Notes to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2020 and 2019

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, except as noted and per share amounts)

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (“APUC” or the “Company”) is an incorporated entity under the Canada Business CorporationsAct. APUC's operations are organized across two primary business units consisting of the Regulated Services Group and the Renewable Energy Group. The Regulated Services Group owns and operates a portfolio of regulated electric, natural gas, water distribution and wastewater collection utility systems and transmission operations in the United States and Canada; the Renewable Energy Group owns and operates a diversified portfolio of non-regulated renewable and thermal electric generation assets. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company acquired a regulated electric utility in Bermuda and a water and wastewater provider in Chile (note 3(a) and (b), respectively).

1.Significant accounting policies

(a)Basis of preparation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and follow disclosure required under Regulation S-X provided by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are of a recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim operations.

The significant accounting policies applied to these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of APUC are consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of APUC for the year ended December 31, 2019, except for adopted accounting policies described in note 2(a) and note 1(e).

(b)COVID-19 pandemic

The preparation of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

The ongoing outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has resulted in business suspensions and shutdowns that have caused changes in consumption patterns of the Company's customers. Force majeure or similar notices have been received from suppliers and/or contractors for all of the Company's major renewable energy construction projects. Certain manufacturing, transportation and delivery delays have occurred, and similar future disruptions are possible due to COVID-19. However, in the second quarter, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service extended by one year the “continuity safe harbor” deadline by which renewable projects must be placed in service to qualify for the maximum permissible U.S. federal tax credits. The Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations, are subject to actual and potential future impacts resulting from COVID-19, the full extent of which is not currently known. The Company has made estimates of the impact of COVID-19 within its financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods.

(c)Seasonality

APUC's operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations that could materially impact quarter-to-quarter operating results and, thus, one quarter's operating results are not necessarily indicative of a subsequent quarter's operating results. Where decoupling mechanisms exist, total volumetric revenue is prescribed by the applicable regulatory authority and is not affected by usage. APUC's different electrical distribution utilities can experience higher or lower demand in the summer or winter depending on the specific regional weather and industry characteristics. During the winter period, natural gas distribution utilities experience higher demand than during the summer period. APUC’s water and wastewater utility assets’ revenues fluctuate depending on the demand for water, which is normally higher during drier and hotter months of the summer. APUC’s hydroelectric energy assets are primarily “run-of-river” and as such fluctuate with the natural water flows. During the winter and summer periods, flows are generally slower, while during the spring and fall periods flows are heavier. For APUC's wind energy assets, wind resources are typically stronger in spring, fall and winter and weaker in summer. APUC's solar energy assets experience greater insolation in summer, weaker in winter.

1.Significant accounting policies (continued)

(d)Foreign currency translation

APUC’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Within these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, the Company denotes any amounts denominated in Canadian dollars with “C$” immediately prior to the stated amount.

Effective January 1, 2020, the functional currency of APUC, the non-consolidated parent entity, changed from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar based on a balance of facts, taking into consideration its operating, financing and investing activities. As a result of the entity's change of functional currency, changes were made to certain hedging relationships to mitigate the remaining Canadian dollar risk (note 21(b)(iii)).

(e)Current expected credit losses

The Company adoptedthe U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Financial Instruments —Credit Losses Topic 326 (“ASC 326”) in the first quarter of 2020 using a modified retrospective approach. The Company has trade accounts receivable and loans receivable from its equity method investees in both the Regulated Services and Renewable Energy Group. New allowance policies were implemented for the Company's loans receivable and the Renewable Energy Group's trade accounts receivable. The impact to the Company's bad debt expense upon adoption was not significant.

2.     Recently issued accounting pronouncements

(a)Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

The FASB issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606 to reduce diversity in practice on how entities account for transactions on the basis of different views of the economics of a collaborative arrangement. The adoption of this Update during the first quarter did not have an impact on the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities to improve general purpose financial reporting. The update clarifies that indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. The adoption of this Update during the first quarter did not have an impact on the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Business Combinations (Topic 350): Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The update is intended to simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measured a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Under the amendments in this update, the impairment loss will be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company will follow the pronouncements prospectively for goodwill impairment testing.

The FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The adoption of this topic in the first quarter did not have a significant impact on the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements (note 1(e)).

