RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

Net income attributable to common shareholders of Hydro One for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 of $371 million is an increase of $14 million, or 3.9%, compared to the same period in 2023. Significant influences on the change in net income attributable to common shareholders of Hydro One included:

•higher revenues, net of purchased power,1 resulting from an increase in transmission and distribution revenues due to Ontario Energy Board (OEB) approved 2024 rates as well as higher average monthly peak demand and higher energy consumption.

•higher income tax expense primarily due to lower deductible timing differences and higher pre-tax earnings, adjusted for net income neutral items.

•higher financing charges attributable to higher interest on long-term debt, partially offset by lower average volume of short-term notes outstanding and higher capitalized interest.

•higher depreciation, amortization and asset removal costs primarily due to growth in capital assets as the Company continues to place new assets in-service and higher asset removal costs, partially offset by lower amortization of regulatory assets.

Net income attributable to common shareholders of Hydro One for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $956 million is $52 million, or 5.8%, higher compared to the same period in 2023. Year-to-date results were impacted by similar factors as noted above. While net income neutral, the year-to-date results were also impacted by the cessation of the OEB-approved recovery of deferred tax asset (DTA) amounts previously shared with ratepayers (DTA Recovery Amounts) on June 30, 2023 (see section “Regulation - Deferred Tax Asset” for further details) which resulted in a decrease in revenue that has been offset by lower income tax expense.

EPS

EPS of $0.62 and$1.60 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compares to EPS of $0.60 and $1.51 in the same periods of 2023. The increase in EPS was primarily driven by the impact of higher earnings year-over-year, as discussed above.

1 Revenues, net of purchased power, is a non-GAAP financial measure. See section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

Transmission Revenues

Transmission revenues increased by 5.7% compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to:

•higher revenues resulting from OEB-approved 2024 rates; and

•higher average monthly peak demand; partially offset by

•net income neutral items, including lower revenue related to the OEB-approved recovery of regulatory assets in the prior period which is offset in OM&A.

Transmission revenues increased by 3.3% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to similar factors as noted above, partially offset by lower revenues associated with the cessation of the DTA Recovery period which is offset in income tax expense, and therefore net income neutral.

Distribution revenues

Distribution revenues increased by 16.7% compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to:

•higher purchased power costs, which are fully recovered from ratepayers and thus net income neutral;

•higher revenues resulting from OEB-approved 2024 rates; and

•higher energy consumption.

Distribution revenues increased by 11.4% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to similar factors as noted above, partially offset by lower revenues associated with the cessation of the DTA Recovery period and lower revenue of Hydro One Remotes, which are offset in income tax expense and OM&A, respectively, and therefore net income neutral.

Distribution revenues, net of purchased power,2 increased by 6.1% and 3.3% compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, primarily due to the reasons noted above, adjusted for the recovery of purchased power costs.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS(continued)

For the three and nine monthsended September 30, 2024 and 2023

OM&A Costs

	Three months ended September 30				Nine months ended September 30
(millions of dollars, except as otherwise noted)	2024	2023	Change		2024	2023	Change
Transmission	113	111	1.8	%	347	358	(3.1	%)
Distribution	155	162	(4.3	%)	517	535	(3.4	%)
Other	26	20	30.0	%	71	64	10.9	%
	294	293	0.3	%	935	957	(2.3	%)

Transmission OM&A Costs

Transmission OM&A costs were 1.8% higher than the quarter ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to:

•higher work program expenditures mainly attributable to stations and lines maintenance and vegetation management; partially offset by

•lower OM&A associated with the OEB-approved recovery of historical cost deferrals, which is offset in revenue and therefore net income neutral.

Transmission OM&A costs were 3.1% lower than the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the factors noted above further offset by insurance proceeds received in 2024 and lower corporate support costs.

Distribution OM&A Costs

Distribution OM&A costs were 4.3% lower than the quarter ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to:

•lower corporate support costs;

•regulatory adjustments, including the forecasted regulatory recovery of certain costs in accordance with the OEB-approved Getting Ontario Connected Act Variance Account; and

•higher allowance for doubtful accounts; partially offset by

•higher work program expenditures mainly attributable to customer programs and emergency power restoration.

