Washington General Rate Cases
2024 General Rate Cases
hi December 2024,the WUTC issued orders related to our multi-year electric and natural gas general rate cases filed with the WUTC in January 2024.
The approved rates within the orders are designed to increase annual electric base revenues by S 12 million(or 2.0 percent),effective January 1,2025(Rate Year 1),and$44 million(or
7.5 percent)for Rate Year 2.The difference in approved rates for Rate Year 1 and those included in our original request ofa$77 million increase is primarily due to a S56 million
decrease in power supply costs compared to those set forth in the original request,and also due to a lower approved return on equity than what was requested.The Rate Year 2 increase
represents the effective increase to customers resulting from the$69 million approved in the order,partially offset by a$25 million decrease due to the expiration ofa separate tariffin
effect during Rate Year 1 to collect remaining Colstrip expenses by December 31,2025(see further discussion below).
The approved rates are also designed to increase annual natural gas base revenues by$14 million(or 11.2 percent),effective January 1,2025,and$4 million(or 2.8 percent)for Rate
Year 2.
The WUTC approved an ROE of9.8 percent,based on a common equity ratio of48.5 percent,and an ROR of 7.32 percent.
The WUTC did not approve our request to modify the ERM under which differences between actual net power supply costs and the amount reflected in base retail customer rates are
tracked.Based on our forecast energy commodity costs in 2025 and 2026,we expect actual net power supply costs to exceed the level included in base rates.We plan to continue to
address how net power supply costs are set in base rates in future regulatory proceedings.
The Commission continued its support for important recovery mechanisms such as wildfire and insurance balancing accounts,and decoupling.
Colstrip Tariff
In 20l9,the Washington State Legislature passed the CETA,which.among other things,requires costs associated with coal-fired generation facilities to be removed from tales no later
than December 31,2025.The WUTC order approving the settlement ofthe 2022 general rate cases,discussed above,required us to establish a tracker for our Colstrip-related costs,
including operating and maintenance expense,depreciation and amortization expense,and a return on rate base.hi October 2024,we filed a cost recovery tariffseeking to recoverthe
costs associated with our ownership of Colstrip in 2025.In the filing,we requested an increase in annual Colstrip tariffrevenues of S19 million-from$24 million in 2024 to S43
million in 2025,effective January 1,2025.In its review,WUTC Staffraised three concerns related to(1)whether forecasted 2025 investments are allowed in rates;(2)whetherthe
capital investment included in the filing will be used and useful for customers prior to the end of2025;and(3)one major capital investment that will not be in service until 2027.In
December 2024,the WUTC allowed our filed tariffto go into effect,but set the rates as subject to refund.The WUTC set the matter for adjudication in 2025,but also ordered us,
WUTC Staff,and other interested parties to meet and resolve the issues.Astatus report is due to the WUTC by March 31,2025.Ifthe parties cannot resolve the concerns of WUTC
Staff,we believe a procedural schedule will be developed and a hearing date set.
Idaho General Rate Cases
2025 General Rate Case
In January 2025,we filed multiyear electric and natural gas general rate cases with the IPUC.If approved,new rates would be effective in September 2025 and September 2026.The
proposed rates are designed to increase annual base electric revenues by$43 million,or 14.0 percent,effective in September2025,and$18 million,or 5.0 percent,effective in
September2026.For natural gas,the proposed rates are designed to increase annual base natural gas revenues by$9 million,or 17.7 percent,effective September2025,and$1
million,or 1.7 percent,effective September 2026.The proposed electric and natural gas revenue increase requests are based on an ROR of 7.68 percent,with a common equity ratio of
50 percent and an ROE of 10.4 percent.Ongoing capital infrastructure investment(including replacement ofwood poles and natural gas distribution pipe,continued investment in the
wildfire resiliency plan,and technology)and increases in operations,maintenance,and power supply costs are the main drivers ofthe proposed increases.The IPUC has up to nine
months to review the general rate case filings and issue a decision.
Oregon General Rate Cases
2024 General Rate Case
In March 2025,we reached an all-party settlement agreement,which has been submitted to the OPUC for its consideration.
Ifapproved,the settlement agreement is designed to increase annual base revenues by$4 million,or 5.0 percent,effective in September2025.The settlement is based on an ROE of
9.5 percent with a common equity ratio of 50 percent and an ROR of 7.22 percent.
To mitigate the overall impact ofthe revenue increases on customers,$5.0 million ofcustomer tax credits will be accelerated and returned to customers over a three-year period.
12. In August 2024,Chief Executive Officer Dennis Vermillion announced he will retire from the Company in the first quarter of 2025.Avista President
and Chief Operating Officer Heather Rosentrater has been appointed CEO by the board of directors,effective January 1,2025.She has also been appointed
to the board of directors,effective January 1,2025.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1.SUMMARYOF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature ofBusiuess
Avista Corp.(the Company)is primarily an electric and natural gas utility with certain otherbusiness ventures.Avista Corp.provides electric distribution and transmission,and
natural gas distribution services in parts ofeastem Washington and northern Idaho.Avista Corp.also provides natural gas distribution service in parts ofnortheastem and southwestern
Oregon.Avista Corp.has electric generating facilities in Washington,Idaho,Oregon and Montana.Avista Corp.also supplies electricity to a small number ofeustomers in Montana.
Alaska Electric and Resource Company(AERC)is a wholly-owned subsidiary ofAvista Corp.The primary subsidiary ofAERC is Alaska Energy Light and Power(AEL&P),which
comprises Avista Corp.'s regulated utility operations in Alaska.
Avista Capital,a wholly owned non-regulated subsidiary ofAvista Corp.,is the parent company ofthe subsidiary companies except AERC(and its subsidiaries).
Basis of Reporting
The financial statements include the assets,liabilities,revenues and expenses of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with the accounting requirements of the Federal
Energy Regulation Commission(FERC)as set forth in its applicable Uniform System ofAccounls and published accounting releases,which is a comprehensive basis ofaccounting
other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica(GAAP).As required by the FERC,the Company accounts for its investment in majority owned
subsidiaries as required by GAAP,The accompanying financial statements include the Company's proportionate share ofutility plant and related operations associated with its
interests in jointly owned plants.In addition,under the requirements ofthe FERC,there are differences from GAAPin the presentation of(1)current portion oflong-term debt,(2)
assets and liabilities for cost ofremoval assets,(3)assets held for sale,(4)regulatory assets and liabilities,(5)deferred income taxes associated with accounts other than utility
property,plant and equipment,(6)comprehensive income,(7)unamortized debt issuance costs,(8)operating revenues and resource costs associated with settled energy contracts that
are"booked out",(9)non-service portion ofpension and other postretirement benefit costs,(10)emissions allowance inventory and liabilities,and(11)leases.
Use of Estimates
The preparation ofthe financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities
and the disclosure ofcontingent assets and liabilities at the date ofthe financial statements and the reported amounts ofrevenues and expenses during the reporting period.Significant
estimates include:
determining the market value ofenergy commodity derivative assets and liabilities,
pension and otherpostretirement benefit plan obligations,
contingent liabilities,
obligations under the Climate Commitment Act(CCA),
goodwill impairment testing,
recoverability ofregulatory assets,and
unbilled revenues.
Changes in these estimates and assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material effect on the financial statements and thus actual results could differ from the
amounts reported and disclosed herein.
System ofAccounts
The accounting records ofthe Company's utility operations are maintained in accordance with the uniform system of accounts prescribed by the FERC and adopted by the state
regulatory commissions in Washington,Idaho,Montana and Oregon.
Regulation
The Company is subject to state regulation in Washington,Idaho,Montana,Oregon and Alaska.The Company is subject to federal regulation primarily by the FERC,as well as
various other federal agencies with regulatory oversight ofparticular aspects ofits operations.
Depreciation
For utility operations,depreciation expense is estimated by a method ofdepreciation accounting utilizing composite rates for utility plant.Such rates are designed to provide for
retirements ofproperties at the expiration oftheir service lives.For utility operations,the ratio ofdepreciation provisions to average depreciable property was as follows for the years
ended December 31:
2024 2023 2022
Avista Corp. 3.45% 3.52% 3.50%
The average service lives for the following broad categories ofutility plant in service are(in years):
Electric thermal/other production 27
Hydroelectric production 81
Electric transmission 44
Electric distribution 42
Natural gas distribution property 44
Other shorter-lived general plant 8
Allowance for Funds Used During Construction(AFUDC)
AFUDC represents the cost ofboth the debt and equity funds used to finance utility plant additions during the construction period.As prescribed by regulatory authorities,AFUDC is
capitalized as a part ofthe cost ofutility plant.The debt component ofAFUDC is credited against total interest expense in the Statements oflncome in the line item"capitalized
interest."The equity component ofAFUDC is included in the Statements oflncome in the line item"other income-net."The Company is permitted,under established regulatory rate
practices,to recover the capitalized AFUDC,and a reasonable return thereon,through its inclusion in rate base and the provision for depreciation afterthe related utility plant is
placed in service.Cash inflow related to AFUDC does not occur until the related utility plant is placed in service and included in rate base.
The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission(WUCC)and the Idaho Public Utilities Commission(IPUC)have authorized Avista Corp.to calculate AFUDC using its
allowed rate ofretum on rate base.To the extent amounts calculated using this rate exceed the AFUDC amounts calculated using the FERC formula,Avista Corp.capitalizes the
excess as a regulatory asset.The regulatory asset associated with plant in service is amortized over the average useful life ofAvista Corp.'s utility plant which is approximately 30
years.The regulatory asset associated with construction work in progress is not amortized until the plant is placed in service.
The effective AFUDC rate was the following forthe years ended December31:
2024 2023
Avista Corp. 7.03% 7.03%
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets represent future income tax deductions the Company expects to utilize in future tax returns to reduce taxable income.Deferred income tax liabilities
represent future taxable income the Company expects to recognize in future tax returns.Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise when there are temporary differences resulting from
differing treatment ofitems for tax and accounting purposes.Adeferred income tax asset or liability is determined based on the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the
temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in the Company's income tax returns.
The effect on deferred income taxes from a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date unless a regulatory order specifies deferral ofthe
effect ofthe change in tax rates over a longerperiod of time.The Company establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all,ora portion,ofa deferred tax
asset will not be realized.Deferred income tax assets and liabilities and regulatory assets and liabilities are established for income tax benefits flowed through to customers.
The Company has elected to account for transferable tax credits as a component ofthe income tax provision.The Company recognizes the benefit ofproduction tax credits as a
reduction of income tax expense in the period the credit is generated,which corresponds to the period the energy production occurs.The Company applies the deferral method of
accounting for investment tax credits(ITCs).Underthis method,ITCs are amortized as a reduction to income tax expense overthe estimated useful lives ofthe underlying property
that gave rise to the credit.
The Company's largest deferred income tax item is the difference between the book and tax basis ofutility plant.This item results from the temporary difference on depreciation
expense.In early tax years,this item is recorded as a deferred income tax liability that will eventually reverse and become subject to income tax in later tax years.
The Company did not incurpenallies on income tax positions in 2024 or2023.The Company would recognize interest accrued related to income tax positions as interest expense or
interest income and penalties incurrcd as otheropewting expense.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company issues three types ofstock-based compensation awards-restricted shares,market-based awards and performance-based awards.Compensation cost relating to share-
based payment transactions is recognized in the Company's financial statements based on the fair value ofthe equity instruments issued and recorded over the requisite service period.
The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense(included in other operating expenses)and income tax benefits in the Statements of Income ofthe following amounts for
the years ended December 31(dollars in millions):
2024 2023
Stock-based compensation expense $8 $7
Income tax benefits 2 2
Restricted share awards vest in equal thirds each year over 3 years and are payable in Avista Corp.common stock at the end of each year ifthe service condition is met.Restricted
stock is valued at the close of market ofthe Company's common stock on the grant date.
Total Shareholder Return(TSR)awards are market-based awards and Cumulative Earnings Per Share(CEPS)awards we performance awards.Both types of awards vest after a period of
3 years and are payable in cash or Avista Corp.common stock at the and ofthe three-yettrperiod.The method of settlement is at the discretion ofthe Company and historically the
Company has settled these awards through issuance ofAvista Corp.common stock and intends to continue this practice.Both types ofawards entitle the recipients to dividend
equivalent rights,are subject to forfeiture under certain circumstances,and arc subject to meeting specific market orperformance conditions.Based on the level of attainment ofthe
market or performance conditions,the amount ofcash paid or common stock Issued will range from 0 to 200 percent ofthe initial awards granted.Dividend equivalent rights are
accumulated and paid out only on shares that have vested and have met the market and performance conditions.
The Company accounts forboth the TSR awards and CEPS awards as equity awards and compensation cost for these awards is recognized over the requisite service period,provided
the requisite service period is rendered.For TSR awards,if the market condition is not met at the end ofthe three-year service period,there will be no change in the cumulative amount
ofcompensation cost recognized,since the awards arc still considered vested even though the market metric was not met.For CEPS awards,at the end ofthe three-yearservice period,
ifthe internal performance metric of cumulative earnings per share is not met,all compensation cost forthese awards is reversed as these awards are not considered vested.
The fair value ofeach TSR award is estimated on the date ofgrant using a statistical model incorporating the probability ofineeting the market targets based on historical returns
relative to a peer group.CEPS awards are valued at the close ofmarket ofthe Company's common stock on the grant date.
The following table summarizes the number of grants,vested and unvested shares,earned shares(based on market metrics),and other pertinent information related to the Company's
stock compensation awards for the years ended December31
2024 2023
Restricted Shares
Shares granted during the year 82,433 76,806
Shares vested during the year 75,107 75,007

