REVENUES

Revenues in the first quarter of 2023 were $1,358 million, $47 million higher than the same period in 2022. Higher revenues were mainly due to the additional revenue from ATCO Structures' acquisition of Triple M Housing Ltd. (Triple M) in December 2022 and Energy Infrastructure's acquisition of the Forty Mile and Adelaide wind assets in January 2023, higher flow-through revenues in Electricity Distribution, higher revenues at the Alberta Hub and Carbon natural gas storage facilities in the Energy Infrastructure segment, and higher space rentals activity across all geographies in ATCO Structures. Higher revenues were partially offset by cost efficiencies generated by Electricity Distribution and Natural Gas Distribution over the second generation Performance Base Regulation (PBR) term now being passed onto customers under the 2023 Cost of Service (COS) rebasing framework, and the AUC decision to

ATCO LTD. 2023 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

maximize the collection of 2021 deferred revenues in 2022 as a result of rate relief provided to customers in 2021 in light of the COVID-19 global pandemic.

(1)

ADJUSTED EARNINGS

Our adjusted earnings in the first quarter of 2023 were $137 million or $1.21 per share, compared to $134 million or $1.17 per share for the same period in 2022.

Higher adjusted earnings in the first quarter of 2023 were mainly due to earnings from Energy Infrastructure's acquisition of the Forty Mile and Adelaide wind assets in January 2023 and ATCO Structures' acquisition of Triple M in December 2022, new cost efficiencies realized in 2023 in Electricity Distribution and Natural Gas Distribution, increased space rentals activity in most geographies for ATCO Structures, and the timing of the impact of inflation indexing on rate base in 2022 in International Natural Gas Distribution. Higher earnings were partially offset by cost efficiencies generated by Electricity Distribution and Natural Gas Distribution over the second generation PBR term now being passed onto customers under the 2023 COS rebasing framework.

Additional detail on the financial performance of our business units is discussed in the Business Unit Performance section of this MD&A.

EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO CLASS I AND CLASS II SHARES

Earnings attributable to Class I and Class II Shares were $167 million in the first quarter of 2023, $39 million higher compared to 2022. Earnings attributable to Class I and Class II Shares include timing adjustments related to rateregulated activities, unrealized gains or losses on mark-to-market forward and swap commodity contracts, one-time gains and losses, impairments, and items that are not in the normal course of business or a result of day-to-day operations. These items are not included in adjusted earnings.

More information on these and other items is included in the Reconciliation of Adjusted Earnings to Earnings Attributable to Class I and Class II Shares section of this MD&A.

CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Cash flows from operating activities were $554 million in the first quarter of 2023, $134 million lower than the same period in 2022 mainly due to timing of payables.

COMMON SHARE DIVIDENDS

Dividends paid to Class I and Class II Share owners totaled $55 million in the first quarter of 2023. On April 13, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a second quarter dividend of 47.56 cents per share or $1.90 on an annualized basis. ATCO continues to grow its dividends consistent with the sustainable growth of its investments.

CAPITAL INVESTMENT (1) AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Total capital investment of $1,050 million in the first quarter of 2023 was $746 million higher compared to the same period in 2022 mainly due to the acquisition of the renewable energy portfolio in Canadian Utilities' Energy Infrastructure segment, ongoing capital investment in the Regulated Utilities, and continued expansion of ATCO Structures' space rentals fleet globally.

Total capital expenditures of $358 million in the first quarter of 2023 were $56 million higher compared to the same period in 2022 mainly due to the factors outlined above with the exception of the renewable energy portfolio acquisition within Canadian Utilities' Energy Infrastructure segment as this business combination is excluded from capital expenditures.

Capital expenditures in Canadian Utilities' Regulated Utilities accounted for 73 per cent of the total in the first quarter of 2023. The remaining 27 per cent was mainly related to ATCO Structures' continued expansion of its space rentals fleet globally and capital spending within Canadian Utilities' Energy Infrastructure segment, mainly related to the Barlow, Deerfoot and Empress Solar Projects.

BUSINESS UNIT PERFORMANCE

==> picture [486 x 145] intentionally omitted <==

ATCO Structures & Logistics' activities are conducted through two complementary businesses: ATCO Structures and ATCO Frontec. Diversified by geography, product and service offerings, these businesses meet the needs of customers and communities globally. Together they offer workforce and residential housing, innovative modular facilities, construction, site support services, workforce lodging services, facility operations and maintenance, defence operations services, and disaster and emergency management services.

REVENUES

Structures & Logistics revenues of $226 million in the first quarter of 2023 were $24 million higher than the same period in 2022 mainly due to additional revenue from Triple M acquired in December 2022, higher space rentals activity across all geographies, the Bechtel Pluto Train II project in Australia, and increases in client work requests and occupancy for ATCO Frontec-operated camps. Higher revenues were partially offset by lower workforce housing activity due to substantial used fleet sales and installation activity in 2022 in Australia and Canada and the completion of a project in Mexico.

(2) Additional information is provided under the headings “Other Financial and Non-GAAP Measures” and “Reconciliation of Adjusted Earnings to Earnings Attributable to Class I and Class II Shares” in this MD&A.

Structures & Logistics adjusted earnings of $22 million in the first quarter of 2023 were $2 million higher than the same period in 2022. Higher adjusted earnings were mainly due to earnings from Triple M acquired in December 2022, increased space rentals performance in most geographies for ATCO Structures, and earnings from ATCO Frontec's North Warning System contract. Earnings were partially offset by ATCO Structures' lower workforce housing rental activity in Canada and the US and lower workforce housing trade activity due to substantial used fleet sales and installation activity in 2022 in Australia and Canada, and start-up costs on ATCO Frontec's Pogo Mine project and the closure of the Trans Mountain Clearwater camp.

Detailed information about the activities and financial results of the Structures & Logistics businesses is provided in the following sections.

ATCO STRUCTURES

ATCO Structures manufactures, sells and leases space rental products, transportable workforce housing, and residential housing. Space rentals sells and leases mobile office trailers in various sizes and floor plans to suit our customers’ needs. Workforce housing delivers modular workforce housing worldwide, including short-term and

permanent modular construction, pre-fabricated and relocatable modular buildings. Residential housing manufactures and sells pre-fabricated, modular residential homes.

