ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT

FEES AND SERVICES

Reference is hereby made to “Audit Matters — Audit Fees and — Pre-Approval Policies” in the 2026 Proxy Statement.

APS

The following fees were paid to APS’s independent registered public accountants, Deloitte & Touche LLP, for the last two fiscal years:

(1) The aggregate fees billed for services rendered for the audit of annual financial statements and for review of financial statements included in Reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, respectively.

(2) The aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the financial statements and are not included in Audit Fees reported above, which primarily consist of fees for employee benefit plan audits in 2025 and 2024.

The Audit Committee pre-approves each audit service and non-audit service to be provided by Deloitte and Touche LLP for APS. The Audit Committee has delegated to the Chair of the Audit Committee the authority to pre-approve audit and non-audit services to be performed by the independent public accountants if the services are not expected to cost more than $100,000. The Chair must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. All of the services performed by Deloitte & Touche LLP for APS in 2025 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee or the Chair consistent with the pre-approval policy.
