INTRODUCTION
Overview
The Province of Saskatchewan (“Saskatchewan” or “the Province”) was established as a province of Canada in 1905. Centrally located in Western Canada, it is bordered by the provinces of Manitoba to the east and Alberta to the west. The Province shares its 650-kilometer southern border with the American states of North Dakota and Montana and its 450-kilometer northern border with the Northwest Territories of Canada. With a 1,250-kilometer distance from north to south, Saskatchewan covers an area of 652,330 square kilometers.
The sparsely populated northern third of the Province is part of Canada’s Precambrian Shield and consists of forests, rivers and thousands of fresh water lakes. A sizeable commercial forest region is located across the entire central part of Saskatchewan. The southern half of the Province is part of the great continental plain of North America, consisting of a mixed agricultural and parkland area merging southward into open plains, a grain-growing region where the majority of the Province’s population resides. About 40% of all of Canada’s cultivated farmland is located in Saskatchewan.
The population of Saskatchewan was approximately 1,278,402 on July 1, 2026, compared with approximately 1,266,959 on July 1, 2025, and 1,122,210 on July 1, 2015. The Province’s two largest urban areas are the cities of Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan, with a population of approximately 263,419 on July 1, 2025, and Saskatoon, with a population of approximately 318,067 as of July 1, 2025.
The climate of Saskatchewan is generally dry, with temperatures varying markedly between very distinct seasons. The following table sets forth statistics on Saskatchewan’s population, area and climate.

Provincial Government
The executive power in the Province of Saskatchewan is vested in the Lieutenant Governor acting upon the advice of the Executive Council, which is responsible to the Legislative Assembly. The Lieutenant Governor is appointed by the Governor General of Canada in Council and the Governor General, in turn, is appointed by a commission under the Great Seal of Canada. The Executive Council, which includes the Premier and Cabinet Ministers of the Provincial Government, is appointed by the Lieutenant Governor on the nomination of the leader of the political party which forms the Government. Members of the Executive Council hold seats in the Legislative Assembly.
Saskatchewan’s Legislative Assembly has 61 seats and is elected for a term of four years, subject to earlier dissolution by the Lieutenant Governor acting in accordance with constitutional principles. The Legislative Assembly is usually dissolved by the Lieutenant Governor on the recommendation of the Premier. The most recent Provincial election was held on October 28, 2024 and resulted in a majority for the Saskatchewan Party as the Government of Saskatchewan. As of September 2026, representation is as follows: Saskatchewan Party, 34 seats, New Democratic Party, 26 seats, and Independent, 1 seat.
Constitutional Framework
Canada consists of a federation of ten provinces with a constitutional division of powers between the federal and provincial governments. Canada was established by the Constitution Act, 1867, an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, and by later enactments, including the Constitution Act, 1982, which transferred jurisdiction over the Constitution of Canada (the Constitution) from the United Kingdom to Canada.
Various constitutional issues have been under discussion in Canada for a number of years. On August 20, 1998, in response to a reference from the Federal government, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that under the Constitution of Canada and international law, Quebec may not secede unilaterally from Canada, but that if the people of Quebec voted to secede by a clear majority vote on a clear question, the other provinces and the Federal Government would be obliged to enter negotiations with Quebec with respect to secession, such negotiations to be guided by constitutional principles, including federalism, democracy, constitutionalism and the rule of law, and the protection of minorities.
Under the Constitution, each provincial Legislature has exclusive authority to borrow money on the sole credit of that province and the authority to raise revenue for provincial purposes through direct taxation within its territorial limits. Legislatures can also raise revenue through taxation in respect of non-renewable natural resources, forestry resources and sites and facilities for electricity production and generation. Each province owns minerals and other resources on its provincial Crown lands and may own sub-surface resources on its other lands. Each province has the right to levy royalties on all lands and minerals which it owns. Each province has the legislative authority to regulate the exploration for and development, conservation and management of non-renewable natural resources, forestry resources and electricity generation. Each province also has legislative authority in the areas of education, health, social services, property and civil rights, natural resources, municipal institutions and generally all matters of a purely local or private nature.
The Parliament of Canada is empowered to borrow money and to raise revenue by any mode or system of taxation. Parliament has legislative authority over, among other things, the federal public debt and federal property, the regulation of trade and commerce, currency and coinage, banks and banking, bankruptcy and insolvency, navigation and shipping, foreign affairs, defence, postal service and unemployment insurance. It also has authority over matters not assigned to the provincial legislatures.
Legal
The Government is involved in various legal actions, including aboriginal land claims, claims for damages to persons and property and disputes over taxes and funding, the outcome of which is not determinable. Each year, Saskatchewan’s Public Accounts Volume 1 discloses any potential liabilities resulting from these actions that can be reasonably estimated (see additional details on page 63 of Exhibit 99.2, Public Accounts 2025-26, Volume 1).

ECONOMY
Saskatchewan has a modern, open and diversified economy. Approximately two-thirds of all goods and services produced in the province are exported. Major exports include grains, oilseeds, crude oil, potash, natural gas, uranium and manufactured goods. While many of the goods and services producing industries are directly or indirectly related to agriculture and natural resources, the provincial economy continues to diversify into other service sectors, such as the growing technology sector in the province with activities around information technology, bio-technology, agriscience, etc. Saskatchewan’s abundance of renewable and non-renewable resources has made it the largest producer of wheat, the second largest producer of crude oil and the third largest producer of natural gas in Canada. Saskatchewan is one of the world’s leading suppliers of potash and uranium. The provincial government also operates crown-owned businesses in electricity generation and transmission, natural gas transmission, auto insurance and telecommunications.

Recent Developments
Saskatchewan’s economy expanded by 2.2 per cent in 2025, driven by strong growth in agricultural, especially crop production, and construction, supported by strong labour market performance, moderate population growth and solid investment in construction. In 2026, strong commodity exports, rising manufacturing sales, and continued investment in major projects and housing are supporting growth amid trade uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and slower population growth.
Saskatchewan’s real GDP is expected to grow by 1.5 per cent in 2026, according to the average of the private sector forecasts as of August 2026.

INTERNATIONAL MERCHANDISE TRADE
Amid rising trade protectionism and softer global demand, Saskatchewan’s international merchandise exports were valued at $43.6 billion in 2025, above the prior five-year average level of $42.8 billion, but down 4.0 per cent compared to 2024. The largest declines were in energy products (-$1.9 billion), where low oil prices drove the reduction in exports. Other notable declines in tariff-impacted sectors were in agricultural products (-$612.1 million), forestry products (-$192.2 million), industrial machinery (-$95.9 million) and metal and related products (-$124.3 million). These declines were partially offset by an increase in mining product exports under the category of metal ores and non-metallic minerals (+$1.0 billion).
Farm and intermediate food products, energy products (crude oil) and non-metallic minerals (potash) are Saskatchewan’s principal exports, accounting for 41.1 per cent, 32.7 per cent and 20.6 per cent, respectively, of total international exports in 2025. From 2021 to 2025, total international merchandise exports increased by 4.1 per cent per year on average, while imports increased by an average of 11.4 per cent per year.

Key Sectors of Saskatchewan’s Economy
Mining, Oil & Natural Gas
Mining, quarrying, oil and gas is the largest GDP-contributing sector in Saskatchewan. The dominant commodities from the sector include crude oil, potash, natural gas and uranium.
In 2025, the total value of mineral sales amounted to $24.4 billion, an increase of 0.3 per cent from the prior year, largely due to potash prices. Crude oil, natural gas and potash accounted for 85.2 per cent of the total value of mineral sales in 2025.
In the first six months of 2026, the value of oil production increased by 20.8 per cent compared to the same period in 2025. The value of natural gas sales decreased by 6.3 per cent in the first six months of 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The value of potash sales increased by 22.1 per cent, while the value of uranium sales decreased by 20.5 per cent in the first half of 2026, compared to the same period in 2025.

