Emera Inc. ("Emera") (TSX/NYSE:EMA) reported 2026 second quarter financial results¹.

Highlights

Delivered Q2 2026 adjusted EPS² of $0.69 and reported EPS of $0.34.
Positioned to achieve 2026 adjusted EPS² growth above the annual target range of 5-7%³ and remain committed to 5-7% adjusted EPS² growth through 2030³.
Strengthened year-to-date operating cash flow⁴ by 8% versus the first six months of 2025.
Safely advanced more than $1.7B of customer-focused infrastructure investments in the first half of 2026, while remaining on track to execute $4B annual capital plan this year.

"Our second quarter results reflect disciplined execution across the business and continued solid progress on our long-term growth strategy," said Scott Balfour, President and CEO of Emera Inc. "During the first half of the year, we successfully concluded our portfolio optimization strategy with regulatory approval of the New Mexico Gas transaction and closing the sale of Grand Bahama Power Company. This further strengthens the company and sharpens our focus. Our utilities invested more than $1.7 billion on behalf of our customers in the same timeframe, supporting reliability, resiliency and growth across our jurisdictions. Looking ahead, our focused portfolio of high-quality regulated utilities positions Emera to continue delivering the reliable energy customers depend on, while creating long-term value for shareholders."

Q2 2026 Financial Results

Q2 2026 adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders ("adjusted net income")² was $212 million, or $0.69 per common share, compared to $236 million, or $0.79 per common share, in Q2 2025. The decrease was primarily due to increased interest expense and foreign exchange ("FX") losses at Corporate; decreased earnings at New Mexico Gas Company ("NMGC"); and lower earnings due to the sale of Grand Bahama Power Company ("GBPC").

Q2 2026 reported net income was $105 million, or $0.34 per common share, compared to net income of $135 million, or $0.45 per common share, in Q2 2025. Reported income also included a $59 million increase in mark-to-market ("MTM") losses, after-tax, and the $19 million loss on sale of GBPC, after tax and transaction costs, partially offset by the $72 million charges related to the pending sale of NMGC recognized in Q2 2025.

2026 YTD Financial Results

Year-to-date adjusted net income¹ was $627 million or $2.06 per common share, compared with $615 million or $2.07 per common share year-to-date in 2025. Year-to-date adjusted net income¹ increased $12 million primarily due to increased earnings at PGS, EES and TEC, higher equity earnings at Bear Swamp and higher income tax recovery at Corporate. These were partially offset by increased interest expense and higher operating, maintenance and general ("OM&G") expenses at Corporate; lower earnings at NSPI and NMGC; and lower earnings due to the sale of GBPC.

Year-to-date reported net income was $667 million or $2.19 per common share, compared with net income of $718 million or $2.41 per common share, year-to-date in 2025. Year-to-date reported net income also included a $116 million decrease in MTM gain, after-tax, and the $19 million loss on sale of GBPC, partially offset by the $72 million charges related to the pending sale of NMGC recognized in Q2 2025.

The translation impacts of a stronger CAD on USD denominated earnings decreased net income attributable to common shareholders by $13 million in Q2 2026 and $43 million year-to-date compared to the same periods in 2025. In Q2 2026, the impact of the change in FX rates on adjusted net income was nil. Year-to-date, strengthening of the CAD decreased adjusted net income by $17 million, compared to the same period in 2025. These impacts include the effect of the FX hedges used to mitigate translation risk of USD earnings, which are included in Corporate in the Other segment.

millions of dollars	June 30			June 30
Adjusted net income – 2025^1,2	$	236		$	615
Operating Unit Performance
Increased earnings at PGS due to higher revenue from new base rates and higher off-system sales, partially offset by higher OM&G and depreciation		15			33
Increased equity earnings at Bear Swamp due to business interruption insurance received related to an unplanned outage in 2025 and higher generation		19			23
Increased earnings year-over-year at TEC due to higher revenue from new base rates and higher off-system sales, partially offset by higher depreciation, increased state and municipal taxes, higher interest expense and the impact of a stronger CAD		1			17
Decreased earnings year-over-year at NSPI due to lower income tax recovery as a result of higher clean technology investment tax credits in 2025 ($18 million), higher OM&G and higher depreciation expense. These were partially offset by higher sales volumes		-			(36	)
Decreased earnings due to the sale of GBPC in May 2026		(7	)		(7	)
Decreased earnings quarter-over-quarter at EES due to timing of hedge settlements related to storage positions and higher transport costs.

Decreased earnings at NMGC primarily due to higher OM&G		(12	)		(12	)
Corporate
Increased income tax recovery quarter-over-quarter primarily due to an increased loss before provision for income taxes, partially offset by an unfavourable deferred income tax asset valuation adjustment. Increased income tax recovery year-over-year due to an increased loss before provision for income taxes		3			9
Increase OM&G, pre-tax, primarily due to lower gain on the long-term incentive hedge and increased costs as a result of New York Stock Exchange listing		(1	)		(13	)
Increased Corporate FX losses on the translation of USD short-term debt balances. Year-over-year is partially offset by a decreased realized loss on FX hedges		(9	)		(4	)
