CEO COMMENT
Greg Ebel, President and CEO commented the following:
"This quarter, we concluded the successful acquisition of the three U.S. natural gas utilities first announced in September 2023 (the "Acquisitions"). The assets are a perfect fit within Enbridge's existing low-risk business model, offer reliable cash flow, and come with embedded quick-cycle growth opportunities. I am very proud of our team's commitment to execution and ongoing integration efforts and look forward to working with our new colleagues and stakeholders to deliver safe, reliable, affordable energy to over 7 million Gas Distribution customers in North America.
"Across the business, we saw strong utilization of our assets which drove another solid quarter of financial results, positioning us to achieve full-year guidance for the 19th year in a row. We expect to be near the top of our 2024 EBITDA range, and close to the mid-point of our original DCF per share guidance range. The macro-outlook for energy infrastructure demand and the value of incumbency has never been higher. Enbridge is uniquely positioned to take advantage of this opportunity and capitalize on future growth across the business. Electricity demand for data centers, natural gas demand for industrial growth and onshoring, and renewable power demand to help customers meet emissions targets are driving unprecedented customer conversations. In addition, domestic and international oil demand highlight the necessity of integrated infrastructure, and Enbridge is there to provide it. Together, our four core businesses provide a highly diversified and valuable portfolio for both customers and investors.
"We have positioned Enbridge's business model to succeed in all market conditions. Our four core franchises deliver high-quality cash flow and predictable growth, underpinning our sustainable return of capital to shareholders. For 29 years, Enbridge has grown its dividend, making us one of a few dividend aristocrats in our industry and providing shareholders with a first-choice investment opportunity - now and into the future.
"In Liquids, demand for the Mainline remains strong and our volumes for 2024 are expected to exceed 3 million barrels per day. Growth in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) and the demand-pull nature of the system is driving discussions with customers for additional WCSB egress in 2026 and beyond. In the Permian, strong Gray Oak volumes continue to support high utilization at our state-of-the-art Ingleside crude export facility which saw single day and monthly average volume records during the quarter. We closed our previously announced acquisition of additional dock space and adjacent land to Ingleside and expect the transaction to unlock future low multiple optimization and expansion opportunities.
"In Gas Transmission, we sanctioned the construction of two new pipeline systems to support bp's Kaskida development in the Gulf of Mexico, which further extends our secured growth program in the latter half of the decade. We also enhanced our Permian gas value chain through the acquisition of an interest in highly contracted natural gas pipelines that are a key feeder system to the Whistler Pipeline and deliver critical energy to serve U.S. Gulf Coast demand. This announcement follows the in-service of ADCC Pipeline and sanctioning of Blackcomb Pipeline, demonstrating the strategic value and growth opportunities being unlocked through the Whistler Parent JV announced earlier this year.
"In Gas Distribution, we now operate the largest natural gas utility in North America delivering approximately 9.3 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day to over 7 million customers. The acquired U.S. utilities have a rate base compound annual growth rate of approximately 8% through 2027 and are located in supportive regulatory jurisdictions. Opportunities to deliver affordable energy from growing gas demand is expected to accelerate that growth and increase the visibility of our long-term outlook.
"In Renewable Power, we continue to execute on our disciplined growth strategy. The 250 MW second phase of Fox Squirrel Solar entered service in August 2024 and construction of the third phase is underway with in-service expected by year-end. We also sanctioned the Sequoia Solar development in Texas, which has long-term power purchase agreements with AT&T and Toyota for the majority of production. The facility is expected to enter service in two phases, in 2025 and 2026, with a capacity of 815 MW.
"Looking forward, our industry-leading footprint and world-class execution puts us in a great position to benefit from increasing demand and serve new and growing customer bases. We remain committed to disciplined investment, maintaining a strong balance sheet and growing our dividend. Financial discipline combined with our low-risk business model and visible growth backlog are expected to drive strong shareholder returns in all market cycles and position Enbridge as a first-choice investment opportunity."

GAAP earnings attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2024 increased by $761 million, or $0.33 per share, compared with the same period in 2023. This increase was primarily due to:
- a non-cash, net unrealized derivative fair value gain of $112 million ($92 million after-tax) in 2024, compared with a net unrealized loss of $782 million ($591 million after-tax) in 2023, reflecting changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchange, interest rate and commodity price risks;
- the absence in 2024 of a provision adjustment of $124 million ($95 million after-tax) related to a litigation matter; and
- operating performance factors discussed below.