Oil. Saskatchewan is the second largest crude oil producing province in Canada. Subject to change due to price fluctuations and technology improvements, remaining economically recoverable reserves in the province are estimated to be 1.2 billion barrels of crude oil.
In 2025, the value of Saskatchewan’s oil production decreased by 15.1 per cent, and the volume of oil production dipped by 3.3 per cent. However, both are expected to increase in 2026, with the value of oil production projected to rise by about 16.2 per cent due to higher oil prices and the volume by 2.6 per cent compared to 2025.
Saskatchewan’s crude oil production is of light, medium and heavy gravity. The major market for Saskatchewan’s oil is the upper Midwest of the United States (approximately 65 to 75 per cent).
Currently, Saskatchewan has two facilities capable of upgrading heavy oil: The Husky Energy Lloydminster Upgrader in Lloydminster and the Co-op Refinery Complex in Regina. Husky’s upgrader currently has a throughput capacity of 82,000 barrels of heavy crude oil per day, while the Co-op Refinery Complex has the ability to process 135,000 barrels of crude oil per day. The Moose Jaw Refinery, an affiliate of Gibson Energy Ltd., currently processes about 22,000 barrels per day for use as roofing flux and high-quality road asphalt.
Many local and national oil and natural gas companies are actively involved in exploration and development in the province. The oil industry has experienced success with deep drilling discoveries and is adopting technological improvements, for example, new waterflood and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques, including carbon dioxide injection for EOR. The oil industry in the province invested approximately
18
$14.5 billion in the period from 2020 to 2025, exploring for and developing oil reserves. From 2021 to the end of 2025, 6,501 oil wells were drilled in Saskatchewan. In 2025, 1,119 oil wells were drilled in the province.
Natural Gas. The volume of Saskatchewan natural gas produced decreased by 5.1 per cent in 2025 from 2024, while the value of natural gas production available for use or sale increased by 12.6 per cent in the same period. The value and volume of natural gas production are projected to decline in 2026. The natural gas industry in the province invested between $1.8 million and $2.0 million in the period from 2021 to 2025, exploring for and developing natural gas reserves (note this value does not include investment from TransGas or other pipeline companies in Saskatchewan as well as gas plant cost). During this period, three natural gas wells were drilled.
Potash. Saskatchewan has ten potash mines that produce potash from massive reserves located in southern Saskatchewan. By conservative estimates, Saskatchewan could supply world demand at current levels for several hundred years. Potash production in Saskatchewan is highly mechanized and relatively low-cost because of the regularity and thickness of deposits and the predictability of ore grades.
In 2025, the Saskatchewan potash industry accounted for approximately one third of the world’s production and world trade. Saskatchewan’s largest potash market is the United States, followed by Brazil, Indonesia, and China. There are a large number of multinational companies active in the province’s potash industry. The Saskatchewan government implemented changes in 2003 and 2005 to the potash tax system to promote sales and investment by the potash industry. Since then, the government has continued to layer new modern tax incentives and regulatory shifts which target corporate expansions, research and development and infrastructure. As a result, the potash industry continues to be one of the main engines of economic growth in Saskatchewan’s economy for the future.
Since 2005, the Saskatchewan potash industry has committed over $40 billion to expansions and new mines, including the K+S solution mine at Bethune, Saskatchewan, the first new potash mine built in the province since the 1970s. The BHP Jansen Stage 1 potash mine project, which began construction in 2021, is now 84% complete as of mid-2026. First production from Stage 1 is expected in mid-2027, returning to the original estimated timeline, after the company indicated it was on track to produce in 2026 but has been delayed due to slower-than-expected progress. Furthermore, a $6.9 billion investment for the Jansen Stage 2 was approved in 2024. This stage, which is expected to take about six years to construct, is at 16% complete as of mid-2026 and is expected to deliver its first production by the 2031 calendar year. The Stage 2 investment will be used for the development of additional mining districts, expansion of processing facilities and the addition of more rail cars and would double the mine’s capacity to about 8.5 million tonnes per year from 4.15 million tonnes in Stage 1.
Uranium. Saskatchewan’s uranium production in 2023 represented 20 per cent of the global production, securing its position as the second largest producer behind Kazakhstan. Saskatchewan is the sole producer of uranium in Canada and has been producing uranium continuously since 1953. Uranium production is from the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan, which contains the largest, high-grade uranium deposits in the world and has significant potential for the discovery of additional deposits. Saskatchewan is recognized as a long-term and stable source of uranium.
Cigar Lake began commercial production in 2015. In 2025, the Cigar Lake uranium mine produced a total production of 19.1 million pounds of uranium ore, up 13.0 per cent from 2024. The ore from Cigar Lake is milled at the McClean Lake uranium mill located in northern Saskatchewan. Construction of the McClean Lake operation began in 1994. The mining and milling of uranium ore from five open-pit mines have been completed, and no conventional mining has been carried out at McClean Lake since 2008. Commercial production using the surface-based waterjet technique called the Surface Access Borehole Resource Extraction (SABRE) method started in July 2025 at McClean Lake. Uranium production at Cigar Lake is forecasted to be between 17.5 and 18.0 million pounds for 2026.
Future uranium production is expected to include several other deposits, including an expansion at McArthur River which has received regulatory approval, and potential for underground development at McClean Lake, the Midwest project and the Millennium project. The McArthur River project began production
19
in 1999 with the ore being processed at the Key Lake mill. Operations at the McArthur River and Key Lake facilities were suspended indefinitely in 2018 due to continued weakness in the uranium market. However, McArthur River mine and Key Lake were restarted in 2022 and started operation by transitioning back to production through the first three quarters of 2022, with no packaged pounds until the fourth quarter. Production ramp-up activities continued in 2024. McArthur River/Key Lake production was 15.1 million pounds in 2025, down by 25.6 per cent from 20.3 million pounds in 2024.
The Rabbit Lake mine, opened in 1975, was the longest-operating uranium mine in North America. Rabbit Lake was transitioned into a safe state of care and maintenance in 2016. In October 2023, a 15-year renewal licence was granted to Rabbit Lake, which will allow it to operate until October 2038 if it resumes operations.
Multiple exploration companies are working to develop new uranium mines in Saskatchewan. The most advanced projects are NexGen Energy’s Rook I, Denison Mines’ Wheeler River, and Paladin Energy Ltd.’s Patterson Lake South (PLS) project.
The NexGen Rook I project received the formal site preparation and construction license in March 2026 and broke ground on construction in August 2026. It is projected to take about four years to construct, and it is estimated to be a $2.2 billion investment. Once it is operational, it is anticipated to produce up to 30 million pounds annually.
The Wheeler River Project (Denison Mines) received a site preparation and construction license in February 2026. Commercial production is expected to begin by mid-2028, utilizing non-conventional mining methods resulting in lower environmental impacts.
The PLS project received provincial Environmental Assessment approval in February 2026 and is underway with CNSC licensing processes. On June 11, 2026, the CNSC provided a letter of sufficiency to Paladin for the licensing documents submitted for the project. This started the 24-month timeline in which the CNSC shall render a licensing decision.
Helium. Saskatchewan is Canada’s largest helium producer. Since 2020, Saskatchewan has moved from producing negligible amounts of helium to now providing nearly 3 per cent of global supply. Saskatchewan helium production is unique in that it involves dedicated helium production wells. This contrasts with the majority of global helium, which is a byproduct of natural gas production.
North American Helium is Saskatchewan’s largest helium producer. Additional producers include Canadian Helium and Helium Evolution. Industry has invested over $700 million into Saskatchewan’s helium sector. Saskatchewan now has 30 active producing helium wells and 9 helium purification facilities.
Saskatchewan recently moved to a competitive land tenure process for helium and natural hydrogen dispositions. The first public offering, covering over 265,000 hectares, raised over $15.9M.
Natural Hydrogen.
Natural hydrogen. Natural hydrogen is a nascent sector showing high private sector interest. If successful, natural hydrogen could be economically competitive with traditional hydrogen sources. In 2025, Max Power drilled Canada’s first dedicated natural hydrogen well in Saskatchewan, and since then has drilled an additional three wells in the province. Evaluation of these wells for their potential to produce commercial levels of natural hydrogen is ongoing.
Agriculture
Agriculture is the second largest goods-producing industry in Saskatchewan. Based on the 2021 Census of Agriculture, Saskatchewan has 34,128 farms. With slightly less than half of the total land area of the province utilized for farming, Saskatchewan has over 40% of the cultivated farmland in all of Canada.
20
Saskatchewan is famous for its crop production, with wheat, canola and durum being the province’s largest crops in terms of volume and value. Saskatchewan farmers harvested about 41.9 million tonnes of major crops in 2025, an increase of 13.7 per cent compared to the harvest in 2024.
Livestock production is also important in Saskatchewan. Approximately one-quarter of the total Canadian beef cattle herd is located in the province. Other livestock raised in Saskatchewan include hogs, sheep, lambs, poultry and dairy cattle.