2.     Recently issued accounting pronouncements

(b)Recently issued accounting guidance not yet adopted

The FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity to address the complexity associated with accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock is being reduced and the guidance has been amended for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this Update.

The FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, whichprovides optional expedients and exceptions to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The amendments apply to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of the reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the reference rate reform and this Update.

3.Business acquisitions

(a)Acquisition of Bermuda Electric Light Company

Subsequent to quarter-end, on November 9, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Ascendant Group Limited (“Ascendant”), parent company of Bermuda Electric Light Company (“BELCO”). BELCO is the sole electric utility providing regulated electrical generation, transmission and distribution services to Bermuda's residents and businesses.

The purchase price of approximately $365,600 for the acquisition of BELCO was funded through the Company's existing credit facilities. The costs related to this acquisition have been expensed through the unaudited interim consolidated statement of operations.

Due to the timing of the acquisition, the Company has not completed the fair value measurements necessary for the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

(b)Acquisition of Empresa de Servicios Sanitarios de Los Lagos S.A.

Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company acquired 51% and 42.97% of Empresa de Servicios de Los Lagos S.A. (“ESSAL”) on October 13, and October 17, 2020, respectively. Through its 93.97% interests, the Company controls and consolidates ESSAL. The remaining 6.03% of ESSAL will be recorded as non-controlling interest by APUC. ESSAL is a vertically integrated, regional water and wastewater provider in Southern Chile.

The purchase price of approximately $162,100 for the acquisition of ESSAL was funded through the Company's existing credit facilities. Acquisition costs related to this acquisition have been expensed through the unaudited interim consolidated statement of operations.

Due to the timing of the acquisition, the Company has not completed the fair value measurements necessary for the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

(c)Acquisition of Enbridge Gas New Brunswick Limited Partnership & St. Lawrence Gas Company, Inc.

The Company completed the acquisition of Enbridge Gas New Brunswick Limited Partnership (“New Brunswick Gas”) on October 1, 2019, and St. Lawrence Gas Company, Inc. (“St. Lawrence Gas”) on November 1, 2019. New Brunswick Gas is a regulated utility that provides natural gas. The purchase price recorded in 2019 was $256,011 (C$339,036). A closing adjustment of $1,213 (C$1,884) was made in 2020 to reduce goodwill. St. Lawrence Gas is a regulated utility that provides natural gas in northern New York State. The total purchase price recorded in 2019 for the transaction was $61,820. A closing adjustment of $1,328 was made in 2020 to increase goodwill.

4.Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable as of September 30, 2020 include unbilled revenue of $45,988 (December 31, 2019 - $80,295) from the Company’s regulated utilities. Accounts receivable as of September 30, 2020 are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $10,094 (December 31, 2019 - $4,939).

5.Regulatory matters

The operating companies within the Regulated Services Group are subject to regulation by the public utility commissions of the states and provinces in which they operate. The respective public utility commissions have jurisdiction with respect to rate, service, accounting policies, issuance of securities, acquisitions and other matters. These utilities operate under cost-of-service regulation as administered by these authorities. The Company’s regulated utility operating companies are accounted for under the principles of ASC 980 Regulated Operations. Under ASC 980, regulatory assets and liabilities that would not be recorded under U.S. GAAP for non-regulated entities are recorded to the extent that they represent probable future revenue or expenses associated with certain charges or credits that will be recovered from or refunded to customers through the rate setting process.

At any given time, the Company can have several regulatory proceedings underway. The financial effects of these proceedings are reflected in the consolidated financial statements based on regulatory approval obtained to the extent that there is a financial impact during the applicable reporting period. The following regulatory proceeding were recently completed:

Utility	State	Regulatory proceeding type	Annual revenue increase (decrease)	Effective date
Energy North Gas System	New Hampshire	Cast Iron/Bare Steel Replacement Program Results	$1,613	July 1, 2020

(a)Retired generating plant

On March 1, 2020, the Company's 200 MW coal generation facility located in Asbury, Missouri, ceased operations. The Company transferred the remaining net book value of Asbury’s plant retired from plant in-service to a regulatory asset. The ultimate valuation of the regulatory asset will be determined in future commission orders. The Company is also assessing the decommissioning requirements associated with the retirement of the facility. Per commission orders in its jurisdictions, the Company is required to track the impact of Asbury's retirement on rates for consideration in the next rate case. The Company expects to defer such amounts collected from customers until new rates become effective. The accrual for this estimated amount includes revenues collected related to Asbury that will be subject to a future rate review proceeding and possible refund to customers. The ultimate resolution of this matter is uncertain.

