Extension of Average Adjusted EPS¹ Growth Target

Emera is extending its average adjusted EPS² growth target of 5-7%³ through 2030. This decision highlights the company’s commitment to driving long-term shareholder value, including through focused investments in the robust and high growth jurisdictions in which it operates.

2025 Financial Results

2025 adjusted net income² was $1.045 billion, or $3.49 per common share, compared with $849 million, or $2.94 per common share in 2024. The increase in 2025 adjusted net income² was primarily due to increased earnings at Tampa Electric (“TEC”), Emera Energy Services (“EES”) and New Mexico Gas Company (“NMGC”). These were partially offset by the impact of the sale of Emera’s interest in the Labrador Island Link (“LIL”) which contributing earnings in early 2024 before its sale, lower earnings at Nova Scotia Power (“NSPI”) and higher Corporate costs.

2025 reported net income was $1.014 billion, or $3.39 per common share, compared with a reported net income of $494 million, or $1.71 per common share in 2024. The increase in 2025 reported net income included a $41 million mark-to-market (“MTM”) gain, after-tax, compared to a $291 million MTM loss, after-tax in 2024, and $72 million in charges related to the pending sale of NMGC, after-tax. Reported net income for 2024 included a $129 million gain, after tax and transaction costs, on the sale of Emera’s equity interest in LIL, a $58 million tax benefit related to a specific financing structure and its wind-up, $225 million in charges to goodwill related to the pending sale of NMGC, after-tax and $26 million in charges related to wind-down costs and certain asset impairments after-tax.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the impact of a weaker CAD on US denominated earnings increased adjusted net income² by $13 million and increased reported net income by $49 million, compared to the same period in 2024. Impacts of the changes in the translation of the CAD include the impacts of Corporate FX hedges used to mitigate translation risk of USD earnings in the Other segment.

Q4 2025 Financial Results

Q4 2025 adjusted net income² was $167 million, or $0.55 per common share, compared to $246 million, or $0.84 per common share, in Q4 2024. The decrease was primarily due to decreased earnings at NSPI and NMGC, reduced tax recoveries, and unfavourable weather at Tampa Electric, partially offset by increased earnings at EES.

Q4 2025 reported net income was $68 million, or $0.23 per common share, compared to net income of $154 million, or $0.52 per common share, in Q4 2024, primarily due to lower adjusted net income as described above, partially offset by a $47 million decrease in MTM losses, after-tax. Q4 2024 reported net income also included a $58 million tax benefit related to a specific financing structure and its wind-up and a $22 million tax benefit related to the incremental gain on sale of LIL, partially offset by $26 million in charges related to wind-down costs and certain asset impairments.

In Q4 2025 the translation impact of a stronger CAD on USD denominated earnings decreased adjusted net income² by $3 million and decreased reported net income by $3 million, compared to the same period in 2024.