ATCO Structures adjusted earnings of $19 million in the first quarter of 2023 were $3 million higher than the same period in 2022 mainly due to additional earnings from Triple M and increased space rentals performance in most geographies, partially offset by lower workforce housing rental activity in Canada and the US and lower workforce housing trade activity due to substantial used fleet sales and installation activity in 2022 in Australia and Canada.

The following table compares ATCO Structures' rental fleet for the first quarter of 2023 and 2022.

Rental Fleet

Space Rentals

The year-over-year growth of the space rentals fleet is the result of continued strategic expansion in targeted regions of Canada, Australia, the US and Chile. ATCO Structures has increased the number of units on rent and realized higher average rental rates due to sustained higher demand for space rentals fleet in these regions. Following the easing of distancing requirements related to COVID-19, utilization has returned to the typical seasonal profile with cyclical lows in the first and fourth quarters. Utilization has been temporarily impacted by the strategic fleet expansion due to the timing of placing fleet additions on rent.

Workforce Housing

Workforce housing fleet has remained consistent year-over-year following strategic disposals of non-utilized fleet assets in the US, Canada, and Australia in the prior year. The decrease in utilization was mainly attributable to the rental term concluding for Trans Mountain Expansion Project’s (TMEP) 600-person camp in Clearwater, BC during the first quarter of 2023. Clearwater is the first of three TMEP camps to come offline; rental terms for the remaining two camps will conclude in the second and third quarters of 2023.

ATCO STRUCTURES RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Canada

Residential Housing

Triple M posted strong results for the first quarter of 2023 due to execution of orders placed in 2022, and seasonal peaks in the first and fourth quarters offsetting the seasonality of ATCO Structures’ Space Rentals business during these periods.

ATCO FRONTEC

ATCO Frontec provides facility operations and maintenance services, workforce lodging and support services, defence operations services, and disaster and emergency management services.

ATCO Frontec adjusted earnings of $3 million in the first quarter of 2023 were $1 million lower than the same period in 2022 mainly due to start-up costs on ATCO Frontec's Pogo Mine project and the closure of the Trans Mountain Clearwater camp. Lower earnings were partially offset by earnings from the North Warning System contract.

ATCO FRONTEC RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

BHP Jansen Discovery Lodge

In February 2023, Wicehtowak Frontec Services (WFS), ATCO Frontec’s joint venture partnership with George Gordon Developments Ltd., was awarded a three-and-a-half-year base contract to provide camp support services for the BHP Jansen Discovery Lodge in Saskatchewan. The lodge, which was originally designed and built in 2012 by ATCO Structures, features diverse, high-end amenities, and accommodates up to 2,500 workers. WFS will provide management and administration, food services, retail, housekeeping and janitorial, and maintenance work for the facility. As of April 1, 2023, WFS has successfully transitioned to operating the Jansen Discovery Lodge.

Trans Mountain Clearwater Camp

In January 2023, one of the Trans Mountain camps located in Clearwater, BC was closed as the Trans Mountain Expansion Project moves towards completion. The camp was an ATCO Frontec joint venture operation with Simpcw First Nation and began operating the 540-bed camp in October 2020 with an average occupancy of 242 rooms per day.

Canadian Utilities is a diversified global energy infrastructure corporation delivering operating and service excellence and innovative business solutions in Utilities (Electricity and Natural Gas transmission and distribution, and International Operations); Energy Infrastructure (Energy Storage, Energy Generation, Industrial Water Solutions, and Clean Fuels); and Retail Energy (Electricity and Natural Gas Retail Sales, and Whole-Home Solutions).

UTILITIES

REVENUES

Utilities revenues of $933 million in the first quarter of 2023 were $31 million lower compared to the same period in 2022 mainly due to cost efficiencies generated by Electricity Distribution and Natural Gas Distribution over the second generation PBR term now being passed onto customers under the 2023 COS rebasing framework, and the AUC decision to maximize the collection of 2021 deferred revenues in 2022 as a result of rate relief provided to customers in 2021. In addition, revenues in Electricity Transmission are lower due to the setting of interim rates. The applied for negotiated settlement agreement reflects ceased collection as well as a refund of previously collected federal deferral income taxes. This collection was undertaken beginning in 2011 to improve cash flows during the construction of major transmission projects at that time. These actions do not significantly impact adjusted earnings, however, will reduce revenues and cash flows from 2023 to 2025, providing rate relief to customers. Lower revenues were partially offset by higher flow-through revenues in Electricity Distribution, and increased third party works and higher rates and increased system volumes in International Natural Gas Distribution.

ATCO LTD. 2023 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Utilities adjusted earnings of $120 million in the first quarter of 2023 were $4 million lower than the same period in 2022 mainly due to cost efficiencies generated by Electricity Distribution and Natural Gas Distribution over the second generation PBR term now being passed onto customers under the 2023 COS rebasing framework. Lower earnings were partially offset by new cost efficiencies realized in 2023 in Electricity Distribution and Natural Gas Distribution, and the timing of the impact of inflation indexing on rate base in 2022 and higher rates and increased system volumes in International Natural Gas Distribution.

Detailed information about the activities and financial results of the Utilities business segments is provided in the following sections.

Electricity Distribution

Electricity Distribution provides regulated electricity distribution and distributed generation mainly in Northern and Central East Alberta, the Yukon, the Northwest Territories and in the Lloydminster area of Saskatchewan.

Electricity Distribution adjusted earnings of $20 million in the first quarter of 2023 were $5 million lower than the same period in 2022 mainly due to cost efficiencies generated over the second generation PBR term now being passed onto customers under the 2023 COS rebasing framework, partially offset by new cost efficiencies realized in 2023 and growth in rate base.

Electricity Transmission

Electricity Transmission provides electricity transmission mainly in Northern and Central East Alberta, and in the Lloydminster area of Saskatchewan. Electricity Transmission has a 35-year contract to be the operator of Alberta PowerLine, a 500-km electricity transmission line between Wabamun, near Edmonton, and Fort McMurray, Alberta.

Electricity Transmission adjusted earnings of $24 million in the first quarter of 2023 were $1 million higher compared to the same period in 2022 mainly due to cost efficiencies.

International Electricity Operations

International Electricity Operations includes Canadian Utilities' 50 per cent ownership in LUMA Energy, a company formed to transform, modernize and operate Puerto Rico's 30,000-km electricity transmission and distribution system under an Operations and Maintenance Agreement with the Puerto Rico Public-Private Partnerships Authority (P3A) and the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority.