The period-over-period comparability of GAAP earnings attributable to common shareholders is impacted by certain unusual, infrequent factors or other non-operating factors which are noted in the reconciliation schedule included in Appendix A of this news release. Refer to the Company's Management's Discussion & Analysis for the third quarter of 2024 filed in conjunction with the third quarter financial statements for a detailed discussion of GAAP financial results.
Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2024 increased by $330 million compared with the same period in 2023. This was due to higher revenue on the Mainline system from higher tolls, higher contributions from U.S. Gulf Coast natural gas storage assets, and contributions from recently acquired assets including Enbridge Gas Ohio, Enbridge Gas Utah, additional Hohe See and Albatros offshore wind interests, Tomorrow RNG and the Whistler Parent JV. These impacts were partially offset by the absence of contributions from Alliance Pipeline and Aux Sable due to the sale of our interests in these investments in April 2024.
Adjusted earnings in the third quarter of 2024 decreased by $80 million, or $0.07 per share, compared with the same period in 2023, primarily from higher financing costs due to higher debt principal and rates mainly attributable to the acquisition of Enbridge Gas Ohio and Enbridge Gas Utah, and higher depreciation expense from assets acquired and placed into service last year, partially offset by higher adjusted EBITDA contributions discussed above.
DCF for the third quarter of 2024 increased by $23 million compared with the same period in 2023, primarily due to the higher adjusted EBITDA contributions discussed above, partially offset by higher financing costs from higher debt principal and rates mainly attributable to the acquisition of Enbridge Gas Ohio and Enbridge Gas Utah, higher maintenance capital related to acquired assets, and higher U.S. Corporate Alternative Minimum taxes.
Per share metrics in 2024, relative to 2023, are impacted by the significant prefunding activities for the Acquisitions, including the bought deal equity issuance in the third quarter of 2023 and at-the-market (ATM) issuances in the second quarter of 2024 as part of the financing plan for the Acquisitions.
Detailed financial information and analysis can be found below under Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results.
FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
The Company reaffirms its 2024 financial guidance for EBITDA and DCF, recast for the Acquisitions on August 2, 2024. Results for the first nine months of 2024 are in line with the Company's expectations and Enbridge anticipates that its businesses will continue to experience strong capacity utilization and operating performance through the balance of the year. The Company expects to finish the year near the top end of the EBITDA guidance range and around the midpoint of the DCF per share guidance range.
The company also reaffirms its 2023 to 2026 near-term growth outlook of 7-9% for adjusted EBITDA growth, 4-6% for adjusted earnings per share (EPS) growth and approximately 3% for DCF per share growth.
FINANCING UPDATE
On August 19, 2024, Enbridge issued $1.8 billion of senior notes consisting of $600 million of 5-year senior notes, $800 million of 10-year senior notes, and $400 million of 30-year senior notes. Proceeds from these offerings were used to pay down existing indebtedness, to fund capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes.
The company exited the third quarter with a Debt-to-EBITDA metric of 4.9x. Enbridge expects annualized EBITDA contributions from the closing of the Acquisitions to strengthen its debt-to-EBITDA position throughout 2025 while continuing to fund its secured capital growth program within its equity self-funding model.
SECURED GROWTH PROJECT EXECUTION UPDATE
During the quarter, the second phase of the Fox Squirrel Solar facility was placed into service, and it has been removed from the secured growth program. New to the backlog this quarter are the Canyon Systems Pipelines, the Sequoia Solar project and the third phase of Fox Squirrel.
The Company's secured growth backlog now sits at $27 billion and is underpinned by commercial frameworks consistent with Enbridge's low-risk model. Financing of the secured growth program is expected to be provided entirely through the Company's anticipated $8-9 billion of annual growth capital investable capacity.
BUSINESS UPDATES
Liquids Pipelines: Closed Acquisition of Land and Docks adjacent to EIEC
On October 24, 2024 Enbridge closed its acquisition of two additional docks and land adjacent to EIEC from Flint Hills Resources for a total purchase price of ~US$0.2 billion. Onsite integration work and additional construction at the docks is underway, with expected completion in 2025. The acquisition enables optimization of EIEC's existing docks by increasing Very Large Crude Carrier windows on the primary facility docks. In addition, the new docks and land help unlock valuable growth opportunities at EIEC.
Gas Transmission: DBR Equity Investment
Enbridge has acquired a 15% interest in DBR, a Permian natural gas system serving as a key supply conduit for the Whistler Pipeline, from I Squared Capital. The system is highly contracted with investment grade counterparties under long-term agreements. The DBR system includes the Agua Blanca Pipeline, Waha Connector Pipeline, Carlsbad Gateway Pipeline, and a 50% interest in Waha Gas Storage. The transaction is expected to be accretive to Enbridge's per share metrics and support ongoing growth connecting Permian Basin natural gas supply to growing LNG and other U.S. Gulf Coast demand.
