Q2 2026 Financial Results
Q2 2026 adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders (“adjusted net income”) 2 was $212 million, or $0.69 per common share, compared to $236 million, or $0.79 per common share, in Q2 2025. The decrease was primarily due to increased interest expense and foreign exchange (“FX”) losses at Corporate; decreased earnings at New Mexico Gas Company (“NMGC”); and lower earnings due to the sale of Grand Bahama Power Company (“GBPC”).
Q2 2026 reported net income was $105 million, or $0.34 per common share, compared to net income of $135 million, or $0.45 per common share, in Q2 2025. Reported income also included a $59 million increase in mark-to-market (“MTM”) losses, after-tax, and the $19 million loss on sale of GBPC, after tax and transaction costs, partially offset by the $72 million charges related to the pending sale of NMGC recognized in Q2 2025.

Year-to-date adjusted net income 1 was $627 million or $2.06 per common share, compared with $615 million or $2.07 per common share year-to-date in 2025. Year-to-date adjusted net income 1 increased $12 million primarily due to increased earnings at PGS, EES and TEC, higher equity earnings at Bear Swamp and higher income tax recovery at Corporate. These were partially offset by increased interest expense and higher operating, maintenance and general (“OM&G”) expenses at Corporate; lower earnings at NSPI and NMGC; and lower earnings due to the sale of GBPC.

The translation impacts of a stronger CAD on USD denominated earnings decreased net income attributable to common shareholders by $13 million in Q2 2026 and $43 million year-to-date compared to the same periods in 2025. In Q2 2026, the impact of the change in FX rates on adjusted net income was nil.

These impacts include the effect of the FX hedges used to mitigate translation risk of USD earnings, which are included in Corporate in the Other segment.
