These statements reflect the views of APUC with respect to future events, based upon assumptions relating to, among others, the performance of APUC’s assets and the business, interest and exchange rates, commodity market prices, and the financial and regulatory climate in which it operates. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements with respect to the expected performance of APUC, its future plans and its dividends to shareholders. Statements containing expressions such as “anticipates”, “believes”, “continues”, “could”, “expect”, “estimates”, “intends”, “may”, “outlook”, “plans”, “project”, “strives”, “will”, and similar expressions generally constitute forward-looking statements. Since forward-looking statements relate to future events and conditions, by their very nature they require APUC to make assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. APUC cautions that although it believes its assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances, these risks and uncertainties give rise to the possibility that actual results may differ materially from the expectations set out in the forward-looking statements. Material risk factors include the impact of movements in exchange rates and interest rates; the effects of changes in environmental and other laws and regulatory policy applicable to the energy and utilities sectors; decisions taken by regulators on monetary policy; and the state of the Canadian and the United States (“U.S.”) economies and accompanying business climate. APUC cautions that this list is not exhaustive, and other factors could adversely affect results. Given these risks, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements. In addition, such statements are made based on information available and expectations as of the date of this MD&A and such expectations may change after this date. APUC reviews material forwardlooking information it has presented, not less frequently than on a quarterly basis. APUC is not obligated to nor does it intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law. Non-GAAP Financial Measures The terms “adjusted net earnings”, “adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization” (“Adjusted EBITDA”), “adjusted funds from operations”, "per share adjusted net earnings", “per share cash provided by adjusted funds from operations”, “per share cash provided by operating activities”, "net energy sales", and "net utility sales", are used throughout this MD&A. The terms “adjusted net earnings”, “per share cash provided by operating activities”, “adjusted funds from operations”, “per share adjusted net earnings”, “per share cash provided by adjusted funds from operations”, Adjusted EBITDA, "net energy sales" and "net utility sales" are not recognized measures under GAAP. There is no standardized measure of “adjusted net earnings”, Adjusted EBITDA, “adjusted funds from operations”, “per share adjusted net earnings”, “per share cash provided by adjusted funds from operations”, “per share cash provided by operating activities”, "net energy sales", and "net utility sales". Consequently APUC’s method of calculating these measures may differ from methods used by other 2 companies and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. A calculation and analysis of “adjusted net earnings”, Adjusted EBITDA, “adjusted funds from operations”, “per share adjusted net earnings”, “per share cash provided by adjusted funds from operations”, “per share cash provided by operating activities”, "net energy sales" and "net utility sales" can be found throughout this MD&A. Per share cash provided by operating activities is not a substitute measure of performance for earnings per share. Amounts represented by per share cash provided by operating activities do not represent amounts available for distribution to shareholders and should be considered in light of various charges and claims against APUC. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted EBITDA EBITDA is a non-GAAP metric used by many investors to compare companies on the basis of ability to generate cash from operations. APUC uses these calculations to monitor the amount of cash generated by APUC as compared to the amount of dividends paid by APUC. APUC uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the operating performance of APUC without the effects of (as applicable): depreciation and amortization expense, income tax expense or recoveries, acquisition costs, litigation expenses, interest expense, unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments, non-cash write downs of intangibles and property, plant and equipment, earnings attributable to non-controlling interests, gains or losses on foreign exchange, earnings or loss from discontinued operations and other infrequent items unrelated to normal ongoing operations. APUC adjusts for these factors as they are typically non-cash, unusual in nature and are not factors used by management for evaluating the operating performance of the company. APUC believes that presentation of this measure will enhance an investor’s understanding of APUC’s operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be representative of cash provided by operating activities or results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net earnings Adjusted net earnings is a non-GAAP metric used by many investors to compare net earnings from operations without the effects of certain volatile primarily non-cash items that generally have no current economic impact or items such as acquisition expenses or litigation expenses and are viewed as not directly related to a company’s operating performance. Net earnings