TEP, or the Company, is including the following cautionary statements to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any forward-looking statements made by TEP in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future economic conditions, future operational or financial performance and underlying assumptions, and other statements that are not statements of historical facts. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words or phrases that include "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "continues," "assumes," "aspires," "may," "plans," "predicts," "projects," "would," "could," "forecast," "target," "goal," "potential," "commitment," "strategy," "will," and similar expressions. From time to time, we may publish or otherwise make available forward-looking statements of this nature. All such forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, and whether made by or on behalf of TEP, are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements and any other cautionary statements which may accompany such forward-looking statements. In addition, TEP disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report, except as may otherwise be required by the federal securities laws.

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed herein. We express our estimates, expectations, beliefs, aspirations, and projections in good faith and believe them to have a reasonable basis. However, we make no assurances that management's estimates, expectations, beliefs, aspirations, or projections will be achieved or accomplished. We have identified the following important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in our forward-looking statements. These may be in addition to other factors and matters discussed in: Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K; Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; Part I, Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; and other parts of this report. These factors include: voter initiatives and federal, state, and local regulatory and legislative decisions and actions, including changes in tax, tariff, and energy policies (including, among other things, data center energy use, efficiency standards, and sources of power), as they may be affected by the policies and priorities of governmental officials at the federal, state, and local levels; the outcome of the November 2026 general election vote on our new franchise agreement with the City of Tucson; any change in the structure of utility service in Arizona resulting from the ACC or state legislature's examination of the state's energy policies or the City of Tucson's study of municipalization; changes in, and compliance with, environmental laws and regulatory decisions and policies that could increase operating and capital costs, reduce generation facility output, or accelerate generation facility retirements; unfavorable rulings, penalties, or findings by the FERC; regional economic and market conditions that could affect customer growth and electricity usage; potential changes in the benefits of participation in the Western Energy Imbalance Market and Markets+; changes in electricity consumption by retail customers; risks related to climate change, including shifts in weather seasonality, extreme weather events, and their increasing frequency and severity, and wildfires, affecting electricity usage of our customers, operational performance, and operating and capital costs to ensure system reliability; our forecasts of peak demand and whether existing generation capacity and PPAs are sufficient to meet the demand plus reserve margin requirements; our ability to implement successfully our business strategies, including any impediments to implementing such strategies arising from state or local opposition, and meet the growing demand for electricity, particularly in view of potential for new large customer requirements; the ability and willingness of our large customer counterparties, including counterparties to data center ESAs, to satisfy their financial and performance commitments; the cost of debt and equity capital and access to capital markets and bank markets during extended periods of volatility, which may affect our ability to raise additional capital and to use the proceeds from any capital that we do raise as originally intended; the performance of the stock market and changes in interest rates, which affect the value of our pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets and related contribution requirements and expenses; our ability to manage timelines and budgets and to access necessary materials and labor, in each case, related to capital projects, including EPC agreements to develop standalone BESS, and/or to obtain the anticipated performance or other benefits of such capital projects; the potential inability to make additions to our existing high voltage transmission system; unexpected increases in operations and maintenance expense, including increases due to inflationary pressures, tariffs, international trade policy, heightened geopolitical instability, and/or global supply chain challenges; resolution of pending litigation matters; changes in accounting standards; changes in our critical accounting estimates; the ongoing impact of mandated energy efficiency and DG initiatives and the potential repeal of such mandates; our ability to meet our aspirational goal related to reducing carbon emissions by 2050 due to load growth required by potential new large customers, and the potential impact on our financial condition; our ability to exit all ownership interests in coal-fired generation by 2032; changes to long-term contracts; the cost of fuel and power supplies; fluctuations or increases in commodity prices; the ability to obtain coal or natural gas from our suppliers; the timing and cost of generation facility decommissioning and mine reclamation activities; cyber-attacks, data breaches, or other cyberspace attacks to our information security and our operations and technology infrastructure, including attacks that may arise from heightened geopolitical instability or due to the evolution of AI or otherwise, as well as additional exposure to data breaches, algorithmic bias and legal liability resulting from

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**<u>NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION</u>**

TEP is a regulated utility that generates, transmits, and distributes electricity to approximately 458,000 retail customers in a 1,155 square mile area in southeastern Arizona. TEP also sells electricity to other utilities and power marketing entities, located primarily in the Western United States. TEP is a wholly-owned subsidiary of UNS Energy, a utility services holding company. UNS Energy is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Fortis.

**BASIS OF PRESENTATION**

TEP's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures are presented in accordance with GAAP, including specific accounting guidance for regulated operations and the SEC's interim reporting requirements.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of TEP and its subsidiaries. In the consolidation process, accounts of TEP and its subsidiaries are combined, and intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. TEP jointly owns several generation facilities and transmission systems with both affiliated and non-affiliated entities. TEP records its proportionate share of: (i) jointly-owned facilities in Utility Plant on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; and (ii) operating costs associated with these facilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements exclude some information and footnotes required by GAAP and the SEC for annual financial statement reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes in TEP's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited, but, in management's opinion, include all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Because weather and other factors cause seasonal fluctuations in sales, TEP's quarterly operating results are not indicative of annual operating results. To conform with the current period presentation, TEP combined four prior period Operating Expense line items: (i) Fuel; (ii) Purchased Power; (iii) Transmission and Other PPFAC Recoverable Costs; and (iv) Increase (Decrease) to Reflect PPFAC Recovery Treatment, into a single line item titled Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Additionally, TEP has reclassified Income Taxes Receivable/Payable in the prior period from a separately disclosed line into Other, Net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform with the current period presentation. Both the change in presentation and reclassification had no impact on TEP's results of operation, financial position, or cash flows.

**Variable Interest Entities**

A VIE is an entity in which equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity investment at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. TEP regularly reviews contracts to determine if it has a variable interest in an entity, if that entity is a VIE, and if TEP is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE when it has: (i) the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

TEP has entered into long-term renewable PPAs with various entities. Some of these entities are VIEs due to the long-term fixed price component in the agreements. These PPAs effectively transfer commodity price risk to TEP, the buyer of the power, creating a variable interest. TEP has determined it is not a primary beneficiary of these VIEs as it lacks the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs. TEP regularly evaluates its primary beneficiary conclusions to determine if changes have occurred that impact its VIE assessment.

As of March 31, 2026, the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet that relate to variable interests under long-term renewable PPAs are predominantly related to working capital accounts and generally represent the amounts owed by TEP for the deliveries associated with the current billing cycle. TEP's maximum exposure to loss is limited to the cost of replacing the power if the providers do not meet the production guarantee. However, the exposure to loss is mitigated as the Company would likely recover these costs through cost recovery mechanisms. See Note 2 for additional information related to cost recovery mechanisms.

**REPORTABLE SEGMENTS**

TEP's principal business operations include generating, transmitting, and distributing electricity to its retail customers. In addition to retail sales, TEP sells electricity, transmission, and ancillary services to other utilities, municipalities, and energy marketing companies on a wholesale basis. TEP has one operating segment, its regulated utility operations. TEP's CODM is Susan M. Gray who holds the position of Chief Executive Officer of TEP and its parent company, UNS Energy. The CODM uses net income to assess performance and decide how to allocate resources for UNS Energy overall (including employees and

financial or capital resources) predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. Net income is reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Operations and Maintenance expense includes expenses reimbursed by third-parties and expenses related to customer-funded RES and DSM programs. Operations and Maintenance expense excluding these reimbursable and customer funded expenses totaled $92 million and $82 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Total assets, the measure of segment assets, is reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Capital expenditures are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

**RESTRICTED CASH**

Restricted cash includes cash balances restricted with respect to withdrawal or usage based on contractual or regulatory considerations. The following table presents the line items and amounts of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported in the balance sheet and reconciles their sum to Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash, End of Period on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Current Assets—Other | 9 | 9 |
| **Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash, End of Period** | $39 | $221 |

---

Restricted cash primarily represents cash contractually required to be set aside to pay TEP's share of final mine reclamation and decommissioning costs at San Juan.