TSR shares vested during the year 64,640 61,456
TSR shares earned based on market metrics 35,552 44,863
Unvested TSR shares at end ofyear 77,530 96,915

Unvested CEPS shares at end ofyear 232,486 161,235
Unrecognized compensation expense at end ofyear
(in millions) $3 $2
Outstanding restricted,TSR and CEPS share awards include a dividend component paid in cash.Aliability forthe dividends payable related to these awards is accrued es dividends
are announced throughout the life ofthe award.As of December 31,2024 and 2023,the Company had recognized a liability of$3 million and$2 million,respectively,related to the
dividend equivalents payable on the outstanding and unvested share grants.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes ofthe Statements of Cash Flows,the Company considers all temporary investments with a maturity ofthree months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for estimated and potential losses on accounts receivable.The Company determines the allowance forutility
and other customer accounts receivable based on historical write-offs as compared to accounts receivable and operating revenues.Additionally,the Company establishes specific
allowances for certain individual accounts.
The Company has received grants from various government agencies to assist customers with their energy bills.The Company received these grant funds and applied them to
customer accounts,reducing accounts receivable balances.These grants totaled$10 million in 2024 and$2 million in 2023.
Utility Plant in Service
The cost ofadditions to utility plant in service,including AFUDC and replacements ofunits ofproperty and improvements,is capitalized.The cost ofdepreciable units ofproperty
retired plus the cost ofremoval less salvage is charged to accumulated depreciation.
Asset Retirement Obligations(ARO)
The Company records the fair value ofa liability for an ARO in the period in which it is incurred.When the liability is initially recorded,the associated costs ofthe ARO are
capitalized as part ofthe carrying amount ofthe related long-lived asset.The liability is accreted to its present value each period and the related capitalized costs are depreciated over
the useful life ofthe related asset.In addition,ifthctc are changes in the estimated timing or estimated costs ofthe AROr,adjustments are recorded during the period new information
becomes available as an increase or decrease to the liability,with the offset recorded to the related long-lived asset.Upon retirement ofthe asset,the Company either settles the ARO
for its recorded amount or recognizes a regulatory asset or liability for the difference,which will be surchargedtmllmded to customers through the ratemaking process.The Company
records regulatory assets and liabilities for the difference between asset retirement costs currently recovered in rates and AROs recorded since asset retirement costs are recovered
through rates charged to customers(see Note 11 for further discussion ofthe Company's AROs).
Derivative Assets and Liabilities
Derivatives are recorded as either assets or liabilities on the Balance Sheets measured at estimated fair value.
The WUTC and the IPUC issued accounting orders authorizing Avista Corp.to offset energy commodity derivative assets or liabilities with a regulatory asset or liability.This
accounting treatment is intended to defer the recognition ofmnrk-to-morkct gains and losses on energy commodity transactions until the period ofdelivery.Realized benefits and
costs result in adjustments to retail rates through Purchase Gas Adjustments(PGAs),the Energy Recovery Mechanism(ERM)in Washington,the Power Cost Adjustment(PCA)
mechanism in Idaho,and periodic general rate cases.The resulting regulatory assets associated with energy commodity derivative instruments ate probable of recovery through future
rates.
Substantially all forward contracts to purchase or sell power and natural gas are recorded as derivative assets or liabilities at estimated fair value with an offsetting regulatory asset or
liability.Contracts not considered derivatives are accounted for on the accrual basis until they are settled or realized unless there is a decline in the fair value ofthe contract
determined to be other-than-temporary.
For interest rate swap derivatives,Avista Corp.records all mad:-to-market gains and losses in each accounting period as assets and liabilities,as well as offsetting regulatory assets and
liabilities,such that there is no income statement impact.The interest rate swap derivatives ate risk management tools similar to energy commodity derivatives.Upon settlement of
interest rate swap derivatives,the mgulatory asset or liability is amortized as a component of intetst expense over the term ofthe associated debt.The Company records an offset of
interest rate swap derivative assets and liabilities with regulatory assets and liabilities,based on the priorpractice of the commissions to provide recovery through the ratemaking
process.
The Company has multiple master netting agreements with a variety ofentities allowing for cross-commodity netting ofderivative agreements with the same counterparty(i.e.power
derivatives can be netted with natural gas derivatives).In addition,some master netting agreements allow for the netting ofcommodity derivatives and interest rate swap derivatives
for the same counterparty.The Company does not have agreements which allow for cross-affiliate netting among multiple affiliated legal entities.The Company nets all derivative
instruments when allowed by the agreement for presentation in the Balance Sheets.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value represents the price that would be received when selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability(an exit price)in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date.Energy commodity derivative assets and liabilities,deferred compensation assets,as well as derivatives related to interest rate swaps and foreign currency
exchange contracts,are reported at estimated fair value on the Balance Sheets.See Note 13 forthe Company's fair value disclosures.
Regulatory Deferred Charges and Credits
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with regulatory accounting practices because:
rates for regulated services are established by or subject to approval by independent third-party regulators,
the regulated rates are designed to recoverthe cost ofproviding the regulated services,and
in view ofdemand forthe regulated services and the level ofcompetition,it is reasonable to assume that rates can be charged to and collected from
customers at levels that will recover costs.
Regulatory accounting practieett require certain coatsand/or obligations(such as incurred powerand natural gas costs not currently reflected in rates,but expected to be recovered or
refunded in the future),to be reflected as deferred cha%es or credits on the Balance Sheets.These costs and/or obligations are not reflected in the Statements oflncome until the period
during which matching revenues are recognized.The Company also has decoupling revenue deferrals.See Note 2 for discussion on decoupling revenue deferrals.
Ifat some point in the future the Company determines it no longer meets the criteria for continued application ofregulatory accounting practices for all or a portion of its regulated
operations,the Company could be:
required to write offits regulatory assets,and
precluded from the future deferral of costs or decoupled revenues not recovered through rates at the time such amounts are incurred,even ifthe Company
expected to recover these amounts from customers in the future.
Unamordzed Debt Expense
Unamortized debt expense includes debt issuance costs that are amortized over the life ofthe related debt.
Unamortized Debt Repurchase Costs
Forthe Company's Washington regulatory jurisdiction and for any debt repurchases beginning in 2007 in all jurisdictions,premiums and discounts paid to repurchase debt are
amortized overthe remaining life ofthe original debt repurchased or,ifnew debt is issued in connection with the repurchase,these amounts are amortized overthe life ofthe new debt.
In the Company's other regulatory jurisdictions,premiums or discounts paid to repurchase debt prior to 2007 are being amortized over the average remaining maturity ofoutstanding
debt when no new debt was issued in connection with the debt repurchase.The premium and discount costs are recovered orretumed to customers through retail rates as a component
of interest expense.
Appropriated Retained Earnings
In accordance with the hydroelectric licensing requirements ofsection 10(d)ofthe Federal Power Act(FPA),the Company maintains an appropriated retained earnings account for
earnings in excess ofthe specified rate ofretum on the Company's investment in the licenses for its various hydroelectric projects.Per section 10(d)ofthe FPA,the Company must
maintain these excess eaniirigs in au appropriated retained earnings account until the termination ofthe licensing agreements or apply them to reduce the net investment in the
licenses ofthe hydroelectric projects at the discretion ofthe FERC.The Company calculates the earnings in excess ofthe specified rate ofretum on an annual basis,usually during the
second quarter.
The appropriated retained earnings amounts included in retained earnings were as follows as ofDecember3l(dollars in millions):
2024 2023
Appropriated retained earnings $59 $57
Contingencies
The Company has unresolved regulatory,legal and tax issues which have inherently uncertain outcomes.The Company accrues a loss contingency ifit is probable that a liability has
been incurred and the amount ofthe loss or impairment can be reasonably estimated.The Company also discloses loss contingencies that do not meet these conditions for accrual,if
there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss may be incurred.As ofDecember 31,2024,the Company has not recorded significant amounts related to unresolved
contingencies.See Note 15 for further discussion ofthe Company's commitments and contingencies.
Equity in Earnings(Losses)of Subsidiaries
The Company records all the earnings(losses)from its subsidiaries under the equity method.The Company had the following equity in earnings(losses)of its subsidiaries forthe
years ended December 31(dollars in millions):
2024 2023
Avista Capital $ (6) $ (4)
AERC g g
Total equity in earnings of subsidiary companies $ 2 $ 4
Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of events occurring after December 31,2024 up to February 25,2025,the date that Avista Corp.'s GAAP financial statements were issued and
has updated such evaluation for disclosure purposes through the date ofthis filing.These financial statements include all necessary adjustments and disclosures resulting from these
evaluations.
NOTE 2.REVENUE
The core principle ofthe revenue recognition model is that an entity should identify the various performance obligations in a contract,allocate the transaction price among the
performance obligations and recognize revenue when(or as)the entity satisfies each performance obligation.
Utility Revenues
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
General
The majority ofAvista Corp.'s revenue is from rate-regulated sales of electricity and natural gas to retail customers,which has two performance obligations,(1)having service
available for a specified period(typically a month at a time)and(2)the delivery ofenergy to customers.The total energy price generally has a fixed component(basic charge)related
to having service available and a usage-based component,related to the delivery and consumption ofenergy.The commodity is sold and/ordelivered to and consumed by the
customer simultaneously,and the provisions ofthe relevant utility commission authorization determine the charges the Company may bill the customer.Since all revenue recognition
