See "Other Financial and Non-GAAP Measures Advisory" in this news release for additional information.Canadian UtilitiesIn 2025, ATCO Energy Systems continued to work on many utility infrastructure opportunities, including two previously announced projects: the Yellowhead Pipeline Project (Yellowhead) in Natural Gas Transmission and the Central East Transfer-Out Project (CETO) in Electricity Transmission.Yellowhead consists of approximately 235 kilometres of high-pressure natural gas pipeline with the projected spend estimated at $2.9 billion, based on a Class III estimate with an expected accuracy of +/-20 per cent. The pipeline is 100 per cent contracted with customers, and is on track for construction to commence in 2026, subject to both Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) and corporate approvals. In the third quarter of 2025, the AUC approved the Need Assessment Application for the project. As one of two key regulatory filings that require approval from the AUC for the project, this approval marks a major milestone in the development of Alberta's energy infrastructure. ATCO Energy Systems filed a separate facility application on November 4, 2025 to seek AUC approval for construction and operation of the physical infrastructure. The AUC is expected to render a decision on this application in the third quarter of 2026.In 2025, Canadian Utilities raised $500 million fixed to fixed rate subordinate notes and $200 million preferred shares to substantially pre-fund its equity contribution. Canadian Utilities expects to fund Yellowhead's development within CU Inc., according to the applicable regulated capital structure, which is 63 per cent regulated debt and 37 per cent regulated equity. The regulated debt is expected to be funded with CU Inc. debenture issuances throughout 2026 and 2027.CETO consists of a 135-km 240kV transmission line, of which Electricity Transmission is building 85-km of the transmission line and AltaLink LP is constructing the remaining 50-km. Electricity Transmission completed the winter season construction in the first quarter of 2025, including substation tendering for civil, structural and electrical works, began fall season construction in the third quarter of 2025, and continues to progress on target timelines. Electricity Transmission's 85-km of the transmission line is on track to be energized by June 2026 with an approximate $255 million project spend. CETO will support renewable energy integration in Alberta and transport electricity in the counties of Red Deer, Lacombe and Stettler, supplying more than 1,500-MW of electricity to Alberta's grid.In December 2025, ATCO EnPower acquired a 100 per cent ownership interest in Northstone Power Corp., a privately owned Alberta-based independent power producer. Northstone is located near Grande Prairie, Alberta and owns and operates the 18.6-MW Elmworth generating station.Canadian Utilities incurred $415 million and $1,600 million in capital expenditures in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025, of which 94 per cent was invested in the regulated utilities in ATCO Energy Systems and ATCO Australia.Canadian Utilities' five-year (2026-2030) capital expenditure plan for its regulated utilities approximates $12 billion of capital spending which would support a consolidated mid-year rate base (2) CAGR (3) of 6.9 per cent from 2026 to 2030 across our regulated jurisdictions in Canada and Australia. Primary contributors to the capital expenditure plan are expected to be customer growth, system reliability, resilience and safety, and the Yellowhead project. A five-year 6.9 per cent consolidated rate base CAGR implies consolidated mid-year rate base will grow from $16.6 billion in 2025 to $23.2 billion in 2030.CorporateOn January 8, 2026, ATCO declared a first quarter dividend of 51.96 cents per share or $2.08 per share Class I non-voting and Class II voting share on an annualized basis.This news release should be read in concert with the full disclosure documents.