Farm revenue comprises three components: crop receipts, livestock receipts and government program payments. Total farm cash receipts reached $21.1 billion in 2025, down 1.8 per cent from 2024.
21
Saskatchewan’s 2025 realized net farm income was nearly $2.9 billion, compared to about $4.0 billion in 2024. Realized net farm income is the result of deducting farm operating expenses and depreciation cost from farm cash receipts.
The following table sets forth Saskatchewan’s farm cash receipts for the five years ending in 2025.

Service Sector
The service sector contributes a substantial part of the province’s economic growth and creates the vast majority of jobs. In 2025, services accounted for 58.1 per cent of overall output and 78.0 per cent of total employment in the Province.
Of these, the biggest sector in terms of output share and employment is business, personal and community services. Output from the business, personal and community services sector accounts for more than one-fifth of the economy, while the sector accounts for slightly more than four out of every ten jobs in the Province. This sector consists of education and related services; health care institutions, including hospitals, nursing homes and welfare services; religious organizations; amusement and recreation services; business services such as management and business consultants and computer services; personal services; and accommodation and food.
22
Finance, insurance and real estate, which constitute a large component of the service-producing industries, represented 4.7 per cent of the employment in 2025. This segment includes banks and other institutions delivering financial services, insurance carriers and agencies and real estate companies.
GOVERNMENT FINANCES
Overview
The Government of Saskatchewan has general authority for the administration of provincial activities and functions within the province. Responsibility for a variety of such activities and functions has been ceded to local government bodies and agencies under the authority of numerous provincial statutes. Responsibilities of the Government not ceded to local government bodies are carried out directly by the Government and through a number of organizations and provincial Crown corporations.
The Government’s budgeting and reporting is focused on the Summary Financial Statements (SFS). This combines the General Revenue Fund (GRF), a general fund of the Government to which all public monies received are credited except where the Legislative Assembly has directed otherwise and from which funds are appropriated by the Saskatchewan Legislative Assembly, with all other organizations and provincial Crown corporations over which the Government has control.
Each year the Minister of Finance presents a budget to the Legislative Assembly that provides estimates of the Government’s planned activities during the fiscal year.
On March 18, 2026, the Minister of Finance submitted the budget for the fiscal year 2026-27, which is referred to herein as “Budget 2026-27” filed as Exhibit 99.6 to its Form 18-K/A filed with the Commission on May 15, 2026.
The accounts and financial statements of the Province are examined by the Provincial Auditor, an official appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council pursuant to The Provincial Auditor Act, P-30.01, who is responsible to the Legislative Assembly and is required to make a report to the Legislative Assembly with respect to each fiscal year. The financial statements of certain crown corporations and agencies are also subject to audit by the Provincial Auditor.
Specific Accounting Policies
The Province’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards issued by the Public Sector Accounting Board (“PSAB”).
The Government Reporting Entity
The Government’s budgeting and reporting are focused on the SFS, which combines the GRF, all other organizations and provincial Crown corporations over which the Government has control, and partnership arrangements.
The Government’s budgetary and reporting fiscal year begins on April 1 and ends on March 31. Adjustments are made for certain organizations within the reporting entity that have financial year-ends that differ from the Government’s fiscal year. Revenue and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.
Principles of Consolidation
This section describes the accounting treatment for each type of entity included in the Summary Financial Statements of the Province.
A Government Service Organization is an entity that is controlled by the government but is not a Government Business Enterprise or a partnership. Government Service Organizations include government ministries, certain crown corporations, agencies, boards and commissions. Government Service Organizations
23
are consolidated after adjustment to a basis consistent with the accounting policies of the Summary Financial Statement on a line-by-line basis, and inter-organization balances and transactions are eliminated.
A Government Business Enterprise is a self-sufficient organization and has the financial and operating authority to sell goods and services to individuals and organizations outside the government reporting entity as its principal activity. Government Business Enterprises have been accounted for using the modified equity method based on their results prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Using this method, the Government’s investment in government business enterprises, which is initially recorded at cost, is adjusted annually to include the Government’s proportionate share of net earnings or losses and certain other net equity changes of government business enterprises without adjustment to the accounting policies applied to the General Revenue Fund and other Government Service Organizations. Except for dividends and unrealized inter-entity gains and losses, inter-entity balances and transactions are not eliminated. Net equity of Government Business Enterprises is included in the Summary Financial Statements in the Statement of Financial Position, while any net income or net loss is shown as a separate line item in the Statement of Operations. The largest Government Business Enterprises, in terms of revenues, are Saskatchewan Power Corporation and Saskatchewan Telecommunications (these are discussed further in the “Certain Crown Corporations” section of this document).
A partnership is a contractual arrangement between the government and a party or parties outside the reporting entity. The partners have clearly defined common goals, make financial investments in the partnership, share control of governance decisions, and share, on an equitable basis, the significant risks and benefits associated with the operations of the government partnership. The government’s interest in partnerships is accounted for using proportionate consolidation after adjustment to a basis consistent with the accounting policies of the Summary Financial Statements. Inter-entity balances and transactions are eliminated.
A current listing of the organizations within the summary government reporting entity is published on Schedule 19 of the Public Accounts 2025-26 Volume 1 on pages 85-87 (Exhibit 99.2).
Revenues
Revenues are recorded on an accrual basis. The main components of revenue include income and consumption taxes, non-renewable resource revenues, income from Government Business Enterprises, interest and other own-source income, and federal transfers such as the Canada Health Transfer and Canada Social Transfer.
Taxation revenue is recognized when the tax has been authorized by the legislature and the taxable event occurs (such as when taxpayers earn income, purchase products and services, or own real property). Tax concessions are recorded as a reduction in taxation revenue.
Revenues from non-renewable resources are recognized based on production, sales, or profits generated from the specific resource.
Other own source revenue is recognized when the Government has the authority to obtain the related economic benefits and is expected to do so. For transactions for which the Government is obligated to provide specific goods or services, such as fees or sales of goods, services, licenses or permits, revenue is recognized as the related performance obligation is satisfied.
Transfers from the federal government are recognized as revenue in the period the transfer is authorized and eligibility criteria are met, except when and to the extent that the transfer stipulations give rise to an obligation that meets the definition of a liability.
Expenses
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. The main components of expense include salaries and benefits, transfers, operating costs, financing charges, and amortization. Transfers are recognized in the period during which the transfer is authorized and any eligibility criteria are met. Provisions are recorded for losses on certain loans, investments, loan guarantees, accounts receivable and advances where there has been a loss in
24
value other than a temporary decline. Contingent liabilities are recorded when it is likely that a liability exists and the amount can be reasonably determined.
Additional accounting policies are outlined in the Notes to the Summary Financial Statements in the Public Accounts 2025-26, Volume 1 (Exhibit 99.2).
Measurement Uncertainty
Uncertainty in the determination of the amount at which an item is recorded in the Province’s Summary Financial Statements is known as measurement uncertainty. Uncertainty exists whenever estimates are used because it is reasonably possible that there could be a material difference between the recognized amount and another reasonably possible amount. Details regarding amounts recorded in the Summary Financial Statements are provided on page 55 of the Public Accounts 2025-26, Volume 1 (Exhibit 99.2).
The financial information with respect to the Province set forth herein has been derived from several sources, including the Summary Financial Statements of the Province.
Unless otherwise indicated, amounts referred to as “Estimate for the year ended March 31, 2027” have been taken from the Budget 2026-27 tabled on March 18, 2026. The Budget is prepared on the same basis as the Summary Financial Statements (reflecting the Summary entity).
Restatements
New Accounting Standards
During 2025-26, there was a change in accounting policy applied retroactively, resulting in restatement of the prior period. Details regarding prior year changes are provided in the Summary Financial Statements Note 9 of the Public Accounts 2025-26, Volume 1 on page 63 (Exhibit 99.2).

