IRPs Support Least-Cost & High-Growth Options

Content

TEP base-case IRP timeline: 160 MW in 2027 (80 MW solar + 80 MW storage), 400 MW in 2029 (200 MW solar + 200 MW storage), 730 MW in 2030 (Springerville gas conversion), 300 MW in 2031 (new combined cycle) and 800 MW in 2034-2041 (400 MW solar + 400 MW storage). The coal exit converts Springerville Units 1 and 2 (793 MW) to natural gas and exits Four Corners (110 MW). UNS Electric base-case IRP: 280 MW in 2028 (140 MW solar + 140 MW storage), 196 MW of gas generation in 2030, 125 MW of gas generation in 2031 and 100 MW in 2034-2041 (50 MW solar + 50 MW storage). TEP's IRP average system cost per kWh is 15.52 US cents (base scenario), 15.76 (clean energy), 14.31 (high-growth) and 15.19 (high-growth, clean). Fortis is on track for a coal-free generation mix by 2032. The TEP base case assumes 5.7% average annual retail sales growth, with RFP opportunities of up to about US$1.3B (TEP) and about US$0.3B (UNSE).

Initiatives / four-column cards

Focused on Affordability - Key Initiatives

Content

Four affordability initiatives. Central Hudson targets zero O&M growth from its 2025 rate order. At ITC Midwest, network transmission rates are expected to fall about 20% by the end of the decade from the 2026 level due to data-center load growth, with a 13% reduction already reflected in the 2027 projected rate; at TEP, a new data center requiring about 300 MW has an approved ESA expected to save a typical residential customer about US$13 per month. TEP's conversion of two Springerville coal units to natural gas costs about 10% of building new gas generation. At FortisBC, Tilbury LNG marine fuel sales have provided a rate benefit of about 1.5% since 2024, and the Eagle Mountain Pipeline is expected to provide a further rate benefit of about 1.5%.

Funding plan / data visualization

A Balanced Approach to Funding Growth

Content

Funding for the C$32.2B five-year plan: cash from operations 57%, net debt 32% and equity 11%. The capital structure is expected to remain consistent. Equity funding comes mainly from the DRIP (assumed participation of about 37%), plus stock option and employee plans (about C$250M) and the ATM program (about C$250M). In Q3 2026 Fortis issued US$1B of hybrid debt to repay maturing corporate debt and C$260M of ATM equity. About C$240M remains under the current ATM program; Fortis plans to file a new base shelf prospectus after the current one expires in January 2027 and re-establish a C$500M ATM program. The funding plan supports existing investment-grade credit ratings.

Tilbury LNG Approvals Advancing Capital Investments at FortisBC

Content

Tilbury Phase 1B: in July 2026 the Province of B.C. issued an OIC approving the expansion for LNG marine fueling, including a minority equity partnership with the Musqueam Indian Band (below the BCUC's 20% review threshold) and a marine jetty for bunkering in the Port of Vancouver. C$1.1B is in the 2027-2031 plan; construction could start as early as mid-2027, with service as early as 2031. Tilbury Phase 2 received federal and provincial environmental approvals in September 2026, with remaining permits still required. The LNG Storage Tank Expansion is a new 142,400 m3 (about 3 Bcf) tank, CPCN approved by the BCUC in October 2025, with C$0.8B in the plan and substantial completion in 2031. The Phase 2 Liquefaction Expansion adds up to 2.5 mtpa for domestic, marine or bulk export markets, a potential C$2-4B opportunity beyond the plan period, subject to demand, permitting and FID.

Risk / sensitivity analysis

Sensitivity Exposure & Hedging

Content

FX: the plan assumes USD:CAD of 1.35. 65% of regulated earnings (2025) and 64% of the capital plan are in U.S. dollars. A +/-C$0.05 change in USD:CAD moves the five-year capital plan by C$800M and EPS by C$0.06, including hedging. Hedging: FX forwards and collars (US$518M notional), US$1.2B of U.S.-dollar debt at Fortis Inc. as a natural hedge, US$400M of cross-currency swaps, and ITC interest rate swaps (US$200M notional). EPS sensitivity to ROE +/-25 bps and equity +/-100 bps: ITC C$0.040 / C$0.035; UNS Energy C$0.030 / C$0.020; FortisBC C$0.020 / C$0.020; Central Hudson C$0.010 / C$0.010; FortisAlberta C$0.010 / C$0.010.