criteria are met upon the delivery ofenergy to customers,revenue is recognized immediately.
In addition,the sale of electricity and natural gas is governed by the various state utility commissions,which set rates,charges,terms and conditions ofservice,and prices.
Collectively,these rates,charges,terms and conditions are included in a"tariff,"which governs all aspects ofthe provision ofregulated services.Tariffs are only permitted to be
changed through a rate-setting process involving an independent,third-party regulator empowered by statute to establish rates that bind customers.Thus,all regulated sales by the
Company are conducted subject to the regulator-approved tariff.
Tariffsales involve the current provision ofcommodity service(electricity and/or natural gas)to customers fora price that generally has a basic charge and a usage-based component.
Tariffrates also include certain pass-through costs to customers such as natural gas costs,retail revenue credits and other miscellaneous regulatory items that do not impact net income,
but can cause total revenue to fluctuate significantly up or down compared to previous periods.The commodity is sold and/or delivered to and consumed by the customer
simultaneously,and the provisions ofthe relevant tariff determine the charges the Company may bill the customer,payment due date,and other pertinent rights and obligations of
both parties.Generally,tariffsales do not involve a written contract.Since all revenue recognition criteria are met upon the delivery ofenergy to customers,revenue is recognized at
that time.
Unhilled Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The determination ofthe volume ofenergy sales to individual customers is based on the reading oftheirmeters,which occurs on a systematic basis throughout the month(once per
month for each individual customer).At the end ofeach calendarmonth,the amount ofenergy delivered to customers since the date ofthe last meterreading is estimated and the
corresponding unbilled revenue is estimated and recorded.The Company's estimate ofunbilled revenue is based on:
the number of customers,
tariffrates,
meter reading dates,
actual native load for electricity,
actual throughput for natural gas,and
electric line losses and natural gas system losses.
Any difference between actual and estimated revenue is recorded in the following month when the meter reading and customer billing occurs.
Accounts receivable includes unbilled energy revenues ofthe following amounts as of December 31(dollars in millions):
2024 2023
Unbilled accounts receivable $ 72 $ 76
Non-Derivative Wholesale Contracts
The Company has certain wholesale contracts that are not accounted for as derivatives and are considered revenue from contracts with customers.Revenue is recognized as energy is
delivered to the customer or the service is available for a specified period of time,consistent with the discussion ofrate regulated sales above.
Alternative Revenue Programs(Decoupling)
Alternative revenue programs are contracts between an entity and a regulator of utilities,not a contract between an entity and a customer.GAAP requires the presentation ofrevenue
arising from alternative revenue programs separately from revenues arising from contracts with customers on the Statements of Income.The Company's decoupling mechanisms(also
known as a FCAin Idaho)qualify as alternative revenue programs.Decoupling revenue deferrals are recognized in the Statements of Income during the period they occur(i.e.during
the period ofrevenue shortfall orexcess due to fluctuations in customerusage),subject to certain limitations,and a regulatory asset or liability is established which will be surcharged
orrebated to customers in future periods.GAAP requires that loran alternative revenue program like decoupling,the revenue must be expected to be collected from customers within
24 months ofthe deferral to qualify for recognition in the Statements of Income.Amounts included in the Company's decoupling program that are not expected to be collected from
customers within 24 months are not recorded in the financial statements until the period in which revenue recognition criteria are met.The amounts expected to be collected from
customers within 24 months represents an estimate made by the Company on an ongoing basis due to it being based on the volumes ofelectric and natural gas sold to customers on a
go-forward basis.
The Company records alternative program revenues under the gross method,which is to amortize the decoupling regulatory asset/liability to the alternative revenue program line item
on the Statements of Income as it is collected from or refunded to customers.The cash passing between the Company and the customers is presented in revenue from contracts with
customers since it is a portion ofthe overall tariffpaid by customers.This method results in a gross-up to both revenue from contracts with customers and revenue from alternative
revenue programs,but has a net zero impact on total revenue.Depending on whether the previous deferral balance being amortized was a regulatory asset or regulatory liability,and
depending on the size and direction ofthe current year deferral of surcharges and/or rebates to customers,it could result in negative alternative revenue program revenue during the
year.
Derivative Revenue
Most wholesale electric and natural gas transactions(including both physical and financial transactions),and the sale of fuel are considered derivatives,which are disclosed separately
from revenue from contracts with customers.Revenue is recognized for these items upon the settlement/expiration ofthe derivative contract.Derivative revenue includes transactions
entered into and settled within the same month.
Other Utility Revenue
Other utility revenue includes rent,sales ofmaterials,late fees and other charges that do not represent contracts with customers.This revenue is excluded from revenue from contracts
with customers,as this revenue does not represent items where a customer is a party that has contracted with the Company to obtain goods or services that are an output ofthe
Company's ordinary activities in exchange for consideration.As such,these revenues are presented separately from revenue from contracts with customers.
Other Considerations for Utility Revenues
Gross Versus Net Presentation
Utility-related taxes collected from customers(primarily state excise taxes and city utility taxes)are imposed on Avista Corp.as opposed to being imposed on customers;therefore,
Avista Corp.is the taxpayer and records these transactions on a gross basis in revenue from contracts with customers and operating expense(taxes otherthan income taxes).
Utility-related taxes included in revenue from contracts with customers were as follows for the years ended December 31(dollars in millions):
2024 2023
Utility-related taxes $81 $75
Significant Judgments and Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
The only significant judgments involving revenue recognition are estimates surrounding unbilled revenue and receivables from contracts with customers and estimates surrounding
the amount of decoupling revenues that will be collected from customers within 24 months(discussed above).
The Company has certain capacity arrangements,where the Company has a contractual obligation to provide either electric ornatural gas capacity to its customers for a fixed fee.
Most ofthese arrangements are paid for in arrears by the customers and do not result in deferred revenue and only result in receivables from the customers.The Company has one
capacity agreement where the customer makes payments throughout the year.As of December 31,2024,the Company estimates it had unsatisfied capacity performance obligations of
$2 million,which will be recognized as revenue in future periods as the capacity is provided to the customers.These performance obligations are not reflected in the financial
statements,as the Company has not received payment for these services.
NOTE 3.LEASES
The core principle of lease accounting is that an entity should recognize the ROU assets and liabilities from leases on the balance sheet and depreciate or amortize the asset and
liability overthe term ofthe lease,as well as provide disclosure to enable users ofthe financial statements to assess the amount,timing,and uncertainty of cash flows from leases.For
regulatory reporting,the FERC provided prescribed accounts for the ROU assets and liabilities,with the ROU assets being included in utility plant(FERC account 101)and the lease
liabilities being included in capital lease obligations(FERC account 227).These accounts are different than the accounts allowed for in GAAPreporting,which results in a
FERC/GAAP difference.
Significant Judgments and Assurnptions
The Company determines ifan arrangement is a lease,as well as its classification,at its inception.
ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term,and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments.Operating
lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date ofthe agreement based on the present value oflease payments over the lease term.As most ofthe
Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate,the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the
present value oflease payments.The implicit rate is used when it is readily determinable.The operating lease ROU assets also includes lease payments made and exclude lease
incentives,if any,that accrue to the benefit ofthe lessee.
Lease terns may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option.Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the lease term.The difference between lease expense and cash paid for leased assets is recognized as a regulatory asset or regulatory liability.
Description ofLeases
Operating Leases
The Company's most significant operating lease is with the State of Montana associated with submerged land around the Company's hydroelectric facilities in the Clark Fork River
basin,which expires in 2046.The terms ofthis lease are subject to adjustment-depending on the outcome of ongoing litigation between the State of Montana and NorthWestem.In
addition,the State of Montana and Avista Corp,were engaged in litigation regarding lease terms,including how much money,ifany,the State of Montana should return to Avista
Corp-;however,that litigation was dismissed as premature pending the outcome ofthe ongoing litigation between the State of Montana and NorthWestem.Any reduction in future
lease payments orthe return to Avista Corp.ofamounts previously paid will be included in the future ratemaking process.
In addition to the lease with the State of Montana,the Company has other operating leases for land associated with its utility operations,as well as communication sites which support
network and radio communications within its service territory.The Company's leases have remaining terms of 1 to 69 years.Most oftbe Company's leases include options to extend
the lease term for periods of 5 to 50 years.Options are exercised at the Company's discretion.
Certain ofthe Company's lease agreements include rental payments which are periodically adjusted over the term ofthe agreement based on the consumerprice index.The Company's
lease agreements do not include material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
In March 2023,the Company entered into an agreement with Rathdmm Power,LLC amending and restating a PPAfor the output ofthe Lancaster Plant.The restated PPA meets the
accounting definition ofa lease,and all payments are variable in nature,based on capacity,usage,or performance ofthe plant.Therefore,there is no lease obligation or corresponding
ROU asset recorded by the Company related to this agreement.The variable lease costs related to this agreement are included in resource costs on the Statements ofhlcome.
Avista Corp.does not record leases with a term of 12 months or less in the Balance Sheets.Total short-term lease costs for 2024 are immaterial.

