Net income and Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased in 2026 primarily due to lower generation volumes and lower average realized power prices in the second quarter of 2026. Partially offsetting the unfavourable variance to net income were higher unrealized gains on commodity swaps in the second quarter of 2026.As a result of lower average Alberta market power pricing in the second quarter of 2026, M2 spent more time offline, or at lower output levels, to avoid uneconomic dispatch hours. M2, through its efficient combined cycle gas turbine configuration, demonstrated significant operational efficiency and flexibility throughout the quarter, the result of which helped minimize negative financial impact from prolonged uneconomic periods.On April 29, 2025, MAXIM, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Milner Power Inc. (“Milner”), entered into a ground lease at the Milner site with Mine 14 Operations Inc (“Mine 14 Ops”) to allow for construction and operation of a coal processing facility. On July 14, 2026, Mine 14 Ops issued a notice of termination under the ground lease providing for fourteen months notice of its termination of the ground lease in accordance with the terms of the ground lease. As such the ground lease will terminate on September 14, 2027. Mine 14 Ops continues to be obligated to pay rent of $0.3 million per month up to September 2027. As a result of the termination, there is no longer a potential benefit to MAXIM from the variable throughput payment which would have been payable under the ground lease if a coal processing facility was constructed and operational on the leased lands.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Management evaluates MAXIM’s performance using a variety of measures. Adjusted EBITDA and FCF, as discussed below are non-GAAP measures and should not be considered as an alternative to or to be more meaningful than net income of the Corporation, as determined in accordance with GAAP, when assessing MAXIM’s financial performance or liquidity. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.Adjusted EBITDA is provided to assist management and investors in determining the Corporation’s approximate operating cash flows attributable to shareholders before finance expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain other non-recurring or non-cash income and expenses. Financing expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization are excluded from the Adjusted EBITDA calculation, as they do not represent cash expenditures that are directly affected by operations. Management believes that presentation of this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors and shareholders as it assists in the evaluation of performance trends. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to compare financial results among reporting periods and to evaluate MAXIM’s operating performance and ability to generate funds from operating activities.

In both 2026 and 2025, Adjusted EBITDA excluded unrealized gains or losses on commodity swaps, share-based compensation and all items of other income.

FCF is an important metric as it represents the amount of cash that is available to potentially invest in growth initiatives, pay dividends and repurchase shares. In calculating FCF for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, management uses the funds generated from operating activities before change in non-cash working capital for the period and deducts property, plant and equipment additions, repayment of loans and borrowings, interest expense and bank charges and adds interest income.MAXIM defines net debt as loans and borrowings less unrestricted cash.Based in Calgary, Alberta, MAXIM is one of Canada’s largest truly independent power producers. MAXIM is now focused entirely on power projects in Alberta. Its core asset – the 300 MW H.R. Milner Plant, M2, in Grande Cache, AB – is a state-of-the-art combined cycle gas-fired power plant that commissioned in Q4, 2023. MAXIM continues to explore additional development options in Alberta including its currently permitted gas-fired generation project and the permitting of its wind power generation project.