LUMA Energy continues to operate under the terms of a Supplemental Agreement, which was extended on November 30, 2022 and will continue until such time that PREPA's bankruptcy is resolved. The agreement allows LUMA Energy to collect an annualized fixed fee equivalent of $115 million USD. Following the resolution of PREPA's bankruptcy proceeding, LUMA Energy will transition to year one of the Operations and Maintenance agreement.

International Electricity Operations adjusted earnings of $6 million in the first quarter of 2023 were comparable to the same period in 2022.

Natural Gas Distribution

Natural Gas Distribution serves municipal, residential, commercial and industrial customers throughout Alberta and in the Lloydminster area of Saskatchewan.

Natural Gas Distribution adjusted earnings of $47 million in the first quarter of 2023 were $5 million lower than the same period in 2022 mainly due to cost efficiencies generated over the second generation PBR term now being passed onto customers under the 2023 COS rebasing framework. Lower earnings were partially offset by growth in rate base and new cost efficiencies realized in 2023.

Natural Gas Transmission

Natural Gas Transmission receives natural gas on its pipeline system from various gas processing plants as well as from other natural gas transmission systems and transports it to end users within the province of Alberta or to other pipeline systems.

Natural Gas Transmission adjusted earnings of $13 million in the first quarter of 2023 were $1 million higher than the same period in 2022 mainly due to growth in rate base.

14

ATCO LTD. 2023 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

International Natural Gas Distribution

International Natural Gas Distribution is a regulated provider of natural gas distribution services in Western Australia, serving metropolitan Perth and surrounding regions.

International Natural Gas Distribution adjusted earnings of $10 million in the first quarter of 2023 were $4 million higher than the same period in 2022 mainly due to the timing of the impact of inflation indexing on rate base in 2022 and higher rates and increased system volumes.

In the first quarter of 2022, Australia inflation indexing reflected a full year inflation assumption of 3 per cent which increased to 8 per cent by the end of 2022. It is expected that inflation for 2023 will be in the range of 4 to 5 per cent.

Alberta Court of Appeal ATCO Electric Distribution Fort McMurray Wildfire Decision

On April 14, 2023, the Alberta Court of Appeal issued their decision with respect to Electricity Distribution's Fort McMurray Wildfire Decision issued by the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) which denied the ability for Electricity Distribution to recover the balance of the prudent cost of assets which were destroyed by the Fort McMurray wildfires of 2016. The decision was positive and granted the Appeal which now refers the matter back to the AUC for reconsideration in light of the Court's guidance.

ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE

REVENUES

Energy Infrastructure revenues of $131 million in the first quarter of 2023 were $50 million higher than the same period in 2022 mainly due to revenues from the Forty Mile and Adelaide wind assets acquired in January 2023 and higher revenues at the Alberta Hub and Carbon natural gas storage facilities.

Energy Infrastructure adjusted earnings of $8 million in the first quarter of 2023 were $4 million higher than the same period in 2022 mainly due to earnings from the Forty Mile and Adelaide wind assets acquired in January 2023, and higher earnings from the Alberta Hub and Carbon natural gas storage facilities, partially offset by higher project development costs in Australia.

Detailed information about the activities and financial results of Energy Infrastructure's businesses is provided in the following sections.

15 ATCO LTD. 2023 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Electricity Generation

Non-regulated electricity activities include the supply of electricity from solar, wind, hydroelectric, and natural gas generating plants in Canada, Australia, Mexico, and Chile.

Electricity Generation adjusted earnings of $4 million in the first quarter of 2023 were $3 million higher compared to the same period in 2022 mainly due to additional earnings from the Forty Mile and Adelaide wind assets acquired in January 2023, partially offset by project development costs in Australia.

Storage & Industrial Water

Storage & Industrial Water provides non-regulated natural gas storage, natural gas liquids storage, and industrial water services in Alberta and energy services in the Northwest Territories.

Storage & Industrial Water adjusted earnings of $4 million in the first quarter of 2023 were $1 million higher compared to the same period in 2022 mainly due to higher earnings from the Alberta Hub and Carbon natural gas storage facilities.

ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Renewable Energy Portfolio Acquisition

On January 3, 2023, Canadian Utilities closed the previously announced acquisition of renewable assets from Suncor Energy Inc. The acquisition includes a majority interest in the 30-MW Adelaide wind facility in Ontario, the new 202MW Forty Mile wind project in Alberta, and a development pipeline with more than 1,500-MW of wind and solar projects at various stages of development, including several late-stage projects.

Concurrent with the close of this acquisition, Canadian Utilities entered into a new 15-year renewable energy purchase agreement with Microsoft Corporation beginning July 1, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, Microsoft will purchase 150-MW of renewable energy generated by Canadian Utilities' Forty Mile Wind Phase 1 Project in Alberta. The offtake from the Adelaide wind facility is also contracted under a long-term power purchase agreement until January 2035.

Osborne Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) Extension

On February 3, 2023, Canadian Utilities executed an extension to the current PPA with Origin Energy Electricity Limited for the Osborne electricity cogeneration facility in South Australia. The extension is for a period of three years, commencing on January 1, 2024, with a further one year option. The terms of the extension are similar to the current tolling arrangement with increased flexibility and dispatch capability for the customer.

CANADIAN UTILITIES CORPORATE & OTHER

Canadian Utilities' Corporate & Other segment includes Rümi, Blue Flame Kitchen and Retail Energy through ATCO Energy which provides home products, home maintenance services, professional advice, and retail electricity and natural gas services in Alberta. Corporate & Other also includes the global corporate head office in Calgary, Canada, the Australia corporate head office in Perth, Australia and the Mexico corporate head office in Mexico City, Mexico.

17 ATCO LTD. 2023 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Government of Canada Federal Budget 2023

Building on 2022 clean energy and investment tax credit (ITC) announcements, the 2023 Canadian Federal Budget (Budget 2023) released on March 28, 2023, provided further details including:

  • Clean Technology ITC – originally announced in 2022 as a 30 per cent refundable tax credit in clean technologies, Budget 2023 expanded this credit to include certain geothermal equipment used to produce geothermal energy or heat energy.

  • Clean Hydrogen ITC – a 15 to 40 per cent refundable tax credit available on eligible equipment for projects that produce hydrogen from electrolysis or natural gas with emissions that are abated using Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS).