5.Regulatory matters (continued)

(b)Deferred capitalized costs

During the quarter, Empire Electric made an election under Missouri law to apply the plant-in-service accounting (“PISA”) regulatory mechanism, that permits Empire Electric to defer, on a Missouri jurisdictional basis, 85% of the depreciation expense and carrying costs at the applicable weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) on certain property, plant, and equipment placed in service after the election date and not included in base rates. The portions of regulatory asset balances that are not yet being recovered through rates shall include carrying costs at the WACC, plus applicable federal, state, and local income or excise taxes. Regulatory asset balances included in rate base shall be recovered in rates through a 20-year amortization beginning on the effective date of new rates. The Company recognizes the cost of debt on PISA deferrals as reduction of interest expense. The difference between the WACC and cost of debt will be recognized in revenue when recovery of such deferrals is reflected in customer rates. The regulatory asset associated with PISA as at September 30, 2020 is not material.

AAGES (AY Holdings) B.V. (“AY Holdings”), an entity controlled and consolidated by APUC, has a share ownership in Atlantica Yield plc (“Atlantica”) of approximately 44.2% (December 31, 2019 - 44.2%). APUC has the flexibility, subject to certain conditions, to increase its ownership of Atlantica up to 48.5%. The shares were purchased at a cost of $1,036,414. The Company accounts for its investment in Atlantica at fair value, with changes in fair value reflected in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations.

(b)San Antonio Water System

On December 30, 2019, the Company and a third party each contributed C$1,500 to the capital of a new joint venture, created for the purpose of investing in infrastructure opportunities. The Company sold its investment in Abengoa Water USA, LLC to the joint venture and has elected the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments to account for its investment in the joint venture, with changes in fair value reflected in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations.

On July 2, 2020, APUC acquired the third-party developer's 50% interest in the joint venture for C$1,581. As a result, the Company now consolidates Abengoa Water USA, LLC and its 20% interest in the San Antonio Water System (“SAWS”). The Company accounts for its 20% interest in SAWS using the equity method.

Short-term obligations of $177,452 that are expected to be refinanced using the long-term credit facilities are presented as long-term debt.

Long-term debt issued at a subsidiary level (project notes or utility bonds) relating to a specific operating facility is generally collateralized by the respective facility with no other recourse to the Company. Long-term debt issued at a subsidiary level whether or not collateralized generally has certain financial covenants, which must be maintained on a quarterly basis. Non-compliance with the covenants could restrict cash distributions/dividends to the Company from the specific facilities.

Recent financing activities:

(a)Senior unsecured revolving credit facilities

On February 24, 2020, the Renewable Energy Group increased its uncommitted letter of credit facility to $350,000 and extended the maturity to June 30, 2021.

(b)Senior unsecured bank credit facilities

Given the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company secured additional liquidity as an additional margin of safety intended to ensure the Company can continue to move forward with its 2020 capital expenditure program and committed acquisitions independent of the state of the capital markets. The additional liquidity is in the form of three new senior unsecured delayed draw non-revolving credit facilities for a total of $1,600,000 maturing in April 2021. Subsequent to quarter-end, on October 5, 2020, these facilities were replaced with two new syndicated revolving credit facilities for a total of $1,600,000 maturing December 31, 2021.

Forward contracts were used to manage the Canadian dollar risk (note 21(b)(iv)).

On May 15, 2020, APUC re-established its at-the-market equity program (“ATM program”) that allows the Company to issue up to $500,000 of common shares from treasury to the public from time to time, at the Company's discretion, at the prevailing market price when issued on the TSX, the NYSE, or any other existing trading market for the common shares of the Company in Canada or the United States. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 8,664,563 common shares under the ATM program at an average price of $13.92 per common share for gross proceeds of $120,634 ($119,126 net of commissions). Other related costs, primarily related to the re-establishment of the ATM program, were $1,163.

Since the initial launch of the ATM program in February 2019, the Company has issued an aggregate of 10,421,362 common shares under the ATM program at an average price of $13.69 per share for gross proceeds of $142,668 ($140,830 net of commissions). Other related costs, primarily related to the establishment and re-establishment, as applicable, of the ATM program, were $3,285.

