Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (“AQN” or the “Company”) is an incorporated entity under the Canada Business Corporations Act. AQN's operations are organized across two primary business units consisting of the Regulated Services Group and the Renewable Energy Group. The Regulated Services Group owns and operates a portfolio of regulated electric, natural gas, water distribution and wastewater collection utility systems and transmission operations in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Chile; the Renewable Energy Group owns and operates a diversified portfolio of non-regulated renewable and thermal electric generation assets.
1.Significant accounting policies
(a)Basis of preparation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and follow disclosure required under Regulation S-X provided by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are of a recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim operations.
The significant accounting policies applied to these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of AQN are consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of AQN as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021.
(b)Seasonality
AQN's operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations that could materially impact quarter-to-quarter operating results and, thus, one quarter's operating results are not necessarily indicative of a subsequent quarter's operating results. Where decoupling mechanisms exist, total volumetric revenue is prescribed by the applicable regulatory authority and is not affected by usage. AQN's electrical distribution utilities can experience higher or lower demand in the summer or winter depending on the specific regional weather and industry characteristics. During the winter period, natural gas distribution utilities generally experience higher demand than during the summer period. AQN’s water and wastewater utility assets’ revenues fluctuate depending on the demand for water, which is normally higher during drier and hotter months of the summer. AQN’s hydroelectric energy assets are primarily “run-of-river” and as such fluctuate with the natural water flows. During the winter and summer periods, flows are generally slower, while during the spring and fall periods flows are heavier. For AQN's wind energy assets, wind resources are typically stronger in spring, fall and winter, and weaker in summer. AQN's solar energy assets generally experience greater insolation in summer, weaker in winter.
(c)Foreign currency translation
AQN’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Within these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, the Company denotes any amounts denominated in Canadian dollars with “C$”, in Chilean pesos with "CLP" and in Chilean Unidad de Fomento with "CLF" immediately prior to the stated amount.
2. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
The FASB issued ASU 2021-05, Leases (Topic 842): Lessors — Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments to address concerns relating to day-one losses for sales-type or direct financing leases with variable payments that do not depend on a reference index or rate. The update amends the lease classification requirements for lessors to align them with past practice under Topic 840, Leases. The adoption of this update did not have an impact on the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
The FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity to address the complexity associated with accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock is being reduced and the guidance has been amended for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. The adoption of this update did not have an impact on the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

2. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements (continued)
The FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The amendments apply to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of the reference rate reform. The FASB issued an update to Topic 848 in ASU 2021-01 to clarify that the scope of Topic 848 includes derivatives affected by the discounting transition. The adoption of this update did not have an impact on the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
3.Business and assets acquisitions
Acquisition of New York American Water Company, Inc.
Effective January 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of New York American Water Company, Inc. (subsequently renamed Liberty Utilities (New York Water) Corp. (“Liberty NY Water”)). Liberty NY Water is a Merrick, New York based regulated water and wastewater utility company, serving customers in seven counties in southeastern New York.
A purchase price of $608,000 (before closing adjustments) was paid for this acquisition. The costs related to this acquisition have been expensed through the unaudited interim consolidated statement of operations. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the acquisition prices of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:
| | | | | |
| |
Working capital | $ | 4,703 | |
Property, plant and equipment | 517,591 | |
Goodwill | 95,181 | |
Regulatory assets | 68,379 | |
Other assets | 4,507 | |
| |
Pension and other post-employment obligations | (13,402) | |
Regulatory liabilities | (59,636) | |
Other liabilities | (8,026) | |
Total net assets acquired | 609,297 | |
Cash and cash equivalents | 49 | |
Net assets acquired, net of cash and cash equivalents | $ | 609,248 | |
The determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based upon management's estimates and certain assumptions. Due to the timing of the acquisition, the Company has not finalized the fair value measurements. The fair value of property, plant and equipment was reduced by $9,194 in Q2 2022 to reflect the time value of money of assets that will not be included in rate base until the next rate case. The valuation of regulatory assets and liabilities and deferred income taxes have not been completed. The Company will continue to review information and perform further analysis prior to finalizing the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair value of net assets acquired. The contributing factors to the amount recorded as goodwill include future growth, potential synergies, and cost savings in the delivery of certain shared administrative and other services.
4.Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable as at June 30, 2022 include unbilled revenue of $85,928 (December 31, 2021 - $102,693) from the Company’s regulated utilities. Accounts receivable as at June 30, 2022 are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $24,521 (December 31, 2021 - $19,327).