**INCOME TAXES**

**Production Tax Credits**

TEP realized PTC benefits associated with Oso Grande of $2 million and $4 million in Income Tax Expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

**Investment Tax Credits**

In March 2026, TEP entered into an agreement to transfer ITCs related to Roadrunner Reserve II in the second half of 2026. In connection with ITCs expected to be generated by the Roadrunner Reserve II project, TEP recorded a $10 million deferred tax asset in Deferred Income Taxes, Net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2026, with a corresponding regulatory liability in Regulatory Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to reflect the anticipated return of benefits to customers. As of March 31, 2026, TEP recorded a $1 million valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset reflecting the expected discount in proceeds from a third-party sale.

Roadrunner Reserve I was placed in service in July 2025 and generated $98 million of ITCs. In December 2025, TEP entered into an agreement to transfer ITCs, under which it transferred $49 million of ITCs and received $46 million in cash proceeds. On April 9, 2026, TEP transferred the remaining $49 million of ITCs related to Roadrunner Reserve I and received $46 million in cash proceeds.

**NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED AND NOT YET ADOPTED**

**Standards Recently Issued by the FASB**

The following new authoritative accounting guidance issued by the FASB has not yet been adopted and reflected in TEP's financial statements. TEP is assessing the impact such guidance may have on TEP's financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and disclosures.

<u>Government Grants</u>

In December 2025, the FASB issued accounting guidance that establishes recognition, measurement, and presentation requirements for government grants for business entities. The update applies to transfers of monetary or tangible nonmonetary assets from a government to a business entity, excluding certain transaction types such as tax incentives. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of a government grant is dependent on the classification of the grant as either related to an asset or related to income. Grants cannot be recognized until it is probable that the entity will comply with the conditions attached to

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i1bcac9191d1048e9bc97ff8b7dea0026_7)</u>

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)**

the grant and that the grant will be received. The amendments are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2029, for public business entities. The guidance may be applied using a modified prospective, modified retrospective, or full retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted.

<u>Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software</u>

In September 2025, the FASB issued accounting guidance that updates the recognition criteria for internal-use software. The update removes references to software development project stages and requires capitalization of software costs once: (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the project; and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will perform its intended function. Evaluating the probability that the project will be completed includes an assessment of whether significant development uncertainty exists. The amendment requires entities to apply the disclosure requirements applicable to property, plant, and equipment to all capitalized internal-use software costs, irrespective of financial statement presentation. The amendments are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2028. The guidance may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified transition approach. Early adoption is permitted.

<u>Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses</u>

In November 2024, the FASB issued accounting guidance that requires disaggregation of income statement expenses into specified categories in the footnotes to the financial statements. In January 2025, the FASB issued accounting guidance clarifying the effective date of this standard. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2027, and interim reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2028. The guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted.

**SEC Climate-Related Disclosures**

The following final SEC rules regarding climate-related disclosures are pending further action by the SEC.

In March 2024, the SEC issued final rules requiring the disclosure of climate-related risks and greenhouse gas emissions, which were subsequently stayed pending judicial review. In September 2025, the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit paused its consideration of legal challenges against the rules, pending further action by the SEC. TEP awaits the SEC's decision whether it will defend, amend, or withdraw the rules, the timing of which TEP cannot currently predict.

**<u>NOTE 2. REGULATORY MATTERS</u>**

The ACC and the FERC each regulate portions of the utility accounting practices and rates of TEP. The ACC regulates rates charged to retail customers, the siting of generation facilities and transmission systems, the issuance of securities, transactions with affiliated parties, and other utility matters. The ACC also enacts other regulations and policies that can affect the Company's business decisions. The FERC regulates rates and services for electric transmission and wholesale power sales in interstate commerce.

**RATE CASE MATTERS**

**2025 Rate Case**

In June 2025, TEP filed a general rate case with the ACC based on a test year ended December 31, 2024.

TEP's key 2025 Rate Case proposals, adjusted for rejoinder testimony filed on April 13, 2026, include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a $159 million net increase in retail revenues comprised of the following components:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ a non-fuel retail revenue increase of $205 million over test year non-fuel retail revenues,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ a $26 million decrease in fuel-related retail revenues, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ if a new proposed ARAM is approved, elimination of certain existing adjustor mechanisms, including the ECA, TEAM, and LFCR mechanism, that results in a $20 million reduction in revenues collected from customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 7.73% return on original cost rate base of $4.3 billion, which includes a return on equity of 10.50% and an average cost of debt of 4.28%;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i1bcac9191d1048e9bc97ff8b7dea0026_7)</u>

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a capital structure for ratemaking purposes of approximately 55% common equity and 45% long-term debt;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a new ARAM that is a formula rate adjustor designed to update rates annually based on historical changes in TEP's revenue requirement. The proposed ARAM includes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ an earnings test with a deadband of plus or minus 20 basis points around the allowed return; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ if the proposed ARAM is not approved, a new SRB mechanism, which would help recover investments in significant generation resources, and a new LIRA, which would allow TEP to recover or refund differences between actual limited income tariff costs and the costs included in base rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the continuation of the DSM surcharge at current approved rates, following the removal of the CEM framework from the initial rate case filing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an accounting order to defer for future recovery certain incurred costs associated with owning, operating and maintaining Roadrunner Reserve II, offset by future benefits associated with investment tax credits.

TEP requested new rates to be implemented by September 1, 2026. TEP cannot predict the timing or outcome of this proceeding.

**COST RECOVERY MECHANISMS**

TEP has received regulatory decisions that allow for timely recovery of certain costs through recovery mechanisms. The difference between costs recovered through rates and actual costs is deferred. TEP defers over-recovered costs as a regulatory liability to return to customers and defers under-recovered costs as a regulatory asset to recover from customers in the future. Cost recovery mechanisms that have a material impact on TEP's operations or financial results are described below.

**Purchased Power and Fuel Adjustment Clause**

TEP's PPFAC rate is adjusted annually on April 1st and goes into effect for the subsequent 12-month period unless the schedule is modified by the ACC. The PPFAC rate includes: (i) a forward component which is calculated by taking the difference between forecasted fuel and purchased power costs and the amount of those costs established in Customer Rates; and (ii) a true-up component that allows for reconciliation of differences between actual costs and those recovered in the preceding period.

The table below summarizes the PPFAC regulatory asset (liability) balance:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** |
| (in millions) | **2026** | **2025** |
| **Beginning of Period** | $(32) | $(49) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Deferred Fuel and Purchased Power Costs <sup>(1)</sup> | 68 | 61 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PPFAC and Base Power Recoveries | (52) | (60) |
| **End of Period** | $(16) | $(48) |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup>Includes costs eligible for recovery through the PPFAC and base power rates.

**Transmission Cost Adjustor**

The TCA allows for timely recovery or refund of actual costs, net of applicable credits, required to provide transmission services to retail customers. TEP files new TCA rates with the ACC in December each year based on changes in net costs required to provide transmission services to retail customers. New TCA rates take effect in January of each year.

**Renewable Energy Standard**

The ACC's RES required Arizona regulated electric utilities to increase their use of renewable energy each year until it represented at least 15% of their total annual retail energy sales by the end of 2025. Consistent with prior years, TEP met these requirements through a combination of utility-owned resources, PPAs, and customer-sited DG. TEP recovers approved costs of meeting the requirements from retail customers through a RES tariff.

In May 2024, the ACC approved an extension of TEP's 2021 RES implementation plan with a budget of $66 million until further order of the ACC and an increase to the RES tariff to recover under-collected RES funds totaling $17 million. The ACC also waived for TEP the general requirement that Arizona utilities file an annual RES implementation plan. The approved amount funds: (i) above market cost for renewable power purchases under agreements that were operational when the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i1bcac9191d1048e9bc97ff8b7dea0026_7)</u>

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)**

implementation plans were filed; (ii) previously awarded incentives for customer-installed DG; and (iii) various other program costs.

In March 2026, the ACC issued an order repealing the RES. The Arizona Attorney General received the order on April 2, 2026, and has 60 days to review the order and submit the final repeal to the Secretary of State of Arizona. TEP anticipates the repeal will become effective 60 days after receipt by the Secretary of State of Arizona. Until otherwise ordered, TEP will continue to operate under its existing RES implementation plan. TEP is continuing to evaluate the potential impacts of this order on its regulatory obligations and financial position.