(b)Share-based compensation

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, APUC recorded $6,588 and $18,228, respectively (2019 - $2,814 and $7,287, respectively) in total share-based compensation expense. The compensation expense is recorded as part of administrative expenses in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations, except for $3,169 and $10,121 related to management succession and executive retirement expenses discussed below, which was recorded in other net losses (note 16(b)) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The portion of share-based compensation costs capitalized as cost of construction is insignificant.

As of September 30, 2020, total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested options and performance share units (“PSUs”) were $1,039 and $13,797, respectively, and are expected to be recognized over a period of 1.43 and 1.61 years, respectively.

Management succession and executive retirements:

The Company announced succession plans for the role of Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the pending retirements of the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and Vice Chair. In order to facilitate an orderly and planned transition, the Company entered into Retirement Agreements with Messrs. Robertson, Bronicheski and Jarratt. Messrs. Robertson and Bronicheski retired on July 17, 2020 and September 18, 2020, respectively. Mr. Jarratt will retire at the end of November 2020.

10.Shareholders’ capital (continued)

(b)Share-based compensation (continued)

Retirement restricted share units (“RSUs”) were granted to Messrs Robertson, Jarratt and Bronicheski. The retirement RSUs vest on each executive’s respective retirement date and settle at various times between the first and fifth anniversary of the day of grant. The compensation cost is recorded over the period from the effective date of the retirement agreement to the retirement date. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded compensation cost of $1,560 and $4,608, respectively, in other net losses (note 16(b)).

All unvested PSUs held by an executive will remain outstanding. All options held by an executive will continue to vest and be exercisable as if the executive were still employed until such Options otherwise expire in accordance with their terms and conditions. The fair value of these PSUs and options is being recognized over their vesting period. As a result of the retirement agreement the recognition of the compensation cost is accelerated and recorded over the period from the effective date of the retirement agreement to the retirement date. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded accelerated compensation expense of $623 and $3,564, respectively, in other net losses (note 16(b)).

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded other succession and retirement expense of $986 and $1,949, respectively, in other net losses (note 16(b)).

Share option plan:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved the grant of 999,962 options to executives of the Company. The options allow for the purchase of common shares at a weighted average price of C$16.78, the market price of the underlying common share at the date of grant. One-third of 948,347 options vest on each of December 31, 2020, 2021, and 2022. One-third of 51,615 options vest on each of January 1, 2021, 2022, and 2023. The options may be exercised up to eight years following the date of grant.

The following assumptions were used in determining the fair value of share options granted: 

	2020
Risk-free interest rate	1.2		%
Expected volatility	24		%
Expected dividend yield	4.1		%
Expected life	5.50 years
Weighted average grant date fair value per option	C$	2.72

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 2,386,275 share options were exercised at a weighted average price of C$12.52 in exchange for 748,786 common shares issued from treasury, and 1,637,489 options settled at their cash value as payment for the exercise price and tax withholdings related to the exercise of the options.

Performance and restricted share units:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a total of 1,168,552 PSUs, RSUs and retirement RSUs discussed above were granted to executives of the Company. The awards vest based on the terms of each agreement ranging from July 2020 to January 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company settled 825,859 PSUs in exchange for 441,342 common shares issued from treasury, and 384,517 PSUs were settled at their cash value as payment for tax withholdings related to the settlement of the PSUs.

The non-controlling tax equity investors (“tax equity partnership units”) in the Company's U.S. wind power and solar power generating facilities are entitled to allocations of earnings, tax attributes and cash flows in accordance with contractual agreements. The share of earnings attributable to the non-controlling interest holders in these subsidiaries is calculated using the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method of accounting.

The Turquoise Solar Facility, a 10 MWac solar generating facility located in Washoe County, Nevada, was placed in service on December 31, 2019. The Class A partnership units are owned by a third-party tax equity investor who funded $1,403 on the execution date, $2,000 on December 31, 2019 and an installment of $2,649 during the second quarter.