NOTE 4.DERIVATIVES AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Energy Commodity Derivatives
Avista Corp.is exposed to market risks relating to changes in electricity and natural gas commodity prices and certain other fuel prices.Market risk is,in general,the risk of
fluctuation in the market price ofthe commodity being traded and is influenced primarily by supply and demand.Market risk includes the fluctuation in the market price of associated
derivative commodity instruments.Avista Corp.utilizes derivative instruments,such as forwards,futures,swap derivatives and options to manage the various risks relating to these
commodity price exposures.Avista Corp.has an energy resources risk policy and control procedures to manage these risks.
As part ofAvista Corp.'s resource procurement and management operations in the electric business,Avista Corp.engages in an ongoing process ofreseurce optimization,which
involves the economic selection from available energy resources to serve Avista Corp.'s load obligations and the use of these resources to capture available economic value through
wholesale market transactions.These include sales and purchases ofelectric capacity and energy,fuel forelectric generation,and derivative contracts related to capacity,energy and
fuel.Such transactions are part ofthe process ofmatching resources with load obligations and hedging a portion ofthe related financial risks.These transactions range from terms of
intra-hour up to multiple years.
As part ofits resource procurement and management ofits natural gas business,Avista Corp.makes continuing projections ofits natural gas loads and assesses available natural gas
resources including natural gas storage availability.Natural gas resource planning typically includes peak requirements,low and average monthly requirements and delivery
constraints from natural gas supply locations to Avista Corp:s distribution system.However,daily variations in natural gas demand can be significantly different than monthly
demand projections.Based on these projections,Avista Corp.plans and executes a series oftransactions to hedge a portion ofits projected natural gas requirements through forward
market transactions and derivative instruments.These transactions may extend as much as three natural gas operating years(November through October)into the future.Avista Corp.
also leaves a significant portion of its natural gas supply requirements unhedged for purchase in short-term and spot markets.
Avista Corp.plans for sufficient natural gas delivery capacity to serve its retail customers fora theoretical peak day event.Avista Corp.generally has more pipeline and storage
capacity than what is needed during periods other than a peak day.Avista Corp.optimizes its natural gas resources by using market opportunities to generate economic value that
mitigates the fixed costs.Avista Corp.also optimizes its natural gas storage capacity by purchasing and storing natural gas when prices are traditionally lower,typically in the summer,
and withdrawing during higher priced months,typically during the winter.Howeve0 ifmarket conditions and prices indicate that Avista Corp.should buy or sell natural gas at other
times during the year;Avista Corp,engages in optimization transactions to capture value in the marketplace.Natural gas optimization activities include,but are not limited to,
wholesale market sales ofsutplYsnatural gas supplies,purchases and sales ofnatural gas to optimize use ofpipeline and storage capacity,and participation in the transportation
capacity release market.

As ofDecember 31,2023,there were no expected deliveries ofenergy commodity derivatives after 2026.
(1)Physical transactions represent commodity transactions in which Avista Corp.will take or make delivery ofeither electricity or natural gas;financial transactions represent
derivative instruments with delivery of cash in the amount ofthe benefit or cost but with no physical delivery ofthe commodity,such as futures,swap derivatives,options,or
forward contracts.
The electric and natural gas derivative Contracts above will be included in either power supply costs ornatural gas supply costs during the period they are scheduled to be delivered
and will be included in the various deferral and recovery mechanisms(ERM,PCA,and PGAs),or in the general rate case process,and are expected to be recovered through retail rates
from customers.
Foreign Currency Exchange Derivatives
Asignificant portion ofAvista Corp.'s natural gas supply(including fuel for power generation)is obtained from Canadian sources.Most ofthose transactions are executed in U.S.
dollars,which avoids foreign currency risk.Aportion of Avista Corp:s short-term natural gets transactions and long-term Canadian transportation contracts are committed based on
Canadian currency prices.The short term natural gas transactions are settled within 60 days with U.S.dollars.Avista Corp.hedges a portion ofthe foreign currency risk by purchasing
Canadian currency exchange derivatives when such commodity transactions are initiated.The foreign currency exchange derivatives and the unhedged foreign currency risk have not
had a material effect on Avista Corp:s financial condition,results of operations or cash flows and these differences in cost related to currency fluctuations are included with natural gas
supply costs for ratemaking.
The following table summarizes the foreign currency exchange derivatives outstanding as ofDecember 31(dollars in millions):
2024 2023
Number of contracts 22 S
Notional amount(in United States dollars) $2 $—
Notional amount(in Canadian dollars) 2 —
Interest Rafe Snvap Derivatives
Avista Corp.is affected by fluctuating interest rates related to a portion of its existing debt,and future borrowing requirements.Avista Corp.may hedge a portion of its interest rate risk
with financial derivative instruments,including interest rate swap derivatives.These interest rate swap derivatives are considered economic hedges against fluctuations in future cash
flows associated with anticipated debt issuances.
The following table summarizes the unsettled interest rate swap derivatives outstanding as ofthe balance sheet date indicated below(dollars in millions):
Mandatory Cash
Balance Sheet Date Number of Contracts Notional Amount Settlement Date
December 31,2024 1 $ 10 2025
December 31,2023 2 $ 20 2024
1 10 2025
The fairvalue ofoutmanding interest rate swap derivatives can vary significantly from period to period depending on the total notional amount ofswap derivatives outstanding and
fluctuations in market interest rates compared to the interest rates fixed by the swaps.Avista Corp.is required to make cash payments to settle the interest rate swap derivatives when
the fixed rates are higher than prevailing market rates at the date ofsettlement.Conversely,Avista Corp.receives cash to settle its interest rate swap derivatives when prevailing market
rates at the time ofsettlement exceed the fixed swap rates.
Summary ofOursranding Derivative Instruments
The amounts recorded on the Balance Sheets as ofDecember 31,2024 and December 31,2023 reflect the offsetting ofderivative assets and liabilities where a legal right ofoffset
exists.

Exposure to Demands for Collateral
Avista Corp.'s derivative contracts often require collateral(in the form ofcash or letters ofcredit)or othercredit enhancements,or reductions or terminations of a portion ofthe
contract through cash settlement.In the event ofchanges in market prices ora downgrade in Avista Corp.'s credit ratings or other established credit criteria,additional collateral may
be required.In periods ofprice volatility,the level of exposure can change significantly.As a result,sudden and significant demands may be made against Avista Corp.'s credit
laeilities and cash.Avista Corp.actively monitors the exposure to possible collateral calls and takes steps to mitigate capital requirements.
The following table presents collateral outstanding related to its derivative instruments as ofDecember 31(dollars in millions):

Letters ofcredit outstanding 12 20
There was no collateral or letters of credit outstanding related to interest rate swap derivatives as ofDecember 31,2024 and December 31,2023.
Certain ofAvista Corp.'s derivative instruments contain provisions requiring Avista Corp.to maintain an"Investment grade"credit rating from the majoreredit rating agencies.If
AvistaCorygi credit ratings were to fall below"investment grade,'it would be in violation ofthese provisions,and the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request
immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions.

NOTE 5.JOINTLYOWNED ELECTRIC FACILITIES
The Company has a 15 percent ownership interest in Units 3 and 4 ofColstrip,and provides financing for its ownership interest in the project.In January 2023,the Company entered
into an agreement to transferits ownership in Colstrip Units 3 and 4 to Northwestern on December 31,2025.The Company will retain responsibility for remediation obligations in
existence at the time the transaction closes.See further discussion of the transaction within Note 15.
Pursuant to the ownership and operating agreements among the co-owners.the Company's share ofrelated fuel costs as well as operating expenses forplant in service are included in
the corresponding accounts in the Statements oflncome.The Company's share ofutility plant in service for Colstrip and accumulated depreciation(inclusive ofthe ARO assets and
accumulated amortization)were as follows as of December 31(dollars in millions):
Utility plant in service $ 2024 401 $ 2023 394
Accumulated depreciation
(355) (334)
See Note 6 for further discussion ofAROs.
While the obligations and liabilities with respect to Colstrip are to be shared among the co-owners on a pro-rata basis,many ofthe environmental liabilities are joint and several under
the law,so that if any co-owner failed to pay its share of such liability,the other co-owners(or any one of them)could be required to pay the defaulting co-owner's share(or the entire
liability).
NOTE 6.ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
The Company has recorded liabilities for future AROs to:
restore coal ash containment ponds and coal holding areas at Colstrip,
cap a landfill at the Kettle Falls Plant,and
remove plant and restore the land at the Coyote Springs 2 site at the termination ofthe land lease.
Due to an inability to estimate a range of settlement dates,the Company cannot estimate a liability for the:
removal and disposal of certain transmission and distribution assets,and
abandonment and decommissioning of certain hydroelectric generation and natural gas storage facilities.
In 2015,the EPAissued a final rule regarding CCRs.Colstrip produeesthis byproduct.The CCR rule has been the subject ofongoing litigation.In August 2018,the D.C.Circuit
struck down provisions ofthe rule.The rule includes technical requirements for CCR landfills and surface impoundments.The Colstrip owners developed a multi-year compliance
plan to address the CCR requirements and existing state obligations.
In April 2024 and January 2025,the EPA issued additional final rules building on the 2015 regulations and regulating CCR management units at active and inactive powerplants.
The Colstrip owners are performing analyses to determine whether any potential changes to the existing remediation efforts are required.Based on the results of these analyses to date,
the Company believes there will not be a material change to the asset retirement obligation forColstrip related to these final rules.
The actual asset retirement costs related to the CCR rule requirements may vary substantially from the estimates used to record the ARO due to the uncertainty and evolving nature of
the compliance strategies that will be used and the availability ofdata used to estimate costs,such as the quantity ofcoal ash present at certain sites and the volume of fill that will be
needed to cap and cover certain impoundments.The Company updates its estimates as new information becomes available.The Company expects to seek recovery ofcosts related to
complying with the CCR rile through the ratemaking process.
In addition to the above,under a 2018 Administrative Order on Consent and ongoing negotiations with the Montana Department orEcological Quality,the owners ofColstrip are
required to provide financial assurance,primarily in the form of surety bonds,to secure each owner's pro-rata shareorvarious anticipated closure and remediation ofthe ash pondsond
coal holding areas.The amount of financial assurance required ofeach owner may,like the ARO,vary substantially due to the uncertainty and evolving nature ofanticipaled closure
and remediation activities,and as those activities are completed over time.
The following table documents the changes in the Company's asset retirement obligation during the years ended December3l(dollars in millions):

