We may make such statements in this Interim Report and in other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and with securities regulators in Canada - see "Part 8 - Presentation to Stakeholders and Performance Measurement". We make use of non-IFRS measures in this Interim Report - see "Part 8 - Presentation to Stakeholders and Performance Measurement". This Interim Report, our Form 20-F and additional information filed with the SEC and with securities regulators in Canada are available on our website at https://bep.brookfield.com, on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or on SEDAR+'s website at www.sedarplus.ca.
OUR COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS
Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (together with its controlled entities, "Brookfield Renewable") is a globally diversified, multi-technology, owner and operator of clean energy and sustainable solutions assets.
Our strategy is to utilize our global reach, scale capital and experience to acquire and develop high quality clean energy and sustainable solutions assets below intrinsic value, finance them on a long-term, low-risk and investment grade basis through a conservative financing strategy and then optimize cash flows by applying our operating expertise to enhance value or bring these assets into production, generating incremental cash flows for our business.
One of the largest, public decarbonization businesses globally with a strong track record of value creation. Brookfield Renewable has a 25-year track record as a publicly traded operator, developer and investor in renewable power and sustainable solution assets. Today we have a large, multi-technology and globally diversified portfolio that is supported by approximately 6,700 experienced employees (inclusive of employees employed by our consolidated portfolio companies). Brookfield Renewable invests in assets directly, as well as with institutional partners, joint venture partners and through other arrangements. We have also made investments in sustainable solutions, comprised of assets and businesses that enable the transition to net-zero where we can leverage our access to capital and partnerships to accelerate growth, and emerging transition asset classes where our initial investment positions us for potential future large scale decarbonization investment. Our sustainable solutions portfolio also includes investments in power transformation opportunities where we have invested in businesses to enable the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through the deployment of traditional renewables.
Our globally diverse portfolio helps to mitigate resource variability, and improves consistency of our cash flows. Our organic growth and acquisitions are typically done through Brookfield's private funds and therefore on a proportionate basis Brookfield Renewable's business will continue to diversify but remain heavily weighted to our premium, critical hydroelectric assets.
Our renewable power portfolio consists of hydroelectric, wind, utility-scale solar, distributed generation and energy storage facilities in North America, South America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, and our total power portfolio consists of approximately 51,400 MW of installed capacity. We also have a large global development pipeline of over 200 GW. Our portfolio of sustainable solutions assets includes our investments in Westinghouse (a leading global nuclear services business), a utility and independent power producer with operations in the Caribbean and Latin America, as well as both operating assets and a development pipeline of carbon capture and storage capacity, agricultural renewable natural gas, materials recycling and a pipeline of eFuels production capacity.

The following charts illustrate Funds From Operations on a proportionate basis(1):
(1) Figures based on Funds From Operations for the last twelve months, net to Brookfield Renewable, adjusted to long-term average generation and excluding other income.
Diverse and high-quality portfolio of renewable power and sustainable solutions assets. Brookfield Renewable has a complementary portfolio of hydroelectric, wind, utility-scale solar, energy storage and distributed generation and other sustainable solutions assets:
•Hydroelectric Power. Today, hydroelectric power is the largest segment in our portfolio and continues to be a premium and differentiated technology as one of the longest life, lowest-cost and cleanest forms of power generation. Hydroelectric plants have high cash margins and storage capacity with the ability to dispatch power at all hours of the day.
•Wind & Solar Power. Our wind and utility-scale solar generation facilities provide exposure to some of the fastest growing renewable power sectors, with high cash margins, zero fuel input cost, and diverse and scalable applications. Wind and solar are now among the lowest cost forms of power generation available globally.
•Energy Storage & Distributed Generation. Our energy storage facilities provide the markets in which they are located with critical services to the grid, including dispatchable generation, and our distributed generation assets provide independent, secure, behind the meter power solutions to customers.
•Sustainable Solutions. Our sustainable solutions assets, such as carbon capture, renewable natural gas capacity, nuclear services and our eFuels business, are helping corporates and countries enhance their operations and achieve their net-zero goals.
With our scale, diversity, operating and development capabilities and the quality of our assets, we are competitively positioned relative to other renewable power and transition companies. Our large pipeline and differentiated capabilities provide significant scarcity value and growth potential for our investors.

