Forward-Looking Information This presentation contains certain forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities laws, which may include, but is not limited to, statements with respect to future events or future performance, management s expectations regarding Alterra s production capacity, results of operations, cash flows (including predictability thereof), revenues and requirements for capital, future demand for and prices of electricity, timing of construction for the Jimmie Creek and Shannon Wind projects, closing of Jimmie Creek, Shannon Wind and holding company financings, including proposed timing and terms, dividend potential, power generating capacities and Alterra s business prospects and opportunities. These statements reflect the current views of Alterra with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by Alterra, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, political and social uncertainties and contingencies. Many factors, both known and unknown, could cause Alterra s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, and Alterra has made assumptions based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include, without limitation: fluctuations in currency markets (particularly with respect to the Icelandic krona, the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar); risks related to the technological and operational nature of Alterra s business; changes in national or regional governments, legislation, regulation, permitting or taxation; political or economic developments in Canada, the United States, Iceland or other countries where Alterra may carry on business; risks and hazards associated with the business of renewable energy generation; risks relating to the creditworthiness and financial condition of suppliers and other parties which Alterra will deal with; inadequate insurance or inability to obtain insurance to cover these risks and hazards; employee relations; relationships with and claims by local communities and First Nations; availability and costs of equipment and labour; litigation; the success and timely completion of planned expansion and development programs; the growth rate in net electricity consumption; support and demand for renewable energy; government initiatives to support the development of renewable energy generation; the reliability of technical data and capital expenditure estimates; and availability of capital to fund development and expansion programs and such other risks identified under the heading Risk Factors in our Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2013.. Forward-looking information and statements are also based upon the assumption that none of the identified risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking information and statements will occur. Although Alterra has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated, described or intended. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, prospective investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. Other than as required by applicable securities laws, Alterra does not assume any obligation to update or revise such forward-looking information to reflect new events or circumstances. EBITDA Alterra discloses EBITDA as it is a measure used by analysts and by management to evaluate the Alterra s performance. As EBITDA is a non-ifrs measure, it may not be comparable to EBITDA calculated by others and should not be relied on. In addition, EBITDA is not a substitute for net earnings. Readers should consider net earnings in evaluating the Company s performance. A reconciliation of the non-ifrs measures used in this presentation is contained in our management s discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the year ended December 31, 2013, which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