NOTE 7.PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering the majority ofregular full-time non-union employees at Avista Corp.hired prior to January 1,2014 and regular full-time
union employees that were hired prior to January 1,2024.Employees eligible for the plan continue to accrue benefits.Individual benefits under this plan are based upon the
employee's years of service,date of hire and average compensation as specified in the plan.Non-union employees hired on or after January 1,2014 and union employees hired on or
after January 1,2024 participate in a defined contribution 401(k)plan in lieu ofa defined benefit pension plan.The Company's funding policy is to contribute at least the minimum
amounts required to be funded under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act,but not more than the maximum amounts currently deductible for income tax purposes.The
Company contributed$10 million in cash each year to the pension plan in 2024 and 2023.The Company expects to contribute$10 million in cash to the pension plan in 2025.
In 2022,the defined benefit pension plan lump sum payments exceeded the annual service and interest costs for the plan.This resulted in a partial settlement ofthe plan,and the
Company recorded a settlement loss of$12 million for the previously unrecognized losses in 2022.This loss was deferred as a regulatory asset and is being amortized over 12 years in
accordance with regulatory accounting orders.
In 2024,the Company offered pension participants an election to leave the pension plan for an alternative defined contribution 401(k)plan.In April 2024,it was determined that due
to the number ofparticipaniselecting to leave the pension plan,as well as the insulting decrease in expected future service,this event resulted in a curtailment ofthe pension plan,
and an associated gain ofSI million for the reduction in the benefit obligation.This gain was offset against the unrecognized net actuarial loss(and recorded within a regulatory
ass").The cunailment triggered a remeasurement ofpension plan.The remcasurement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results ofopemtions.
The Company has a SERPproviding additional pension benefits to certain executive officers and certain key employees ofthe Company.The SERPpmvides benefits to individuals
whose benefits under the defined benefit pension plan are reduced due to the application of Section 415 ofthe Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the deferral of salary under deferred
compensation plans.The liability and expense forthis plan are included as pension benefits in the tables included in this Note.
The Company expects benefit payments underthe pension plan and the SERPwill total(dollars in millions):
Total 2030-
2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2034
Expected benefit payments $ 44 $ 45 $ 45 $ 46 $ 46 $ 242
The expected long-term rate ofretum on plan assets is based on past performance and economic forecasts for the types ofinvestments held by the plan.In selecting a discount rate,the
Company considers yield rates for highly rated corporate bond portfolios with maturities similar to that ofthe expected term ofpension benefits.
The Company provides cennin health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retired employees hired prior to January I,2014.The Company accrues the estimated cost of
postretimmienl benefit obligations during the years employees provide services.The liability and expense ofthis plan are included as other postretirement benefits.Non-union
employees hired on or after January 1,2014,will have access to the retiree medical plan upon retirement;however;Avista Corp.will no longer provide a contribution toward their
medical premium.
The Company has a Health Reimbursement Arrangement(HRA)to provide employees with tax-advantaged funds to pay for allowable medical expenses upon retirement.The amount
earned by the employee is fixed on the retirement date based on the employee's years of service and the ending salary.The liability and expense ofthe HRA are included as other
postretirement benefits.
The Company provides death benefits to beneficiaries of executive officers who die during their term ofoffice or after retirement.Underthe plan,an executive officers designated
beneficiary will receive a payment equal to twice the executive officers annual base salary at the time ofdeath(or ifdeath occurs after retirement,a payment equal to twice the
executive officer's total annual pension benefit).The liability and expense forthis plan are included as otherpostretirement benefits.
The Company expects benefit payments under other postretirement benefit plans will total(dollars in millions):
Total 2030-
2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2034
Expected benefit payments $ 7 $ 7 S 7 $ 7 $ 7 $ 38
The Company expects to contribute$7 million to other postretirement benefit plans in 2025.The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for its pension and other
postretirement benefit plans.
The following tables set forth the pension and other postretirement benefit plan disclosures as of December 31,2024 and 2023 and the components ofnet periodic benefit costs for

Plan Assets
TheRnance Committee ofthe Board of Directors approves investment policies,objectives and strategies that seek an appropriate return for the pension plan and other postretirement
benofttplans and reviews and approves changes to the investment and funding policies.
The Company has contracted with investment consultants who are responsible for monitoring the individual investment managers.The investment managers'performance and related
individual fund performance is periodically reviewed by an internal benefits committee and by the Finance Committee to monitor compl iance with investment policy objectives and
strategies.
Pension plan assets are invested in mutual funds,and trusts and partnerships that hold marketable debt and equity securities and mal estate.In seeking to obtain a return that aligns
with the funded status ofthe pension plan,the investment consultant recommends allocation percentages by asset classes.These recommendations am reviewed by the internal
benefits committee,which then recommends their adoption by the Finance Committee.The Finance Committee has established target investment allocation percentages by asset
classes and investment ranges for each asset class of55 percent in equity securities,40 percent in debt securities,and 5 percent in real estate.The target investment allocation
percentages are typically the midpoint ofthe established range.
The fairvalue ofpension plan assets invested in debt and equity securities was based primarily on fairvalue(market prices).The fair value of investment securities traded on a
national securities exchange is determined based on the reported last sales price;securities traded in the over-thc-counter market am valued at the last reported bid price.Investment
securities forwhich market prices am not readily available or for which market prices do not represent the value at the time ofpricing,the investment manager estimates fairvalue
based upon other inputs(including valuations of securities comparable in coupon,rating,maturity and industry).
Pension plan and other postretirement plan assets with fairvalues are measured using net asset value(NAV)are excluded from the fairvalue hierarchy and included as reconciling
items in the tables below.
The plan's investments in common/collective trusts have redemption limitations that permit quarterly redemptions following notice requirements of45 to 60 days.Most ofthe plan's
investments in closely held investments and partnership interests have redemption limitations ranging from bi-monthly to semi-annually following redemption notice requirements of
60 to 90 days.

The fair value ofotherpostretirement plan assets invested in debt and equity securities was based primarily on market prices.The fair value ofinvestment securities traded on a
national securities exchange is determined based on the last reported sales price;securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last reported bid price.For
investment securities for which market prices are not readily available,the investment manager determines fair value based upon other inputs(including valuations ofsecurities
comparable in coupon,rating,maturity and industry).The target asset allocation was 60 percent equity securities and 40 percent debt securities in both 2024 and 2023.
The fair value ofotherpostretimment plan assets was determined to be$67 million as ofDecember 31,2024 and$58 million as ofDecember 31,2023.The assets consist ofa
balanced index mutual fund,which is a single mutual fund that includes a percentage of U.S.equity and fixed income securities and international equity and fixed income securities.
This mutual fund is classified as Level 1 in the fir value hierarchy(see Note 18 for a description ofthe fair value hierarchy).
40I(k)Plans and Executive Deferral Plan
Avista Corp.has a salary deferral 401(k)plan that is a defined contribution plan and covers substantially all employees.Employees can make contributions to their respective
accounts in the plans on a pre-tax basis up to the maximum amount permitted by law.The Company matches a portion ofthe salary deferred by each participant according to the
schedule in the respective plan.
Employer matching contributions were as follows for the years ended December 31(dollars in millions):
2024 2023
Employer401(k)matching contributions $ 16 $ 15
The Company has an Executive Deferral Plan.This plan allows executive officers and other key employees the opportunity to deferuntil the earlier oftheir retirement,termination,
disability or death,up to 75 percent of theirbase salary and/orup to 100 percent of their incentive payments.Deferred compensation funds are held by the Company in a Rabbi Trust.
There were deferred compensation assets corresponding deferred compensation liabilities on the Balance Sheets ofthe following amounts as ofDecember3l(dollars in millions):

Deferred compensation assets and liabilities $ 9 $ 8
NOTE 8.ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES .�-
Income Tax Expense
Areconciliation of federal income taxes derived from the statutory federal tax rate of 21 percent applied to income before income taxes is as follows for the years ended December 31
(dollars in millions):
2024 2023
Federal income taxes at statutory rates $ 38 21.0% $ 27 21.0%
Increase(decrease)in tax resulting from:
Tax effect ofregulatory treatment ofutility

Other (2) (0.9) (2) (1.6)
Total income tax expense(benefit) $ 1 0.8% S (36) (27.6)%
(1)The Company's general rate cases included approval ofbase rate increases,offset by tax customer credits.As the tax customer credits are returned to customers,this results in
a decrease to income tax expense due to flowing through the benefits related to meters and mixed service costs.Once these tax customer credits have been applied to
customers and are exhausted,income tax expense will increase.
The realization ofdeferred income tax assets is dependent upon the ability to generate taxable income in future periods.The Company evaluated available evidence supporting the
realization ofits deferred income tax assets and determined it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will be realized.
As of December 31,2024,the Company had S 19 million of state tax credit carryforwards.Ofthe total amount,the Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will only be
able to utilize S 11 million ofthe state tax credits.As such,the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of$8 million against the state tax credit carryforwards and reflected the
net amount of$11 million as an asset as of December 31,2024.State tax credits expire from 2025 to 2038.
Status oflnternal Revenue Service(IRS)and State Examinations
The Company and its eligible subsidiaries file consolidated federal income tax returns.All tax years after2020 are open loran IRS tax examination.The IRS is reviewing tax year
2019.
The Company files state income tax returns in certain jurisdictions,including Idaho,Oregon,Montana and Alaska.Subsidiaries are charged or credited with the tax effects of their
operations on a stand-alone basis.
All tax years after 2020 are open for examination in Idaho,Oregon,Montana and Alaska.
The Company believes open tax years for federal or state income taxes will not result in adjustments that would be significant to the financial statements.
NOTE 9.ENERGYPURCHASE CONTRACTS
Avista Corp.has contracts forthe purchase offuel for thermal generation,natural gas forresale and various agreements forthe purchase or exchange ofelectric energy with other
entities.The remaining term ofthe contracts range from one month to twenty-five years.

These energy purchase contracts were entered into as part of Avista Corp:s obligation to serve its retail electric and natural gas customers'energy requirements,including contracts
entered into for resource optimization.These costs are recovered either through base retail rates or adjustments to retail rates as part ofthe power and natural gas cost deferral and
recovery mechanisms.
The future contractual commitments forpower resources include fixed contractual amounts related to the Company's contracts with Public Utility Districts(PUDs)to purchase portions
ofthe output of certain generating facilities.Although Avista Corp.has no investment in the PUD generating facilities,the conlroeloobligate Avista Corp.to pay certain minimum
amounts whether or not the facilities are operating.The cost ofpower obtained under the contracts,including payments made when a Areility is not operating,is included in utility
resource costs in the Statements of Income.The contractual amounts included above consist of Avista Corp:s share ofexisting debt service cost and its proportionate share ofthe
variable operating expenses ofthese projects.The minimum amounts payable under these contracts are based in part on the proportionate share ofthe debt service requirements ofthe
PUD's revenue bonds for which the Company is indirectly responsible.The Company's total future debt service obligation associated with the revenue bonds outstanding at
December 31,2024(principal and interest)was$267 million.

