Notice to Readers
Certain of the statements contained within this document are forward-looking and reflect management's expectations regarding the future growth, results of operations, performance and business of the
Corporation based on information currently available to the Corporation. Forward-looking statements and financial outlook are provided for the purpose of presenting information about management's current
expectations and plans relating to the future and readers are cautioned that such statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. These statements and financial outlook use forward-looking words, such
as “anticipate”, “continue”, “could”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “estimate”, “plan”, “believe” or other similar words, and include, among other things, statements found in "Message to Shareholders" and “Results of
Operations” concerning the guidance provided on the Corporation's post transaction profile. These statements and financial outlook are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause
actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements and financial outlook and, accordingly, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results. The
forward-looking statements and financial outlook within this document are based on information currently available and what the Corporation currently believes are reasonable assumptions, including the material
assumptions set out in the management's discussion and analysis of the results of operations and the financial condition of the Corporation (“MD&A”) for the year ended December 31, 2012 under the heading
“Results of Operations”, as updated in subsequently filed MD&A of the Corporation (such documents are available under the Corporation's profile on www.sedar.com).
Other potential material factors or assumptions that were applied in formulating the forward-looking statements and financial outlook contained herein include or relate to the following: that the business and
economic conditions affecting the Corporation's operations will continue substantially in their current state, including, with respect to industry conditions, general levels of economic activity, regulations, weather,
taxes and interest rates; that there will be no material delays in the Corporation's power infrastructure development projects achieving commercial operation; that the Corporation's power infrastructure facilities will
experience normal wind, hydrological and solar irradiation conditions, and ambient temperature and humidity levels; an effective TransCanada pipeline ("TCPL") gas transportation toll of approximately $1.95 per
gigajoule in 2013; that there will be no material change in the level of gas mitigation revenue historically earned by the Cardinal facility; that there will be no material changes to the Corporation's facilities,
equipment or contractual arrangements, no material changes in the legislative, regulatory and operating framework for the Corporation's businesses, no material delays in obtaining required approvals and no
material changes in rate orders or rate structures for the Corporation's power infrastructure facilities, Värmevärden or Bristol Water, no material changes in environmental regulations for power infrastructure
facilities, Värmevärden or Bristol Water and no significant event occurring outside the ordinary course of business; that the amendments to the regulations governing the mechanism for calculating the Global
Adjustment (which affects the calculation of the direct customer rate ("DCR") escalator under the power purchase agreement ("PPA") for the Cardinal facility and price escalators under the PPAs for the hydro
power facilities located in Ontario) will continue in force; that there will be no material change to the accounting treatment for Bristol Water's business under International Financial Reporting Standards, particularly
with respect to accounting for maintenance capital expenditures; that there will be no material change to the amount and timing of capital expenditures by Bristol Water; that there will be no material changes to the
Swedish Krona to Canadian dollar and British pound to Canadian dollar exchange rates; and that Bristol Water will operate and perform in a manner consistent with the regulatory assumptions underlying asset
management plan 5 ("AMP5"), including, among others: real and inflationary increases in Bristol Water's revenue, Bristol Water's expenses increasing in line with inflation, and capital investment, leakage,
customer service standards and asset serviceability targets being achieved.