Distribution OM&A costs were 3.4% lower than the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to similar factors to those noted above, as well as lower fuel costs of Hydro One Remotes, which are fully recovered through revenue and therefore net income neutral.

Depreciation, Amortization and Asset Removal Costs

Depreciation, amortization and asset removal costs increased by $15 million and $33 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023. The year-over-year increase in each period is primarily due to the growth in capital assets as the Company continues to place new assets in-service, consistent with its ongoing capital investment program, and higher asset removal costs, which are partially offset by lower amortization of regulatory assets.

Financing Charges

Financing charges increased by $15 million and $40 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, primarily due to higher interest on long-term debt as a result of higher weighted-average interest rates and higher average debt levels, partially offset by lower average volume of short-term notes outstanding and higher capitalized interest.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense of $56 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compares to $36 million for the same period in 2023. The $20 million year-over-year increase was primarily due to:

•lower deductible timing differences; and

•higher pre-tax earnings, adjusted for the net income neutral items; partially offset by

•net income neutral items, including OEB-approved recovery of cost deferrals recognized as regulatory assets in prior periods, that are offset by a corresponding reduction in revenue and therefore net income neutral.

Income tax expense of $164 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compares to $165 million for the same period in 2023. The year-over-year change was primarily due to similar factors to those noted above, as well as lower tax expense associated with the cessation of the DTA Recovery period on June 30, 2023, which is offset by a reduction in revenue and therefore net income neutral.

The Company realized an effective tax rate of approximately 13.0% and 14.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to approximately 9.1% and 15.3% in the same periods of 2023. The increase of 3.9% and the decrease of 0.8% in the respective periods was primarily attributable to the factors noted above.

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.

The 2024 to 2027 capital estimates were updated during the second quarter of 2024 to reflect the estimated costs of the St. Clair Transmission Line Project that was filed with the OEB on May 28, 2024 through a leave-to-construct application, as well as to reflect the estimated cost of the Chatham to Lakeshore Transmission Line Project submitted as part of the Revenue Requirement Application filed with the OEB on July 12, 2024 (see section "Other Developments - Supporting Critical Transmission Infrastructure in Southwestern Ontario" for further details).

The following tables summarize Hydro One’s annual projected capital investments for 2024 to 2027 by business segment and by category:

By business segment: (millions of dollars)	2024	2025	2026	2027

•changes in regulatory balances; and

•higher pre-tax earnings.

Net cash from (used in) financing activities

Net cash from financing activities increased by $280 million and $914 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023. This was impacted by various factors, including the following:

Sources of cash

•the Company issued $1,216 million and $2,016 million of long-term debt in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $425 million and $1,475 million issued in the same periods last year.

•the Company received proceeds of $705 million and $2,300 million from the issuance of short-term notes in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $2,120 million and $5,480 million received in the same periods last year.

Uses of cash

•the Company repaid $1,375 million and $2,370 million of short-term notes in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $2,295 million and $5,930 million repaid in the same periods last year.

•the Company repaid $nil and $700 million of long-term debt in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024, compared to $nil and $731 million paid in the same periods last year.

•common share dividends paid in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 were $189 million and $555 million, respectively, compared to dividends of $177 million and $522 million paid in the same periods last year.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $122 million and $461 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to higher capital investments. See section “Capital Investments” for comparability of capital investments made by the Company during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 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 September 30, 2024, Hydro One Inc. had $210 million in commercial paper borrowings outstanding, compared to $279 million outstanding at December 31, 2023. The Company also has committed, unsecured, and revolving credit facilities (Operating Credit Facilities) with a total available balance of $3,300 million as at September 30, 2024. The Operating Credit Facilities include a pricing adjustment which can increase or decrease Hydro One’s cost of funding based on its performance on certain Sustainability Performance Measures, which are related to Hydro One's sustainability goals. On June 1, 2024, Hydro One increased the committed amount under the Operating Credit Facilities by $750 million and the maturity date was extended from 2028 to 2029. No amounts were drawn on the Operating Credit Facilities as at September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. 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.