Best-in-class operators and developers. Brookfield Renewable has approximately 6,700 experienced operators (inclusive of employees employed by our consolidated portfolio companies) that are located across the globe to help optimize the performance and maximize the returns of all our assets. Our experience operating, developing, and managing power generation facilities spans over 120 years. We continue to accelerate our development activities as we build out our over 200 GW renewable power pipeline, and further enhance our decarbonization offering to our customers through the build out of our sustainable solutions assets, which includes opportunities to invest in material recycling, CCS, RNG, eFuels and others. Increasingly, the combination of our operating and developing capabilities with our growth pipeline is differentiating our business as the partner of choice for buyers of clean power and entities looking to decarbonize, driving the growth of our business.
Positioned to meet growing demand for power, accelerate decarbonization and improve the stability of electricity grids. Energy demand continues to accelerate, driven by the multi-decade trends of electrification and reindustrialization, and this has been further amplified by AI in recent years. Today, renewables are the lowest cost source of bulk power generation in most regions, and the most readily deployable, making them among the most viable solutions to help meet energy demand growth. We are positioned to meet this demand with our large, diverse global development pipeline and differentiated capabilities. In addition to power demand growth, renewables help mitigate energy security risks while also enabling corporates and governments to achieve their decarbonization goals. We believe that our scale and global operating, development and investing capabilities make us well positioned to partner with governments and corporates to help them achieve their transition targets, while also improving the stability of grids through the delivery of secure, low-cost renewable power.
Strong financial profile and conservative financing strategy. Brookfield Renewable maintains a robust balance sheet, strong investment grade rating, and access to global capital markets to ensure cash flow resiliency through the cycle and flexibility to opportunistically deploy capital. Our approach to financing is to raise the majority of our debt in the form of asset-specific, non-recourse borrowings at our subsidiaries on an investment grade basis with no financial maintenance covenants. Approximately 90% of our debt is either investment grade rated or sized to investment grade metrics. Our corporate debt to market capitalization is approximately 17% and approximately 90% of our borrowings are non-recourse. Corporate borrowings and proportionate non-recourse borrowings have weighted-average terms of approximately 13 years and 10 years, respectively, with no material maturities over the next five years. Approximately 84% of our financings are effectively fixed rate and only 12% of our debt outside North America and Europe is exposed to changes in interest rates. Our available liquidity as at September 30, 2026 is over $5.1 billion of cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities and the available portion of credit facilities.
Well positioned for cash flow growth and an attractive long-term distribution profile. We have diverse, reliable and derisked cash flow growth levers that help enable our stable distribution growth target of 5% to 9% annually. Our business is funded by internally generated cash flows, asset recycling and upfinancing which support organic development and acquisition activities that contribute to cash flow growth. Our operating cash flows also have embedded growth levers including inflation escalations in the vast majority of our contracts, potential margin expansion through revenue growth and cost reduction initiatives.
Disciplined investment strategy and differentiated capabilities. Our global scale, access to capital and capabilities across technologies allow us to flexibly deploy capital in order to earn strong risk-adjusted returns. We take a disciplined approach to allocating capital into development and acquisitions focused on downside protection and preservation of capital, leveraging Brookfield's team of over 150 investment professionals globally who are dedicated to sourcing and underwriting accretive acquisitions on an opportunistic basis. Our ability to develop and acquire assets is strengthened by our operating and project development teams across the globe, our commercial and supplier relationships, our strategic relationship with Brookfield, and our liquidity and capitalization profile.
Differentiated approach to asset development and asset management. We employ a conservative, differentiated approach with respect to asset development and management whereby we look to remove what we call "basis risk" before committing significant capital. To do this, we look to secure financing, customer agreements and engineering, procurement and construction contracts concurrently so we have strong visibility on cash flows and can lock-in our target returns. Where possible, we look to secure fixed rate financing, inflation indexed customer agreements and full wrap construction contracts to minimize uncertainty and provide strong visibility to our cash flows.

Operations
Funds From Operations of $346 million or $0.51 on a per Unit basis, representing an 11% increase from the prior year driven by:
•Contributions from our diverse, global fleet with embedded growth from our contracted and inflation-linked cash flows;
•Recent acquisitions, including Boralex Inc. ("Boralex") and our increased stake in Isagen;
•Continued growth from our scaling development activities, including approximately 9,000 MW of new development projects reaching commercial operation in the past 12 months; and
•Gains on sales from our recurring and scaling capital recycling activities
After deducting non-cash depreciation, foreign exchange and derivative gains or losses and other, net loss attributable to Unitholders for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $314 million.
We strengthened our position as the global partner of choice for the world's largest buyers of power delivering differentiated energy solutions.
•Advanced commercial initiatives, contracting ~1,600 MW of our advanced stage projects during the quarter
During the quarter the U.S. federal government announced a strategic framework agreement with the Republic of Korea and Westinghouse, which will provide up to $120 billion in investment to help finance the construction of eight large-scale nuclear reactors in the U.S.
Growth and Development
We continue to execute on our growth priorities, investing or committing up to ~$3.0 billion (~$700 million net to Brookfield Renewable) of capital, further enhancing and diversifying our cash flows:
•During the quarter, we completed the acquisition of Boralex, adding a high-quality renewable power platform with a significant operating portfolio and development pipeline in strategic markets
•Subsequent to quarter-end, we completed the acquisition of Aypa, the largest standalone energy storage platform in North America
We continue to accelerate our development activities:
•Commissioned approximately 5,600 MW and 9,000 MW of new utility-scale and distributed generation solar, wind and battery storage projects year to date and in the last twelve months, respectively, and expect to deliver ~10,000 MW of new projects per year in 2027 and ~11,000 MW starting in 2028
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our best-in-class balance sheet with investment grade BBB+ credit rating and access to diverse sources of capital continues to differentiate our business and support our growth initiatives:
•Our financial position remains strong, with over $5.1 billion of available liquidity across our platform, providing substantial flexibility to deploy capital into growth opportunities;
•We closed C$750 million of green bonds across two tranches: C$400 million of 10-year notes at 4.95% and C$350 million of 5-year notes at 4.26%
Together with our institutional partners, we completed or reached agreements to sell assets since the second quarter that will generate ~$2.8 billion (~$850 million net to Brookfield Renewable), including:
•We completed the sale of the final 25% interest in a U.S. hydro portfolio in Maine and closed the remaining one-third interest in a 2,100-megawatt portfolio of renewable assets sold to Northview Energy for combined proceeds of ~$660 million (~$230 million net to Brookfield Renewable);
•We redeemed our investment in Avaada, one of our Indian platforms, for net proceeds of $570 million (~$125 million net to Brookfield Renewable);
•Our Colombian business completed or reached agreements to sell non-core or developed assets for ~$1.1 billion (~$420 million net to Brookfield Renewable):

