Key Takeaways

  • Adjusted EBITDA totaled $291 million, supported by strong gas segment performance (+$14 million YoY) and steady wind/solar results despite weak Alberta pricing.
  • Hydro segment EBITDA declined $39 million YoY, impacted by lower spot and hedge prices in Alberta and reduced emissions credit sales.
  • Energy Marketing EBITDA fell $16 million due to subdued market volatility and lower realized gains, though further gains are expected by year-end.
  • Free cash flow was $143 million ($0.47 per share), reflecting ongoing operational resilience but tempered by softer merchant market conditions.
  • Management reaffirmed full-year guidance but highlighted continued headwinds in Alberta merchant pricing and cautious outlook for near-term commodity environments.