Gas Transmission: Sanctioned Canyon System Pipelines
Enbridge has sanctioned the construction of two new offshore pipelines to deliver natural gas and crude oil from bp's Kaskida offshore play. The development includes a new 24/26" oil pipeline which will connect to Shell Pipeline Company LP's Green Canyon 19 Platform and a 12" gas pipeline connecting to Enbridge's existing Magnolia Gas Gathering Pipeline. Enbridge's total investment is expected to be approximately US$700 million, with an anticipated in-service date of 2029.
The project expands the Company's offshore business and is underpinned by long-term contracts which are consistent with Enbridge's low-risk business model. The agreements contain options which bp may elect to exercise to connect potential future production from its emerging Paleogene portfolio into the newly developed pipelines. Both the Canyon Oil Pipeline and the Canyon Gas Gathering System are being designed to accommodate connections from nearby discoveries.
Gas Distribution and Storage: Closed Acquisition of Public Service Company of North Carolina
On September 30, 2024, Enbridge closed its acquisition of PSNC for a purchase price of approximately US$3.2 billion, inclusive of US$1.3 billion of assumed debt. Going forward PSNC will conduct business as Enbridge Gas North Carolina. The utility serves approximately 600,000 customers and owns 13,000 miles of transmission, gathering and distribution pipelines.
The closing of this acquisition marks the successful completion of the strategic acquisition of three U.S. based gas utilities first announced in September 2023.
Renewable Power: Sequoia Solar Project
Enbridge announced today it has sanctioned the Sequoia Solar project, a two phase 815MW solar farm approximately 150 miles west of Dallas, Texas. Upon completion, Sequoia will be one of the largest solar projects in North America. The construction is significantly de-risked by preliminary equipment and procurement contracts, with key permits and purchase orders already executed. The project is substantially contracted under long term fixed-price power purchase agreements with strong investment grade counterparties, including AT&T and Toyota. Enbridge's estimated capital cost for the project is ~US$1.1 billion, with phased project completions expected in 2025 and 2026.
Renewable Power: Fox Squirrel Solar Project
The second phase of the Fox Squirrel Solar project entered service in the third quarter and is now delivering 250MW of electricity into the PJM grid. With the successful completion of the second phase, Enbridge has elected to participate in the development of the third and final phase of Fox Squirrel Solar, in partnership with EDF Renewables. Enbridge will fund US$168 million towards the final phase, which is expected to enter service in late 2024 and generate 177MW of renewable power. All three phases of the project are supported by 20-year-fixed-price power purchase agreements with Amazon.

For purposes of evaluating performance, the Company makes adjustments to GAAP reported earnings, segment EBITDA and cash flow provided by operating activities for unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors, which allow Management and investors to more accurately compare the Company's performance across periods, normalizing for factors that are not indicative of underlying business performance. Tables incorporating these adjustments follow below. Schedules reconciling EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA by segment, adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share and DCF to their closest GAAP equivalent are provided in the Appendices to this news release.
Adjusted EBITDA By Segment
Adjusted EBITDA generated from U.S. dollar denominated businesses was translated to Canadian dollars at a higher average exchange rates (C$1.36/US$) in the third quarter of 2024 when compared with the same quarter in 2023 (C$1.34/US$). A significant portion of U.S. dollar earnings are hedged under the Company's enterprise-wide financial risk management program. The hedge settlements are reported within Eliminations and Other.

Tariff tolls, per barrel, for heavy crude oil movements from Hardisty, AB to Chicago, IL. Effective July 1, 2023 the Company began collecting a dual currency, international joint tariff set within the negotiated settlement for tolls on the Mainline pipeline system. Excludes abandonment surcharge. |
6 |
Effective July 1, 2022, the Line 3 Replacement Surcharge (L3R), exclusive of the receipt terminalling surcharge, is determined on a monthly basis by a volume ratchet based on the 9-month rolling average of ex-Gretna volumes. Each 50 kbpd volume ratchet above 2,835 kbpd (up to 3,085 kbpd) applies a US$0.035/bbl discount whereas each 50 kbpd volume ratchet below 2,350 kbpd (down to 2,050 kbpd) adds a US$0.04/bbl charge. Refer to Enbridge's Application for a Toll Order respecting the implementation of the L3R Surcharges and CER Order TO-003-2021 for further details. |
Liquids Pipelines adjusted EBITDA increased $44 million compared with the third quarter of 2023, primarily related to:
- higher Mainline system tolls from annual escalators, effective July 1, 2024;
- higher contributions from Southern Lights Pipeline due primarily to the discontinuation of rate-regulated accounting as at December 31, 2023; and
- the favorable effect of translating U.S. dollar earnings at a higher average exchange rate in 2024, as compared to 2023; partially offset by
- lower Regional Oil Sands System volume throughput.