•In September, we closed the sale of non-core operating hydro assets for proceeds of ~$155 million (~$60 million net to Brookfield Renewable);
•Also in September, we signed the sale of a portfolio of non-core hydro and solar assets for proceeds of ~$550 million (~$205 million net to Brookfield Renewable); and
•In October, we closed the sale of a portfolio of non-core hydro and solar assets for proceeds of ~$425 million (~$160 million net to Brookfield Renewable)
BEP Simplification
•Subsequent to the quarter, Brookfield Renewable Corporation investors approved the proposed simplification of our structure. We continue to seek approval from at least two-thirds of Brookfield Renewable investors. Support from Brookfield Renewable unitholders has been overwhelmingly positive, with 99.7% of those who have voted approving the transaction and two leading proxy advisory firms recommending unitholders vote in favour of the simplification

Variance Analysis For The Three Months Ended September 30, 2026
Revenues totaling $1,780 million represents an increase of $184 million over the same period in the prior year due to benefits from the growth of our business, higher realized pricing and favorable foreign exchange partially offset by recently completed asset sales and unfavorable generation in our Canadian and Colombian hydroelectric businesses. Recently acquired and commissioned facilities, that we consolidate, contributed 1,656 GWh of generation and $152 million to revenues which was partially offset by our recently completed asset sales that reduced generation by 3,117 GWh and revenues by $238 million. On a same store, constant currency basis, revenue increased by $187 million from the benefits of higher spot pricing in Colombia caused by lower system-wide hydrology and stronger hydrology in Brazil, partially offset by lower hydrology in Canada and Colombia.
The strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar relative to the same period in the prior year increased revenues by $83 million, partially offset by a $53 million unfavorable foreign exchange impact on our direct operating costs and interest expense for the quarter.
Direct operating costs totaling $1,013 million represents an increase of $292 million over the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher power purchases at higher market prices due to lower system-wide hydrology in Colombia, additional costs from our recently acquired and commissioned facilities and the above noted strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by recently completed asset sales.
Other income totaling $75 million represents a decrease of $244 million as the prior year benefitted from a gain resulting from the deconsolidation of the net assets of a renewable operating and development platform in India and the recognition of the fair value of our interest as an equity-accounted investment.
Management service costs totaling $63 million represents an increase of $6 million over the same period in the prior year due to the growth of our business.
Interest expense totaling $707 million represents an increase of $121 million over the same period in the prior year due to financing initiatives to fund growth and the above noted strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by recently completed asset sales.
Foreign exchange and financial instruments gain totaling $597 million represents an increase of $531 million due to increased tax equity monetizations associated with our growing development activities.

Depreciation expense totaling $587 million represents a decrease of $24 million over the same period in the prior year due to recently completed asset sales.
Income tax recovery represents a decrease of $62 million over the same period in the prior year due primarily to withholding tax related to the redemption of a convertible security in an Indian renewable power platform.
Net loss totaling $360 million represents a decrease of $402 million over the prior year primarily due to the above noted items and revaluation of property, plant, and equipment associated with the recognition of tax credits.
Variance Analysis For The Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026
Revenues totaling $5,004 million represents an increase of $136 million over the same period in the prior year as benefits from the growth of our business, higher realized pricing and favorable foreign exchange were more than offset by unfavorable hydrology at our U.S. and Colombian businesses and recently completed asset sales. Recently acquired and commissioned facilities that we consolidate contributed 3,092 GWh of generation and $288 million to revenue, offset by recently completed asset sales that reduced generation by 7,984 GWh and revenue by $634 million. On a same store, constant currency basis, revenues increased by $237 million from the benefits of stronger hydrology in Brazil and higher spot pricing in Colombia caused by lower system-wide hydrology, partially offset by unfavorable hydrology in the U.S. and Colombia.
The strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar relative to the same period in the prior year across most currencies increased revenues by $245 million, partially offset by a $178 million unfavorable foreign exchange impact on our direct operating costs and interest expense for the year.
Direct operating costs totaling $2,575 million represents an increase of $480 million over the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher power purchases at higher market prices due to lower system-wide hydrology in Colombia, additional costs from our recently acquired and commissioned facilities and the above noted strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by recently completed asset sales.
Other income totaling $459 million represents a decrease of $92 million as the prior year benefitted from a gain resulting from the deconsolidation of the net assets of a renewable operating and development platform in India and the recognition of the fair value of our interest as an equity-accounted investment in the prior year.
Management service costs totaling $213 million represents an increase of $51 million over the same period in the prior year due to the growth of our business.
Interest expense totaling $2,004 million represents an increase of $185 million over the same period in the prior year due to financing initiatives to fund growth and the above noted strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar.
Foreign exchange and financial instruments gain totaling $821 million represents an increase of $251 million due to increased tax equity monetizations associated with our growing development activities, partially offset by increases in global power prices which led to a $150 million mark-to-market impact on our long-term energy derivative contracts compared to the prior year and unrealized foreign exchange impacts associated with shareholder loans.
Depreciation expense totaling $1,693 million represents a decrease of $110 million over the same period in the prior year due to recently completed asset sales.
Income tax recovery represents a decrease of $305 million over the same period in the prior year primarily due to withholding tax related to the redemption of convertible securities in an Indian renewable power platform and the simplification of Neoen's organizational structure that resulted in a deferred income tax recovery of $161 million benefiting the prior year.
Net loss totaling $942 million represents a decrease of $976 million over the prior year due to the above noted items and the revaluation of property, plant, and equipment associated with the recognition of tax credits, partially offset by stamp duties levied in the prior year upon reaching prescribed ownership thresholds in certain jurisdictions Neoen operates.

