In 2025, more than 1.1 million Californians called 811 to locate and mark underground utility lines across SoCalGas's service territory, a 6% increase from the previous year and one of the highest levels of participation on record. As calls to the 811 program continue to grow, SoCalGas achieved its lowest damage rate on record, demonstrating the impact safe digging practices can have on protecting communities, workers and essential utility services. The increase in 811 participation coincides with a 32% reduction in dig-in incidents since 2019, underscoring the effectiveness of public awareness efforts, safe excavation practices and collaboration among homeowners, contractors, local agencies and utilities. The sustained increase in 811 requests also reflects the ongoing operational work required to locate and mark underground infrastructure across a large and active service territory, reinforcing the importance of continued public awareness, field response and damage prevention programs. \"The record calls we're seeing to the 811 program is making a real difference,\" said Cedric Williams, chief safety officer at SoCalGas. \"More people are taking the simple step of contacting 811 before digging, and the result is fewer damages to underground infrastructure and safer communities. National 811 Day is an opportunity to celebrate that progress while reminding everyone that every dig-in is preventable.\" While approximately 2,400 dig-in incidents were recorded in 2025, the company achieved its lowest damage rate on record despite continued excavation activity throughout the region, highlighting the positive impact of increased awareness and use of the 811 program. Despite this progress, nearly 60% of dig-in incidents in 2025 occurred because 811 was not called before excavation began, highlighting one of the most preventable causes of infrastructure damage. Data consistently show that contacting 811 before digging dramatically reduces the likelihood of damaging underground utilities. Additionally, approximately 70% of dig-in incidents occurred on private property, reinforcing the importance of homeowners calling 811 before starting common projects such as planting trees, installing fences, landscaping or building decks. Story Continues National 811 Day, observed annually on Aug. 11, serves as a reminder to contact 811 at least two business days before digging, excluding the day of notification. After a request is submitted, utility operators will mark the approximate location of underground utility lines, helping prevent injuries, property damage, service disruptions and costly repairs. The company's progress in damage prevention reflects its broader commitment to safety and operational excellence and the responsible management of critical energy infrastructure across Southern California. Whether planting trees, installing fences, building decks, landscaping or undertaking larger construction projects, SoCalGas encourages everyone to make calling 811 their first step before breaking ground. Know Before You Dig Before starting any digging project: Contact 811 or submit a request online. Wait for underground utility lines to be marked. Confirm all utility operators have responded. Dig carefully around marked utility lines. For more information about safe digging practices, visit socalgas.com/811.

Release Date: August 07, 2026 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp (NYSE:AQN) is on track to meet its adjusted net earnings per share forecast for 2026 and 2027, reflecting consistent execution and financial discipline. The company achieved significant regulatory progress, including the Missouri Public Service Commission approving implementation of $97 million in annualized revenue adjustments and a settlement in Kansas for an $8.8 million revenue adjustment. Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp (NYSE:AQN) received a constructive proposed decision in California for $58.1 million in wildfire cost recovery, approximately 75% of the requested amount, aligning with peer practices. The company obtained a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity for a 250 MW gas-fired generation project in Missouri, which will benefit from CWIP regulatory recovery, reducing regulatory lag. Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp (NYSE:AQN) plans to redomicile to the U.S., which is expected to eliminate cross-border tax frictions, reduce the effective tax rate, and potentially lead to inclusion in U.S. equity indices, enhancing shareholder value. The company maintains a strong balance sheet with no equity issuance expected through 2027, and successfully refinanced $1.15 billion in debt at Liberty Utilities, preserving its investment-grade credit ratings. Negative Points Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp (NYSE:AQN) reported a decline in adjusted net earnings for Q2 2026 ($29.2 million vs. $33.6 million in Q2 2025) and year-to-date ($128.8 million vs. $142.6 million), partly due to higher financing costs and operating expenses. The company recorded a $17.2 million writedown of a regulatory asset related to the California WEMA proceeding, reflecting only 75% recovery of wildfire costs, which was excluded from adjusted earnings. Higher interest expenses of $9.3 million in Q2, driven by new debt issuance and commercial paper usage, negatively impacted earnings. Operating expenses increased due to higher gas safety and excellence costs ($3.3 million in Q2, $6.3 million year-to-date) and higher labor, maintenance, and property tax expenses ($14.1 million year-to-date). Unfavorable weather conditions reduced year-to-date net revenues by $9.9 million compared to the prior year. The redomicile to the U.S. is expected to be a taxable event in Canada, potentially incurring one-time exit tax liabilities (including FIRPTA), the magnitude of which has not been disclosed, and requires regulatory approvals in multiple jurisdictions, adding execution risk. Story Continues Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with AQN. Is AQN fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. Q: Can you walk us through the conversations you've had with the IRS regarding the US redomicile, the expected tax implications, and the impact on the effective tax rate and cash taxes?A: Rob Stefani (CFO): We began discussions with the IRS earlier this year and filed for a private letter ruling, expecting a decision in the back half of the year. The redomicile eliminates two cash taxes: a 5% tax on the ~$200 million annual dividends sent up from utilities to Algonquin, and the BEAT tax, which is a ~10% tax on funds sent up to service holding company debt. We expect the effective tax rate to be lower moving forward, with approval targeted for the first half of 2027. Q: Between now and the targeted shareholder vote in the first half of 2027, are there any key regulatory, tax, or legal milestones that could influence the timing or economics of the redomicile?A: Rob Stefani (CFO): We expect an outcome from the IRS on the private letter ruling in the second half of the year. We also intend to pursue regulatory filings across several of our jurisdictions, which will be visible in the coming weeks.