of APUC can be impacted positively or negatively by gains and losses on derivative financial instruments, including foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and energy forward purchase contracts as well as to movements in foreign exchange rates on foreign currency denominated debt and working capital balances. Adjusted weighted average shares outstanding represents weighted average shares outstanding adjusted to remove the dilution effect related to shares issued in advance of funding requirements. APUC uses adjusted net earnings to assess its performance without the effects of (as applicable): gains or losses on foreign exchange, unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments and interest rate swaps, acquisition costs, litigation expenses, non-cash write downs of intangibles and property, plant and equipment, earnings or loss from discontinued operations and other 3 infrequent items unrelated to normal operations as these are not reflective of the performance of the underlying business of APUC. APUC believes that analysis and presentation of net earnings or loss on this basis will enhance an investor’s understanding of the operating performance of its businesses. It is not intended to be representative of net earnings or loss determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted funds from operations Adjusted funds from operations is a non-GAAP metric used by investors to compare cash flows from operating activities without the effects of certain volatile items that generally have no current economic impact or items such as acquisition expenses and are viewed as not directly related to a company’s operating performance. Cash flows from operating activities of APUC can be impacted positively or negatively by changes in working capital balances, acquisition expenses, litigation expenses, cash provided or used in discontinued operations. Adjusted weighted average shares outstanding represents weighted average shares outstanding adjusted to remove the dilution effect related to shares issued in advance of funding requirements. APUC uses adjusted funds from operations to assess its performance without the effects of (as applicable) changes in working capital balances, acquisition expenses, litigation expenses, cash provided or used in discontinued operations and other infrequent items unrelated to normal operations affecting cash from operations as these are not reflective of the long-term performance of the underlying businesses of APUC. APUC believes that analysis and presentation of funds from operations on this basis will enhance an investor’s understanding of the operating performance of its businesses. It is not intended to be representative of cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. Net energy sales Net energy sales is a non-GAAP metric used by investors to identify revenue after commodity costs used to generate revenue where revenue generally is increased or decreased in response to increases or decreases in the cost of the commodity to produce that revenue. APUC uses net energy sales to assess its revenues without the effects of fluctuating commodity costs as such costs are predominantly passed through either directly or indirectly in the revenue that is charged. APUC believes that analysis and presentation of net energy sales on this basis will enhance an investor’s understanding of the revenue generation of its businesses. It is not intended to be representative of revenue as determined in accordance with GAAP. Net utility sales Net utility sales is a non-GAAP metric used by investors to identify utility revenue after commodity costs, either natural gas or electricity, where these commodities are generally included as a pass through in rates to its utility customers. APUC uses net utility sales to assess its utility revenues without the effects of fluctuating commodity costs as such costs are predominantly passed through and paid for by the utility customer. APUC believes that analysis and presentation of net utility sales on this basis will enhance an investor’s understanding of the revenue generation of its utility businesses. It is not intended to be representative of revenue as determined in accordance with GAAP. 4 Financial Summary Nine months ended September 30 2014 2013 $ Revenue 684.2 1 $ 470.0 Year ended December 31 2013 2012 $ 675.3 $ 348.8 206.2 159.6 226.9 88.1 96.3 70.5 98.9 63.0 140.6 107.1 153.5 66.8 from continuing operations 44.8 42.4 62.3 13.5 Net earnings attributable to Shareholders 44.1 7.1 20.3 14.5 Adjusted net earnings1 53.2 40.6 60.9 18.9 Dividends declared to Common 57.5 50.8 68.3 50.2 Adjusted EBITDA Cash provided by operating activities Adjusted funds from operations1 Net earnings attributable to shareholders Shareholders Per share Basic net earnings from continuing $ 0.18 $ 0.19 $ 0.28 $ 0.08 Basic net earnings $ 0.18 $ 0.02 $ 0.07 $ 0.09 Adjusted net earnings1,2 $ 0.22 $ 0.18 $ 0.27 $ 0.11 $ 0.18 $ 0.02 $ 0.07 $ 0.09 $ 0.46 $ 0.35 $ 0.48 $ 0.40 $ 0.64 $ 0.51 $ 0.72 $ 0.42 $ 0.27 $ 0.25 $ 0.33 $ 0.30 operations Diluted net earnings Cash provided by Operating Activities Adjusted funds from operations 1,2 Dividends declared to Shareholders Total Assets 2 $ 3,808.5 $ 3,156.4 $ 3,472.6 $ 2,779.0 1,413.5 1,092.0 1,255.6 770.8 3 Total Liabilities (includes current portion) 1 APUC uses adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net earnings and adjusted funds from operations to enhance assessment and understanding of the operating performance of APUC without the effects of certain accounting adjustments which are derived from a number of non-operating factors, accounting methods and assumptions.