Property, plant and equipment & Equity-accounted investments
Property, plant and equipment totaled $75.5 billion as at September 30, 2026 compared to $70.5 billion as at December 31, 2025, representing an increase of $5.0 billion. Our acquisition of Boralex, a fully integrated developer and operator of renewable power assets across Canada, the U.S., France, and the U.K., increased property, plant and equipment by $5.6 billion. Our continued investments in the development of power generating assets increased property, plant and equipment by $4.3 billion and the appreciation of most currencies against the U.S. dollar increased property, plant and equipment by $1.8 billion. These increases were partially offset by disposals and assets reclassified to held for sale that decreased property, plant and equipment by $5.0 billion and depreciation expense that decreased property, plant and equipment by $1.7 billion.
Equity-accounted investments totaled $4.6 billion as at September 30, 2026, compared to $4.1 billion as at December 31, 2025, representing an increase of $0.5 billion, primarily related to the acquisition of Boralex, partially offset by distributions and the partial monetization of a renewable power operating and development platform in India.
Assets held for sale and Liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale
Assets held for sale and Liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale totaled $3.1 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, as at September 30, 2026 and are comprised of a 420 MW portfolio of operating wind and solar assets in Europe, a portfolio including 118 MW of operating hydroelectric assets and 100 MW of operating solar assets in Colombia, a portfolio including 110 MW of operating hydroelectric assets and 134 MW of operating solar assets in Colombia, a 246 MW portfolio of operating solar assets in the U.S., a 242 MW portfolio of operating solar assets in El Salvador, and a 40 MW development solar asset in the U.K.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Brookfield Renewable's related party transactions are in the normal course of business and are recorded at the exchange amount. Brookfield Renewable's related party transactions are primarily with Brookfield and their related parties.
Brookfield Renewable sells electricity to Brookfield through a single long-term PPA across Brookfield Renewable's New York hydroelectric facilities. Brookfield will support the price that Brookfield Renewable receives for energy generated by certain facilities in the U.S.
Brookfield Renewable has entered into voting agreements with Brookfield, whereby Brookfield Renewable gained control of the entities that own certain renewable power generating facilities. Brookfield Renewable has also entered into a voting agreement with its consortium partners in respect of Isagen, Neoen, and Boralex. The voting agreements provide Brookfield Renewable the authority to direct the election of the Boards of Directors of the relevant entities, among other things, and therefore provide Brookfield Renewable with control. Accordingly, Brookfield Renewable consolidates the accounts of these entities.
Brookfield Renewable participates with institutional partners in Brookfield Americas Infrastructure Fund, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund II, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund III, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund IV, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund V, Brookfield Infrastructure Income Fund, Brookfield Infrastructure Debt Fund, Brookfield Global Transition Fund I, Brookfield Global Transition Fund II, and The Catalytic Transition Fund ("Private Funds"). Brookfield Renewable, together with our institutional partners, has access to financing under Brookfield sponsored credit facilities.
From time to time, in order to facilitate investment activities in a timely and efficient manner, Brookfield Renewable will fund deposits or incur other costs and expenses (including by use of loan facilities to consummate, support, guarantee or issue letters of credit) in respect of an investment that ultimately will be shared with or made entirely by Brookfield sponsored vehicles, consortiums and/or partnerships (including private funds, joint ventures and similar arrangements), Brookfield Renewable, or by co-investors.
Brookfield Corporation has provided a $400 million committed unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in December 2030 and the draws bear interest at Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a margin of 1.80%. During the current period, there were no draws on the committed unsecured revolving credit facility provided by Brookfield Corporation.
Brookfield Corporation may from time to time place funds on deposit with Brookfield Renewable, which are repayable on demand including any interest accrued. There were nil funds placed on deposit with Brookfield Renewable as at September 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025: nil). The interest expense on the Brookfield Corporation revolving credit facility and deposit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 totaled nil (2025: nil).
From time to time Brookfield Renewable may enter into short-term arrangements with private funds consolidated by Brookfield or associates of Brookfield Renewable that permit such entities to place funds on deposit with Brookfield Renewable up to a limit of $750 million per deposit. Interest earned or incurred on such deposits is between the interest rate that would otherwise be payable by Brookfield Renewable under its commercial paper program or credit facilities with unrelated parties and the interest rate that would otherwise be available to the applicable depositing party in similar transactions on an arms' length basis with unrelated parties. Each deposit carries a maturity date which must not exceed three months, however the private fund consolidated by Brookfield or associates of Brookfield Renewable may request repayment upon three business days' written notice.

(1)Average revenue per MWh was adjusted to net the impact of power purchases and any revenue with no corresponding generation.
Adjusted EBITDA and FFO across our hydroelectric business totaled $375 million and $214 million, respectively, versus $205 million and $119 million, respectively, in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA and FFO benefited from higher generation in Brazil, higher spot pricing in Colombia caused by lower system-wide hydrology and gains on the sale of non-core assets in the U.S. and Colombia. Results were partially offset by weaker same-store generation in Canada and Colombia and higher interest expense from our upfinancing activities across the fleet over the past year.