**Energy Efficiency Standards**

TEP is required to implement cost-effective DSM programs to comply with the ACC's EE Standards. The EE Standards provide regulated utilities a DSM surcharge to recover from retail customers the costs of implementing DSM programs, as well as an annual performance incentive. TEP records its annual DSM performance incentive for the prior calendar year in the first quarter of each year.

In the 2023 Rate Order, the ACC approved a 2023 energy efficiency implementation plan with a cumulative three-year budget of $72 million, which is collected through the DSM surcharge.

In October 2025, a NOPR recommending the repeal of the EE Standards was published in the Arizona Administrative Register. TEP is unable to predict the timing or outcome of this rulemaking proceeding.

**Lost Fixed Cost Recovery Mechanism**

The LFCR mechanism provides for recovery of certain non-fuel costs that would go unrecovered between rate cases due to reduced retail kWh sales as a result of implementing ACC-approved energy efficiency programs and customer-installed DG. The LFCR mechanism is adjusted in each rate case when the ACC approves new base rates. TEP records a regulatory asset and recognizes LFCR revenues based on an estimate of lost retail kWh sales during the period. TEP is required to make an annual filing with the ACC requesting recovery of LFCR revenues recognized in the prior year. The recovery is subject to a year-over-year increase cap of 2% of TEP's applicable retail revenues.

**<u>NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES</u>**

**COMMITMENTS**

There have been no significant changes to TEP's long-term commitments since December 31, 2025, except as noted below.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i1bcac9191d1048e9bc97ff8b7dea0026_7)</u>

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)**

**Purchase Commitments**

<u>Renewable Power Purchase Agreements</u>

In March 2026, a renewable PPA facility with 160 MW of solar capacity was placed in service. On April 3, 2026, an additional facility with 100 MW of solar capacity and 100 MW of battery storage (400 MWh of energy capacity) was placed in service.

**CONTINGENCIES**

**Legal Matters**

TEP is involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters include, from time to time, claims for punitive or exemplary damages. Based on currently available information, TEP does not believe that the outcome of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on TEP's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

**Mine Reclamation at Generation Facilities Not Operated by TEP**

TEP pays ongoing mine reclamation costs for coal mines that supply generation facilities where TEP holds an ownership interest but is not the operator. The estimated liability for final mine reclamation depends on assumptions, such as projected costs, timing, and inflation. When these assumptions change, TEP adjusts future expense recognition over the remaining term of the applicable coal supply agreement. TEP's PPFAC allows the pass-through of final mine reclamation costs to retail customers as part of fuel costs. Therefore, TEP defers these expenses by recording a regulatory asset and a reclamation liability over the remaining life of the respective coal supply agreement. TEP recovers the regulatory asset through the PPFAC as final mine reclamation costs are funded. After expiration of the related coal supply agreement, any changes in the estimated liability are recorded to both the regulatory asset and reclamation liability.

TEP is responsible for a portion of final mine reclamation costs for the mines at Four Corners and San Juan. TEP's liability related to Four Corners totaled $2 million and $3 million as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively, and was recorded in Current Liabilities—Other and Other Noncurrent Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. TEP's Four Corners coal supply agreement expires in 2031.

TEP ceased operations at San Juan in 2022 following expiration of its coal supply agreement. TEP's remaining final mine reclamation liability at San Juan was $21 million and $23 million as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively, and was recorded in Current Liabilities—Other and Other Noncurrent Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. TEP established a trust to fund its share of estimated final mine reclamation costs at San Juan that will remain in effect until reclamation activities are completed, which are currently projected to be completed in 2040. See Note 1 for additional information on restricted cash related to reclamation and decommissioning costs at San Juan.

**Performance Guarantees**

TEP participates in joint generation agreements at Four Corners and Luna, which expire in 2041 and 2046, respectively. Under these agreements, all participants, including TEP, guarantee certain performance obligations. If a participant defaults on payment, the non-defaulting participants must cover a proportionate share of expenses otherwise payable by the defaulting participant. In return, the non-defaulting participants are entitled to receive a proportionate share of the defaulting participant's generation capacity. For Luna, there is no maximum potential payment under this guarantee. For Four Corners, the maximum potential payment for non-defaulting participants is $250 million. As of March 31, 2026, no payment defaults have occurred under either agreement.

The Navajo and San Juan participation agreements expired in 2019 and 2022, respectively, but certain performance obligations continue through the decommissioning of both generation facilities. In the case of a default on these continuing obligations, the non-defaulting participants are entitled to seek financial recovery directly from the defaulting party.

**Environmental Matters**

TEP operates under federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations covering air and water quality, renewable portfolio standards, emissions performance, climate change, coal combustion byproduct disposal, hazardous and solid waste disposal, protected species, and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact TEP's current and future operations. These requirements are subject to interpretation and may be clarified by court decisions. Because these laws and regulations continue to evolve, TEP is unable to predict the impact of the changing laws and regulations on its operations or consolidated financial results. TEP expects to recover environmental compliance costs through customer rates. TEP believes it is in material compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations.

As of May 5, 2026, TEP had $7 million of cash posted as collateral to provide credit enhancement.

**DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS**

TEP enters into various derivative and non-derivative contracts to reduce exposure to energy price risk associated with its natural gas and purchased power requirements. The objectives for entering into such contracts include: (i) creating price stability; (ii) meeting load and reserve requirements; and (iii) reducing exposure to price volatility that may result from delayed recovery under the PPFAC mechanism. In addition, TEP enters into derivative and non-derivative contracts to optimize the system's generation resources by selling power in the wholesale market for the benefit of TEP's retail customers.

TEP primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements. When TEP has observable inputs for substantially the full term of the asset or liability or uses quoted prices in an inactive market, it categorizes the instrument in Level 2. TEP categorizes derivatives in Level 3 when an aggregate pricing service or published prices that represent a consensus reporting of multiple brokers is used.

For both purchased power and natural gas prices, TEP obtains quotes from brokers, major market participants, exchanges, or industry publications and relies on its own price experience from active transactions in the market. TEP primarily uses one set of quotations each for purchased power and natural gas and then validates those prices using other sources. TEP believes that the market information provided is reflective of market conditions as of the time and date indicated.

Published prices for energy derivative contracts may not be available due to the nature of contract delivery terms such as non-standard time blocks and non-standard delivery points. In these cases, TEP applies adjustments based on historical price curve relationships, transmission costs, and real power line losses.

TEP also considers the impact of counterparty credit risk using current and historical default and recovery rates, as well as its own credit risk using credit default swap data.

The inputs and TEP's assessments of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements require judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. TEP evaluates the assumptions underlying its price curves monthly.

**Energy Derivative Contracts, Regulatory Recovery**

TEP enters into energy contracts that are considered derivatives and qualify for regulatory recovery. The realized gains and losses on these energy contracts are recovered through the PPFAC mechanism and the unrealized gains and losses are deferred as a regulatory asset or liability. The table below presents the unrealized gains and losses recorded to a regulatory asset or liability in the balance sheet:

| Unrealized Net Gain (Loss) | $(31) | $(3) |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup>Unrealized net loss on regulatory recoverable derivative contracts primarily resulted from declining forward natural gas prices.

**Energy Derivative Contracts, No Regulatory Recovery**

TEP enters into certain energy contracts that are considered derivatives but do not qualify for regulatory recovery. The Company records unrealized gains and losses for these contracts in the income statement unless a normal purchase or normal sale election is made. For contracts that meet the trading definition in the PPFAC plan of administration, TEP must share 10% of any realized gains with retail customers through the PPFAC mechanism. The table below presents amounts recorded in Operating Revenues on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income:

**Derivative Volumes**

As of March 31, 2026, TEP had energy contracts that will settle on various expiration dates through 2029. The following table presents volumes associated with the energy contracts:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31, 2026** | **December 31, 2025** |
| Power Contracts GWh | 5,865 | 1,430 |
| Gas Contracts BBtu | 71,477 | 72,959 |

---

**CREDIT RISK**

The use of contractual arrangements to manage the risks associated with changes in energy commodity prices creates credit risk exposure resulting from the possibility of non-performance by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. TEP enters into contracts for the physical delivery of power and natural gas which contain remedies in the event of non-performance by the supply counterparties. In addition, volatile energy prices can create significant credit exposure from energy market receivables and subsequent measurements at fair value.

