HYDRO ONE INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

1.    DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Hydro One Inc. (Hydro One or the Company) was incorporated on December 1, 1998, under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and is wholly-owned by Hydro One Limited. The principal businesses of Hydro One are the transmission and distribution of electricity to customers within Ontario.
Earnings for interim periods may not be indicative of results for the year due to the impact of seasonal weather conditions on customer demand and market pricing.
The Company's transmission business consists of the transmission system operated by its subsidiaries, which include Hydro One Networks Inc. (Hydro One Networks) and Hydro One Sault Ste. Marie LP, as well as an approximately 66% interest in B2M Limited Partnership, and an approximately 55% interest in Niagara Reinforcement Limited Partnership.
Hydro One’s distribution business consists of the distribution system operated by its subsidiaries, Hydro One Networks and Hydro One Remote Communities Inc.
Rate Setting
Deferred Tax Asset (DTA)
On April 8, 2021, the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) rendered its decision and order (DTA Implementation Decision) regarding the recovery of the DTA amounts allocated to ratepayers for the 2017 to 2021 period, plus carrying charges over a two-year period, from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. In addition, Hydro One was approved to adjust the transmission revenue requirement and the base distribution rates beginning January 1, 2022, to eliminate any further amounts of future tax savings flowing to customers.
2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Consolidation and Presentation
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (Consolidated Financial Statements) include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Basis of Accounting
These Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared and presented in accordance with United States (US) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for interim financial statements and in Canadian dollars.
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those outlined in Hydro One's annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, with the exception of the adoption of new accounting standards as described in Note 3. These Consolidated Financial Statements reflect adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect fairly the financial position and results of operations for the respective periods.

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 2023-09December 2023The 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 2024-02March 2024The 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.Fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.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 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 combined Canadian federal and Ontario statutory income tax rate.
The reconciliation between the statutory and the effective tax rates is provided as follows:

Short-Term Notes and Credit Facilities
Hydro One meets its short-term liquidity requirements in part through the issuance of commercial paper under its Commercial Paper Program which has a maximum authorized amount of $2,300 million. These short-term notes are denominated in Canadian dollars with varying maturities up to 365 days. The Commercial Paper Program is supported by the Company’s revolving standby credit facilities totalling $2,300 million (Operating Credit Facilities).
In January 2022, Hydro One successfully amended its Operating Credit Facilities to incorporate environmental, social and governance targets. On June 1, 2023, the maturity date for the Operating Credit Facilities was extended from 2027 to 2028. As at March 31, 2024, no amounts have been drawn on the Operating Credit Facilities.
The Company may use the Operating Credit Facilities for working capital and general corporate purposes. If used, interest on the Operating Credit Facilities would apply based on Canadian benchmark rates. The obligation of each lender to make any credit extension under its credit facility is subject to various conditions including that no event of default has occurred or would result from such credit extension.
Long-Term Debt
The following table presents long-term debt outstanding as at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

1 In October 2023, Hydro One entered into $400 million fixed-to-floating interest-rate swap agreement to convert the $400 million Medium-Term Note (MTN) Series 57 notes maturing October 20, 2025, into a variable rate debt. This swap was accounted for as a fair value hedge. In December 2023, this swap was terminated with a payment received of $6 million on settlement, which is being amortized over the term of the related note.
As at March 31, 2024, long-term debt of $15,820 million (December 31, 2023 - $15,020 million) was outstanding, the majority of which was issued under Hydro One’s MTN Program. In June 2022, Hydro One filed a short form base shelf prospectus in connection with its MTN Program, which has a maximum authorized principal amount of notes issuable of $4,000 million and expires in July 2024. In February 2024, Hydro One filed a short form base shelf prospectus in connection with its MTN Program, which expires in March 2026. Upon issuance of the short form base shelf prospectus in February 2024, the Company does not qualify for the distribution of any additional notes under the previous MTN Program prospectus that was filed in June 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, $800 million long-term debt was issued (2023 - $1,050 million) and $nil long-term debt was repaid (2023 - $600 million).