Our Sustainability Strategy - Grounded in Business Fundamentals

Content

Three sustainability priorities. Climate risk: the 2026 Climate Resiliency Report adds location-specific climate risk assessments and hazard mapping by geography and asset category. Emissions: Scope 1 emissions fell 38% (2019-2025), the company is committed to coal-free generation by 2032 and net-zero by 2050, and the GHG intensity of delivered energy has fallen for five years. Governance and communities: a local leadership model, executive pay linked to climate goals, 50% women on the board (2 of 12 directors identify as a visible minority), a partnership connecting 17 remote First Nations communities in northern Ontario to the grid, C$14M of community investment in 2025 (C$60M over five years), and C$320M on energy efficiency programs in 2025, the highest level ever.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this slide and the underlying presentation content.

What is the Fortis Q3 2026 Earnings Presentation?

It is the 40-slide deck Fortis Inc. (NYSE/TSX: FTS) used on its Q3 2026 earnings conference call on November 3, 2026, presented by CEO David Hutchens and CFO Jocelyn Perry. It covers quarterly results, a new C$32.2B 2027-2031 capital plan, rate base growth, funding, credit ratings, sustainability, and an appendix of detailed financial tables.

Where was this deck published, and what currency does it use?

Fortis is a Canadian company, and the deck was filed with the SEC as an exhibit to Form 6-K. All amounts are in Canadian dollars (C$) unless marked US$. U.S.-dollar capital plan and rate base figures for 2027-2031 are converted at a forecast USD:CAD rate of 1.35.

What were Fortis' Q3 2026 earnings?

Q3 2026 actual and adjusted EPS was C$0.92, up from C$0.87 adjusted EPS in Q3 2025, and net earnings were C$474M. Year-to-date adjusted EPS was C$2.69 vs. C$2.63. Growth came mainly from ITC transmission, U.S. electric and gas, and western Canadian utilities, partly offset by dilution from the 2025 sale of Caribbean assets.

What is in the Fortis 2027-2031 capital plan?

The plan totals C$32.2B, up C$3.4B (12%) on the prior plan and the largest in Fortis history. Transmission accounts for 47% and distribution for 29%. ITC (C$11.6B), UNS Energy (C$5.6B) and FortisBC Energy are the largest contributors. It drives a 7.5% rate base CAGR, from C$45.3B in 2026 to C$63.9B in 2031.

What dividend guidance does Fortis give?

Fortis raised its Q4 2026 dividend by 4%, marking 53 consecutive years of increases in dividends paid, and extended its 4-6% annual dividend growth guidance through 2031.

Can I use this deck as a template for a utility earnings presentation?

Yes. It shows a clear structure for a regulated utility: highlights, EPS bridges, regulatory updates, the capital plan and rate base, a business-unit page per subsidiary, the funding plan and credit metrics, the dividend record, and an appendix of reconciliations and forecast tables. The donut-plus-bar business-unit layout and the waterfall EPS charts are easy to adapt.

Are all the numbers on the slides legible?

The slides were rasterized for the SEC filing, but headline figures, tables and most footnotes are readable. Two charts, the 1973-2026 dividend history and the 2027-2036 debt maturity stack, do not label individual bar values, so only the highlighted figures and approximate readings are described here.

What growth opportunities sit outside the base capital plan?

The deck points to MISO LRTP Tranche 2.1 work at ITC (US$2.9-3.4B of ROFR projects plus the MARS project), data-center and large-load growth at ITC and TEP, IRP generation opportunities in Arizona of up to about US$1.6B, and the Tilbury Phase 2 LNG Expansion in British Columbia, a potential C$2-4B opportunity.