| 1 | Almost all borrowing is done by the General Revenue Fund. Where the GRF borrows on behalf of a government entity, the entity is responsible for the principal and interest payments on this debt. |
| 2 | The GRF’s 2026-27 borrowing requirements at Budget were estimated to be $5,335.5 million. Of this amount, $1,683.7 million was to refinance existing debt and $3,651.8 million was to assist with operating and financing capital expenditures. At First Quarter, the borrowing requirements were forecast to be $5,443.0 million, which is $107.5 million higher than budget primarily due to the increase in borrowing for SaskPower. |

First Quarter Update
On August 27, 2026, the Province released its First Quarter Financial Report. Revenue update for the first quarter can be found on pages 1-3 of Exhibit 99.3.
Taxation
Revenue from taxation includes personal and corporate income taxes, provincial sales tax, tobacco and vapour products tax, fuel tax and other taxes, including liquor consumption, corporate capital and insurance premiums taxes as well as education property taxes.
Saskatchewan has a tax on income system for personal income tax. The Provincial tax on income is calculated on federally defined taxable income and consists of three income tax brackets. Recent personal income tax rates are displayed in the table below:
| 2026 Saskatchewan’s Personal Income Tax Rates |
| 10.5% on first $54,532 |
| 12% on next $101,273 |
| 14.5% on any remainder |
Saskatchewan also taxes corporate income. The Province’s portion of the general corporate tax rate is 12 per cent, with a reduced tax rate of 10 per cent applied to taxable income related to manufacturing and production (M&P). Corporations involved with M&P activities receive a tax reduction of up to 2.0 per cent, depending on the extent of the company’s presence in the province. A small business rate of 1.0 per cent is applied to the first $600,000 of active business income for Canadian Controlled Private Corporations that have taxable capital of less than $10 million. In December 2024, The Saskatchewan Affordability Act permanently changed the small business tax rate to 1.0 per cent. Recent changes in the corporate income tax rates are displayed in the table below:

Provincial corporate and individual tax is collected by the federal government through the Canada-Saskatchewan Tax Collection Agreement. Because the assessments of these taxes are not finalized until after the end of the taxation year, the federal government estimates the tax and remits this amount to the Province in regular instalment payments throughout the fiscal year. In 2023, Bill 122, The Saskatchewan Revenue Agency Act (the “Act”), was passed to lay the groundwork for the potential establishment of The Saskatchewan Revenue Agency, a new Treasury Board Crown corporation. The intent is that, in the future, this corporation would be responsible for administering taxes and related programs in Saskatchewan, including control of the provincial portion of the corporate income tax system from the federal government. The Act is not currently in force.
28
Saskatchewan Provincial Sales Tax (PST) is a consumption tax that applies at a rate of 6.0 per cent (increased from 5.0 per cent in March of 2017) on the purchase of tangible personal property and certain services consumed or used in Saskatchewan. Certain goods, including basic groceries and agricultural equipment along with certain services such as daycare and healthcare, are exempt from the PST. The Province provides consumer rebates on new home construction as well as a rebate to low-income consumers by way of an individual tax credit.
Non-Renewable Resources
Non-renewable resource revenue is collected by the Government in respect of the production and sale of crude oil, natural gas, potash, uranium, other minerals, as well as the sale of Crown petroleum and natural gas rights (Crown land sales).
The Province levies a Crown royalty on oil and natural gas produced from Crown lands and a production tax on oil and natural gas produced from freehold lands. Crown lands account for approximately two-thirds of oil production in Saskatchewan.
The Province levies a Crown royalty on potash produced from Crown lands and a production tax on potash produced from both Crown and freehold lands which are composed of a base payment and a profit tax component pursuant to The Mineral Taxation Act, 1983 and The Potash Production Tax Regulations.
A resource surcharge is also levied on the value of sales of oil, natural gas, potash, uranium and coal produced in the Province. The surcharge rate is three per cent for potash, uranium and coal, and for oil and natural gas from wells drilled before October 1, 2002. For oil and natural gas from wells drilled after September 30, 2002, the surcharge rate is one point seven per cent.
Other Own-Source
Other Own-Source revenue includes health care fees, crop insurance premiums, education fees, investment income, subsidized housing rental fees, motor vehicle licensing fees and other miscellaneous revenues.
Transfers from the Federal Government
Transfers from the Government of Canada consist of payments made to the Province to support a number of programs. The two major federal transfers to the Province are the Canada Health Transfer (“CHT”) and the Canada Social Transfer (“CST”).
CHT and CST: The CHT and the CST are the Federal Government’s contributions to the Province in respect of its health care, post-secondary education, childcare, and social service programs. These federal transfers are determined via an equal per capital cash allocation and do not bear a direct relationship to actual program costs. Annual changes to Saskatchewan’s allocation depend on the growth of the total federal funding envelope combined with changes to Saskatchewan’s share of the national population as reported by Statistics Canada.
From 2004-05 through 2016-17, the total CHT funding envelope grew by 6% per year. Beginning in 2017-18, the CHT grows at the 3-year average rate of nominal GDP growth, subject to a minimum growth rate of 3% annually. However, from 2023-24 to 2027-28, the minimum CHT growth will be 5% per year, due to a temporary post-pandemic increase in federal health funding. Additionally, as part of the temporary increase in funding, the federal government offered supplemental funding streams that are targeted to specific areas of health (e.g. long-term care). The CST funding envelope grows at a static 3% per year.
In 2026-27, the federal funding allocated to Saskatchewan under the CHT is $1,756.7 million and $548.8 million is allocated to Saskatchewan under the CST. There is also $167.8 million provided to the Province under two health-related bilateral agreements.
Equalization: Equalization is a federal expenditure program that provides unconditional payments to provinces with below-average revenue-raising capacities (fiscal capacities), according to a federal formula. The
29
Constitution states that “Parliament and the Government of Canada are committed to the principle of making Equalization payments to ensure that provincial governments have sufficient revenues to provide reasonably comparable levels of public services at reasonably comparable levels of taxation.”
Prior to 2008, Saskatchewan qualified for an Equalization payment in all but seven years from program inception in 1957-58 through to 2007-08. Due to a strong economy relative to other Canadian jurisdictions combined with reforms to the Equalization program introduced in the 2007 federal budget, Saskatchewan has not qualified for an Equalization payment since 2007-08.
Fiscal Stabilization: The Federal Government provides provinces with the Fiscal Stabilization Program (FSP) under the Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act. This legislation provides for federal grants and interest-free loans to provinces that suffer extraordinary declines in their own-source revenues resulting from economic shocks or downturns.
There are two ways in which a province can qualify for a stabilization payment from the Federal Government: (1) a 50 per cent year-over-year decline in resource revenues, net of any offsetting year-over-year increase in non-resource revenues, or (2) a 5 per cent year-over-year decline in non-resource revenues, net of any offsetting year-over-year increase in resource revenues. These eligibility criteria are difficult to achieve and qualification for the program is relatively rare.
Qualifying revenues are calculated in detail according to the provisions of the Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Regulations, 2007. The payment limit under the FSP was increased to $170 per capita (for 2019-20 and 2020-21 claims) and is now indexed to annual Canadian per capita economic growth.
Saskatchewan has qualified for this program only one time, in 2016-17 when non-resource revenues declined by 5.6 per cent. Prior to that claim, Saskatchewan was the only province that had never received a stabilization payment. High revenue growth during the recovery from the pandemic has prevented Saskatchewan from qualifying for the program in recent years, and it is unlikely that Saskatchewan will qualify for the program in the near future.
Net income from Government Business Enterprises
Government Business Enterprises (GBEs) are self-sufficient government organizations whose principal activity is the sale of goods and services to individuals and organizations outside of the Government Reporting Entity. GBEs include SaskPower, SaskTel, SaskEnergy, and Saskatchewan Government Insurance. Budget amounts for GBEs are incorporated as a single amount using the modified equity method, which includes the Government of Saskatchewan’s proportionate share of net earnings or losses.
For additional information regarding income from GBEs, see “Certain Crown Corporations.”