The bonds are secured by equal principal amounts ornon-transferable first mortgage bonds ofthe Company.Avista Corp.had purchased the Forsyth bonds upon original
issuance in Deccmber20lO and held the bonds until market conditions were favorable for remarketing the bonds to unaffiliated investors.In connection with the pricing of
the Forsyth bonds,the Company cash-settled hvo interest rate swap derivatives(notional aggregate amount ofS20 million)and received a net amount ofS4 million.See note

Substantially all of Avista Corp.'s owned properties are subject to the lien oftheir respective mortgage indentures.Under the Mortgages and Deeds of Trust(Mortgages)securing their
first mortgage bands(including secured medium-term notes),Avista Corp.may issue additional first mortgage bonds undertheir specific mortgage in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the sum of:
66-2/3 percent ofthe cost or fair value to the Company(whichever is lower)ofproperty additions ofthat entity which have not previously been made the basis ofany
application under that entity's Mortgage,or
an equal principal amount ofretired first mortgage bonds ofthat entity which have not previously been made the basis ofany application under that entity's Mortgage,or
deposit of cash.
Avista Corp.may not individually issue any additional first mortgage bonds(with certain exceptions in the case ofbonds issued on the basis ofretired bonds)unless the particular
entity issuing the bonds has"net earnings"(as defined in that entity's Mortgage)for any period of 12 consecutive calendar months out ofthe preceding 18 calendar months that were
at least twice the annual interest requirements on all mortgage securities at the time outstanding,including the first mortgage bonds to be issued,and on all indebtedness ofpriorrank.
As ofDecember 31,2024,property additions and retired bonds would have allowed,and the net earnings test would not have prohibited,the issuance of$1.5 billion by Avista Corp.
in an aggregate principal amount ofadditional first mortgage bonds,at an assumed interest rate of 8 percent.
NOTE 12.ADVANCES FROM ASSOCIATED COMPANIES
In 1997,the Company issued Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures,Series B,with a principal amount of$52 million to Avista Capital li,an affiliated
business trust formed by the Company.Avista Capital II issued$50 million of Preferred Trust Securities.The distribution rate on the Preferred Trust Securities is three-month CME
Term SOFR plus 1.137 percent.
The distribution rates paid were as follows during the years ended December 31:
2024 2023
Law distribution rate 5.64% 5.64%
High distribution rate 6.51% 6.55%
Distribution rate at the end ofthe year 5.64% 6.51%
Concurrent with the issuance ofthe Preferred Trust Securities,Avista Capital II issued S2 million ofCornmon Trust Securities to the Company.These Preferred Trust Securities may be
redeemed at the option of Avista Capital 11 at any time and mature on June 1,2037.In December2000,the Company purchased S 10 million ofthese Preferred Trust Securities.
The Company owns 100 percent of Avista Capital II and has solely and unconditionally guaranteed the payment ofdistributions on,and redemption price and liquidation amount for,
the Preferred Trust Securities to the extent Avista Capital II has funds available forsuch payments from the respective debt securities.Upon maturity or prior redemption ofsuch debt
securities,the Preferred Trust Securities will be mandatorily redeemed.
NOTE 13.FAIR VALUE
The carrying values ofcash and cash equivalents,special deposits,accounts and notes receivable,accounts payable and notes payable as shown on the Balance Sheets are reasonable
estimates oftheir fairvalues.The carrying values ofbonds and advances from associated companies as shown on the Balance Sheets may be different from the estimated fair value.See
below for the estimated fair value of bonds and advances from associated companies.
The fairvalue hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fairvalue.The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities(Level 1 measurements)and the lowest priority to fairvalues derived from unobservable inputs(Level 3 measurements).
The three levels ofthe fairvalue hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1-Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets orliabilities.Active markets are those in which transactions forthe asset or liability occur with
sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2-Pricing inputs are otherthan quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1,but which are either directly or indirectly observable as ofthe reporting date.Level 2
includes financial instruments valued using models or othervaluation methodologies.These models are primarily industry-standard models that considervarious assumptions,
including quoted forward prices for commodities,time value,volatility factors,and current market and contractual prices forthe underlying instruments,as well as otherrelevant
economic measures.Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term ofthe instrument,can be derived from observable data or are
supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.
Level -Pricing inputs include significant inputs generally unobservable from objective sources.These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result
in management's best estimate offair value.
Financial asselsand liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level ofinput that is significant to the fair value measurement.The Company's assessment ofthe
significance ofs particularinput to the fairvalue measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation offairvalue assets and liabilities and theirplacement within the fair
value hierarchy levels.The determination ofthe fair values incorporates various factors that include not only the credit standing ofthe counterparties involved and the impact of
credit enhancements(such as cash deposits and letters of credit),but also the impact of Avista Corp:s nonperformance risk on its liabilities.
The following table sets forth the carrying value and estimated fairvalue ofthe Company's financial instruments not reported at estimated fairvalue on the Balance Sheets as of
December 31(dollars in millions):
202J 2031
Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated

Bonds(Level 3) 1,444 1,089 1,360 1,089
Advances from associated companies(Level 3) 52 47 52 46
These estimates offair value oflong-term debt and long-term debt to affiliated trusts were primarily based on available market information,which generally consists ofestimated
market prices from third party brokers for debt with similar risk and terms.The price ranges obtained from the third party brokers consisted ofmarket prices of 57.68 to 105.474 percent
ofthe principal amount,where 100.00 represents the carrying value recorded on the Balance Sheets.Level 2long-term debt represents publicly issued bonds with quoted market
prices;however,due to their limited trading activity,they are classified as Level 2 because brokers must generate quotes and make estimates ifthere is no trading activity near a period
end.Level 3 long-term debt consists ofprivate placement bonds and debt to affiliated trusts,which typically have no secondary trading activity.Fairvalues in Level 3 are estimated
based on market prices from third party brokers using secondary market quotes for debt with similar risk and terms to generate quotes for Avista Corp.bonds.

(I)The Company is permitted to net derivative assets and derivative liabilities with the same counterparty when a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists.In addition,the
Company nets derivative assets and derivative liabilities against payables and receivables for cash collateral held or placed with these same counterparties.
(2)The Level 3 energy commodity derivative balances are associated with a natural gas exchange agreement.
The difference between the amount ofderivative assets and liabilities disclosed in respective levels in the table above and the amount ofderivative assets and liabilities disclosed on
the Balance Sheets is due to netting arrangements with certain counterparties.See Note 4 for additional discussion ofderivative netting.
To establish fair value for energy commodity derivatives,the Company uses quoted market prices and forward price curves to estimate the fait value ofenergy commodity derivative
instruments included in Level 2.Electric derivative valuations are performed using market quotes,adjusted for periods in between quotable periods.Natural gas derivative valuations
arc estimated using New York Mercantile Exchange pricing for similar instruments,adjusted for basin differences,using market quotes.Where observable inputs are available for
substantially the full term ofthe contract,the derivative asset or liability is included in Level 2.
To establish fair values for interest rate swap derivatives,the Company uses forward market curves for interest rates for the term ofthe swaps and discounts the cash flows back to
present value using an appropriate discount rate.The discount rate is calculated by third party brokers according to the terms ofthe swap derivatives and evaluated by the Company
forreasonabicness,with consideration given to the potential non-performance risk by the Company.Future cash flows ofthe interest rate swap derivatives are equal to the fixed
interest rate in the swap compared to the floating market interest rate multiplied by the notional amount foreach period.
Deferred compensation assets and liabilities represent funds held by the Company in a Rabbi Trust foran executive deferral plan.These funds consist ofactively traded equity and
bond funds with quoted prices in active markets.
Level Fair Value
Natural Gas Exchange Agreement
For the natural gas commodity exchange agreement,the Company uses the same Level 2 market quotes described above;however,the Company also estimates the purchase and sales
volumes(within con tmetual limits)as well as the timing ofthose transactions_Changing the liming ofvolume estimates changes the timing ofpurchases and sales,impacting which
brokered quote is used.Because the brokered quotes can vary significantly from period to period,the unobservable estimates ofthe timing and volume oftransactions can have a
significant impact on the calculated fair value.The Company currently estimates volumes and timing oftransactions based on a most likely scenario using historical data.Historically,
the timing and volume oftransactions are not highly correlated with market prices and market volatility.
As of December 31,2024,expected remaining transactions under the agreement were sales.The contract expires in April 2025.
The following table presents the quantitative information which was used to estimate the fairvalues ofthe Level 3 assets and liabilities above as ofDecember 31,2024(dollars in
millions,except mmBTU amounts):