Heating degree days is a measure of coldness that is indicative of volumetric requirements for natural gas utilized for heating purposes in Enbridge Gas Ontario's distribution franchise areas. |
5 |
Normal weather is the weather forecast by Enbridge Gas Ontario in its legacy rate zones, using the forecasting methodologies approved by the Ontario Energy Board. |
Enbridge Gas Ontario, Enbridge Gas Utah and PSNC adjusted EBITDA will typically follow a seasonal profile. It is generally highest in the first and fourth quarters of the year. Enbridge Gas Ontario, Enbridge Gas Utah and PSNC's seasonal profile reflects greater volumetric demand during the heating season and the magnitude of the seasonal EBITDA fluctuations will vary from year-to-year reflecting the impact of colder or warmer than normal weather on distribution volumes. Enbridge Gas Ohio's earnings are largely decoupled from volumes and less impacted by weather fluctuations. Enbridge Gas Utah and PSNC have revenue decoupling mechanisms that are not impacted by weather or gas volume variability, but revenues are shaped to align with the seasonal usage profile.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter increased $251 million compared with the third quarter of 2023 primarily related to:
- full-quarter contributions from the Enbridge Gas Ohio and Enbridge Gas Utah acquisitions in 2024; and
- higher distribution charges resulting from increases in rates and customer base, and higher demand in the contract market at Enbridge Gas Ontario.
The impact of weather for Enbridge Gas Ontario was negligible in the third quarters of 2024 and 2023.

Third quarter 2024 DCF increased $23 million compared with the same period of 2023 primarily due to operational factors discussed above contributing to higher adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by:
- higher debt principal and rates, mainly attributable to the acquisition of Enbridge Gas Ohio and Enbridge Gas Utah resulting in higher interest expense;
- higher U.S. Corporate Alternative Minimum taxes; and
- higher maintenance capital from the acquisitions of Enbridge Gas Ohio and Enbridge Gas Utah.
Weighted average common shares increased due to the bought deal equity issuance in the third quarter of 2023 and ATM equity issuances in the second quarter of 2024 as part of the funding for the Acquisitions.

Adjusted earnings decreased $80 million and adjusted earnings per share decreased by $0.07 when compared with the third quarter in 2023 primarily due to:
- higher debt principal and rates, mainly attributable to the acquisition of Enbridge Gas Ohio and Enbridge Gas Utah resulting in higher interest expense;
- higher depreciation from assets acquired or placed into service since the third quarter of 2023; partially offset by
- higher adjusted EBITDA driven by operational factors discussed above.
Per share metrics were negatively impacted by the bought deal equity issuance in the third quarter of 2023 and ATM issuances in the second quarter of 2024, as part of the funding for the Acquisitions.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Forward-looking information, or forward-looking statements, have been included in this news release to provide information about Enbridge and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including management's assessment of Enbridge and its subsidiaries' future plans and operations. This information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward looking statements are typically identified by words such as ''anticipate'', ''expect'', ''project'', 'estimate'', ''forecast'', ''plan'', ''intend'', ''target'', ''believe'', "likely" and similar words suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook. Forward-looking information or statements included or incorporated by reference in this document include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the following: Enbridge's corporate vision and strategy, including our strategic priorities and outlook; 2024 financial guidance and near term outlook, including projected DCF per share and adjusted EBITDA and expected growth thereof; expected dividends, dividend growth and dividend policy; the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions of three natural gas utilities from Dominion Energy, Inc. (the Acquisitions) and the expected integration thereof; expected supply of, demand for, exports of and prices of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGL), liquefied natural gas (LNG), renewable natural gas (RNG) and renewable energy; anticipated utilization of our assets; expected EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA; expected earnings/(loss) and adjusted earnings/(loss); expected DCF and DCF per share; expected future cash flows; expected shareholder returns and asset returns; expected performance of Enbridge's businesses; financial strength and flexibility; financing costs and plans, including with respect to the Acquisitions and our equity self-funding model; expectations on leverage, including Debt-to EBITDA ratio; sources of liquidity and sufficiency of financial resources; expected in-service dates and costs related to announced projects and projects under construction; capital allocation framework and priorities; impact of weather and seasonality; expected future growth and expansion opportunities, including secured growth program, development opportunities, customer growth, and lower carbon opportunities and strategy, including with respect to the Whistler Parent JV, Canyon System Pipelines, and Sequoia and Fox Squirrel Solar projects; expected closings, benefits, accretion and timing of transactions; expected future actions and decisions of regulators and courts and the timing and impact thereof; and toll and rate case discussions and filings, and anticipated timing and impact therefrom.