As at September 30, 2024, the Company had long-term debt outstanding in the principal amount of $16,745 million, which included $425 million of long-term debt issued by Hydro One and $16,320 million of long-term debt issued by Hydro One Inc. The long-term debt issued by Hydro One was issued under a previous short form base shelf prospectus. The majority of long-term debt issued by Hydro One Inc. has been issued under its Medium-Term Note (MTN) Program, as further described below. The Company's total long-term debt consists of notes and debentures that mature between 2025 and 2064, and as at September 30, 2024, had a weighted-average term to maturity of approximately 13.7 years (December 31, 2023 - 13.7 years) and a weighted-average coupon rate of 4.2% (December 31, 2023 - 4.1%).

In February 2024, Hydro One Inc. filed a short form base shelf prospectus in connection with its MTN Program, which expires in March 2026.

Building Broadband Faster Act, 2021

In March 2021, the Province introduced Bill 257, Supporting Broadband and Infrastructure Expansion Act, 2021, to create a new act entitled the Building Broadband Faster Act, 2021 (BBFA) that is aimed at supporting the timely deployment of broadband infrastructure within unserved and underserved rural Ontario communities. Bill 257 received Royal Assent on April 12, 2021. Bill 257 amended the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998 (OEBA) to provide the Province with regulation-making authority regarding the development of, access to, or use of electricity infrastructure for non-electricity purposes. The BBFA Guideline and two regulations informing the legislative changes were also published in 2021, with a third regulation on annual wireline attachment rate for telecommunications carriers issued in December 2021. The most recent Order and Decision from the OEB in November 2022 adjusts the annual wireline attachment rate to $36.05 per attacher per pole.

In March 2022, the Province introduced Bill 93 (Getting Ontario Connected Act, 2022). Bill 93 received Royal Assent on April 14, 2022. Bill 93 amends the BBFA to ensure that organizations that own underground utility infrastructure near a designated high-speed internet project provide timely access to their infrastructure data, which would allow internet service providers to quickly start work on laying down underground high-speed internet infrastructure.

A regulation regarding electricity infrastructure and designated broadband projects under the OEBA (O.Reg. 410/22) came into force on April 21, 2022. On July 7, 2022, the OEB established a deferral account for rate-regulated distributors to record incremental costs associated with carrying out activities pertaining to designated broadband projects. In September 2022, the Company launched its choice-based operating model to provide internet service providers with choices on how to access the Company’s infrastructure in order to effectively execute designated broadband projects. On March 28, 2023, the Province amended the OEBA (O.Reg. 410/22) with respect to performance timelines associated with designated broadband projects.

On June 3, 2024, Hydro One announced the appointment of Harry Taylor as EVP, Chief Financial and Regulatory Officer (CFRO), effective June 10, 2024.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Hydro One uses a number of financial measures to assess its performance. The Company presents FFO or “funds from operations” to reflect a measure of the Company’s cash flow, and revenues, net of purchased power, to reflect revenues net of the cost of purchased power. FFO and revenues, net of purchased power, are non-GAAP financial measures which do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and might not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. They should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under GAAP.

Hydro One also uses financial ratios that are non-GAAP ratios such as debt to capitalization ratio and earnings coverage ratio. Non-GAAP ratios do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and might not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. They should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under US GAAP.

FFO

FFO is defined as net cash from operating activities, adjusted for (i) changes in non-cash balances related to operations, (ii) dividends paid on preferred shares, and (iii) 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 GAAP (reported) results to non-GAAP (adjusted) results on a consolidated basis.

	Three months ended September 30		Nine months ended September 30
(millions of dollars)	2024	2023	2024	2023
Net cash from operating activities	623	642	1,831	1,644
Changes in non-cash balances related to operations	18	(18)	(59)	40
Distributions to noncontrolling interest	(2)	(2)	(8)	(8)
FFO	639	622	1,764	1,676

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 GAAP (reported) revenues to non-GAAP (adjusted) revenues, net of purchased power, on a consolidated basis.