TEP has contractual agreements for energy procurement and hedging activities that contain provisions requiring TEP and its counterparties to post collateral under certain circumstances. These circumstances include: (i) exposures in excess of unsecured credit limits due to the volume of trading activity; (ii) changes in natural gas or power prices; (iii) credit rating downgrades; or (iv) unfavorable changes in parties' assessments of each other's credit strength. If such credit events were to occur, TEP, or its counterparties, could have to provide certain credit enhancements in the form of cash, LOCs, or other acceptable security to collateralize exposure beyond the allowed amounts.

TEP considers the effect of counterparty credit risk in determining the fair value of derivative instruments that are in a net asset position, after incorporating collateral posted by counterparties, and then allocates the credit risk adjustment to individual contracts. TEP also considers the impact of its credit risk on instruments that are in a net liability position, after considering the collateral posted, and then allocates the credit risk adjustment to individual contracts.

The fair value of all derivative instruments in net liability positions under contracts with credit risk-related contingent features, including contracts under the normal purchase normal sale exception, was $54 million as of March 31, 2026, compared with $31 million as of December 31, 2025. TEP had no cash posted as collateral to provide credit enhancement as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025. TEP would have been required to post $54 million and $31 million of collateral if the credit risk contingent features had been triggered on March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. TEP had $13 million and $16 million in outstanding net payable balances for settled positions as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively.

**OUTLOOK AND STRATEGIES**

Our financial performance and outlook are affected by many factors, including: (i) global, national, regional, and local economic conditions; (ii) volatility in the financial markets; (iii) environmental laws, regulations, and policies; and (iv) other regulatory and legislative actions, and changes in governmental policies, programs, and priorities, such as energy policy, as well as their impact on the factors listed above. Our plans and strategies include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Maintaining affordable rates and reliable service for our customers while promoting economic development within our service territory to enable prosperity in the communities we serve.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Achieving constructive outcomes in our regulatory proceedings that will provide us more timely cost recovery and an opportunity to earn an appropriate return on our rate base investments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continuing our transition to a less carbon-intensive energy portfolio while complying with regulatory requirements and maintaining financial strength. We have established an aspirational goal of net zero direct GHG emissions by 2050 emphasizing our commitment to decarbonize while preserving customer reliability and affordability. While we still intend to exit all ownership interests in coal-fired generation by 2032, we are reevaluating our interim goal which aimed to reduce carbon emissions by 80% (compared to 2005) by 2035. Our ability to achieve these goals could be impacted by various federal and state energy policies, significant load growth, and the pace of clean-energy technology development.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Focusing on our core utility business through operational excellence, investing in infrastructure to ensure reliable service, and maintaining a strong community presence.

**Performance - The first three months of 2026 compared with the first three months of 2025** 

We reported net income of $27 million in the first three months of 2026 compared with net income of $44 million in the first three months of 2025. The decrease of $17 million, or 39%, was primarily due to (net of tax):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $10 million in higher base operations and maintenance expenses primarily due to an increase in planned generation maintenance, including timing associated with the concentration of these costs in the first three months of 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, and higher employee wages expenses;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i1bcac9191d1048e9bc97ff8b7dea0026_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $8 million in lower margin from wholesale transactions primarily due to unfavorable market conditions resulting in a decrease in revenues from wholesale trading as defined in the PPFAC plan of administration;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $3 million in lower margin from retail revenue primarily due to milder temperatures and lower LFCR revenue; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $3 million in higher depreciation expense primarily due to an increase in asset base.

The decrease was partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $3 million in lower income tax expense due to higher amortization of ITCs and a valuation allowance recorded in 2025 that did not recur in 2026; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $2 million in higher margin from transmission revenue due to an increase in our transmission revenue requirement due to a higher rate base.

**FACTORS AFFECTING RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

The most significant factors affecting our current and future results of operations include regulatory matters, generation resource strategy, and sales growth and seasonality.

**Regulatory Matters**

We are subject to comprehensive regulation. The following discussion describes material regulatory developments, market participation initiatives, and government actions that affect our business.

<u>2025 Rate Case</u>

In June 2025, we filed a general rate case with the ACC based on a test year ended December 31, 2024.

Our key 2025 Rate Case proposals, adjusted for rejoinder testimony filed on April 13, 2026, include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a $159 million net increase in retail revenues comprised of the following components:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ a non-fuel retail revenue increase of $205 million over test year non-fuel retail revenues,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ a $26 million decrease in fuel-related retail revenues, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ if a new proposed ARAM is approved, elimination of certain existing adjustor mechanisms, including the ECA, TEAM, and LFCR mechanism, that results in a $20 million reduction in revenues collected from customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 7.73% return on original cost rate base of $4.3 billion, which includes a return on equity of 10.50% and an average cost of debt of 4.28%;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a capital structure for ratemaking purposes of approximately 55% common equity and 45% long-term debt;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a new ARAM that is a formula rate adjustor designed to update rates annually based on historical changes in our revenue requirement. The proposed ARAM includes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ an earnings test with a deadband of plus or minus 20 basis points around the allowed return; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ if the proposed ARAM is not approved, a new SRB mechanism, which would help recover investments in significant generation resources, and a new LIRA, which would allow us to recover or refund differences between actual limited income tariff costs and the costs included in base rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the continuation of the DSM surcharge at current approved rates, following the removal of the CEM framework from the initial rate case filing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an accounting order to defer for future recovery certain incurred costs associated with owning, operating and maintaining Roadrunner Reserve II, offset by future benefits associated with investment tax credits.

We requested new rates to be implemented by September 1, 2026. We cannot predict the timing or outcome of this proceeding.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i1bcac9191d1048e9bc97ff8b7dea0026_7)</u>

<u>Roadrunner Reserve I Accounting Order</u>

In April 2025, the ACC issued an accounting order allowing us to defer for future recovery in the 2025 Rate Case certain incurred costs associated with owning, operating, and maintaining Roadrunner Reserve I, including depreciation and amortization, property taxes, operations and maintenance expense, interest expense, and ITC transaction costs. These costs will be partially offset by benefits associated with ITCs.

<u>ACC Formula Rate Plan Policy</u>

In December 2024, the ACC adopted a formula rate policy statement that provides a framework for regulated utilities to propose a formula rate plan in future rate cases. A formula rate plan, if approved by the ACC, would adjust rates annually based on a predetermined formula. Formula rate plans are expected to improve rate stability for customers, while also reducing regulatory lag and related costs, as well as reducing the reliance on and number of adjustor mechanisms. The RUCO has challenged the ACC's authority to implement this framework through a policy statement, and in November 2025, the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled that the RUCO may proceed with its challenge. We are unable to predict the timing or outcome of these regulatory and legal processes. The ACC has previously approved adjustor mechanisms, including formula-based mechanisms, in rate cases.

<u>Southwest Power Pool Markets+</u>

In November 2024, we and other Arizona utilities announced plans to join Southwest Power Pool Markets+, a day-ahead and real-time wholesale energy market, with anticipated participation as early as 2027. The FERC conditionally approved the Markets+ tariff in January 2025. In April 2025, the FERC accepted the funding agreement signed by us and other participating utilities to support the market's development and implementation. Our participation in Markets+ is expected to: (i) reduce our cost to serve customers; (ii) increase access to clean energy resources; and (iii) enhance system reliability.

<u>Renewable Energy and Electric Energy Efficiency Standards Repeal</u>

In January 2024, the ACC opened dockets to review the RES and EE Standards. The ACC's RES required Arizona regulated electric utilities to increase their use of renewable energy each year until it represented at least 15% of their total annual retail energy sales by the end of 2025, with a portion sourced from customer-sited DG. Under the EE Standards, the ACC requires electric utilities to implement cost-effective programs to reduce customers' energy consumption.

In October 2025, a NOPR recommending the repeal of the EE Standards was published in the Arizona Administrative Register. We are unable to predict the timing or outcome of this rulemaking proceeding.