(1)Other corresponds to amounts that are not related to the revenue earning activities and are not normal, recurring cash operating expenses necessary for business operations. Other also includes derivative and other revaluations and settlements, gains or losses on debt extinguishment/modification, transaction costs, legal, provisions, amortization of concession assets and Brookfield Renewable's economic share of foreign currency hedges and other hedges, income earned on financial assets and structured investments in sustainable solutions, monetization of tax attributes at certain development projects over the long-term, realized disposition gains and losses on assets that we developed and/or did not intend to hold over the long-term, and gains on equity transactions that are included within Adjusted EBITDA. Refer to Note 4 - Disposal of assets and Note 6 - Risk management and financial instruments in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, for more details.
(2)Amount attributable to equity accounted investments corresponds to the Adjusted EBITDA to Brookfield Renewable that are generated by its investments in associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method. Amounts attributable to non-controlling interest are calculated based on the economic ownership interest held by non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries, excluding amounts attributable to Unitholders. By adjusting Adjusted EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interest, Brookfield Renewable is able to remove the portion of Adjusted EBITDA earned at non-wholly owned subsidiaries that are not attributable to Brookfield Renewable.

CONTRACT PROFILE
We operate our power business on a largely contracted basis to provide a high degree of predictability in Funds From Operations. We maintain a long-term view that electricity prices and the demand for electricity will rise due to electrification of the global economy including segments like industrial and transportation as well as from increasing digitalization. We also expect demand for clean power to grow as renewables are the cheapest form of bulk electricity generation, on the increasing level of acceptance around climate change and the legislated requirements in some areas to diversify away from fossil fuel based generation.
In Brazil and Colombia, we also expect power prices will continue to be supported by the need to build new supply over the medium-to-long term to serve growing demand and therefore we would expect to capture rising prices as we re-contract our power over the medium-term.
The following table sets out our power contracts over the next five years for generation output in North America, Brazil, Europe and certain other countries, assuming long-term average on a proportionate basis. The table excludes the Brazil and Colombia hydroelectric portfolios, where we would expect the energy associated with maturing contracts to be re-contracted in the normal course given the construct of the respective power markets. In these countries, for the remainder of 2026 we currently have a contracted profile of approximately 90% and 70%, respectively, of the long-term average. Overall, our power portfolio has a weighted-average remaining contract duration of 12 years on a proportionate basis.

(1)Includes generation of 125 GWh for 2026 and 334 GWh for 2027 under financial contracts.
Weighted-average remaining contract durations on a proportionate basis are 13 years in North America, 17 years in Europe, 10 years in Brazil, 5 years in Colombia, and 15 years across our remaining jurisdictions.
In North America, over the next five years, a number of contracts will expire at our hydroelectric facilities. Based on current market prices for energy and ancillary products, we expect a net positive impact to cash flows.
In our Colombian portfolio, we continue to focus on securing long-term contracts while maintaining a certain percentage of uncontracted generation to mitigate hydrology risk.
The majority of Brookfield Renewable's long-term power purchase agreements within our North American and European businesses are with investment-grade rated or creditworthy counterparties. The economic exposure of our contracted generation on a proportionate basis is distributed as follows: power authorities (35%), distribution companies (21%), commercial & industrial users (33%) and Brookfield (11%).

PART 5 - LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CAPITALIZATION
A key element of our financing strategy is to raise the majority of our debt in the form of asset-specific, non-recourse borrowings at our subsidiaries on an investment-grade basis with no maintenance covenants. Substantially all of our debt is either investment grade rated or sized to investment grade and approximately 90% of debt is project level.
The following table summarizes our capitalization:

We maintain a strong, investment grade balance sheet characterized by a conservative capital structure, access to multiple funding levers including a focus on capital recycling on an opportunistic basis, and diverse sources of capital. Principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, our credit facilities, up-financings on non-recourse borrowings and proceeds from the issuance of various securities through public markets.

(1)Draws on corporate credit facilities and commercial paper issuances are excluded from the debt repayment schedule as they are not a permanent source of capital.
(2)Medium term and Hybrid notes are unsecured and guaranteed by Brookfield Renewable and excludes $26 million (2025: $23 million) of deferred financing fees, net of unamortized premiums and discounts.
(3)Includes our proportionate share of principal repayments from our investment in a nuclear services business, which is recognized as an equity-accounted investment by Brookfield.
We remain focused on refinancing near-term facilities on acceptable terms and maintaining a manageable maturity ladder. We do not anticipate material issues in refinancing our borrowings through 2030 on acceptable terms and will do so opportunistically based on the prevailing interest rate environment.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
We fund growth capital expenditures with cash flow generated from operations, supplemented by non-recourse debt sized to investment grade coverage and covenant thresholds. This is designed to ensure that our investments have stable capital structures supported by a substantial level of equity and that cash flows at the asset level can be remitted freely to our company. This strategy also underpins our investment grade profile.
To fund large scale development projects and acquisitions, we will evaluate a variety of capital sources including proceeds from selling mature businesses, in addition to raising money in the capital markets through equity, debt and preferred share issuances. Furthermore, we have $2.5 billion of committed revolving credit facilities available for investments and acquisitions, as well as funding the equity component of organic growth initiatives. The facilities are intended, and have historically been used, as a bridge to a long-term financing strategy rather than a permanent source of capital.

