RECENT DEVELOPMENTSOrganization PrioritiesSecond Quarter Highlights
• Earnings per share (EPS) of $0.26 and adjusted EPS of $0.26, compared to $0.34 and $0.33, respectively, for the same period in 2018, a decrease of 24% and 21%, reflecting less favourable weather, higher financing costs due to the issuance of long-term debt, and an increase in operation, maintenance and administration (OM&A) costs due to increase in vegetation management work and higher emergency power restoration costs in the quarter.
• Distribution reliability continued to improve in the second quarter of 2019 versus the same quarter last year by approximately 18%. The improved reliability was partly the result of our Optimal Cycle Protocol vegetation management program.
• In the first half of 2019, distribution customer satisfaction score with residential and small businesses reached 85%, a 9% increase over 2018, and the highest in 10 years.
• Hydro One was requested by the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) to build a new transmission line from Chatham to Leamington. This project shows the Company’s continued commitment to and advocacy for its customers and its goal of supporting economic growth. Also, due to the increased load, this project is expected to help lower customer rates.
• The Company published its sustainability report that demonstrates a positive trend, and was recognized as one of the Best 50 Corporate Citizens in Canada by Corporate Knights.
• Senior management strength enhanced with the appointments of Paul Harricks as Chief Legal Officer and Saylor Millitz-Lee as Chief Human Resources Officer, along with the previously announced appointment of Chris Lopez as the Chief Financial Officer.
• Organized transition of Chair of the Board of Directors with the announced resignation of Tom Woods and the appointment of Tim Hodgson.
• Quarterly dividend declared at $0.2415 per share, payable September 30, 2019.

(1) On December 10, 2018, S&P placed the issuer credit rating on Hydro One and the issue-level rating on Hydro One Inc.'s senior unsecured debt on negative outlook due to uncertainty about Hydro One’s ability to convert its strategy into constructive actions that support the Company's financial performance, broader concerns related to Hydro One’s governance, and uncertainty regarding the Company's strategic direction.
(2) The Universal Base Shelf Prospectus allows Hydro One to offer, from time to time in one or more public offerings, up to $4.0 billion of debt, equity or other securities, or any combination thereof, during the 25-month period ending on July 18, 2020. At June 30, 2019, no securities have been issued under the Universal Base Shelf Prospectus. Hydro One Limited filed the Universal Base Shelf Prospectus to provide the Company with financing flexibility going forward.
(3) At June 30, 2019, $2.9 billion was drawn from the Medium Term Note Shelf, leaving $1.1 billion available for issuance until April 2020.

DISCLAIMERSDISCLAIMERS In this presentation, all amounts are in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated. Any graphs, tables or other information in this presentation demonstrating the historical performance of the Company or any other entity contained in this presentation are intended only to illustrate past performance of such entitles and are not necessarily indicative of future performance of Hydro One. In this presentation, “Hydro One” refers to Hydro One Limited and its subsidiaries and other investments, taken together as a whole.
Forward-Looking Information
This presentation contains “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking information in this presentation is based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about Hydro One’s business and the industry in which Hydro One operates and includes beliefs of and assumptions made by management. Such statements include, but are not limited to: statements regarding ongoing and planned projects and initiatives, including anticipated timing and impacts; statements related to vegetation management; statements about consolidation; statements relating to our sustainability program; statements related to dividends; statements regarding future equity issuances; expectations regarding planned or expected capital investments; statements related to rate applications, proceedings, anticipated regulatory decisions and impacts; statements related to the Universal Shelf and the Medium Term Note Shelf; statements related to credit ratings; statements related to the Ontario Climate Change Action Plan; statements about growth, creation of value and efficiency realization; and statements and projections regarding rate base, cash flows, and borrowings.
Words such as “aim”, “could”, “would”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “attempt”, “may”, “plan”, “will”, “believe”, “seek”, “estimate”, “goal”, “target”, and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking information. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve assumptions and risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward-looking information. Hydro One does not intend, and it disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking information, except as required by law.
The forward-looking information in this presentation is based on a variety of factors and assumptions, as described in the financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis. Actual results may differ materially from those predicted by such forward-looking information. While Hydro One does not know what impact any of these differences may have, Hydro One’s business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected if any such differences occur. Factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by forward-looking information are described in the financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis.
Non-GAAP Measures Hydro One prepares and presents its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. “Funds from Operations” or “FFO”, “Adjusted Net Income”, “Revenue Net of Purchased Power” and “Adjusted Earnings Per Share” are not recognized measures under U.S. GAAP and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by U.S. GAAP. These are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Funds from Operations should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of Hydro One’s financial information reported under U.S. GAAP. “Funds from Operations” or “FFO” is defined as net cash from operating activities, adjusted for the following: (i) changes in non-cash balances related to operations, (ii) dividends paid on preferred shares, and (iii) non-controlling interest distributions. Management believes that these measures will be helpful as a supplemental measure of the Company’s operating cash flows and earnings. For more information, see “Non-GAAP Measures” in Hydro One’s 2018 full year MD&A.
