage.
Hydro One also uses financial ratios that are non-GAAP ratios such as the net debt to capitalization ratio and annualized FFO to net debt ratio to reflect a measure of the Company’s financial leverage, and the earnings coverage ratio to reflect a measure of liquidity.
HYDRO ONE LIMITED
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
FFO
FFO is defined as net cash from operating activities, adjusted for changes in non-cash balances related to operations and distributions to noncontrolling interest. Management believes that FFO is helpful as a supplemental measure of the Company’s operating cash flows as it excludes timing-related fluctuations in non-cash operating working capital and cash flows not attributable to common shareholders. As such, management believes that FFO provides a consistent measure of the cash generating performance of the Company’s assets.
The following table provides a reconciliation of reported GAAP results to non-GAAP results on a consolidated basis.

| FFO | | | 706 | | 617 | | | 1,411 | | 1,300 | |
Revenues, Net of Purchased Power
Revenues, net of purchased power, is defined as revenues less the cost of purchased power; distribution revenues, net of purchased power, is defined as distribution revenues less the cost of purchased power. These measures are used internally by management to assess the impacts of revenue on net income and are considered useful because they exclude the cost of power that is fully recovered through revenues and therefore net income neutral.
The following tables provide a reconciliation of reported GAAP revenues to non-GAAP revenues, net of purchased power, on a consolidated basis.

Net Debt
The Company uses net debt as an alternative measure of outstanding debt. Management considers net debt as an important measure in assessing the financial leverage of the Company. Net debt is used by management to assess the Company’s overall debt position and financial leverage.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net debt as reported in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| Net Debt | | | 19,385 | | 18,568 | |
Net Debt to Capitalization Ratio
The Company believes that the net debt to capitalization ratio is an important non-GAAP ratio as a measure of the Company’s financial leverage. Net debt to capitalization ratio has been calculated as net debt, as described above, divided by net debt plus total shareholders’ equity, but excluding any amounts related to noncontrolling interest. Management believes that the net debt to capitalization ratio is helpful as a measure of the proportion of debt in the Company's capital structure.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Annualized FFO to Net Debt
Management believes that the annualized FFO to net debt ratio is helpful as a measure of the Company’s financial leverage. Annualized FFO to net debt ratio has been calculated as FFO (see section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures - FFO”) on a rolling twelve-month period divided by net debt at the period end date (see section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures – Net Debt”). Management believes the annualized FFO to net debt ratio is helpful as a measure of the company’s ability to pay off its debt using the Company’s net operating income.
The following table provides a reconciliation of reported GAAP results to non-GAAP results on a consolidated basis.

Earnings Coverage Ratio
Earnings coverage ratio is defined as earnings before income taxes, financing charges and equity income (loss) attributable to shareholders, divided by the sum of financing charges and capitalized interest, and is calculated on a rolling twelve-month basis. The Company believes that the earnings coverage ratio is an important non-GAAP measure in the management of its liquidity.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION
The Company’s oral and written public communications, including this document, often contain “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable U.S. securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking information”). Statements containing forward-looking information are made pursuant to the “safe harbour” provisions of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws. Forward-looking information in this document is based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the Company’s business, the industry, regulatory and economic environments in which it operates, and includes beliefs and assumptions made by the management of the Company. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the Company’s corporate strategy; the Company’s transmission and distribution rate and revenue requirement applications including the JRAP and its proposed investment plan, resulting and related decisions as well as resulting rates, recovery and expected impacts and timing; expectations about the Company’s liquidity and capital resources and operational requirements; sustainability goals; the Operating Credit Facilities; expectations regarding the Company’s financing activities, including the Company’s expectation that a new Universal Base Shelf Prospectus will be filed in the third quarter of 2026; expectations that the re-introduction of an accelerated capital cost allowance will lower the Company’s ETR to 11% to 15% during the current rate period (to 2027); the Company’s maturing debt; expectations and impact of the Company’s credit ratings; the Company’s ongoing and planned projects (including construction of transmission stations and lines) and expected capital investments and plans, including expected scope, approvals, results, costs, funding sources, increased transfer capacities, potential job creation and in-service and completion dates; cross-currency swap agreements; contractual obligations and other commercial commitments; future pension plan contributions, including estimates of total Company pension contributions; the expected advancement and construction of various transmission stations and transmission lines in connection with the Province’s integrated energy plan and the target in-service dates; collective agreements and bargaining; dividends; non-GAAP financial measures; internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure; the MTN Program; and accounting-related guidance and expected impacts. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “attempt,” “may,” “plan,” “will,” “would,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” “goal,” “aim,” “target,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve assumptions and risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Hydro One does not intend, and it disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
These forward-looking statements are based on a variety of factors and assumptions including, but not limited to, the following: no unforeseen changes in the legislative and operating framework for Ontario’s electricity market or for Hydro One specifically; favourable decisions from the OEB and other regulatory bodies concerning outstanding and future rate and other applications; no unexpected delays in obtaining required regulatory approvals; no unforeseen changes in rate orders or rate setting methodologies for the Company’s distribution and transmission businesses; no unfavourable changes in environmental regulation; continued use of U.S. GAAP; a stable regulatory environment; no significant changes to the Company's current credit ratings; no unforeseen impacts of new accounting pronouncements; no changes to expectations regarding electricity consumption; no unforeseen changes to economic and market conditions; completion of operating and capital projects that have been deferred; and no significant event occurring outside the ordinary course of business. These assumptions are based on information currently available to the Company, including information obtained from third-party sources. Actual results may differ materially from those predicted by such forward-looking statements. While Hydro One does not know what impact any of these differences may have, the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and credit stability may be materially adversely affected if any such differences occur. Factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among other things:
•regulatory risks and risks relating to Hydro One’s revenues, including risks relating to actual performance against forecasts, competition with other transmitters and other applications to the OEB, the rate-setting models for transmission and distribution, the recoverability of capital expenditures, obtaining rate orders or recoverability of total compensation costs;
•risks associated with the Province’s share ownership of Hydro One and other relationships with the Province, including potential conflicts of interest that may arise between Hydro One, the Province and related parties, risks associated with the Province’s exercise of further legislative and regulatory powers, risks relating to the ability of the Company to attract and retain qualified executive talent or the risk of a credit rating downgrade for the Company and its impact on the Company’s funding and liquidity;