NOTE 14.COMMON STOCK
The payment ofdividends on common stock could be limited by:
certain covenants applicable to preferred stock(when outstanding)contained in the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation,as amended(currently there
are no preferred shares outstanding),
certain covenants applicable to the Company's outstanding long-term debt and committed line of credit agreements,
the hydroelectric licensing requirements ofsection I0(d)ofthe FPA(seeNote 1),and
certain requirements underthe Oregon Public Utility Commission(OPUC)approval ofthe AERC acquisition in 2014.The OPUC's AERC acquisition order
requires Avista Corp.to maintain a capital structure ofno less than 40 percent common equity(inclusive of short-term debt).This limitation may be revised upon request
by the Company with approval from the OPUC.
The requirements ofthe OPUC approval ofthe AERC acquisition are the most restrictive.Under the OPUC restriction,the amount available for dividends at December 31,2024 was
$326 million.
The Company has 10 million authorized shares ofpreferred stock.The Company did not have preferred stock outstanding as of December 31,2024 and 2023.
Common Stock Issuances
The Company issued common stock for total net proceeds of$68 million in 2024.Most ofthese issuances were made through sales agency agreements underwhich the Company may
offerand sell new shares ofcommon stock from time to time through its sales agents.In 2024,1.8 million shares were issued under these agreements.
NOTE 15.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the course ofits business,the Company becomes involved in various claims,controversies,disputes and other contingent matters,including the items described in this Nate.Some
of these claims,controversies,disputes and other contingent matters involve litigation or other contested proceedings.For all such matters,the Company will vigorously protect and
defend its interests and pursue its rights.However,no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome ofany matter because litigation and other contested proceedings are subject to
numerous uncertainties.Formatters affecting Avista Corp.'s,the Company intends to seek,to the extent appropriate,recovery of incurred costs through the ratemaking process.
Climate Commitment Act
The CCArequires the Company to submit greenhouse gas emission reports to the Washington State Department of Ecology(Ecology)annually for its electric and natural gas entities.
The CCAthen requires the Company to contract with a third-party verifier to audit the emissions data in the emissions reports.In August 2024,the Company's third-party verifier
submitted to Ecology its verification report on the Company's 2023 emissions report.The verification report was issued with an adverse emissions data verification statement.hi
Scptember2024,in the absence ofs positive verification statement.Ecology assigned an emission level(AEL)to Avista Corp,based on information submitted by the Company's
third-party verifier.In late October 2024.the Company resubmitted a revised emissions report to the third-party verifier and Ecology.In Novcmber2024.the third-party verifier issued
a revised 2023 emissions report with a positive verification statement.In December 2024 Ecology issued a revised AEL for the 2023 emissions reporting year that was in line with the
Company's estimates.
Collective Bargaining Agreements
The Company's collective bargaining agreement with the IBEW represents 36 percent ofall Avista Corp.'s employees.The Company's largest represented group,representing
approximately 90 percent of Avista Corp.'s bargaining unit employees in Washington and Idaho.are covered under a four year agreement which expires in March 2025.The Company
and the IBEW began negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement in the fiml quarter of2 025.
Boyds Fire(State of Washington Department of Natural Resources a Avista)
In August 2019,the Company was served with a complaint,captioned"State of Washington Department of Natural Resources v.Avista Corporation,"seeking recovery of up to$4.4
million for fire suppression and investigation costs and related expenses incurred in connection with a wildfire that occurred in Ferry County,Washington,in August 2018.
Specifically,the complaint alleges the fire,which became known as the"Boyds Fire,"was caused by a dead ponderosa pine tree falling into an overhead distribution line,and that
Avista Corp.,along with its independent vegetation management contractors Asplundh Tree Company and CN Utility Consulting,were negligent in failing to identify and remove the
tree before it came into contact with the line.Avista Corp.disputes that it was negligent in failing to identify and remove the tree in question.Additional lawsuits were subsequently
filed by private landowners seeking$0.8 million in property damages as well as potential non-economic damages,and holders of insurance subrogation claims seeking recovery Of
$1.8 million in insurance proceeds purportedly paid to their insureds.
The lawsuits were filed in the Superior Court ofFerry County,Washington,and is scheduled for trial on July 7,2025.The Company continues to vigorously defend itself in the
litigation.However,at this time the Company is unable to predict the likelihood ofan adverse outcome or estimate a range ofpotential loss in the event of such an outcome.
Labor Day 2020 Windstorm/Babb Road Fire
In September 2 020,asevere windstorm occurred in eastern Washington and northern Naho.The extreme weather event resulted in customer outages and multiple wildfires in the
region,including the Babb Road Fire,which occurred near the town of Malden,Washington.The Babb Road Fire covered approximately 15,000 acres and destroyed approximately
220 structures.There are no reports ofpersonal injury or death resulting from the fire.
In May 2021 the Company learned the Washington Department ofNatural Resources(DNR)had completed its investigation and issued a report on the Babb Road Fire.
The DNR report concluded,among other things,that
the fire was ignited when a branch ofa multi-dominant Ponderosa Pine tree was broken offby the wind and fell on an Avista Corp.distribution line;
the tree was located approximately 30 feet from the center of Avista Corp:s distribution line and approximately 20 feet beyond Avista Corp.'s right-of-way;
the tree showed some evidence of insect damage,a small area of scarring where a lateral branch/leader(LBL)had broken off in the past,and some past signs of
Gall Rust disease.
The DNR report concluded that:"because ofthe unusual configuration ofthe tree,and its proximity to the powerline,a closer inspection was warranted.Anearer inspection ofthe tree
should have revealed the cut LBL ends and its previous failure,and necessitated determination ofthe failure potential ofthe adjacent LBL,implicated in starting the Babb Road Fire."
The DNR report acknowledged that,other than the multi-dominant nature ofthe tree,the conditions mentioned above would not have been easily visible without close-up inspection
of,or cutting into,the tree.The report also acknowledged that,while the presence of multiple tops would have been visible from the nearby roadway,the tree did not fail at a v-fork
due to the presence ofmultiple tops.The Company contends that applicable inspection standards did not require a closer inspection ofthe otherwise healthy tree,nor was the
Company negligent with respect to its maintenance,inspection or vegetation management practices.
Eleven lawsuits have been filed in connection with the Babb Road fire.Asplundh Tree Company and CN Utility Consulting,which both perform vegetation management services as
independent contractors to the Company,are also named as defendants in each ofthe lawsuits.The lawsuits include six subrogation actions filed by 51 insurance companies seeking
to recover approximately S21 million purportedly paid to insureds to date,and five actionson behalfof 128 individual plaintiffs.One ofthe private plaintiffactions was originally
filed as a class action lawsuit,but has since been amended to assert direct claims on behalfof 10 individual plaintiffs.In the course ofdiscovery,approximately 80 private plaintiffs
have provided information about their alleged damages.Based on information received to date,the 80 private plaintiffs claim damages ofappremimately S60 million.S21 million of
this claim is alleged noneconomic damages(i.e.emotional distress).The Company does not believe noneconomic damages are applicable in this case and will vigorously dispute
such claims.Approximately$6 million ofprivate plaintiffs'claimed damages have been covered by insurance or other forms ofreimbursement.
All proceedings,except for one action filed on September 1,2023 on behalfof three individual plaintiffs(the"Widman Action")have been consolidated in the Superior Court of
Spokane County Washington underthe lead action Blakeley v.Avista Corporation et al.,and variously assert causes ofaction fornegligence,private nuisance,and trespass(the
"Blakeley Proceeding").
In November2023,all parties to the Blakeley Proceeding agreed to a stipulated order which was presented to and entered by the Superior Court of Spokane County,Washington.The
order consolidates the Blakeley Proceeding fortrial(in addition to discovery and pro-trial proceedings)and bifurcates the trial into liability and damages phases,such that the initial
trial in the case will focus solely on whether the defendants are legally responsible for the Babb Road Fire.Atrial date on the liability phase is currently set for May 5,2025,but may
be continued given the current status of discovery.The Widman Action is set for trial on October 6,2025,
In addition,the stipulated order relating to the Blakeley Proceeding memorializes the plaintiffs'agreement to voluntarily dismiss all claims asserting inverse condemnation as a theory
ofliability,without prejudice to theirability to seek permission from the Court to refile those claims at a later date if they can showgood cause to do so.The Widman Action does not
include claims for inverse condemnation.The parties to the Blakeley Proceeding agreed to a preliminary mediation no lalerthan 60 days priorto the liability trial,and,ifthere is a
trial following that mediation and ifthe jury returns a verdict in the plaintiffs'favor in the liability trial,a second mediation within 90 days following the verdict focusing on damages.
The preliminary mediation is scheduled forthe first quarter of2025.Finally,the plaintiffs agreed to complete a damages questionnaire identifying all claimed damages being sought
in connection with the litigation.
Based on the facts and circumstances available to the Company through February 25,2025.the date through which the Company has evaluated the impacts ofevents occurring after
December3l,2024 as indicated under"Subsequent Events",the Company was unable to predict the likelihood ofan adverse outcome or estimate a range ofpotential loss in the event
ofsuch an outcome,and did not record an accrual for losses.Subsequent to February 25,2025,the Company has engaged in mediation discussions with the plaintiffs.Any
information associated with the Babb Road fire arising subsequent to February 25,2025 will be considered in a future period.
Orofino Fire
In August 2023.a fire subsequently referred to as the"Hospital Fire"started in windy conditions near Orofino,Idaho,burning 53 acres and seven primary residences,as well as several
outbuildings.The Idaho Department oft.ands investigated and has issued a report in which it concluded the fire was caused by an electrical fault igniting three separate spots which
then spread uphill.The Company has a distribution line in the area near the ignition point.The Company has to date found no evidence suggesting negligence on its part.Except for
two minor claims for damage to personal property which were resolved,the Company has not,al this time,received any claims in connection with the fire.The Company will
vigorously defend itselfin the event any additional claims are asserted;however at this time,it is unable to estimate the likelihood ofan adverse outcome nor the amount or range of a
potential loss in the event ofan adverse outcome.
Colstrip
Colsirip Owners Arbitration and Litigation
Colstrip Units 3 and 4 are owned by the Company,PacifiCorp,Portland General Electric(POE),and Puget Sound Energy(PSE)(collectively,the"Western CO.Owners'),as well as
NorthWestem and Talen Montana,LLC(Talen),as tenants in common under an Ownership and Operating Agreement,dated May 6,1981,as amended(O&O Agreement),in the
percentages set forth below:
Co-Owner Usti 3 Uoll 4
Avista 15% 15"�
PacifiCorp 10% 10%
PGE 20% 20%
PSE 25% 25%
NorthWestem — 30%
Talen 30% —
Colstrip Units 1 and 2,owned by PSE and Talen,were shut down in 2020 and are in the process of being decommissioned.The co-owners of Units 3 and 4 also own undivided
interests in facilities common to both Units 3 and 4,as well as in certain facilities common to all four Colstrip units.
The Washington Clean Energy Transformation Act(CETA),among other things,imposes deadlines by which each electric utility must eliminate from its electricity rates in
Washington the costs and benefits associated with coal-fired resources,such as Colstrip.The practical impact of CETAis electricity from such resources,including Colstrip,may no
longer be delivered to Washington retail customers after 2025.
Agreement Between Avista and North Western
In January 2023,the Company entered into an agreement with NorthWestem under which,subject to the terms and conditions specified in the agreement,the Company will transfer its
15 percent ownership in Colstrip Units 3 and 4 to NorthWestem.There is no monetary exchange included in the transaction.The transaction is scheduled to close on December 31,
2025 or such other date as the parties mutually agree upon.
Under the agreement,the Company will remain obligated through the close oflhc transaction to pay its share of(i)operating expenses,(ii)capital expenditures,but not in excess of
the portion allocable pro rasa to the portion of useful life(through 2030)expired through the close ofthe transaction,and(iii)site remediation expenses except certain costs relating
to post closing activities.in addition,the Company would enter into an agreement under which it would retain its voting rights with respect to decisions relating to remediation.
The Company will retain its Colstrip transmission system assets,which are excluded from the transaction.
The transaction is subject to the satisfaction ofcustomary closing conditions.Although the agreement was also contingent upon NorthWestem's ability to enter into a new coal supply