Distribution revenues, net of purchased power	504	496	509	469	475	487	499	476

Debt to Capitalization Ratio

The Company believes that the debt to capitalization ratio is an important non-GAAP ratio in the management of its debt levels. This non-GAAP ratio does not have a standardized meaning under US GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. Debt to capitalization ratio has been calculated as total debt (including total long-term debt and short-term borrowings, net of cash and cash equivalents) divided by total debt plus total shareholders’ equity, but excluding any amounts related to noncontrolling interest. Management believes that the debt to capitalization ratio is helpful as a measure of the proportion of debt in the Company's capital structure.

As at (millions of dollars)	September 30, 2024	December 31, 2023
Short-term notes payable	210	279
Less: cash and cash equivalents	(248)	(79)

Earnings Coverage Ratio

Earnings coverage ratio is defined as earnings before income taxes and financing charges 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. This non-GAAP ratio does not have a standardized meaning under US GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND RISK FACTORS

Hydro One is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Critical to Hydro One’s success is the identification, management, and to the extent possible, mitigation of these risks. Hydro One’s Enterprise Risk Management program assists decision-makers throughout the organization with the management of key business risks, including new and emerging risks and opportunities.

A discussion of the material risks relating to Hydro One and its business that the Company believes would be the most likely to influence an investor’s decision to purchase Hydro One’s securities can be found under the heading “Risk Management and Risk Factors” in the 2023 MD&A.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as defined in National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings. Internal control, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and due to its inherent limitations, may not prevent or detect all misrepresentations.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.

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:

Accounting Guidance To Be Adopted In 2024

Guidance	Date issued	Description	ASU Effective Date	Impact on Hydro One

Fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.	The Company will disclose the title and position of its Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), and elaborate on how the CODM uses information provided to assess segment performance and allocate resources.

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 Accounting Standards Codification (Codification). Many of the amendments allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the US 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 2023-09	December 2023	The amendments address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information.	Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024.	Under assessment
ASU 2024-02	March 2024	The amendments contain modifications to the codification that remove various concept statements which may be extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance or references used in prior statements to provide guidance in certain topical areas.

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 transmission and distribution rate and revenue requirement applications including the JRAP and its proposed investment plan, resulting and related decisions including the DTA Implementation Decision, 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; expectations for Hydro One to file a new US Debt Shelf Prospectus in the fourth quarter of 2024; the Company’s maturing debt; the Company’s ongoing and planned projects, initiatives and expected capital investments, including expected approvals, results, costs, funding sources and in-service and completion dates; contractual obligations and other commercial commitments; the BBFA and expected impacts; expectations regarding the Ministry of Infrastructure’s subsidies program to ISPs and its results; the Company’s assessment of recovery and impacts related to the OEB-established generic variance and deferral accounts; expectations regarding the OEB hearing related to the Incremental Cloud Computing Implementation Costs deferral account; future pension plan contributions, including estimates of total Company pension contributions beyond 2024 up to 2029; dividends; non-GAAP financial measures; internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure; the MTN Program; the Universal Base Shelf Prospectus; the US Debt Shelf Prospectus; recent accounting-related guidance and expected impacts; and the Company’s acquisitions and final closing adjustments. 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 US 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;

•risks relating to the location of the Company’s assets on Reserve lands, that the company’s operations and activities may give rise to the Crown’s duty to consult and potentially accommodate Indigenous communities, and the risk that Hydro One may incur significant costs associated with transferring assets located on Reserves;

•the risk that the Company may be unable to comply with regulatory and legislative requirements or that the Company may incur additional costs for compliance that are not recoverable through rates;

•the risk of exposure of the Company’s facilities to the effects of severe weather conditions, natural disasters, man-made events or other unexpected occurrences for which the Company is uninsured or for which the Company could be subject to claims for damage;

•risks associated with information system security and maintaining complex IT and operational technology (OT) system infrastructure, including system failures or risks of cyber-attacks or unauthorized access to corporate IT and OT systems;