5.Regulatory matters
The operating companies within the Regulated Services Group are subject to regulation by the respective authorities of the jurisdictions in which they operate. The respective public utility commissions have jurisdiction with respect to rate, service, accounting policies, issuance of securities, acquisitions and other matters. Except for ESSAL, these utilities operate under cost-of-service regulation as administered by these authorities. The Company’s regulated utility operating companies are accounted for under the principles of ASC 980, Regulated Operations. Under ASC 980, regulatory assets and liabilities that would not be recorded under U.S. GAAP for non-regulated entities are recorded to the extent that they represent probable future revenue or expenses associated with certain charges or credits that will be recovered from or refunded to customers through the rate setting process.
At any given time, the Company can have several regulatory proceedings underway. The financial effects of these proceedings are reflected in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements based on regulatory approval obtained to the extent that there is a financial impact during the applicable reporting period.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Utility | State or country | Regulatory proceeding type | Details |
Empire Electric System | Missouri | General rate review | On April 6, 2022, the regulator approved an annual base rate revenue increase of $35,516, as well as another $4,000 in revenues associated with the Empire Wind Facilities. Empire Electric System filed updated tariffs in May 2022 for new rates to become effective in the second quarter of 2022.
Empire Electric filed a petition for securitization of the costs associated with the impact of the Midwest Extreme Weather Event and the retirement of Asbury in January 2022 and March 2022, respectively. On April 27, 2022, the MPSC issued an order consolidating, for purposes of hearing, these two cases regarding the quantum financeable through securitization, which hearing was held the week of June 13, 2022. The MPSC must issue an order on the Midwest Extreme Weather Event securitization request no later than August 22, 2022. It is expected that the Asbury securitization request will be addressed in that same order. The order could result in a lower quantum of costs being financeable through securitization than sought by the Company. |
BELCO | Bermuda | General rate review | On March 18, 2022, the regulator issued a final decision authorizing $224,056 and $226,160 in revenue for 2022 and 2023 respectively at a weighted average cost of capital or return of 7.16% in each year. The new rates are effective from April 1, 2022. On April 7, 2022, BELCO filed an appeal in the Supreme Court of Bermuda challenging the decisions made through the recent Retail Tariff Review. |
Empire Electric System | Kansas | General rate review | On May 27, 2021, submitted an abbreviated rate review seeking to recover costs associated with the addition of the Empire Wind Facilities, the retirement of Asbury and non-growth related plant investments since the 2019 rate review. In May 2022, the Commission approved the unanimous partial settlement resolving the rate treatment of the Asbury retirement and the non-wind investments resulting in a base rate decrease of $636, and granted Empire Electric's motion to withdraw its request to recover cost associated with the Empire Wind Facilities. New rates became effective in July 2022. |
Empire District Gas Company | Missouri | General rate review | In June 2022, the Commission approved an annual increase of $1,000 in base rate revenues to become effective in August 2022. |

The Company has non-controlling interests in various corporations, partnerships and joint ventures with a total carrying value of $396,305 (December 31, 2021 - $433,850), including investments in variable interest entities ("VIEs") of $105,941 (December 31, 2021 - $86,202).
During 2021, the Company acquired a 51% interest in four operating wind facilities located in Texas (“Texas Coastal Wind Facilities”). All facilities have achieved commercial operations. The Company does not control the entities and therefore accounts for its 51% interest using the equity method. As at June 30, 2022, the Company had issued $119,750 in letters of credit and guarantees of performance obligations under energy purchase agreements and decommissioning obligations on behalf of the Texas Coastal Wind Facilities.