agreement by December 31,2024,NorthWestem has since waived that contingency.
The Company does not expect this transaction to have a direct material impact on its financial results.
Agreement Between PSE and Northwestern
In July 2024,PSE entered into an agreement with NorthWestem under which,PSE will transfer its 25 percent ownership in Col strip Units 3 and 4 to NorthWestem.There is no
monetary exchange included in the transaction.The transaction is scheduled to close on December 31,2025.
Burnett et al.v.Talen et al.
Multiple property owners initiated a legal proceeding(titled Burnett et al.v.7a1eri er al.)in the Montana District Court for Rosebud County against Tolen,PSE,Paei6Corp,PGE,
Avista Corp.,NorthWestem,and Westmoreland Rosebud Mining.The plaintiffs allege a failure to contain coal dust in connection with the operation ofColstrip,and seek unspecified
damages.The Colstrip owners reached a settlement with one ofthe litigants,Richard Bumett,loran amount ofless than 50.1 million.The settlement does not involve or implicate the
claims ofany other litigants.The Company will vigorously defend itselfin the litigation,but at this time is unable to predict the outcome,nor an amount orrange ofpotential impact
in the event ofan outcome adverse to the Company's interests.
Westmoreland Mine Permits
Two lawsuits have been commenced by the Montana Environmental Information Center and others,challenging certain permits relating to the operation ofthe Westmoreland
Rosebud Mine,which provides coal to Colstrip.In the first,the Montana District Court for Rosebud County issued an order vacating a permit for one area ofthe mine,which decision
was subsequently upheld by the Montana Supreme Court.In the second,the Montana Federal District Court vacated a decision by the federal Office of Surface Mining Reclamation
and Enforcement,a branch ofthe United States Department ofthe Interior;approving expansion ofthe mine into a new area,pending furtheranalysis ofpotential environmental
impact.An initial appeal ofthat decision to the Ninth Circuit was dismissed forleck ofjurisdiction,pending further proceedings before the Department ofthe Interior.Avista Corp.is
not a party to either ofthese proceedings,but continues to monitor the progress ofboth issues and assess the impact,ifany,ofthe proceedings on Westmoreland's ability to meet its
contractual coal supply obligations.
Rathdrum,Idaho Natural Gas Incident
In October 2021,there was an incident in Rathdrum,Idaho involving the Company's natural gas infrastructure.The incident occurred after a third party damaged those facilities
during excavation work.The incident resulted in a fire which destroyed one residence and resulted in minor injuries to the occupants.In January 2023,the Company was served with a
lawsuit filed in the District Court of Kootenai County,Idaho by one property owner;seeking unspecified dtlttt cL In February 2024,the Company received a second lawsuit filed by
the owners ofthe adjacent property,seeking damages forpersonal injury and emotional distress from having witnessed the incident.The Company will vigorously defend itselfin the
legal proceedings;however,at this time the Company is unable to predict the likelihood ofan adverse outcome or estimate a range ofpotential loss in the event ofsuch an outcome.
Complaint of Consumers for Independent Regional Transmission Planning for All FERC�furisdietional Transmission Facilities at 100kV and Ahave
In December 2024,the Company received notice ofa complaint fled with the FERC by Consumers for independent Regional Transmission Planning against all FERC-jurisdictional
Transmission providers with local planning tariffs utilizing facilities at 100 kV and above,which includes the Company.The complaint alleges that the local transmission planning
process allows individual transmission owners to plan FERC jurisdictional transmission facilities without regard to whether that planning is the more efficient or cost-effective project
for the interconnected grid and cost effective for customers.The Company intends to vigorously defend itselfin this action;however,at this time the Company is unable to predict the
likelihood ofan adverse outcome or estimate a range ofpotential loss in the event ofsuch an outcome.
Other Contingencies
In the normal course ofbusiness,the Company has various other legal claims and contingent matters outstanding.The Company believes any ultimate liability arising from these
actions will not have a material impact on its financial condition,results ofoperations or cash flows.It is possible a change could occur in the Company's estimates ofthe probability
oramount ofa liability being incurred.Such a change,should it occur,could be significant.
The Company routinely assesses,based on studies,expert analysis and legal reviews,its contingencies,obligations and commitments forremediation ofcontaminated sites,including
assessments ofranges and probabilities ofrecoveries from other responsible parties who eitherhave orhave not agreed to a settlement as well as recoveries from insurance tamers.The
Company's policy is to accrue and charge to current expense identified exposures related to environmental remediation sites based on estimates ofinvestigation,cleanup and
monitoring costs to be incurred.
The Company has potential liabilities under the Endangered Species Act and similar state statutes for species offish,plants and wildlife that have eitheralready been added to the
endangered species list,listed as"threatened"orpetitioned forlisting.Thus far,measures adopted and implemented have had minimal impact on the Company.However;the Company
will continue to seek recovery,through the ratemaking process,of all operating and capitalized costs related to these issues.
Under the federal licenses forits hydroelectric projects,the Company is obligated to protect its property rights,including water rights.In addition,the Company holds additional non-
hydro waterrights.The States of Montana and Idaho are each conducting general adjudications ofwater rights in areas that include the Company's facilities in these states.Claims
within the Clark Fork River basin and the Spokane Riverbasin could adversely affect the energy production of the Company's hydroelectric facilities.The Company is and will
continue to be a participant in the adjudication processes.The complexity ofsuch adjudications makes each unlikely to be concluded in the foreseeable future.As such,it is not
possible for the Company to estimate the impact ofany outcome at this time.The Company Ail]continue to seek recovery,through the ratemaking process,of all costs related to this
issue.
NOTE 16.REGULATORYMATTERS
Power Cost Deferrals and Recovery Mechanisms
Deferred power supply costs are recorded as a deferred charge or liability on the Balance Sheets for future prudence review and recovery or rebate through retail rates.The power
supply costs deferred include certain differences between actual net power supply costs incurred by Avista Corp.and the costs included in base retail rates.This difference in net power
supply costs primarily results from changes in:
short-temi wholesale market prices and sales and purchase volumes,
the level,availability and optimization ofhydroelectric generation,
the level and availability ofthermal generation(including changes in fuel prices),
retail loads,and
sales of surplus transmission capacity.
In Washington,the ERM allows Avista Corp.to periodically increase or decrease electric rates Aith WUTC approval to reflect changes in power supply costs.The ERM is an
accounting method used to track certain differences between actual power supply costs,net of wholesale sales and sales of fuel,and the amount included in base retail rates for
Washington customers.Under the ERM,the Company defers these differences(over the$4 million deadband and sharing bands)for future surcharge or rebate to customers.
The following is a summary ofthe ERM:
Deferred for
Future
Surcharge or Expense or
Rebate Benefit
Annual Power Supply Cog Wriability to Customers to the Company
within+/-$0 to$4 million(deadband) 00/ 100%
higher by$4 million to S10 million 50% 50%
lowerby$4 million to$10 million 75% 25%
higher or lower by over$10 million 90% 10%
Total net deferred power costs under the ERM were assets of$36 million as of December 31,2024 and$38 million as of December 31,2023.The deferred power cost assets represent
amounts due from customers,and deferred power cost liabilities represent amounts due to customers.
Pursuant to WUTC requirements,should the cumulative deferral balance exceed$30 million in the rebate or surcharge direction,the Company must make a filing with the WUTC to
adjust eustomermles to eilherretum the balance to customers orrecover/he balance from customers.Avista Corp.makes an annual filing on,orbefore,April 1 ofeach year to provide
the opportunity for the WUTC staffand other interested panics to review the prudence of,and audit,the ERM deferred powercost transactions for the prior calendaryean In June
2023.the Company received approval from the WUTC fora rate surcharge to customers over a two-year period,effective July 1,2023.
Avista Corp.has a PCAmechanism in Idaho allowing for the modification ofelectric rates on October 1 ofeach yearwith IPUC approval.Under the PCAmechanism,Avista Corp.
defers 90 percent ofthe difference between certain actual net powersupply expenses and the amount included in base retail rates for its Idaho customers.The October 1 rate
adjustments recoverorrobate power costs deferred during the preceding July-June twelve-month period.Total net power supply costs deferred underthe PCAmechanism were
liabilities of$15 million as of December 31,2024 and assets of$8 million as of December 31,2023.Deferred power cost assets represent amounts due from customers and liabilities
represent amounts due to customers.
Natural Gas Cost Deferrals and Recovery Mechanisms
Avista Corp.files a PGA in all three states it serves to adjust natural gas rates for.1)estimated commodity and pipeline transportation costs to serve natural gas customers for the
coming year,and 2)the difference between actual and estimated commodity and transportation costs for the prior year.In Oregon,the Company absorbs(cost or benefit)10 percent of
the difference between actual and projected natural gas costs included in base retail rates for supply that is not hedged.Total net deferred natural gas costs were a liability of$25
million as of December 31,2024 and an asset of$52 million as of December 31,2023.Asset balances represent amounts due from customers and liabilities represent amounts due to
customers.
Decoupling and Earnings Sharing Mechanisms
Decoupling(also known as an FCAin Idaho)is a mechanism designed to sever the link between a utility's revenues and consumers'energy usage.In each ofAvista Corp:s
jurisdictions,Avista Corp.'s electric and natural gas revenues are adjusted so as to be based on the numberofeustomers in certain customer rate classes and assumed"normal"kilowatt
hour and themt sales,rather than being based on actual kilowatt hour and therm sales.The difference between revenues based on the number of customers and"normal"sales and
revenues based on actual usage is deferred and either surcharged or rebated to customers beginning in the following year.Only residential and certain commercial customer classes are
included in decoupling mechanisms.
Washington Decoupling and Earnings Sharing
In Washington,the WUTC approved the Company's decoupling mechanisms for electric and natural gas through December2026.
Electric and natural gas decoupling surcharge rate adjustments to customers are limited to a 3 percent increase on an annual basis,with remaining surcharge balance carried forward for
recovery in a future period.There is no limit on the level ofrebate rate adjustments.New customers added after a test period are not decoupled until included in a future test period.
The decoupling mechanisms each include an after-the-fact earnings test.At the end ofeach calendaryear,separate electric and natural gas earnings calculations are made forthe
calendar yearjust ended.These earnings tests reflect actual decoupled revenues,normalized power supply costs and other normalizing adjustments.Through the 2022 general rate
taus,the Company modified its earnings test so that if the Company cams more than 0.5 percent higher than the rate ofretum authorized by the WUTC in the multi-yearrate plan,the
Company would defer these excess revenues and laterretum them to customers.
Idaho FCA and Earnings Sharing Mechanisms
In Idaho,the IPUC approved the implementation ofFCAs for electric and natural gas through March 31,2025.Apending application would extend the mechanism through August
31,2029.
Oregon Decoupling Mechanism
In Oregon,the Company has a decoupling mechanism for natural gas.An earnings review is conducted on an annual basis.In the annual earnings review,ifthe Company cams more
than 100 basis points above its allowed return on equity,one-third ofthe earnings above the 100 basis points would be deferred and later retumed to customers.The earnings review is
separate from the decoupling mechanism and was in place prior to decoupling.
Cumulative Decoupling and Earnings Sharing Mechanism Balances
As of December 31,2024 and December 31,2023,the Company had the following cumulative balances outstanding related to decoupling and earnings sharing mechanisms in its
various jurisdictions(dollars in millions):
December 31, December 31,
2024 2023
Washington
Decoupling surcharge(rebate) $ 18 $ (3)
Idaho
Decoupling surcharge(rebate) $ 1 $ (8)
Provision for earnings sharing rebate — (1)
Oregon
Decoupling surcharge(rebate) $ 1 $ (4)
NOTE 17.NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM ASSOCIATED COMPANIES
Avista Capital may borrow up to$80 million from Avista Corp.to cover subsidiary cash needs in accordance with board-approved limits.Avista Capital pays interest on the
outstanding amount at a rate at least equal to the Alternate Base Rate as defined in the Avista Corp.credit facility agreement,which is estimated at the Prime rate.This rate will be reset
when the Agent bank on the Avista Corp.credit facility agreement changes the Prime rate orthe margin.
As of December 31,2024,the Company had a note receivable balance from Avista Capital of$29 million with an applicable interest rate of7.5 percent.

interest rate swap derivatives(notional aggregate amount of$20 million)and received a net amount of$4 million.
The new issuance is based on the following state commission orders:

2. Order of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission,Order No.36079 entered February 1,2024.