Although Enbridge believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable based on the information available on the date such statements are made and processes used to prepare the information, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements. By their nature, these statements involve a variety of assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results, levels of activity and achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Material assumptions include assumptions about the following: the expected supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas, NGL, LNG, RNG and renewable energy; prices of crude oil, natural gas, NGL, LNG, RNG and renewable energy; anticipated utilization of our assets; exchange rates; inflation; interest rates; availability and price of labour and construction materials; the stability of our supply chain; operational reliability and performance; maintenance of support and regulatory approvals for our projects, toll and rate applications; anticipated in-service dates; weather; announced and potential acquisition, disposition and other corporate transactions and projects and the timing and benefits thereof, including with respect to the Acquisitions; governmental legislation; litigation; credit ratings; hedging program; expected EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA; expected earnings/ (loss) and adjusted earnings/(loss); expected earnings/(loss) or adjusted earnings/(loss) per share; expected future cash flows; expected future DCF and DCF per share; estimated future dividends; financial strength and flexibility; debt and equity market conditions; and general economic and competitive conditions. Assumptions regarding the expected supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas, NGL, LNG, RNG and renewable energy and the prices of these commodities are material to and underlie all forward-looking statements, as they may impact current and future levels of demand for our services. Similarly, exchange rates, inflation and interest rates impact the economies and business environments in which we operate and may impact levels of demand for our services and cost of inputs and are therefore inherent in all forward-looking statements. The most relevant assumptions associated with forward-looking statements regarding announced projects and projects under construction, including estimated completion dates and expected capital expenditures, include the following: the availability and price of labour and construction materials; the stability of our supply chain; the effects of inflation and foreign exchange rates on labour and material costs; the effects of interest rates on borrowing costs; the impact of weather; the timing and closing of acquisitions, dispositions and other transactions and the realization of anticipated benefits therefrom; and customer, government, court and regulatory approvals on construction and in-service schedules and cost recovery regimes.
Enbridge's forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties pertaining to the successful execution of our strategic priorities; operating performance; regulatory parameters and decisions; litigation; acquisitions and dispositions and other transactions, and the realization of anticipated benefits therefrom, including the Acquisitions; project approval and support; renewals of rights-of-way; weather; economic and competitive conditions; global geopolitical conditions; political decisions; public opinion; dividend policy; changes in tax laws and tax rates; exchange rates; interest rates; inflation; commodity prices; and supply of and demand for commodities, including but not limited to those risks and uncertainties discussed in this news release and in Enbridge's other filings with Canadian and U.S. securities regulators. The impact of any one assumption, risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty, as these are interdependent, and our future course of action depends on management's assessment of all information available at the relevant time. Except to the extent required by applicable law, Enbridge assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement made in this news release or otherwise, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS APPENDICES
This news release contains references to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per common share and DCF per share. Management believes the presentation of these metrics gives useful information to investors and shareholders, as they provide increased transparency and insight into the performance of the Company.
EBITDA represents earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors on both a consolidated and segmented basis. Management uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to set targets and to assess the performance of the Company and its business units.
Adjusted earnings represent earnings attributable to common shareholders adjusted for unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors included in adjusted EBITDA, as well as adjustments for unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors in respect of depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, income taxes and noncontrolling interests on a consolidated basis. Management uses adjusted earnings as another measure of the Company's ability to generate earnings and uses EPS to assess performance of the Company.
DCF is defined as cash flow provided by operating activities before the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities (including changes in environmental liabilities) less distributions to noncontrolling interests, preference share dividends and maintenance capital expenditures and further adjusted for unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors. Management also uses DCF to assess the performance of the Company and to set its dividend payout target.
This news release also contains references to Debt-to-EBITDA, a non-GAAP ratio which utilizes adjusted EBITDA as one of its components. Debt-to-EBITDA is used as a liquidity measure to indicate the amount of adjusted earnings to pay debt, as calculated on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), before covering interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.
Reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios to comparable
GAAP measures are not available due to the challenges and impracticability of estimating certain items, particularly certain contingent liabilities and non-cash unrealized derivative fair value losses and gains
subject to market variability. Because of those challenges, a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios is not available without unreasonable effort.
Our non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios described above are not measures that have standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not U.S. GAAP measures. Therefore, these measures may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers.
The tables below provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures.