AQN's investment carrying amount for the entities | $ | 396,305 | | | $ | 433,850 | |
(a) The difference between the investment carrying amount and the underlying equity in net assets relates primarily to development fees, interest capitalized while the projects are under construction, the fair value of guarantees provided by the Company in regards to the investments and transaction costs.
Except for Liberty Global Energy Solutions B.V. (“Liberty Global Energy Solutions”), the development projects are considered VIEs due to the level of equity at risk and the disproportionate voting and economic interests of the shareholders. The Company has committed loan and credit support facilities with some of its equity investees. During construction, the Company has agreed to provide cash advances and credit support for the continued development and construction of the equity investees' projects. As at June 30, 2022, the Company had issued letters of credit and guarantees of performance obligations under: a security of performance for a development opportunity; wind turbine and solar panel supply agreements; interconnection agreements; engineering, procurement and construction agreements; energy purchase agreements; and construction loan agreements. The fair value of the support provided recorded as at June 30, 2022 amounts to $6,535 (December 31, 2021 - $4,612).

Long-term debt issued at a subsidiary level (project notes or utility bonds) relating to a specific operating facility is generally collateralized by the respective facility with no other recourse to the Company. Long-term debt issued at a subsidiary level whether or not collateralized generally has certain financial covenants, which must be maintained on a quarterly basis. Non-compliance with the covenants could restrict cash distributions/dividends to the Company from the specific facilities.
Recent financing activities:

17.Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share have been calculated on the basis of net earnings (loss) attributable to the common shareholders of the Company and the weighted average number of common shares and bonus deferral restricted share units outstanding. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares, additional shares issued subsequent to quarter-end under the dividend reinvestment plan, PSUs, RSUs and DSUs outstanding during the period and, if dilutive, potential incremental common shares related to the convertible debentures or resulting from the application of the treasury stock method to outstanding share options and Green Equity Units (note 7).
The reconciliation of the net earnings (loss) and the weighted average shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended June 30 | | Six months ended June 30 | |
| 2022 | | 2021 | | 2022 | | 2021 | |
Net earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders of AQN | (33,387) | | | 103,222 | | | 57,578 | | | 117,169 | | |
Series A preferred shares dividend | 1,219 | | | 1,249 | | | 2,437 | | | 2,464 | | |
Series D preferred shares dividend | 1,001 | | | 1,027 | | | 2,003 | | | 2,026 | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Net earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders of AQN – basic and diluted | $ | (35,607) | | | $ | 100,946 | | | $ | 53,138 | | $ | — | | $ | 112,679 | | |
Weighted average number of shares | | | | | | | | |
Basic | 674,742,897 | | | 614,013,963 | | | 674,720,319 | | | 606,876,299 | | |
Effect of dilutive securities | — | | | 5,982,644 | | | 4,412,593 | | | 5,813,565 | | |
Diluted | 674,742,897 | | | 619,996,607 | | | 679,132,912 | | | 612,689,864 | | |
This calculation of diluted shares excludes the potential impact of the Green Equity Units and all potential incremental shares that may become issuable pursuant to outstanding securities of the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 1,134,711 securities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as they are anti dilutive. This calculation of diluted shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 excludes the potential impact of 488,621 and 437,006 securities, respectively as they are anti-dilutive.