Although the Corporation believes that it has a reasonable basis for the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements and financial outlook, actual results may differ from those suggested by the
forward-looking statements and financial outlook for various reasons, including: risks related to the Corporation's securities (dividends on common shares and preferred shares are not guaranteed; volatile market
price for the Corporation's securities; shareholder dilution; and convertible debentures credit risk, subordination and absence of covenant protection); risks related to the Corporation and its businesses (availability
of debt and equity financing; default under credit agreements and debt instruments; geographic concentration; foreign currency exchange rates; acquisitions and development (including risks related to the
integration of the business operated by Renewable Energy Developers Inc.); environmental, health and safety; changes in legislation and administrative policy; and reliance on key personnel); risks related to the
Corporation's power infrastructure facilities (power purchase agreements; operational performance; fuel costs and supply; contract performance; land tenure and related rights; environmental; and regulatory
environment); risks related to Bristol Water (Ofwat price determinations; failure to deliver capital investment programs; economic conditions; operational performance; failure to deliver water leakage target; service
incentive mechanism ("SIM") and the serviceability assessment; pension plan obligations; regulatory environment; competition; seasonality and climate change; and labour relations); and risks related to
Värmevärden (operational performance; fuel costs and availability; industrial and residential contracts; environmental; regulatory environment; and labour relations). For a comprehensive description of these risk
factors, please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of the Corporation’s Annual Information Form dated March 21, 2013 as supplemented by risk factors contained in any material change reports (except confidential
material change reports), business acquisition reports, interim financial statements, interim management’s discussion and analysis and information circulars filed by the Corporation with securities commissions or
similar authorities in Canada, which are available on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com
The assumptions, risks and uncertainties described above are not exhaustive and other events and risk factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the results and events discussed in the forwardlooking statements and financial outlook. The forward-looking statements and financial outlook within this document reflect current expectations of the Corporation as at the date of this document and speak only
as at the date of this document. Except as may be required by applicable law, the Corporation does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements and financial outlook.

APPENDIX: DEFINITIONS
Non-GAAP Performance Measures
Definitions
This presentation contains figures that are performance measures not defined by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
These non-GAAP and additional GAAP performance measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are,
therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The non-GAAP and additional GAAP measures
used in presentation are defined below.
Earnings before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)
EBITDA is net income (loss), including that net income (loss) related to the non-controlling interest (“NCI”) and interest income and
net pension interest income excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA represents Capstone’s
continuing capacity to generate income from operations before taking into account management’s financing decisions and costs of
consuming tangible capital assets and intangible assets, which vary according to their vintage, technological currency, and
management’s estimate of their useful life. EBITDA is presented on the consolidated statement of income.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as revenue less operating and administrative expenses plus interest income and dividends or
distributions received from equity accounted investments. Amounts attributed to any non-controlling interest are deducted. Adjusted
EBITDA for the investment in Bristol Water is included at Capstone’s proportionate ownership interest. For the period from October 5,
2011 to May 10, 2012, Capstone held a 70% ownership interest. This ownership interest was reduced to 50% upon the partial sale of
Bristol Water on May 10, 2012. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to EBITDA by removing equity accounted income, other gains and
losses (net), foreign exchange gains and losses, net pension interest income and removing the NCI portion of Adjusted EBITDA.
16
Non-GAAP Performance Measures
Definitions (continued)
Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)
Capstone’s definition of AFFO measures cash generated by activities of infrastructure business investments which is available for
dividends and general corporate purposes. For wholly owned businesses, AFFO is equal to Adjusted EBITDA less interest paid,
repayment of principal on debt income, taxes paid, scheduled repayment of debt principal, preferred share dividends and maintenance
capital expenditures. For businesses that are not wholly owned and cash generated by the business is only available to Capstone
through periodic dividends, AFFO is equal to dividends received. Also deducted are corporate expenses and dividends on preferred
shares.
AFFO is calculated from Adjusted EBITDA by:
Deducting:
- Adjusted EBITDA generated from businesses with significant non-controlling interests
Adding:
- Dividends received from businesses with significant non-controlling interests
- Scheduled repayments of principal on loans receivable from equity accounted investments
Deducting items, for businesses without significant non-controlling interests:
- Interest paid
- Income taxes paid
- Dividends paid on the preferred shares included in shareholders’ equity
- Maintenance capital expenditure payments and
- Scheduled repayments of principal on debt, net of changes to the levelization liability up to repayment on June 6, 2012.
Payout Ratio
Payout ratio measures the proportion of cash generated that is available at corporate that is paid as dividends. The payout ratio is
calculated as dividends declared divided by AFFO.