15.Income taxes

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company's tax rate varied from the statutory rate of 26.5% due primarily to the tax benefit from tax credits accrued, the beneficial impact of differences in effective tax rates on transactions in foreign jurisdictions, and the favorable tax impact on the income associated with its investment in Atlantica. These adjustments are offset by deferred tax expense associated with the non-controlling interest share of income, and the impact of the finalization of certain regulations related to U.S. Tax Reform as further described below. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company's tax rate varied from the statutory rate of 26.5% due primarily to the favorable tax impact on the income associated with its investment in Atlantica, and the impact of the differences in effective tax rates on transactions in foreign jurisdictions.

The Company recognizes tax credits on a quarterly basis using an overall effective income tax rate anticipated for the full year which may differ significantly from recognizing tax credits as either wind energy is generated and sold or as solar assets are placed in service. Tax credits can significantly affect the Company's effective income tax rate depending on the amount of pretax income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company has accrued $25,000 of tax credits. The tax credits that have been accrued are primarily investment tax credits associated with renewable energy projects that have either been placed in service or are expected to be placed in service by the end of 2020.

On April 8, 2020, the IRS issued final regulations with respect to rules regarding certain Hybrid arrangements as a result of U.S. Tax Reform. As a result of the final regulations, the Company has recorded a one-time income tax expense of $9,300 to reverse the benefit of deductions taken in the prior year.

16.Other net losses

Other net losses consist of the following:

	Three months ended September 30				Nine months ended September 30
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Acquisition and transition-related costs	(2,908)		(2,786)		(6,050)		(5,175)

	$	(16,928)	$	(5,683)	$	(44,758)	$	(14,050)

(a)Tax reform

As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in 2017, regulators in the states where the Regulated Services Group operates contemplated the rate making implications of federal tax rates from the legacy 35% tax rate and the new 21% federal statutory income tax rate effective January 2018. On July 1, 2020, the Company received an order from the Public Service Commission of the State of Missouri that requires Empire to refund to customers over five years the revenue requirement collected at the higher tax rate between January 1, 2018 and August 31, 2018 before new rates came into effect. Therefore, an accounting loss was recognized for approximately $11,728 during the quarter.

(b)Management succession and executive retirement

The Company announced succession plans for the role of CEO, and the pending retirements of the CFO and Vice Chair. As part of the Retirement Agreements, the Company recorded $3,169 and $10,121, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, of expenses during the quarter in relation to these executives’ share-based compensation agreements (note 10(b)).

(c)Other

Other losses primarily consists of costs related to the condemnation of Liberty Utilities (Apple Valley Ranchos Water) Corp. (note 19(a)) and some of the costs related to the Granite Bridge Project, a proposed natural gas pipeline to provides service to the Energy North Gas System. During the quarter, the Company decided to discontinue the Granite Bridge Project and to instead seek approval of a significantly less expensive contract for additional capacity on a mainline gas artery. The Company is seeking recovery of all costs involved with pursuing the Granite Bridge Project. However, for GAAP purposes, the related asset will be recorded on the Company's balance sheet following review by the regulator at the next general rate proceeding.

17.Basic and diluted net earnings per share

Basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated on the basis of net earnings attributable to the common shareholders of the Company and the weighted average number of common shares and bonus deferral restricted share units outstanding. Diluted net earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares, subscription receipts outstanding, additional shares issued subsequent to quarter-end under the dividend reinvestment plan, PSUs, RSUs and DSUs outstanding during the period and, if dilutive, potential incremental common shares resulting from the application of the treasury stock method to outstanding share options and additional shares issued subsequent to quarter-end under the dividend reinvestment plan.

The reconciliation of the net earnings and the weighted average shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

	Three months ended September 30				Nine months ended September 30
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Net earnings attributable to shareholders of APUC	$	55,851	$	115,754	$	278,273	$	358,785
Series A preferred shares dividend	1,154		1,173		3,435		3,496
Series D preferred shares dividend	948		964		2,823		2,856
Net earnings attributable to common shareholders of APUC – basic and diluted	$	53,749	$	113,617	$	272,015	$	352,433
Weighted average number of shares

18.Segmented information

The Company is managed under two primary business units consisting of the Regulated Services Group and the Renewable Energy Group. The two business units are the two segments of the Company.

The Regulated Services Group, the Company's regulated operating unit, owns and operates a portfolio of electric, natural gas, water distribution and wastewater collection utility systems and transmission operations in the United States and Canada; the Renewable Energy Group, the Company's non-regulated operating unit, owns and operates a diversified portfolio of renewable and thermal electric generation assets in North America and internationally. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company acquired a regulated electric utility in Bermuda and a water and wastewater provider in Chile (note 3(a) and (b), respectively).