First Quarter Update
On August 27, 2026, the Province released its First Quarter Financial Report. An expense update for the first quarter can be found on pages 1-2 of Exhibit 99.3.
Agriculture
The agriculture theme includes expenses to assist and improve the agriculture and food industry through development activities including research, education, regulation and investment in the sector as well as providing direct support to producers through income stabilization and insurance programs.
The most significant component of Agriculture expense relates to the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation. Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (“SCIC”) is jointly funded by producers and the federal and provincial governments to provide production insurance to Saskatchewan producers. The federal government must agree to any changes as a condition of providing its share of funding. Crop Insurance premiums are shared between producers (40 per cent), the federal government (36 per cent), and Saskatchewan (24 per cent). Administration costs are shared between the federal government (60 per cent) and Saskatchewan (40 per cent). Producers may choose coverage levels of 50, 60, 70, or 80 per cent of their average yield.
The Crop Insurance Program is updated annually to ensure that it continues to meet the risk management needs of Saskatchewan producers. Premium rates and long-term average yields are adjusted to ensure the program remains actuarially sound. Insured prices are set annually to reflect the forecast market value for each crop.
Premium costs are set with the goal of collecting the correct amount of premiums to recover losses over the long term and maintain a sustainable program. However, as payouts are driven by the weather, there can be significant year-to-year variability.
If premiums do not cover indemnities in a given year, SCIC is required to draw down on the reserves available to it in the Crop Insurance Fund and Reinsurance Funds, which are funded by the cumulative premium surplus less past indemnity payments. When these Funds are drawn down, higher premiums are charged in future years to maintain a cushion for future liabilities and to repay any Reinsurance Fund debt. In addition to
31
the public reinsurance funds, SCIC purchases private reinsurance to stabilize premiums following years with high losses to protect both the program and producers.
AgriStability is a business risk management program designed to help farm operations facing substantial margin declines caused by production loss, increased costs or market conditions. Coverage is calculated using each participant’s historical tax and supplemental information. Costs of AgriStability are shared by the federal and provincial governments on a 60/40 basis.
Community Development
The community development theme includes expenses to maintain and develop engaged and vibrant communities, including financial assistance and infrastructure funding to local governments and other authorities, which in turn provide community services. Community development also includes funding directed to specific community services such as sport, culture, arts, and heritage that improve quality of life.
Economic Development
The economic development theme includes expenses to strengthen, expand and diversify Saskatchewan’s economy as well as to promote trade and growth in export markets. The expense arises from activities such as research, marketing, product development, financing, financial assistance, technology and infrastructure. Economic development also includes the strategic management of Saskatchewan’s non-renewable resources to support future economic activity.
Education
The education theme includes expenses to develop and maintain a quality pre-kindergarten through post-secondary education system, designed to impart knowledge and information, including activities that encourage ongoing learning and the acquisition of specialized skills, providing supports to help students be successful. The education theme also includes funding for early learning and childcare.
Education is the second largest expense of Province, constituting 21.0 per cent of 2026-27 budgeted expenses. The most significant components of Education expense are portions of the Ministries of Advanced Education (responsible for post-secondary education support) and the Boards of Education (responsible for elementary and secondary education support).
Environment and Natural Resources
The environment and natural resources theme includes expenses to protect and improve the quality of the environment through the management of fish, wildlife, forests and land, recycling, and the prevention and clean-up of environmental hazards.
Financing Charges
The financing charges theme includes expenses associated with general debt including interest, foreign exchange gains and losses, discounts and premiums, fees and commissions. It also includes financing costs related to pension and other employee future benefits liabilities, obligations under long-term financing arrangements such as public-private partnerships and capital lease obligations. Please refer to “Pension Funds” for additional information pertaining to the pension liability and related interest expense.

Health
Health is the largest expense of the Province, constituting 38.0 per cent of 2026-27 budgeted expenses. Health expense primarily includes the delivery of health services through acute, emergency, rehabilitative, long-term, community-based, and home-based care; cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment programs; the prevention and control of infectious diseases; the subsidization of prescription drugs; and the education and promotion of healthy lifestyles.
The provinces administer and deliver most of Canada’s health care services, with all provincial and territorial health insurance plans expected to meet national principles set out under the Canada Health Act. Each provincial and territorial health insurance plan covers medically necessary hospital and doctors’ services that are provided on a pre-paid basis, without direct charges at the point of service. The provincial and territorial governments fund these services with assistance from federal cash and tax transfers.
Protection of Persons and Property
The protection of persons and property theme includes expenses to promote and ensure the security, safety and protection of residents and property, which is mainly achieved through a fair justice system, policing programs and supervision and rehabilitation services for offenders. Protection of persons and property also includes services that promote, support and enforce safe work practices and employment standards; provincial emergency management through 911 services, public safety, and disaster assistance and wildfire management; and victims’ services.
Social Services and Assistance
The social services and assistance theme includes expenses to provide financial assistance and services to individuals and families in need because of poverty, abuse, neglect and disability. This includes income support programs, accessible and safe housing, child protection services, adoption services and providing life’s needs to persons with intellectual disabilities.
Transportation
The transportation theme includes expenses for the development, construction and maintenance of an integrated provincial transportation system using highways, rural roads, bridges, ferry crossings, airstrips and communication networks.
Loans and Investments
The following table sets forth the balances of loans and investments of the Province for the Summary Entity, net of allowances for uncollectible amounts adopting the accounting policies described in “Government Finance – Specific Accounting Policies” above. Government Business Enterprises are discussed further in the “Certain Crown Corporations” section below.