In March 2026, the ACC issued an order repealing the RES. The Arizona Attorney General received the order on April 2, 2026, and has 60 days to review the order and submit the final repeal to the Secretary of State of Arizona. We anticipate the repeal will become effective 60 days after receipt by the Secretary of State of Arizona. Until otherwise ordered, we will continue to operate under our existing RES implementation plan. We are continuing to evaluate the potential impacts of this order on our regulatory obligations and financial position.

<u>City of Tucson Energy Sourcing Study</u>

The City of Tucson engaged a consulting and engineering firm to analyze alternatives to our provision of electric service, including a study of a potential municipal electric utility. An initial draft of the study, published in April 2025, suggested that a city-owned utility serving primarily Tucson customers could offer potential customer savings, but also noted that the City of Tucson would assume significant risks and incur substantial costs if it pursued municipalization. These costs would include purchasing property and plant at fair value and separating our remaining electrical grid from the City of Tucson.

In February 2026, The Brattle Group released an analysis commissioned by TEP concluding that the establishment of a municipal electric utility would be expected to result in higher energy costs for city residents and businesses.

In March 2026, the Tucson Mayor and City Council rejected a proposal that would have directed city staff to pursue the creation of a municipal electric utility. Instead, the Mayor and Council voted to direct the City's Commission on Climate, Energy, and Sustainability to engage with stakeholders and evaluate that potential option, along with other public power alternatives, to inform future policy considerations.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i1bcac9191d1048e9bc97ff8b7dea0026_7)</u>

<u>Energy Collaboration Agreement</u>

On April 7, 2026, the City of Tucson approved an energy collaboration agreement with us that establishes a framework for collaboration on energy reliability, affordability, clean energy, and community resilience. The agreement is contingent upon voter approval of a new franchise agreement at the November 3, 2026 general election. Both the energy collaboration agreement and franchise agreement have 25-year terms. Under the energy collaboration agreement, annual contributions will begin at $2 million and increase by 2% every year to support agreed-upon initiatives, with payments excluded from recovery through customer rates.

**Generation Resource Strategy**

Our long-term resource planning strategy is to continue our transition to a less carbon-intensive energy portfolio by expanding renewable energy, energy storage, and natural gas resources while planning to exit ownership interests in coal-fired generation by 2032. Our existing coal-fired generation fleet faces a number of uncertainties affecting the viability of continued operations, including changing state and federal law and energy policies, competition from other resources, fuel supply, and land lease contract extensions. Given these uncertainties and the need to economically replace such generation to support anticipated load identified in our 2023 IRP, we plan to convert Springerville Units 1 and 2 from coal-fired generation to natural gas-fired generation by 2030. This conversion will allow us to leverage existing infrastructure with the development of replacement energy sources while also furthering our goals of ending our use of coal-fired generation and supporting both customer affordability and reliability. We will seek regulatory recovery for any amounts that would not otherwise be recovered as a result of the conversion of Springerville Units 1 and 2 and our planned exit from Four Corners in 2031. In March 2026, the ACC approved an amendment to the facility's Certificate of Environmental Compatibility to permit the conversion of Springerville Units 1 and 2 from coal-fired to natural gas-fired generation. This regulatory approval advances our plans to extend the operational life of the units and support long-term system reliability.

In 2023, we filed our 2023 IRP with the ACC, which outlines our plan to expand our clean energy portfolio to support anticipated growth and maintain affordable, reliable service as we work towards an aspirational goal of net zero direct GHG emissions by 2050. In October 2024, the ACC acknowledged our 2023 IRP and found it to be reasonable and in the public interest. Our plan to convert Springerville Units 1 and 2 from coal-fired generation is expected to increase natural gas-fired generation compared to our 2023 IRP. The execution of our 2023 IRP is dependent on obtaining regulatory recovery in future rate proceedings.

In March 2026, we issued an ASRFP to solicit capacity and energy resources for the purpose of supporting growth opportunities.

Babacomari North was placed in service in March 2026 with 160 MW of solar capacity, and Wilmot II was placed in service on April 3, 2026 with 100 MW of solar capacity and 100 MW of battery storage (400 MWh of energy capacity), both under existing power purchase agreements.

<u>Nuclear Generation</u>

In collaboration with other Arizona electric utilities, we are assessing the potential role of nuclear generation as a possible long-term carbon-free energy resource to support Arizona's growth in electricity demand. On April 22, 2026, the utilities entered into a memorandum of understanding that establishes a framework for site evaluation and preliminary permitting-related activities. The utilities have also applied for a U.S. Department of Energy grant that could help support a multi-year site selection process and potential preparation of an early site permit application with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. These efforts are in early exploratory stages, are subject to regulatory approvals and funding availability, and may not result in the development of a nuclear facility.

<u>Production Tax Credits</u>

PTCs are federal tax credits earned per-kWh of electricity generated using qualified energy resources for a 10-year period after a qualifying facility is placed in service. In 2021, Oso Grande, a qualifying energy resource, was placed in service. While costs associated with operating the facility are recorded throughout the year, PTCs are recognized through the effective tax rate provision and are primarily recognized in the third quarter due to weather patterns that contribute to seasonal fluctuations in taxable earnings. We recorded approximately $2 million and $4 million in PTCs related to Oso Grande for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The PTC rate published by the IRS for wind facilities placed in service prior to 2022 was $0.030 for 2025.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i1bcac9191d1048e9bc97ff8b7dea0026_7)</u>

Electricity generated from Oso Grande depends heavily on wind conditions. If actual conditions differ from our estimates, or if operational constraints arise, including insufficient transmission capacity to deliver the electricity, then the project's generation and associated PTCs may vary significantly from prior periods.

<u>Pipeline Expansion Agreements</u>

On April 10, 2026, to support system reliability, facilitate the conversion of Springerville Units 1 and 2 to natural gas-fired generation, and meet future load growth, we entered into a 20-year gas transportation precedent agreement and amended an existing 25-year agreement to secure reliable access to natural gas. The agreements support the development of new third-party pipelines. Subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals and other conditions, the pipelines are expected to be in service by late 2029.

Once the pipelines enter commercial operation, we will enter into related gas transportation service agreements with estimated purchase commitments of approximately $2.6 billion over 25 years and $1.0 billion over 20 years.

**Sales Growth and Seasonality**

Our average retail sales growth has remained relatively flat over the past three years. Recently, we have experienced interest from potential new large retail customers in the manufacturing, data center, and mining sectors with significant energy demands. This interest could result in a significant increase in retail sales growth compared to our historical averages. In addition, a significant increase in energy demand could require additions to our generation fleet above what is reflected in our 2023 IRP, as well as higher transmission and distribution infrastructure investments.

In addition to the ESA described below, we are analyzing additional requests from existing and potential new large retail customers and cannot predict the quantity or timing of the energy demand, if any, that may result.

<u>Energy Supply Agreement</u>

In 2025, we reached an agreement to serve a data center campus expected to be located in our service territory, requiring potential power demand of approximately 300 MW. The ACC approved the ESA in December 2025. The ESA provides additional consumer protections such as establishing minimum monthly payment obligations that apply irrespective of customer energy use, authorizing termination fees supported by financial assurance mechanisms, and imposing credit standards designed to mitigate the risk of default. On April 10, 2026, the parties waived certain contractual provisions under the ESA, establishing a $40 million termination payment if the ESA is terminated by the customer prior to the commencement of electric service, secured by a $40 million letter of credit received on April 23, 2026.

Following the ACC's approval, the Arizona Attorney General and the City of Tucson submitted requests to the ACC for rehearing, which were deemed denied. In February 2026, the Arizona Attorney General and the City of Tucson filed legal challenges, now pending in the Superior Court of Maricopa County, Arizona contesting the ACC's approval of the ESA. We cannot predict the timing or outcome of these proceedings.

Separately, we entered into a project construction agreement to design, engineer, procure, construct, install, and place into service transmission and switchyard facilities to provide retail electric service to the customer. The FERC accepted the original project construction agreement in September 2025. On April 10, 2026, we executed an amended and restated project construction agreement under which the customer assumed responsibility for the switchyard construction costs and is required to pre-fund project costs. The amended and restated agreement requires FERC re-approval and becomes effective upon FERC acceptance.