  • Clean Electricity ITC – a 15 per cent refundable tax credit for investments in non-emitting electricity generation systems (i.e., solar, wind, hydro, nuclear), abated natural gas-fired electricity generation, electricity storage systems, and equipment used for transmission of electricity between provinces and territories.

  • Clean Technology Manufacturing ITC – a 30 per cent refundable tax credit for the capital costs of machinery and equipment used in manufacturing of renewable energy equipment (i.e., solar, wind, geothermal, nuclear), nuclear energy equipment, grid-scale electrical storage equipment, zero-emission vehicles, batteries, fuel cells, recharging systems for vehicles, and hydrogen production equipment.

  • Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage ITC – previously released in 2022, eligible equipment for this credit will now include dual-use equipment that produces heat and/or power, or uses water, and is used for CCUS with further details to be released in the coming months.

For expenditures that qualify under more than one ITC program, only one credit may be claimed in respect of the relevant piece of property or equipment. There are many details still pending for the different programs announced.

Carbon Pricing/Output-Based Pricing Systems

Announced in January 2023, the carbon price in Canada increased from $50 to $65 per tonne, beginning April 2023. The Government of Canada’s plan on climate change proposes to increase the carbon price by $15 per tonne each year starting in 2023, rising to $170 per tonne by 2030.

OPERATING COSTS

Operating costs, which are total costs and expenses less depreciation and amortization, decreased by $47 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Lower operating costs were mainly due to higher unrealized and realized gains on derivative financial instruments in ATCO Energy, lower purchased power expense after the sale of a controlling interest in Northland Utilities Enterprises (NUE) in 2022, and costs incurred in 2022 related to the AUC enforcement proceeding. Lower operating costs were partially offset by legal and other costs related to the Wipro Ltd. (Wipro) Master Services Agreements (MSAs) matter that was concluded on February 26, 2023, increased fuel costs at Energy Infrastructure's Carbon and Alberta Hub natural gas storage facilities, and increased materials costs at ATCO Structures resulting from the acquisition of Triple M in December 2022.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Depreciation and amortization increased by $14 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 mainly due to the acquisition of the Forty Mile and Adelaide wind assets acquired in January 2023 in Energy Infrastructure, ATCO Structures' increase in global rental fleet assets, and ongoing investment in Canadian Utilities' Regulated Utilities.

EARNINGS FROM INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATE COMPANY

Earnings from investment in associate company relate to our 40 per cent ownership interest in Neltume Ports, a leading port operator and developer based in South America with operations in 17 port facilities and 6 port operation services businesses located in Chile, Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, and the US.

Earnings from investment in associate company in the first quarter of 2023 were $1 million higher than the same period in 2022 due to favourable foreign exchange rates during the quarter.

EARNINGS FROM INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES

Earnings from investment in joint ventures is mainly comprised of Canadian Utilities' ownership positions in electricity generation plants, Northland Utilities Enterprises electricity operations in the Northwest Territories, LUMA Energy electricity operations and maintenance in Puerto Rico, and the Strathcona Storage Limited Partnership, which operates hydrocarbon storage facilities at the ATCO Heartland Energy Centre near Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta.

Earnings from investment in joint ventures in the first quarter of 2023 were $2 million higher than the same period in 2022 mainly due to the inclusion of NUE earnings as an investment in joint venture after the sale of a controlling interest on March 31, 2022.

19 ATCO LTD. 2023 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

NET FINANCE COSTS

Net finance costs in the first quarter of 2023 were comparable to the same period in 2022.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income taxes were higher by $9 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 mainly due to higher IFRS earnings before income taxes, partially offset by prior year non-deductible items.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our financial position is supported by our diversified portfolio with a structured foundation of regulated and longterm contracted businesses. Our business strategies, funding of operations, and planned future growth are supported by maintaining strong investment grade credit ratings and access to capital markets at competitive rates. Primary sources of capital are cash flow from operations and capital markets. Liquidity is generated by cash flow from operations and is supported by appropriate levels of cash and available committed credit facilities.

LINES OF CREDIT

At March 31, 2023, ATCO and its subsidiaries had the following lines of credit.

($ millions) Total Used Available
Long-term committed 3,745 1,471 2,274
Short-term committed 355 355
Uncommitted 641 253 388
Total 4,741 2,079 2,662

Of the $4,741 million in total lines of credit, $641 million was in the form of uncommitted credit facilities with no set maturity date. The other $4,100 million in credit lines was committed with maturities between 2023 and 2026, and may be extended at the option of the lenders.

Of the $2,079 million in lines of credit used, $650 million was related to ATCO Gas Australia Pty Ltd. Long-term committed credit lines are used to satisfy all of ATCO Gas Australia Pty Ltd's term debt financing needs. The majority of the remaining usage is related to the funding of the renewable energy portfolio acquisition in Energy Infrastructure and Canadian Utilities' issuance of letters of credit, and ATCO Structures & Logistics' funding to expand its global rental fleet and working capital needs on workforce housing projects.

CONSOLIDATED CASH FLOW

At March 31, 2023, the Company's cash position was $724 million, a decrease of $309 million compared to December 31, 2022 mainly due to cash used to fund the capital investment program including the acquisition of renewable wind assets in January 2023, investments in marketable securities, dividends paid, payments of debt and interest, partially offset by Canadian Utilities' first quarter debt issuance, and cash flows from operating activities achieved during the first quarter of 2023.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities were $554 million in the first quarter of 2023, $134 million lower than the same period in 2022 mainly due to timing of payables.

Cash Used for Capital Investment (1) and Capital Expenditures

Total capital investment of $1,050 million in the first quarter of 2023 was $746 million higher compared to the same period in 2022 mainly due to the acquisition of the renewable energy portfolio in Canadian Utilities' Energy Infrastructure segment, ongoing capital investment in the Regulated Utilities, and continued expansion of ATCO Structures' space rentals fleet globally.

Total capital expenditures of $358 million in the first quarter of 2023 was $56 million higher compared to the same period in 2022 mainly due to the factors outlined above with the exception of the renewable energy portfolio acquisition within Canadian Utilities' Energy Infrastructure segment as this business combination is excluded from capital expenditures.

Marketable Securities

In February 2023, the Company invested excess cash of $290 million in marketable securities primarily consisting of publicly traded investment grade corporate and government bonds, private fixed income investments, bank loans and commercial mortgage funds. The Company's marketable securities are actively managed by an external investment manager with the majority of the investments being highly liquid and redeemable within 7 business days.

