In all its operations, Fortis will manage resources prudently and deliver quality service to maximize value to customers and shareholders. The Corporation will continue to focus on three primary objectives: i) The growth in assets and market capitalization should be greater than the average of other North American public gas and electric utilities of similar size. ii) Earnings should continue at a rate commensurate with that of a well-run North American utility. iii) The financial and business risks of Fortis should not be substantially greater than those associated with the operation of a North American utility of similar size.

FORTIS INC. 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 3 Report to Shareholders For the 11th consecutive year, Fortis has delivered record earnings to our shareholders. Net earnings attributable to common equity shareholders were $285 million, $23 million higher than earnings of $262 million in 2009. Earnings per common share were $1.65 in 2010 compared to $1.54 in 2009. Performance was driven by our Canadian Regulated Utilities and non-regulated hydroelectric generation operations. Tempering results year over year were lower earnings from Caribbean Regulated Electric Utilities and higher corporate expenses. Fortis has raised its annualized dividend to common shareholders for 38 consecutive years, the record for a public corporation in Canada. Dividends paid per common share were $1.12 in 2010, up 7.7% from Stan Marshall, President and CEO, Fortis Inc. David Norris, Chair of the Board, Fortis Inc. $1.04 paid per common share in the previous year. The dividend payout ratio was approximately 68% in 2010. Fortis increased its quarterly common share dividend to 29 cents, or $1.16 on an annualized basis, commencing with the first quarter dividend paid in 2011. Over the past 10 years, Fortis delivered an average annualized total return to shareholders of 18%, the highest in our sector. The Corporation’s average annualized total return also exceeded the S&P/TSX Capped Utilities Index and S&P/TSX Composite Index, which delivered average annualized performance of 11% and 7%, respectively, over the same period. Platts, a leading global provider of energy information, named Fortis a Platts Top 250 Global Energy Company for 2010. Fortis earned a ranking of 11 as one of the Top 50 Fastest-Growing Global Companies in the Platts Top 250 Global Energy Company rankings, and a ranking of 3 overall in the Fastest-Growing Americas Companies. Fortis is growing its non-regulated generation business in British Columbia with the construction of the $900 million 335-megawatt (“MW”) Waneta Expansion hydroelectric generating facility on the Pend d’Oreille River. Last October Fortis entered into a partnership with Columbia Power Corporation and Columbia Basin Trust, two wholly owned entities of the Government of British Columbia, to construct the facility. Fortis owns a 51% controlling interest in the partnership, which has negotiated 40-year power sales agreements with BC Hydro and FortisBC for the energy and capacity, respectively, to be generated by the Waneta Expansion.