For purposes of evaluating the performance of the business units, the Company allocates the realized portion of any gains or losses on financial instruments to the specific business units. Dividend income from Atlantica and AYES Canada are included in the operations of the Renewable Energy Group, while interest income from San Antonio Water System is included in the operations of the Regulated Services Group. Equity method gains and losses are included in the operations of the Regulated Services Group or Renewable Energy Group based on the nature of the activities of the investees. The change in value of investments carried at fair value and unrealized portion of any gains or losses on derivative instruments not designated in a hedging relationship are not considered in management’s evaluation of divisional performance and are therefore allocated and reported under corporate.

19.Commitments and contingencies

(a)Contingencies

APUC and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and litigation arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of its business. Although such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider APUC’s exposure to such litigation to be material to these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Accruals for any contingencies related to these items are recorded in the consolidated financial statements at the time it is concluded that its occurrence is probable and the related liability is estimable.

Claim by Gaia Power Inc.

On October 30, 2018, Gaia Power Inc. (“Gaia”) commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against APUC and certain of its subsidiaries, claiming damages of not less than $345,000 and punitive damages in the sum of $25,000. The action arises from Gaia’s 2010 sale, to a subsidiary of APUC, of Gaia’s interest in certain proposed wind farm projects in Canada.  Pursuant to a 2010 royalty agreement, Gaia is entitled to royalty payments if the projects are developed and achieve certain agreed targets. The parties have since agreed to arbitrate the dispute, and it is scheduled to be heard in the first quarter of 2021. It is too early to determine the likelihood of success in this lawsuit; however, APUC intends to vigorously defend it.

Condemnation expropriation proceedings

Liberty Utilities (Apple Valley Ranchos Water) Corp. is the subject of a condemnation lawsuit filed by the town of Apple Valley. A court will determine the necessity of the taking by Apple Valley and, if established, a jury will determine the fair market value of the assets being condemned. The evidentiary portion of the right-to-take condemnation trial finished on July 15, 2020 and a decision is expected from the Court in the first half of 2021. Any taking by government entities would legally require fair compensation to be paid; however, there is no assurance that the value received as a result of the condemnation will be sufficient to recover the Company's net book value of the utility assets taken.

(b)Commitments

In addition to the commitments related to the proposed acquisitions and development projects disclosed in notes 3 and 6, the following significant commitments exist as of September 30, 2020.

APUC has outstanding purchase commitments for power purchases, gas supply and service agreements, service agreements, capital project commitments and land easements.

Detailed below are estimates of future commitments under these arrangements: 

	Year 1		Year 2		Year 3		Year 4		Year 5		Thereafter		Total
Power purchase (i)	$	23,453	$	11,335	$	11,564	$	11,738	$	11,972	$	170,428	$	240,490

(i)     Power purchase: APUC’s electric distribution facilities have commitments to purchase physical quantities of power for load serving requirements. The commitment amounts included in the table above are based on market prices as of September 30, 2020. However, the effects of purchased power unit cost adjustments are mitigated through a purchased power rate-adjustment mechanism.

(ii)Gas supply and service agreements: APUC’s gas distribution facilities and thermal generation facilities have commitments to purchase physical quantities of natural gas under contracts for purposes of load serving requirements and of generating power.

The Company has determined that the carrying value of its short-term financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

The fair value of development loans and other receivables (level 2) is determined using a discounted cash flow method, using estimated current market rates for similar instruments adjusted for estimated credit risk as determined by management. 

The fair value of the investment in Atlantica (level 1) is measured at the closing price on the NASDAQ stock exchange.

21.Financial instruments (continued)

(a)Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

The Company’s level 1 fair value of long-term debt is measured at the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange and the Canadian over-the-counter closing price. The Company’s level 2 fair value of long-term debt at fixed interest rates and Series C preferred shares has been determined using a discounted cash flow method and current interest rates. The Company's level 2 fair value of convertible debentures has been determined as the greater of their face value and the quoted value of APUC's common shares on a converted basis.