18.Segmented information
The Company is managed under two primary business units consisting of the Regulated Services Group and the Renewable Energy Group. The two business units are the two segments of the Company.
The Regulated Services Group, the Company's regulated operating unit, owns and operates a portfolio of electric, natural gas, water distribution and wastewater collection utility systems and transmission operations in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Chile; the Renewable Energy Group, the Company's non-regulated operating unit, owns and operates a diversified portfolio of renewable and thermal electric generation assets in North America and internationally.
For purposes of evaluating the performance of the business units, the Company allocates the realized portion of any gains or losses on financial instruments to the specific business units. Dividend income from Atlantica and AYES Canada is included in the operations of the Renewable Energy Group, while interest income from San Antonio Water System is included in the operations of the Regulated Services Group. Equity method gains and losses are included in the operations of the Regulated Services Group or Renewable Energy Group based on the nature of the activities of the investees. The change in value of investments carried at fair value, unrealized portion of any gains or losses on derivative instruments not designated in a hedging relationship and foreign exchange gains and losses are not considered in management’s evaluation of divisional performance and are therefore, allocated and reported under corporate.

19.Commitments and contingencies
(a)Contingencies
AQN and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and litigation arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of its business. Although such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider AQN’s exposure to such litigation to be material to these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Accruals for any contingencies related to these items are recorded in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements at the time it is concluded that their occurrence is probable and the related liability is estimable.
Mountain View Fire
On November 17, 2020, a wildfire now known as the Mountain View Fire occurred in the territory of Liberty Utilities (CalPeco Electric) LLC ("Liberty CalPeco"). The cause of the fire remains under investigation, and CAL FIRE has not yet released its final report. There are currently 10 active lawsuits that name the Company and/or certain of its subsidiaries as defendants in connection with the Mountain View fire. Five of these lawsuits are brought by groups of individual plaintiffs alleging causes of action including negligence, inverse condemnation, nuisance, trespass, and violations of Cal. Pub. Util. Code 2106 and Cal. Health and Safety Code 13007. In the sixth active lawsuit, County of Mono, Antelope Valley Fire Protection District, Toiyabe Indian Health Project, and Bridgeport Indian Colony allege similar causes of action and seek damages for fire suppression costs, law enforcement costs, property and infrastructure damage, and other costs. In three other lawsuits, insurance companies allege inverse condemnation and negligence and seek recovery of amounts paid and to be paid to their insureds. The tenth lawsuit alleges the wrongful death of an individual, along with causes of action similar to those alleged in the cases filed by groups of individual plaintiffs. The likelihood of success in these lawsuits cannot be reasonably predicted. Liberty CalPeco intends to vigorously defend them. The Company has wildfire liability insurance that is expected to apply up to applicable policy limits.

21.Financial instruments (continued)
(a)Fair value of financial instruments (continued)
The fair value of development loans and other receivables (level 2) is determined using a discounted cash flow method, using estimated current market rates for similar instruments adjusted for estimated credit risk as determined by management.
The fair value of the investment in Atlantica (level 1) is measured at the closing price on the NASDAQ stock exchange.
The Company’s level 1 fair value of long-term debt is measured at the closing price on the NYSE and the over-the-counter closing price. The Company’s level 2 fair value of long-term debt at fixed interest rates and Series C preferred shares has been determined using a discounted cash flow method and current interest rates. The Company's level 2 fair value of convertible debentures has been determined as the greater of their face value and the quoted value of AQN's common shares on a converted basis.
The Company’s level 2 fair value derivative instruments primarily consist of swaps, options, rights, subscription agreements and forward physical derivatives where market data for pricing inputs are observable. Level 2 pricing inputs are obtained from various market indices and utilize discounting based on quoted interest rate curves, which are observable in the marketplace.
The Company’s level 3 instruments consist of energy contracts for electricity sales, congestion revenue rights ("CRRs") and the fair value of the Company's investment in AYES Canada. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of energy contracts are the internally developed forward market prices ranging from $19.84 to $180.57 with a weighted average of $42.72 as at June 30, 2022. The weighted average forward market prices are developed based on the quantity of energy expected to be sold monthly and the expected forward price during that month. The change in the fair value of the energy contracts is detailed in notes 21(b)(ii) and 21(b)(iv). The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of CRRs are recent CRR auction prices ranging from $1.87 to $11.79 with a weighted average of $4.49 as of June 30, 2022. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's AYES Canada investment are the expected cash flows, the discount rates applied to these cash flows ranging from 9.21% to 9.71% with a weighted average of 9.59%, and the expected volatility of Atlantica's share price ranging from 25% to 37% as at June 30, 2022. Significant increases (decreases) in expected cash flows or increases (decreases) in discount rate in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
(b)Derivative instruments
Derivative instruments are recognized on the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value at each reporting period.
(i)Commodity derivatives – regulated accounting
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce the cash flow variability associated with the purchase price for a portion of future natural gas purchases associated with its regulated gas and electric service territories. The Company’s strategy is to minimize fluctuations in gas sale prices to regulated customers. The following are commodity volumes, in dekatherms (“dths”), associated with the above derivative contracts:

21.Financial instruments (continued)
(b)Derivative instruments (continued)
(i)Commodity derivatives – regulated accounting (continued)
The accounting for these derivative instruments is subject to guidance for rate regulated enterprises. Most of the gains or losses on the settlement of these contracts are included in the calculation of the fuel and commodity costs adjustments (note 5). As a result, the changes in fair value of these natural gas derivative contracts and their offsetting adjustment to regulatory assets and liabilities had no earnings impact.
(ii)Cash flow hedges
The Company has sought to reduce the price risk on the expected future sale of power generation at the Sandy Ridge, Senate, Minonk, and Sugar Creek Wind Facilities by entering into the following long-term energy derivative contracts.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Notional quantity (MW-hrs) | | Expiry | | Receive average prices (per MW-hr) | | Pay floating price (per MW-hr) |

| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
The Company provides energy requirements to various customers under contracts at fixed rates. While the production from the Tinker Hydroelectric Facility is expected to provide a portion of the energy required to service these customers, AQN anticipates having to purchase a portion of its energy requirements at the ISO NE spot rates to supplement self-generated energy. The Company seeks to mitigate the risk by using short-term financial forward energy purchase contracts. These short-term derivatives are not accounted for as hedges and changes in fair value are recorded in earnings as they occur (note 21(b)(iv)). A prior contract used as a hedging instrument expired in February 2022.
The Company is party to two interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk that LIBOR-based interest rates will increase over the life of term loan facilities. Under the terms of the interest rate swap contracts, the Company has fixed its LIBOR interest rate expense on $87,627 and $8,875 to 3.28% and 3.02%, respectively, on its two term loan facilities. The fair value of the derivative on the designation date is amortized into earnings over the remaining life of the contract.
The Company is party to a forward-starting interest rate swap in order to reduce the interest rate risk related to the quarterly interest payments between July 1, 2024 and July 1, 2029 on the $350,000 subordinated unsecured notes and between April 18, 2027 and April 18, 2032 on the $750,000 subordinated unsecured notes. The Company designated the entire notional amount of the pay-variable and receive-fixed interest rate swaps as a hedge of the future quarterly variable-rate interest payments associated with the subordinated unsecured notes.
In January 2022, the Company entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap, coterminous with the Canadian Notes, to effectively convert the C$400,000 Canadian Offering into U.S. dollars. The change in the carrying amount of the Canadian Notes due to changes in spot exchange rates is recognized each period in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations as loss (gain) on foreign exchange. The Company designated the entire notional amount of the cross-currency fixed-for-fixed interest rate swap as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure related to cash flows for the interest and principal repayments on the Canadian Notes. An offsetting portion of the AOCI balance related to changes in fair value of the cross-currency fixed-for-fixed interest rate swap attributable to changes in the spot exchange rates is also immediately reclassified into earnings.