The marketable securities investments are initially measured at cost and are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, unrealized gains of $1 million and realized gains of $1 million were recognized and included in other costs and expenses in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

Dividends and Common Shares

We have increased our common share dividend each year since 1993, a 30-year track record. Dividends paid to Class I and Class II Share owners totaled $55 million in the first quarter of 2023.

On April 13, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a second quarter dividend of 47.56 cents per share. The payment of any dividend is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and depends on our financial condition and other factors.

ATCO LTD. 2023 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Other Debt Issuance

On January 3, 2023, Canadian Utilities entered into an unsecured non-revolving credit facility, consisting of two $355 million tranches to finance the acquisition of a portfolio of wind and solar assets and projects. The first and second $355 million tranches will mature on June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Both tranches bear an interest rate of Canadian Dollar Overnight Rate plus an applicable margin.

Normal Course Issuer Bid

We believe that, from time to time, the market price of our Class I Shares may not fully reflect the value of our business, and that purchasing Class I Shares represents a desirable use of available funds. The purchase of Class I Shares, at appropriate prices, will also minimize any dilution resulting from the exercise of stock options.

On March 9, 2022, we commenced a normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 1,011,907 outstanding Class I Shares. This bid expired on March 8, 2023. During this period, 486,400 shares were purchased for $23 million.

On March 13, 2023, we commenced a normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 1,014,881 outstanding Class I Shares. The bid will expire on March 12, 2024. Between March 13, 2023 and April 26, 2023, 558,600 Class I shares were purchased for $23 million.

SHARE CAPITAL

ATCO's equity securities consist of Class I Shares and Class II Shares.

At April 25, 2023, we had outstanding 100,929,582 Class I Shares, 12,424,996 Class II Shares, and options to purchase 1,809,300 Class I Shares.

CLASS I NON-VOTING SHARES AND CLASS II VOTING SHARES

Each Class II Share may be converted into one Class I Share at any time at the share owner’s option. If an offer to purchase all Class II Shares is made, and such offer is accepted and taken up by the owners of a majority of the Class II Shares, and, if at the same time, an offer is not made to the Class I Share owners on the same terms and conditions, then the Class I Shares will be entitled to the same voting rights as the Class II Shares. The two share classes rank equally in all other respects, except for voting rights.

Of the 10,200,000 Class I Shares authorized for grant of options under our stock option plan, 8,378,000 Class I Shares were available for issuance at March 31, 2023. Options may be granted to officers and key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries at an exercise price equal to the weighted average of the trading price of the shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the five trading days immediately preceding the grant date. The vesting provisions and exercise period (which cannot exceed 10 years) are determined at the time of grant.

Our financial results for the previous eight quarters reflect the cyclical demand for workforce housing and seasonality with our space rental products and services in ATCO Structures and ATCO Frontec, cargo volumes and margins at Neltume Ports, and in Canadian Utilities, the timing of utility regulatory decisions, and the seasonal nature of demand for natural gas and electricity.

ADJUSTED EARNINGS

Adjusted earnings in the second quarter of 2022 were higher compared to the same period in 2021 mainly due to the impact of inflation indexing on rate base in Canadian Utilities' International Natural Gas Distribution business, the impact of the 2018-2019 General Tariff Application (GTA) Compliance Filing decision received in the second quarter of 2021 in the Electric Transmission business, timing of operating costs in the Natural Gas Distribution business, and the site preparation and installation work commencement on ATCO Structures' Bechtel Pluto Train II project in Australia.

Adjusted earnings in the third quarter of 2022 were higher compared to the same period in 2021 mainly due to the impact of inflation indexing on rate base in Canadian Utilities' International Natural Gas Distribution business, ATCO

24

ATCO LTD. 2023 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Structures' strong business performance driven by space rentals activity globally and earnings from the Bechtel Pluto Train II project, and Energy Infrastructure's earnings from the Alberta Hub natural gas facility acquired in December 2021.

Adjusted earnings in the fourth quarter of 2022 were lower compared to the same period in 2021 mainly due to timing of cost recoveries in Canadian Utilities' International Electricity Operations, the timing of operating costs in Electricity Distribution, Natural Gas Distribution and International Electricity Operations, increased financing costs from a new preferred dividend issuance in December 2021 at Canadian Utilities Corporate and a one-time tax benefit in 2021 at ATCO Corporate. Earnings were partially offset by timing of certain expenses and higher interest income earned at ATCO and Canadian Utilities Corporate segments.

Adjusted earnings in the first quarter of 2023 were higher compared to the same period in 2022 mainly due to earnings from Energy Infrastructure's acquisition of the Forty Mile and Adelaide wind assets in January 2023 and ATCO Structures' acquisition of Triple M in December 2022, new cost efficiencies realized in 2023 in Electricity Distribution and Natural Gas Distribution, increased space rentals activity in most geographies for ATCO Structures, and the timing of the impact of inflation indexing on rate base in 2022 in International Natural Gas Distribution. Higher earnings were partially offset by cost efficiencies generated by Electricity Distribution and Natural Gas Distribution over the second generation PBR term now being passed onto customers under the 2023 COS rebasing framework.

EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO CLASS I AND CLASS II SHARES

Earnings attributable to Class I and Class II Shares include timing adjustments related to rate-regulated activities and unrealized gains or losses on mark-to-market forward and swap commodity contracts. They also include one-time gains and losses, impairments, and other items that are not in the normal course of business or a result of day-to-day operations recorded at various times over the past eight quarters. These items are excluded from adjusted earnings and are highlighted below:

  • Early Termination of the MSAs for Managed IT Services

  • The transition of the managed IT services from Wipro to IBM commenced on February 1, 2021 and was completed by December 31, 2021. In 2021, ATCO recognized transition costs of $22 million (after-tax and non-controlling interests).

  • In the first quarter of 2023, the Company recognized legal and other costs of $5 million (after-tax and non-controlling interests) related to the Wipro MSAs matter which was concluded on February 26, 2023.

  • In the second quarter of 2021, impairments and other costs not in the normal course of business of $33 million (after-tax and non-controlling interests) were recorded. Canadian Utilities incurred $28 million of these costs in Mexico, related mainly to its Veracruz hydro facility within its Energy Infrastructure segment. The charge reflected an adverse arbitration decision, changes in market regulations, ongoing political uncertainty, and a challenging operating environment, resulting in an impairment of the carrying value of the assets. Other costs recorded were individually immaterial.