The Company’s level 2 fair value derivative instruments primarily consist of swaps, options, rights and forward physical derivatives where market data for pricing inputs are observable. Level 2 pricing inputs are obtained from various market indices and utilize discounting based on quoted interest rate curves, which are observable in the marketplace.

The Company’s level 3 instruments consist of energy contracts for electricity sales and the fair value of the Company's investment in AYES Canada. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of energy contracts are the internally developed forward market prices ranging from $11.09 to $104.64 with a weighted average of $22.71 as of September 30, 2020. The weighted average forward market prices are developed based on the quantity of energy expected to be sold monthly and the expected forward price during that month. The change in the fair value of the energy contracts is detailed in notes 21(b)(ii) and 21(b)(iv). The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's AYES Canada investment are the expected cash flows, the discount rates applied to these cash flows ranging from 8.10%to 8.85% with a weighted average of 8.76%, and the expected volatility of Atlantica's share price ranging from 18%to 22%as of September 30, 2020. Significant increases (decreases) in expected cash flows or increases (decreases) in discount rate in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

(b)Derivative instruments

Derivative instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value at each reporting period.

(i)Commodity derivatives – regulated accounting

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce the cash flow variability associated with the purchase price for a portion of future natural gas purchases associated with its regulated gas and electric service territories. The Company’s strategy is to minimize fluctuations in gas sale prices to regulated customers.

The following are commodity volumes, in dekatherms (“dths”) associated with the above derivative contracts:

	2020
Financial contracts: Swaps	2,507,167
Options	875,506
Forward contracts	2,000,000
	5,382,673

The accounting for these derivative instruments is subject to guidance for rate regulated enterprises. Therefore, the fair value of these derivatives is recorded as current or long-term assets and liabilities, with offsetting positions recorded as regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Most of the gains or losses on the settlement of these contracts are included in the calculation of the fuel and commodity costs adjustments (note 5). As a result, the changes in fair value of these natural gas derivative contracts and their offsetting adjustment to regulatory assets and liabilities had no earnings impact.

(ii)Cash flow hedges

The Company reduces the price risk on the expected future sale of power generation at Sandy Ridge, Senate and Minonk Wind Facilities by entering into the following long-term energy derivative contracts. 

Notional quantity (MW-hrs)	Expiry	Receive average prices (per MW-hr)	Pay floating price (per MW-hr)
674,318	December 2028	34.43	PJM Western HUB
3,099,067	December 2027	25.02	NI HUB
2,430,425	December 2027	36.46	ERCORT North HUB

The Company provides energy requirements to various customers under contracts at fixed rates. While the production from the Tinker Hydroelectric Facility is expected to provide a portion of the energy required to service these customers, APUC anticipates having to purchase a portion of its energy requirements at the ISO NE spot rates to supplement self-generated energy. The Company designated a contract with a notional quantity of 99,080 MW-hours, a price of $38.95 per MW-hr and expiring in February 2022 as a hedge to the price of energy purchases. The Company also mitigates the risk by using short-term financial forward energy purchase contracts. These short-term derivatives are not accounted for as hedges and changes in fair value are recorded in earnings as they occur (note 21(b)(iv)).

In January 2019, the Company entered into a long-term energy derivative contract to reduce the price risk on the expected future sale of power generation at the Sugar Creek Wind Project. On September 30, 2019, the Company sold the derivative contract together with 100% of its ownership interest in Sugar Creek Wind Project to AAGES Sugar Creek Wind, LLC. The novation and transfer of the derivative contract was subject to counterparty approval, which was received in the first quarter of 2020. As a result, the hedge relationship for the Sugar Creek Wind Project energy derivative was discontinued. Amounts in AOCI of $15,765 and related tax were reclassified from AOCI into earnings in 2019.

The Company was party to a 10-year forward-starting interest rate swap beginning on July 25, 2018 in order to reduce the interest rate risk related to the probable issuance on that date of a 10-year C$135,000 bond. During 2018, the Company amended and extended the forward-starting date of the interest rate swap to begin on March 29, 2019. During 2019, the Company settled the forward-starting interest rate swap contract as it issued C$300,000 10-year senior unsecured notes with an interest rate of 4.60%.

In September 2019, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap in order to reduce the interest rate risk related to the quarterly interest payments between July 1, 2024 and July 1, 2029 on the $350,000 subordinated unsecured notes. The Company designated the entire notional amount of the three pay-variable and receive-fixed interest rate swaps as a hedge of the future quarterly variable-rate interest payments associated with the subordinated unsecured notes.

