Contact Information & Safe Harbor Paul J. Bonavia, Chairman, President and CEO Kevin P. Larson, SVP and CFO Investor Relations Contact Information Chris Norman, Director Daniel Mark, Senior Analyst (520) 884.3649 (520) 884.3621 cnorman@uns.com dmark@uns.com Investor Information http://ir.uns.com Safe Harbor and Non-GAAP Measures This document contains forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties, that include, but are not limited to: state and federal regulatory and legislative decisions and actions; regional economic and market conditions which could affect customer growth and energy usage; weather variations affecting energy usage; the cost of debt and equity capital and access to capital markets; the performance of the stock market and changing interest rate environment, which affect the value of the company's pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets and the related contribution requirements and expense; unexpected increases in O&M expense; resolution of pending litigation matters; changes in accounting standards; changes in critical accounting estimates; the ongoing restructuring of the electric industry; changes to long-term contracts; the cost of fuel and power supplies; performance of TEP's generating plants; and other factors listed in UniSource Energy's Form 10- K and 10-Q filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preceding factors may cause future results to differ materially from historical results or from outcomes currently expected by UniSource Energy. The Company's press releases and other communications may include certain non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) financial measures. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is defined as a numerical measure of a company's financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company's financial statements. Non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company include presentations of revenues, operating expenses, operating income and earnings (loss) per share. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operations of the Company. Certain non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company exclude: the impact of non-recurring items; the effect of accounting changes or adjustments; expenses that are reimbursed by third parties; and other items. The Company's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors by removing the effect of variances in GAAP reported results of operations that are not indicative of fundamental changes in the earnings or cash flow capacity of the Company's operations. Management also believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures is largely consistent with its past practice, as well as industry practice in general, and will enable investors and analysts to compare current non-GAAP measures with non-GAAP measures with respect to prior periods. 1

Regulatory Oversight Arizona Corporation Commission Set retail energy rates Constitutionally created branch of Arizona government Five commissioners elected state-wide Limited to serve two consecutive four year terms Commissioner Term Expires Gary Pierce (R)(Chairman) Jan. 2015* Brenda Burns (R) Jan. 2015 Bob Stump (R) Jan. 2013 Sandra Kennedy (D) Jan. 2013 Paul Newman (D) Jan. 2013 * Unable to run for re-election - two term limit Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Transmission rates Long-term wholesale transactions 31


 

Energy Efficiency Standards ACC approved Electric Energy Efficiency Standards in 2010 Designed to require TEP and other affected utilities to implement cost effective demand side management programs Electric EE Standards target total retail kWh savings in 2011 of 1.25% of 2010 sales Targeted kWh savings increase annually in subsequent years until they reach a cumulative annual reduction in retail kWh sales of 22% by 2020 ACC Decoupling Policy Adopted in December 2010 Designed to encourage energy conservation by restructuring utility rates to separate the recovery of fixed costs from the level of energy consumed Policy indicates that revenue per customer decoupling may be well suited for Arizona as it responds to customer growth Utilities can propose decoupling mechanism in next general rate case application 32

We believe Base O&M provides useful information to investors because it represents the fundamental level of operating and maintenance expense related to our core utility business. Base O&M excludes expenses that are directly offset by revenues collected from customers and other third parties.