PROVINCIAL DEBT
Funded Debt of the Province
Saskatchewan’s financing activities involve the raising of funds through the issue and sale of Province of Saskatchewan debt securities, loans from financial institutions, and changes in deposits held. Funds raised are used to assist in the financing of the capital budgets of, and to provide a temporary credit facility for, general government purposes, Crown corporations and other entities over which the Government has control. Crown corporations are responsible for reimbursing the General Revenue Fund for the costs of servicing the interest and principal associated with debt borrowed on their behalf. In addition to direct borrowing in the name of the Province, the Government provides loan guarantees for purposes such as agriculture and special investment programs.
The following table sets forth the funded debt of the Province for the Summary Entity as described in “Government Finance – Specific Accounting Policies” above, outstanding at March 31 for five fiscal years ending March 31, 2026, each as audited under the Province’s accounting policies in effect at the time.

Note: N/A = not available
Approximately 36 per cent of the gross debt at March 31, 2026, was incurred for Government Business Enterprises, leaving approximately 64 per cent of the Summary Financial Statement gross debt at
35
March 31, 2026, incurred for general government purposes. The increase in general debt is primarily attributable to the Province’s capital plan spending and to fund the current year deficit.
During fiscal year 2026, the Government issued and sold $5,702.4 million in debentures and $680.9 million of other loans. Of this total ($6,383.3 million), $4,442.2 million was issued for general purposes, and $1,941.1 million was issued for government business enterprises and miscellaneous summary entities.
During the same period, debentures with a value of $1,429.7 million and other loans with a net value of $89.3 million were redeemed. Of the total amount ($1,519.0 million), $1,104.1 million was for general purposes, and $414.9 million pertained to government business enterprises.
The Government’s sinking funds totalled $3,736.6 million at March 31, 2026. Contributions to the Government’s sinking funds amounted to $423.7 million in fiscal year 2026 with redemptions of $113.3 million.
The following table breakdowns the Sinking Fund balances at March 31 for five fiscal years ending March 31, 2026, each as audited under the Province’s accounting policies in effect at the time.

The majority of guaranteed debt consists of guarantees pertaining to Saskatchewan Indigenous Investment Finance Corporation.
Authority for the Government to guarantee the debt of others must be provided in specific legislation since no general statutory authority exists. The Financial Administration Act, 1993 provides that no department, board, commission or agent of the Government shall provide a guarantee or a program of guarantees of loans or other liabilities by which guarantee or program of guarantees the Government of Saskatchewan would be liable to make any payment with respect to the loans or liabilities, unless the guarantee or program of guarantees, as the case may be, has received the prior approval of the Minister of Finance. Certain Crown corporations are separately authorized to provide guarantees of the debt of others.
The Government of Saskatchewan provided Royal Trust with a guarantee and indemnity in 1983 respecting the liability and obligations of CIC Mineral Interest Corporation pursuant to each of two lease agreements of CIC Mining Corporation (previously the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Mining Limited) for the purchase of mining equipment. The Government has been released from all such guarantees but remains contingently liable for indemnity related to damages caused by the equipment and provisions governing the payment of taxes for the period during which its guarantees to Royal Trust were in place.
The Saskatchewan Indigenous Investment Financing Corporation (SIIFC), a Crown Corporation operating under The Saskatchewan Indigenous Investment Finance Corporations Act was established to provide loan guarantees to Indigenous communities or organizations to contribute directly to long-term, sustainable growth of Saskatchewan’s natural resources and value-added agriculture economy and related infrastructure. The SIIFC may guarantee approved loans up to $75 million.
In June of 2024, SIIFC announced that it would provide an aggregate amount of up to $100 million in loan guarantees to six Indigenous partners to support their investment in Enbridge’s new renewable wind energy project southeast of Weyburn, Saskatchewan. The partners would receive an aggregate amount of up to $100 million in loan guarantees from SIIFC to support acquiring at least 30 per cent equity in the project. As of March 31, 2026, $7.0 million in loan guarantees have been issued by SIIFC. The current year budget and first quarter forecast anticipates that SIIFC will have guaranteed an estimated $75 million in loans by March 31, 2027.
Derivative Financial Instruments
37
The Province is party to financial instruments, either to hedge against the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates or to manage risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. Foreign currency contracts are used by the Province to convert the liability for foreign currency borrowing and associated costs into Canadian dollars. The Province uses interest rate swap contracts to convert certain interest payments from floating interest rates to fixed interest rates.
The Ministry of Finance’s general policy is to enter into derivative transactions with creditworthy counterparties that meet established risk management criteria.
Details of the Province’s floating rate debt and swap contracts are provided in the Summary Financial Statements Note 4 of the Public Accounts 2025-26, Volume 1 on pages 55-56 (Exhibit 99.2).

| 2 | Sinking fund balances reflects existing funds only and excludes planned future contributions. |
Sinking funds are maintained by the Province and certain Crown Corporations for the orderly retirement of a portion of debt. Current regulation requires that a minimum of 1.0 per cent of the face value of issued debt be contributed annually where the debt carries a term of 10 years or more. Additionally, for any debt carrying a term of 10 years or more that is issued specifically for capital spending under the Saskatchewan Capital Plan, a minimum of 2.0 per cent annual contribution is required.
Funds contributed are managed according to approved investment policies. Currently, the Province’s sinking fund is invested in securities issued by the Government of Canada, Canadian provinces, Canadian municipalities, and public pension asset managers.