(1)Other corresponds to amounts that are not related to the revenue earning activities and are not normal, recurring cash operating expenses necessary for business operations. Other also includes derivative and other revaluations and settlements, gains or losses on debt extinguishment/modification, transaction costs, legal, provisions, amortization of concession assets and Brookfield Renewable's economic share of foreign currency hedges and other hedges, income earned on financial assets and structured investments in sustainable solutions, monetization of tax attributes at certain development projects over the long-term, realized disposition gains and losses on assets that we developed and/or did not intend to hold over the long-term, and gains on equity transactions that are included within Adjusted EBITDA. Refer to Note 4 - Disposal of assets and Note 6 - Risk management and financial instruments in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, for more details.
(2)Amount attributable to equity accounted investments corresponds to the Adjusted EBITDA to Brookfield Renewable that are generated by its investments in associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method. Amounts attributable to non-controlling interest are calculated based on the economic ownership interest held by non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries, excluding amounts attributable to Unitholders. By adjusting Adjusted EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interest, Brookfield Renewable is able to remove the portion of Adjusted EBITDA earned at non-wholly owned subsidiaries that are not attributable to Brookfield Renewable.

PART 7 - CRITICAL ESTIMATES, ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS
CRITICAL ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS, which require the use of estimates and judgments in reporting assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and contingencies. In the judgment of management, none of the estimates outlined in Note 1 - Basis of preparation and material accounting policy information in our audited consolidated financial statements are considered critical accounting estimates as defined in Canadian National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations with the exception of the estimates related to the valuation of property, plant and equipment, financial instruments, deferred income tax liabilities, decommissioning liabilities and impairment of goodwill. These assumptions include estimates of future electricity prices, discount rates, expected long-term average generation, inflation rates, terminal year, the amount and timing of operating and capital costs, forecasted development MWs per annum, future leverage assumptions, and the income tax rates of future income tax provisions. Estimates also include determination of accruals, provisions, purchase price allocations, useful lives, asset valuations, asset impairment testing and those relevant to the defined benefit pension and non-pension benefit plans. Estimates are based on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
In making estimates, management relies on external information and observable conditions where possible, supplemented by internal analysis, as required. These estimates have been applied in a manner consistent with that in the prior year and there are no known trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that we believe will materially affect the methodology or assumptions utilized in this report. These estimates are impacted by, among other things, future power prices, movements in interest rates, foreign exchange volatility and other factors, some of which are highly uncertain, as described in the "Risk Factors" section included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F. The interrelated nature of these factors prevents us from quantifying the overall impact of these movements on Brookfield Renewable's financial statements in a meaningful way. These sources of estimation uncertainty relate in varying degrees to substantially all asset and liability account balances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements ("IFRS 18")
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 18 is expected to improve the quality of financial reporting by requiring defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, requiring disclosure about management-defined performance measures, and adding new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. Brookfield Renewable is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its presentation and disclosures.
IFRS 20 - Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities ("IFRS 20")
In May 2026, the IASB issued IFRS 20, Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities. IFRS 20 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2029, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 20 sets out the requirements for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of regulatory assets, regulatory liabilities, regulatory income and regulatory expense, enabling users of financial statements to understand the total allowed compensation for regulatory goods or services supplied in each reporting period and the related rights and obligations. Brookfield Renewable is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its presentation and disclosures.
There are currently no other future changes to IFRS Accounting Standards with a potential material impact on Brookfield Renewable.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
No changes were made in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to the quarter, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, completed the sale of a portfolio including 118 MW of operating hydroelectric and 100 MW of operating solar assets in Colombia for proceeds of approximately COP1,610 billion ($426 million) (COP601 billion ($159 million) net to Brookfield Renewable).
Subsequent to the quarter, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, agreed to the sale of a 40 MW development solar asset in the U.K. for proceeds of approximately £32 million ($42 million) (£8 million ($11 million) net to Brookfield Renewable). The closing of this transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.
Subsequent to the quarter, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, completed the sale of a 246 MW portfolio of operating solar assets in the U.S. for proceeds of approximately $127 million ($25 million net to Brookfield Renewable).
Subsequent to the quarter, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, completed the acquisition of a 100% interest in a fully integrated developer and operator of battery energy storage systems and co-located utility-scale solar assets in the U.S., with 3.1 GW of operating and under construction assets and an over 20 GW development pipeline for equity consideration of approximately $2.9 billion ($400 million net to Brookfield Renewable).
Subsequent to the quarter, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, completed the acquisition of a 350 MW portfolio of development wind assets in the U.K. for total consideration of approximately £28 million ($37 million) (£5 million ($7 million) net to Brookfield Renewable).
Subsequent to the quarter, Brookfield Renewable Corporation received shareholder approval to simplify its corporate structure by converting Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. and Brookfield Renewable Corporation into one publicly traded corporation. The simplification is subject to customary regulatory approvals as well as unitholder approval.

