Hydro One reported its financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, on November 10. The Financial Times carried the company announcement.

Net income attributable to common shareholders fell to CAD 413 million from CAD 421 million a year earlier. Basic earnings per share declined to CAD 0.69 from CAD 0.70, as higher operation, maintenance and administration costs, depreciation, asset-removal expenses and interest charges outweighed higher revenue from approved rates and stronger peak demand.

Investment plan raises capital outlook

Revenue rose to CAD 2.491 billion from CAD 2.299 billion. Revenue net of purchased power, a non-GAAP measure used by Hydro One, increased to CAD 1.287 billion from CAD 1.219 billion.

Capital investments reached CAD 1.084 billion in the quarter, compared with CAD 779 million a year earlier. Hydro One also placed CAD 658 million of assets in service. The company has proposed an approximately CAD 37 billion investment plan for its transmission and distribution systems for 2028 through 2032, subject to regulatory decisions.

The plan includes proposed capital expenditures of approximately CAD 16.7 billion for transmission and CAD 10.8 billion for distribution. Hydro One also filed a leave-to-construct application for the North Shore Link transmission project and energized the Etobicoke Greenway line.

Dividend points to December payment

Hydro One declared a quarterly dividend of CAD 0.3531 per share on November 9. The dividend is payable on December 31 to shareholders of record on December 9.