  • During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company recorded earnings of $9 million (after-tax and noncontrolling interests) following the conclusion of the Company's involvement in an international project.

  • AUC Enforcement Proceeding

  • On April 14, 2022, the AUC Enforcement branch and ATCO Electric Transmission filed a settlement with the AUC regarding a sole source contract for the Jasper interconnection project. On June 29, 2022, the AUC issued its decision approving the settlement in its entirety. In the fourth quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2022, the Company recognized costs of $7 million and $14 million (after-tax and non-controlling interests), respectively, related to the proceeding.

  • Workplace COVID-19 Vaccination Standard

  • To safeguard the health and safety of employees, business partners, customers and communities, the Company required its employees, subject to certain exemptions, to be vaccinated against COVID-19 effective January 1, 2022. Employees who did not demonstrate they were vaccinated or did not have an approved exemption were provided severance. In 2022, the

25 ATCO LTD. 2023 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Company incurred $5 million (after-tax and non-controlling interests) in severance and related costs associated with the Workplace COVID-19 vaccination standard.

  • Gain on sale of ownership interest in a subsidiary company

    • On March 31, 2022, the Company and Denendeh Investments Incorporated (DII) entered into a share purchase agreement to increase DII's ownership interest in Northland Utilities Enterprises Ltd. from 14 per cent to 50 per cent. The transaction resulted in a gain on sale of $3 million (after-tax and non-controlling interests). Effective March 31, 2022, the Company no longer consolidates NUE as a controlled subsidiary, and instead, accounts for its interest in NUE as an investment in joint venture using the equity method.
  • In the fourth quarter of 2022, a reversal of impairment of $2 million (after-tax and non-controlling interests) was recorded mainly related to Energy Infrastructure's joint venture investment in the Osborne electricity cogeneration facility located in South Australia. The reversal resulted from an improvement in the future outlook of power market prices.

Adjusted earnings are defined as earnings attributable to Class I and Class II Shares after adjusting for the timing of revenues and expenses associated with rate-regulated activities and unrealized gains or losses on mark-to-market forward and swap commodity contracts. Adjusted earnings also exclude one-time gains and losses, impairments, and items that are not in the normal course of business or a result of day-to-day operations.

Adjusted earnings present earnings from rate-regulated activities on the same basis as was used prior to adopting IFRS - that basis being the US accounting principles for rate-regulated activities. Adjusted earnings are presented in Note 3 of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Adjusted earnings per Class I and Class II Share is calculated by dividing adjusted earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period.

Adjusted earnings are most directly comparable to earnings attributable to Class I and Class II shares but is not a standardized financial measure under the reporting framework used to prepare our financial statements. Adjusted earnings may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. Management’s view is that adjusted earnings allow for a more effective analysis of operating performance and trends. For investors, adjusted earnings may provide value as they exclude items that are not in the normal course of business and, as such, provide insight as to earnings resulting from the issuer's usual course of business. A reconciliation of adjusted earnings to earnings attributable to Class I and Class II Shares is presented in this MD&A.

Total of segments measures are most directly comparable to total earnings attributable to Class I and Class II shares. Comparable total of segments measures for the same period in 2022 have been calculated using the same composition and are disclosed alongside the current total of segments measures in this MD&A. A reconciliation of the total of segments measures with total earnings attributable to Class I and Class II shares is presented in this MD&A.

Non-GAAP financial measures presented in this MD&A are defined as financial measures disclosed by an issuer that are not disclosed in the financial statements.

Capital investment is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as cash used for capital expenditures, business combinations, and cash used in the Company's share of capital expenditures in joint ventures. Capital expenditures includes additions to property, plant and equipment and intangibles as well as interest capitalized during construction. Capital investment is most directly comparable to capital expenditures. Capital investment is not a standardized financial measure under the reporting framework used to prepare our financial statements. Capital investment may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. Management views capital investment as the Company's total cash investment in assets. For investors, capital investment is useful because it identifies how much cash is being used to acquire and invest in assets. A reconciliation of capital investments to capital expenditures is presented in this MD&A.

RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED EARNINGS TO EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO CLASS I AND CLASS II SHARES

Adjusted earnings are earnings attributable to Class I and Class II Shares after adjusting for the timing of revenues and expenses associated with rate-regulated activities and unrealized gains or losses on mark-to-market forward and swap commodity contracts. Adjusted earnings also exclude one-time gains and losses, impairments, and items that are not in the normal course of business or a result of day-to-day operations.

Adjusted earnings are a key measure of segment earnings that management uses to assess segment performance and allocate resources. It is management’s view that adjusted earnings allow a better assessment of the economics of rate regulation in Canada and Australia than IFRS earnings. Additional information regarding this measure is provided in the Other Financial and Non-GAAP Measures section of this MD&A.

ATCO LTD. 2023 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

UNREALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES ON MARK-TO-MARKET FORWARD AND SWAP COMMODITY CONTRACTS

The Company’s retail electricity and natural gas business in Alberta enters into fixed-price swap commodity contracts to manage exposure to electricity and natural gas prices and volumes. These contracts are measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses due to changes in the fair value of fixed-price swap commodity contracts are recognized in the Corporate & Other segment.

The CODM believes that removal of the unrealized gains and losses on mark-to-market forward and swap commodity contracts provides a better representation of operating results for the Company's operations.

Realized gains or losses are recognized in adjusted earnings when the commodity contracts are settled.

RATE-REGULATED ACTIVITIES

ATCO Electric Transmission, ATCO Electric Distribution, ATCO Electric Yukon, Northland Utilities (NWT), Northland Utilities (Yellowknife), ATCO Gas, ATCO Pipelines and ATCO Gas Australia are collectively referred to as the Regulated Utilities.

There is currently no specific guidance under IFRS for rate-regulated entities that the Company is eligible to adopt. In the absence of this guidance, the Regulated Utilities do not recognize assets and liabilities from rate-regulated activities as may be directed by regulatory decisions. Instead, the Regulated Utilities recognize revenues in earnings when amounts are billed to customers, consistent with the regulator-approved rate design. Operating costs and expenses are recorded when incurred. Costs incurred in constructing an asset that meet the asset recognition criteria are included in the related property, plant and equipment or intangible asset.