14,988 14,851 — 14,851 — 
The fair value of the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges is determined using a discounted cash flow method based on period-end swap yield curves.
The fair value of the long-term debt is based on unadjusted period-end market prices for the same or similar debt of the same remaining maturities.
There were no transfers between any of the fair value levels during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or the year ended December 31, 2023.
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 is not currently exposed to material commodity price risk or material foreign exchange 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 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.
A hypothetical 100 basis points increase in interest rates associated with variable-rate debt would have resulted in an increase to financing charges for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 of $1 million and $2 million, 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 results of operations in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects results of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, a $6 million before-tax gain (2023 - $3 million loss), $4 million after-tax gain (2023 - $2 million loss), was recorded in OCI, and a $1 million before-tax realized gain (2023 - $2 million), $1 million after-tax gain (2023 - $2 million), was reclassified to financing charges. This resulted in an accumulated other comprehensive income of $2 million related to cash flow hedges as at March 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - less than $1 million accumulated other comprehensive loss).
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 18 - 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 March 31, 2024 and 2023, 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 March 31, 2024 and 2023, there was no material accounts receivable balance due from any single customer.
As at March 31, 2024, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $64 million (December 31, 2023 - $57 million). The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company's Current Expected Credit Loss for all accounts receivable balances, which are based on historical overdue balances, customer payments and write-offs. As at March 31, 2024, approximately 5% (December 31, 2023 - 5%) of the Company’s net accounts receivable were outstanding for more than 60 days.

NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
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 March 31, 2024, Hydro One’s credit exposure for all derivative instruments and applicable payables was with one financial institution with investment grade credit ratings as counterparty. As at March 31, 2023, the counterparty credit risk exposure on the fair value of these interest-rate swap contracts was not material.
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. The short-term liquidity under the commercial paper program, the Operating Credit Facilities, and anticipated levels of funds from operations are expected to be sufficient to fund the Company’s operating requirements.
The Pension Plan’s short-term liquidity is provided through cash and cash equivalents, contributions, investment income and proceeds from investment transactions. In the event that investments must be sold quickly to meet current obligations, the majority of the Pension Plan’s assets are invested in securities that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of as liquidity needs arise.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, pension costs of $18 million (2023 - $12 million) were attributed to labour, of which $6 million (2023 - $4 million) was charged to operations, and $12 million (2023 - $8 million) was capitalized as part of the cost of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

Transfers from Other Plans
Hydro One and Inergi LP agreed to transfer the employment of certain Inergi LP employees (Transferred Employees) to Hydro One Networks. Employees related to the Information Technology Operations, Finance and Accounting, Payroll, Source to Pay, Settlements and certain Shared Services functions transferred over a period ending January 1, 2022. The Transferred Employees who are participants in the Inergi LP Pension Plan (Inergi Plan) became participants in the Hydro One Pension Plan (the Plan) upon transfer to Hydro One Networks. On March 2, 2023, the assets and liabilities of the Inergi Plan were transferred to the Plan. The value of assets and liabilities of the Inergi Plan transferred to the Plan were approximately $378 million and $333 million, respectively, at the date of transfer. Inergi and Hydro One Networks also agreed to transfer OPEB liabilities related to the Transferred Employees to Hydro One’s post-retirement and post-employment benefit plans, which occurred on the date of transfer of each group of Transferred Employees.

27.    SEGMENTED REPORTING
Hydro One has three reportable segments:
The Transmission Segment, which comprises the transmission of high voltage electricity across the province, interconnecting local distribution companies and certain large directly connected industrial customers throughout the Ontario electricity grid;
The Distribution Segment, which comprises the delivery of electricity to end customers and certain other municipal electricity distributors; and
Other Segment, which includes certain corporate activities. The Other Segment includes the DTA which arose from the revaluation of the tax bases of Hydro One’s assets to fair market value when the Company transitioned from the provincial payments in lieu of tax regime to the federal tax regime at the time of Hydro One’s initial public offering in 2015. This DTA is not required to be shared with ratepayers, the Company considers it to not be part of the regulated transmission and distribution segment assets, and it is included in the other segment.
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 in deciding how to allocate resources and evaluate the performance of each of the segments. The Company evaluates segment performance based on income before financing charges and income tax expense from continuing operations (excluding certain allocated corporate governance costs).