PART 8 - PRESENTATION TO STAKEHOLDERS AND PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
PRESENTATION TO PUBLIC STAKEHOLDERS
Equity
Brookfield Renewable's consolidated equity interests include (i) non-voting publicly traded LP units, held by public unitholders and Brookfield, (ii) BEPC exchangeable shares, held by public shareholders and Brookfield Holders, (iii) class A.2 exchangeable shares, held by Brookfield, (iv) Redeemable/Exchangeable Limited partnership units in BRELP, a holding subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable, held by Brookfield, and (v) the GP interest in BRELP, held by Brookfield.
The LP units, the BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and the Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units have the same economic attributes in all respects, except that the BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares provide the holder, and the Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units provide Brookfield, the right to request that all or a portion of such shares or units be redeemed for cash consideration. Brookfield Renewable, however, has the right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy any such redemption request related to Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units and BEPC exchangeable shares with LP units, rather than cash, on a one-for-one basis. Similarly, Brookfield Renewable has the right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy any such redemption request related to class A.2 exchangeable shares with BEPC exchangeable shares or LP units, at the election of Brookfield, rather than cash, on a on-for-one basis. The public holders of BEPC exchangeable shares, and Brookfield Holders, as holder of BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, participates in earnings and distributions on a per unit basis equivalent to the per unit participation of the LP units. Because Brookfield Renewable, at its sole discretion, has the right to settle any redemption request in respect of BEPC exchangeable shares and Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units with LP units and any redemption request in respect of class A.2 exchangeable shares with BEPC exchangeable shares or LP units, at the election of Brookfield, the BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units are classified under equity, and not as a liability.
Given the exchange feature referenced above, we are presenting LP units, BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares, Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, and GP Interest as separate components of consolidated equity. This presentation does not impact the total income (loss), per unit or share information, or total consolidated equity.
Actual and Long-term Average Generation
For assets acquired, disposed or reaching commercial operation during the year, reported generation is calculated from the acquisition, disposition or commercial operation date and is not annualized. Generation on a same store basis refers to the generation of assets that were owned during both periods presented. As it relates to Colombia only, generation includes both hydroelectric and cogeneration facilities. Distributed energy & storage includes generation from our distributed generation and pumped storage assets.
North America hydroelectric long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulation based on historical inflow data performed over a period of typically 30 years. Colombia hydroelectric long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulation based on historical inflow data performed over a period of typically 20 years. For substantially all of our hydroelectric assets in Brazil the long-term average is based on the reference amount of electricity allocated to our facilities under the market framework which levelizes generation risk across producers. Wind long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of simulated historical wind speed data performed over a period of typically 10 years. Utility-scale solar long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulation using historical irradiance levels in the locations of our projects from the last 14 to 20 years combined with actual generation data during the operational period.
We compare actual generation levels against the long-term average to highlight the impact of an important factor that affects the variability of our business results. In the short-term, we recognize that hydrology, wind and irradiance conditions will vary from one period to the next; over time however, we expect our facilities will continue to produce in line with their long-term averages, which have proven to be reliable indicators of performance.
Our risk of a generation shortfall in Brazil continues to be minimized by participation in the MRE administered by the government of Brazil. This program mitigates hydrology risk by assuring that all participants receive, at any particular point in time, an assured energy amount, irrespective of the actual volume of energy generated. The program reallocates

energy, transferring surplus energy from those who generated an excess to those who generate less than their assured energy, up to the total generation within the pool. Periodically, low precipitation across the entire country's system could result in a temporary reduction of generation available for sale. During these periods, we expect that a higher proportion of thermal generation would be needed to balance supply and demand in the country, potentially leading to higher overall spot market prices.
Generation from our pumped storage and cogeneration facilities in North America is highly dependent on market price conditions rather than the generating capacity of the facilities. For this reason, we do not consider a long-term average for these facilities.
Voting Agreements with Affiliates
Brookfield Renewable has entered into voting agreements with Brookfield, whereby Brookfield Renewable gained control or have significant influence over the entities that own certain renewable power and sustainable solutions investments. Brookfield Renewable has also entered into a voting agreement with its consortium partners in respect of Isagen, Neoen, and Boralex. The voting agreements provide Brookfield Renewable the authority to direct the election of the Boards of Directors of the relevant entities, among other things, and therefore provide Brookfield Renewable with control. Accordingly, Brookfield Renewable consolidates the accounts of these entities.
For entities previously controlled by Brookfield Corporation, the voting agreements entered into do not represent business combinations in accordance with IFRS 3, as all combining businesses are ultimately controlled by Brookfield Corporation both before and after the transactions were completed. Brookfield Renewable accounts for these transactions involving entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interest, which requires the presentation of pre-voting agreement financial information as if the transactions had always been in place. Refer to Note 1(s)(ii) - Critical judgments in applying accounting policies - Common control transactions in our December 31, 2025 audited consolidated financial statements for our policy on accounting for transactions under common control.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
Segment Information
Our operations are segmented by - 1) hydroelectric, 2) wind, 3) utility-scale solar, 4) distributed energy and storage (distributed generation, pumped storage and battery energy storage systems), 5) sustainable solutions (nuclear services, renewable natural gas, carbon capture and storage, recycling, cogeneration, eFuels, and power transformation), and 6) corporate. This best reflects the way in which the CODM reviews results of Brookfield Renewable.
We report our results in accordance with these segments and present prior period segmented information in a consistent manner. See Note 7 - Segmented information in our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
One of our primary business objectives is to generate stable and growing cash flows while minimizing risk for the benefit of all stakeholders. We monitor our performance in this regard through three key metrics - i) Net Income (Loss), ii) Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), and iii) Funds From Operations.
It is important to highlight that Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and have limitations as analytical tools. We provide additional information below on how we determine Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations. We also provide reconciliations to Net income (loss). See "Part 4 - Financial Performance Review on Proportionate Information - Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures" and "Part 6 - Selected Quarterly Information - Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures".
Proportionate Information
Reporting to the CODM on the measures utilized to assess performance and allocate resources has been provided on a proportionate basis. Information on a proportionate basis reflects Brookfield Renewable's share from facilities which it accounts for using consolidation and the equity method, whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or exercises significant influence or joint control over the investment, respectively. Proportionate information provides a Unitholder perspective that the CODM considers important when performing internal analyses and making strategic and operating decisions. The CODM also believes that providing proportionate information helps investors understand the impacts of decisions made by management and financial results that can be allocated to Unitholders.

Proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Tables reconciling IFRS data with data presented on a proportionate basis have been disclosed. Segment revenues, other income, direct operating costs, interest expense, current income taxes, and other are items that will differ from results presented in accordance with IFRS as these items (1) include Brookfield Renewable's proportionate share of earnings (loss) from equity-accounted investments and its financial asset in nuclear services, which is recognized as an equity-accounted investment by Brookfield, attributable to each of the above-noted items, (2) exclude the proportionate share of earnings (loss) of consolidated investments not held by us apportioned to each of the above-noted items, and (3) other income includes but is not limited to our proportionate share of settled foreign currency and other hedges, income earned on financial assets and structured investments in sustainable solutions, monetization of tax attributes at certain development projects and realized disposition gains on non-core assets and on recently developed assets that we have monetized to reflect the economic value created from our development activities as we design, build and commercialize new renewable energy capacity and sell these assets to lower cost of capital buyers which may not otherwise be reflected in our consolidated statements of income.
The presentation of proportionate results has limitations as an analytical tool, including the following:
•The amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses; and
•Other companies may calculate proportionate results differently than we do.
Because of these limitations, our proportionate financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial statements as reported under IFRS.
Brookfield Renewable does not control those entities that have not been consolidated and as such, have been presented as equity-accounted investments in its financial statements. The presentation of the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses do not represent Brookfield Renewable's legal claim to such items, and the removal of financial statement amounts that are attributable to non-controlling interests does not extinguish Brookfield Renewable's legal claims or exposures to such items.
Unless the context indicates or requires otherwise, information with respect to the megawatts ("MW") attributable to Brookfield Renewable's facilities, including development assets, is presented on a consolidated basis, including with respect to facilities whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or jointly controls the applicable facility.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income (loss) is calculated in accordance with IFRS.
Net income (loss) is an important measure of profitability, in particular because it has a standardized meaning under IFRS. The presentation of net income (loss) on an IFRS basis for our business will often lead to the recognition of a loss even though the underlying cash flows generated by the assets are supported by strong margins and stable, long-term power purchase agreements. The primary reason for this is that accounting rules require us to recognize a significantly higher level of depreciation for our assets than we are required to reinvest in the business as sustaining capital expenditures.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure used by investors to analyze the operating performance of companies.
Brookfield Renewable uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of its operations before the effects of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, management service costs, non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash income or loss from equity-accounted investments, distributions to preferred shareholders, preferred limited partnership unit holders, perpetual subordinated noteholders and other typical non-recurring items. Brookfield Renewable adjusts for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and/or are not factors used by management for evaluating operating performance. Brookfield Renewable includes other income within Adjusted EBITDA in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in the current period.
Brookfield Renewable believes that presentation of this measure will enhance an investor's ability to evaluate its financial and operating performance on an allocable basis.

Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations is a non-IFRS measure used by investors to analyze net earnings from operations without the effects of certain volatile items that generally have no current financial impact or items not directly related to the performance of Brookfield Renewable.
Brookfield Renewable uses Funds From Operations to assess the performance of Brookfield Renewable before the effects of certain cash items (e.g. acquisition costs and other typical non-recurring cash items) and certain non-cash items (e.g. deferred income taxes, depreciation, non-cash portion of non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash gain or loss from equity-accounted investments, and other non-cash items) as these are not reflective of the performance of the underlying business. Brookfield Renewable includes other income in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in the current period. In the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Brookfield Renewable, the revaluation approach is used in accordance with IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, whereby depreciation is determined based on a revalued amount, thereby reducing comparability with peers who do not report under IFRS as issued by the IASB or who do not employ the revaluation approach to measuring property, plant and equipment. Management adds back deferred income taxes on the basis that they do not believe this item reflects the present value of the actual tax obligations that they expect Brookfield Renewable to incur over the long-term investment horizon of Brookfield Renewable.
Brookfield Renewable believes that analysis and presentation of Funds From Operations on this basis will enhance an investor's understanding of the performance of Brookfield Renewable. Funds From Operations is not a substitute measure of performance for earnings per share and does not represent amounts available for distribution.
Funds From Operations is not a generally accepted accounting measure under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Funds From Operations used by other entities, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association of Canada ("REALPAC") and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT"). Furthermore, this measure is not used by the CODM to assess Brookfield Renewable's liquidity.
Proportionate Debt
Proportionate debt is presented based on the proportionate share of borrowings obligations relating to the investments of Brookfield Renewable in various portfolio businesses. The proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Proportionate debt measures are provided because management believes it assists investors and analysts in estimating the overall performance and understanding the leverage pertaining specifically to Brookfield Renewables's share of its invested capital in a given investment. When used in conjunction with Proportionate Adjusted EBITDA, proportionate debt is expected to provide useful information as to how Brookfield Renewable has financed its businesses at the asset-level. Management believes that the proportionate presentation, when read in conjunction with Brookfield Renewable's reported results under IFRS, including consolidated debt, provides a more meaningful assessment of how the operations of Brookfield Renewable are performing and capital is being managed. The presentation of proportionate results has limitations as an analytical tool, including the following:
•Proportionate debt amounts do not represent the consolidated obligation for debt underlying a consolidated investment. If an individual project does not generate sufficient cash flows to service the entire amount of its debt payments, management may determine, in their discretion, to pay the shortfall through an equity injection to avoid defaulting on the obligation. Such a shortfall may not be apparent from or may not equal the difference between aggregate Proportionate Adjusted EBITDA for all of the portfolio investments of Brookfield Renewable and aggregate proportionate debt for all of the portfolio investments of Brookfield Renewable; and
•Other companies may calculate proportionate debt differently.
Because of these limitations, the proportionate financial information of Brookfield Renewable should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial statements of Brookfield Renewable as reported under IFRS.