The Company expects $43,250 of unrealized losses currently in AOCI to be reclassified, net of taxes into non-regulated energy sales, investment loss, interest expense and derivative gains, within the next 12 months, as the underlying hedged transactions settle.
(iii)Foreign exchange hedge of net investment in foreign operation
The functional currency of most of AQN's operations is the U.S. dollar. The Company designates obligations denominated in Canadian dollars as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in its Canadian investments and subsidiaries. The related foreign currency transaction gain or loss designated as, and effective as, a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation is reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. A foreign currency gain of $395 and $220 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively (2021 - loss of $178 and $446, respectively) was recorded in OCI.
On May 23, 2019, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap, coterminous with the subordinated unsecured notes, to effectively convert the $350,000 U.S.-dollar-denominated offering into Canadian dollars. The change in the carrying amount of the notes due to changes in spot exchange rates is recognized each period in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations as loss (gain) on foreign exchange. The Company designated the entire notional amount of the cross-currency fixed-for-fixed interest rate swap as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure related to cash flows for the interest and principal repayments on the notes. Upon the change in functional currency of AQN to the U.S. dollar on January 1, 2020, this hedge was dedesignated. The OCI related to this hedge will be amortized into earnings in the period that future interest payments affect earnings over the remaining life of the original hedge. The Company redesignated this swap as a hedge of AQN's net investment in its Canadian subsidiaries. The related foreign currency transaction gain or loss designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation is reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. The fair value of the derivative on the redesignation date will be amortized over the remaining life of the original hedge. A foreign currency gain of $10,697 and $6,465 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively (2021 - loss of $7,453 and $11,467, respectively) was recorded in OCI.

(iii) Foreign exchange hedge of net investment in foreign operation (continued)
Canadian operations
The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations from its Canadian-based operations. AQN seeks to manage this risk primarily through the use of natural hedges by using Canadian long-term debt to finance its Canadian operations and a combination of foreign exchange forward contracts and spot purchases.
The Company’s Canadian operations are determined to have the Canadian dollar as their functional currency and are exposed to currency fluctuations from their U.S. dollar transactions. The Company designates obligations denominated in U.S. dollars as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in its U.S. investments and subsidiaries. The related foreign currency transaction gain or loss designated as, and effective as, a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation is reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. A foreign currency loss of $2,149 and $2,544 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively (2021 - gain of $70 and $1,991, respectively) was recorded in OCI.
The Company was party to C$500,000 cross-currency swaps to effectively convert Canadian dollar debentures into U.S. dollars. The Company designated the entire notional amount of the cross-currency fixed-for-fixed interest rate swap and related short-term U.S. dollar payables created by the monthly accruals of the swap settlement as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in the Renewable Energy Group's U.S. operations. The gain or loss related to the fair value changes of the swap and the related foreign currency gains and losses on the U.S. dollar accruals that are designated as, and are effective as, a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation are reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. A loss of $8,132 and $6,080 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively (2021 - gain of $6,534 and $13,274, respectively) was recorded in OCI. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Renewable Energy Group settled the related cross-currency swap related to its C$200,000 debenture that was repaid (note 7(c)).
On April 9, 2021, the Renewable Energy Group entered into a fixed-for-fixed cross-currency interest rate swap, coterminous with the senior unsecured debentures (note 7(b)), to effectively convert the C$400,000 Canadian-dollar-denominated offering into U.S. dollars. The Renewable Energy Group designated the entire notional amount of the fixed-for-fixed cross-currency interest rate swap as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in its U.S. operations. The gain or loss related to the fair value changes of the swap are reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. A loss of $8,439 and $14,252 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively (2021 - loss of $2,653 and $2,653, respectively) was recorded in OCI.
Chilean operations
The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations from its Chilean-based operations. The Company's Chilean operations are determined to have the Chilean peso as their functional currency. Chilean long-term debt used to finance the operations is denominated in Chilean Unidad de Fomento.
(iv)Other derivatives
Derivative financial instruments are used to manage certain exposures to fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company does not enter into derivative financial agreements for speculative purposes.
For derivatives that are not designated as hedges, the changes in the fair value are immediately recognized in earnings.