The Company uses standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the United States as another source of generally accepted accounting principles to account for rate-regulated activities in its internal reporting provided to the CODM. The CODM believes that earnings presented in accordance with the FASB standards are a better representation of the operating results of the Company’s rate-regulated activities. Therefore, the Company presents adjusted earnings as part of its segmented disclosures on this basis. Rate-regulated accounting (RRA) standards impact the timing of how certain revenues and expenses are recognized when compared to non-rate regulated activities, to appropriately reflect the economic impact of a regulator's decisions on revenues.

Rate-regulated accounting differs from IFRS in the following ways:

29 ATCO LTD. 2023 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

For the three months ended March 31, the significant timing adjustments as a result of the differences between rate-regulated accounting and IFRS are as follows:

(1) Removal and site restoration costs are billed to customers over the estimated useful life of the related assets based on forecast costs to be incurred in future periods.

(2) Natural Gas Distribution's customer rates are based on a forecast of normal temperatures. Fluctuations in temperatures may result in more or less revenue being recovered from customers than forecast. Revenues above or below normal temperatures in the current period are refunded to or recovered from customers in future periods.

(3) Income taxes are billed to customers when paid by the Company.

(4) The inflation-indexed portion of International Natural Gas Distribution's rate base is billed to customers through the recovery of depreciation in subsequent years based on the actual or forecasted annual rate of inflation. Under rate-regulated accounting, revenue is recognized in the current period for the inflation component of rate base when it is earned. Differences between the amounts earned and the amounts billed to customers are deferred and recognized in revenues over the service life of the related asset.

(5) In 2021, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Electricity Distribution and Natural Gas Distribution had interim rate relief for customers approved by the AUC to hold current distribution base rates in place. Based on direction from the AUC, collection of 2021 deferred rates commenced in 2022 and for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023, $3 million (after-tax and non-controlling interests) (2022 - $18 million (after-tax and non-controlling interests)) was billed to customers.

(6) In the first quarter of 2023, Electricity Distribution recorded an increase in earnings of $8 million (after- tax and non-controlling interests) related to payments of electricity transmission costs.

IT COMMON MATTERS DECISION

Consistent with the treatment of the gain on sale in 2014 from the IT services business by the Company, financial impacts associated with the IT Common Matters decision are excluded from adjusted earnings. The amount excluded from adjusted earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $3 million (after-tax and noncontrolling interests) (2022 - $2 million (after-tax and non-controlling interests)).

TRANSITION OF MANAGED IT SERVICES

In the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized additional legal and other costs of $5 million (after-tax and non-controlling interests) related to the Wipro Ltd. MSA matter that was concluded on February 26, 2023.

AUC ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDING

On April 14, 2022, the AUC Enforcement branch and ATCO Electric Transmission filed a settlement with the AUC regarding a sole source contract for the Jasper interconnection project. On June 29, 2022, the AUC issued its decision approving the settlement in its entirety. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company recognized costs of $14 million (after-tax and non-controlling interests) related to the proceeding.

WORKPLACE COVID-19 VACCINATION STANDARD

To safeguard the health and safety of employees, business partners, customers and communities, the Company required its employees, subject to certain exemptions, to be vaccinated against COVID-19 effective January 1, 2022. Employees who did not demonstrate they were vaccinated or did not have an approved exemption were provided severance. In 2022, the Company incurred $5 million (after-tax and non-controlling interests) in severance and related costs associated with the Workplace COVID-19 vaccination standard.

GAIN ON SALE OF OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN A SUBSIDIARY COMPANY

On March 31, 2022, the Company and DII entered into a share purchase agreement to increase DII's ownership interest in NUE from 14 per cent to 50 per cent. The transaction resulted in a gain on sale of $3 million (after-tax and non-controlling interests). Effective March 31, 2022, the Company no longer consolidates NUE as a controlled subsidiary, and instead, accounts for its interest in NUE as an investment in joint venture using the equity method.

The Company's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in this forward-looking information as a result of, among other things, risks inherent in the performance of assets; capital efficiencies and cost savings; applicable laws and government policies; regulatory decisions; competitive factors in the industries in which the Company operates; prevailing economic conditions; credit risk; interest rate fluctuations; the availability and cost of labour, materials, services, and infrastructure; the development and execution of projects; prices of electricity, natural gas, natural gas liquids, and renewable energy; the development and performance of technology and new energy efficient products, services, and programs including but not limited to the use of zero-emission and renewable fuels, carbon capture, and storage, electrification of equipment powered by zero-emission energy sources and utilization and availability of carbon offsets; potential termination or breach of contract by contract counterparties; the occurrence of unexpected events such as fires, severe weather conditions, explosions, blowouts, equipment failures, transportation incidents, and other accidents or similar events; and other risk factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Due to the interdependencies and correlation of these factors, the impact of any one material assumption or risk on a forward-looking statement cannot be determined with certainty. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing lists are not exhaustive. For additional information about the principal risks that the Company faces, see “Business Risks and Risk Management” in the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2022.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared according to International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). They do not include all the disclosures required in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, prepared according to IFRS.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared following the same accounting policies used in the Company’s most recent annual consolidated financial statements, except for income taxes. In interim periods, income taxes are accrued using an estimate of the annualized effective tax rate applied to year-to-date earnings.

45 ATCO LTD. 2023 UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Audit & Risk Committee, on behalf of the Board of Directors, on April 26, 2023.

BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historic cost basis, except for marketable securities, derivative financial instruments, retirement benefit obligations and cash-settled share-based compensation liabilities which are carried at remeasured amounts or fair value.

Revenues, earnings and adjusted earnings for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of operations on an annual basis. Quarterly financial results may be affected by the seasonal nature of the Company’s operations, the timing of utility rate decisions, the timing and demand of natural gas storage capacity sold and changes in natural gas storage fees, the amount of sunlight or wind available to produce renewable energy and changes in market conditions for workforce housing and space rentals operations.

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

ADJUSTED EARNINGS

Adjusted earnings are earnings attributable to Class I and II Shares after adjusting for:

  • the timing of revenues and expenses for rate-regulated activities;

  • one-time gains and losses;

  • unrealized gains and losses on mark-to-market forward and swap commodity contracts;

  • impairments; and

  • items that are not in the normal course of business or a result of day-to-day operations.

Adjusted earnings are a key measure of segment earnings used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to assess segment performance and allocate resources. Other accounts in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have not been adjusted as they are not used by the CODM for those purposes.

