Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation (and oral statements relating to this presentation) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements, other than statements of historical facts, that express or involve discussions of expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, outlooks, assumptions, or future events or performance are forward-looking.Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, involve estimates, assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, and may differ materially from actual results, performance, or outcomes. Factors that may cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements include those listed in IDACORP, Inc.'s and Idaho Power Company's most recently filed periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, including (but not limited to) the "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections, and in other reports the companies file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Those factors also include the following, among others:
- Decisions by state and federal regulators affecting Idaho Power's ability to recover costs and earn a return on investment;
- Changes to or elimination of Idaho Power's regulatory cost recovery mechanisms;
- Ability to timely obtain permits and construct, and expenses and risks of capital expenditures for, utility infrastructure, including the impacts of inflation, price volatility, supply chain constraints, and supplier and contractor delays and failure to satisfy project quality and performance standards;
- Impacts of economic conditions, including an inflationary or recessionary environment and increasing interest rates, on items such as operations and capital investments and changes in customer demand;
- Power demand exceeding supply, and the rapid addition of new industrial and commercial customer load and the volatility of such new load demand, resulting in increased risks and costs for purchasing energy and capacity in the market or acquiring or constructing additional generation and transmission resources and battery storage facilities;
- Risks of operating an electric utility system, including compliance with regulatory obligations and potential liability for fires, outages, and personal injury or property damage;
- Acts or threats of terrorism, cyber or physical security attacks, and other acts seeking to disrupt Idaho Power's operations or the electric power grid or compromise data;
- Abnormal or severe weather conditions, wildfires, droughts, earthquakes, and other natural phenomena and natural disasters;
- Ability to acquire equipment, materials, fuel, power, and transmission capacity on reasonable terms and prices;
- Impacts of current and future governmental regulation and ability to timely obtain, and the cost of obtaining and complying with, government permits and approvals, licenses, and rights-of-way and siting for transmission and generation projects;
- Ability to obtain debt and equity financing when necessary and on satisfactory terms;
- Ability to continue to pay dividends and achieve target dividend-payout ratios, and contractual and regulatory restrictions on those dividends; and
- Changing market dynamics due to the emergence of day ahead or other energy and transmission markets in the western United States.
New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the companies to predict all such factors, nor can they assess the impact of any such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. IDACORP and Idaho Power disclaim any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking information, whether in response to new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Idaho Power's Clean Energy Portfolio*
2023
2023
*Clean energy from our low-cost hydropower projects has served as a key component of our energy mix throughout our over 100-year history. Once again, clean hydropower accounted for our largest energy source in 2023. Other clean sources of energy consisted of market purchases, power purchase agreements, and Public Utilities Regulatory Policy Act contracts with wind, solar, geothermal, and other sources. Because we sell the renewable energy credits associated with our renewable energy and participate the wholesale energy market, the overall mix does not represent the energy delivered to customers.

- Approximately $48 million of the expected increase in other O&M expense relates to pension and wildfire mitigation plan expenses, approved for recovery in the 2023 Settlement Stipulation effective January 1, 2024.