The data center campus is projected to be operational as early as 2027, with a ramp schedule through 2029. We currently expect to serve this customer from our existing and planned generation resources.

<u>Weather Patterns</u>

Changing weather patterns and other factors cause seasonal fluctuations in power sales. Our retail sales are highest in the second and third quarters of the year when cooling demand is higher, which results in higher revenue during this period. By contrast, lower sales of power occur during the first and fourth quarters of the year, due to mild winter weather in our retail

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i1bcac9191d1048e9bc97ff8b7dea0026_7)</u>

service territory. Our operating costs are generally consistent throughout the year, which produces higher operating income in the second and third quarters and lower operating income in the first and fourth quarters.

**Interest Rates**

See Part II, Item 7A in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part I, Item 3 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding interest rate risk and its impact on earnings.

**RESULTS OF OPERATIONS** 

Significant drivers of our results of operations that do not have a significant impact on net income include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Cost Recovery Mechanisms** — We record operating revenue related to cost recovery mechanisms that allow for more timely recovery of fuel and purchased power costs and certain operations and maintenance costs between rate case proceedings. These mechanisms, which include PPFAC, the RES tariff, and DSM, are generally reset annually through separate filings with the ACC. See Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on cost recovery mechanisms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Short-Term Wholesale Sales** — Revenues related to short-term wholesale sales are primarily related to ACC jurisdictional generation assets and are returned to retail customers by offsetting revenues against fuel and purchased power costs eligible for recovery through the PPFAC mechanism.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Springerville Units 3 and 4** — Operations and maintenance expenses related to Springerville Units 3 and 4 are reimbursed by Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc., the lessee of Springerville Unit 3, and SRP, the owner of Springerville Unit 4, through participant billings recorded in Operating Revenues on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following discussion provides the significant items that affected our results of operations for the first three months of 2026 compared with the same period in 2025 presented on a pre-tax basis.

**Operating Revenues**

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup>Includes revenue realized from wholesale trading as defined in the PPFAC plan of administration. We share 10% of any realized gains on trading transactions with retail customers through the PPFAC mechanism.

We reported Operating Revenues of $338 million for the first three months of 2026 compared with $366 million in the same period for 2025. The decrease of $28 million, or 8%, was primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $15 million in lower short-term wholesale revenue, primarily due to a decrease in price and volume and a decrease in revenues from wholesale trading, as defined in the PPFAC plan of administration, due to unfavorable market conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $7 million in lower other revenue primarily due to lower TCA and LFCR revenue;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $5 million in lower long-term wholesale revenue primarily due to a decrease in volume, partially offset by an increase in price; and

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i1bcac9191d1048e9bc97ff8b7dea0026_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $4 million in lower retail revenue primarily due to lower PPFAC cost recoveries as a result of a decrease in the PPFAC rate and milder temperatures.

The decrease was partially offset by $2 million in higher transmission revenue resulting from an increase in our transmission revenue requirement due to a higher rate base.

The following table provides key statistics impacting Operating Revenues:

The customer count is based on the average number of active service agreements during each period. Management uses this count to monitor the growth of retail customers.

**Operating Expenses**

<u>Fuel and Purchased Power Expense</u>

We reported Fuel and Purchased Power expense of $95 million for the first three months of 2026 compared with $115 million for the same period for 2025. The decrease of $20 million, or 17%, was primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $15 million in lower PPFAC recovery treatment primarily due to a decrease in PPFAC recoveries and an increase in PPFAC eligible costs deferred as a regulatory asset for future recovery; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $15 million in lower fuel expenses primarily due to a decrease in gas and coal prices and a decrease in Gas-Fired Generation volumes; partially offset by an increase in Coal-Fired Generation volumes and higher realized losses on natural gas swaps.

The decrease was partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $7 million in higher transmission and other PPFAC recoverable costs primarily due to an increase in transmission service expenses related to a FERC rate case credit received in January 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $3 million in higher purchased power expense primarily due to an increase in volume.

We reported Operations and Maintenance expense of $112 million for the first three months of 2026 compared with $100 million for the same period for 2025. The increase of $12 million, or 12%, was primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $7 million in higher operating costs due to an increase in planned generation maintenance, including timing associated with the concentration of these costs in the first three months of 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $3 million in higher employee wages expenses; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $1 million in higher reimbursable materials and maintenance expenses related to Springerville Unit 3.

<u>Depreciation and Amortization Expense</u>

We reported Depreciation and Amortization expense of $69 million for the first three months of 2026 compared with $65 million for the same period for 2025. The increase of $4 million, or 6%, was primarily due to an increase in asset base.

**Other Income (Expense)**

We reported Other Expense of $13 million for the first three months of 2026 compared with $15 million in the same period for 2025. The decrease of $2 million, or 13%, was primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $2 million in lower net periodic non-service cost primarily due to a decrease in interest cost and an increase in expected return on plan assets; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $1 million in higher AFUDC due to an increase in eligible construction expenditures.

The decrease was partially offset by a $1 million decrease in interest income due to lower cash balances in interest-bearing bank accounts in 2026.

**Income Tax Expense**

We reported Income Tax Expense of $3 million for the first three months of 2026 compared with $8 million for the same period for 2025. The decrease of $5 million, or 63%, was primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $6 million in lower tax expense due to a decrease in pretax income; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $3 million in higher amortization of ITCs and a valuation allowance recorded in 2025 that did not recur in 2026.

The decrease was partially offset by $2 million in lower tax credits related to Oso Grande PTCs.

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

**Liquidity**

Any extended period of economic disruption could affect our business, financial condition, and access to sources of liquidity. Cash flows vary during the year with cash flows from operations typically being the lowest in the first quarter of the year and highest in the third quarter due to our summer peaking load. We face market risks associated with fluctuations in commodity prices, which can temporarily affect our cash flows prior to recovery through regulatory mechanisms. We cannot project the future level of commodity prices or their volatility. We use our revolving credit as needed to fund our business activities. We believe that we have sufficient liquidity under the 2021 Credit Agreement to meet short-term working capital needs and to provide credit enhancement as necessary under energy procurement and hedging agreements. The availability and terms under which we have access to external financing depend on a variety of factors, including our credit ratings and conditions in the bank and capital markets.

\*Not meaningful

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup>Calculated on rounded data and may not correspond exactly to amounts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

*Operating Activities* 

Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased by $2 million in the first three months of 2026 compared with the same period in 2025 primarily due to changes in working capital associated with higher accounts payable and accrued charges; partially offset by: (i) lower margin from wholesale transactions primarily due to unfavorable market conditions; (ii) higher operations and maintenance costs primarily due to an increase in planned outages and an increase in employee wages expenses; and (iii) lower PPFAC recoveries in 2026 and an increase in PPFAC eligible costs deferred as a regulatory asset for future recovery.

*Investing Activities* 

Net cash flows used for investing activities decreased by $17 million in the first three months of 2026 compared with the same period in 2025 primarily due to a decrease in cash paid for capital expenditures.

*Financing Activities* 

Net cash flows provided by financing activities decreased by $208 million in the first three months of 2026 compared with the same period in 2025 primarily due to: (i) lower proceeds from debt issuance; and (ii) an increase in dividends paid to UNS Energy; partially offset by: (i) higher proceeds and lower repayments of credit facility borrowings; and (ii) an increase in equity contributions from UNS Energy.

<u>Sources of Liquidity</u> 

*Short-Term Investments* 

Our short-term investment policy governs the investment of excess cash balances. We periodically review and update this policy in response to market conditions. As of March 31, 2026, we had no short-term investments.

*Access to Credit* 

We have access to working capital through our credit agreement with lenders. Amounts borrowed from the 2021 Credit Agreement are used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. LOCs may be issued from time to time to support energy procurement, hedging transactions, and other business activities. As of March 31, 2026, there was $161 million available under the 2021 Credit Agreement, which reflects $75 million of outstanding revolver borrowings and LOCs totaling $14 million issued with fees that accrue at a rate of 1.050% per annum. As of May 5, 2026, there was $96 million available under the 2021 Credit Agreement.

See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding our 2021 Credit Agreement.