Note: The above listing does not include any amount related to pension liabilities and derivative liabilities.
Debt Record
The Government has always paid the full face amount of the principal of and interest on every direct obligation issued by it and every indirect obligation on which it has been required to meet its guarantee, all promptly when due in the lawful currency of the country where payable at the time of payment thereof, subject during wartime to any applicable laws and regulations forbidding trading with the enemy.
Other Public Sector Debt
The Summary Financial Statements do not disclose the debt of all public entities located within the Province. Responsibility for a variety of provincial functions and powers has been transferred to municipalities and certain other local authorities. Other local bodies raise money for their purposes, in the case of municipalities by way of direct levy on persons or property within their jurisdiction or, in other cases, by requisition on municipalities, and may have the power to borrow money, subject to the approval of the Saskatchewan Municipal Board. The Saskatchewan Municipal Board is an autonomous regulatory body established by Provincial statute with broad powers to regulate local government activity.
Notwithstanding that significant financial assistance for operating and capital expenditures is made available to local government bodies by appropriation of the Legislative Assembly, the activities of local government bodies, including borrowing, are conducted independently of the Government. The Government is not directly or contingently liable for debt incurred by these bodies, and, relative to the gross debt of the Summary Financial Statements and the GDP of the Province, debt incurred by these bodies is not significant.
Pension Funds
The Government sponsors several defined benefit pension plans and a defined contribution pension plan. The Government also participates in a joint defined benefit pension plan.
Defined Benefit Plans
Defined benefit plans provide benefits based on length of service and pensionable earnings. A typical defined benefit plan provides pensions equal to 2.0 per cent of a member’s average five years’ highest salary, multiplied by the years of service to a maximum of 35 years. Employees contribute a percentage of salary,
39
which may vary based on age, to their plan. Pensions and contribution rates are integrated with the Canada Pension Plan.
Actuarial valuations are performed at least triennially. When a valuation is not done in the current fiscal year an actuary extrapolates the most recent valuation. Valuations and extrapolations are based on a number of assumptions about future events, such as inflation rates, interest rates, wage and salary increases and employee turnover and mortality. These assumptions reflect estimates of expected long-term rates and short-term forecasts. Estimates vary based on the individual plan.
The accrued benefit obligation is determined using the projected benefit method prorated on services. Pension plan assets are valued at market-related values based on the actual market values averaged over a four-year period.
The two main defined benefit plans are the Teachers’ Superannuation Plan (TSP) and the Public Service Superannuation Plan (PSSP). The Government mitigated its pension liability exposure when it introduced the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Retirement Plan (STRP) in 1980 and the Public Employees’ Pension Plan (PEPP) in 1997, and closed the TSP and the PSSP to new members. The Government’s contributions to the STRP and PEPP are fixed and there is no pension liability exposure for the Government under these plans (see discussion below).
Other plans include Judges of the Provincial Court Superannuation Plan (Judges), Saskatchewan Transportation Company Employees Superannuation Plan, Anti-TB League Employees Superannuation Plan, and the Pension Plan for the Non-Teaching Employees of the Saskatoon School Division No.13 (PPNTE). Defined benefits are also payable to members of the former Members of the Legislative Assembly Superannuation Fund (MLA).
The Government is required to match employee current service contributions for all plans except the PSSP, Judges and PPNTE. Funding contributions are required for the PPNTE. Separate pension plan assets are maintained for TSP, Judges and PPNTE. For the other plans, employee contributions are received and pension obligations are paid directly by the Government.
Joint Defined Benefit Plans
Joint defined benefit plans are governed by formal agreements between the joint sponsors (i.e., participating employers and plan members) establishing that the joint sponsors have shared control over the plan. Funding contributions and significant risks of the plan are shared on an equitable basis between the joint sponsors. Accordingly, the Government accounts for only its portion of the plan. Plan assets and surpluses are restricted for member benefits or certain other purposes set out in the agreements. Plan benefits are determined on the same basis as defined benefit plans.
The accrued benefit obligation is determined using the projected benefit method prorated on services. Pension plan assets are valued at market-related values by averaging the difference between the net investment income on a market value basis and the expected investment income, based on the expected rate of return on plan assets, over a five-year period.
The Government also participates in the Saskatchewan Healthcare Employees’ Pension Plan (SHEPP), a joint defined benefit plan for employees of the Saskatchewan Health Authority and certain other Government health entities. The Government participating employers contribute to the plan at the ratio of 1.12 to 1 of employee contributions and any actuarially determined deficiency is the responsibility of participating employers and employees at the same ratio. The Government portion of employer contributions represents approximately 98 per cent of total participating employer contributions to the plan.
Information regarding the defined benefit plans and the joint defined benefit plan of government service organizations can be found in Note 5 page 57 of Exhibit 99.2.
40
Defined Contribution Plans
Defined contribution plans provide pensions based on accumulated contributions and investment earnings. Employees contribute a percentage of salary. The Government provides contributions at specified rates for employee current service. Pension plan assets of government-sponsored defined benefit and defined contribution plans are invested in fixed income securities, equities, real estate, pooled investment funds and short-term monetary items. The investment in government of Saskatchewan securities is insignificant for all plans.
The Government sponsors the Public Employees Pension Plan (PEPP). The Government provides contributions to the plan at specified rates for employee current service. The government also contributes to the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Retirement Plan (STRP) which is sponsored by the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation, as well as the Municipal Employees’ Pension Plan (MEPP) and the Regina Civic Employees’ Superannuation and Benefit Plan (RCESP). The Government has fully funded its share of contributions to the defined contribution plans.
Information regarding the defined contribution plans of government service organizations can be found in Note 5 page 58 of Exhibit 99.2.

Government Business Enterprise – Defined Benefit Pension Plans
There are additional employee pension plans of government business enterprises that are accounted for in the investment in government business enterprises.
The two main defined benefit plans of government business enterprises are the Power Corporation Superannuation Plan (SaskPower) and the Saskatchewan Telecommunications Pension Plan (SaskTel). Other plans include the Saskatchewan Government Insurance Superannuation Plan, the Liquor Board Superannuation Plan, and the Pension Plan for the Employees of the Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB). The WCB pension plan was wound up during 2020-21. The Government contributes the amount necessary to fund the payment of pension benefits.
Information on the defined benefit plans of government business enterprises can be found in Note 5 on page 59 of Exhibit 99.2.
Based on the latest actuarial valuation with extrapolations to the government business enterprises’ year end, the present value of the accrued benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets are shown in Note 5, page 60 of Exhibit 99.2.

CERTAIN CROWN CORPORATIONS AND AGENCIES
Introduction
Saskatchewan’s Crown corporations are involved in a broad range of activities, including the provision of electricity, natural gas, telecommunications, insurance and other goods and services, primarily within the
42
province’s borders. Crown corporations are almost exclusively commercial enterprises intended to be self-sustaining.
Traditionally, the capital requirements of the Government’s enterprises have been financed, with few exceptions, through direct obligations of, or advances by, the General Revenue Fund (GRF). Provincial legislation governing certain Crown corporations provides for the issuance of securities by these enterprises, with or without a guarantee of the Province. Pursuant to The Financial Administration Act, 1993, all borrowings by provincial Crown corporations must be approved by Saskatchewan’s Minister of Finance.
For administrative purposes, Saskatchewan’s Crown corporations are categorized into two separate groups. As discussed below, most Crown corporations with self-sustaining commercial operations are under the purview of, and report to, Crown Investments Corporation of Saskatchewan. All other Crown corporations report directly to the Treasury Board, which is a committee of the Executive Council.
Self-sustaining Crown corporations are accounted for in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and they are consolidated in the Government’s financial statements using the modified equity method. Crown corporations that are not self-sustaining are accounted for in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards, and are consolidated after eliminating inter-entity balances and transactions.
Crown Investments Corporation of Saskatchewan (CIC)
Introduction
CIC is a provincial Crown corporation without share capital, established and operating under the authority of The Crown Corporations Act, 1993. CIC, as a legal entity, does not carry debt. CIC is wholly owned by the Government of Saskatchewan. CIC is responsible for certain government investments, including Crown corporations and financial and operating investments. Crown corporations are designated as being under the purview of CIC by legislation or Order-in-Council.
As at March 31, 2026, there were six corporations so designated: Lotteries and Gaming Saskatchewan (LGS), Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI CANADA), Saskatchewan Power Corporation (SaskPower), Saskatchewan Telecommunications Holding Corporation (SaskTel), Saskatchewan Water Corporation (SaskWater), and SaskEnergy Incorporated (SaskEnergy). Of these corporations, LGS, SaskPower, SaskTel, SaskEnergy and SGI CANADA are the most significant in terms of assets, liabilities, and operating income generated.
The Saskatchewan Auto Fund is not a Crown corporation and is not included in CIC’s consolidated results. However, it is administered by Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) and is, therefore, included in the commentary below. CIC is the sole shareholder of CIC Asset Management Inc. (CIC AMI), a wholly owned share capital subsidiary which is domiciled in Canada.