(b)Derivative instruments (continued)

(ii)Cash flow hedges (continued)

The following table summarizes OCI attributable to derivative financial instruments designated as a cash flow hedge: 

	Three months ended September 30				Nine months ended September 30
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Effective portion of cash flow hedge	$	(3,042)	$	9,050	$	(15,932)	$	19,137
Amortization of cash flow hedge	(555)		(8)		(1,663)		(24)
Amounts reclassified from AOCI	(1,164)		(14,817)		(7,467)		(11,258)
OCI attributable to shareholders of APUC	$	(4,761)	$	(5,775)	$	(25,062)	$	7,855

The Company expects $7,854 and $1,797 of unrealized gains currently in AOCI to be reclassified, net of taxes into non-regulated energy sales and interest expense, respectively, within the next 12 months, as the underlying hedged transactions settle.

(iii)Foreign exchange hedge of net investment in foreign operation

The functional currency of most of APUC's operations is the U.S. dollar. Effective January 1, 2020, the functional currency of APUC, the non-consolidated parent entity, changed from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar based on a balance of facts, taking into consideration its operating, financing and investing activities. As a result of that entity's change of functional currency, changes were made to certain hedging relationships to mitigate the remaining Canadian dollar risk.

The Company designates obligations denominated in Canadian dollars as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in its Canadian investments and subsidiaries. The related foreign currency transaction gain or loss designated as, and effective as, a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation are reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. A foreign currency loss of $278 and $83 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, was recorded in OCI.

On May 23, 2019, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap, coterminous with the subordinated unsecured notes to effectively convert the $350,000 U.S. dollar denominated offering into Canadian dollars. The change in the carrying amount of the notes due to changes in spot exchange rates is recognized each period in the consolidated statements of operations as loss (gain) on foreign exchange. The Company designated the entire notional amount of the cross-currency fixed-for-fixed interest rate swap as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure related to cash flows for the interest and principal repayments on the notes. Upon the change in functional currency of APUC to the U.S. dollar on January 1, 2020, this hedge was dedesignated. The OCI related to this hedge will be amortized into earnings in the period that future interest payments affect earnings over the remaining life of the original hedge. The Company redesignated this swap as a hedge of APUC's net investment in its Canadian subsidiaries. The related foreign currency transaction gain or loss designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation are reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. A foreign currency loss of $10,080 and gain of $9,503 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, was recorded in OCI.

(iii)Foreign exchange hedge of net investment in foreign operation (continued)

Canadian operations

The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations from its Canadian-based operations. APUC manages this risk primarily through the use of natural hedges by using Canadian long-term debt to finance its Canadian operations and a combination of foreign exchange forward contracts and spot purchases.

The Company’s Canadian operations are determined to have the Canadian dollar as their functional currency and are exposed to currency fluctuations from their U.S. dollar transactions. The Company designates obligations denominated in U.S. dollars as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in its U.S. investments and subsidiaries. The related foreign currency transaction gain or loss designated as, and effective as, a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation are reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. A foreign currency loss of $nil and $3,581 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 (2019 - loss of $6,891 and gain of $17,116), respectively, was recorded in OCI.

The Company is party to C$650,000 cross currency swaps to effectively convert Canadian dollar debentures (note 7) into U.S. dollars. The Company designated the entire notional amount of the cross-currency fixed-for-fixed interest rate swap and related short-term U.S. dollar payables created by the monthly accruals of the swap settlement as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in the Renewable Energy Group's U.S. operations. The gain or loss related to the fair value changes of the swap and the related foreign currency gains and losses on the U.S. dollar accruals that are designated as, and are effective as, a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation are reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. A gain of $15,472 and loss of $11,719 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 (2019 - loss of $13,029 and gain of $7,176), respectively, was recorded in OCI.

(iv)Other derivatives

Derivative financial instruments are used to manage certain exposures to fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company does not enter into derivative financial agreements for speculative purposes.

During the quarter, the Company executed on currency forward contracts to purchase in total $682,500 for approximately C$923,243 in order to manage the currency exposure to the Canadian dollar shares issuance (note 10(a)). A foreign currency gain of $2,363 was recorded as a result of the settlement.