*Debt Financing*

We use debt financing to meet a portion of our capital needs and lower our overall cost of capital. Our cost of capital is also affected by our credit ratings. In March 2025, we filed with the SEC an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i1bcac9191d1048e9bc97ff8b7dea0026_7)</u>

which expires in March 2028. In October 2025, the ACC issued an order granting us financing authority which took effect on January 1, 2026. The order provides authority through December 2030 for: (i) a maximum amount of outstanding long-term debt not to exceed $4.5 billion; (ii) parent equity contributions of up to $1.7 billion, provided that no such equity infusion results in an increase to the equity portion of our capital structure of more than 50 basis points above the level approved in our rate order in effect at the time of the contribution; and (iii) credit facilities not to exceed $350 million in the aggregate.

We have, from time to time, refinanced or repurchased portions of our outstanding debt before scheduled maturity. Depending on market conditions, we may refinance or repurchase additional outstanding debt before its scheduled maturity.

*Credit Ratings*

Credit ratings affect our access to capital markets and supplemental bank financing. As of March 31, 2026, credit ratings from S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investors Service for our senior unsecured debt were A- (stable) and A3 (stable), respectively.

Our credit ratings depend on a number of factors, both quantitative and qualitative, and are subject to change at any time. The disclosure of these credit ratings is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold our securities. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other ratings.

The 2021 Credit Agreement contains pricing based on our credit ratings. A change in our credit ratings can cause an increase or decrease in the amount of interest we pay on our borrowings and the amount of fees we pay for LOCs and unused commitments.

*Debt Covenants* 

Under certain agreements, should we fail to maintain compliance with covenants, lenders could accelerate the maturity of all amounts outstanding. As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with these covenants.

We do not have any provisions in any of our debt agreements that would cause an event of default or cause amounts to become due and payable in the event of a credit rating downgrade.

*Contributions from Parent* 

We received equity contributions from UNS Energy of $95 million in the first three months of 2026. We received no equity contributions from UNS Energy in the first three months of 2025.

*Dividends Declared and Paid to Parent* 

We declared and paid $150 million in dividends to UNS Energy in the first three months of 2026. We did not declare or pay dividends to UNS Energy in the first three months of 2025.

<u>Master Trading Agreements</u>

We conduct our wholesale marketing and risk management activities under certain master trading agreements. These agreements may require us to post credit enhancements in the form of cash or LOCs if our exposures exceed unsecured credit limits established for us based on changes in: (i) contract values; (ii) our credit ratings; or (iii) material changes in our creditworthiness. As of March 31, 2026, we had no cash posted as collateral to provide credit enhancement related to our wholesale marketing or risk management activities.

**Capital Expenditures**

Our routine capital expenditures support customer growth, system reinforcement, replacements and betterments, and compliance with environmental rules and regulations. In the first three months of 2026, there were no material changes to our forecasted capital expenditures as reported in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We continue to monitor government trade policies, particularly those related to tariffs, and assess their potential impact on our capital projects. Although there has been no material effect on our operations or financial performance in 2026, future increases in tariffs or related supply chain disruptions could significantly raise costs if mitigation efforts are unsuccessful.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i1bcac9191d1048e9bc97ff8b7dea0026_7)</u>

**Income Tax Position**

<u>Tax Sharing Agreement</u>

Under the terms of the tax sharing agreement with UNS Energy, we made no tax sharing payments for the first three months of 2026 and $1 million in net tax sharing payments for the first three months of 2025. Future cash flows are subject to change and are not expected to have a significant impact on our operating cash flows.

<u>Investment Tax Credits</u>

Standalone battery storage systems that began construction before January 29, 2023 may qualify for a base federal tax credit equal to 30% of the eligible costs of the facility. The IRA provides an election to transfer (i.e., sell) some or all of certain tax credits generated by a qualifying facility to unrelated third parties in exchange for cash. Transfer elections must be made on a facility-by-facility and year-by-year basis. Any election to transfer tax credits must be made and cash must be received on or before the due date of the tax return for the year the facility is placed in service. We expect Roadrunner Reserve II to qualify for the base federal tax credit. Roadrunner Reserve II is expected to be placed in service in 2026. In March 2026, we entered into an agreement to transfer ITCs related to Roadrunner Reserve II in the second half of 2026. On April 9, 2026, we received the final $46 million of cash proceeds from the sale of ITCs related to Roadrunner Reserve I.

**Environmental Matters** 

The EPA has the authority to regulate emissions of SO2, NOx, CO2, particulate matter, mercury, and other by-products produced from generation facilities. We may incur additional costs to comply with future changes in federal and state environmental laws, regulations, and permit requirements at our generation facilities. Environmental laws and regulations are subject to a range of interpretations, which may ultimately be resolved by the courts. Because these laws and regulations continue to evolve, we are unable to predict the impact they may have on our operations and consolidated financial results. Complying with these changes may reduce operating efficiency and increase capital and operating costs.

<u>Regional Haze Regulations</u> 

The EPA's Regional Haze rule requires certain industrial facilities to reduce emissions that impair visibility in national parks and wilderness areas. The rule calls for states to establish goals and emission reduction strategies for improving visibility in these areas. States must submit these goals and strategies to the EPA for approval in the form of a SIP and must review and submit revisions to the SIP on a periodic basis.

In December 2016, the EPA signed a final rule that, among other things, moved the next deadline for Regional Haze SIP revisions from 2018 to 2021. Following this change, the ADEQ began developing a control strategy to make reasonable progress toward the national visibility goal. In July 2019, the ADEQ notified us that Sundt Unit 3 and Springerville Units 1 and 2 had been selected for potential emissions controls evaluations. We conducted the potential emissions controls evaluations, commonly referred to as the four-factor analysis, for the three units. These evaluations were submitted to the ADEQ in March 2020 and compliance measures for the three units were included in the revised SIP.

In December 2024, the EPA published a final rule partially approving and partially disapproving the ADEQ's Regional Haze SIP revision. The EPA disapproved the ADEQ's control strategy in the revised SIP, which relies, in part, on the compliance measures for Sundt Unit 3 and Springerville Units 1 and 2. The EPA also disapproved the ADEQ's selection of sources for potential emissions controls evaluations and requested further evaluation of Sundt Unit 4. The disapproval established a two-year deadline for the EPA to promulgate a FIP that contains EPA-required compliance measures for Springerville and Sundt, unless the EPA approves a subsequent SIP submission by the ADEQ curing the SIP deficiencies within that timeframe.

In February 2025, in response to the EPA's December 2024 final rule, TEP and SRP filed a joint Petition for Review with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In September 2025, the Court granted a motion filed by the Coalition to Protect America's National Parks, the National Parks Conservation Association, and Sierra Club to intervene in the case, which had the effect of taking the case out of abeyance and reinstating a briefing schedule. The petitioners (TEP, SRP, ASARCO, and Phoenix Cement) and respondents (the EPA) jointly filed a motion with the Court asking for the case to be held in abeyance, which the Court granted in December 2025.

In February 2025, TEP and SRP also concurrently filed a joint Petition for Administrative Reconsideration with the EPA. We requested that the EPA reconsider the final rule and act to approve the ADEQ's Regional Haze SIP revision. In July 2025, TEP and SRP filed a supplement to the Petition for Administrative Reconsideration, providing further justification for the EPA to reconsider the final rule, and the EPA granted the request for reconsideration. In October 2025, we filed a modification to the original and supplemental Petition for Administrative Reconsideration providing justification for the EPA's reconsideration with respect to Sundt Unit 3 and Springerville Units 1 and 2.

We cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

<u>Greenhouse Gas Regulation</u>

In May 2024, the EPA published final rules to regulate GHG emissions from two categories of fossil-based EGUs: (i) existing steam units (including coal- and natural gas-fired); and (ii) new natural gas-fired turbines.