| 1 | On June 1, 2023, LGS began operations. SGC was reconfigured as a wholly-owned business subsidiary of LGS. 2020-21 to 2022-23 net earnings (loss) were exclusively derived from SGC’s casino operations. |
| 2 | Consolidation adjustments reflect the elimination of all inter-entity transactions, such as grants from CIC to Crown corporations, revenues and expenses between Crown corporations, and dividends paid by Crown corporations to CIC. |
CIC administered six subsidiary Crown corporations at March 31, 2026. Following is a brief commentary on CIC’s five major holdings plus the Saskatchewan Auto Fund that is administered by SGI.
LGS
LGS oversees the management of lotteries and gaming activities in Saskatchewan including lotteries, casinos, video lottery terminals (VLTs), and online gaming. A portion of earnings from Saskatchewan lottery and gaming activities are received by LGS and distributed to the GRF and other various organizations in accordance with The Lotteries and Gaming Saskatchewan Corporation Act and Gaming Framework Agreement.
| | Net earnings improved by $16.5 million primarily due to increased revenue from land-based casinos, online gaming, and VLTs. This was driven by strong economic conditions which resulted in more disposable income in the province and increased guest spending. |
| | Dividends declared to CIC were $215.1 million (2024-25 - $190.0 million). |
SaskEnergy
SaskEnergy operates a natural gas distribution utility that provides natural gas and related services to residential, farm, commercial, and industrial customers in Saskatchewan. In addition, TransGas Limited (TransGas) is SaskEnergy’s wholly owned natural gas transmission and storage subsidiary.
| | Net earnings decreased by $6.1 million primarily due to unfavourable market value adjustments on natural gas contracts. Fair value adjustments are impacted by changes in the volume of natural gas contracts outstanding and the difference between contract and market prices. Excluding market value adjustments, SaskEnergy saw improved earnings due to customer connection capital contributions and effectively using transportation and storage capacity to take advantage of natural gas market pricing differentials to generate earnings. This was partially offset by new technology implementation costs, higher software lease and maintenance costs, and higher third-party transportation costs. |
| | Dividends to CIC were $33.8 million (2024-25 - $31.8 million). |
SaskTel
SaskTel provides competitive wireless, voice, entertainment, internet, data, equipment, marketing, security, software and consulting products and services. The corporation’s major asset is a wholly owned subsidiary, Saskatchewan Telecommunications, which has been the principal supplier of telecommunications in Saskatchewan for over 100 years. SaskTel’s operations are regulated by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.
44
| | Net earnings increased by $22.5 million primarily due to growth in key business segments including wireless network services and equipment, fixed broadband and data services, and maxTV services. Growth in wireless and fixed broadband was driven by SaskTel’s network expansion and improvements to its infiNET and 5G networks throughout Saskatchewan. maxTV content package restructuring provided increased value to customers, driving migrations to higher tier packages. SaskTel also sold its out of province security monitoring accounts, resulting in additional revenue. |
| | Dividends declared to CIC were $41.9 million (2024-25 - $32.9 million). |
SaskPower
SaskPower is Saskatchewan’s energy supplier. It generates, purchases, transmits, distributes, and sells electricity and related products and services. SaskPower supplies electricity from a variety of sources including import, natural gas, coal, hydro, wind, solar, and other.
| | SaskPower experienced a net loss of $113.4 million in 2025-26, a decrease in earnings of $189.1 million from 2024-25, primarily due to the discontinuation of the collection of the federal carbon charge rate rider from customers effective April 1, 2025 and increased fuel and purchased power costs. SaskPower saw an increase in fuel and purchased power costs due to higher generation volumes from increased customer demand and an increase in the federal carbon charge to $95/tonne of CO2e effective January 1, 2025 and $110/tonne effective January 1, 2026. Increased maintenance overhaul activities at generation facilities and higher vegetation management costs also contributed to the increase. |
| | Partially offsetting these negative earnings impacts were higher Saskatchewan electricity sales due to higher demand from residential, farm, commercial, and power customer classes and the implementation of a 3.9 per cent system average rate increase effective February 1, 2026. Export sales increased due to higher sales volumes to the Midwest Independent System Operator and the Southwest Power Pool and other revenue increased due to higher customer contributions. SaskPower also received a $187.0 million grant from CIC to support rate affordability for customers and $175.0 million in Clean Electricity Transition Grant funding from the Province. |
| | Dividends declared to CIC were $nil (2024-25 - $nil). |
SGI CANADA
SGI CANADA is the trade name of the property and casualty insurance division of Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) which offers products in five Canadian provinces. It operates as SGI CANADA in Saskatchewan and SGI CANADA Insurance Services Ltd. (SCISL) in Alberta, Manitoba, British Columbia, and Ontario. SCISL also has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Coachman Insurance Company, which operates in Ontario. Products are sold through a network of independent brokers throughout Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario.
| | Net earnings increased by $32.5 million largely due to continued premium growth, primarily in Saskatchewan and Alberta, and a positive claims experience in provinces outside Saskatchewan. The growth in Saskatchewan premiums was driven by increases in the average cost per policy of farm, personal lines, and personal and commercial auto products. Premium growth in Alberta was driven by increases in both the number of policies sold and the average cost per policy sold in personal lines and personal and commercial auto products. Although significant catastrophic claims were incurred in Saskatchewan due to the wildfires, this was offset by lower claims in all jurisdictions except Alberta. |
| | Dividends declared to CIC were $16.0 million (2024-25 - $18.0 million). |
Saskatchewan Auto Fund
45
As the compulsory automobile insurance program for Saskatchewan residents, the Auto Fund provides vehicle registrations, driver’s licences, basic minimum liability insurance required to operate a vehicle and coverage for damage to or loss of an insured vehicle, subject to a deductible. The Auto Fund is administered by SGI. SGI’s role is to oversee the operations of the Auto Fund for the Province of Saskatchewan based on the legislative requirements contained in The Automobile Accident Insurance Act.
The Auto Fund does not receive money from, nor pay dividends to, the Province of Saskatchewan, SGI, or CIC. The Auto Fund is operated on a self-sustaining basis viewed over a long-term time frame. Any annual financial excess or deficiencies of the Auto Fund are recorded in its Rate Stabilization Reserve (RSR). The RSR is held on behalf of Saskatchewan’s motoring public and cannot be used for any other purpose by the government or the administrator.
| | Net loss for 2025-26 was $93.3 million, an improvement in earnings of $104.7 million from 2024-25 primarily from higher premiums due to new vehicles being licensed in the province and positive discounting impacts. This was partially offset by lower investment results due to more stable interest rates resulting in lower fixed income gains. |
Capital Expenditures
During 2025-26, capital expenditures made by CIC and the Crown corporations under its purview totalled $2.6 billion (2024-25 - $2.2 billion) an increase of $0.4 million from 2024-25. Total consolidated assets administered by CIC were $26.9 billion as of March 31, 2026, an increase of $1.7 billion from 2024-25.
Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel
On July 26, 2000, the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel (Panel) was established. The Panel advises the Government of Saskatchewan on rate applications proposed by SaskEnergy, SaskPower and the Saskatchewan Auto Fund. The Panel reviews each rate application and provides an independent public report on its opinion about the fairness and reasonableness of the rate change, while balancing the interests of the customer, the Crown corporation, and the public. The provincial Cabinet makes the final decision on rate change requests, which can differ from the Panel’s recommendation. Two rate applications were filed in 2025-26.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE
Canada maintains a floating exchange rate for the Canadian dollar, which permits the rate to be determined by fundamental market forces without intervention except as required to maintain orderly market conditions.
Closing spot exchange rates for the U.S. dollar in Canada, expressed in Canadian dollars per U.S. dollar, are shown in the table below for 2021 through 2025.

| 1 | The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) is a compulsory national pension plan in which residents of all provinces, except Quebec, participate. Provincial securities sold to the CPP prior to July 1, 2005, are payable 20 years after their respective dates of issue. Effective July 1, 2005, no new loan capital is available to provinces. However, provinces are permitted to roll over maturing securities and may choose the term of the new securities within the parameters of not less than five years and not more than 30 years. The securities are not negotiable, not transferable or assignable, but are redeemable in whole or in part before maturity at the option of the Minister of Finance of Canada, on six months’ prior notice when he deems it necessary in order to meet the requirements of the Canada Pension Plan or at the option of the Province with at least one month prior notice to the Minister of Finance of Canada |
| 2 | Sinking funds are required for debt with a term of 10 years or more. Sinking Fund investments consist primarily of debentures of the Province of Saskatchewan, other provincial governments and the Government of Canada. |
| 3 | The Province has executed currency swap contracts to convert any foreign-denominated debt into Canadian-denominated debt. This debt is reflected in the above list in Canadian dollars using the foreign exchange rate effective in the swap contract. |