Transition of managed IT services

In the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized additional legal and other costs of $5 million (after-tax and non-controlling interests (NCI)) related to the Wipro Ltd. master services agreements matter that was concluded on February 26, 2023. The impact was recorded in other expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings, provisions and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, and in changes in non-cash working capital in the consolidated statements of cash flows. As these costs are not in the normal course of business, they have been excluded from adjusted earnings.

Unrealized gains and losses on mark-to-market forward and swap commodity contracts

The Company’s retail electricity and natural gas business in Alberta enters into fixed-price swap commodity contracts to manage exposure to electricity and natural gas prices and volumes. These contracts are measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses due to changes in the fair value of fixed-price swap commodity contracts are recognized in the Corporate & Other segment.

The CODM believes that removal of the unrealized gains and losses on mark-to-market forward and swap commodity contracts provides a better representation of operating results for the Company's operations.

Realized gains or losses are recognized in adjusted earnings when the commodity contracts are settled.

Rate-regulated activities

ATCO Electric Transmission, ATCO Electric Distribution, ATCO Electric Yukon, Northland Utilities (NWT), Northland Utilities (Yellowknife), ATCO Gas, ATCO Pipelines and ATCO Gas Australia are collectively referred to as the Regulated Utilities.

There is currently no specific guidance under IFRS for rate-regulated entities that the Company is eligible to adopt. In the absence of this guidance, the Regulated Utilities do not recognize assets and liabilities from rate-regulated activities as may be directed by regulatory decisions. Instead, the Regulated Utilities recognize revenues in earnings when amounts are billed to customers, consistent with the regulator-approved rate design. Operating costs and expenses are recorded when incurred. Costs incurred in constructing an asset that meet the asset recognition criteria are included in the related property, plant and equipment or intangible asset.

The Company uses standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the United States as another source of generally accepted accounting principles to account for rate-regulated activities in its internal reporting provided to the CODM. The CODM believes that earnings presented in accordance with the FASB standards are a better representation of the operating results of the Company’s rate-regulated activities. Therefore,

49 ATCO LTD. 2023 UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

the Company presents adjusted earnings as part of its segmented disclosures on this basis. Rate-regulated accounting (RRA) standards impact the timing of how certain revenues and expenses are recognized when compared to non-rate regulated activities, to appropriately reflect the economic impact of a regulator's decisions on revenues.

Rate-regulated accounting differs from IFRS in the following ways:

Timing Adjustment Items RRA Treatment IFRS Treatment
1. Additional revenues Future removal and site The Company defers the The Company recognizes

For the three months ended March 31, the significant timing adjustments as a result of the differences between rate-regulated accounting and IFRS are as follows:

(1) Removal and site restoration costs are billed to customers over the estimated useful life of the related assets based on forecast costs to be incurred in future periods.

(2) ATCO Gas Distribution's customer rates are based on a forecast of normal temperatures. Fluctuations in temperatures may result in more or less revenue being recovered from customers than forecast. Revenues above or below the normal temperatures in the current year are refunded to or recovered from customers in future periods.

(3) Income taxes are billed to customers when paid by the Company.

(4) The inflation-indexed portion of ATCO Gas Australia's (part of Natural Gas Distribution) rate base is billed to customers through the recovery of depreciation in subsequent years based on the actual or forecasted annual rate of inflation. Under rate-regulated accounting, revenue is recognized in the current period for the inflation component of rate base when it is earned. Differences between the amounts earned and the amounts billed to customers are deferred and recognized in revenues over the service life of the related asset.

ATCO LTD. 2023 UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 50

  • (5) In 2021, in response to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, ATCO Electric Distribution and ATCO Gas Distribution applied for interim rate relief for customers to hold current distribution base rates in place. This was approved by the AUC in 2021. Based on direction from the AUC, collection of 2021 deferred rate amounts commenced in 2022 and for the three months ended March 31, 2023, $3 million (after-tax and NCI) (2022 - $18 million (after-tax and NCI)) was billed to customers.

  • (6) For the three months ended March 31, 2023, ATCO Electric Distribution recorded an increase in earnings $8 million (after - tax and NCI) related to payments of electricity transmission costs.

IT Common Matters decision

Consistent with the treatment of the gain on sale in 2014 from the IT services business by the Company, financial impacts associated with the IT Common Matters decision are excluded from adjusted earnings. The amount excluded from adjusted earnings in the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $3 million (after-tax and NCI) (2022 - $2 million (after-tax and NCI)).

Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) enforcement proceeding

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized costs of $14 million (after-tax and NCI) related to the AUC enforcement proceeding. As this proceeding is not in the normal course of business, these costs have been excluded from adjusted earnings.

Workplace COVID-19 vaccination standard

To safeguard the health and safety of employees, business partners, customers and communities, the Company required its employees, subject to certain exemptions, to be vaccinated against COVID-19 effective January 1, 2022. Employees who did not demonstrate they were vaccinated or did not have an approved exemption were placed on unpaid leave. These employees were subsequently offered severance and in the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred $5 million (after-tax and NCI) related to amounts paid and accrued. As these costs were not in the normal course of business and were a one-time item, they have been excluded from adjusted earnings.

Gain on sale of ownership interest in a subsidiary company

On March 31, 2022, the Company and Denendeh Investments Incorporated (DII) entered into a share purchase agreement to increase DII's ownership interest in Northland Utilities Enterprises Ltd. (NUE) from 14 per cent to 50 per cent. NUE is an electric utility company operating in the Northwest Territories, Canada and was a subsidiary of ATCO Electric Ltd. The change in ownership interest was accomplished through the Company's sale to DII of a 36 per cent ownership interest in NUE for proceeds, net of cash disposed, of $8 million. The transaction resulted in the Company and DII each having a 50 per cent ownership interest in NUE. The sale of ownership interest resulted in a gain on sale of $3 million (after-tax and NCI). As the gain on sale was not in the normal course of business, it was excluded from adjusted earnings.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Financial instruments are measured at amortized cost or fair value. Fair value represents the estimated amounts at which financial instruments could be exchanged between knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Determining fair value requires management judgment. The valuation methods used to determine the fair value of each financial instrument and its associated level in the fair value hierarchy is described below.

Financial Instruments
Fair Value Method
Financial Instruments
Fair Value Method
Measured at Amortized Cost
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable

forward curves using unobservable inputs or extrapolation
from spot or forward prices in certain commodity contracts
(Level 3).