The final rules established:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• emission guidelines for existing coal-fired steam EGUs, which are subcategorized based on federally enforceable retirement dates. These emission guidelines affect Springerville Units 1 and 2, as well as Four Corners Units 4 and 5;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• emission guidelines for existing natural gas- and oil-fired steam EGUs aligned with routine methods of operation and maintenance, which are subcategorized based on the annual capacity factor of each unit beginning January 1, 2030. These emission guidelines affect Sundt Units 3 and 4;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a requirement for states to establish standards of performance that align with the emission guidelines in the form of emission limits. States must submit these standards of performance to the EPA for approval in the form of a state plan, which is due to the EPA in May 2026; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• new source performance standards for new stationary natural gas-fired combustion turbines, which are subcategorized based on the annual capacity factor for each unit. For base load units (i.e., units with an annual capacity factor greater than 40%), the EPA established a two-phased performance standard. For phase 1, new base load units must initially meet performance standards based on the use of highly efficient combined cycle generation with the best operating and maintenance practices. For phase 2, the final rule requires that such base load units achieve emissions reductions aligned with a 90% CCS rate beginning on January 1, 2032.

Various legal challenges to the final rules are pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. In April 2025, the Court granted the EPA's unopposed motion to hold the case in abeyance indefinitely (following a previous sixty-day stay), while the EPA conducts a rulemaking to reassess the rules. In June 2025, the EPA published a proposed rule containing two co-proposals to address the 2024 final rules. In the primary proposal, the EPA proposed to repeal the 2024 final rules in their entirety based on a determination that fossil-based electric generating units do not contribute significantly to GHG air pollution. In the alternative proposal, the EPA proposed to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• repeal the Best System of Emission Reductions determinations, presumptive standards of performance, and all related requirements in the emission guidelines for existing long-term and medium-term coal-fired steam EGUs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• repeal the requirements for existing natural gas- and oil-fired steam EGUs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• repeal the phase 2 CCS-based requirements for new base load combustion turbine EGUs.

We cannot predict the outcome of the rulemaking or the legal challenges at this time.

<u>Coal Combustion Residuals Regulation</u>

The EPA published final rules effective October 2015 (2015 CCR Rule) that established technical requirements for CCR landfills and surface impoundments under subtitle D of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The 2015 CCR Rule provides for the safe disposal of coal ash from coal-fired generation facilities, including among other things, inspection, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements. We currently dispose of CCR in an ash landfill located at Springerville. APS, the operator of Four Corners, currently disposes of CCR in ash ponds and dry storage areas located at the facility. SRP, the operator of Navajo, is completing closure activities at the facility's CCR landfill. No corrective actions to comply with the 2015 CCR Rule have been identified at Springerville or Navajo. With regards to future corrective actions at Four Corners to comply with the 2015 CCR Rule, our share of costs to complete any corrective actions and to gather and perform remedial evaluations on groundwater at Units 4 and 5 is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In May 2024, the EPA published the final Legacy CCR Surface Impoundments Rule that expands the scope of the 2015 CCR Rule to address the impacts from historical CCR management and placement activities that would have ceased prior to 2015. The 2024 EPA rule establishes two new categories of federally regulated CCR: (i) legacy surface impoundments, which are inactive surface impoundments at inactive facilities that no longer receive CCR but contained both CCR and liquids on or after October 19, 2015; and (ii) CCRMUs which broadly encompass any location at an operating coal-fired generation facility where CCR would have been placed on land. A CCRMU includes not only historically closed landfills and surface impoundments, but

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i1bcac9191d1048e9bc97ff8b7dea0026_7)</u>

also prior applications of CCR on land, such as for structural fill. The final rule also establishes assessment, groundwater monitoring, closure, and post-closure requirements for legacy CCR impoundments and CCRMUs.

We continue to analyze the EPA's Legacy CCR Surface Impoundments Rule for potential impacts to our operations. We anticipate CCRMUs will be identified at Springerville and Four Corners. The number, location, and size of these CCRMUs will be assessed in accordance with the compliance schedule outlined in the EPA's final rule; therefore, associated compliance costs cannot be accurately predicted at this time. SRP tentatively identified CCRMUs at Navajo. Our estimated cost to comply with the EPA's final rule at Navajo is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Legal challenges to the final rule are pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

On April 13, 2026, the EPA published a proposed rule that reconsiders many requirements that were established by the Legacy CCR Surface Impoundments Rule and the 2015 CCR Rule. The proposed rule includes multiple proposals including potential removal of all requirements associated with CCRMUs or up to seven alternative amendments to the CCRMU requirements. The proposed rule also includes incorporating site-specific risk provisions into the 2015 CCR Rule requirements for CCR units. We are analyzing the EPA's proposed rule.

We cannot predict the outcome of the proposed rulemaking or the legal challenges at this time.

<u>Good Neighbor Federal Implementation Plan</u> 

In September 2018, the ADEQ submitted to the EPA the Arizona SIP Revision to address the interstate transport of ozone (Arizona Ozone Transport SIP Revision) under the 2015 ozone NAAQS. In June 2022, the EPA proposed to approve the Arizona Ozone Transport SIP Revision, finding that it contained adequate provisions to prohibit emissions that will significantly contribute to nonattainment or interference with maintenance of the 2015 ozone NAAQS in other states.

In March 2023, the EPA released its final FIP to address the interstate transport of ozone (Good Neighbor FIP) with an effective date of August 4, 2023. The Good Neighbor FIP establishes requirements for those states where the EPA disapproved Ozone Transport SIP Revisions in whole or part. The Good Neighbor FIP requires NOx emission reductions from fossil-fueled generation facilities. The EPA provided an updated analysis in the Good Neighbor FIP that suggested Arizona may be significantly contributing to one or more nonattainment or maintenance receptors and that a separate action for Arizona was forthcoming.

In February 2024, the EPA published a proposed supplemental Good Neighbor rulemaking proposing to partially approve and partially disapprove the Arizona Ozone Transport SIP Revision and to expand the coverage of the Good Neighbor FIP to include Arizona. Arizona's inclusion under the Good Neighbor FIP would subject certain of our fossil-fueled generation facilities to NOx emission reduction requirements. The EPA must take final action on Arizona's Ozone Transport SIP Revision by February 26, 2026, per consent decree entered in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

In June 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court granted a stay of the Good Neighbor FIP pending the disposition of the petitions for review of the Good Neighbor FIP currently pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. In October 2024, the EPA issued an interim final rule administratively staying the effectiveness of the Good Neighbor FIP for all emissions sources subject to the plan as promulgated.

In September 2024, the U.S Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit Court granted the EPA's request to remand the Good Neighbor FIP rulemaking record and further respond to comments related to the issues addressed in the U.S. Supreme Court's stay. The EPA published its updated response to comments for the Good Neighbor FIP in December 2024.

In March 2025, the EPA filed a motion in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit indicating it plans to reconsider the Good Neighbor Rule. On January 30, 2026, the EPA published the first proposal of a two-phase plan to revise the interstate transport regulations for the 2015 ozone NAAQS. The EPA proposed to approve SIPs from eight states (including Arizona) based on a determination that emissions from these states do not significantly contribute to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2015 ozone NAAQS in downwind states. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES**

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect results of operations and the amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the financial statements and related notes. Management believes that there have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2026, to the items that we disclosed as our critical

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i1bcac9191d1048e9bc97ff8b7dea0026_7)</u>

accounting estimates in Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED AND NOT YET ADOPTED**

For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements affecting TEP, see Note 1 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

**ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

TEP's primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates, commodity prices and volumes, and counterparty credit. Fluctuations in interest rates can affect earnings and cash flows. TEP may enter into financing transactions to manage changes in interest rates. Fluctuations in commodity prices and volumes and counterparty credit losses may temporarily affect cash flows but are not expected to affect earnings due to expected recovery through regulatory mechanisms.

There have been no additional risks and no material changes to market risks disclosed in Part II, Item 7A in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

TEP's Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) supervised and participated in TEP's evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a–15(e) and Rule 15d–15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in TEP's periodic reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by TEP in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon the evaluation performed, TEP's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that TEP's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026. There was no change in TEP's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, TEP's internal control over financial reporting.

**ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**

For a description of certain legal proceedings affecting TEP, refer to Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Pursuant to Item 103 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, TEP is required to disclose certain information about environmental proceedings to which a governmental authority is a party if TEP reasonably believes such proceedings may result in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, above a stated threshold. TEP has elected to apply a threshold of $1 million for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required.

**ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS**

The business and financial results of TEP are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. As a result, the risks and uncertainties discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be carefully considered. There have been no material changes in the assessment of our risk factors from those set forth in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
